Frequently Asked Questions

What are overlays?

Overlays are a transparent layer that gets added on top of your stream as a browser source to your OBS or streamlabs. In the case of my products, they allow viewers to click directly on your stream to trigger on-stream 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 general questions sometimes when I get stuck. While I don't use it frequently or to generate art I want 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!
