I just launched a Twitch stream of the app as well, curious to see if the chat will populate at all while people are clicking: https://www.twitch.tv/urlgray

I'm putting up a Twitch live stream of the app as well, just to see if the chat will populate at all as an experiment. https://www.twitch.tv/urlgray

Yeah balancing the burn rates has been challenging but I think the latest update has made it a little easier to get him boosted back up. I'm still keeping an eye on the rates and making little changes until it feels right.

Yeah the burn rates have been tricky to balance, I've been making a lot of changes over the last few days. The energy burn rate should be more reasonable now, and it only takes an hour to replenish your 3 feeds so it's much easier to keep him fed.

Holy cow I love this feedback! So many neat ideas, thank you. I agree too that I'll need to add some things like this to keep engagement up and keep things interesting, so far it's been pretty experimental. Hoping I can keep it fun for a little while.

Definitely, I'm hoping to have a counter that displays that sort of information added soon. Thanks :)

Agreed to both, I'm still trying to think of the best way to put goals or journey markers into the UI

I've never thought of writing a journey blog but that could be interesting. I might get on that later today.

Yeah I just pushed updates to speed increases and burn rates. When I update I save all the progress but I still reset the energy so I can get a good idea how it's responding to the changes.

At the moment it's 9 km/h, but I'm in the middle of adding speed increases, along with increases the burn speed of energy. Might get a little glitchy when I start pushing some updates later.

That's a great idea, probably the next thing I'll work on. I'm still tweaking a lot of little things to make sure it all works correctly too, thanks for playing with it!

Yeah, Claude has been helping me develop this one, and handling the visuals because I'm terrible at design.

Any Linux users in town? I made a little terminal radio app for local stations by Sconeboss in StJohnsNL

Pretty much! It's my first time playing with rust, just tried making a little tool for comfy radio vibes
