Avatars and community bosses (cloud)

The cloud game adds two things the local game does not have: viewer avatars on stream, and community encounters the whole channel takes on together. Both are configured from the Extension.

Avatars

Viewers build an avatar from a preset body and free cosmetic parts. Every part is free and purely cosmetic, so avatars never turn into a paywall or a stat advantage. A viewer who opts in to appear on stream shows up on the overlay while they watch, up to the per-channel cap you set.

Community encounters and bosses

A community encounter runs for everyone at once, and a boss is just an encounter sized for a crowd. It rides the same encounter definition your solo encounters use, so you author it the same way, then mark it eligible for the community.

Starting one

You can start a community encounter yourself from the Extension, a redeem, a node, or a chat command, or let the auto-spawn scheduler start one on a timer. If you use auto-spawn, keep the guardrails on: live only, with a cooldown, and never during a break. Start with manual spawns until you have a feel for the pacing, then hand it to the scheduler.
