I had the Dungeon Notebook. It was fun. I played it until I got bored, which was quick, then gave it away.
The ability to "give away" these little games are part of the fun. I'd like to see a game like this where "giving it away" is part of the game. Something you can pass around a school or a con. Like an analog version of Chain World, which was a mini-Minecraft-on-a-USB-stick that you were supposed to pass on.

- CuriousCosmic 2y agoSubnautica has a somewhat related concept which is that at the end of the game you have the ability to send a single time capsule to the maps of new players. They contain text, a picture (taken with the in game camera), and a handful of items. It's a cute little feature that allows you to send something helpful (or just amusing) to the next generation of players.

- cbm-vic-20 2y agoSounds like a NetHack "bones level" that gets created when you die, and may appear in someone else's game. Full of cursed items, of course. https://nethackwiki.com/wiki/Bones#Description https://nethackwiki.com/wiki/Bones#Description
- IgorPartola 2y agoNothing like finding your own bones and being attacked by your ghost.
- rkowalick 2y agoSounds like the nethack equivalent of seeing bad code, running git blame and finding out it was me.
- mhb 2y agoWait until you hear about PaperBooks. They're like a Kindle download except, once you finish reading one, you can give it to anyone else to read. And BookNotes are completely portable - anything you write in it stays with the PaperBook and can be read by any other person.

- tutuca 2y agoI believe he was being sarcastic and talking about old fashioned, actual paper books.

- cafeinux 2y agoReminds me when in school I had to do a presentation about ways to defend against malware. I showed a few software examples (among other things) and ended with "the most powerful anti-malware ever, compatible with every other anti-malware, adds a strong security layer to them, protects your passwords, prevents you from opening spam, from clicking unknown links, from replying to phishing, almost impossible to uninstall by a hacker, and lots of other powerful features: Common Sense™". One of the other students came to me after class and said "hey, that last software seems really promising, but I never heard about it. What was it again?"
