Postmortem on day 1 of indiegameaday:
So far so good! I personally saw maybe a dozen tagged threads and they were all good. Picked up a couple new Collection followers (howdy!) and had a couple people uncircle me (adios!). Kind of a net-zero thing and that’s fine.
I also discovered that I’ve just signed up for 30 straight days of angry you’re doing it wrong comments because I’m following everyone’s threads and that’s a really common go-to gamer thing. Doesn’t matter how you roll, it’s apparently really important to assert your expertise to strangers.
Tomorrow is day 2! Get ready for it:
*2. What game created your most elaborate relationship map? How much of it did you actually use?*
I’m particularly looking forward to the Fate question. And I like Fate; it’s going to be amusing. It’s fun to see the questions taken semi-seriously.
How do you know when people unCircle you?
Robert Bohl my follower number goes down.
WOW! you lost folks over this??
I know I should make a joke about how I dropped you but I can’t figure out how to bother, so instead, accept this premise.
MadJay Brown yup.
That one’s pretty innocuous though!
Robert Bohl right? I haven’t even gotten to the bad ones yet!
I wish I was creative or funny enough to come up with 30 days of totally non-serious responses.
I’m going to need to ask my regular group about that one… could be Sorcerer…
Paul, you’re doing this whole thing wrong. You need more ice cream. In my game I’m running whenever we have ice cream…
🙂
It only took a couple days of “we don’t have any problems here, not sure what you’re doing wrong” for me to block a rather prominent game designer. I may block all you emmereffers by the end of a month.
Get back to work
Dammit, I wish I had waited until today to make the “some men want to watch the world burn” joke. Oh well. Paul, you are still The Joker of the indie scene.
