Test Games (and a question for all!)
The objective of a test game is to break the game as much as possible for the sake of quality assurance. I would appreciate if the Royale testers would notify me of all the bugs/exploits that I may not be aware of, but for the most part you all did a great job finding all the issues with the game and it has made me so excited to open the gates to the public!
When Royale enrolment opens, I plan on allowing everyone on the site to try out the game. The question is, down the line should this remain the case? Should all players who signed up for Royale be split into different games or would you prefer a "reaping" situation? I want the game to be accessible but I also want it to stay feeling special, so let me know your thoughts!

NO REAPING TO RISKY
I think everyone here is saying the same thing… keep the reaping but people have to wait 2 cycles before being able to be reaped again. I think that’s a great idea to keep the casts more random and fun :)
Poof that’s not gonna keep the cast random unless we wait for a 100 to join then randomly split into two games. Same premades will just try to join when it’s their time
Poof i feel like there are 150ish regular players on the website... if u make 50 people wait 2 cycles before being able to join the game there just wont be people to fill the games... 3rd week 2/3rd of the playerbase woudnt be able to play the game
reaping is fun but dont allow anyone who has played in the last 2 before that game
Do another reaping for the second game but don't let the people who were in the first game play so 50 others get a chance
Lmao no reaping please. I think there definitely should only be 1 cycle happening at all times (to keep the special feeling of it). Then once a game ends enrolment opens up so you have to catch it at the right time if you want to join the next game.
Reaping is more fun
Keep the reaping please. I feel like the mods should be able to look and place folks where they think it's fair
Team Reaping for sure
I feel like the reaping may cause some people to not be able to play idk
make the arena smaller as time goes on to prevent people from stalling the game to a standstill and to ensure more fights
reaping for sure
I loveeddddd the reaping. While I was sad all my friends didn't get in, I loved the challenge of having to make connections
hwest14 all of this <3
if you have multiple games at once i think there should still be multiple reapings like you did with the 1 on Sunday
Reaping
Reaping but also an idea, something along the lines of the top 25-50% of the prior cast is not allowed entry into the next one to keep casts fresh and to prevent the same large group from running everything like how hunger games had their groups within the cycles
Pipes, true, cause technically we are dead. How can ghosts play?
I think it should stay open enrollment because we don't know how long the games will last. Some people may just stall just to annoy others (or be scared to make a move) who want a chance to play unless there is something in the game that deals with that style. If you want it to stay "feeling special," maybe once in a while have a themed game where the winner could get an exclusive flame like those who get Blackout do. But it just depends on what your vision of "feeling special" means.
REAPING! You get to buy as many reaping tickets to the level of flames you have! Make the flames tie in somehow.
BUY raffle tickets like celebrities. Firsts of the month at a certain time do a bingo style reaping with everyone who bought tickets.
I think a waiting room so it splits into 2 games of like 24-30 is smart so it kinda limits pre-mading a little bit since hunger is a big premade worry.
I really enjoyed the reaping! It challenged all of us (well, most of us) to reach outside our comfort zones and friends to meet new people and put our trust in people we didn't really know. That made this game incredibly fun for me.
a reaping :)
I want to try it next :) then I'll give my feedback.
I truly had so much fun playing it my only complaint is I feel like Wires could be change and I hope food is spawned more then poison berries
I also really enjoyed the reaping aspect to try and avoid premades
I really enjoyed the reaping aspect because it was really fun to watch all the people get picked
I think that it should be a reaping. And a live one at that. I LOVED how camp this past reaping was and if its going to be big casts it allows for people to get in. But I think this game mode should be as special event styled as celebrities, maybe a little less event oriented. I do think maybe two games of 50 or one crazy game of 100 might be fun at a time. Let the community rally around people, maybe even add a fantasy team style draft like you do in celebrities
GabCo or just a choose one person you think will win.
A monthly raffle !?
Crayadian the reaping was fun maybe have it in a page like bingo is tho. Wasn’t a fan of the twitch thing. The page should also play the anthem on repeat
and add the 4 click thing like in race so autoclickers cant be clickin pls !!
Very fun !!! I think it should stay a reaping but maybe split into two games!? or if its 100 cast thats alot !! I think certain rooms should also only give certain items to make people have to stay together and maybe lead to more fighting
the reaping was the best thing ever BUT only do it if you include the monologue at the start too
I definitely do not want it to be like hunger where we have to wait a couple weeks to play again. Let it be its own thing just like how celebrities is seperate from what stars was.
I loved the game really, for me just need to fix the weapons can be more easier to use in phones, but the idea of the game is perfect, congrats 😊
Cristi This.
id say probably do a reaping situation of like a lobby of 102 people or something so 2 games can run simultaneously
TeaFiercelyBoots I thought the game was supposed to have 100 people. It was only 50 for the test run
