Thank you to all of our players for the time and energy you put into giving us excellent, helpful feedback on how the game has been going! Below, we've assembled a list of ways we intend to incorporate your feedback moving forward.
☆ We are going to post OOC plotting posts 3 days in advance of events.
☆ Additionally, we will endeavor to include a mixture of open-ended and close-ended event prompts so that players aren't left feeling unable to engage the event while waiting on event wrap-up. Any open-ended elements of the events that require check-in or vote will be included on the OOC plotting post rather than the log, and the deadlines will be made clear in multiple locations.
☆ We want to provide you with more information about what daily life is like on the basecamp With this in mind, we expanded a prompt on our Test Drive Meme to include more information about what daily life is like on the basecamp. This prompt information will be expanded and developed over time into a new info page, so keep an eye out! In addition, we will include small daily life bullets on the hatching logs that suggest specific, smaller events and more granular happenings around camp for that month which give an impression of the overall vibe. As always, if you are looking for more information, please don't hesitate to pop by our FAQ post.
☆ We plan to post new test drive memes for every application round. However, to account for the workload involved and to avoid repetition with our hatching logs, these test drives will be more standardized and uniform than they have been in the past. Each TDM post will feature one new sub-heading, and more of our creative energy will be directed towards the hatching logs. As discussed here, to incentivize play, current players can use their TDM threads for bonus AC (but not for normal AC).
☆ We have updated our MOD CONTACT page — we will no longer be checking the mod email for these purposes. Please reach out to use via DM or our Mod Contact post if you have a concern and need to chat with us privately.
☆ Ideally, we would like to respond to player questions within 24 hours; however, we recognize this as aspirational. We do, however, check the mod inbox every 1-3 days and make sure each of the mods are updating their duties multiple times per week. Thank you for your patience as we find a rhythm that works for us.
☆ Those of you who submitted trope preferences, we are looking at ways to incorporate these into upcoming events! On the whole, players expressed interest in events that force characters to depend on one another, events that highlight ideological differences and provoke conflict between characters, events that involve exploring outside the basecamp, events involving resource scarcity, and events that develop the overall worldbuild or address some mysteries.
Thank you again to everyone who took the time to respond here and provide feedback. We appreciate all the work you do to help us make this community run!
