When you’re saying “real world” you mean mobile devices where your actual position dictates your position in the game world, right?
I really like the idea of these. Ingress started out cool, but didn’t hold my interest. I think the actual play loop kinda sucked, but it built up a decent community around the novelty.
Yeah, location based as in you and the objects in the game are based on real world coordinates. The “grid” for the game is overlayed onto the real world
Same ingress lost its appeal after a while. The gameplay loop was shallow and repetitive. It was based around rather fast gameplay loops, that would resolve, and then you rinse and repeat.
I made some cool friends though, it was cool to meet people at capture points.
I’m aiming for much MUCH more depth here. Fundamentally different from ingress of similar games, aside from being location based. More industry and exploration, with a more typical loop around economy, growth, and advancement.
I mostly play on the Xbox, not very often. so when I do, it’s the update game. I play update for a few minutes, get bored then go do something else. By the time I finish there’s no more time to play and I forget until a couple months when I only get to play update again.
“Oh hey, the console doesn’t need to update this time! And this 5-year old game is the one I just updated last month, and there hasn’t been any news or anything about the game.”
needs to update
“Wow, these minor bug fixes are (probably) amazing. Especially when it’s 300MB!”
Shadow Cities was really fun back in the day. Despite coming out so long ago, I think it was the best location based game. I'm disappointed and a bit surprised that nobody ever recreated it. Niantic tried, but they never really captured the magic of it. Pokemon go was fun for a short time, but got boring fast. I think it was a huge missed opportunity to not have actual Pokemon battles, especially PvP.
They eventually got around to it, but by that time the game was so overmonetized that getting anything good to use in PvP required a bunch of cash or all of your time grinding.
Are you telling me there is going to be factorio in real world now? This is the best idea for a mobile AR game I have read. But scrap the natural disasters. Doesn’t sound like they add any fun.
Brain hack: Go stare at a wall for 5-10 minutes and try again, repeat until the game/activity seems fun. Your brain will start to crave any stimulation when faced with unbearable boredom.
Note: This may cause emotions you were suppressing to surface in the absence of stimulation, which will likely be uncomfortable, but also might be the reason you were struggling to enjoy things in the first place.
