Extra Life Game Day
Stream Overlay

Custom overlay for use in OBS during Extra Life gameday broadcasts. This provides enough room for the donation tracker on top, camera in the lower left, game as the main content, chat above camera, and the clock to show a countdown on time left.
Extra Life Four Overlay for
Four Swords Adventures
Four Swords Adventures
One year, Extra Life on my twitch channel featured the game Four Swords Adventures, a Legend of Zelda game that utilizes a single communal screen, and individual screens for the four players.
A new overlay was made to accommodate this.
Stream Closing Concept
There have been ideas to create themed stream overlays and starting/closing screens for some of the commonly played games on the channel.
For Phasmophobia, a group co-op ghost hunting game, the idea was to use themes similar to analog horror content found on youtube.
Custom Theatrhythm Themed
Overlay Content
Overlay Content
The musical rhythm game Theatrhythm is a popular Extra Life event on my channel. I created a special overlay to support the automatic Extra Life alerts that come in for song requests during the stream. These are also positioned on the page to fit with the visual UI of the game itself, along with in-game sounds and alerts.
"Doggy Cam" Frame
for Stream Use
for Stream Use
Upon popular request, my viewers often wish to see regular footage of my dogs during stream. So they not only have their own dedicated webcam, but they also have a frame to go with it.
Social Media Assets
Youtube Thumbnails
Many games that I stream are right at launch and I prefer to not have spoilers on the thumbnails of the youtube archives of my broadcasts. So I pre-build thumbnails using marketing screenshots from the developer.

Social Media Spoiler Warning
#100daysofgaming is an Extra Life related event where gamers pledge to play at least an hour of a game every day for the hundred days leading up to Extra Life game day.
This period runs into a game that I run on channel that many people want spoiler warnings for. This was my social media post warning upcoming spoilers for a game in 2024.
The content of the social media post offered hashtags to block so that people would not see the spoilers in upcoming tweets.
