Streaming this on Twitch.

When I was at OffKai, I was thinking about some of my ideas for making the stream better over the last year. I want to get an updated VTuber avatar, but I’ll experiment with some ideas for that on Tuesday. Today, I want to consider the stream overlay:

• What is the overall vibe? Motivating, Cool, Productive
• I’m okay with aspects that have dry humor
• Virtual environment (like YukieVT and mdxcai)
• Start doing 1080p streams
• Interactive elements *
  • I am bad at coming up with these, please help me with this
  • “Ask a question popup” When a question is asked using a redeem, add it to a queue. Have a special “answering booth” scene for answering questions maybe.
  • Let people submit items to a news ticker
  • “wrap up tangent” redeem
• Automatic interactive elements
  • For example:
    • If there is a tv in the background you could change the channel
    • If there is radio in the background, you could change the station
  • Creative ideas:
    • (high effort) We can add a piano (or some other music instrument) in the background that people can play music on
      • for input: text like bezelea bells? midi URL download? turtle programming moves on a grid?
  • Spawn emotes (like in sky or like in the old overlay)
  • Attendance redeems
  • Let the audience control the camera placement
  • Let audience spawn some kind of temporary item into the scene
  • Pun counter
• Camera controls
• No annoying stuff/things I don’t like
  • Throwables are annoying
  • Soundboards are annoying
  • Don’t feel comfortable with headpats redeem
  • No skinner box games
• Want to find a way to use bits
• SAMMI-style chat/guests voice chat popup
• (high effort) For coworking streams, have a global task list that people can add, modify, and check off their own tasks in. Maybe add a way for people to submit the work they did for review on stream.
  • Add a scene where you can see everyone who is currently working
  • Let people define their own avatars
• Add a place to show currently playing music

Talking about the virtual environment now

• For style, I want my vtuber avatar to wear “cyber wear/tech wear”, so it seems we are probably going to go for a cyberpunk aesthetic
  • Hiroto Ikeuchi
• I want the weather to be stormy, because I like storms. I want this kind of window in the background https://www.tumblr.com/someday-dreamlands/733251282970804224?source=share
• Fanart wall?
• Add a glass dry erase board that I can draw on when explaining things, use IK to move the hand around?
