Chill stream duration and game integrations

[jade dome]

We are (somewhat) getting more content for chill streams little by little and it is becoming difficult to give time for some content types. Especially for game integrations even though there is only two working integrations right now, they are hardly ever getting used (it has been a month since the last don't starve gameplay please vedal).

The reason I started to take interest in this channel was to see what kind of impressive things twins would be capable of in the future and I believe game integrations has a lot of potential for that. So it sucks to see they are mostly underutilized and neglected.

I know vedal doesn't want to recycle or overuse content much but this is a big obstacle especially for the integrations since in their early days they suffer from a lot of bugs and need frequent testing for bugfix. And if they are gonna get used once a month we are just not gonna see twins ever "improve" in the game and the integration will be abandoned like many others because it got used for a long time.

I'm assuming in the future we will get more chill stream integrations as slay the spire 2 integration is already in the works and maybe vedal will uphold his promise on making twins better at games at some point. Thus, I think it would be worth it to increase the chill stream time to 3 hours at some point to give more spotlight to content at hand.

yeah I would prefer to see actual games instead of the same wordle/connections integration over and over

idk maybe vedal is tired of the "ragebait" comments or something

[jade dome]

I also assumed maybe he put most of the integrations on hold until he gets around to improve the gaming integration system
This was also one of the reasons for me to make this discussion post (assuming vedal will reply )

well the sts2 integration post was also a general hiring post so maybe he's looking to pay people to make more involved integrations, although this moreso about seeing them in chill streams and not ones that need vedal involved

[feral creek]

Alternatively, Vedal can just do dedicated gaming streams to test games that need more observation

Although, I’m not so sure on whether or not people would like this

The commissioned integrations and potential “bounty board” idea is cool, seeing as we’ll be able to see more games on stream. However, I’m a little more concerned as to whether or not they’ll actually be good at them, or have the capability to learn from mistakes, seeing as the twins’ gameplay sucks

[turbid radish]

the don't starve mod dev stopped developing it

[grave crown]

I mean, it's all open source right? someone else could pick it up

[jade dome]

I know that but it should still work to some extent

[grave crown]

I suppose it's not a priority if that's the case though

[jade dome]

"twins getting better at games" update can't come soon enough

[wintry geyser]

honestly the better gaming update should come before integration bounty board

[wintry geyser]

sts2 integration wasn't a general hiring post, afaict it was a commissioning post

[grave crown]

maybe I misread it then cuz that's what it seemed to sound like

[feral creek]

I agree honestly. I’d like to see the twins gain at least some achievement at consistently beating the games they currently have rather than introducing new ones they can never beat

[wintry geyser]

they said that they are wanting to do more commissioned mods in the future, but that was said after the form closed

[grave crown]

oh ok that's what I must have seen

[wintry geyser]

the form's original intent was for private commission of an sts2 integration

[grave crown]

I mean just reword what I said then, vedal is willing to ask for more and pay for them in the future
