An interactive stream overlay for a word game show



# BFGStream

As promised to a tenacious viewer, here's the Unity project for my weekly stream. It's meant as a sample for how to tackle various issues that might arise if you want to make a custom interactive stream overlay. Some of the stuff it does:
* Renders for full-alpha transparency in OBS (use "Game Capture" in OBS and check the transparency box)
* Takes viewer submissions via a bot
* Handles follow, subscription, and cheer events
* Handles channel point reward events to in-game effect

**IMPORTANT:** Before you can run this project, you have to make your own "Assets/StreamingAssets/config.ini" file that provides all the Twitch OAuth keys for the bot account and user account that it uses, plus a Twitch API application ID, plus information about who to treat as hosts. Use the config_example.ini file in that directory to guide you.

I'll probably be adding new features for a while to come. There's plenty of janky stuff going on, so imitate at your own peril... but I do suggest you tune in and watch! It's every Tuesday from 8 PM to 11 PM Eastern. [My Twitch channel is here,](https://www.twitch.tv/thquinn) and all the recorded streams are on [my YouTube channel here.](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrM20yT-tpKCXglkVMI58Ha_ZRYU8uC0B)
