***** It, I'm Going Live On Twitch For The Good Of The Game

[Claeyt]

The Game needs advertising

Hell no. All it will accomplish is turn away potential players, who will quit because the game is so woefully incomplete and never give it a second chance. Wait for the devs to sort out gluttony, purity and raiding before you try to raise publicity.

Agreed. Short-sighted bursts of players do nothing for the game and inevitably cause lasting, if not permanent, damage in the long run.

If not now then when. Just tell them it's beta when they ask. Beta testing is fun and makes you feel like you got in before everyone else found it. We neeeeeed more players to keep this game alive. I'm not turning away anybody, I'm just going to keep telling them that it's beta and that there's going to be changes to the gluttony/food system.

I just started experimenting with livestreaming, will see if i keep doing it or not

Why didn't you say so when I was pushing Chief to live stream. Your ****'s a lot more interesting than me wandering around with a mapper. You're using OBS i'm assuming. I like how you can block out parts of your screen for maps and kin.

Today we learned how to get KO-ed by a snake

Cant wait to see more

You try wandering around with no map or radar in the Woodlands and see how far you get before you step on a snake.

It was fun though. I'm taking Binks advice and switching to OBS from Xsplit. Thanks Binks for the suggestion. I'll try and get it hooked up like Alloin's and get a mike this weekend.

I just read about your idea & I just started playing again from yesterday.

I'm using XSplit, but having problems redirecting only the gamesound & my mic to the stream, ventrillo & itunes/youtube/spotify echoes all the time

I try to turn everyone new to the game away.

I noticed.

Because it's in such a ****** state and, I'm talking about real life friends and family. I used to try to get them to play the game, but now I turn them all away from it.

Edit: Claeyt let me know how the OBS thing goes. I don't think it's going to work out very well. I tried messing with it today and it disagree's with Salem. I've used this software before with out games and it ran perfectly. However I had some problems with it. I didn't mess around with it for very long because I just didn't have time.

There is an old russian proverb:

Question: Who is worse than an idiot? --- Answer: An idiot with initiative...

I want to personally say my Twitch live play was **** and you should all go over to Alloin's channel and watch his live play saved video.

http://www.twitch.tv/alloin/b/462720483?t=302m58s

(Watch the local Fruit Pie Merchant threaten McShips for supporting the gypsy musicians 53:30, Watch Em argue with a nakid guy for hours 59:30, Watch the Queen go on the hunt around 3:43, Watch the Criminal found and brought to justice around 5:00, He even helps a local noob up off the ground and gives him his stuff back around 5:14, Finally he travels to Plymouth to speak the truth around 5:22:40)

It was amazingly fun filled with Justice, Laughs, Noob KO saves, and tons of cave dwelling study binges in the Treasure Hoard of the Candy Gang. I'm going to point any noobs to it as lesson 101 on how to play Salem and what's possible in this game if they work really, really hard at it. I hope he continues doing them for the good of the game. Honestly, it was better, more entertaining, more informative on what's possible in Salem than any of the live plays by Jorb and Loftar....and his don't even have any sound yet.

Pras Alloin aka The Candy Queen, it's good to have you back.

Edit: Claeyt let me know how the OBS thing goes. I don't think it's going to work out very well. I tried messing with it today and it disagree's with Salem. I've used this software before with out games and it ran perfectly. However I had some problems with it. I didn't mess around with it for very long because I just didn't have time.

I downloaded OBS and I think it's probably better than Xsplit. Xsplit handles the game better, but you can change more in OBS it seems. I'm going to play around with OBS before I stream again.

As for the sound, I don't know. I was getting that same echo effect with the game. I'm wondering if it has to do with watching the live play while also recording it. You should have someone watch the live play for you while you have twitch off maybe and see if just running the game and Xsplit makes the echo effect. If it does then we probably need to use the game mode rather than the window mode to stream. Or separate the stream sound from the incoming sound somehow in Xsplit or OBS. If it doesn't then you'd probably have to just turn off your incoming sound from Twitch or run Twitch on a separate system. Most people use 2 monitors and systems in Twitch and there are more sound options in OBS. I'm new to all of this so if someone has more experience with this out there please feel free to chip in your info here to help us out.

I erased my saved stream because I accidentally showed a noob camp with the mini-map. I ran about 5 test runs which I erased as well. I like Alloin's blockage of the map and kin list. I'm going to tweak mine to something similar hopefully. It's too hard playing without the map. I probably won't stream tonight until I figure out OBS



The gauntlet has been dropped Chief. I'd love to watch your live streams. I think they'd be entertaining to say the least.

[Dallane]

what a great way to show the general public how terrible the game is and how little content there is.

***** It, I'm going live. I'm sick of waiting for the Chief, Darwoth, or the Candy Gang or anybody else who doesn't have to worry about being hunted while playing. The Game needs advertising and I'll man up if they won't.

I'll start at some point between 6pm and 10pm CST, USA every night except Saturday and go until I want to do some work at my towns. I'll hopefully get a cordless mike at some point this weekend and plug it in for next week. I'll live chat and answer any and all questions for all noobs who want to check it out along the way. I'll mostly be working with my explorers and my mappers until I feel comfortable using any of my main guys. All of these will be 5/5/5/5 alts.

This is completely new to me but I have a friend who does some Twitch broadcasting and it looks like fun. If anybody spots any personal info on the Twitch channel screen please contact me either here or there so I can remove it.. Griefers and Trolls will be ignored. Funny and creative Griefers and Trolls will get a chuckle. All racist, homophobic, and super duper sexist ***** will be banned from my chat.

Profile and Channel can be found under the username : 'oldbookheaven' and my username will be Claeyt. All videos will be titled 'Salem' with the date recorded.

I'll be doing a test run right now on 9/17 at 4:15am CST

Again no mike until Saturday probably so keep any questions short in the chat.

Have mercy on me, I'm new at this *****.

i Woulda always stick on alt , since this game is perm death , i would't even risk main , unless you really dont care to restart your main ..but that me.

[TeckXKnight]

If not now then when.

When there have been major updates that increase the player retention rate.

[Tomki]

I think this is a great idea to promote the game. It really doesn't hurt to get more people to play it.

Just mute the stream if your watching it at the same time your streaming. It will stop the looped echo.
