Ask HN: Help needed to improve social deduction game
Current status: the good
- minimal release on the Play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.org.tropic.espionage
- tutorial vid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxaSwbv7y4k&feature=youtu.be
- extensive playtesting has taken place with multiple groups
- have offer of featuring on prominent podcast
The ugly: interface needs attention... and the interface code is messy as hell... but this is genuinely a case of “make one to throw away”, as feedback from gaming groups suggests the interface would be better structured around some sort of narrative using photos of players/objects/locations taken from the device camera, rather than text entry.
Also needs reworking to fit the newer Android permissions model.
With other commitments I no longer have time to do all that, so I'm willing to share future revenue with someone who is, please drop a line if interested.
