I 1st would like to say im sorry for the delays we had while testing this game it was never my intention of there being large gaps of time between days in the game but due to real world obligations along with some other aspects of steem i did not achieve the balance i was hoping for in these initial pre alpha test phase.
so for now i have to say testing in its current state is suspended.
however all those that participated with the frequency i originally asked for will earn their full rewards they would have received for helping me gather data and improve the experience of the game on a day to day cycle.
now onto the future of this game and what we will be doing to ensure that future.
manually running this game while it did not take me more time than originally estimated when i had the time to run it it did however cause issues when i didnt have the time where i would have to skip whole days between updates due to needing an hour sometimes 2 in order to not only update each players individual profiles but also update and add to the next days post with everyones progression.
with that in mind i will be skipping ahead slightly in my original plans of keeping things mostly manual in the beginning and instead attempting to build out the website version of this game with automation to not only the input of players actions but also in the output and updates of each players profiles. from there for the time being once i can achieve that i will to start manually post the results to the blockchain here but when i can find a way to automate that it will be done.
now i am not a programmer i never would claim to be one however i will be using this site called https://bubble.is/ which is a visual programing tool/website builder and after extensive research into similar options i feel this one gives me personally the best chances of creating not only my vision for the 1st automated versions of this game but many future expansions to the gameplay.
this will take time and a lot of effort on my part to learn this tool in every way that i can to give the best experience of twinforge that i can to you but i will be documenting the progress i make most likely on a weekly basis.
i hope that you will follow my journey into making this work and maybe you will be inspired to use this tool as well if you feel like you have an app worth creating even if you dont have the coding skills to make one from scratch.
I know i am excited about this direction and will be doing all that i can to get the game to a point that not only can i reinvite those that already played this limited test run version before but future players.
thank you all that helped in the 1st testing phase and rest assure your progress will not be lost in this transition,
