The Twitch game is a tough one, every bit of support helps. That’s why we’ve added an on-screen incentive to encourage bit donations: to help grow our favorite water creature.

The Pogfish grows with bits and subs, and can become a massive, towering circuit bully.

We've introduced a texture map to control the flow of the water. Through the Red and Green channel, a force is being applied to bodies in the water

Re-writing this texture at runtime allows us to change the flow, even write effects. Sewer flush perhaps?

This one was really fun to showcase, its still a go to everytime i boot a stream. Some viewers join in early just to claim the chair so they can show up on stream for the rest of the session. At one point, i do intend to get us a redeem on cooldown to kick off the current homies on the chair.

A while ago, I introduced a channel point reward on the stream that forces me to make a 3D model for the redeemer.

Thanks to this, I was forced to practice in Blender for a bit — something that probably wouldn’t have happened otherwise. 😅

I'll be releasing some shorts, to showcase the progress of "Home", our example project where we build our tech stack for Unity.

Some of it is new, some old, either way, i wanted to document the progress of this awesome project here!
