...saw this super cool post a little bit ago, and it reminded me of this thing I started making after a conversation with @k00b and about goofy stacking-themed games.
k00b lost interest at some point (probably because he was looking to hire a professional to make a fun 404 screen and I was clearly someone who didn't have the skills or knowledge of the coding industry to properly quote-for or deliver something appropriate, or maybe he just didn't like the overall direction of the draft, or he maybe got too busy, idk, doesn't matter), and I totally forgot about it.
However, I'm totally intrigued by this idea of actually making a video game for profit and have a fun idea if anyone thinks this game has the potential to get cool. So...I'm selling game features. Now, if you're reading this part, make sure to read all of it before doing anything. You request a feature, I approve and you (or anyone else) pays for it by zapping the approval comment. At some point, the game should get pretty fun. I promise to keep the game on the internet as long as possible (in other words, no guarantees whatsoever, but I'll do my best). Here are some stock things you can request:
-
your tombstone - 1000 sats - the player will run into it along the trail just like the original game, your nym from stacker.news will be featured and I might write you an epitaph
-
your tombstone with baller epitaph - 5000 sats - same thing, but I promise to put some time into writing your epitaph and you can make some requests about it
-
news event - 5000 sats - it needs to be at least tangentially related to bitcoin
-
sound effect - 5000 sats - you can guess what this is
-
stop on the trail - 8000 sats - it can be a city, it can be your home
-
a new graphic - 10,000 sats - you can commission a graphic for your favorite shop, enemy, event or any other game feature
-
a new character type - 30,000 sats - it has to be relevant to the game theme
-
a new resource - 30,000 sats - it has to be relevant to the game theme
-
a new type of stop - 40,000 sats - this won't include a new mechanic, but will be a different than a shop or an enemy
-
music - 50,000 sats - i'll make custom music for any game event that you request if for
-
a new game feature - 50,000 sats - this would be a new mechanic like actually zapping and dodging in the "fight" scenes (i'm not making anything here overtly violent since some of the figures satirized are real people and entities)
-
something wacky - name your price and see what happens
Again, I reserve the right to say no for any of this stuff and you only get your feature if you zap the specific approval comment. When it's all said and done, maybe just enjoy playing this demo once and move on with your life.
