Told When It Happens

A game should tell you what happened, not just that something did. This sprint is about the moments you are away from Gecktopia, and about keeping the community a good place to be.

“A game should tell you what happened, not just that something did.”

Reminder emails are getting specific. Instead of a general nudge, they will name the actual event: which eggs are ready, which gecko sold, which offer arrived. Each one links straight to it, so you land where the news is.

More of what happens in the game will tell you it happened: announcements, wages ready to collect, fast forwards coming back, new levels, badges and moderation decisions. For these you will be able to choose to get them by email as well.

A completed monthly challenge will show the gecko that finished it, so the one that earned the reward is remembered.

Community activity is getting safer. If a comment is unkind or does not belong, you will be able to report it so it can be reviewed and hidden. We are also laying the groundwork for new kinds of community posts, such as polls.

Written at the time. The geckos here are drawn by today’s renderer.
