Hello everyone, I guess I'll post a little bit on what's going on and what's the goal of Chat Village.
As a previously quite active twitch streamer I was always fascinated by games that let you interact with your chat, however I always felt that simply providing your community an abillity to vote on polls to spawn something or activate a buff for the streamer are lacking that connection. For this very reason (and because I was bored and thinking about what to do for my main project) I decided to play around with twitch integration idea and try to give the streamer's community as much freedom as I can, while limiting streamer's abillities, forcing anyone who decides to play the game to work in unison with their viewers.
That's how Chat Village, a small sideproject of mine was born:
"First day in". 07.17.2022. Chatters can enter the game by typing any message in streamer's chat. They are provided their character that they can level up by simply chatting.
"Second day in". 07.18.2022. Chatters have a few animations and an yet untextured appearance that they'll be later able to customize by completing different tasks. On a second day they already can use a few commands such as :#attack (to attack another viewer) ,#stopattack (to stop attacking anyone),#wood (to gather wood for streamer, which also gives them exp per one point of aquired wood). They can also use #bunt to simply stand and wave a sign to show their disapproval of something that streamer does or says.
So yeah. I'm not good at devlogs, but if anyone sees this and have any questions or suggestions - let me know.
