Player and Narrator Achievements
I think adding Achievements to Storium would offer incentives for both Players and Narrators to both complete existing stories and try new things in others. Achievements could show up as badges on a person's profile and would be visible to all. Achievements could be things such as:
Played a Female Character
Played a Male Character
Played a Character with a Disability
Played a Evil Character
Played a Good Character
Finished a Medical Drama Game
Finished Fantasy Game
Narrated Mystery Game
Narrated a Game with Cast of 3 Members
Narrated a Game with a Cast of 7 Members
Narrated a Game with _ Number of Scenes
Finished _ Number of Games
Character Death
So on and so forth... In my mind Achievements would only be given out when a game is completed. I'm not sure how hard this would be to implement, but I think it's worth taking a look at. Giving players and narrators incentives to finish games I think would decrease the amount of games that get abandoned and it's great fun! It'd also be great if badges could also link to the games that they were completed in.
Just a thought.
User profiles now list Storium Achievements, including ‘The Basics’, character-related achievements, hosting & narration achievements, gameplay-focused and community accomplishments. THanks!
