Something for gamers

Everyone who's a least bit interested in video games, has on an occasion ro two played a first person shooter (FPS). That means that the player, obviously, see the game from a first person perspective. Those games are quite popular because of their online capabilities. Most of them also offer a "spectator mode", which allows the player, as the name states, spectate the ongoing match. One might learn some new tricks or just kill some time this way.

A few days back I started thinking about the possibility of a spectator mode in other games. Most games of other genres don't have that feature out if the box. For example, you'd really like to see, how your friend goes through that particular track with a unreal time in that racing game or how someone gets through an especially though place in a platformer. This is where Yaika! comes in :)

Using special software, you can record anything happening on your desktop just as it you would with a webcam. Then you can broadcast your desktop over Yaika! on your own channel. You can use this trick with different FPS games that actually feature a spectator mode. This way you can lighten the load of the game's own server.

Hopefully I gave you some tips to improve your gaming experience :)
