Twitch Drops

Twitch Drops makes it easy to reward your players for watching your game on Twitch.

Overview

The overall process for Twitch Drops is as follows:

1. Player watches a stream on Twitch and receives a reward

2. In the drops page on Twitch, the player presses Connect

3. They are redirected to the LootLocker authentication page where they can sign in with their account using Steam, Epic etc.

4. After signing in, they will link their Twitch account to their LootLocker account

5. The player can now receive claimed rewards in-game

Pre-requisites

To get started with Twitch Drops, you need to have the following:

• An organization, game and application in the Twitch developer console

• A game in LootLocker

Configuration

1. Configure Unified Player Accounts for your game, this is used to allow the player to authenticate during the Twitch link process.

2. Configure LootLocker for Twitch Drops, navigate to the Twitch Drops settings page in the LootLocker web console.

3. Set up a drops campaign in the Twitch developer console. This includes creating a new campaign, setting up the rewards, and configuring the campaign settings.

4. Link the Twitch campaign rewards to LootLocker rewards. Navigate to the Twitch Rewards page in the LootLocker web console and create rewards for each reward you created on Twitch.

Integration in Game

After players have claimed their rewards on Twitch, they will automatically get the reward on their player in LootLocker.

Depending on the reward type, you may need to implement additional logic in your game to use those rewards:

• Assets: If the reward is an asset type, use the Asset system.

• Progression: If the reward is a progression type, use the Progression system.

• Currency: If the reward is a currency item, use the Currency system.

If you want to notify them of this in the game itself, you can implement LootLocker Notifications in your game.

The notification source will be twitch_drop.
