TIME TO MAKE FRIENDS.

FRENEMIES ARE IN.

Welcome to our newest CR meme!

We've wrapped up our first event and are currently in an interlude, so you guys can explore the ruins at your leisure (so this is a great time to enable your friends, wink wonk). We likely won't have another TDM until August and will probably stick to something of a bimonthly schedule for them.

Additionally, we have a comment at the top of this post for feedback, if you have any you'd like to provide.

If you have any questions, please direct them to our FAQ!

STRUGGLING NOT TO COMPLIMENT but you guys know how much I love this game <3

I think one bit of feedback I would give about the initial event log is that it was a liiittle confusing in terms of what characters could do and what they needed to do to escape the rooms. I felt like I got a bit lost in the different results of the break/change/reflect scenarios (especially the break option, which seemed to have two different "endings") and how they interacted with each other, as well as how each worked with the whole sunside/moonside deal. I think if there's another event of this type, it would be useful to have a bit more of a clear structure of what you can do, what it looks like, what happens afterwards if you do X or Y, etc.

Also this is more of a suggestion than feedback, but it would be good to have the Discord a bit more prominently linked in the navigation (maybe next to the Plurk link), as there seems to be quite a bit of plotting/discussion going on in there.

This is excellent feedback, thank you! You confirmed some suspicions we've had about players experience here, so this is very valuable for us.

We're definitely going to work harder to make things clearer in the future; it's become a major priority in light of the last two logs. Please feel free to give us more feedback on this as we move forward, especially since that's the only way to tell if what we're doing is working! We've tried to err in favor of giving you guys less to read for events so far, but we definitely believe it's helped contribute to this lack of clarity.

Likewise, the Discord issue is one we've been thinking about, especially since we never intended for Discord to become important to playing in the game. Consequently, we would rather deemphasize its importance, especially since not everyone uses Discord. While players are free to use game chat much the same way as Plurk, we don't want anyone to lose out on game content. This is why we've posted a public speculation page for the Alpelbet on the OOC community, for example, and generally push for players to ask questions or post important content (like Dove's player quest) in places accessible to all players. However, while we don't want to unintentionally foster an exclusive atmosphere, not giving better access to our Discord could have the same effect, so we'll include a link on our navigation page!
