Otter

Hi! I am seeking general feedback on the blurb for my upcoming release, which is a grimdark novella about a sea otter set in a sort of cultural bronze age of the whales and dolphins. I will most likely self-publish it or offer it for free through my website as a first ”single” for the larger novel project/world (I have a novel almost done, and several short stories in the pipeline).

Title: Oyster’s Scream

In a world without man, the oceans teem with life... And death.

It is the dawn of the Age of Whales, and the coast is alive with the sermons of blubber and the toil of fins. Wary after past predation on their kind, the otters of the verdant Squidwood live out their lives in the shadow of the dreadwhales, godlike predator-lords of the Scaled Sea. When a wanton male otter commits blood treason against the porpoises of the Gullclans, their fury threatens to drown all of the Squidwood, in defiance of the Skinsong, an ancient law written in scars across zealous whale flesh.

But the por

Good evening y'all!

Been a bit of time since I posted my original prototype of Otter Life, an incremental game I developed for my wife to play. I got a lot of really, really positive feedback, and a ton of constructive criticism that I deeply appreciated. I massaged out some minor bugs, and implemented a slew of new features, including some UI customization for those who want different fonts or background colors.

I've added two major mechanics to the game now, which is BOUND to come with new bugs to squash. I'm hoping the UI doesn't look too busy, and would definitely love any further feedback you folks have about design, which I am not the best at.

With the redesign out of the way, I'm hoping that updates will come a bit faster now. I already am testing a (yet another) new mechanic I am excited about. I won't spam thi

Hey /r/incremental_games!

My wife and I are enormous fans of incremental games. For her birthday this year, I decided I'd try my hand at making our own game featuring one of her favorite things, otters! Inspired by Kittens, but with the hope to make it a bit more forgiving, I've played around with a lot of different features. I plan on making it more like an evolutionary game as it progresses, such that the same spirit of the game, but vastly different mechanics, surface.

I am definitely no designer, so I'd love feedback both on the user experience, the visuals, and gameplay! Of course, I'm happy to receive ANY feedback you may have, and will be grateful if you even spend a little bit of time playing!

The game is still very early, with much of my effort dedicated to making expanding the game easier. I hope it's worth your time and let me know what you think!

Not you, personally, just the royal you, which includes everyone except for You and I. We're smart. We get it. Here's the card:

Lutri, the Spellchaser

Here's why everyone else except us is wrong about Lutri, the Spellchaser. Here's why the RC banning this card in 20 minutes is exactly the right decision, and here's why that decision has NO bearing whatsoever on the banning of any other card (cough, flash):

1. Lutri is not designed for commander. The mechanic is beautiful in 60-card formats, encouraging deck diversity and strange brews. It is non-functional in commander, offering no restriction at all. It simply doesn't work as intended.

2. It is overwhelmingly likely confirmed that the RC was given a brief heads-up about this card before it was released. The RC made a decision with time to think, and vote. It is fair and reasonable for WOTC to make a single card for other constructed formats without worrying about the implications

This could be useful if anyone has small children who are being cooped up, or if you just want a happy escape from the bad news on TV. I hope everyone is staying safe out there!
