TwitchTV annoucned recently that they were releasing an SDK where mobile game developers could use it to add the ability to stream live gameplay from within mobile games. While it is already possible to stream to TwitchTV with mobile games, its a real pain in the ass to set up for the most part. This new SDK allows the functionality to be built right into mobile games.
One thing that has been a pretty major pain in the ass is trying to live stream mobile games on services like TwitchTV. Generally you have to come up with your own solutions to get this to work and half the time it is generally too slow to run through an emulator or anything like that. Lag is another issue half the time. The advent of Android-powered micro-consoles has helped this a bit though.
TwitchTV’s application on Google Play will soon be getting an update that will allow you to follow your favorite streamers that you like to watch. It has been well stated that the application has been missing a few key features that users would have liked to have seen when it originally launched and hopefully this is the beginning of bringing some of those features to the app.
Interesting news today as TwitchTV and Kabam have formed a partnership to bring Kabam game discovery and gameplay to the live game streaming service. This partnership integrates both of those factors not only into the web version of TwitchTV but also into the Android application as well.
For those of you looking towards the upcoming 0.7.0 update and the main feature that will start rolling out with the update which is Minecraft Pocket Realms, Mojang’s new service to allow Minecraft: Pocket Edition players the ability to experience true miiltiplayer gaming and even rent out their own servers, Johan Bernhardsson will be live streaming via TwitchTV in the next few minutes
So today marks the first of many livestreams to come over at our TwitchTV channel. We’ve finally started it up and what you’ll find over there will be us playing Android games, whether they were just released, old classics or previews of upcoming games not even released yet.
The TwitchTV Android app received its first update today that resolves one of the biggest gripes individuals had with the app. We mentioned in our review how TwitchTV only played back lower quality streams regardless of how good your connection was. With today’s update, TwitchTV now allows for a higher resolution option for devices running versions of Android prior to 3.2 Honeycomb.
TwitchTV launched an application for Android in beta status a few weeks ago and since then we have had plenty of time to muck around with this new application. For those of you who are not familiar with TwitchTV, it is another service offered by Justin.TV but is completely gaming related.
TwitchTV, which is the gaming arm of Justin.TV, has finally come to Android. The TwitchTV Android app can be downloaded for free from Google Play. It requires devices to have at least Android 2.2 and takes up 6.5MBs of storage.
