Story Collabs by Maakep
In this, uh, community driven textbased MMO adventure game you'll work together with other creative jammers to create a literary story.
The objective is simple; make great contributions that will be appreciated by fellow players. The things you write will be credited to the username you pick.
The rules - You can only write one addition in a row, - You cannot write a message 4 seconds after someone else has written something (to prevent accidentally sending at the same time) - Getting upvotes gains you points, - Getting downvotes loses you points, - Getting too many downvotes will remove your addition
How to play - Hover a text to see the author & points - Click a text to mark it, giving you options for potentially silly text to speech, upvoting & downvoting - See how many authors are online right now in the top right corner. - If someone writes a message or votes on a submission you'll hear a notification sound and be updated in realtime. - If you try to violate the rules, you'll hear an error message and see an error message. - Remember, any contribution is welcome - no matter how small or big!
Features that may arrive post-jam, in prioritized order: - [x] Polishing a few features (button for text to speech after selecting for example) - [x] Up- & down-voting sentences (the +- are already there, but without functionality) - [ ] Leaderborads (based on votes) - [ ] Archiving stories & viewing history - [ ] Notification in browser tab

Is there any way for you to ensure that only one person can be "in line" to update the story next? Can you have multiple stories available for participants to add to at the same time? Is there any way to finish a story, and will the stories be able to be read after they're done?
Hmmm... One friend of mine made a typo while submitting at this game. Is there any way he can correct it?
Thanks @Jupiter_Hadley, and thank you for creating the character for the story! :smile: Go Jewels, the deadly rapper!
It would be cool if there was multiple stories going on at once, each with a different theme. That way you can contribute to the story that's most interesting to you.
Overall, the UI is well done. I think the leaderboards would go a long way in making this feel like more of a game/challenge.
Great work :)
it will generate Funny story.(it can generate so many ideas for incompatible game genres)
This is good thought process to improve creativity.
I left my rating of your game, if you can leave your feedback in our game, Witch's Escape.
I hope you continue with the project.

@cristiano.m.garcia will do!
@veztron Yeah, I was thinking about putting it into "rooms", so that you could create your own Story Collabs and then share a room code, it might come in the future if I spend more time on this, it's definitely something I'd like to expand my knowledge on. Great feedback, thanks.
@RockhopperGames Yeah, I had some feedback that suggested only being able to downvote/remove the latest, but that kind of enforcement went against my initial philosophy; that this community is smart enough to collaborate on a professional level; that we should be able to create amazing things even without hard restrictions.
@ZaneDD For now, only one active room!
First feature I'll implement is probably a "finishing the story"-feature to archive it and also being able to read archived stories. Then creating private "rooms".
Here's the previous story btw:
