I'm currently making a very experimental forum game and I need your help. The core idea of the game is that the player characters are individuals in a persistent world. Players give their characters goals (go to [location], try to kill [character], find a job etc.) and on each turn they are notified on any changes (travel, weather, health etc.) and presented with an event. The players are given multiple choices with how they deal with the event, for example: if they happen to meet someone new they could choose to strike up a conversation, try to start a fight, or ignore them. Their pool of events is determined by their situation, their character traits, and their goals.

I would really appreciate if you would take this survey to give me an idea of what the setting should be and what features and systems I need to make first.

Just make the game the way you want it. Otherwise, you won't be into it, and it will die.

The question I'm most interested in is "What kind of goal, if any, do you think the game should have?" It's simply a part of the design that I haven't really considered. As for the setting question, my original idea (a massive crossover) would have burned me out before I'd even started. Now I simply can't decide. The supernatural element question was thrown in there because I was curious as to what the answers would be.

Just as a note, if you end up with favorable result for the mutations/transformation, I believe Piecewise made a program that uses the metamorphica for you.

My suggestion is to make the end goal open ended, but have specific ways to accomplish that task that every player can tackle.
