Vs Chat Pack for Twitch enthusiasts is released today!
The world’s first game pack for Twitch is now available on Steam!
Twitch streamers can now play directly with their viewers via Vs Chat Pack! Four innovative games created by the Danish developer KevDK Games have just been released on Steam!
Vs Chat Pack is the world’s first game pack that allows Twitch streamers to play with their audiences via chat interactions. Viewers can type in various commands in a Twitch chat to impact the game experience.
“A big part of Twitch streaming is sharing experiences and building great communities. I believe Vs Chat Pack can help many Twitch streamers do exactly that. With this game pack, viewers get a rare opportunity to play against their favorite streamer, and it allows the streamers to interact directly with their audiences. My focus has been to push the boundaries for interactive gameplay, and in doing so create exciting new experiences for both streamers and viewers. Bringing people together and creating memorable moments is what Vs Chat Pack does best.” – Casper Friis Farsøe, the creator of Vs Chat Pack.
Vs Chat Pack has four games in four different genres – there is something for every streamer and every mood! The four games in Vs Chat Pack are:
Predicting Vs Chat
A strategy prediction game – Sphere Fighters will duke it out in an arena, but who will perform the best? Before each round, Sphere Fighters with random stats and abilities will be presented. You and each viewer will individually pick a Sphere. You get points from each elimination your chosen Sphere Fighter does, and if it’s the last Sphere standing. After a certain amount of rounds, whoever has accumulated the most points wins the game! You and up to 5000 viewers can play Predicting vs Chat.
Running Vs Chat
An endless runner where your viewers make all the obstacles – how far can you make it, and who will be the one that stops you? Viewers can also cooperate at certain times to create special surprises for you. These can make the run harder, so keep an eye out for whatever your viewers throw your way!
Typing Vs Chat
Type to survive! In a zombie apocalypse, you’re being swarmed from all sides by zombies that your viewers will spawn in. You must shoot the zombies by typing their names – each zombie is named after the viewer that spawned them in. Remember to type ‘reload’ to reload your gun when you run out of bullets. Viewers are able to spawn in different kinds of zombies too, so be careful!
Drafting With Chat
Cooperate with your viewers in this deck-building card game. Ten increasingly difficult opponents stand in your way, and before each encounter, your viewers will create new cards for you. Remove old cards in your deck, draft and insert new ones, and see if your deck is up to the challenge! Each card is also named after the viewer that created it. Will your viewers have your back and supply you with helpful cards, or will they sabotage you as much as they can?

10-15% Of Gamers In Florida Show Signs Of Gaming Addiction: Here Are 10 Signs Your Kid Is Suffering From It (And How You Can Help)
Recent studies indicate that 10-15% of young gamers in Florida exhibit signs of gaming addiction. These findings underscore the need for early identification of symptoms to prevent negative impacts on children’s mental and physical health. Gaming addiction, if not dealt with, can lead to poor academic performance, social withdrawal, and even health problems.
Marin Cristian-Ovidiu, CEO of FreezeNova, discusses key indicators of gaming addiction and offers practical advice for parents.
Recognizing Early Signs
“Early recognition of gaming addiction is crucial in preventing long-term negative outcomes,” Marin explains. The following signs can help parents identify if their child might be developing an addiction:
Exhaustion and Irritability
Constant tiredness and grumpiness during the day could indicate late-night gaming sessions interfering with sleep.
Gaming Obsession
If gaming dominates your child’s thoughts and conversations, and they plan their day around it while neglecting other responsibilities, it could be a sign of addiction.
Decline in Academic Performance and Lost Interests
A noticeable decline in academic performance or loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities may suggest your child is prioritizing gaming over more important tasks.
Emotional Volatility
Extreme emotional reactions to in-game outcomes, such as uncontrolled anger, known as ‘Gamer Rage’, or intense celebrations, could indicate an unhealthy attachment to gaming.
Physical Strain
Signs of repetitive strain injuries like ‘Gamer’s Thumb’ or ‘Nintendo Neck’ from prolonged screen time are warning signals.
Neglecting Basic Needs
If your child is neglecting basic needs like eating, sleeping, or hygiene to keep playing, gaming has likely taken an unhealthy control over their life.
Creating a Supportive Environment
While video games can be a great source of entertainment and connection, around 70% of people with signs of gaming addiction also experience social disorders. Marin recommends a few tips for building a supportive and open environment for your child.
Teamwork and Setting Boundaries
“Parents and children should work together to create a healthy gaming environment. Gaming addiction requires a holistic approach,” Marin advises. Start by setting clear boundaries on gaming time to ensure there’s room for schoolwork, chores, and quality family time.
Revisit activities your child once loved, like football practice or exploring new hobbies together. It’s vital for your child to take breaks from screens, so create a balanced daily routine that includes homework, chores, exercise and just some gaming time. This allows your child to enjoy their games without neglecting other aspects of their life.
Open Communication
Maintain open communication. Discuss the games your child enjoys and any concerns you might have. By understanding their world, you can work together to find solutions.
Remember, you’re not alone. If you feel overwhelmed, seek professional help from specialists in gaming addiction. Marin concludes, “By working as a team, setting clear boundaries, and fostering open communication, we can help your child develop a healthy relationship with gaming and thrive in all areas of life.”
