Norway Speedrunner Gathering

From 2024, I've been a volunteer stream tech for the Norway Speedrunner Gathering. For its Fall 2024 iteration, I rebuilt its broadcast graphics solution with a fresh design and backend built from scratch.

Before NSG, I'd never built broadcast graphics for a speedrunning marathon before! Creating control surfaces and graphics for a completely new kind of event was an intriguing challenge, but I was able to draw from my previous experience running a few previous marathons to help me along the way.

I owe a lot to the Speedcontrol and GDQ development teams for keeping their work as open as they do - Knowing the internals of their graphics packages was a great help in building this event's graphics backend. This source code for this event's graphics are available here on GitHub.

These graphics integrate with a bunch of services behind the scenes to show off as much information about the event as possible - Oengus for schedule info, the GDQ donation tracker for donation, prizing and incentive data, OBS Studio for broadcast automation tasks and more.

I'm thrilled to be a part of the delightful team of volunteers at NSG! Together, we've raised tens of thousands of Norwegian krone for The Norwegian Association of the Blind and Partially Sighted and are looking forward to raising more in the future.
