Following Ventures

If you're checking out the Venture Board and come across a few slick Ventures that you'd like to keep tabs on, you should Follow them! Following a Venture adds it to your Dashboard view for easy access. In addition, you'll receive notifications when major events occur with that Venture, such as a new best Claim being submitted. Following a Venture is also a factor in its Notability – the more Follows a Venture receives, the higher its Notability score goes!

To Follow a Venture, simply click the "Follow" button on the Venture card in the Venture Board, or on the Venture page. If you're not interested in keeping up with it any more, simply click the Unfollow button.

Venture Streaming

If you're in the midst of going after a Venture, there's probably a bunch of fans that would love to watch your progress! That's why we set up the Stream Log - players who are broadcasting their pursuit of a Venture can be listed in the Venture Page. Other users can find active streams highlighted on the page, or can navigate to the Twitch channels of users who streamed in the past.

For a user to stream to a Venture, there are a couple requirements that must be met.

  1. User must link their Twitch account. This can be done in the "Connections" tab of user settings.
  2. When streaming on Twitch, the linked account must include the Venture's shortlink. Get the shortlink from the "Share" button on the Venture page, or from the streaming instructions modal.
  3. Go live on Twitch! So long as the shortlink is somewhere in the stream title, it will show up on the Venture page. It may take a moment for Twitch to send out the stream notice, but be patient and it will update on the page automatically!

That's all there is to it! Just as a final note though, if this system is abused and a user starts streaming unrelated content or isn't seriously pursuing the Venture, moderators may block their ability to use the system.

Venture Discussion

Many Ventures may warrant further discussion – either to show excitement, clarify the specifications, ask questions, or otherwise. For these discussions, Game Ventures utilizes our own subreddit !

Any time a new Venture is created, a post is automatically made in the subreddit, and the post is linked to the "Discuss" button on the Venture page. As this domain is separate from Game Ventures, users will need a reddit account to make posts.

Please note that any posts to Reddit are not strictly monitored by Game Ventures staff, and must conform to the rules and policies specified in the subreddit. Users may discuss and coordinate about potential rule violations or other malicious behavior related to the Venture, but for allegations to be considered by Game Ventures moderators they must be submitted via the Game Ventures user reporting system .
