Basic idea is to have the community all play the same game and then talk about it and our experiences.
I feel the games should be either very inexpensive or free. Even a demo or “Prologue” would be an easy way to make it free. In regards to selecting games we could use community engagement and vote in some fashion, or have a pool of games which everybody contributes to and one is selected at random.
This is just a random idea I had but wanted to throw it out there.
Thanks for listening!
I would love for that to be a thing!
I agree that it should be done in this community instead of creating a new one. If you need any help with anything, please let me know as I would be glad to help
Honestly I disagree with some comments here. I wouldn’t make a separate community. Just do it here. The community is small as-is, no need to splinter it down any further.
Also, I don’t think games would just have to be cheap, they’d also have to be short. That makes the barrier of entry a bit lower.
If you’re interested, Patient Gamers discord has been running Game of the Month for a while now. Each month, two titles are picked via nominations & voting (people running it first choose a theme, be it genre, feel or whatever, then games are chosen), one long game, one short, then people can discuss.
Maybe then we just need to mirror that activity here.
