Retro Creator

Live overlay studio for retro-gaming streams — powered by real gameplay data.

Retro Creator turns what actually happens in your retro games — current game, live score, timers, lives, RetroAchievements, inputs — into polished stream overlays and live automations, without writing a single line of code.

It is built on top of RetroBat APIExpose and its open Data/Event SDK.

What it does

  • Visual designer — compose overlays with ready-made widgets (score, timer, now playing, boxart, achievement popups, input viewer…), themes and animations.
  • Works with your streaming setup — overlays are served locally as standard browser sources, compatible with OBS Studio, Streamlabs Desktop, Meld Studio and any software that renders web pages.
  • Live automations — gameplay events can trigger your existing tools: Streamer.bot, Stream Deck, Touch Portal, webhooks, Discord, MQTT / Home Assistant and more.
  • Local first — no account, no cloud required. Your data stays on your machine.
  • English & French interface, more languages to come.
