Frequently Asked Questions

What are overlays?

Overlays are a transparent layer that gets added on top of your stream as a browser source. In the case of my products, they allow viewers to click directly on your stream to trigger events, but it only works for Twitch streamers since it relies on Twitch extensions.

Something is broken. What should I do?

Please tell me!!! Hosting the overlays on a server is VERY new to me, and I want to fix it as soon as possible! Email me at phweedomstudio@gmail.com or DM me on discord with the username Phweedom

Should I use GreenHeat Extension or Heat Extension?

Unless you have other products using Heat already, I reccommend using GreenHeat. It works for mobile, and does everything Heat can plus more.

Where do you get your art / assets from?

Many are hand drawn / 3d modelled and rigged by myself live on stream, but I also make use of CC-0 and purchased assets. In the future I'd like all my overlays to use commissioned artists but for now I'm working with what I can afford and ensuring not to use any art which has been generated by AI.

Do you use AI?

I do ask ChatGPT or Claude questions sometimes. While I don't ever generate art etc I wanted to be transparent since the topic is quite promenant at the moment. I stream all my work, you can see my whole process over on Twitch!

Why did you move to webhosting instead of listing overlays on vgen/kofi/etsy/booth?

Webhosting the overlays (instead of sending the local files) has proven more reliable for customers and it also allows me to serve updates to existing customers automatically.

I bought an overlay from vgen/kofi/etsy/booth but I want the updates / greenheat compatibility

Please contact me with the your order number, and I can set you up on the webhosted equivalent!

Whats the deal with subscriptions?

The plan is to build out my library to have hundreds of overlays. Whatever price you sub at, you will keep until that subscription is cancelled.
