If you take one message from this letter, let it be this: Organize! Seek out a local mutual aid group via Mutual Aid Hub or join a progressive political organization like the DSA. Whether you're providing aid, receiving it, or working alongside fellow progressives, solidarity is our strongest tool.

The following is both a call to action and a guide for building a socialist movement that will not only resist but overcome the regressive forces steering our nation.

The Democrat Party has Betrayed You ​

The US is also a one party state but with typical American extravagance, they have two of them.
-Julius Nyerere

Trump's victory isn't simply a failure of the American electorate—it highlights the absence of a true progressive candidate. The Democrat Party, despite its claims, hasn't delivered on key progressive issues. From the civil rights movement to women's suffrage to gay rights, change has always come from grassroots struggle, not the political elites. The Democrat party's consistent move rightward has betrayed working-class interests, serving capitalist agendas instead.

While the Biden administration touts economic recovery, public sentiment doesn't match. Wage stagnation, unaffordable housing, and unaddressed inflation expose the gap between their rhetoric and the lived experiences of most Americans. Despite popular support and a government trifecta, his administration failed to raise the national minimum wage or fix it to inflation. They've failed to institute or expand price controls on food or rent. They passed the inflation reduction act of 2022, but it was not enough.

Harris' platform was not even socially progressive, as evidenced by their non-action on trans rights. Harris dodging a question a month before the election about protecting trans rights by saying "follow the law", despite the law currently being transphobic and actively getting worse in many states. She then took a transmedicalist stance on trans rights, saying she only supported gender-affirming care when a doctor deemed it "medically necessary".

Harris campaigned on unity, which to her meant courting Republican figures, most notably Dick Cheney and his daughter Liz Cheney. This underscores the Democrats' strategy: appeal to the right, even at the expense of progressive values. This is why "pushing the party left" is a pipe dream - the DNC would rather lose elections than adopt a truly progressive platform. The most clear example of such resistance to progressivism is when they ensured Bernie Sanders could not win the 2016 primaries.

We Need a Progressive Movement ​

We may have all come on different ships, but we're in the same boat now.
- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

America is at a crossroads. The re-election of Trump signals a dangerous shift toward reactionary politics, but we can't rely on the Democratic Party to provide an alternative.

Direct action, especially mutual aid efforts, will be crucial in the coming years. Many marginalized communities will be targeted by the state, and we must be ready to provide support outside of traditional systems that have repeatedly failed them. You can find local mutual aid groups through Mutual Aid Hub, and help your local community.

Trans rights are currently under attack both nationally and in most states. You can use the Trans Legislation Tracker to keep up to date, and from there you can contact your representatives or join local protests.

Joining local progressive organizations, such as the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) or even fully socialist ones like the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), will help build a strong foundation for a larger political movement. These organizations can serve as vehicles for collective action, allowing us to pool resources, share knowledge, and coordinate efforts on a larger scale.

If you have local unions or cooperatives you can join or support, that will also help your fellow workers and increase the visibility across America of democratic socialist structures working.

Eventually, our goal must be to replace the Democrat party with a legitimately progressive party. Various progressive policies and ideals are gaining popularity across the nation, regardless of political affiliation: impactful policies like protecting abortion rights, raising the minimum wage, universal healthcare, or protecting trans people are supported by most Americans. This election campaign has shown us appealing to the right does not bring in new voters, so we must appeal to the left, addressing the material conditions of the working class and uniting people around a shared vision of a better future.

Don't be Neutral ​

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a socialist...
- Martin Niemöller

In times of political upheaval, apathy is a luxury we cannot afford. Choosing "neutrality" is tacitly supporting the status quo, which continues to harm marginalized communities and entrenches inequality. But worse than apathy is insisting on civility - demanding "polite" protests while ignoring the injustice that fuels them. As Dr. MLK Jr. warned, prioritizing order over justice will only perpetuate inequality. Real change requires confronting power structures directly, often outside the confines of "acceptable" political channels.

America's political system, with its electoral college, first-past-the-post voting, and powerful lobbying, is inherently undemocratic. These mechanisms are designed to preserve the status quo, limiting real choice and stifling progressive voices. History shows us that meaningful change has rarely come from the ballot box alone but from grassroots activism and sustained pressure. If we want to transform this system, we must do more than vote—we must mobilize, protest, and demand a better future.

Never be deceived that the rich will allow you to vote away their wealth.

Mainstream media, owned by the capitalist class, will frame progressive issues as divisive or fringe. They will cover our failures but not our successes, and certainly not report on when we need your help. To break out from this bias, use news sources like Jacobin, Current Affairs, and The Intercept. Check out FAIR, a progressive news source that tackles corporate bias in media. Educate yourself on progressive causes via accessible resources such as Second Thought and Our Changing Climate. And if you have the time, reading political theory and understanding class struggle empowers us to cut through propaganda and equip ourselves for the fight ahead. In a world of influencers and culture war politics, improving our political literacy and seeing beyond the Republican vs Democrat dichotomy is imperative.

The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum - even encourage the
more critical and dissident views. That gives people the sense.
that there's free thinking going on, while all the time the
presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the
limits put on the range of the debate.

