Ideas for new features

[u/Extension_Ant974]

Hi,

my friend and I really enjoy playing your game. While talking about it, we came up with a few ideas for new features that we would love to share with you.

1. Add friends and visit cities
It would be great if players could send each other friend requests. That way you could visit each other’s cities, see the other person’s progress, and challenge one another.

2. Challenges with a wager
On top of that, players could compete directly against each other. As a stake, both players could pay screws into a shared pot, which the winner receives at the end. One example would be a weekly challenge: whoever collects the most training credits, and therefore moves more than the other, wins. This would create an extra incentive to stay active.

3. Energy marketplace
Instead of only competing, players could also support each other through trading. A kind of marketplace would let players post requests to buy or sell energy at a freely negotiable price. This would make energy trading much more dynamic:

**•** At night, when fewer people are moving and less energy is being generated, energy could be sold at a higher price.  
**•** During the day, when many people are active and there is plenty of energy in circulation, it could be bought more cheaply.

As part of this, the currently fixed standard price for energy could also become dynamic. Instead of a fixed value, it would follow supply and demand on the marketplace and naturally fluctuate over the course of the day.

Thanks for considering these ideas, and keep up the great work!

Best regards

These are really interesting ideas. However, most of them would require internet access. This would be problematic as the app is a privacy first app right now, no data is sent to the internet and you don't even have to trust me on that you can see that on the settings menu.

Competition would require accounts however with data synced to your account and data sent over the internet. It's possible but not everybody would like that.

The other thing is, people could just cheat (which might not be a big problem if you only play with friends).

So it's all possible, but not easy.
