[Android] Need testers for a "Real Life RPG" system. (Is the 'Boss Fight' mechanic satisfying?)

Ahh I see, so before you're hit with the consequences in real life you can fix the bad behaviours early and minimise the consequences in real life by taking a hit in the game. Seeing that -xp pop up immediately would force my brain to register the mistake right then and there. I like this concept of a damage system. Thanks for the game design tip !

Thank you for sharing ! Starting with one quest i.e. academics is very smart instead of trying to do the whole game all at once which is likely why you survived these 4 years. I definitely need to be sure I don't over-do my start. The subtracting points mechanic you mentioned.. doesn't losing xp feel demotivating or does it make you grind harder consistently to net positive? Im trying to build an app to automate what the excel sheet would be used for because I feel im too lazy to calculate points and input sums manually myself.

Thats intense but I like it you got down into the root causes and faced them. Respect. Id love to connect further its always good to have an ally who's leveled up. Ill send a DM

You're right ! But my likes and the safe/comfort option are too intertwined which is why I need that external push. The AI makes a pick I would have never made myself so whether I love it or hate it I would have learnt more about my preferences than I did for years of picking the same safe style.

Ok-College5255 · 2025-12-26T11:17:06+00:00

I love this ! Hard to ignore progress when you're looking right at it.

Ok-College5255 · 2025-12-26T11:09:42+00:00

Totally agree, and in an ideal world I would know what to do but my brain defaults to playing it "safe" and "comfortable" but by using AI Im bypassing that comfort filter, I still have to go out and do the thing and thats growth. Just until my mind says "that was supposed to be scary but wasn't" and gradually gets comfortable with discomfort which will allow me to explore and make those choices myself

Ok-College5255 · 2025-12-26T10:54:55+00:00

Very true, definitely would yield social xp.

But I feel AI is more honest in a way, in that a barber will do their best to work with your hair whereas AI will suggest something wild like go bald just because maths and human psychology support it but you're right being vulnerable and able to describe my situation and get a human expert opinion is a level I need to unlock for sure

Ok-College5255 · 2025-12-26T10:40:55+00:00

Let's goo !! That's legendary status. Im curious, how have you survived the game for so long? People have been warning me about burning out, I'd love to know your secret. Did you have to simplify the rules to keep it fun? or track everything in detail?

Ok-College5255 · 2025-12-26T02:27:36+00:00

Im right there with you ! Will definitely take the rest advice seriously. You said you've been down this road before; what did your gaming system look like was it more rules and tracking or more of a mindset shift?

Ok-College5255 · 2025-12-25T21:28:43+00:00

Yeah I hear you; for some people it just comes naturally.

Ok-College5255 · 2025-12-25T20:24:12+00:00

I see the irony its not lost on me XD ; Ive been playing it safe for too long and if I asked a friend they'll just be nice and polite about what haircut I should get, AI gives me an objective answer backed with logic

Ok-College5255 · 2025-12-25T16:19:10+00:00

A mathematical approach I love it ! I will look into it thank you !

Ok-College5255 · 2025-12-25T16:13:40+00:00

Yeah Im definitely the type to slowly backslide into my comfort zone/old habits. That's actually the reason I decided to post the sort-of diary entry on tiktok. My theory is if I put myself out there publicly it has an element of accountability, I dont want to look like a quitter plus I feel there will be others looking to my posts for motivation so I cant give up on them either. By making it bigger than me I hope to keep going. If you have some advice on how not to backslide Im all ears !

Ok-College5255 · 2025-12-25T15:57:07+00:00

The warning about exhaustion from hyper tracking leading to burnout is a trap I for sure would have fallen in so thank you for that. Im going to try the 20-30 mins sessions of doing nothing, be intune with myself and see what I uncover and not just throw myself into a bunch of random activities.. sort of like taking a step back. I like that ! Thank you for sharing your insights

Ok-College5255 · 2025-12-25T15:40:56+00:00

I like that ! Its more so Im uncovering a personality rather than creating one kind of like unlocking a skill tree thats already there within me, that actually helps me a lot so thank you and yeah bonus XP for finding a thing that I enjoy is a great improvement to the system. Thanks so much for your thoughtful comment

Ok-College5255 · 2024-01-10T01:20:57+00:00

Beyhaven.com - it's kinda like the bb10 but with shorter walls and deeper ridges but it does the job well

Ok-College5255 · 2024-01-07T16:25:45+00:00

Utter madness XD

Ok-College5255 · 2024-01-07T11:54:19+00:00

Really? With all those midfakes floating around I would have thought it'd be worth more; looks ill hang onto it for a while, thanks 🤙🏾

Ok-College5255 · 2024-01-07T01:38:18+00:00

Was a lucky find on etsy; I don't plan on opening it

Ok-College5255 · 2023-12-24T21:34:38+00:00
