Hey everyone,
With the latest Early Access update to our choice-driven strategy game "The Fermi Paradox" it is possible for streamers to connect the game to their Twitch channel and let their viewers vote on the story decisions of the game.
How to do this? First enter the settings menu in the title screen or in the ingame menu and check the checkbox with the name Twitch Connection.
Then you have to enter the OAuth Password and your Twitch Username. To generate the password press the Button Get OAuth
The event timer determines how long your twitch viewers can vote on an ingame choice. If you want them to vote on every choice select Twitch Chat in Autoplay Events otherwise you will have the possibility to trigger the twitch chat vote manually.
Now you can start the game. If you put in the correct password and username you will see in the lower left corner above the version number the text Twitch Enabled with your channel name.
When you reach any of the event decisions in the game you have now the possibility to let your viewers vote on the outcome of the event.
To do that press the Twitch Choice button in the lower left corner to give the choice to the chat. And now the chat gets notified that they can use these commands to vote on a choice.
!vote 1 for the top choice
!vote 2 for the middle choice
!vote 3 for the bottom choice
After the timer is finished the vote with the maximum choices is chosen. In a draw, the top choice will always be chosen.
If you activate the Twitch Chat option in Autoplay Events then every choice will be given to the chat automatically. If you additionally choose the Random option in Autoplay Flares then the game will play itself without your assistance. Your audience can now play a simple version of Twitch plays The Fermi Paradox.
Please share your experiences with the voting mechanics and improvements you would like us to add to the Twitch integration.
Thank you and see you up in the stars, voyager.
