For week 4 I finally got the video streamer box in and was able to start streaming game content officially. I started streaming a game called Little Nightmares. It looked really interesting so I decided to start playing, plus it had puzzle problem solving which I thought would be good for streaming. Since problem solving can be done easier with more people, it is also something I have seen be more successful than other games. The first stream didn’t get any main view during streaming but I noticed people watched it afterwards and it got a good amount of views. It was also fun having someone in the stream chat to communicate with as I played, it was a good stream overall.
On the technical side I decided to keep my face a secret using a mask I have but still have a face camera. The lighting was made to be dark but with colored light in the back just to make things feel a little spooky to pair with the game. But everything was working well with the stream. There wasn’t lag that I noticed with the new box I got, everything worked out well, I also used the overlays I made and I think they looked really good. I archived the stream on my youtube channel and it can be watched there.
