my big thing right now is trying to figure out what rate stats should increment and decrement at. since i don't have a way to like. send notifications. i feel like they should only change while you've got the game actively open? none of the timings i've played with feel right tho. genuinely open to opinions on this.

ooo, what order number were you? I'm getting so impatient waiting for an email!
2154! it looks like it actually shipped yesterday but i didn't actually get the email until today lol
thanks, mine is 5571 so I think I'm still at least a week or two off, ah well
nah you’re a couple days off. the ship rate picked up HEAVY this week and it looks like they’re sending out around 1k per day
Sure! So when things have a half life, there's like x-many days/weeks/years that go by before half of that thing has gone away from when you first measured it. Usually it's because of radiation in real life examples. There's a function that tells you the amount left of the thing after some time t that's called an Exponential Decay function. With the right kind of half-life (each thing that exponentially decays has a specific half-life), you could apply this function to a given stat to see how much is left given how many days or weeks of time there's been between plays. I have no idea if that would feel good from a game play perspective, but I thought it might be an interesting way to model stats declining over time without being too punishing
oh this is an interesting way of thinking about it, i might try prototyping it to see how it feels
