DeathDrop Alpha

Game Explanation: “DeathDrop” is not just a one player game where people’s fates lay in your hand. Comfortably residing on the remains of a great castle you have the control and power of life and death in your hands.

This is where the twist comes in, you are not playing with fellow members of the Core universe, you are playing with friends on Twitch. “DeathDrop” is an interactive game that is played from Core and streamed through the control players OBS or another streaming program. The viewers in the Twitch chat can join the game by typing “!play” in the chat after the control player opens the entry time. The game will materialize an avatar in the “Ready Cave” for the viewer with their name, then transports them to a large playfield of “Death Skull” platforms.

When all the players have entered the playing field the streamer then clicks the start button on the control panel for the ten second countdown before the game begins. One by one the Death Skulls will be removed until there remains only one contestant being the last survivor and winning a prize from the streamer, which can be anything from channel points to gift cards, or whatever the streamer has planned as prizes.

The streamer can run the in-game epic soundtrack or keep it muted for their own music. As well as shut down the platform barrier and go travelling around the small planetoid to see some of the sites, which will be improved as time goes by with some more interactive activities.

The interactivity between streamer and viewer through chat is getting them involved in the life and death struggle experience while they are visiting your channel. In the past few years, game designers have been creating games that get the audience more involved. Games such as Marbles on Stream, Stream Racer, Stream Arena, etc. etc. have been something that viewers can get involved with to be part of the stream. Since Core does not have an interactive platform yet with Twitch, we had to create a chat-bot that connects between Twitch and the chat-bot in the game which must be started prior to running the game as a separate program. We have made it as easy as possible for the streamer to connect to Core by simple commands.
