Choice Chamber FAQ

[bean]

What's this game?
This is Choice Chamber, a game designed to be streamed on Twitch to allow your viewers to play along with you. They're kind of like DMs who decide how the game changes as you try to survive.

Do I need to stream on Twitch in order to play?
It's not required, but highly recommended. There's an offline mode for those who are camera-shy / still on dial-up, but if you can stream while playing you totally should try it out!

Achievements, Trading Cards, Controller support?
Yes, yes, yes! Xbox 360 controllers work the best.

Where can I get the music?
Support the musician, Kozilek, by grabbing the soundtrack from his Bandcamp[kozilek.bandcamp.com]!

I need detailed information about everything.
Here's the wiki[choicechamber.wikia.com]. Spoilers ahead! There's also r/choicechamber.

Have you made any other games?
I have two other games on Steam, BasketBelle and Soundodger. I've also made dozens of free games over the last 14 years, most of which are at my site[onemrbean.com].

Do you stream Choice Chamber on Twitch? Other stuff?
Yep! I do a Choice Chamber dev show on Tuesdays at 11am PST on my Twitch channel[twitch.tv], usually breaking stuff in the process. If I stream any other time, it's usually another game.

Have you heard of Twitch Plays Pokemon?
Of course. I was already working on Choice Chamber when TPP came out, so it was a welcoming confirmation that people would find this type of game fun.

Is there any scope for this working with Steam's own live broadcasting functions?

Looks like a fantastic concept btw, I would sign up to twitch just to play this. :D

Is there a guide to getting it started for streaming?

[bean]

@Kibby There are no plans to expand beyond Twitch connectivity at this time.

[bean]

@Beergnome You'll need to stream the game like you would any other game, using XSplit or OBS. Once that's setup, simply type your Twitch username in the Settings screen and it's connected.

I've been unable to get it connected to my channel so far. I have a thread up with more details on what I've been trying to do to get it to connect to my Twitch Channel. No luck so far... I think it connected once, initially... but has never been able to since.

Ditto on not being able to get it working/connecting to the Twitch channel.

I have seen a few streamers playing this and I am pretty interested in buying this for myself, the streamers I have watched have mentioned that you can even have a custom character... How does one get/make a character?

[bean]

@Enigma: You supply separate pngs in a folder (run, jump, idle, etc) that the game looks at. Pretty simple to hook up in-game, and it even includes the option to always start as that custom character.

Is it possible to get the game in other languages such as Danish? If not, then i would gladly tanslate it for ya.

Is there any sort of guide for which images are needed? Seems like there aren't enough images in the folder of the default character.

Those 7 pngs are the only ones used right now. We're planning to add wider support for specific weapon attacks in the future.

Mac version is a high priority right now. There's no date at the moment because it's unknown how long it will take to finalize the build, test, etc.

[nathanzelden]

can I be a mac beta tester? I'm running OS X 10.11 developer beta (el capitan)

[Squidge]

I'm on an active twitch chat and it comes up with offline mode I try to connect but offline mode is preventing it
