SFX as part of a broader makeup course

Hey everyone,

I'm at an impasse trying to figure out if I should sign up for this yearlong makeup course that has SFX as part of the curriculum. The main focus is bridal, tv, theatre makeup etc. A part of me thinks that's probably for the best, well rounded, could pay the bills in between but of course that's not the part I'm most looking forward to. My question is, is that sort of the standard path? Could/should I just hard focus on DIY-ing a bunch of SFX and building a portfolio based on that?

Thanks in advance for any replies :)

Playtesting on stream?

Hey devs, I'd love to playtest your work. I'm a variety streamer but I have a preference for horror games. I was wondering if it's acceptable to stream a playtest or if it's something that has to be done in private? I also like reviewing and suggesting games. Would you mind if I suggested your game just based on the playtest or is it too early in the process to be rated?

Thanks in advance:)

Raiding bigger streamers than me ?

Hey y'all, I'm trying to get better at networking. I've found a few streamers I keep getting drawn to and watching but most of them avg ~70 viewers.

I know raiding is important but I was curious if it's okay to raid someone that much bigger than me (I avg 3-4 viewers) and just in general what raiding etiquette is in those kinds of situations.

Thanks in advance:)

3 FREE horror games that ACTUALLY scared me

Ignited Entry: One of the best horror games I've played and it happens to be free! It's a full length psychological horror game that will keep you at the edge of your seat.

Slendytubbies: Be constantly on alert as your childhood heroes become your nightmares. If you find yourself getting frustrated like I did at times, keep trying as it's definitely worth finishing.

Lumina Veil: The most recently released game out of the three. It reminds me of older RE games but with a more modern story and twist. The main part that takes getting used to is navigating the inventory menu but that's a small price to pay for what the game offers.

------

I love indie horror and I'm always looking for more gems to stream and post about (not necessarily free).

Have you played any of the games I talked about?

Feel free to drop some suggestions down below:)

Subtle foreshadowing 😔✊

Hey y'all! I'm LoukasLad on Twitch, I stream Tues/Thurs/Sat in English. You can find me playing mainly short horror games but recently I've been starting my streams with more chill games at first and switching to the scary games later. I'm live for 3-3.5 hours on average. I'll be sharing some clips on here so y'all can get a quick idea of what to expect.

SOMA progress erased?

I've streamed SOMA a couple times only to find my progress completely erased today. I hadn't gotten too far tbh and I wasn't fully invested in the game because the scares hadn't hit just yet. How worth it is it to start over and continue the game? What makes it SO scary that I keep hearing about it?

I usually enjoy streaming and playing short, scary games so I'm struggling wanting to start it over again. If it genuinely does get better though I'll give it another go.

Bits for sound alerts

Hey guys, today will be my first steam as affiliate! I recently included sound alerts at the requests of some new viewers. Before becoming affiliate you couldn't charge bits for people to play them and admittedly got a bit annoying since people could spam them. I decided to charge bits for them now that I can to benefit in more ways than one. I settled at 20 bits per alert which I think is a good amount. When I mentioned it prior to getting it done a viewer said "bro is about to lose half his followers" and " we don't want to pay money for it" etc. it's made me a bit nervous but I don't think it's too bad.

​

Has anyone felt like this before? Any advice ?
