Deux, my stream setup | Merlijn van der Male

Side project

Path of Exile and Torchlight Infinite

Twitch

Starting soon stream screen with the headline Loading in, a countdown and a loading bar

The screens

Starting soon, AFK, GG and offline each tell viewers where the stream stands, with a timer, a run summary at the end and a line of humor in between.

GG end screen with a run summary of the stream

Offline channel screen with the line Probably farming maps off-stream

While playing

As little on screen as possible, so a busy game stays readable. The webcam and game bar sit in the corners, and the chat and lower third follow the same style.

Alerts

Follows, subs, gifts, raids and bits appear in the channel's own style. The loot alert is the loudest of the set: one click when something good drops.

Control panel

One panel inside OBS for deaths, loot and the session goal. It also shows whether everything is connected, so nothing needs clicking in the overlays during a stream.

The channel

A profile banner and six About panels in dark and yellow, so the channel stays recognizable when I'm not live.

The ads

Ad creative for Meta, Google Performance Max and LinkedIn, with a lighter voice to match the channel.
