Quiz Creator Update
🕑 Added 2024-11-08 17:23:52 +0000 UTCWanted to drop you all a quick update on the new Quiz Creator I'm working on.
First of all, it'll have its own window where you can search and look up quizzes created by others and friends. As part of this, I plan on making it possible to set up to two descriptive tags on your quizzes, that can be used by players to filter for specific types of quizzes.
The current tags I got are the ones listed in the screenshot, but if you have any suggestions for additional tags, let me know below!
Next up, as for the release date of the new system, I'm still hard at work finishing everything up for it, but I hope to release the early access for level 3+ Patreons on Wednesday next week. Going to be a couple of late nights to get everything ready for then, but unless something unexpected pops up I should be able to make it.
The early access will mean only level 3+ Patreons will have access to create and publish quizzes, but everyone will be able to play the published quizzes.
Finally, to avoid people spam publishing quizzes, I'm planning on adding some restrictions to it, such as a minimum level and a limited amount of publish within a timeframe. I haven't decided on the final numbers yet, but I'm thinking either level 10 or 20 to get one publish each week, with a new Patreon perks for level 3+ Patreons allowing them to publish 5 quizzes each day no matter the level.
It'll still be possible to share quizzes between friends without publishing them first, they just won't be discoverable or playable by players not on your friend list.
That's all for this time, looking forward to sharing the Quiz Creator with you all soon!
Oh, and if you have any questions about it, post them below and I'll do my bes tto answer them =)
----Edit-----
I've also been thinking of another way to monetize the Quiz Creator, by making it a feature unlocked by either buying it with Notes, supporting the Patreon or paying for it. (Everyone will always have access to play the quizzes, this is only about creating them)
The idea going something like: To unlock the Quiz Creator you have to pay 100,000 Notes, and to publish quizzes you'll have to pay 20,000 Notes to publish a quiz (you'll still be able to play and share quizzes with friends without being this).
Instead of paying Notes, you can also permanently unlock the Quiz Creator and avoid the fee for publishing quizzes for 5 USD or while being a level 3+ Patreons.
There would still be some limitation (but the same) as to how many quizzes players can publish per day, to avoid people being able to spam them, but I overall think this system is simpler while also helping to fund the game.
Let me know what you think of it =)
----Edit 2----
Worked a bit more on how the Quiz Creator could be unlocked. Based on some feedback I felt the other idea I had with the 100,000 Notes to unlock was to steep especially for newer and more casual players, especially if they also have avatars they want to unlock.
Players gain a quiz slot at level 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25, for a total of 5 slots.
When creating a new quiz players need an empty quiz slot.
Players can buy additional quiz slots for 25,000 notes.
It's possible to get unlimited quiz slots by paying 5 USD (one time) or while players are a level 3+ Patreon backer.
Quizzes can freely be edited, deleted and shared with friends as long as they're not published (made available for everyone).
Once a quiz is published (which can be done for free), it'll no longer be possible to edit or delete it, but after 14 days players will get a new quiz slot to make up for the one taken by the published quiz.

I like the idea of incentivizing pay through the patreon/donation while still allowing dedicated players with a ton of notes to publish quizzes :) Very excited for this feature!

Ah true. It would also be annoying to have a tag for each (winter 2024, spring 2025, etc) as well, because that's just more upkeep. I didn't consider it that way, sorry! Excited either way though, my friends and I have been thinking up ideas for quizzes already :)

Did consider a "current season" tag, but it would become absolute after a season end, and I want tags to be more permanent >.< But the plan is to allow people to set titles for their quizzes, which can be searched. So for seasonal, I imagine people naming them something like Fall 2023. Vocals, chanting, instrumental are interesting tags, through they might be to specific and something you would include in the title, but I'll have to think about them, thanks for the suggestion =)

A tag for “current season” might be useful! Otherwise, maybe a tag for vocals vs chanting vs instrumentals?
