We've been very hard at work, getting SW Games ready for you all (finally!)

Busy at this 16 hrs a day.. 7 days a week.. for the past month!

(We're always here doing our very best for the community, even if we're not always very visible.)

Best regards to all!
-The SW Team

@Andrew Good show

@Andrew take your time baby
@Andrew Yay! That looks like a lot of work. Thank you 🥰

JRVanguard · 26-30, M
It’s finally happening!!!
Appreciate you Andrew and Nuno
BlueVeins · 22-25
Not gonna lie, I had assumed the games thing had been left in the past by now. I'm very pleased Thanks for all your hard work. <3
@BlueVeins i remember when this was an announcement during launch and then nothing.. until now 🥳
That's a nice start! Single player games give us something to do when the feed doesn't show any new posts, and the leader boards allow us to challenge friends to get a higher score, but I was hoping for new ways to actually spend time with others while doing something together. I'm looking forward to the multiplayer versions. Hopefully there will also be less time-sensitive games, or more turn based games, that allow us to chat while playing against each other.

@NerdyPotato good points
SnailTeeth · 36-40
100's of versions of Mahjong exist for every modern console. That's an essential game.

What I really miss, and would be easy to integrate, are classic games.

Cribbage & backgammon mostly.

Chess would be another necessity.

I don't think these games look challenging or engaging enough to garner interest from anything more than the casual gamer. But I like this introduction, I hope to see it improve.

@Fable BTW how are you doing? Haven't seen you in a while. I suspect I understand why though being where you are.

@Fable a lot has changed for me over the last six months. Yet I mostly keep that private. I do have a private post on this somewhere. You should be able to see it now.
urfavoriteahole · 26-30, F
Nice! Looks like I joined at the right time!
I have nearly a million coins that I've been saving just for this!
ThaiGirl · 26-30, F
Yay, I'm going to waste even more time here 😭
GeistInTheMachine · 31-35, M
@ThaiGirl That's the spirit.
TheRascallyOne · 31-35, M
Hunger games?
Casheyane · 31-35, F
@TheRascallyOne Can we do pokemon instead lmao?
Fishy · 36-40, F
@Casheyane Pokemon meets Hunger Games? 🤔
plungesponge · 41-45, M
ooooh word search
GeorgeTBH · 31-35, M
👀 games you say
Imsleepy · 31-35
I’m glad to see that there will be leaderboards.
deadgerbil · 26-30
Looks good. Nice selection
You guys really did some research on your target audience I see. Those brain games could provide a much needed boost to a few IQs
CestManan · 46-50, F
Are the games like free to play or how will tht work?
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
Thank you very much for your time on this. Any chance of some old style games like a Tetris like game?

I really am not very good at it, yet not completely a novice either.

Also how do coins fit in the scheme with these games?
Andrew · Admin
@DeWayfarer

We can look into having a Tetris-type game added as well.
We'll likely produce a new Voting Poll soon (after the initial release), so that users can vote on their priority preference of new games they would like to see added.


We'll likely create another post around the time of release, to explain how SW Coins will relate to the games.

In General:

1) You'll earn more SW Coins, the more you play SW Games.

2) You can use your accumulated SW Coins, to purchase In-Game Power-Ups, and other Enhancements.
(or use them for the Gift Shop, and eventually Avatars)
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@Andrew I have a few suggestions on Tetris type games and powerups, yet I'll save it until you put up the polls.
SW-User
Thank you SW team. We know you get discouraged by all the complaints. The truth is that regardless of all the complaints this is a worthwhile site and offers things we cannot get elsewhere. These games will be a fun addition and they are appreciated.
Andrew · Admin
@BiasForAction
This is planned as well,
for our "Turned-based Games" phase.
@Andrew And what single player games do you have ? :D
I tried the Similar Matches game. The first game was fine, the second game, I couldn't move any pieces... reloading the game didn't fix my problem either.

@HootyTheNightOwl, thanks for reporting this issue.

It's an uncommon bug, we are aware of, and we'll do our best to find a solution to this, soon.


In the interim, please "Reload the entire Page", in order to stop the problem from continuing.

I believe this bug may be occurring at times when swiping very rapidly (while the blocks are still actively matching and calibrating).


