Hello everyone,
today I would like to talk to you about a feature that could bring alot of attention to STK, if STK would be able to interact with the interactive streaming service of Beam.pro.
Imagine you are playing STK with your friends at home and at the same time streaming your game at Beam.pro in an interactive mode, wouldn't be nice to give an opportunity to all your viewers to interact in your game while you are playing ?
Let's say to give the viewers the chance to make power ups or bananas appear in your game live while you are playing. It creates another difficulty in the game and makes it more interesting for all the viewers to be able to participate in the game.
Well it's possible to make the STK game interact with Beam.pro by coding a very basic interface, details here ( https://dev.beam.pro/reference/interactive/index.html )
there are already games who do that for example Minecraft ( where viewers can make appear power ups or downs in the game while the player is playing )
recording of such a stream: https://beam.pro/impulseSV?vod=1123961
It's a new form of free publicity for the game and it makes it more attractive to new players, as they can interact with the game by seeing others play and be able in a form to be part of that play.
I spoke with hiker on the IRC and he mention the idea interesting but with all that is going on now he has no time to code it, so is there someone with enough interest and knowledge to be able to code this piece of interface ?
what do you think ?
