Considering New Hobby - Streaming
a year ago
General
Hello everyone!
For as long as I can remember, I have considered getting into livestreaming and streaming some single-player and multiplayer content. I'm not considering going into full-time or even part time content creation as I do have plenty of real life commitments, including a full-time job. So this is more or less a dive into a once-a-week hobby that I would like to experiment with and go from there. I'm not looking for huge success (though any supplemental support, bits, etc. would be very much appreciated), but something to enjoy either with the community or with my friends in general.
I know I have the basic means to do streaming - a stable internet, a powerful machine, basic streaming equipment, and a general set up on Twitch, which you can find here: https://www.twitch.tv/studthekangaroo
Right now, I am looking in the future at a Sunday Afternoon schedule, from 12:00pm-3:00pm CDT on Twitch. As for what will be streamed? Well, I have quite the backlog of games that I've bought or got as gifts, but have not played yet. This includes the following:
-Metroid Prime Remastered (Leaning on this as my Debut Title)
-God of War: Ragnarok
-Super Mario 3D All-Stars (Contains Super Mario 64, Sunshine, and Galaxy 1)
-Tales of Arise
-Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (Switch Remaster)
The list goes on; there are plenty of games in my Steam Library that I've had quite a bit of interest in but have not played yet due to storage limitations, and I have considered getting back into Minecraft, which I have not played in a dog's age, with friends. So there won't be a shortage of "fresh" content, even old content, that I can play and give my unfiltered, fresh take and reactions on select games, even those I've seen others do. Granted, watching someone play something is very much different from experiencing that game for yourself.
At the moment, I am looking into some options for how to create even just a basic 2D avatar that can interact with my face, a general stream layout, bits/notification setups, so on and so forth. If this turns into a good endeavor that I can enjoy doing on the side, I will consider adding more games to my library, other add ons, so on and so forth.
For now, I'm just in an experimental/exploratory stage to see what happens. As such, I will consider starting some of my social media profiles from scratch to give myself a cleaner slate to start with, or relegate that to "After Dark" accounts. Although I know for a fact that much of my audience will likely be limited to 18 and older. Any advice, pointers, etc., for how I can get off the ground and be successful even in this small "hobby" endeavor would be much appreciated.
Thanks for taking time to hear me out and I look forward to hearing more from you!
