Hey Rat Punchers!

So it’s been about two months since the community was founded, In that time we’ve grown to a healthy basic level of activity, but I’d really like to see things continue to grow.

I’ve already ported over some basic features from our former subreddit community, such as the same basic structuring of rules and an approximation of our old flair system to highlight OC and dev posts. Clearly there is more that could be done though, so I’d love to hear what sort of things you guys would like to see!

As an example, the old Pixel Dungeon subreddit used to run various events earlier in its life to help drum up activity, such as competitions with specific limited rulesets. Things like Shattered Pixel Dungeon’s seed function would help a bunch with this, although I’d want to make events possible for other versions of the game as well.

    Integrate Lemmy in the game? I.e. Send screenshot or stats to Lemmy post or profile. Post user achievements/badges/current running character in signature, or icons besides name.

    Or a “daily Lemmy run” where every day we can advance only 1 level, then we can have here a post with the best runner-ups…

      I’m doing what I can to contribute to that myself, but there’s not a lot I can do to make other people post other than say ‘be the change you want to see in the world.’ =)

    challenges like runs without armor, with weird builds on a specific seed, maybe challenges to do and screenshot something (like succubus and player character mutually charmed). I know a community of russian players who sometimes creates such challenges to each other, we also made a pretty big database with weapon and armor +5/+10 stats, guides for some mechanics, numbers of damage for Chalice of Blood upgrades, etc.

    A recommendation that you can use old.lemmy.world/c/pixeldungeon to use an interface like old reddit, faster and less buggy in my own particular experience.

      A lot of users are on mobile, so mobile app recommendations might be more useful. I do agree though that something to point people in the right direction would be a good idea, perhaps a welcome post.

      I don’t think upvoting/downvoting is changeable on a per-community basis. It’s up to the instance administrators, and I think the majority of users would want to be able to downvote.
