Chat-driven actions
Audience commands can affect shared battles and physics-driven simulations, subject to game rules.
Demonstrated conceptInteractive YouTube Live games
CrowdPlay
The audience is part of the game. Viewers influence a shared Unity-powered simulation by interacting through livestream chat.

Audience-powered gameplay
Watch, participate, change what happens.
CrowdPlay (formerly iLG) turns a livestream into an interactive experience. Viewers send commands through chat; a backend interprets and aggregates the audience’s choices; Unity updates the game, which is broadcast back to the audience.

MVP game directionTimed decisions
Short interaction windows combine many individual inputs into a single meaningful gameplay update.
Planned game mechanicUnity simulation
A real-time Unity game renders audience choices into a visual world suitable for broadcast.
Proof of conceptAutomated interpretation
A command-processing service supports chat parsing and future AI-assisted fallback for natural-language input.
Architecture directionRotating game formats
A channel may rotate multiple games and challenges to keep the live experience varied.
Future content planWho it is for
A different kind of live entertainment
Viewers

Potential partnersBrands & events
Explore special-purpose audience-controlled simulations and collective experiences.
Future opportunityCurrent stage
From prototype to repeatable live sessions.
Proved in an experiment
The YouTube chat integration, real-time game updates, Unity rendering, and OBS broadcasting were exercised in a 24-hour proof of concept.
Still to validate
Production reliability, moderation, stream scaling, engaging game loops, measured retention, and sustainable monetization.
