Build a Creature Your Whole Audience Raises 24/7
They feed it, save it, and love it — and that's the business
People don't tip to support a streamer. They act to keep something they love alive.

What this walkthrough gets you
You will build an original creature that lives on a 24/7 stream and is raised by your whole audience, who feed it with free channel points, save it when it gets sick, and tip for the big moments. You direct Claude to build it, so you write nothing from scratch, and the engine, the wiring and the streaming tools are free. It takes about 8 to 12 hours a week for two to four weeks, and the walkthrough has your creature publicly live by around week four.
