Along the way, developer Studio Bean provided a fair amount of backer updates to keep folks in the loop. Now, the game is finally available for everyone to check out."
Twitch has announced a new category on their platform, one that caters to the “Twitch Plays” broadcasts where the game is played through the chat.
For sure. I think the new games and features that have come from TPP have been great to see.
twitch plays is fun, for like 5 minutes. It's cool but it's mostly running into a wall for two hours.
Choice Chamber is being developed by Studio Bean. The title had run a successful Kickstarter back in April where it had raised $35,612 of its $30,000 goal. The game’s creator Michael Maulinari filled us in on the inspiration behind Choice Chamber and how it came to be.

"Twitch Plays Pokemon was an unqualified phenomenon, but it was incredibly messy. The concept of controlling the game solely through crowdsourced input was fascinating to see in practice, but it didn’t seem like it could hold attention long-term (at least not mine). I don’t know if Choice Chamber was thought up because of Twitch Plays Pokemon, or if it’s just coincidence, but it takes the concept of crowdsourced game impact and brings it to a functional single player game. And man, that game is actually pretty fun."
