An Honest Adventure
January 14, 2024A classic RPG-themed stream overlay game that runs ontop of a Twitch stream, made solo for fun!

I decided when streaming that I wanted to create a stream overlay game that would run whenever I streamed, allowing chatters to write things in chat to interact with the game. This was inspired by a similar concept seen on Windybeards stream, where he had a game themed around his steam release GEO.
This was something I developed live on stream, which was one of my most enjoyable projects as chat were able to get involved in testing features and giving feedback live on stream during development.
The game was hosted for many years, though due to my stream scheduled reducing after starting full time work, viewership dipping and those who still played having achieved everything that they could in the game, I made the decision to retire AHA back in 2020.
AHA2 was started in Unreal Engine, to modernise the archetecture of the game and port over the game from Unity. I opened up the project to allow contributions from community members, to help with the web dev back end that I wasn’t experienced in. The core foundation has been done, but a mix of lack of motivation / time when progressing my day job as a game developer has caused the project to remain incomplete.
