Voted I already had won on round 2, but never had been beaten. I should have been more cautious, and wow that's an impressive finish lol
Voted for Capitals for GOTW. Also @Nimblebit do you have any plans to add more color options to the customize screen?
I think we already found the limit of colors that are distinct enough to be easily recognized apart from each other and don't look too ugly paired with other colors. So I think those are the colors we're sticking with. Thanks to everyone who voted!!! We're going to start designing the emote system today, tell us what you'd like to communicate to your opponents!
What happens when two people with the same custom color are matched? One gets another random color? "Good game", "nice move", "nice word" would make it for me. Maybe "watch this" too, before making an awesome move.
Here is a list of potential emotes I am working on, any suggestions? FRIENDLY: Good Game! Lets Play! Nice word! Whoops! Yep Nope Nice. You are a worthy opponent. Good move! Good night! Good morning! This is a great match. Away for a while. I think you might have made a mistake! I see what you did there. Oops! Your Capital is open to attack! Here we go again! Lets play again! GLOATING: Muahaha! Boom. Take that! Boom goes the dynamite! THAT JUST HAPPENED I love these letters! Sorry! #sorrynotsorry Did you see that? SURPRISE: WOW What just happened? I cant believe that worked! That was lucky. Are you a robot? Well this went downhill quickly. Amazing. ANGER: What??? Seriously? Really? Nope just nope. No you didnt! Can you use that word in a sentence? This is not looking good. These letters are terrible! Cheater cheater pumpkin eater! Im so dumb I cant believe I just did that. Nooo!
They sound good. Can I have a clue as to the secret assignment? And will there be more in the future?
You mean the secret achievement? The only thing I will say is that the answer is right in front of you.
I like the more understated lines ("This is not looking good"). You can only say "Boom goes the dynamite" so many times before it gets old, and the more slangy expressions ("Nope...just...nope") have a real expiration date. Emotes that are natural replies to each other are nice. You should probably be able to say "That's not a word!" and then it would be nice to be able to reply "Sorry" but also, "Shall I fetch you a dictionary?"
You can start a new game and the opponent will be in the "Recently Played" section if you haven't deleted your completed game with them.
