About the 8-Bit Chat Box and Goal Bar Pack

The chat box puts live messages in a pixel frame with clipped corners, a thick border and a hard drop shadow, set in Press Start 2P by default. Emotes are drawn pixelated to match, with a smooth option, and mod, sub and VIP badges sit beside names in each viewer's own color. Messages can pixel-pop in and pixel out, you cap how many stay up and when they fade, bot accounts go on an ignore list, and commands such as !spin can stay hidden.

The goal bar follows one count at a time, followers, subs or bits, and draws it three ways: retro blocks in a number you choose, one smooth fill, or pixel hearts, from one to ten, that fill whole or a column at a time. Pick the target number, where the count starts, an optional head start, the title above the bar and the line shown when you reach it. A sound of your choice can play at that moment. Need a second goal? Add the widget again with another type.

Four themes cover both widgets: a monochrome green inspired by the Game Boy, an NES-style black panel with a white border and red fill, a synthwave purple with magenta and cyan, and a terminal look in matrix green. Each is one paste, and every color is its own field if you would rather build a palette. The border and hearts are drawn in code, so this 8-bit Twitch overlay stays crisp from 720p to 4K, and it also runs on YouTube Live and Facebook Gaming through StreamElements.

what you get

Highlights

  • Three goal styles

    Show progress as retro blocks, a smooth bar or a row of pixel hearts that fill whole or bit by bit.

  • Gifted subs counted right

    A sub bomb adds its real total once, so a burst of gifted subs does not double-count on your sub goal.

  • A sound for the finish

    Pick a sound to fire when you hit the target, set its volume and test it before you go live.

  • Chat that fits the theme

    Pixel pop entrances, mod and sub badges, per-viewer name colors, an ignore list for bots and hidden chat commands.

  • Your colors, any font

    Every color in both widgets is a field, and the font picker swaps Press Start 2P for any other Google Font.

questions

FAQ

Can I run a follower goal and a sub goal at once?

Yes. Add the goal widget a second time and give it a different goal type. Both bars can live in the same overlay, each with its own target and title.

Does it work with YouTube Live?

Yes. The widgets run wherever StreamElements does, which the listing names as Twitch, YouTube Live and Facebook Gaming, inside OBS Studio, Streamlabs Desktop or XSplit.

Do I have to install the pixel font?

No. Press Start 2P loads from Google Fonts on its own, and the font field takes any other Google Font if you want a different look.

Will the widgets slow my stream down?

No. They are a handful of small text files with no video or image assets, and the font is the only thing they fetch from outside.
