Game Feedback

 It has arrived -- the end of our trial month. Drum roll, please!

We want to know what you think! Having fun? Regrets? Suggestions? This is your official invitation to lay it out there.

We also have a few specific questions we'd like everyone to answer:
  • Would you like more mod-created events for your characters to react to, or would you like to keep the game action more player-driven?
  • We're thinking of putting together a "Welcome to Burby" guide that new characters can find in the lobby of the hotel. Would that be helpful? Anything in particular you'd like to see in it?
Thank you again, darling test players. As a token of our gratitude, have some cake.

Definitely having fun!

I think more events would probably help. Maybe alternate between events in Burby and the events in the other worlds? Since the characters got here through the faerie circles, I think it'd be interesting if you introduced some faerie NPCs at some point, too!

Also, yes to the guide! If anything, we could turn that into an event where the characters go exploring the area together and make the guide themselves, too.

Hope that was helpful!

Very helpful, thanks! :D And I kinda like the idea of having making the guide be an event.

Oh man, I love the "creating our own guide" idea. And I agree that more events would be helpful. It'd be nice to have some reason to have the characters come together and work with and learn about each other. I have definitely been having a lot of fun, though. I can't think of anything negative I'd like to change after this month.

Although I would love if we had these sort of mod-check-in/discussion type posts say, every six months or so? Then you can see what's changed in the game over a length of time and maybe there'll be new suggestions and stuff.

EDITED: Oh wait, I do have one thing. I'd love to see a planning post for each pocket canon go up before the event post so people can, you know, plan stuff! :D

I like the idea of ongoing mod-check-in posts. :D And when Marion gets back, we'll definitely talk about more events and probably a calendar of some kind.

As for pocket canon plotting, the original idea is that y'all can pretty much just decide to go into pocket canons without it being a mod-driven thing. This current one was mod-driven mostly to test out the concept. So if you one day decided "Hey, it'd be fun to throw Lin into the world of Criminal Minds," you'd basically just ping us to say "Hey, this is something I want to do" and then find someone to play a Criminal Minds NPC. But especially since we're so small right now, I'll talk to Marion about having more of them that are game-wide.

Hmm, I didn't realize you were meaning it as smaller personal things. It might be more fun to do it in a group, I'd think? Especially while we're tiny. After all, people might not think, "Oh, this would be fun to do!" but if someone else had proposed it, they might get excited! So definitely keep that in mind.<3
