My experience with twitch and what lead me into bot creation

Hello everyone, dradon is there!

Today I'll talk about my experience on twitch. So yeah, twitch is a wonderful gaming platform were people can stream and interact with people without problem, or is it really without problem? Here is some problem I quicly found after 1 month of streaming:

- If you have 1 monitor, it's really hard to interact with people (But well, I integrated a workaround the bot ^^)
- Command from bot like Nightbot are tied to everything exept follower and donator (wich again, I made a work around for that)
- It's really hard to get known since the big streamer alway shadow the smaller one (and this is a problem for new streamer, including me)

So how I did fix the first 2 problem? Well solution wasn't hard, Twitch support 3 programmation language :

- Java
- Python
- Javascript

I used java to make a bot wich actually do more than any regular bot out there, it's also a screen overlay that get message and show it in-game, here is a preview of of it look :

So yeah, what you see here is a screen overlay and not a dumb OBS overlay that make the illusion to see the chat in-game. It wasn't hard to implement, but it required some time since I had 0 knowledge on how work twitch bot. Now this bring me to the second point : What I did to change the role system?

So first thing I'll say on that, the system I made is still in developpement and have some bug. So since nightbot doesn't allow follower to directly do !songrequest, I changed the songrequest to be a mod only thing. You may ask why? Well, the bot is a mod and will actually do the songrequest for you, sadly to be able to request a song you must follow... Well, you must follow to use any basic command actually

Tough there is still 1 problem wich I can't get trough... How do you advertize without getting hate? Without doing cancer thing on other page? This is the problem for all new streamer, like me ^^

So yeah, this was a long blog entry (at least for me), but it's all I wanna say for now about my twitch experience. If you wanna visit my channel, I'll leave the link here.

Thanks for reading and feedback are appreciated ^^

Neat stuff. I'm lazy though, and just use StreamLabs for chat and notifications and play the game off the OBS preview so I can see chat while I play lol
 
as someone who isn't into streaming and never used OBS, what do you mean with "dumb OBS overlay that make the illusion to see the chat in-game."
 
Basically, with OBS you can have overlay that make the illusion to the viewer you see certain stuff like new follower or any notif (or the chat). Some person play the trough OBS or other use a second monitor to fix that and see what people say. That's the thing I wanted to resolve, play the game without being limited or without spending money.
