Choosing The Right Retro Overlay

Think about what content you are streaming: If you are a fan of retro based games, or pixel based games, having a retro video game overlay will set the scene for your content. Games such as Super Mario, Stardew Valley, or any game released prior to the year 2000, fit really well into the retro and nostalgic category of games, and to create a cohesive brand for your channel you should use retro overlays such as Arcade or Hyperchrome. 

Match your branding: Decide on your era! There are subtle differences between each type of retro stream overlay - from 8-bit to 16-bit pixel overlays like our Arcade stream overlays, to nostalgic 80’s overlays such as Hyperchrome. Choosing if you want a more blocky and pixel vibe, or something that screams memories of a decade will help you pick the right retro effect overlay! Make sure your branding is consistent in style or color palette to create an engaging and enjoyable experience for your viewers, that encourages them to interact and keep watching by using retro Twitch alerts and Twitch emotes.

Less processing power is needed to get them up and running in the highest quality, resulting in smoother and seamless streams and less technical problems.
