Baldurs Gate 3, Cult of the Lamb, Disco Elysium, League of Legends — what do all of these games have in common? They were all wildly successful on Twitch, partly thanks to their Twitch integrations. In this talk, Thomas, the creator of these integrations, will talk about how he worked with these game's developers to create a memorable and interactive experience for their viewers. He will walk you through Twitch integration basics, Dos and Don'ts, as well as a couple of case studies.
Takeaway
Attendees will gain a high-level understanding of Twitch integrations, and how they can make your game more popular on Twitch. Thanks to the case studies in the talk (Baldur's Gate 3, Cult of the Lamb and others), attendees will see examples of real-world integration features that work well.
Intended Audience
Anyone in the gaming industry who is interested in making their game stand out on livestreaming platforms can benefit from this talk. Prior knowledge is not necessary (although knowing about Twitch helps) -- every topic and concept is explained on a high level that anyone will be able to understand.
