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: [email protected] 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
Looks amazing! I'm excited to try it in the future :)
However I did encounter an issue trying to apply for beta access:
On the application page where you type in all the words using Firefox on Mobile I was able to switch the tab to a different one, but was unable to switch it back without force closing and reopening the browser. I've never had this issue with any other website so I doubt it's an issue with the browser itself (however is still definitely possible).
It did work on my 2nd attempt, but I figured I should let you know incase there's anything you could do about it for the extremely small percentage of Firefox mobile users lol
Well that's definitely weird - Android or iOS? We'll need to try this ourselves to see if there's something going on with that form.
Thanks for the report and happy walking! ❤️
I'm using the Android that came with my device using a Pixel 8, thanks for the reply and if there's any information that would help let me know :)
