In fact just before my latest “LoZ: Breath of the wild” series there are two videos where I tried live few tricks with more than OBS on 2-3 pc’s in one stream, and also stream part of that content somewhere else. This post deals with details about that and most of technical aspect of that experiment: https://at-edoga.net/mali_vir_eddy/tapping-obs-for-hyper-production/localization/english/
I like to think I’m making casual “edutainment” content , for curious audience sharing insight how I as creative individual build and distribute content on internet with intent to monetize or create intellectual capital.
I have setup a website at “https://at-edoga.net” I use to keep public drafts and notes that are related to and incorporated during stream as visual aid. Also post updates, show off merch (print on demand), links to other platforms …
