Garry's Mod on Twitch — competition and audience

SimulatorIndieSandbox

Garry's Mod is a physics-based sandbox game built on Valve's Source engine. In its base mode, there are no objectives. Players can spawn non-player characters, ragdolls, and props, then manipulate them using a physics gun that can pick up, rotate, and freeze objects in place. A tool gun provides additional functionality such as welding objects together or adjusting facial expressions on ragdolls. The game supports extensive Lua-based modding, and community-created game modes like Trouble in Terrorist Town and Prop Hunt have become widely popular in their own right. Originally released as a free mod for Half-Life 2 in 2004, it became a standalone commercial release in 2006 and holds the record as the best-selling PC-exclusive game.

Should I stream Garry's Mod on Twitch?

6/100 · Closed off· 26 viewers per streamer on paper

Not really. Almost all of the 34 people watching Garry's Mod in English are already committed to the streams they are on, leaving about 11 across 8 other English streams. You would start around #9 of 57.

About 11 of the 34 English viewers here are not watching the two biggest English streams — roughly 1 each if you split it with the 8 other English streams below them. With ten viewers you would sit at #9.

Only 34 of the 1,426 viewers here (2%) are watching in English. 10 of the 56 live streams are in English.

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.

“I downloaded this game thinking I was gonna build cool stuff. 300 hours later I’m putting a toaster in a bathtub while my friend is getting launched across the map by a chair. I have no idea what happened to my life, but I’m having a great time.”

“It’s that sort of game where you start playing without knowing what you’re going to do, and end up spending hours doing something completely random, the sheer number of mods, maps and game modes is mindboggling, and playing with friends makes it all even more…”
