@emanate yes. this is good.

@Leucrotta if things are patchy in terms of $, you should keep it for yourself, friend! it means a lot that you want to support us thought 😊​​

@InspectorCaracal@tootplanet.space im super thankful for your work

knowing that they're effectively taking a 30% cut out of $1 patreons is pretty garbage

@HihiDanni@chitter.xyz Sure but the problem behind it is that it still requires a direct amount of effort and skill, to a degree

Idle game design not only opens up accessibility in terms of available time, but in skill levels too

we are prolly gonna pursue a different avenue of $ management than patreon

i wish drip would hurry up and become a viable competitor

we do have a liberapay! thanks again to whoever is putting 5 cents a week in, it's super cool you're doing that imo

if you want to stop using patreon but still want to support us, send me a message and we'll figure something out

But... I feel like the envelope for telling a story is still there in idle game mechanics - the concept on limiting how much effort it takes to advance gives you a way to make engaging difficulty while putting a ceiling on what's needed to get there

If you apply this more broadly, you create games that can actually focus on the story instead of around grinding until you can beat the next boss

I know grinding is satisfying for some folks but not all...

I actually just designed a music game with the boy that leverages advancing the game using idle mechanics, but at its core it's effectively a music game.

You know, idle games have brought up interesting methods of engaging gameplay that other games could leverage to make skill gating less punishing and overall make games more accessible...

@kelseyr713 i guess i'll just have to reset it and see how much it uses in a day!

Really good breakdown on the ramifications of the tax bill and exploring why millennials think our economic system sucks
