Are #IndieGames Developing a Gambling Problem?

https://thisweekinvideogames.com/feature/are-indie-games-developing-a-gambling-problem/

> Gambling-themed #roguelikes are helping #indiedev hit the jackpot.

This article goes deep on the #gamedesign mechanics that make games feel addictive, and their ethical implications.

I've explored these topics in the context of #instructionaldesign and #gamification where they affect #motivation, #persistence with hard tasks, and #grit.

Slartboz has been posted to the Dwarf Fortress forum on Reddit

https://www.reddit.com/r/dwarffortress/comments/16op689/slartboz_my_take_on_dwarf_fortress_but_with_a/

fans/frens/geeks/freaks, would appreciate any upvotes you can give it there on Reddit. I am on a razor's edge between deciding to abandon this game or continue it. so any new tangible evidence I get that people *like* Slartboz would help *immensely* now

thank you!

Dead By Zombie's public README has been revised to mention Slartboz

DBZ was my 1st commercial Rogue-like. began writing it in 2007-ish. went live to players in 2008. released around same time as the original Dwarf Fortress! (Them: dorfs. Me: zeds.)

Slartboz is my de facto sequel & successor to DBZ. so it made sense to mention it back in the old public repo for DBZ

it is here:

thanks!

I'm thinking of doing posts to Reddit, somewhere, to promote Slartboz, and help get more audience and supporters

anyone have recommendation of what subreddits might be good for that?

a slideshow GIF has been created. stuffed with a variety of screenshots from the working gameplay UX

will try to trim the size down before uploading it and sharing

figure a nice alternative to a video. cuz no audio. and I dont narrate over top it. and you can "watch" the entire thing in under a minute

up prob later this eve...
