here are my thoughts about last night (9/10/26)'s forky playtest. i could only stay for one round unfortunately and even then it was mostly like 1hr30 outta 2 since it started at 10pm EST and i've got the sleeping habits of an 80 year old. anyway
WHAT I LIKED:
extremely funny time. laughed a lot while playing from both just seeing people around and struggling to communicate with my fellow greys
lot of good roleplay happening. not that it doesn't happen on normal funky, but it felt like people were trying even harder
really enjoy the "real time" aspect. people rping like it was 3 am was nice
at least for me, a service worker, the vision cone wasn't that bad or obtrusive. lot better when there was a tip about getting rid of the noise filter
WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE SO MUCH:
the map kinda stunk. super tight to where getting around was kind of confusing. the vox box/cafe kitchen had no food supplies no fridge no blender and no beakers, which is bad because->
cooking was seemingly a lot more ingredient-intensive now. 45 flour to 15 water to make bread means this requires a BIG beaker and lots of space. i wish the updated/larger recipes were in the guidebook so i hope that comes in real forky
i hope that everyone gets custom emotes for forky. this is a minor thing
overall i had a lotta fun and am looking forward to more playtests and real forky. i want to make an unngu
