I sincerely enjoy streaming art and games - though, on the game side of things, what I stream is a bit randomized. I stream a lot of Pokemon hacks, and I've also done some Final Fantasy. I mostly stream games that I think I can get the viewers involved in, by doing things like asking for name suggestions for units, or having them help me decide on factors like ability leveling.

Which brings me to one of my lowkey goals as a creator. I want to, and have wanted to, build a community of like-minded people around me, my art, and my hobbies. This means I primarily cater to furries, particularly those who enjoy adorable and occasionally kinky things. I've been trying to find things to do with people, and so far, streaming has been my primary success, with my more active nights having, on rare occasion, gotten up to around 7 viewers.

However, the majority of nights, I have a single person who views my streams - one of my best friends, Matti. Most nights, my notices about streaming seem to go unnoticed, with one or two friends poking in every few hours or so. I understand that this is to be expected, but I've been wondering if there is more I can do to get people interested in hanging out.

I've considered drawing an ad or two for my streams to put up here on my fA. Additionally, my art streams seem a little more popular than my game streams, which I understand - I didn't really enjoy watching people play games when I was little. Perhaps if I drew more people would be more interested. Or maybe I just need to schedule my streams? Right now, I just do them whenever I feel like it, and while I do love that level of freedom, it's possible that the lack of a schedule is making keeping up with me awkward.

Thoughts?
