A stream game where every chat viewer gets their own named car in a 100 car race, and gifts trigger turbo, missiles orbital lasers or a UFO that beams the leader to the back, is a genuinely great interactive format. So I'm curious with up to 100 cars on track at once, how do you keep the race readable for viewers, especially on a phone in portrait mode?
A few things keep it readable. Only the cars near the camera show their name tags, so the screen never fills up with 100 labels. The top 10 stays on screen the whole race, and a race map shows where everyone is. When several powers go off at once, the main camera follows the big moment and a small live cam in the corner shows the rest, while a feed says who hit whom. For phone streams there is a separate portrait view with its own layout, so nothing gets squeezed.
Thanks "genuinely great interactive format" means a lot! Readability comes from only tagging cars near the camera, a persistent top 10, a race map and a picture in picture cam for big moments, plus a dedicated portrait layout for phone streams. Quick q do you mostly watch streams in portrait or landscape?
