Hello there!
Many thanks for reading as you do every week. I try to be a little more concise and efficient every time!
So no jokes just information about what's coming up.
Over the past few days, I've been working on some fixes, and adding the hidden possibility of setting City Game Studio to borderless mode. A mode that works in windowed or full-screen mode.
However, this week I also started to tackle the meaty part of the next update!
A big chunk of code to write, which will take me several weeks.
Right now, City Game Studio is able to authenticate to Twitch's chatroom (via a rather neat IRC client), and I've also put up a web page to retrieve the authentication token.
Here's the link, but please note that the link alone doesn't connect City Game Studio to Twitch.
Once you click on the authentication button from within the game, this web page will open. If you open it in your browser, you won't see much of interest.
To sum up, today the IRC client in City Game Studio already connects to the twitch IRC server, but it's disabled. The reason is simple: it hasn't been sufficiently tested to be activated yet.
Meanwhile, the following commands will be available via the Twitch chatroom.
- !developer: You become a potential developer for the streamer to hire.
- !accountant: You become a potential accountant for the streamer to hire.
- !network_administrator: You become a potential network administrator that the streamer can hire.
- !marketing_manager: You become a potential marketing manager for the streamer to hire.
- !human_resource: You become a potential HR that the streamer can hire.
- !producer: You become a potential producer for the streamer to hire.
- !game: You can suggest a game name.
Having created these commands fairly quickly, I still have a lot of work to do before I can really integrate them into City Game Studio.
Nevertheless, I'm open to suggestions. Any ideas for commands? Any outlandish ones?
As always, I look forward to hearing from you in the comments!
I wish you all a great weekend.
