since this is mostly populated by people who care, things coming to aqualounge in medium-term:
-
• tshirts/bigcartel store
• indie dev interviews
• actual hardware vita/psp games
• maaaybe actual hardware 3ds games? (no original ds yet, unless i want a capture card)
• probably the laseractive at some point
coming to aqualounge in long-term:
-
• development streams of my two yet-unannounced personal games in development
• some crazy shit involving seaman and a 3.5mm lead (still working this one out)
• news roundup (will need help on this one)
• more realtime cg/live generated shit (aqualounge is 50% custom unity app so sky's the limit)
aqualounge wishlist:
-
• some kind always-on radio component running on an external machine (dunno if my nuc is up to that, it will have to pay for its own drone machine to do this)
• additional stream (would probably require wishlist item #1 since the overlay is such a hackjob they'd have to remote in to the mother pc)
• indie first looks/premieres
• other special interest programming around indie digital art
went into monetization a little bit, but it's essentially gonna be "here's a stream pot, fill it up from $0.00 to $xxxx?? and i will stream again on the soonest available sunday"
this is very unfriendly to twitch's affiliate/partner system which wants people to stream at least 3 times a week (which is not feasible for me), so i aim to make up for that with quality/prep time/polish and tracking donations directly via services like ko-fi/patreon instead. hence the emphasis on the aqualounge.tv landing page.
got some cool ideas for patreon tiers already worked out. this whole thing is a big giant messy experiment but someone's gotta do it
