SUMMER of GAMES 2023: a full month of daily releases!

[James Plays Games]

I'll get over it. I mean, there's plenty of awards I'll never get from before I joined the site, plenty of awards I'll never get for games I'll never play, plenty of awards I'll never get for games I DO play but suck at...

But for now I'm just upset that I wasn't aware the event was even happening, and therefore missed out in participating on Day 1. Previous years started in July, and this one started in August, so I was not expecting it. The timezone thing is also very easy to forget about, with this being a site that reaches players across the entire world. It's not reflected well on the website, and you only get a reminder that it's a thing by either being too early for a day, or too late.

Players are asked to enjoy, and take part in, a month-long event and get rewards all month long, so to permanently miss out on rewards during the event can be frustrating. I think it would be more fun if there was some way to make up for missed days and maintain your streak while the event is ongoing. Maybe something where, if you missed opening the chest for a game, playing that game for the first time or a few times would still give you credit for the day you missed. Something that would further encourage players to give new games a try and remain invested in the event.

HI,when i read ist correctly, i get every day a animal achivement, but today i get no animal. do i must ge very day at the same time?

I opened the second chest just now, but didn’t see my cute little animal. (I have the one for yesterday.)
Also, on my iPad, I don’t see the chests when I hold it in Portrait orientation, only in Landscape. Is this the same for all mobile devices?

I also opened the second chest, but also didn’t receive any animal.
Where can we see the animals we receive?

Thanks to anyone that can help

There's 4 animals to unlock:
1 for the 1st day you click the calendar, another one for a few days streak, another one for a 20 days streak, and the final one for having clicked all treasure chest daily.
No more, no less

So if you miss day 1 you still have the opportunity to win the other trophies, but not the last one which would require all days to be clicked.
For thoses who missed them, sorry about it, but it's the same rule and functionnality we offer every years for more than 3 years.
Is there some stuff to be fixed ? Always.
But that's also the beauty of having limited trophies. This shouldn't affect the joy to discover games and indies, on a daily basis .

Thank you very much for your response <3
Thank you very much for all the hard work that you guys put on this game <3

Just one more question, where can i see the animals that i have earned?
I looked everywhere but can't seem to find the one i won on the first day

Ah, ok, thanks. I read this “ BUT. If you click the newly released game EVERY day, you will unlock achievements to beautify your account. Unique. Beautiful. And this year the trophies you can get from this unique event are... cute animals.” in the announcement as meaning there was a daily animal as well as a daily game. Thank you for clarifying.

I checked, and it's not there!
Is yours there?

Don't worry as we will have more events like this, but we will make sure you're warned wayyyy before.
It's also a way for us to know the reach we currently have on our newsfeeds, social networks and interactivity coming from them.
A way to challenge ourselves to know more about what is seen/what is not, and how we should handle stuff like this.
We learn everydays, and we are thankful for your feedback.

Don't forget that it's mostly about games being released, but we understand clearly that this kind of small challenges can be more fun when they include everyone in the best way.
Btw we have one question for thoses who felt left behind: would an email about it have helped?

Cant find that treasure chest anywhere on the site. Try different browser but cant find the treasure.
How to find it?

[Sirumi]

If I click the chest it says server error. Chest does not open. Tried on mobile and PC.
