Incremental Games - a magazine for discussing and posting incremental games.

!incremental_games@incremental.social https://incremental.social/m/incremental_games (it seems the first link doesn’t work, sorry)

This is a community for discussing incremental games, which are games which revolve almost entirely around the process of making numbers bigger (I’m simplifying a bit here - what makes a game incremental is rather vague and has spawned a considerable amount of discussion over the years). The most well-known example of this type of game is probably Cookie Clicker, although its mechanics are considered outdated by current standards. Other notable examples include Universal Paperclips, Antimatter Dimensions, and Kittens Game (these are fairly old too).

Discussions from the viewpoints of players and the viewpoints of developers are both welcome there.

Disclaimer: This community is not exactly new. There was a post in !fediverse@lemmy.ml about the community around half a year ago. However, someone said it would be perfectly okay to make a post here despite that so I posted here. Also I’m not a mod of this community but am fairly involved with it.

Rules

The rules for behavior are a straight carry over of Mastodon.World’s rules. You can click the link but we’ve reposted them here in brief, as a guideline. We will continue to use the Mastodon.World rules as the master list. Over all, be nice to each other and remember this isn’t a community built around debate. For the rules about formatting your posts, scroll down to number 2.

1. Follow the rules of Mastodon.world, which can be found here.

A. Provide an inclusive and supportive environment. This means if it isn’t rulebreaking and we can’t be supportive to them then we probably shouldn’t engage.

B. No illegal content.

C. Use content warnings where appropriate. This means mark your submissions NSFW if need be.

D. No uncivil behavior. This includes, but is not limited to: Name Calling; Bullying; Trolling; Disruptive Commenting; or Personal Criticisms.

E. No Harrassment. As an example in relation to Transgender people this includes, deadnaming, misgendering, and promotion of conversion therapy. Similarly Misogyny, Misandry, and Racism are also banned here.

2. Include a community title and description in your post title. - A following example of this would be New Communities - A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.

3. Follow the formatting. - The formatting as included below is important for people getting universal links across Lemmy as easily as possible.

FAQ:

Q: Why do I get a 404?

A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.

Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?

A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn’t get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn’t actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.
