Pixel Companions - Chaturbate App

[NaomiNSFW]

Introduction​

• I just released a paid version of the app that won the 2024 Chaturbate App Hackathon contest.
• The price is one time payment of 333 tokens which I think is reasonable considering the time that's been put into it .
• This isn't a subscription. Once you have it you have it for life and i'm gonna keep adding stuff for free as time goes on.
• If you're interested there are more details below.

Pixel Companions Premium​

This app builds on what's available in the free version but includes some extra stuff for those who have already tried the free version and want more.

New Companions​

8 brand new Companions are included including some "Exclusive Companions" which are player specific. You can charge a much higher price for these.

Backdrops​

Backdrops have been included which can go behind the Companions to add a theme to your room or celebrate an occasion such as Christmas / Halloween.

Totems​

Totems are Avatars which pop up whenever any of the following events happen:

1. User purchases media
2. User joins your Fanclub
3. User follows you

They can help you keep track of your streams without having to view text chat all the time.

Other Features​

• 20 unique custom messages instead of 5
• The option to give Moderators access to custom Pixel Companions
• The option to give Fanclub members a free Companion when they join

To install search "Pixel Companions Premium" in the Chaturbate app directory.​

Read the apps description for more details including how to purchase.​

I should note as well if you haven't tried the app yet the premium version includes all the free features so you can kind of try before you buy. If you're curious why the price is 333 tokens it's mainly because the app is quite niche so I don't expect many purchases, Chaturbate has fairly high transfer fees and this project is a lot more complicated and took a lot more time than I was expecting. Partly due to the constraints of Chaturbates own Sandbox you have to develop in.

If you're a new streamer and 333 tokens is too much feel free to message me and I can consider other methods such as including a small banner on your page to advertise the app.

Thanks all

• I've decided to lower the price to 222 tokens for the end of January and all of February.
• Anyone who paid 333 tokens will be refunded 111 to account for this.
• This will go back up to 333 tokens on March the 1st
• This is an initial release so it would be impossible to guarantee it's completely bug free so I figured this lower price can hopefully reflect this.
• Remember once you have it you own it for life .
• Love y'all. Stay safe

Just wanted to say I've seen your plugin in a few models rooms now and it's quite cool. Very well done.

Bug fix - Generating Companions after tipping​

If anyone has been having issues where users can't generate a new Companion after tipping I apologise. I've just fixed the issue so if you update it should work now.

Merged Premium app into the main one​

I've merged the premium app into the main one. I was worried about doing this due to the possible appearance of bugs but now i'm confident after fixing that bug that things are working relatively well. It also means you wont need to manually re-install the app.

• Back to 333 again sorry . I think i'm underselling myself after I figured out what the conversion rate would be after paying SEPA transfer fees. No purchases yet so it's not affected anyone.
• On that note i'm also offering a free trial of premium features if anyone is curious. Trial lasts about 2 weeks and should give you an idea of what on offer without having to read what is now a very long app description.

Gift Command​

• I just added a gift command so you can give users a reward for certain actions manually.
• To use it type /companion gift [user] [companion] [colour] into chat. If you gave Moderators privileges in the settings they will also be able to do this.
• Note that when a user is gifted a Companion it is displayed in chat to all users to make sure Moderators don't abuse this command.
• An example of using the command could be /companion gift naominsfw runner which would give the user "naominsfw" the "runner" Companion in a random colour. /companion gift naominsfw runner yellow would do the same thing but also declare a specific colour.

I made a showcase of some of the new features and Avatars :3

King Tipper crown & bug fixes​

• The highest tipper for the show or of all time now gets a special crown. Hopefully helps y'all single out who's tipping the most easily without checking chat.
• A couple bug fixes, including issues with Exclusive Companions not immediately switching, issues when the gift command is used with the "@" character preceding the username & the custom message box not placing itself in-front of other visible Companions (I thought I fixed this but found a rare edge case).

¡He traducido toda la aplicación al español!​

He usado un traductor automático por lo que no será perfecto, pero noté que muchas modelos de habla hispana tienen la aplicación instalada, por lo que tiene sentido ofrecer una versión en este idioma.

I've translated the entire app into spanish!​

I've used an automatic translator so it wont be perfect but I noticed a lot of Spanish speaking models have the app installed so it makes sense to offer a version in this language

2 new backdrops are included in version 2.6. "Japanese City" and "Clouds".
If y'all have any suggestions for new backdrops feel free to let me know.

Credits for the assets used in these backdrops can be found at https://bit.ly/pixelcompanions & in the apps info / settings page. All are free for commercial use.

Hi @Stella_SC. I was thinking recently about porting Pixel Companions to other platforms as well like Stripchat, Joystick.tv etc... I can do so for Joystick but I was wondering if it would be possible with Stripchat. I know how to do this using a basic scraper on a performers live page and i've used it before for personal projects with permission but i'm wondering if this would be ok?

It would only collect very basic info with permission from the performer like if a user tips and the amount & whether they get a new follower. If this data is already available in a different format such as via an affiliate program or API that could be a better alternative as well.

I hesitate to ask Stripchat support because i've tried before multiple times but they always re-direct me to articles about the pre-made Stripchat games and that's not what i'm talking about.
All Chaturbate Apps are licensed as MIT-0 by Chaturbate which means there shouldn't be any legal concerns about creating a port, only where I choose to advertise it.

Just a quick heads up. Searching "Pixel Companions Premium" in the Chaturbate app directory is not recommended anymore.
Just search "Pixel Companions" or follow this link: https://chaturbate.com/v2apps/apps/023e4d2c-pixel-companions

As a gift to this community if you input sponge820 as the registration code in the settings you can test the apps paid version till April 4th

Big Milestone

15000 installs! Thank you everyone who's given it a try, continues to use it, helped test, given feedback or left a review.
It's all helped motivate me to make it better as I go along.



Version 3

I'm hoping to release version 3 during April / May. This is going to hopefully come with a bunch of new features for paid users:

• Support for ticket shows - A little ticket icon should appear above the users avatar to show they've purchased one
• Repeated announcements - A Totem Avatar will pop up in a similar way to when a follower joins or a user purchases media sharing a scheduled announcement message.You can use this as a way to advertise certain sites, remind users of certain rules etc...
• Ability to send custom messages - Users can tip to send a message and if approved by the Broadcaster or a Mod it can be displayed as a text bubble.
• Better Multi-Cam Support - It's impossible at the moment to automatically give users a Companion from a different site but adding the option to manually give an Avatar to a user from a different site like Stripchat easily in a quick way is a high priority.
• New Companions & Backdrops :3
