• Success requires that we step outside normal routines.
• One Punch Club is a perfect example of ”Thinking
outside the box” having the game get unlocked by
Twitch chat beating the game.
• Twitch will always have a healthy respect for our "mad
inventors.” Remember Twitch Play’s Pokémon!
• Don’t let your great ideas get lost because of the lack of
courage. Or intimidated by someone's comment that,
"You can't do that!"
IN A WORLD OF MILLIONS HOW
DOES A NEW DEV STAND OUT
Success Means Being Different

Twitch has a home for Dev’s Programming
This community is aimed at sharing the
art and science of video game creation
with Twitch.
Streaming to GameDevelopment means
that you're not only interested in making
a game, but sharing the process with
other people. That can mean
programming, art, music, level design,
playtesting, or any number of other
things.
