So, as many of you know, I've been streaming some game with commentary. There are a few issues to start with, namely finding a stream quality that works good for all. I realize that many of you don't have the best internet connections, and I've been streaming at 1080p @ 60fps, and that likely isn't ideal, so trying to strike a balance between stream quality and smooth playback without buffering, I've been getting help from Lex and Senator on this. My main goal with these streams is to increase interest in WA, my macbook couldn't stream well at all, so I built this PC with the goal in mind of doing that. Hopefully, if I can pick up some people off of twitch that either haven't played in awhile, or are first time players.
I'd like to filter people in to TUS as well as I can, and am going to set up a splash page for TUS on my stream to direct people here as well as possible, as well as hopefully making some youtube videos as well.
I'm hoping people can help out by doing one of a few things:
1. A wormer to help make a few simple graphics for the channel, namely a 16:9 aspect graphic, should have the TUS logo/design whatever, with a clear URL directing people to go to the website. More might be needed, but that is all I know of for now.
2. Wormers willing to commentate on the streams I do, namely playoffs, cup finals, tournament finals, ect. Please let me know if you want to come on and call a worms game with me, Peja has already done so, and Sbaffo has shown interest, so the more the merrier.
3. Feedback on what content you guys think would attract the most casual viewers, I made this channel to be OUR twitch channel, I want your guys input on what you want to see as well as how we can attract newcomers.
4. Ultimately, I would like it if I wasn't the only one streaming, it would be nice for there to be a compilation by several different wormers streaming on this channel. I envision giving out the stream key to stream to the channel to a few trusted wormers.
5. Your support, from what I understand twitch operates on how much traffic the channel gets, and by that measure, what gets exposure on the website. You you guys could take a minute out of your day and sign up on twitch, or if you have an existing username, follow the channel here by clicking the little heart under the video window: https://www.twitch.tv/wormsstream17

Sounds good mate, followed :)
-
I can comment any time, just send me a Pm here, I have a ts3 server too with good ping, in case it's of any use
One thing though, the other day, Lukz vs sbaffo playoffs, there were 3-5 second lag stops every minute or so, it was really unbearable thinking long term. I made a reddit post too and it was getting constant up votes, however, and out of shame, the moment Lukz started acting like an idiot I deleted the post.
Worms doesn't need much of anything to stream, are your OB settings low enough? what is your upload?
-
This is such a nice work, thank youfor the time and the effort you're investing on it :) . Btw during my PO streaming i couldn't hear peja well, is it because of his microphone or has it to do with your pc/streaming settings? You should try fix that.
-
i'm pretty sure it was just peja using a shitty microphone

I need to downgrade my settings so others can get it, goom and saltyk9 tuned into the stream, said it was smooth for them, but thats USA, and the twitch server is in USA.
OBS is currently at:
3500 bitrate
1080p
50fps
So pretty much max settings, I have to dial it back for next time so everyone can buffer it well, its a work in progress.
I get 25 mb upload

Peja doesn't have a real microphone, so it was hard, he was just talking into his old laptop so sound quality is dogshit. I could barely hear him as well.

It's just about time when newcomers sign up and look all that drama and fade away again. j/k. :D
Serious now, gl with this project, I hope this grab some fresh blood to the community. :) :)

Yeah, once I get settled into a new house with a good connection i'll be streaming also, would be nice to have a balance of streams from around the world.
Until then, I could commentate with you at weekends mate, if it goes well i'll start using my professional mic as well :)
Also, if you are doing a YouTube channel, I can do some DnB/Dubstep game themed/chiptune music for you, I just finished a song for these award winning Norwegian YouTubers i'm just waiting on them making an official video for it before releasing, the stuff I do is totally spot on now will send you a link in private if you want a taster?

Watched Sbaffo vs Lukz VOD yesterday. Fantastic commentary! Followed :)

Awesome komo, youtube automatically deletes your video if you have some recognizable music, so something original would be great and much appreciated.
Send me a sample and I can decide whether to go with your music or toxics lmao ;D

-

Yo man, what about Discord? It's a communicator. Click dat signature :P
Also, does that mean that vanmageddon is dead?
Anyway, aside from competition-related stuff:
1. A wormer to help make a few simple graphics for the channel, namely a 16:9 aspect graphic, should have the TUS logo/design whatever, with a clear URL directing people to go to the website. More might be needed, but that is all I know of for now.

Here's a map I quickly put together in multiple themes, may not be the best, but that's simply my attempt on it.
2. Wormers willing to commentate on the streams I do, namely playoffs, cup finals, tournament finals, ect. Please let me know if you want to come on and call a worms game with me, Peja has already done so, and Sbaffo has shown interest, so the more the merrier.
I am also willing to show interest
3. Feedback on what content you guys think would attract the most casual viewers, I made this channel to be OUR twitch channel, I want your guys input on what you want to see as well as how we can attract newcomers.
To attract casual viewers? That's a good question
Aside from inviting YouTubers, I think it will be also a good idea to:
1. Commentate Worm Olympics (that's up to you)
2. Stream not only TUS Leagues
3. RubberWorm schemes?
4. Introduce people to new schemes
5. Play Default or Full Wormage more frequently?
4. Ultimately, I would like it if I wasn't the only one streaming, it would be nice for there to be a compilation by several different wormers streaming on this channel. I envision giving out the stream key to stream to the channel to a few trusted wormers.
I don't have the hardware do to it.

Hi everyone, mastypop here.
I will start streaming soon. Going to play Worms W.M.D at release date and will probably be the first decent roper to stream it. As for W:A I think I will stream league/cup matches and possibly challenges.
Follow me at https://www.twitch.tv/kekkity (https://www.twitch.tv/kekkity) if you want.
followed, nice to see other people streaming worms as well
-
Good to see people getting some work done in promotion of this old game :)
If I happen to be online (you know where to find me, wally!), I'd be happy to co-commentate as much as my comment is worth something, being so bloody inactive and all. I'll probably be commentating for the CWT streams again if they'll have me
