This how you make a platform unusable

One of the first problems we ran into for Fantasy in My Backyard was prompt inspiration. Because we are using factions more tied to specific knowledge domains (mythology, fairy tales, etc.) Players without a nerdy background in each subject felt like they couldn't come up with ideas.

the big decision facing backyard right now
November 17, 2025 at 4:11 PM
An important point is the social component that has only grown over the past decade. There is a cohort of younger players who play to hangout with friends and are unlikely to play alone, even if it regards the same game.
More players in the UK (58%), US (65%), Germany (60%) and Japan (63%) still prefer Singleplayer games over Multiplayer games.

Younger people are more likley to choose MP games.
