Hey! I used to play Birdopolis all the time when it was available. I do wanna ask tho, what birds were all in the game by the time it shut down?
Sorry if this came out of the blue.
Oh! Cool to hear from someone who played the game back then!
I have fond memories of working on Birdopolis... I think we were up to at least 71 species of birds (plus the individual characters) by the end. I made all the isometic overworld animations, and animated the spotting mode illustrations drawn by our other artists. Even with the iso sprites you can probably determine the exact species (you might need a bird book for the groups like warblers, orioles, etc. but I could probably label them all if you really want to be certain).
Do not go into streaming thinking you will make a lot of money because it is not true. Do not do it for money because you will get your feelings hurt.
We have been affiliates since 2018 on twitch and we just got our first payout ever December 15th 2022. It was not much but we are surely thankful for it.
It does not matter if your content is good or anything like that. I say this because to make money on twitch you are going to need subs, bits and ad revenue. Ads are 1 cent per view and bits are one cent. If someone subs for a month on twitch you are getting $1.93 per sub and it takes a lot to get to the minimum payout which is $50.
YouTube is the same way. You earn cents from ad revenue so you will have to have a lot of views on your videos to even make a couple bucks.
Trovo is kind of easier. Their affiliate program is called Trovo 500 and sounds a little more promising than twitch since small streams will show up on the home page also.
You will have to build your community and do not do follow for follow it gets you no where. You have to find those who enjoys you and your content and not just be there because they do not want to or don't show up.
Trust me we are still building our community cause most of the people who was there left or never came into stream and only followed us just to be following thinking I will do follow for follow in which I do not do.