Conclusion ​

It is our duty to fight for our freedom.
It is our duty to win.
We must love each other and support each other.
We have nothing to lose but our chains.
- Assata Shakur

This is a frightening moment in our nation's history, but we are not powerless. By organizing, educating, and building solidarity, we can lay the foundation for a progressive future. Join an organization, get involved in mutual aid, and prepare to support a new party that prioritizes people over profit.

The path ahead is not easy, but it is necessary. Together, we will challenge the establishment, demand justice, and build a society that works for everyone. The struggle is just beginning—let's make sure it ends in victory.

Play it here!

An Open Source game made in Profectus over the course of 1 month by myself and other devs I know in the Incremental Games community!

I had the idea of an advent-style game that unlocked new pieces of content every real-life day a couple days before December started.

This was one of the most hectic months of my life!

Play it here!

An Open Source game made in Profectus over the course of 1 month by myself and other devs I know in the Incremental Games community!

I had the idea of an advent-style game that unlocked new pieces of content every real-life day a couple days before December started.

This was one of the most hectic months of my life!

I'm super happy with how it turned out. It ended up being way more ambitious than I anticipated but the end result is super large and awesome!

Anarchism is a political philosophy centered around the idea that authoritative hierarchies are unjust, and aim for a society completely devoid of a state. They see a state as inherently self-preservationist and oppressive, thus that it has no place in society nor the transition to an egalitarian society.

Broadly speaking, flavors of anarchism can fall into 3 categories: collectivist anarchism, which is what this article will focus on; individualist anarchism, which are right-wing versions of anarchism based on Individualism; and modern anarchism, which are adaptations of collectivist communism to include additional hierarchies, such as anarcha-feminism which seeks to abolish the patriarchy in addition to class hierarchy. I'm personally biased against individualist anarchism but align with the values present in many collectivist and modern flavors of anarchism. I believe an ideal society is one with strong Local Communities that operate as a collective; spreading power as thinly as possible to avoid the possibility of any individuals becoming corrupt and abusing their power.

Decision Making in Anarchy ​

Flavors of anarchy will differ on whether decision making should exist at all. Egoism, an individualist flavor of anarchism, argues against not only any kind of collective decision making, but against society itself. Collectivist flavors of anarchism typically allow for group decision making in some form.

Group decision making under anarchism is typically modeled after a flavor of democracy. Majoritarian democracy, or Direct Democracy , is the idea that everyone gets a single vote and a measure passes if most people are in favor of it. A Consensus Democracy as described in Consensus is the idea that measures should only pass if nobody is opposed to it. This typically means in lieu of voting, individuals can "block" a measure by saying they disagree with it in part of in whole, and the polity must then decide to drop the measure or tweak it until it can pass without any blocks. Some forms of consensus democracy will also allow for measures to pass despite a small number of blocks, for the sake of making it feasible without constant gridlock when scaling up.

There are criticism of group decision making as anti-anarchistic in any form. In both of these versions of democracy, the polity is collectively agreeing to have some form of rule or agreement in place, and once agreed to, an individual typically cannot rescind their consent to that rule or agreement. In majoritarian democracy, up to half the polity may have never even given consent for that rule in the first place. Even in consensus democracy, discussions will often break down into compromise and eventual resignation in order to get measures passed, which is not a "true" version of consent. Typically supporters of these decision making processes will justify them as necessary of a society to function.

I'm personally a fan of consensus democracy. I agree with the justification that a society will naturally and necessarily contain social relationships that lead to things like compromises, and that "persuasiveness" is a permissible hierarchy out of necessity for society to exist.

Democracy in Statist Society ​

As a quick aside, some anarchists are critical of the term "democracy" here, as it may carry baggage of how democracy is implemented in a statist society, or disingenuously try to copy over the positive associations democracy has within western society. An anarchist would typically flat out reject any form of Representative Democracy due to representatives inherently imperfectly abstracting the will of their constituency. They would argue representative democracy strictly gets better the closer you get to everyone having a representative that perfectly matches their positions on all issues, which is of course then equivalent to a direct democracy.

Assigning Roles in Anarchy ​

A flavor of anarchism that allows for group decision making typically also allows for roles to be assigned. If the group agreed that a specific person is in charge of making sure livestock don't escape, or another person is in charge of drafting a design for a new building being proposed, then that's completely fine. However, no person fulfilling a role should be considered un-replacable, as that imbues that person with unjust coercive power. That means roles should have redundancies and an answer for "what if this person threatens to stop performing their role unless we capitulate to their demands?"

Motivation Under Anarchy ​

Anarchism relies on the idea that there are enough individuals motivated to systemically fix problems that they will do so without direct personal gain (beyond the problem being solved), and that others will not block those efforts, even if the policy won't help them in particular. I believe this would and does hold true. I believe our society being filled with greedy individuals is primarily caused by our society rewarding greed (see Social Constructs and Materialism). Anarchy Works starts by addressing this argument. Without the profit motive and returning to a culture of collaboration and mutual aid, greed would for the most part become a non-factor in policy making. Those who are already at the top of the hierarchy don't want to lose their position, and have thus been propagandizing that hierarchies are necessary/inevitable, and even just. This concept gets discussed in The Alt-Right Playbook: Always a Bigger Fish.

