## 1. Idea and Use Case
The idea for this plugin came while watching the development stream from a fellow Twitch streamer called [Wheeze202](https://www.twitch.tv/wheeze202). He provides his Twitch subscribers early development builds of his current project [Galdur](https://galdurgame.com/) to playtest and give him feedback on. His infrastructure was simple, he simply whispered the link to the build when a subscriber entered a command in the Twitch chat.
I saw some flaws in this approach, because now you had to rely on the subscriber to keep the link a secret. I though there must be a better way. So, I set out to build this plugin to let any Twitch game developer have the ability to let potential subscriber play testers authenticate in-game. Now only subscribers to your channel can play the game.
> **NOTICE:** There is a huge update planned that utilizes UE4 sub-systems for improved user experience, additional platforms will be added aswell ([Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/5fingergames), [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzdtkrH5yhKay8JM6D7qMxA)). Let me know what platform you want that I did not already mention.
### The plugin is available for **$4.99** on the **UE4 Marketplace**, please consider purchasing there to support further development of the plugin.
## 2. Installation
To install the plugin simply download it over the [Unreal Engine Marketplace](https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace). Click [here](https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/twitch-auth) to download.
**The alternative:**
Download the plugin via the releases tab, unzip the archive and drop the unzipped folder into either a local plugins folder on your project. If your project is a blueprint only project simply add a dummy C++ class to you project to create the plugins folder.
Or install it engine wide in the ``/Engine/Plugins``. If you didn't change the installation directory of your UE4 installation the folder should be under ``C:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_4.\Engine\Plugins``.
> **NOTE:** A detailed guide for both manual installation types can be found in the [wiki](https://github.com/mrbandler/TwitchAuth/wiki).
