Hello again, Lemmy!
It's been a while since I last posted here, and the reception for the post was really awesome - thank you all for that! I also created a community in Lemmy for the game: !walkscape@lemmy.world where I'm posting every development blog post.
We have a new Closed Beta wave right now, so if you'd like to try out the game, you can follow the instructions available at walkscape.app/help. The wave is running until January 7th.
Since the last post, we've now started to add some Quality of Life updates to the game and we're nearly finished with the lengthy optimization process of the game engine and servers. We're expecting to release the next update next month!
If you haven't heard about the game before, I started this project as a personal hobby project to help myself walk more. I tried most of the games available, but I wanted to have something that didn't need attention while walking and wouldn't have predatory monetization like most mobile games tend to have these days.
The game is inspired by RuneScape, and you level up skills, craft gear, find loot and so on by walking IRL. We have a short introduction video to the game where I explain and show how the game works in more detail.
Once again, thanks Lemmy for all the awesome feedback we've got and for the countless encouraging messages that you've sent us. And I'm hoping to see more of you in the game & community!
I'll answer any questions or feedback here in the comments and in our own community. Happy new year, and happy walking <3
What a coincidence, I'm a QA tester that was illegally fired and therefore no longer bound by my moonlighting clause. I'll have to give it a try!
You had a moonlighting clause as a QA tester? The fuck?
whats a moonlight clause?
It seems that a moonlight clause is what someone has in their employment contract that tells them what they can and can’t do on their free time.
If true, the QA above could not do QA work for anyone else while in employment.
Something like that, I guess. 🤔