Accountability under Anarchy ​

Anarchy requires Police Abolition, as a carceral state is, obviously, a state. Emma Goldman's essays on anarchism include a chapter on Prisons: A Social Crime and Failure. Suffice to say, there is no state sanctioned violence in a state-less society. With that in mind, if someone breaks a rule or otherwise acts anti-socially, the anarchist society will have to rely on other methods of accountability.

Like prison abolitionists, anarchists would prefer systemic solutions to problems. If someone had to steal food from another at risk of starving, the solution is to ensure food (and other needs like shelter and healthcare) are accessible to all. Technology has made it trivial to provide for everyone; In America, there is more food waste than it would take to feed all the hungry, and enough vacant houses to shelter all the homeless. The scarcity is artificial, created by and maintained by those at the top of the hierarchy.

After meeting everyone's needs, crimes should essentially go away. When accidents happen, there's no need for consequences but the community may make changes to help prevent accidents from re-occurring. If the incident was caused by someone's needs not being met (e.g. food or healthcare), then they should be supported rather than punished. For the remaining edge cases, there is typically reliance on social consequences. People are less likely to associate with someone with anti-social tendencies, and that person may eventually just have to leave the community if no one remains who is willing to associate with them. This should be exceedingly rare, however.

Scaling up Anarchy ​

A core principle of anarchism is "free association", referring to how individuals should be able to freely enter and leave agreements between anarchist organizations. This is freedom to collaborate with whoever and however you like. These organizations are then typically considered rather ephemeral; temporary arrangements that can dissolve at any time as the needs and desires of those within the arrangement change. Scaling this up, it applies to communities/polities as well. A community can freely enter or leave agreements with other communities, and individuals can freely enter and leave those communities.

One thing to be wary of with free association, is that it can incidentally support segregation. It's therefore important for communities to encourage diversity as much as they can, and refuse to associate with bigoted communities, theoretically discouraging those bigoted views through social and material isolation.

Bookchin, a philosopher who was anarchist but abandoned the term while remaining anti-statist, described a society called Communalism which effectively operated as a confederacy of communes. The communes would operate via consensus, and the confederacy by majoritarian rule, dictating things like allowing communes to join or leave the confederacy. This was an attempt at an alternative to anarchism that would more easily scale up, but is considered fairly controversial amongst anarchists.

There is an organizational concept called sociocracy that has roots in several proto-anarchist thinkers. Sociocracy For All describes it as "one particular way to put anarchist values into practice" in Sociocracy and Anarchism. Their structure closely resembles what I've described and advocated for here, and they've provided guides enabling many organizations to uphold anarchist values.

Anarchy and Capitalism ​

The definition of individualist anarchism, one of the three categories defined in the introduction, is quite contested amongst anarchists. Some deny that its distinct from collectivist socialism and worth consideration, others claim it includes anarcho-capitalism, and yet others deny that capitalism is even compatible with anarchism at all. As the broad categories are just a Social Construct trying to make it easier to analyze different flavors of anarchism, I think its sufficient to say individualist anarchism is not really a useful term, as it typically needs clarification upon use of what individualist anarchism means to that author specifically.

I will take a strong position in favor of the argument that capitalism is inherently incompatible with anarchism, though. Capitalism inherently forms hierarchies by introducing currency as a coercive force that is then required for continued survival. Anarcho-capitalism, the theoretical blending of capitalism and anarchism, argues for a stateless society with a market economy, effectively instituting laissez-faire economics. Anarcho-capitalism argues this market would regulate itself naturally due to the exchange of goods being purely voluntary, however this ignores capitalist incentives that would trend the economy towards wealth accumulating in the hands of the few. This creates a coercive hierarchy, which is not voluntary due to people's need for food, water, and shelter. The only way to avoid this unjust hierarchy would be with a form of regulatory body that would be nothing short of a state. Therefore, anarcho-capitalism is not compatible with anarchism, because despite their shared antipathy towards states, they do not share the underlying antipathy towards hierarchy.

Anarcho-capitalists argue that their vision of anarchism is the only form that could possibly exist in reality, as any other form necessitates a state in order to handle things like the redistribution of private property. However, this argument itself implies the necessity of private property as a concept. Collectivist forms of anarchy such as anarcho-communism or mutualism demonstrate how economies can work without private property.

Anarchy in the Workplace ​

Typical American corporations are very hierarchical, with a few hands at the top having ultimate say over the company - what it does, how much it pays its employees, who it fires, etc. Worker's co-operatives are alternatives to corporations that are entirely worker owned and operated, with a flat hierarchy that meaningfully improve worker's rights and help shift society more socialist.

This dynamic means technological progress works in employees' favor, rather than owners' (since the employees are the owners). For example, lets say some technological innovation made employees twice as productive. Under a capitalist structure, the owners would have no reason to increase compensation based on the increased production, and in fact would be discouraged from doing so. They'd likely either use the increased productivity to sell more products, or half the workforce to cut down on significant expenditures. Under a socialist or anarchist structure, the needs and desires of the people are most important, so workers are likely to either see increased compensation due to their increased productivity, or reduced hours without a reduction in compensation. The co-operative could still decide to also just utilize the increased productivity without reducing hours nor increasing compensation, but the decision to do so would have been consensually made by the workers themselves, not their boss.

