Testing new "share to steem" Drugwars feature

in #drugwars5 years ago (edited)

Drugwars recently added a new "share to steem" feature for battles done in the game. This is a great idea, imo, as one of the advantages of building a game on Steem should be making use of the social features of the blockchain. While fast transactions and immutability are the key enabling factors, the social aspect is what can make it more fun and unique. Allowing post rewards to be added back to the in-game rewards pool (which I assume it does with 20% benefactor rewards set to @drugwars and 15% set to @drugwars-dealer) is also genius as it adds a correlation between the number of players and available rewards regardless of STEEM spent on in-game purchases.

With that being said, it clearly shows some lacks. First of all, clicking the button in-game instantly submitted the post without allowing me to add any extra text. Now I assume that will come later, as the feature is still all new, but at least give me a popup asking me to verify completing the post with the automated headline and image you have selected for me in the meantime (especially when the profile pictures of the users fighting is not imported correctly)...

Anyways, what I love about Drugwars is the fact that all the players are able to play the game and experience and then report issues directly to the devs. This transparent and open environment with a closer connection between the product developers and the users of the product is, in my opinion, one of the coolest and most promising things about Steem. It allows the users to be the co-creators of products they like, and the creators to have access to raw, honest and direct user experience feedback possible. It shouldn't take much imagination to see how this can be applied well beyond a simple game.

I'll continue to experience drugwars, provide my feedback and continue to engage with the passionate community of users for this purpose. And hey, I've already made 2 STEEM profit on the game despite joining it fairly late :D

i have to agree with you on this. not being able to edit the post and creating a post just with 1 image will just be too spammy for the likes of things. hope this gets fixed fast ...

That was my first impression too. But I take it for granted that the devs intend to improve it in that direction, and that adding an in-game editor was simply not worth their first priority.

I must say I like the philosophy of launching things early, although still broken, in order to gain feedback, than to polish amd polish and spend time making things perfect, only to realize one has wasted a lot of time and money on something people didnt want.

They are improving the game every day. So much so that im actually starting to enjoy this as a game and not care about the payout pool.
Thats really the only way to play this game. I just hope more people realize it and not jump into this thinking its a good investment (its not).

The devs are trying and that deserves only praise. Its a shame that they werent clear about the economy in place from the start. :(

Congratulations @fredrikaa ! Your fight received an upvote of 1% from the King Dealer as incentive for your activity and as a gratitude for your support to the game.

That is pretty a nice profit you have made and i am sure you will make more. I tested the features out also today and it is great just that, i did not receive upvotes from them as they claim

2 STEEM profit is hardly interesting considering the time invested in the game :P
But hey, it's more than I've made from most games I've ever played ^^.

Yes. The profit is low also compare to the time invested but at least it is better than none. But I will love the profit to be increase as the profit like you said is low compared to the time invested.
