tfishell: I'll be honest, watching Twitch doesn't interest me personally, I'd rather watch highlights on YouTube or something. That said, maybe some sort of deals could be made where you show off "big-deal" releases some time before they release on GOG. Maybe there are reasons why GOG doesn't announce big-deal releases ahead of time - especially those high up on the wishlist or such as the recent Bethesda or Square Enix releases or Metro Exodus - (like Valve will proactively encourage devs or pubs to put them on sale on Steam or something? seems unlikely but I dunno), but if everything is signed and sealed and fixed up on a technical level, maybe like the day before the release, or just a few hours or an hour before, there could be a short reveal stream. Let people know ahead of time (like the day before the stream?) when to tune in; just, imo, try to only hype when appropriate (I assume you've been around long enough to know how to handle this ;), such as using the wishlist to gauge interest.
Or bring back
EnigmaticHints on-stream in honor of TET ;)
Yeah, Twitch is not for everyone. I sometimes compare it with watching tennis. Some people love it, others don't.
Still, I hope that for those who are interested in these kinds of event we can provide some fun and distraction.
We're happy about everyone who decides to peek in.
Concerning releases: Whenever we can do a pre-release stream we're already doing it. Those are usually "Coming Soon" games though.
As Stream Team Coordinator I like the idea of presenting upcoming un-announced releases on our channel - of course. :D
But I'm not 100% sure that's a good idea.
I'm still adding to my notes of "things that would be cool".
I was a great fan of of the EnigmaticHints back then! And I had been thinking about them in relation to some other thing recently. It's funny that you're also bringing them up.
We're currently having a more or less regular VODcast on Saturdays but are also looking into other formats, so this is one more thing to go on my list.
Have a great weekend!