China enacted a policy in 2024 to make all of its corporations operate democratically, with a "Employee Assembly" made up of up to 100 workers, that can decide on things like firing supervisors or, in big companies, appointing 1/3 of the board of directors. That goes a long way in democratizing the remaining private businesses in China.

A form of democracy similar to Direct Democracy but with higher requirements for passing policies, typically requiring unanimity or near-unanimity. This helps reduce (although doesn't eliminate) the possibility of a majority group oppressing a minority group.

Consensus democracy encourages and requires innovative solutions to problems (similar to how Police Abolition) and pragmatic compromises. However, this can make them susceptible to "design by committee" and can make policies impossibly difficult to pass for large groups of people.

Since consensus democracy doesn't scale well, larger governments could be structured as a federation of smaller governments. The smaller governments still use consensus democracy, but the federation only adopts policies that a super-majority of the smaller governments have agreed upon. Alternatively, the federation could specifically ask the local governments for policy proposals, then use Direct Democracy to decide whether to approve it or not, still requiring a super-majority.

For policies that still are unable to pass federally, local governments could form coalitions that organize larger-scale initiatives between several districts. For example, this could empower efforts like transit systems between districts.

Transitioning to a direct democracy will face difficulties in finding an initial set of rules that people can agree with.

Alternatively, the federation could specifically ask the local governments for policy proposals, then use Direct Democracy to decide whether to approve it or not, still requiring a super-majority.

For policies that still are unable to pass federally, local governments could form coalitions that organize larger-scale initiatives between several districts. For example, this could empower efforts like transit systems between districts.

Transitioning to a direct democracy will face difficulties in finding an initial set of rules that people can agree with.

Something with no central source of authority. RSS, email, and the Fediverse are common examples of decentralized systems. There are many intricacies and potential pitfalls involved in allowing anyone to spin up their own server and join these large networks, but I believe they're often well worth it to solve the problems of centralized software. In practice though, even a lot of decentralized software can have the issues of centralized software due to the difficulty in migrating between servers, the difficulty in creating your own server, and the difficulty in picking a server, which typically leads to the consolidation of users in a handful of large servers (which are then similar to centralized services). I try to tackle those issues and suggest a new generation of federation without them in Fedi v2.

The typical (potential) advantages of decentralized services over centralized ones involve things like data ownership, increased privacy, having either no rules to follow or rules you more closely align with, the ability to customize your experience with custom servers or clients, protection from enshittification, and the democratization of improving the service.

I think there's been a long trend in the early 2020s of criticizing centralized services and looking for alternatives. Unfortunately, the network effect, transition costs, and issues with the alternatives have stymied their adoption. I'm still optimistic that we're approaching the point where a federated network will truly take over and replace these centralized services, and drastically impact the shape of the internet going forward.

Dice Armor is a game that started development as a semester-long project by a team of nine: a producer, a creative director, a narrative writer, an artist, two programmers, and 3 game designers. The information here is about my contributions as the lead programmer over the semester because I can show off stuff like the editor scripts I wrote. I was doing everything from interface coding, editor scripts, integrating Babble Buds, and of course, everything related to the gameplay itself. To date I'm still the lead programmer for the game; for more up-to-date information on the current state of the game please visit the official site.

The build available here was created for showing off at the end of the semester, and as such has some buttons present to make the game easier to skip parts of the game to see all the content: You start with all the dice in the game already in the shop, there's a button to give yourself free money to buy these dice with, and in the duel, there are buttons to force a win or a loss, which can be used to skip the tutorial (not recommended for first-time players).

Dice Armor is a dice dueling game. Players can use abilities, flip dice, and attack each other to win in a dice game that puts chance into the hands of the players. This is what the dueling scene looks like, with a tutorial cutscene happening on top to guide the player through the basics. Also, all the dice are constructed dynamically, using quaternion math to figure out the placement of each component relative to the face it is going on. The die in the middle has one of the player' and opponents' portraits on each of its sides.

For many of the objects I've created, I've made scriptable objects so that game designers can add and modify them easily. Additionally, I would create custom inspectors for the objects to help make them as easy to understand and edit as possible. The opponent's artificial intelligence is made up of many strategies, in a prioritized list. When it is the opponents' turn they go through each strategy and check if they can be run, and if so then the opponent performs the strategy and starts back over at the top of the list of strategies. The + sign under the list of strategies opens an organized dropdown of all the various strategies.

In addition to custom inspector code, I've created new tools for the editor for our game designers to use. This is a duel simulator that will take two opponents and simulate an arbitrary number of duels between them, and output the results and summarize them for you, much much quicker than manually going through the duels, even with an absurdly high timeScale. This will become incredibly useful in making balance changes and testing new dice against existing sets. This is a screenshot of it in edit mode, but in play mode it removes the "Dueling Managers" field and will use whatever the current duel balance settings are, allowing for the GDs to test freely in play mode without worrying about undoing all their changes afterward.

I created the Babble Buds puppet editor and ported the rendering library I wrote for it to C# so it could be used in Unity. Dice Armor has a full campaign using cutscenes made using the Babble Buds cutscene editor, taking advantage of its support for custom commands and fields to control things like talking, giving the player dice and money, starting duels, and controlling player progression through the story.

