Hi guys!  Sometime in 2017, I plan to do a series of live games over Skype or a similar medium of The Chase. I am already setting out some framework for finding Chasers, but the other thing I need is some sort of software I can run to display the graphics of the show and the Head-to-Head Chase table. I have searched around, but can't find anything which is to a good enough quality, so I'd thought I'd turn to you guys to try and help me out. What I'm looking for is if anybody knows of a good piece of software (preferably something which can have 2 live video feeds placed into it) I could use for this. If nobody does know of anything, I wouldn't mind somebody explaining to me how I could make something like this myself using either Flash or HTML5. If anybody would also be willing to help with the project, that would be much appreciated, and full credit will be given. If any software you'd like to suggest contains things that normally would not be shared outside of Fan Games, PM me instead of posting in this thread. Thanks for your time. MLUK |

The first thing I would try is OBS and try streaming on Twitch rather than doing it all over Skype. If you were going to go that route, I think retched would know a lot more about streaming than I do. |

There's a few options to go with doing the live streaming, but yeah I do suggest avoding Skype.
OBS is a great piece of software to use and broadcast it over to Twitch/YouTube/etc. If you're looking for multiple video at one time, Discord (the new VoIP software) is starting to come up with an ability to do just that with Video. If you can afford it, you can also pay for an Infiniscene setup and actually setup your stream there to do the multi-source deal.

I have heard of Discord before, and actually I think that's a route I'll be going down for this project. If I were to use Discord, would I then be able to put the graphics and music of the game straight into that, or would I have to use a separate program? Thanks to you both for your help and suggestions! Back to the actual game control program, I think I'm probably going to have to make something myself. In which case, I'm looking for someone familiar with game control creation to guide me in the right direction. If there's anybody that wouldn't mind doing this, please feel free to send me a PM. I do plan on this game going ahead, although it may take a few months to set everything up. One thing that does need to happen is an audition process for the Chasers. This will be advertised soon, so keep an eye out if you're interested. |

While it doesn't have the two live video feeds, I know a friend who made some Chase software in Powerpoint back some time ago for the Game Show Extravaganzas, will see if he still has that, though if I recall he does not. You probably would want something else for this regardless, but it might serve as some solid framework if it's still out there.
Additionally, I have a strong interest in being a chaser in due time, given my trivia history in this realm. I'm the Shivery Siren, both for my chilling demeanor, but also my ability to destroy your chances by luring you in, much like the characters of the same name in Homer's The Odyssey.

In terms of becoming a Chaser, I am currently writing a test in order to let people audition and test their knowledge. Although, I have considering waiving the test for people who have already proved that they're fit to be a Chaser, but I haven't decided whether to do this or not yet.
Expect to see this posted on the boards somewhere within the next few weeks.

Currently I know one "The Skype Chase": www.youtube.com/user/MrDevajs > This is a game show completely similar to the ITV one, but is spoken in Russian with the Russian Ruble as currency. |

Yes, because in the first episodes they used the "word" WMR. Now they use the Ruble sign. I further didn't research in WMR.
