Descent on Twitch — competition and audience
Welcome to Descent - 30 levels of the most mind-bending, stomach-churning action game ever. Featuring true 3-Dimensional worlds with light source shading, texture mapping, 3-D morphing, directional sound effects and sizzling music, this is technology taken to the limit.You begin deep below the surface of Lunar Base I where an unknown alien race has taken over the chasm of the Post-Terran Mining Corporation. Lunge straight down mine shafts, twist around never-ending tunnels and fight your way past robotic menaces in an environment that's truly 360° 3-D... move up, move down, shoot everything everywhere. Hang onto your senses (and your lunch) as you drop straight down mine shafts on a ride that'll leave you spinning.And what's the good of losing your mind if you can't share the experience with your friends? Descent invites you and your buddies to dive into the action together with head-to-head combat and cooperative two-player modem and eight-player network support.

Should I stream Descent on Twitch?
0/100 · Closed off· 6 viewers per streamer on paperProbably not. The only English stream here holds all 6 English viewers — once you take it out there is nothing left to reach.
The only English stream here holds all 6 English viewers. There is nothing left over for a second.
Almost nobody here is available to you — either a couple of streams hold the room, or nobody is watching in English, or the category is empty, or you would be buried.
This reads the room as it is right now — how much of the English-speaking audience is reachable and where you would land — not how many followers you would gain. That depends on you.

How many people stream Descent?
Right now
1 right now, to 6 viewers between them. Counted live from Twitch and refreshed every 15 minutes.
Is Descent too saturated on Twitch?
Not crowded, but not open either. Only 1 person is streaming Descent, and the one English stream holds all 6 English viewers — so the room is quiet because that audience is already committed, not because it is waiting for you.

“Trying to refund after being totally unable to fix this buggy mess. Could not get game speed to adjust correctly. Such a shame. I had fond memories of this game from the 1990's”
