Please Be Nice :( - A Constantly Evolving User-Created Game

Please Be Nice is a free game which allows the first person to beat the current build to submit a feature they want added to the game. This feature will then be added and the cycle will restart.

Now in it’s 98th cycle, as you can imagine people have requested some very outlandish additions, such as “giant star boss, wearing googly eyed pants” to “add bird jesus”. Since it’s inception the game has morphed from a from a very simple, get from point A to point B on a single screen game, to a multicoloured fever dream where you can control the horned-head of Nicholas Cage in a top down shooter, firing turtles and being rewarded with a big picture of a cat for reaching the end of a level.

That's a really cool idea they should do every genre imagine a football game u win one game and change it so the ball is a bomb and you have to score before a time limit or BANG. That would make football interesting for me at least.

Beta Fatigue: Why People Will Keep Paying to Play Unfinished Games, But Shouldn’t

Matt Marinett from PC Gaming Enthusiast writes:

"...it has become increasingly hard not to notice that, on PC, it seems like half of all gaming these days takes place using some variety of unfinished software. Whether it’s the aforementioned extended betas, the Early Access offered through Steam, early development alphas offered to crowdfunding backers, or just simple preview and demo copies, much of our discussion of, and interaction with, PC games occurs prior to those games’ actual release.

Naturally, gamers are almost never paid for this, and sometimes, such as with much of the content on Steam Early Access, gamers actually pay for the opportunity."

I think open beta platform is worth it. There are games like Battlefront that are going to determine potential server capacities and other variances prepping it for launch.

E3 – Please Be Nice :( Hands-On Preview | Twinfinite

Twinfinite writes, "Please be nice :( is a game with a defining quirk. The first version of the top-down game started out simple: move your character from point a to point b. No obsticles, no complications. Just a simple goal. But here’s where things get interesting. The first person to beat a version of the game gets to suggest a new feature. The feature is added, a new version is released, and then the process repeats. Things start out innocently enough, such as the addition of walls, enemies, and lives, but things quickly become chaotically amazing."
