I’ve played some Killer Queen and helped put together streaming. Though the tech for Portland’s streaming setup has dramatically improved, the streaming guide is left up for posterity.

introduction

At the Portland scene we like to talk a lot about different things we’ve learned about Killer Queen, and being that the game is effectively a hunk of software we wind up talking a lot about details of its internal implementation. This post is about the software implementation we know about Killer Queen or things we are able to infer about said software. The source code for Killer Queen is locked in a vault somewhere, guarded by a small army of the best speed warriors. As such we can’t say for 100% certainty about everything. The game is a black box where we cannot see inside it. We can make some good guesses though.

introduction

As part of trying to reduce the Portland scene’s bus number in regards to our streaming setup I’ve recorded notes here as best I can. The dream is to have a pretty foolproof setup that anyone mildly technically competent could apply to their scene’s cab. People can and should provide suggestions and corrections so our community can better thrive. As a general policy I won’t use a comment system on this site because static hosting is awesome and also because echo-chamber.js makes an excellent point. Feel free to contact me via email, Twitter, or carrier pigeon for any improvements we can make here.
