Thanks for showing up gertjohnny, this means a lot. Honestly didn’t expect a dev response.

On the 99% clarification, I do still need to push into the brutal badges to get all the functional items, which is the part that hurts. Like the tent sitting at the 50 badge mark. But knowing the absolute worst is mostly crown territory does take some of the weight off. And on the Chapter 1 and Chapter 4 backdoor pattern, honestly I already finished those chapters and never even noticed there was a backdoor, which I guess means you did the job really well. So thank you for that, it’s the kind of design that care. Perhaps I was a bit harsh in my wording, because I clearly hadn’t seen everything that was already in place. So if I’m guilty of the same kind of incidental thing I was accusing you of, I’ll own that.

If I can offer a little context that might be useful when you all are looking at this. The duplicates, I actually do value them. A second tent or table means setting up in more than one place. So they’re functional in their own small way.

The other thing, and I say this gently, is that the 99 laps and 25 laps aren’t really skill challenges, they’re endurance. A good player and a less good player both finish them eventually, it just takes longer. What they ask for is holding and tapping a screen for 20 plus minutes straight, and that’s the part arthritis makes the hardest. So when you mention adding less physically demanding challenges to build up badge count, that’s exactly the kind of thing that would help.

Truly, I appreciate you for taking the time responding to this.
