Yea, I suppose it couldn’t hurt to send an email about it. But perhaps, first, I should continue development until it’s more presentable. My main concern was wondering if I’d be wasting my time developing something that end up would burying me in legal issues.
But push come to shove, it seems we don’t actually have to use twitch assets. We could simply have a disclaimer, and our own text/graphics which don’t represent twitch, following the guidelines to make sure it’s a safe enough distance from representing them in any way. Can’t really get around using the text “Twitch” somewhere, though… Seeing as the game is basically centered around it.
It’s also possible to change our backend to have our own separate login system, but it’d certainly be a more cumbersome and less secure method of verifying a user’s twitch account.
Hopefully, however, they’ll respond stating that they won’t mind a simple logo + disclaimer combo. That’ll just make life easier for us, as well as our users.
