No, I think a blank overlay with just the game and (optional) stream art + webcam are perfectly fine. My question is though, does this actually upset people? Like would you rather see yourself under recent. Doesn't need to be anything fancy, but those things seem to make a stream seem a lot more polished imo. No matter what though, I would recommend a simple webcam frame and simple BRB/starting soon/ending soon scenes. I use an overlay set from etsy and I've definitely gotten positive feedback for it - I wouldn't say it helped me grow or retain viewers, but it can be a nice starting point for a conversation! That being said, I am more of an "aesthetic" kind of person so it works with the vibe I am going for, if people were tuning in for hardcore gameplay I can see how it would be a turnoff. Depends on the game I am playing though if I have that up. I also have a goal counter that sometimes I have up, it's super simple, just a monthly counter of how many new followers/subs I got. I have other things going on, I have a face cam and a cat cam with matching boarders and I'll have relevant information about the game I am playing (like I have a encounter counter when I am shiny hunting, or I will put up the sprites of the pokemon on my team if I am playing pokemon). I stream for a hobby so not getting constant donations does not bother me, but it felt weird having the same dono up a week later ya know? I haven't had any negative feedback after removing it. Honestly I removed my "last dono", "last follower" etc ones from all my scenes except my just chatting screen because I felt that they took up quite a bit of space and I felt awkward always having them up. You could also just have a 150 pt redeem for "switch fullscreen/overlay" Having overlays and making the game less than fullscreen means you don't need to worry quite so much about covering information up, and you don't need to move between games. Then you bounce to Stardew and there's only one corner that can't be covered up. This is probably not important, but some viewers will want to see all the stuff around.įor instance, on Crusader Kings and Spellcaster University (both games I have streamed, and did a lot when I started), both sides of the screen will have important information at different times, so you can't easily pop a webcam in the corner (although you could probably Lioranboard a redeem for "send me to another corner". Having a fullscreen game is great for detail, but it also means that anything you put on screen (webcam, chat, redeems from chat, etc) will cover up part of the gameplay for your viewers. One of the things I noticed just before and as I started streaming, was how bad some people are at covering up parts of the screen. Thanks to /u/iTruthful and Conceptional for the art!
