Kitten'd - Twitch Integration

A guide describing how the twitch integration in Kitten'd works both for twitch streamers and twitch chat.

Help for twitch chat

Twitch chat can now become a kitten in Kitten’d! Not only does this name the kitten after you, if you have a named kitten in the streamers game you can decide how it looks and what it does! You can even send messages using your kitten to the streamer.

To become a kitten in the game simply write anything in chat before the streamer opens the kitten box. Once added your name will appear by the box for a short while. Spamming chat will not increase the chance that you get picked.

After the streamer opens the box kittens in the box will pick their name randomly from everyone who wrote something while the streamer was waiting.

Once you know that one of the cats is yours (streamer should pick up the kittens to show who they are) you can send commands to your kitten simply by typing them in chat!

Here’s a list of the commands you can do:

!KITPoop
Will make your kitten poop, if it’s close to a litter box it will poop there if not, it will go on the floor or the sofa.

!KITLove
Your kitten wants a hug and will go up to the streamer hoping to be picked up and petted. If the streamers doesn’t do this your cat will instead scratch the sofa.

!KITPlay
This commands makes your kitten wants to play with the streamer. If the streamers doesn’t throw a ball or play with you your kitten will start a fight with another kitten.

!KITFood
You are hungry and must find food! If there’s no food your kitten will become angry.

!KITSleep
This command makes your kitten sleepy, it will try to get to a sofa or soft spot to sleep.

!KITMessage <message>
This command will make a twitch icon appear above your kittens head. When the streamer picks you up he/she can read your message. This message can only be 25 characters long and the streamer can turn off this command. ex !KITMessage Hi there streamer!

!KITMeow
Your kitten will let out a short meow or growl depending on it’s mood.

These commands will tint your kitten in the specified color:
!KITRed
!KITGreen
!KITBlue
!KITTeal
!KITBlack
!KITPink

The streamer can set a timer to avoid chat spamming the game with commands so don’t write too many commands at once. The mood commands (Like !KITPoop) takes a little bit of time before your kitten does them so be patient.

Every time someone cheers using bits a balloon with the name of the chatter who cheered and the amount will appear in the streamers room. The more bits donated the bigger the balloon.
Streamers can set a minimum amount of bits you need to donate for a balloon to appear so make sure you are above that limit.

Token:
This is a special token you need to get from https://twitchapps.com/tmi/ remember to remove “oauth:” from the token before pasting it into the game.

Minimum Bits:
This is the least amount of bits required for a balloon to appear. If you are being spammed with balloons you might want to increase this a little bit.

This is the amount of seconds a kitten needs to wait before it can take in another command from you viewers. It’s set in seconds.

Subscribers Only:
If checked only subscribed user can become kittens in your game.

Allow Messages:
If checked users can send messages to you using their kittens. A kitten with a message will have a twitch icon above their head and the message will be shown when you pick it up.

Once you are all setup click connect.
You will know that you are connected to twitch when the text to the right of the button says connected. While connected to twitch-chat a icon in the upper left of the menu will change from a WiFi icon to the twitch icon.

Twitch chat can only join in the game while you haven’t opened the box so make sure you hear a couple “dings” before you open the box to make sure everyone who wants to join has a chance to do so.

After opening the box pick up each of the kittens so that twitch chat knows who were chosen.

When twitch chat sends commands that impact what the cat will do a twitch icon with red rays around it will show up over the cat. Make sure to keep an eye out for there to see what the kitten needs. Keeping twitch chat kittens happy will be crucial for your success!

In sandbox mode kitten names will be collected all the time and every time you enter the room or you press the “wait” button in the menu the kittens in your room will change names to twitch chatters who then can control them.
