What’s the actual interest in streams?
As far as I can tell, game jams are usually fairly self-contained within their community. It’s not like there are lots of random fans who would watch people stream themselves making games over a weekend, with very few notable exceptions (e.g. Notch). Or, at least to my understanding.
Am I correct in this thinking? I’m trying to decide whether or not it’s worth my time to stream, or to simply make a timelapse.

I’ve logged into livestreams concerning coding and art and I’ve learned loads from that. I never usually stay for hours but there are tons of great things you can pick up.

I agree with the above.

The people most likely to watch (us Ludumites) will be busy making games. I’d recommend recording it rather than expecting a big audience while live streaming.
