Hi TK. How's lockdown treating you?
it's uhhhhh rough
was holding on okay when they were still trying to get back to zero but now i'm just sad
I think its good that you are on a watchI'm always checking for new fresh start games, sadly not much games going on the past few years, only very few.
True. I thought about starting a discussion about reviving NES and IOT in general. Can it succeed and should it be done at all? Going down gentle into that night or not? Should this be a new thread?It is what it is. The age gap between IOT and NES wasn't so great after all.

Yes, yes, yes. People who used to play with texts and those who grew up with an understanding that writing to another person via the internet is a great idea are gone. They have grown up and retain fond memories of this place (if any). So the question is whether the new generations could potentially be interested in this experience? I think, forums give two things which no other new media can give. Static texts are unexciting to some degree, but they provide a sandbox freedom that no other game can provide (the creative experience) and they are an opportunity to learn something from similar minded people not in real time (community based on information, not a media). Is that enough for the new generation? If not, I suppose that the nostalgic get together games are also fun, no problem with that.And... there's also the elephant in the room here. The likely need for a new community. Without going into detail, a lot of people have left this community for non-game reasons. That is without getting into how this subforum has been slowly losing activity
To my knowledge, the closest thing to this that is active would be the NationStates boards, which have the annoying feature of being tied to your country account, which is deleted after a few weeks of inactivity.
Time is finite, and games are inherently in a competitive market - what does your game offer that others do not?

Build it and they will come!
IOTs are dead. Run a TTRPG today. Greater reward, less effort compared to an IOT. Abandon nationstate-based games good lord
