Day 2 has started with Trivial Guesser! Here's a quick rundown of what's new, what's updated, and what's coming. But first, have some stats!
(GM0 = Nintendo, GM1 = Microsoft, GM2 = Sony, GM3 = PC)
To the 9 supporters viewing the Previous Days page, you now will see more than just Day 1! To the four clicks to Patreon, thanks for checking that out!
The game left judgement around 6PM EST today at 3.5 stars and has been fairly constant since.
Today's Updates & Additions
Today the game saw some minor updates. Around 10AM the game was updated to fix stats tracking around 'busts', or not guessing the game in 4 attempts. This was incorrectly sending as "GMx_Guess4" which was not being tracked.
The game also saw some small tweaks with styling to better fit fonts and content onto the page.
About 30 minutes ago the game was updated to forcefully use EST/New York timezone as browsers and timezones suck. Despite the game pulling the Datetime from NG's API, your browser parsed the date (which included NG's timezone offset) into your local timezone anyway. The most recent update makes that no longer an issue.
Finally, the Microsoft category has received a few updates and is being prepped for more days. Other categories will receive updates soon to push the maximum day from 31 to 45. If people stick around with the game long enough, I hope to add as many days as necessary!
What's Coming
In addition to more days being added to the categories, fixes and small feature improvements will be added. I'm closely watching stats and will adjust difficulty if needed.
After patching the game this week, the team will begin work on the next Trivial Trivia game and whatever packs will be included with that game. Since the engine itself is built already, building out a new game for the series should take weeks instead of months.
Closing Message
As always, we appreciate the messages, feedback, support, and reviews! These games are made for free and with the aim to make you think or teach you something new in a roundabout way. The Trivial series of games also allow you to discover new information through linking sources or answers too! I think it is a wonderful thing to give players the ability to discover information related to a question or statement they are presented with if they are piqued by it.
Lastly, the Trivial team has launched a Patreon page over the weekend. We're not looking to take your money, but felt this would be a good way to gauge interest in the development and ideas behind the Trivia and Guesser games. While we intend to roll out paid tiers once we know what they should include, we'd more than love for you to give us a follow and check in on our updates from time to time too.
