      <guid>https://forem.com/rebuff/rebuff-twitch-extension-is-now-live-20i0</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;We are happy to announce that the &lt;a href="https://dashboard.twitch.tv/extensions/fu1301ve9ochibw64zhyzhlmjuv4uu-0.0.2" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Re:Buff Twitch Extension&lt;/a&gt; is now live! It is a game-changing tool for Streamers, Artists, and Indie Game Developers to collaborate and create new, engaging, and memorable experiences.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F0eic1tertzkr2ty4xr9n.gif" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F0eic1tertzkr2ty4xr9n.gif" alt="PixelArt: GameAssets, Spritesheet, Emotes, Emojis" width="343" height="100"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The new Re:Buff extension enables viewers to browse through shared pixel art collections right during the stream and directly via the stream Overlay. Pixel art can be shared by any streamer, whether you are the Creator, an Indie Game Developer, or a daily Streamer, to bring even more great new content and engagement for viewers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fzs3m5wfd8iytbilnd9l1.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fzs3m5wfd8iytbilnd9l1.png" alt="Interactive PixelArt Items" width="800" height="444"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Key Features
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Twitch is all about community, and the Re:Buff Extension helps to connect with the viewers. Here’s what makes it so special:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Flexible Showcasing:&lt;/strong&gt; Extension activates as an Overlay or a Panel (+Mobile friendly version). Looking good both on dark and light themes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fgf8qans2gfnxsl0cfjwx.gif" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fgf8qans2gfnxsl0cfjwx.gif" alt="Overlay PixelArt Galler Live on Stream" width="406" height="720"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Interactive Feedback:&lt;/strong&gt; Viewers can leave comments or suggestions on the shared pixel art without ever leaving the stream. The feedback goes straight to the pixel art creator, and is visible during and after the stream. And you can set one as a title, with a single click.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fehrz4jz4luc9us5k3ndm.gif" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fehrz4jz4luc9us5k3ndm.gif" alt="Image description" width="314" height="280"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Collaborate and Grow:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;As a Streamer, you can collaborate with pixel Artists and Indie Game Dev-s to showcase their art or game assets, bringing new and exciting content to your audience.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;As an Artist or a Game Developer, it’s a fantastic way to gain visibility and connect with new fans early in a different way.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fnj003su3l0fgiom9540k.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fnj003su3l0fgiom9540k.png" alt="GameAssets Commenting" width="456" height="624"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Welcome to re:buff - a Place for Legendary Experiences, Pixel Art and Video Gaming</title>
      <dc:creator>PixelSurfer</dc:creator>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;This new space is here to bring creators from various fields together to collaborate, fostering a mutually supportive environment, and reaching that synergy spark, that makes a difference.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  The backstory
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In the rapidly evolving digital landscape, creators are the driving force behind innovation and cultural transformation. From indie game developers to AAA studios, creators' unique contributions shape the future of entertainment, art, and technology. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;However, despite creators' incredible potential, many face significant challenges in finding sustainable opportunities for growth and meaningful engagement.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The platform has successfully secured an award from a hackathon and continued to refine its core vision despite some unmet promises from the organizer and a change in the decision during the Accelerator. The organizer later presented our vision at an event featuring pitches from Accelerator participants.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Pushing the limits
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The re:buff goes beyond the hype of AI and blockchain, focusing on building technology that empowers creators and supports a mutually supportive, sustainable creative economy with a recuperation effect.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A developed extension for Twitch — an exciting and rewarding experience, has further solidified the collaborative nature of re:buff. At the same time, we are on the brink of introducing payments, designed to support artists through revenue sharing and a recuperative economy at its core — ensuring that every creator's effort is rewarded, directly or indirectly.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Join the league
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We invite you to explore this exciting way of engaging with Pixel Art and the fun surrounding it at &lt;a href="https://rebuff.cc" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;re:buff&lt;/a&gt; with us.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Special thanks
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Special thanks go to &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/beast_pixels" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;@beast_pixels&lt;/a&gt; for the amazing art, which allowed us to showcase our platform and share it with the world.&lt;/p&gt;
