Arty's streams

Colorful Arty · September 21, 2016, 10:09:41 PM

Since rtw hasn't done any lemmings streams in a few months (due to being very busy), I have decided to start my own custom lemmings streams. If you send me your custom levels via email (send to colorfularty@gmail.com) or PM I would be happy to play them. Make sure you include your Lemmings Forums name, the level in question, the engine it is for, as well as any others necessary files such as custom music or graphic sets. I will play Lemmini, SuperLemmini, or NeoLemmix levels, so you have some options. Replays are also useful for me, as I don't consider myself to be great at Lemmings, but not necessary. Don't be afraid to send lots of levels, as I am more than happy to archive them.

I stream on my Twitch account: https://www.twitch.tv/colorfularty
If you follow me, Twitch should notify you when I go live as well.

Before I do any streams though, I want to get some feedback from you guys. First of all, is this something people are even interested in? Second, what day/time works the best for the most people. I am quite flexible, especially on the weekends, but if I stream on weekdays, then I will have to plan around classes and make sure to book recording rooms in advance. I'll post a poll for which days work the best.

Awesome Arty, I'm glad someone has decided to take on some streaming due to RTW's long absence of Lemmings streams.

I would have done it myself if my internet connection wasn't pants. I'll happily send you the levels which I sent to RTW and he hasn't played though

Chances are I'll miss most of the streams though unless they are on Monday or Tuesday though

nice! I have a couple of levels I'd like to get some feedback on. I have to work on them a little first. One is done on the experimental and uses a trap I added.

Weekdays in my time zone (which I believe is Sunday to Thursday for you) work best for me.

Wafflem · September 22, 2016, 02:53:04 AM

Thanks Arty for doing this!!!

I also wanted to try out streaming, but I have other IRL stuff to deal with as well. The levels I will likely send to you are those that are not from LemmingBytes.

sigh guess I won't get to see these streams then, sick of working Saturdays

Colorful Arty · September 22, 2016, 11:26:46 PM

Just because one day gets the most votes does not mean I will exclusively stream on that day. I'm just trying to get a ballpark of which days have the most people available. I will make sure to not play a person's levels on a stream if that person cannot make it to said stream. Plus, even if you have to work on a stream day, I may not stream until you get off of work.

namida · September 23, 2016, 05:25:53 AM

One thing I should point out: It'd be helpful to people who may not know you so well, if you either state what time zone you're in, or give all dates / times in UTC (and state that you're doing so).

Colorful Arty · September 23, 2016, 12:25:05 PM

That will be the next poll: determining the best time on the best days. I am in Eastern Standard Time, but I have a lot of flexibility for streaming times, especially on weekends, so I'll leave it to a poll.

Colorful Arty · September 26, 2016, 12:18:34 AM

The results are in! It looks like I will mostly be streaming on a Monday, Saturday, or Sunday! This does NOT mean I will never stream any other day though.

Added a poll so people know to vote for the time you want me to stream!

My first stream is planned for this coming Sunday (October 2nd) at 7:00pm Eastern Standard Time. I was going to start at 8, but I could only get a room from 7-9 as opposed to 8-10, and I want to allow for more than an hour for the streams just in case. Make sure you tune in at my twitch channel at that time; it should be quite fun!

Wafflem · September 30, 2016, 03:31:37 PM

Awesome, can't wait for this!

Unless other stuff happens that day, I'll try to show up starting around 7:45 EST.

Flopsy · October 01, 2016, 12:03:57 AM

Going to throw it out there in case there is interest.

I'm sure those who are following the poker videos on either mine, namida or Arty's channel may be aware that we've started doing Skype chats during our poker games and it has led to some interesting conversations caught on video about any topic in general.

Anyway the idea I have is there could be a massive Skype chat going on during the stream, of course joining in is optional and the normal stream chat will still be there for those who don't want to but I just thought it would be interesting to see many people gather and Skype chat during the stream about the levels we watch Arty solve. Of course Arty himself is welcome to join the Skype as well!

Some of us on the IRC are already friends on Skype but if anyone on here is interested in adding me on Skype, just PM me

Of course I'd record the whole thing myself and put it on my youtube channel (with Arty's permission of course).

Colorful Arty · October 01, 2016, 12:19:18 AM

That sounds fun! I am all for joining in the Skype call, and you are more than welcome to record my stream and put it on Youtube. Just make sure people know it is my stream.

Colorful Arty · October 28, 2016, 01:01:30 PM

I think it's time for another stream! This Saturday at 7:00 EST I will be streaming custom lemmings levels. I have only three this time, but if I finish early, I may show off one of the levels for my new pack! Be there or be square. This time, I will be streaming on Youtube, since I think that will be more stable than Twitch.
