This was the case in the clip below where Darwin Project players Forsen and Sodapoppin try to talk the audience into strategically starting a Manhunt on another player, only for the viewers to cast their votes and launch the bounty on Forsen himself. With the power placed directly in the hands of viewers, Darwin Project streamers are many times at the mercy of their audience, for better or worse, but always in a way that makes for a more engaging and all-around entertaining stream. We’re thinking about ways to push this feature much further to take viewers even deeper into the game experience.” But more importantly, we’ve seen a sort of social meta game organically emerge in some streamer-focused matches,” Darveau said.
There is a huge wow factor associated with seeing the vote interface appear for the first time, and it’s pretty great at hyping the chat. “So far, the response is overwhelmingly positive. For Scavengers, that system really allows them to create a sense of unity between viewers and Twitch streamers by giving the audience the power to turn the tide of a battle, helping or hindering other players along the way. Right now, Twitch viewers that pick up the Spectator Interaction Extension can pop into a stream for Darwin Project and, when it comes time for the Show Director to make a decision, vote on which players or zones will be the target of those different abilities. That alone makes Darwin Project an exciting game to both play and watch, but Scavengers has taken that social gameplay one step further by creating an extension that meshes seamlessly with the core Darwin Project experience, giving viewers on Twitch an actual say in how each match unfolds.
Meanwhile, an all-seeing 11th player assumes the role of Show Director and takes charge of keeping the combatants on their toes, using their powers to dish out game-altering abilities and, sometimes, sudden obstacles. In it, 10 players duke it out in an ever-shrinking arena, putting their skills to the test all in a bid to be the last person standing. “We believe that by merging a video game with a streaming platform, we can create a new generation of interaction that has the potential to redefine entertainment.”ĭarwin Project is a fresh spin on the increasingly competitive Battle Royale genre. Scavengers has a unique style of play, blending sandbox-style PvE and class-based PvP.“Our creative vision is that viewers should be just as involved in the game experience as the players,” said Simon Darveau, Creative Director at Scavengers Studio. Every Explorer is equipped with a combination of powerful abilities and futuristic weaponry to survive the unrelenting post-apocalyptic Earth. Scavengers drops teams of three into a hostile frozen wasteland, where they must compete to survive and extract datapoints against rival teams, insane mutants and rogue creatures. The strategic PvE and class-based PvP shooter has marked the early access release with a new trailer.

This is a major milestone ahead of our full launch later this year.” Josh Holmes, CEO and co-founder of Midwinter Entertainment. “Going ‘always-on’ with Early Access means we can significantly expand our ability to tune the game, implement new systems, and take in more feedback from all of our players. The game even reached the 6th most-watched game on Twitch with a peak viewership of over 120,000 people. However, following the overwhelming response to the Scavengers’ limited-time Twitch Drops event, Midwinter Entertainment has decided to make Scavengers’ Early Access available to everyone. Originally, players could only play Scavengers by watching Scavengers’ Twitch streams and receiving a Steam Key. Scavengers, the free-to-play Shooter, has decided to open Early Access to everyone on both Steam and the Epic Games Store.
