The year is 3021, faster-than-light travel is possible, and other species in the local cluster of galaxies now mingle. Capitalism is alive and well, and The Company has acquired all other companies. One of its branches deals with the production of clones, called 'Offsets', and The Dandi Line of Offsets is one such project.
Twitch users role play a sometimes-ambiguous role in the fiction, but most of the time they are Quality Assurance testers for the Dandi Line, who observe each iteration of Dandi, and pass or fail them based on their performance. Passed Dandis go off-world to their destiny. Failed Dandis are decommissioned.
Dandi Does It is an LPVG (Live Performance Video Game) created by Dandilion Wind Opaine and Matija Erceg, and controlled remotely by the community of users through chat commands, Twitch cheers, and subs.
See Dandi in action on Twitch TV and watch Matija in the video below share some thoughts behind the new so-called CREDITr system that’s being used on the DandiDoesIt stream. Built in TouchDesigner, this overlay allows for improved feedback to the player community inside of LPVG experiences.
“Dandi Does It is a spectacle of the highest degree. Warm and inviting, the stream makes you feel good—full of Pep, Positivity and Playfulness. The 3D graphic world Dandi inhabits in front of a green screen has blobby forms that chat users can inhabit in her wellness morning programs. There is a friendly floating computer and other organic life including friendly polar bears. This is a fully fleshed out and well written script with really dark dystopian undertones in a fully realized, valued and strategized world of the future.”
