I have one I'm using for one particular game, but I could easily design one for each of the games I plan on playing this year. Welcome to the madness, friend! As far as I know there aren't really any rules for streaming unless you get a spot on the official stream team rotation. So I'd say do whatever feels right. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When you say "official stream team rotation" how would I get into it? And cool. Also here's the template I'll be using for at least part of the time.

Sean Rooney 440 Posted October 25, 2016 Use whatever you want. They can't exactly police it, but by giving you some resources the hope is it's easier for you to set up 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sean Rooney 440 Posted October 25, 2016 You can do it however you like. Play one hour or 96. Play today or five years from now. Play basketball or Klondike. What's important is that you tell people what you are doing and ask them to help you by making a donation. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

djotaku 44 Posted October 28, 2016 I always do a custom overlay. The key thing for Extra Life is to leave some space for the donation alerts so you can gin up excitement as people donate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I posted it earlier in this thread. I plan on making different ones for all the games I plan on playing on my EL "shift". lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djotaku 44 Posted October 28, 2016 Yeah, I started out with one like yours - the standard two rectangles. I've been moving towards favoring full screen gaming and minimal overlay since I'm trying to raise money all-year long as I often can't participate in the entire 24hrs on gameday. EG: my TF2 Overlay: 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
