Is there any existing technology/framework/standard for publishing high-level game events to a consumer?

Example:

Imagine a game which can publish events like change of level, player joined, player left, final score.

Then theoretically it's possible to have a plugin for e.g. OBS that inserts metadata info into the video it's recording. So you might have, say, video chapters automatically defined for different levels being played.

I had a look and couldn't see much, but maybe I'm not searching for the right term.

If it's on a socket/port/endpoint, the question becomes "which protocol?". There are lots of messaging and notification protocols out there too. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Sep 15, 2023 at 16:26

You haven't really defined a concrete problem to solve so it's hard to give a proper stack exchange answer too. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Sep 15, 2023 at 17:02

    \$\begingroup\$ Some things to consider and edit into your question: Is this publish mechanism event-driven? Or does the client poll? Do you have an OBS module that can pull data in mind? If so, how does it work? Do you only want to publish to the local machine? Or the local network/internet? Is entering a target hostname/IP acceptable? Or do you need zero-configuration? Do you only ever need to send a simple text string? Or might you also want image data like a profile pic/level thumbnail? \$\endgroup\$ Commented Sep 16, 2023 at 3:13
