Creating First Livestream Chess

Livestream chess wasn’t a thing until we recently completed a game build for a client with this feature set. SkyPoint Studios recently completed a project for a client that is the World’s first livestream chess game.

This was a large project for us and took several months to complete. We are very excited to announce that we have completed the design and construction of the game. It is a big project for us to figure out how to do livestreaming in addition to a chess game.

This was something new for our studio as we have done games in the past but this is the largest feature we’ve implemented into a game. If you’re looking to have a custom application created such as a game or a software application, get a hold of us.

We are very good at executing these applications in a timely manner and getting the project through to completion. This project had to be done in several different types of software code for us to figure out what would be the best type of code to work with live streaming video.

First we built the game in Unity and that allowed us to have a very good game mechanics but not allow us to do the proper type of live stream we wanted to do. So, we had to rebuild the whole game in the browser using Node.js.

This allowed us to run livestreaming in the browser like any other website does but also allow us to play the chess game in JavaScript. Now the game is able to be played on any device, on any browser and anywhere in the World and still livestream properly.

We’re very excited about the execution of this software project and looking forward to doing many more like this in the future. Do you have a game that you want to develop? Do you have something unique that you want to bring into the World with software or mobile apps?

We are the ones to help you execute your vision! Get a hold of us here on our contact page. We look forward to discussing your projects with you very soon! (:

Jophiel grew up on a ranch in Paradise Valley, Montana near Chico Hot Springs. Working on the ranch instilled work ethic and self motivation. Filled with this drive, Jophiel started mowing the local school's yards twice a month throughout the summers, at the age of 12. He moved to Billings in 2004, where he has been deeply involved in the local business community ever since. A serial entrepreneur, Jophiel has ran multiple businesses in our local community. The first business, a janitorial and carpet cleaning company, founded in 2005, has employed over 50 locals. Moving on to the media industry, Jophiel and several partners founded Green Directory Montana in the spring of 2007. Green Directory's sustainability ranking software awarded points based on sustainable or "green" actions. These points counted towards a business's total "Green Score," which in turn ranked them against other businesses in their category and throughout the entire site. It also featured a limited edition print version distributed annually. A business acquisition allowed Jophiel to focus on new projects, and a few close business colleagues and Jophiel started Rocky Mountain Mr. & Ms. Magazine, a lifestyle publication for men and women in the Magic City. After a year and a half at the helm of RM3 Magazine, the business was purchased. He now runs a web development company SkyPoint Studios and fathers his son Jaoquin, who plays football, basketball, soccer, and is learning snowboarding from his dad. Recently, has expanded to locations in Havasu, Arizona & Vegas. SkyPoint Studios is a market leader in both Billings & Havasu and Jophiel is working on building that same level of market dominance in Vegas. Specialties: Extensive experience in online and offline business. Especially savvy at WordPress, and operate several sites, one example is the blog: skypointwebdesignbillingsmontana.com/tech-blog.
