ATITD Academia
This page aims to summarise and refine the observations, comments and theories put forward in the #atitdfocusgroup IRC channel on irc.sorcery.net, as hosted by Sambethe. Our goal is to explore and delve into the mechanics of ATITD, and come to conclusions as to how, why and what. The ground covered will be broad, and the spectrum wide. This page will try to keep track and tabs on the information discerned.
Levels
Observations on the level structure, and how it's affecting the game. Special attention to pre-level vs post-level analysis.
Mentorship
How do we handle the responsibility of the maintenance and turnover of our community?
Egenesis - How the game is run
Specifically relating to the percieved development strategies and content management/design/development, rather than the structure and operation of the company.
The Story
Is there a story? What is it? How does it affect the individual player, and the community at large?
The Tellings System
What makes people play telling after telling? What changes? What stays the same? How does that affect gameplay and retention?
Inequality
The game is designed to be unfair. How does this affect the community, and how is it addressed by players on an individual and community level?
