Livestream?
« on: July 07, 2014, 09:20:14 pm »

Does anyone livestream playing DF, like twitch.tv sorts of stuff? (I have no idea if you could get twitch.tv to do DF, I've only ever been an end viewer on the thing... and that not often.) It might be an alternative way to post succession games, an entertaining way for people to check out the new release who aren't up for dealing with all the bugs, and an alternative to YouTube tutorials to introduce newcomers to how the game's actually played. (Heck, if it allows newcomers to ask questions *while the game is being played*, it could be the single most effective DF teaching tool yet...) Anybody, anybody? Or is this going to have to go on my list of "stupid dwarfy things I probably shouldn't do but kinda want to just because"?

I have an idea. Let's play a game where you win by being as quiet as possible.
I get it, it's one of those games where losing is fun!

Sorry for the relatively late reply, but I didn't want to make an entire thread for this as it seems kind of... meh. I occasionally livestream DF over at this place, always with the new version, just because of the higher chance of things exploding everywhere. I also savescum a bunch. Just, if you're going to watch, don't expect good video quality and occasional stream drops due to very good internet connections.

I'm actually livestreaming adventure mode right now. The fun thing is that everyone can enter commands.
