Is Streaming Impacting Game Design? (Part 1) // The Inner Gamer ON
In this episode, we explore the massive growth of the streaming industry. Twitch, Mixer and even YouTube Live are blowing up with streamers and content creators making a living playing games and commentating on their experiences with their audience.
We're starting to see how developers are adjusting their game's design to consider their game being part of an audience rather than just a solo experience with a single player or group.
How will we see this shift affect future games? With games like SOS literally basing game mechanics around an audience like a reality show, what types of ideas can be implemented to make it exciting not just for the player, but for the viewer as well?
Part 1: SOS - The Social Survival Game
Part 2: Games Built with Streaming in Mind
