Just thought I'd mention that I was streaming a playthrough of Game Dev Tycoon this past weekend on my Twitch channel and had a pretty good time - despite being ill the whole weekend - because of the unexpected attention my feed got. I stayed up a bit too late, and I think it prolonged my cold because I didn't get enough rest. However, I stayed on because of the number of folks viewing and interacting on chat. For some reason I ended up having an average of about 50-70 viewers at any given time; my peek was somewhere around 120-ish. I was told this was something of an anomaly, especially since it was only my second time broadcasting (though, I contribute it to the game, and being only 1 of 2 streaming it). People kept asking if it was a "Free-to-Play" game - it's not - and where they could get it. They also wondered if I had a mic (I do, but am not comfortable doing voice streams just yet). Mostly people were just interacting and giving suggestions on play-style and giving tips (some had played it before, apparently) when I was indecisive. Honestly, I was very pleased and surprised to find so many people watching me play a very casual game, which was wholly unexpected. Anyhow, I just thought I'd share that experience, because my streaming is due in part to this community's event a few weeks back. Overall, it got me thinking about doing it as a semi-regular thing, on my own, on the weekends - and possibly putting my videos on YouTube. |

Please don't take this wrong but do you think your username might pushed you to the top somehow? 13 comes first, and even a search term of "general" would bring you to the fore lol? An advantage to be sure  and a useful one! |

Just time to realize in 3 min, how boring was the whole atmosfear of the game, sparing me precious time. Good, thanks.  |
