Hey Rat Punchers!
So it’s been about two months since the community was founded, In that time we’ve grown to a healthy basic level of activity, but I’d really like to see things continue to grow.
I’ve already ported over some basic features from our former subreddit community, such as the same basic structuring of rules and an approximation of our old flair system to highlight OC and dev posts. Clearly there is more that could be done though, so I’d love to hear what sort of things you guys would like to see!
As an example, the old Pixel Dungeon subreddit used to run various events earlier in its life to help drum up activity, such as competitions with specific limited rulesets. Things like Shattered Pixel Dungeon’s seed function would help a bunch with this, although I’d want to make events possible for other versions of the game as well.
You must log in or register to comment.
A limited version (like a set of seeds, except accessible even if you haven’t won yet) with a unique item or a set of items, and you can only get the code if you log into Lemmy to find it. Best for newbies because they could win with these limited items and get access to challenges and seeded runs. Similar to original rat king event way back when.
I was thinking a seasonal theme, with snowman armor and a candy cane sword/wand… a witch’s hat if it came soon enough… drops at least one in every special event ‘seed’ and it might be just the thing to help a struggling player get that first W.
Each ‘seed’ would only be available on Lemmy… that ought to boost attendance.
That sounds more like a Shattered Pixel Dungeon feature than a Lemmy event.
I would have no idea how (if even possible), but if you could tie it in to where you could only get the code here… but I suppose people would just copy/paste onto other sites… I don’t know, I suppose it was a dumb idea.
A let’s play or something could be pretty cool, or “top comment dictates next move” or whatever just to see what people go for.
challenges like runs without armor, with weird builds on a specific seed, maybe challenges to do and screenshot something (like succubus and player character mutually charmed). I know a community of russian players who sometimes creates such challenges to each other, we also made a pretty big database with weapon and armor +5/+10 stats, guides for some mechanics, numbers of damage for Chalice of Blood upgrades, etc.
