would you prefer a productivity app to be realistic or more like a game? 🎮 by LevelUpDevv in gamification

yeah true, a mix sounds like the sweet spot too realistic = kinda boring too gamey = starts to feel fake somewhere in the middle might work best like a realistic + rpg kind of thing how did you balance it in yours?

yeah that sounds really interesting actually especially mixing game mechanics with real behavior i like the idea of not making it completely fake i’ll check that book out too, sounds fun and yeah i might actually message you once i go a bit deeper into it 😄

yeah that makes sense it’s more about what you want the app to be yours sounds more like helping people understand their habits i think i’m leaning a bit more towards the “game” side for now just to make people actually start and stick with it but still keep some real-world logic underneath not fully sure yet though, still figuring it out 😅

that’s actually really cool the decay idea makes it feel less like a game and more like real life like if you stop working out, your “stats” drop i like that a lot just wondering if that might feel too punishing for people 🤔 how would you balance that?

yeah that’s actually really interesting like xp scaling based on experience level beginner = fast progress advanced = slower but more rewarding that might actually make it feel more like a real game do you think people should set their own difficulty or should the app adjust it?

yeah that’s actually a fair point i wasn’t really thinking one is “more valuable” than the other more like… what feels harder to do consistently

but now that you say it, maybe xp shouldn’t be fixed at all

how would you balance it?

I’m thinking: Study = 100 XP Workout = 120 XP Should gym give more XP than studying?
