Hello all, everyone,
I'm having an incredibly busy week, but I've got time to read what you have to say.
I appreciated all the ideas you gave me in the comments to the last devlog. Besides, they're great ideas.
Now, without further ado, here's what I've been up to this week.
Twitch integration
Now it's available, but it's not finished yet. I've made a lot of improvements to the IRC client that connects to Twitch, and I think it's stable enough to be tested. If you have any comments on the Twitch integration, go ahead. For the moment, I find it very smooth, as all you have to do is enter your information and the game connects. And when you want to disconnect, you remove the information and the game disconnects itself.
Back to interactions, your viewers can now join the list of available recruits. All this happens directly in Twitch chat, no need to install an extension. By typing !help, each viewer has his or her own command. There are only a few available, and I'll be adding to them as I go along.
A few ideas include asking spectators to name things: a game, a building, a studio, a company... There's also the possibility of recruited spectators posting emojis on their heads. That should make the game a little more interactive! I'll get to all that next week, if I have time.
Other changes
I've also made a few minor fixes. I haven't yet started on the studio furnishings feature, but I plan to work on it in the coming weeks.
In any case, I thank you for your ideas, most of which will be incorporated into the game, and as always :
I'll be reading you in the comments as always!
In the meantime, I wish you a great weekend.
