jeremy // making Star Spark

@Gamrok @Mastodon I would definitely appreciate this as well :)

@KazuShuSora@social.tchncs.de @TheEddieShow@beige.party Yeah, I recall this being a big hurdle for onboarding when people were leaving Twitter. There was also an “it’s like Twitter + Discord” analogy going around (just because of the word “server” 🫠) which only caused further confusion. I’d think if the average person and their friends signed up and all of their server handles were different they’d be confused by that too. Better to have a low barrier of entry with the ability to switch later imo.

@imnotafeline@mastodon.online I think a lot of people will have the sense to do that, but they’re definitely banking on the people who are just gonna groan and stay.

I'm not 100% sure I'll go with it either, but it seems to make the most sense to me at the moment. At the very least I thought it'd be worth trying out :) If you're interested, you can wishlist Star Spark on Steam: 🌟 https://s.team/a/3639950 🧵 3/3

I wasn't entirely sure about doing it this way since this is a run-based game, so I thought I'd give deck-building a try. Deck-building is what most players are going to be used to in a run-based game. You choose what cards to add to your deck and it just grows versus having to edit it in a menu when you get a new card. It's also got the benefit of letting players actually play the game without having to fully understand it. 🧵 2/3

@Gargron@mastodon.social Thanks for everything, Eugen! This has been one of the few projects that has helped make the internet better. I get it and I’m glad you’re not stepping away entirely.