When a cutscene ends, its final command is to either start a duel or set the next cutscene in the story. In the latter case, there is an additional field for what to call the next cutscene, and what location it takes place. The cutscene is then added to the player's save file, and when they visit the city locations are greyed out until they have at least one action to do there. Each location has a dynamically populated action wheel with a custom range of acceptable angles.

The dice shop is dynamically populated by a list of dice available to the player, which can be changed during cutscenes, and is checked against the dice owned by the player to generate sold-out indicators. On the left, the player can choose to filter the options down to a single dice effect, which also updates the "Buy All" button to buy only all the dice in the current filter.

The inventory works most the same as the shop, but for equipping dice. It also allows you to drag individual dice or entire sets to the equipped dice glyph. While dragging it will highlight all the slots the new dice will be equipped into.

The dice rolling uses the physics engine and detects once the dice have stopped moving, then determines which side is face up based on which of the normals is closest to straight up. It flags the die as cocked if that smallest angle is above a threshold. The dice sink into the table when not rolling to not interfere with any dice that are rolling.

During certain events like winning the game or having the face of a die broken, the players' portraits will flash an emotion for a second. After winning, a random living die from the winning player is chosen to play their "finisher move", a flashy and dramatic effect to end the game. Shown is the arcane mechana's finisher, "Missile Storm".

The Problem with Global Social Media ​

Digital spaces (Social Media) lack locality. If you see a post or thread, you'll see comments and replies from all sorts of people from all across the world and across the ideological spectrum, and you won't recognize a single one. There are no neighbors in cyberspace. This leads to interactions feeling a bit impersonal, as both the interaction and the other person only matter for this brief period of time, and you'll likely never interact again.

The only exception to this are influencers and people who are highly active within specific communities, who will gain a reputation through their name recognition. However, for people who aren't influencers or aren't highly active, these will be one-sided relationships (parasocial). The systems have been designed, often intentionally, to elevate a handful of accounts to celebrity status, a form of class struggle in the attention economy.

The virality sought after by influencers can sometimes happen to "normal" users as well (essentially randomly and non-consensually). This results in the phenomomen of people having their posts "blow up", reaching a much larger audience than intended and with it a lot more attention than intended. People who fall victim to this receive large amounts of negative attention that can seriously impact their mental well-being.

Networks with Digital Locality ​

I believe healthier communities should allow for a higher concentration of recognition, as that will lead to more meaningful relationships. This would mean a shift to smaller communities that aren't dominated by a couple personalities. Ones where you see the same people regularly. This would be in alignment with Dunbar's research on communities, which found there's a cognitive limit to how many people we can meaningfully "know". He discusses his research and how it's held up over the years in this article.

Discord creates an environment like I describe, at least within it's smaller servers, but introduces a new issue in doing so: Discord servers aren't porous. You're either in the server or not, and you can only reach outside a server by fully joining another. This means that it's more difficult to actually discover people with which to form these meaningful relationships.

A network based on digital locality should operate more similarly to neighborhoods in the real world - you're most likely to see those living closest to you, but you can still see others by just going a little further out. It's "porous" in the sense that you aren't limited to your immediate neighbors; It's a gradient, where more effort will always allow you to reach more people, rather than hitting a wall.

Unfortunately, with car dependent society this analogy breaks down a bit, as now people are covering such a large physical area regularly that its still rare to see a familiar face while, for example, buying groceries.

On a forums for discussing design of social spaces, this post describes how a sense of locality could improve social interactions online, due to social media not having discrete concepts of "living room" discussion versus "public square" discussion. We're both getting at this idea of limiting the reach of posts, or at least making it more intentional to make a post to be shown to everyone.

Building the Network ​

There are various values and principles to keep in mind when building this network.

Decentralization ​

It should already be clear by how I've described this network, but a lot of its design is specifically trying to limit the reach of individuals. Philosophically, this network is opposed to centralization. The same way no user should accumulate power and influence over other users, the network itself, and whoever runs/maintains it, shouldn't either. Centralized ownership and moderation over the network leaves it vulnerable to enshittification and other problems.

In practice, this likely means using something like the Agentic Fediverse as a base. Either way, ensure servers are only useful as relays; replaceable and without authority. Also design the protocol so that it can be improved and built upon without the need for a central authority. This goes beyond the efforts of AcivityPub and AtProto, which enable federations of smaller centralized authorities, not full decentralization.

Moderation ​

Being decentralized does not mean it cannot be organized and moderated. Decentralization is not an excuse to not moderate, and stopping the spread of hateful content does shouldn't be objected to on the principles of free speech.

I discuss how to organize without introducing authoritarian hierarchies while exploring the philosophy behind Anarchism. I explore decentralized moderation in my proposal for Fedi v2. The network of vouches idea I describe in the moderation section is prototypical of the principles of locality describe here.

Moderation is pretty tricky though, and while I believe the above can be quite effective, particularly at eliminating spam, this is something that will need review and iterations. No social media has solved the moderation problem. As this article points out, it's easy for moderation to have unintended side effects, particularly for marginalized groups.

For specifically tackling the problem of keeping fascism out of a community, I recommend this video (and the whole series) by Innuendo Studios.

