With the genres I’d be interested in, I have noticed a ‘slowing down’ of activity and interest. While there’s some interesting things down the pipeline, there isn’t much by way of things out right now.
I would like to make a game, but, I don’t want to put in hundreds of hours in development hell just to have it stall on release or have a player base of 3.
What ideas in terms of text-based gaming, specifically an Evennia-based platform, do you think would do well in the current gaming environment?
The idea that I keep circling around is a CK3/Vampire styled game in an original setting; where, instead of using +vote as XP-generation, it’d be activity based. XP is generated by spending blood and dice-rolling in Staff-run activities.
Players would try to acquire swarths of territory to fund their own rise and the rise of loyal vassals.
But, again, I don’t know how popular of an idea that would be; text-based gamers are notoriously anti-change.
