SEGMENTS

Below are some of the recurring coworking segments we host on the Twitch channel. These live streams are hosted by Lana Lux.

Pick an Object, Add it to the Game

  • Lana shares a list of objects she needs to add to the game.
  • Chat votes on one.
  • Lana 3D models the object, UV unwraps it, textures it and programs it into the game.
  • This could be an object that can be built, searched, something to craft with, plant, eat, etc.
03

Dev Challenge

  • A random theme is picked for the round.
  • Everyone gets one hour to write some code (by hand) and record a video or take a screenshot.
  • At the end, everyone's results are shared.
  • Themes are usually simple but can be taken further (ie. blinking lights, wind)

Interactive Twitch Game

  • A 3D simulation game is run and shown on stream.
  • Anyone from chat can choose to join the 3d city sim, customize their character and join in on minigames.
