Can’t believe I spent all morning panicking about getting that puzzle made in time only for no one to be online or interact in any way until hours later

#scheduled #arg #arg writers #alternate reality game #like bro I was so stressed I had to go run errands and eat with some friends and I was checking the time every minute

When someone in your collect suggests something that would lead your group to the answer and everyone else ignores it and it doesn’t get done

#help please ive been trying to get you to find this for so long #arg #arg writers #alternate reality game

When your 2 main players tap out for personal reasons so you don’t have anyone available who cares about your arg

#this is not great #arg #arg writers #alternate reality game

Watching your collective theorize and discuss the storyline you made is the greatest thing ever

Going down a rabbithole of research into making/planning another arg instead of focusing on my current arg and the last-minute puzzle that I have to release tomorrow

How to tell your players that they are doing the right thing to find more clues but the software they are using isn’t expansive enough to do it right

#arg #alternate reality game #arg writers #punching air rn bc they probably are going to miss a lot

The process of dropping new arg clues when you have anxiety:

Design clue month(s) in advance

Push clue out of your mind until it’s closer to time to release

Overthink clue for a week and be unsure if it even makes sense

Panic for 30 minutes leading up to releasing the clue

Be disappointed that your players have lives outside of your game and that they don’t see your clue immediately

Decide everything is actually fine and wait patiently all day staring at your computer until they find everything you hid in your clue.
