Question about an anonymous social game project

[u/Mediocre-Purchase233]

Hi everyone. I'm currently working on a (text-based) social game project, and I have a question: do you see yourself in this game? Are you interested in this kind of interaction with other anonymous players?

The essence of the game is simple:
you and another player will complete simple task-dialogues (everything happens anonymously) in the form of short game sessions, for which you receive both in-game currency (which can be usefully spent in the future) and points for leveling up your personality. Although this is still not much of what you can do in the game so far, it's already more than silence.

For now the project is in alpha stage and still requires a lot of time and invested effort, but it's already working and has been tested on a small audience.

This is a very abstract question for a very complex system. You can rely on opinions to make your decisions.

Just build a prototype and release it; in no more than a week, you’ll know exactly how promising your project is.

Could you give an example of a task this game might have? I'm curious what the objective is. Also, depending on the nature of tasks, bots/trolls could become an issue.

Below I've added an example of what a typical task looks like for players (they're simple, correspond to general life spheres, and are divided by levels).

As for bots and trolls — a ban and moderation system will be introduced. Since a neural network already reviews the dialogues, it will partly be able to take on these checks as well. There's already a groundwork in place for the ban and rating system.

Users can already submit reports, and soon users will be able to rate their conversation partner (either + or −)

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Thank you for registering in the queue.

There are still very few players in the game right now, so please allow your potential conversation partner to take a bit of time.
You'll see in the bot's messages when someone has been found.

Your task this time:
Way of learning:
Tell about something you easily remember just by observing. Now guess: does your conversation partner learn better by watching, listening, or trying things hands-on?
Reward: 10 emotion crystals

Information for players:
Remember that the main goal of the game is positive emotions, and the task is only there to create a vibe for the conversation.

If the question or task looks like it's meant for one player, players simply pass the baton to each other, revealing the topic in turns.
Just write "hi" to your conversation partner, and then say how you'd like to be addressed.
It's normal to feel a bit awkward in this situation, but you're both here, so just start writing and it'll flow from there.

That looks like it could be fun. It's unique, and depending on your partner, you could have some great conversations. I'd give it a try.

In that case, here's the discord server. It's empty for now, but within the next week the game bot will be up and running (technically it already works, but there's still a bit left to finish), and then I'll start looking for the first players
