this is the chilled version. The first version was genuinely upsetting.

WHY ARE PPL LEAVING MY HACKATHON? I had pizza šŸ„ŗšŸ•
a
not enough, clearly
f
They said they wanted a beanbag and a nap. But they are here to WORK! I don’t see any beanbags here and people have not left yet. Such snobby hackers

How do you influence reputation in the game?
killed me off twice now

More pizza! More releases! Upgraded pipelines!
f
huh. So it’s the reputation among… hackers? users?
but ok. good to know
pizza and bean bags seem to be the important stuff
a
hackers!
also, it gets harder and harder every day
it was designed to basically be impossible at about day 12
I've added some more unhinged ideas now eyebrows
f
Then I wasn’t so bad with day 11 😳
a
day 11 is way better than me
m

@Franziska Bonath dug through my 2am logs. It was supposed to get exponentially harder after day 6, so making it to day 11 is absolutely bonkers. Very well done. I'll change the difficulty ramp so it goes to day 16 or so, but add some more ā€˜creative’ challenges
