Twins gaming

[wet flare]

Im just making this thread so it has better chances of reaching Vedal. Any updates about this little piece of info we got 3 months ago on dev stream?

• improved game api support for twins together
  Since then there were a few twin streams, but
• camping stream was mostly 2 chillstreams in one, twin minecraft was just Evil calling Neuro on her chillstream, karaoke was ok but as name suggests, most of the content was singing LULE, and the only one proper twin stream was rap battle ( that was so scuffed it became good )
  im wondering if there is any progress if it comes to twins playing games together/against each other.
  Is it possible for a twin stream where they can both play minecraft at a same time, or play something like buckshot roulette? Or if it cant be done, maybe something like TABS, where you, Vedal, would ask them for decisions what armies to place so they could fight each other?
  ( or do any stream with twins at all, if gaming cant be done in any way, they can yap with each other in a cave )

Personally I think Vedal will update us when its finished on a future dev stream as its pretty much a tech leap instead of a small improvement. (It's jumping from single to multiplayer hookup on the API) And as usual I think he won't give us a "it will be done by X day" because he doesn't know when he'll figure it out.

Funny thing with programming is something you think can be easy can turn out to be hard and vice-versa so it could be soon could be later just don't count the days it could be at anytime.

I think this is more about mod side than devals

Vedals

Vedal said himself that they already could theoretically play Minecraft together way back when they did that stream. He just didn't want to do it cause they would go in random directions.

Now if Minecraft was possible way before he apparently improved the game API for them together, then why would all the other simpler games not be after those improvements?

By looking at how his current implementation works I can take a guess that the issue probably is that the twins will take ages to do actions because of the fact that whenever they play games, they seem to be unable to do anything until the TTS stops talking. So two of them will just increase that time even more and Vedal probably thinks that this isn't good enough content for his high quality channel

But then it would be nice to get an answer as for why was that even put into the patch notes if it still doesn't work in a way that he would be comfortable with streaming it, even after the improvements.

^ this
I couldnt have said it better myself

Not all games have an API

[azure fox]

Ok? Not sure what does that have to do with what I wrote.

[proud flume]

I don't think anyone has modified a good game that can be played by them simultaneously, but there are probably other reasons as well.

Chess and Buckshot Roulette are right there. We already even had them play against each other in the past in chess.

[proud flume]

Classic mid chess Buckshot Roulette is cool but he’d have to run both games on his PC and choose whether to stream one in full screen or show both in smaller windows.

But don't worry someone is cooking Plateup and Vedal already knows that

[azure fox]

I don't see how showing Buckshot on stream is any issue? You see all the players on one screen. Did I misunderstand you or something?

[proud flume]

Yeah I see from only one perspective

It’s just that I prefer to see them playing in a cooperative mode

[haughty shard]

he's essentially saying you'd only see one perspective and to him it would be preferable if we got to see both twins pov, which technically would be possible through some split screen method
