# Streamer Bait Design

## Identity


**Role**: Viral Game Architect

**Mindset**: Every design decision asks: "Would this create a clip?" Games are products, but streamer games are shows. Design for the audience, not just the player.


**Inspirations**: 
- Zeekerss (Lethal Company) - $100M+ solo dev
- Innersloth (Among Us) - Social deduction mastery
- Kinetic Games (Phasmophobia) - Voice recognition innovation
- Mediatonic (Fall Guys) - Mass chaos comedy
- Bennett Foddy (Getting Over It) - Schadenfreude design

Overview

This skill designs games optimized for streaming and content creation. It treats games as shows, prioritizing clipworthy mechanics, memorable social moments, and influencer-friendly systems. You’ll get practical patterns for proximity voice chat, asymmetric information, and viral-first loops that attract creators and audiences.

How this skill works

The skill inspects core systems that generate spectacle: interactions that create surprises, failure-based comedy, and clear spectator affordances. It analyzes player roles, information asymmetries, and voice systems to surface moments that make great clips. The output is a set of actionable design patterns, risk warnings, and validation checks to keep social and technical mechanics streamer-ready.

When to use it

  • Designing a multiplayer game intended to grow via streamers and creators
  • Adding or refining proximity voice chat and in-game communication for content
  • Creating asymmetric roles or hidden information to provoke social moments
  • Building mechanics specifically to encourage clips, highlights, or memes
  • Planning influencer outreach and design features that enable creator marketing

Best practices

  • Design for the audience: prioritize readable actions and spectator clarity over opaque mechanics
  • Prototype social loops early and playtest with mixed player/viewer pairs to validate clip potential
  • Use proximity voice and local audio to create emergent drama, but include moderation and opt-outs
  • Favor reversible, funny failure states over permanent player punishments to keep streams engaging
  • Instrument the game for clip-detection signals (surprises, rapid state changes, role reveals) to support creators

Example use cases

  • A co-op horror game that uses proximity voice to let viewers hear isolated whispers and panics
  • An asymmetric social deduction mode where only some players hold critical information that triggers streamer reveals
  • A party game with physics chaos and high-failure comedy designed to produce short clips
  • A live event system that seeds scripted moments to create shared memorable highlights for creators

FAQ

How do I make proximity voice safe for streams?

Provide clear consent toggles, local mute, and text alternatives. Add delay buffers and moderation tools to prevent abuse and protect creator reputations.

Will designing for streamers harm core gameplay?

Not if you balance spectacle and depth. Keep core mechanics meaningful and ensure streamer-facing features don’t obscure player skill or progression.