Avoiding Filter Bubbles (or echo chambers) ​

The natural argument against what I'm describing here is that it would encourage the creation of filter bubbles. But I'd like to counter that argument by saying you're tackling the wrong issue, and that filter bubbles are typically innocuous and abolishing them would be actively harmful to marginalized communities. I've written a lot about filter bubbles on their own page, so I recommend you check it out.

Webrings ​

Erlend discusses a similar concept to locality in his blog post Federated Webrings, which describes how the old internet would make frequent use of webrings to connect similar sites. This would effectively create digital neighbors and make both the site owner and visitors connect with the owners and visitors of the other sites in the webring. Although I think these webrings become a bit too large and centralized. I would've preferred to see them work more like cooperatives, with some form of democratic decision making.

Erlend's suggestion for bringing webrings back is through the use of communities using shared topic-specific rooms. For example, several rust game development libraries having a shared chatroom for discussing game development in general. This makes the communities more porous, so members can discover related people and communities.

I recommend reading through the rest of Erlend's writing and keeping up with their projects. They've done a lot in this sphere, both while working at discourse and since, and are leading the charge for designing and implementing the agentic fediverse.

IndieWeb ​

Personal websites form a fully decentralized social network called the indie web, which focuses on data ownership. However, it's quite small due to the technical and financial barriers to creating a website. Due to the lack of centralization or algorithms, sites spread primarily by being linked to by others. That brings it close to what I'm describing here, although without asynchronous chat I don't think it's quite what I'm looking for.

MUDs ​

What I'm describing is also a lot like a MUD, classic online games where players existed in a world of connected rooms, where they interacted via a command line interface, including local and global chat. If it were decentralized and people all had control over their own room, it would look a lot like what I am describing (but much nerdier and less modern). It's a big inspiration for a lot of these ideas.

The Chromatic Lattice Experiment ​

I've been working on designing a game, chromatic lattice, that will involve social elements and be a "living game". It would avoid issues with the network effect by justifying it's existence with it's gameplay, similar to how many MMOs work. This makes it a great testing grounds for some of the ideas discussed in this document, particularly with respect to a community with digital locality.

A person's board will act as their profile page, and will include a local chat room (as opposed to the global one), a description, a list of people actively on the page, and a friends list that can be broken down into categories. Cursors also appear on the board for all users, although those can be toggled off in settings.

The idea is that whenever someone isn't actively working on improving their design, they can be visiting other players and chatting. They should still be able to see their resource amounts and buy upgrades while "abroad".

These chats will need some system for messages being reported, and users banned or silenced. No private chats - those will have to be taken to matrix, which every player will have.

The friend lists effectively work as the links between nodes, creating locality. Everyone has a link to their own board accessible at all times, and from there to their friends. All links would also show a count of how many people are on that board.

In addition to friends, you can jump to a players board or to wherever the player is by right clicking their name in global chat. You can also share links to your board off platform as well.

In theory, by making friends public and mutual, and showing the count of who is actively there, we should see clusters forming. My concern would be everyone just joining a single board, but hopefully stuff like wanting to discuss different topics can naturally prevent that from occurring.

I'll consider this experiment a success if people actually explore the network by jumping between boards, and if there are more messages sent in local chat than global chat. I'd like the average amount of players in a non empty room to be close to log_2(active players).

A placeholder name for a theoretical new federated network that is client-centric, in contrast to the server-centric Fediverse. Many of the ideas here will be implemented as described or similarly by people much smarter than me as part of Agentic Federation on Iroh, an initiative by the Weird developers.

Motivation ​

The current fediverse, while in theory fully Decentralized, in practice suffers many of the issues associated with centralization. This is primarily caused by the friction of having to pick a server and the non feasibility of individuals buying a domain and setting up a single user instance - both of these causes lead to a handful of large servers with the bulk of the users. You can see this in action by looking up the relative sizes of lemmy and mastodon instances. Single-user Mastodon Instance is a Bad Idea goes over the non feasibility of self hosting and how it contributes to a handful of servers having the majority of the users.

The promise of federation is the ability to interact with the whole network, while being able to fully choose and customize how you yourself interact with the network. In practice though, clients are severely limited to what they can do based on the server software. Of particular note, Lemmy and Mastodon show content in different formats (threads vs microblogs), and no clients allow changing how they're displayed, or respecting the format of the source of the content. Clients also are unable to change sorting algorithms or how downvotes are handled - those are all dependent on the server. A Plan for Social Media - Rethinking Federation similarly criticizes how much of the decisions are dependent on the server, which most people won't be able to or willing to self host.

The pick a server problem is such a problem because not only do you have to pick what server has moderation policies you align with, but that you're also linking your identity with that server. Smaller servers tend to be more focused or niche, which is unlikely to fully encompass any person's entire identity. Why would I confine myself to being thepaperpilot@writinglovers.com if I'm more than a writing lover? Additionally, I'm risking that the community at that instance won't grow away from things I want to associate with, such as fascism or crypto. My identity could end up being associated with things I drastically don't want it to be.

Nostr fixes the pick a server problem with a properly decentralized identity, however it's done so by associating itself with crypto and the alt right, and fixing that culture problem is more effort than it's worth. It'll be difficult to gain broad adoption as anyone using the platform will have to take care to explain how they're using nostr but aren't alt right.

