Chaturbate has introduced support for Overlays on platforms like OBS and Splitcam, and during a recent Hackathon, NaomiNSFW developed an app called Pixel Companions. This app, inspired by Stream Avatars for Twitch, allows each user to have a custom avatar at the bottom of the screen. These avatars can react to tips, various events, messages, and perform unique animations.
Key Features:
- Avatars move around randomly and show unique animations.
- Reactions based on tips and message events.
- Options to limit avatars to users who have purchased tokens.
- Ability to set token cost for generating and swapping companions.
- New settings options to help increase earnings.
- Three new companions: Dinosaur, Imp, and Swampling creature.
- Companions disappear when entering a private show.
- Numerous bug fixes.
NaomiNSFW has expressed interest in adding more avatars, events, and animations if the app is successful. Although the Fan Club feature is available as an add-on, it is not necessary for using the app. Users can customize messages and token costs, making it a versatile tool for enhancing viewer interaction and engagement.
The app has already won a prize at the Hackathon, and further updates are planned. Naomi encourages feedback and suggestions for future improvements.
