Archipelago

Yalls probably already know what Archipelago is because I talk about it so much, but for anyone who doesn't: it's a video game randomizer platform that lets you randomize multiple games together. Like, your sword from Zelda could be in a level Super Mario 64, or your Surf from Pokemon could be in a puzzle in The Witness. Playing each game is required in order to be able to make progress in the other ones. You choose which games you want to have in the multiworld and you choose settings for them too. You can play on your own, or with friends! I've played in multiworlds with over a hundred games before.

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone here would be interested in doing a multiworld together! It could be an async, which means that we set it up and then each just play our games whenever we have time. I know that most of the people here aren't like Big Gamers, but there's a lot of available games, so you might find something you're interested in! And I can totally explain how to set things up.

The list of officially supported games is here: https://archipelago.gg/games. There's also like three times as many unofficial games that are either in beta or work perfectly fine and just aren't official yet. There's a spreadsheet (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... d=58422002) listing these (although I'm not sure if it's 100% kept up to date; most information is in the Discord, which I think is an awful idea).

My top games are Lingo (the one I literally maintain lol), The Witness (my favorite game ever), Celeste (my second favorite game ever), Link's Awakening, and Shivers. There's a bunch of other ones I like too though like A Link Between Worlds, Pokemon Emerald, Anodyne (complicated history there though), Oracle of Seasons, and Animal Well. The games have differing levels of complexity, but playing in an async format tends to smooth things out a bit.

What do yalls think?

I'm not sure I can sit down and play a game for long enough to be a good partner in an archipelago party, but looking through the titles I gotta say there's some fun shit in there; Old School Runescape? Sudoku??? A fucking Zork game?

I'm not sure it's for me but it looks like y'all having a grand time over there.

Edit: Clique. Fuck yes Clique, the greatest game of all time

Someone tried to generate a multiworld with 10,000 Cliques and nothing else and it never finished generating lol.