ATProto by bluesky offers a version of federation built for a handful of large instances, but allowing smaller servers to be spun up that can implement custom sorting algorithms, views, etc. Your identity can be tied to a domain you own, if you have one. This fixes a couple of the problems where you're unable to change certain things dictated by the servers, but doesn't quite go far enough. Their PDS system is very similar to what we're going for, but it's still tied to signing up at (and then relying upon) specific servers.

NextGraph looks very similar to what we're trying to build. My only note is really that it gives a bit of a crypto vibe through decisions like calling identities "wallets" that I think may make it fall into the same problems nostr has, but conceptually its really similar to everything discussed here, which is great! It should be incredibly easy to interoperate, at the very least.

Identity

The new fediverse should have a fully Decentralized Identity, where it's completely attached to the client rather than any server(s). This means you don't have to pick a server, worry about your chosen server going down, or that yout identity will become associated with an undesired community. It can properly allow you to engage in your variety of interests without having to associate any as core enough to attach your identity to.

This identity can be accomplished by the client merely generating a private and public key, which can then be stored however the user pleases. Reasonably, there's be default options to back up the private key to Google drive or alternatives, as most users will not desire to go the extra effort of backing up their identity without relying on big storage websites. But for those who wish, you could keep the identity solely on the device, or choose your own method of storage and backup.

The client can sign messages using the private key and distribute it through whatever means they wish, and it can be verified as sent by that identity using the public key to decode the message. In this context, messages could also refer to any other signed information, such as a bundle of profile information.

For casual conversation, a nickname in the profile data should be sufficient. Once a client interacts with someone, they can be added as a contact as a way of verifying the next conversation with someone with that username is actually the same person as before. For situations where you want to verify an identity actually has a credentials they claim, you can query a nameserver that vouches for them. For example, whitehouse.gov would have a nameserver that specifies which identity is the actual president of the United States (and other government officials). There could be nameservers that allow you to openly "register" your identity with them to get a unique human readable username you can include on billboards or other visual media where you want someone to be able to memorize the identifier, rather than scan a QR code or something. For more details on how these decentralized usernames would work, check out Petnames.

Through cryptography, you can be confident messages are verifiably sent by someone with access to the private key, and that the message was not tampered with. These are guarantees you can't make with the current server centric fediverse.

If you lose access to your account, it's gone forever. That is why I think there should be defaults to backup your private key to existing reliable servers, even if they're owned by large corporations. Otherwise I would see someone have their phone stolen, lost, or upgraded and be surprised when their account is now inaccessible.

If you do lose your account and create a new identity, you could have others "vouch" for the new identity being an alias for the previous identity. You could verify your new identity with people IRL, and then other clients can see those vouches publicly and, after sufficient quantity, just implicitly assume they're the same (although with some sort of indicator, so if this gets abused, users are at least aware of the possibility of impersonation.

Servers ​

Servers would act as mere relays, whose job it is is to store messages and send them to any other clients or servers that have requested to hear about any new messages. Some relays may also display these messages in a web interface, so that you can still share links to messages online. Because your identity isn't attached to any specific server, you could send your messages out to any servers you wish, and change that list as often as you'd like. It's extremely resilient to individual servers going down.

If you want a private network, say for a school or job, you could setup a relay server that requires some sort of password when sending them messages, and then have that server not federate with the rest of the fediverse.

Servers would give clients ways to subscribe to subsets of all received messages - e.g. all messages, all messages from a specific user, any replies to messages from a specific user, or "shallow" subscriptions to a message, meaning it'll send you only 1 level of replies to that message.

With a decentralized identity and the ability to switch servers seamlessly whenever you want, many of the benefits of self hosting a server are granted to everyone. This means there'll likely be fewer servers than the current fediverse has. There'll likely be enough to ensure redundancy, but beyond that I'd really only expect a couple large servers, similar to how bluesky intends AtProto to have, and perhaps smaller instances by institutions that want to provide storage for the people within that institution. Fortunately, it also means the disadvantages of only having 1 or a small number of servers also go away. We only need enough instances for redundancy, but beyond that we don't need to worry about being locked into a server or your server having rules you disagree with or anything. You'll always have your data, and can just send it to another server whenever you'd like. These fewer but larger servers will be useful for discoverability with less traffic between all the servers.

Content ​

The protocol should be fairly content agnostic, and allow arbitrary metadata on messages that can be used by the community to come up with their own new forms of content to transmit over the protocol. For example, perhaps there's a body field that could include arbitrary text or binary data, and for binary data another field could clarify if its audio, video, an image, or something else.

The signature of the message acts as the de facto ID of that message, for replying purposes. Edits and reactions would be handled by "replying" to a message with a metadata flag indicating what the message actually represents. Edit messages should typically be ignored if they're not from the same author as the original message. We should assume some servers will always make an edit history fully public. Reactions should just be replies without any actual body, and a tag for what the reaction is - either binary image data or a code representing an emoji, like "+1" or "laughing". Upvotes and downvotes could be implemented via reactions.

Edit replies could be sent by people other than the original poster as well. Perhaps some clients would trust edits from a list of identities, but the original poster could also reply to an edit message with an "accepted" message as a form of officially accepting/endorsing that edit suggestion. Clients could also potentially include a list of "proposed edits" that haven't been accepted.

