RE: Feedback requested: An idea for a Steem-based game

in #gameslast month

I like these puns, no question about it. I've always taken part in them too... :-)

But that's exactly the point: I don't think these crossword puzzles are attractive enough to lure “players” or people interested in games. Especially not if the “source of the words” has to be found first. At most, they are attractive enough to get people to participate because they are there. A nice add-on, not a charming come-along...

By attractive games (which also appeal to outsiders and use the possibilities of the blockchain and the Steem with its reward system) I mean more elaborate games such as @the-gorilla's zombie role-playing game attempt. There must be real “fans” who get involved with the blockchain precisely because of the game on offer. Who then say “Wow, I can use that for my business!”, but are initially fascinated by the game themselves.

I like your word games and I would continue to play them - but never visit your blog for that very reason.

Yeah, I agree with that. It's about providing more options to the people who visit Steem, and potentially retaining more of them. It's not something that's going to draw people all by itself.

In baseball terms, maybe it's a single, but it's not a home run, and definitely not a grand slam. Better and far more engaging games are definitely possible.