We have also created a new Group, where you can directly post about Bugs you experience while playing SW Games:
https://similarworlds.com/games-puzzles/sw-games/bugs
@Andrew Thank you, Andrew. I didn't really want to say anything because I'm aware that there will be bugs and glitches, but I thought that it could be a bug that you're not aware of.

I believe that you are correct in that the error was created by my trying to match too quickly while the game was calibrating.

Thank you for directing me to the new group... I wasn't too sure where to post my feedback - so I came back here again.
helenS · 36-40, F
Thank you, Andrew for burning the midnight oil again. Not being an enthusiastic gamer myself, your most recent work is not for me, but I'd like to say that I deeply appreciate your efforts to make this site so enjoyable.
🌷 <== appreciation tulip for you guys
@Andrew, thank you for reminding us. You seem to realize that we as users forget what the team behind any group like SW does. I certainly hope the job and the community here are worth it. I look forward to the results of your work.
Fishy · 36-40, F
BittersweetPotato · 31-35, F
This is something a baby face would enjoy! Calling out the baby faces on the website @PiecingBabyFaceTogether
@BittersweetPotato I'm already here 👶 🥔
BittersweetPotato · 31-35, F
@PiecingBabyFaceTogether Good babyface! 👍👶
popmol · 26-30, M
why did we need games though?
gamingnerd · 26-30, M
@popmol seems like they are trying bump up user numbers games will get more people to join.
popmol · 26-30, M
@gamingnerd really? i think it invites kids more? like facebook gaming?
gamingnerd · 26-30, M
@popmol i think they just want user numbers they prob dont care who it is,
CBarson · 51-55
"Busy at this 16 hrs a day.. 7 days a week.. for the past month!"

So you basically just admitted to overworking your employees, just like the rest of the game development world. Did they receive any additional compensation for all that overtime? No? How typical
CBarson · 51-55
@HootyTheNightOwl google "crunch" in relation to game development, it is a well-known labor abuse
@CBarson Try Googling "slander" while you have Google open.

Just because it happens, it doesn't mean that it's happening here... and, assuming that you are not privy to information that's not common knowledge to the rest of us - I'd be very careful of your allegations.
CBarson · 51-55
So, now let us bet on games and players with SW coins?😆
Gusman · 61-69, M
@UnderLockDown You will go broke real quick.😄
@UnderLockDown
So, now let us bet on games and players with SW coins?😆

Hope not!
Too happy about this! Yes, similar worlds is gonna have games!
bookerdana · M

MrBrownstone · 46-50, M
Awesome! Will be using my points to play!
helenS · 36-40, F
@MrBrownstone You have a point here! 😏
Iwantyourhotwife · 22-25
If we could compete against others would be kinda lit 😼
wackidywack · 26-30
I'd been having a really shit day but this cheered me up. Best admin

Kwek00 · 41-45, M
@TurtleEclipseOfTheHeart Oh lawd, .... it's commin'!
Rolexeo · 26-30, M
Is there a game where I get to beat up the mods for Similar Dollars?
Selah ·
My hardworking Andrew. You're doing great sweetie.
Thanks guys.
We appreciate your efforts.
Fishy · 36-40, F
Omg, there is a fish game.
I can't even 🥺
deadgerbil · 26-30
@Fishy you better be at the top of the leaderboard, no excuses
Gangstress · 41-45, F
Thank you admin team!
Woohoo
Fishy · 36-40, F
I know this is still an early thing,
But it would be cool if you added a system for people to host their own ttrpg campaign,
Something where players can fill out their own character sheets and roll dice to determine outcomes etc
Something strange I used to see a list of people who were on or on recently and now I just see three peple then manage people
CestManan · 46-50, F
@Wedgiegiver I have not really played them much but it is a nice addition for those on here who enjoy simple games.
@CestManan Not the games the friends group when you first log in
CestManan · 46-50, F
@Wedgiegiver ahh okay, I am not sure then
When do anticipate being able to start rolling them out?
Andrew · Admin
@Onestarlitnight
Within "2 weeks" or so, most likely, once we don't run into any unexpected issues.
All seems going well.

The games are working,
We are currently working on integrations with SW interface, server communication, leaderboards, etc...
SoLeRiMix · 31-35, M
Thank you for considering people's interest! You folks are Awesome!😇👍
Nice to see a post from Admin after pretty long a time.
Congratulations!
AdaXI · 41-45, T
