The “Plays Identity” project shown here is a demonstration of work for a live streamer on YouTube, Twitch, Mixer, etc. playing video games. It gives multiple scenes for multiple scenarios(Main scene, intro, intermission, ending, etc.). The scenes are created through multiple tools and put together using Open Broadcaster Software(OBS). Creating and organizing these items together requires the knowledge of live streaming in order to recognize what type of information is needed in the design. All scenes were first planned as a wire frame for the information and then designed around it over multiple versions, improving upon the last. This project is one of the most ambitions personal projects because it uses so much tools to maintain and evolve. To be fully operational it even needs external tools like Streamlabs(which even includes some CSS editing) and Restream.io.

Above are the intro and ending screens with a seamless loop.

A demo of the live stream in action. You can see the intro, main, intermission, and end scenes. The intro scene contains appealing visuals to hook viewers. The main scene contains important info for a live stream like chat, goals, recent subscribers, music, and of course the main window for game play. The intermission scene contains one big difference being a slide show of images as to not have viewers look at frozen screen of the main scene when the streamer has to take a quick break. The end scene’s important element is the text to let viewers know this is the end of the broadcast without an abrupt end from the main scene.
