Dungeons 2

I missed your Twitch stream, but saw this game on Steam today while I was looking at simulation games. The price tag is still too high for me (Steam ruined me and now I can't buy anything until it's at most £15) but it looked good. I'm a fan of the original Dungeon Keeper but haven't played the sequel or the mobile version. How is it?

Ok, thanks. The games looks interesting, I'll almost definitely pick it up when the price has come down.

To give some feedback on your streams, since I know you take this stuff seriously:

- Your archives are a little hard to navigate, since all the broadcasts are called "Spider Machine". Is this just how Twitch works? It would be helpful to be able to identify what games you're playing in each one, other than through the preview image.

- You could use a better mic (or maybe it needs moving or reconfiguring?). The commentary sounds distant and echoy, and has a background hum like the volume is turned up way too loud. We don't get any of the sounds of the game through the stream. I don't know if it's possible to have both game sounds and commentary, as I don't watch enough of these types of thing to know how they're normally done. When you're not speaking the stream is near-silence, other than the background noise. The commentary itself is sometimes slightly hard to make out. I really like hearing the player chat about what they're doing, what they think of the game, why they bought it, etc. I think a good commentary must be what makes some streams stand out over others.

- I would suggest either repositioning the webcam or getting rid of the camera feed. Camera feeds of the players face can definitely add something to make the stream more personal, but a lot of the time when people are gaming they're just staring expressionlessly at the screen. The current position of the camera is angled so it's mainly looking down at you, and is perhaps a little too close. I think you should either reposition the camera to a more flattering angle and play in a more chatty, animated way (if that's your style) or remove the feed altogether.

Take this all with a pinch of salt if you want, as I rarely watch this kind of thing. I have to say though, there's something quite appealing about the idea. I'd be very happy to tune into someone doing a stream with commentary of a game I was interested in.

Also, thanks for telling me that the ingame sound was blocked. I didn't even notice OBS didn't activate it as a source of sound.

You're exactly right. That's why I'm planning to buy one when I'm able to (I needed a new HDD this month, so that was a no go).

I think my disability pension is enough, though? And for Kickstarter you need an audience. And if I had an audience, I wouldn't have problems in the first place.

But I don't need any. I need an audience, not a Kickstarter.

I also said my pension will be enough. And I'm not good with Kickstarter because I'm Russian.
