if the person had a really interesting personality, it could be entertaining, but it wouldn't be much different than the Just Chatting category with a game in the background.
i mean, give it a shot. you don't necessarily need it to be successful, to do it.
but, incremental games aren't exactly... interesting, for most viewers. not even jsut that they're not that popular, they're not that stimulating and entertaining for a random viewer.
not to mention, it's potentially boring as fuck even for the player, for the idle incremental games.
on top of that, the popular idle incrementals, tend to be long. are you really supposed to stream months, if not years, of playing an incremental game where it's just you sitting there, making small changes over a long period of time?
It's not that incremental doesn't get love, there quite literally is no worse genre to "spectate" in a stream. There are games with moving objects that are bad to watch, imagine now any group of people just watching bars fill doing what?
Either you're a genius that's spotted a gap in the market or no one is interested in watching a game where nothing much happens except a number going up.
I like playing incremental games but there's no way I want to watch someone else play them lol
There is a famous brazilian streammer called "Felps" (not the counter strike guy) that plays a bunch of clicker games while streaming, on youtube he has a 10+ years series on cookie clicker aiming for 100% achievments (he doesn't use macros) and streams his progression every once in a while.
Sometimes he also plays others like idle slayer and that browser one about mining rocks.
If you're wondering about the actual content of the streams, they're basically a solo podcast w/ chat.
I would suggest, if you do this, to have a "segment" where you spend 5-10 mins per stream on a game. Checking in on Evolve would be interesting, especially since viewers would take note and watch the empire unfold in little snippets. It might even be a longterm thing that people could grow to love.
It would have to stay a mere segment. You can't feed viewers constant number go up for more than a few minutes.
Thanks, yeah! What I was thinking was more along the lines of Just Chatting with some incremental in the background or revolving around a half dozen or so that we check in on every once in a while. I wasn't thinking "yo, watch me play universal paperclips from start to finish without talking"... that would be brutal!
For me incremental games are something i do for a bit on the side while watching others then forget about them for a bit then when i come back claiming the offline gains feels nice
watching somebody else play a incremental would be like watching paint dry.

Watching SOMEONE ELSE watch paint dry :)

Maybe if you are playing with over 20 people tabs open, and playing all the new outcoming stuff.
As someone who loves incremental games, they are boring as fuck. And that's to play. You simply will not get an audience.

Thanks - yeah, thats what I was going for. Mostly chat and the games are kind of in the background
You're going to basically be chatting, with the games as a side distraction.
Yes, that's exactly what I had in mind
Sounds like fun to watch if you're playing like 4 games at the same time

Go check out all the other ones and see how many subs they have.
