Twungeon
A Twitch-controlled cooperative dungeon game where viewers share a live world, control individual characters, and discover whether the core loop is worth building into a full game.
Twungeon is a Twitch-controlled cooperative dungeon game. Viewers watch a
shared dungeon on the stream while controlling their own characters through a
Twitch Extension. Followers join intentionally with !spawn, take turns using
simple action points, fight or evade a Goblin Guard, and cooperate to reach the
exit.
Concept image illustrating the intended mature stream and viewer experience.
The MVP is designed to prove the complete interaction loop with real Twitch viewers: eligibility, identity binding, spawning, movement, combat, healing, death, Channel Points resurrection, floor advancement, and total-party reset. It uses a deliberately small two-room floor with one Goblin Guard so the project can test the social game idea before investing in balance, polish, progression, or production art.
The stream-facing experience has three required regions: a compact
control/status area, the shared game view, and a running action log. When no
players are active, the current floor remains loaded in a dormant state and
invites an eligible follower to type !spawn.
The runnable proof of concept uses an authoritative TypeScript game core, deterministic two-room floor generation, HTTP and WebSocket boundaries, and a shared broadcast/controller interface. Twurple supplies the production Twitch boundary for chat, follower verification, Channel Points redemptions, and a Twitch Extension identity flow. The RPGJS boundary remains an authority-free render adapter rather than a completed engine integration.
The product source of truth is the Twungeon MVP Product Requirements Document. The approved technical specification defines the authoritative architecture and game behavior. The acceptance-test and build checklist sequences implementation and maps evidence to all 33 MVP success criteria.
The repository can run locally with synthetic viewer identities and has passing lint, type-check, domain, integration, and production-build gates. This is a proof of concept, not an accepted MVP: live Twitch credentials, independent setup, first-time-viewer usability, and real-viewer concept validation have not yet produced acceptance evidence.
Four-player parties reform each floor with rolling turns
Twungeon now enforces four fixed party slots, reforms the party between floors, uses a five-second rolling player-phase timer, and presents consistent player colors in responsive desktop and mobile Extension layouts.
Read devlog →Private operations arrive with graceful viewer disconnects
Twungeon gained a private, authenticated operator console and last-socket disconnect handling that sends absent viewers directly into AutoGuard instead of delaying every player phase.
Read devlog →Twungeon controls move into the Twitch video overlay
Twungeon replaced its component-style viewer popup with a transparent, responsive Twitch video overlay that reuses the authenticated controller while leaving the streamed dungeon visible.
