I've decided to make a Twitch channel which is mostly designed with Dizzy in mind although I will be playing other RPGs/Adventure games too. I have to confess that since the old days when we used TGF I haven't really played any fan games, so this'll be a good opportunity for me to start playing them like a noob and for other people to watch (and laugh at my misfortunes!) My Twitch channel is http://www.twitch.tv/geekgirl_101

There are some good fan games on here in recent years, especially one's made with DizzyAGE. I could always recommend some particular Dizzy fan games if you're after a challenge down the line. :smile:
I'm probably the only one who still uses TGF (Now known as Clickteam Fusion), and I have started to get better with making them compared to 11 years ago.
Playing the Magic Maniax series from beginning to end would be one particular challenge especially for those who remember playing fan made Dizzy games during the Games Factory days. :smile:

Thanks Adz. :smile: I certainly do still remember them, and Dizzy getting stuck on walls and falling through floors. :teethy:
Playing the Magic Maniax series from beginning to end would be one particular challenge I'll say! I've only tried playing Magic Maniax 6 ..and keep on dieing!! :wall:
Today's stream was quite fun! Gained myself a follower who's never heard of Dizzy before so fingers crossed more will come and join in the fun. :smile:
I'm aware the stream hours may not be suitable for most and the recent announcements were confusing as I said 11am one day then 2pm the next and then back to 11am. It's a bit tricky managing hours at the moment since I no longer have my own personal space to set things up but if too many people think my hours are too late or too early I will really try to change that, whether it be extending the hours or starting later at night. I'd like to hear your opinions and what would encourage you to come and watch.

Well guys, I'm gonna thank you for your feedback and support and move on from here as there's no interest in what I did hope would be an awesome show. I'll be giving all my attention instead to the followers I already have and remaking the stream for their pleasure.
Take care guys, the community was fun while it lasted.

Sorry to hear that. :sad: I have been trying to watch your stream the other day but I was having a lot of playback problems.
But seriously though, you must not take the lack of replies here to heart, It's just that not many people visit these forums these days because of either their busy lives or they've chosen to post on social media instead of here.
I know the frustration when it comes to lack of feedback, but I don't tend to let it bother me too much as I know how often this forum lacks activity.
It's a real shame you've chosen to walk away again, despite being a couple of weeks away from the big event at Cambridge which hopefully should spark some activity here.
Just remember, NOBODY is ignoring you, just remember how often this forum is quiet, and there are many interested people on social media who mostly don't bother providing feedback.
You've done a fantastic job with your support.
I had a look in 3 or 4 times because you said you might be playing fan games, and I was interested to see how you got on with some games I found difficult. But every time you were playing Secret of Mana, which is a great game but one that I've completed a few times. Maybe I should have checked in more..
I did play Dizzy games on day 1 and 2 but nobody was interested. The only time I actually got visitors was when I was playing the other stuff. I need to put first the people who are supporting me, and if the supporters aren't Dizzy fans then there's no point in streaming them. I'll try again today but if the viewer list is still 0 then I don't see a future where I'd be dedicating the channel to Dizzy games.
In any case, it's not like I was given much support even when The Dizzy Community first started. Remember Dizzy Zone Radio? That was a flop. I thought it might be a different story if I streamed on Twitch with there now being a plethora of fan-made Dizzy games many of which I haven't played and would be rather amusing watching me fail badly at them and maybe also chat with the writers about their game. I guess I expected too much.

I think I mentioned something about this not long ago.
Andrew did look into a live stream for Yolkfolk several years ago as an experiment, but it didn't work out as far as I know.
I'm not sure if live streams work for Dizzy as not many of the fans today will always be online during the afternoon or during the night, or if they have their own family that can take up spare time.
Not to mention that there are still people who either have a weak or limited Internet access.
Where I stand is that I have limited Internet access and I'm not online all the time as I do other things away from the computer.
Another idea would be Let's Play videos that can be uploaded to YouTube, not like the one's the Oliver Twins do though.
They sometimes stand a better chance with attention as people can watch them any time they want after It's uploaded.
The only downside though is that the reception will most likely be quiet at first.

Well I had 1 new visitor this afternoon who stuck around for 30 seconds roughly. Was having quite a blast playing various versions of Kwik Snax although the Amiga version was playing up on WinUAE and wouldn't work at all on Retroarch. It's only just started behaving for me now which is a bit late, like 8 hours late. {dizzy}:mad:
