A Streamers Diary: March 2018

March was a big month for the Luvva stream; a BIG month indeed. March saw the biggest leap forward in viewership (still admittedly tiny) I’ve had since my return; it also marked my biggest concurrent viewership as well as my longest streaming time. It was very successful, and it got me Affiliate status on the 14th!! HUGE!

A Streamer’s Diary: Jan/Feb 2018

A blast from the past! The eagle-eyed amongst you may have noticed that I have begun streaming again on twitch and have been consistently doing so since the end of January. So, what is better than resurrecting a long dead (but still inexplicably popular) series ‘A Streamer’s Diary’

The State of the Blog

Last year we really pulled it out of the bag – despite it being one of our worst years for new content we somehow had our best year ever for views! Whilst this is awesome news views just aren’t enough for me, a few years ago I wrote a piece about how important the community is to me (and these pages) and merely coasting by with the minimal amount of posts simply isn’t good enough for me or you!

flash from the past…right?

Twitch introduce Emote lootboxes

A few days ago twitch introduced their new initiative; the ever popular and totally fair lootbox system, by cheering with ‘bits’ twitch viewers can unlock emotes to use. 

Twitch Announces Affiliate Program

…. better than nothing!

Twitch has been making some big moves recently with their sub-tier announcements and what have you but it all had one thing in common – it only affected the partnered streamers. Well, today we have our first announcement that isn’t for already partnered streams.

Twitch to add tiers to subscriptions

Yesterday, it would seem that Twitch Partners got sent an email that outlined changes that are being made for their subscriptions.

Being the Internet, someone has leaked an image of the full email on Reddit. 

Preparing for Youtube

…creativity don’t fail me now!

Today marks the 2 week and one day window towards a little indie game from Hello Games called ‘No Man’s Sky’, not too sure if you guys have heard of it – you probably have. This game to me has my head doing swirls with ideas I could finally get my teeth into and start creating youtube videos that actually have substance.

Local Co-Op Games I’ll Be Playing Over Christmas

Precisely a year ago (unplanned I promise, a happy coincidence) I wrote a post about the games I’ll be playing with my family. Part celebrating Christmas, part celebrating the dying art of local co-op (you can find that very post here) – it went down well and was one of December’s highest viewed posts.

Well, here is the 2015 edition – the games that I will be relying on to bring the family together and keep us laughing together long after the crackers have been pulled.

I present to you a list of local co-op games that guaranteed to lead to a very merry Christmas. Every game has special tips to help you eck out every ounce of fun!

This week at LuvvaLuvva Towers (4-10/05/2015)

The past week was one that, at the beginning, looked like it was going to continue the trend of being incredibly busy. I pulled it out of the bag in the latter half of the week (thanks for being so patient with me this past week btw) and met our three post a week pledge!

And those three posts were good’uns too! If you missed anything here’s the traditional weekly round-up, complete with stream highlights and my stream schedule (not gonna lie to you, I completely forgot these last week).

A Streamers Diary (April)

We’re a bit late with this edition of the post that gives you the skinny on the life behind the camera, what a streamer goes through to deliver that live entertainment that millions crave. After the disaster that was March there was only one way to go in April…

…right?
