Ooooh nice! Thanks a lot. I really appreciate that you take the time to explore the mechanics and explain your train of thought. Very exciting and insightful :)

You’re right, I didn’t manage to put much content in it. Too much time went into the UI. Glad you find it pretty at least ^^’

I do not plan to continue it for now. The limited time frame of the 7DRL is important for me, otherwise I feel I could easily sink all my time in it. I’m a bit all or nothing.

Some ideas I had if you’re interested:

  • enemies you can capture in pictures
  • passives gained from things in picture (an incentive to keep pictures)
  • An incentive to optimize the picture taking (bonus if more than X different enemies are in it…)
  • enemies that live far away, but attack each others if together
  • building complex constructions from pictures (maybe electricity wires)
  • things that backfire when manipulated in pictures. And in general a lot more negative+positive trade-offs. …etc.

Too bad your streams are in the middle of night for me. Do you notify the devs before the stream? I actually am in the discord server (even though I’m not really active) and I could be ok to join you at 4a.m if it’s for my game :p

Oooh those sound like a bunch of really fun ideas! I can see sinking all your time into this, could be a nice project (I'm more than a bit all or nothing myself, same issue with avoiding taking on too many different projects despite having a lot of interests...).

While obvious a good amount of work went into the UI at the cost of perhaps more content, I like the balance in that regard since the core mechanic is also still present and fun, and interacting with it was also intuitive and looked good, which requires that UI... 7 days, after all :P

In the past I've generally notified devs before streams, usually though the discord server, though this time since I've been so busy with my own work lately I hadn't made such a close connection with who was developing which 7DRL so would simply post a general announcement a bit in advance and devs would see it and pop in if available, or help notify others. (I also didn't have quite so much prep time of my own for the same reason, and wasn't deciding on games until much closer to stream time this year...). If I'd recalled you were on the server I would've pinged you directly, but yeah didn't recall seeing you around.