Groups/communities could also be specially flagged messages, effectively allowing for subreddit-style content. Posting to the community is just replying to the message. Subscribing to that community is just subscribing to that message. The original message creator can send edits to update stuff like the description of the community. Perhaps they can also send a message detailing other identities to trust for editing or moderating the community.

A bot could fairly easily be setup to make IndieWeb posts and web mentions use this protocol. Indeed, this protocol is very POSSE-friendly because you could have your original content on the website, and the messages can be spread across the network while allowing clients to verify it was untampered with and definitely came from that website. I plan on writing a proposal for IndieWeb posts to include The IndieWeb/Signature Blocks to enable this. Within this framework, Fedi v2 would not just be a other social media silo. It would be the source of truth, fully controlled by the author. Even if the author cross posts to other social media (silos), we'd effectively still be the original copy.

Moderation ​

Anyone can send edit and delete requests as replies to messages, but they'll typically be ignored since they'd be coming from a different identity. However, you could have clients or even servers honor those requests based on various heuristics - deleting anything that's gotten X delete requests, or trust specific identities to act as moderators. Since individual clients could choose which identities to honor, the moderation is effectively fully decentralized. Clients will probably have a couple identities trusted by default, to check for illegal content or that would otherwise prevent the app from breaking the app store's TOS.

Anyone can spin up their own bots that just automatically send out delete requests based on custom logic, like checking for images that match the CSAM hash list, or messages that ChatGPT says are non-constructive. Through this, the ecosystem will over time allow people to further customize their experience by filtering out unwanted content more and more precisely.

As an alternative or complementary solution, identities could have a system by which they vouch for or against other identities, and clients could use this network of vouches to filter posts to display or retrieve. For example, a user may say they only want to see posts made by identities within a chain of 10 vouches to themselves. Upon account creation, users could be prompted to vouch for IRL friends or some popular figures within topics they care about to get started. In theory the longer the chain can be, the more varied the content a user will see, and the more likely for it to be something they disagree with. This would allow users to customize how narrow their feed is at a given time by just changing the max chain length. They can also continue vouching for more people to more precisely expand their feed. This would essentially be an alternative to how current fediverse applications block entire instances as a heuristic, so they can get rid of undesirable content while minimizing how much of it they need to see before doing so. Except in this model, you can always reach people regardless of what server they decided to use, and the controls of in the hands of the individual.

Clients could include tools to analyze their network of vouches, such as displaying all the identities within certain max lengths, or viewing what chain was followed for a specific post to have been displayed. Clients could also add additional tools to customize the chain, like being able to ignore a specific user's vouches or reposts/reblogs. They could allow specific entities, such as one representing a reddit-like community, to display all replies rather than use the network of trust, and offer controls like only counting likes from within the network when sorting the replies. They could also allow for overriding the max chain length for different contexts, such as when used for counting likes.

Success ​

I believe the main benefits of this new fediverse are mostly going to apply to the techy power users who will appreciate the increased control over their identity and browsing experience. As far as the general public goes, I think the main benefit will be verified authorship and guaranteeing lack of tampering. Specifically, I think this will appeal to notable figures who have to be wary of concerns like that. Reddit and Twitter could edit your content or stifle it in the algorithm, or any other sort of malicious actions. So I think success of this platform will mostly come from seeing notable figures switching to it, and treating is as the source of truth (even if they cross post it to other platforms for increased outreach). Ideally, they even host their messages on their own website.

Component Definitions ​

The agentic fediverse is currently being designed such that messages are entities in a Entity-Component relationship. Component schemas can then be formally defined and then implemented in clients, without the need of a centralized authority releasing formal spec bumps. In theory anyone could propose a new schema.

Here's some initial ideas for components I currently plan on proposing and perhaps even implementing:

  • Community (placeholder name): Marks that replies to this message should be displayed like a collection of threads, reddit-style.
  • Delete: Marks that this message is a deletion request to the message its a reply to.
    • Can be used to delete specific components in the parent message.
  • Edit: Marks that this message is an edit request to the message its a reply to.
    • Can be used to edit specific components in the parent message.
  • Accept: Marks that any requests in the message this message is a reply to were accepted.
    • Takes an optional schema property to identify which specific request component of the parent message was accepted.
  • Reaction: Marks that this message is a reaction to the message its a reply to.
  • Ascii: Describes a text component to be rendered.
  • Unicode: Describes a text component to be rendered.
  • Image: Describes an image component to be rendered. (Or perhaps specific file formats should have their own schemas)
  • Audio: Describes an audio component to be rendered. (Or perhaps specific file formats should have their own schemas)
  • Video: Describes a video component to be rendered. (Or perhaps specific file formats should have their own schemas)
  • Topics: Describes a list of topics/tags this message is relevant to, for use in client searching and filtering.
  • Editors: Describes a list of identities who have the power to edit this message, or accept edit requests to this message.
  • Deleters: Describes a list of identities who have the power to delete this message, or accept deletion requests to this message.
  • No Discovery: Marks that this message should not be included in any global feeds or search results. Servers should only send it to servers and clients that subscribe to messages like this one.
  • Timestamp Requested: Marks that this message would like to receive a response from a trusted server (optionally defined in the component data) once it is delivered. May also include a schema ID that represents what the timestamp represents. Defaults to referring to the published date.
  • Calendar Event: Describes a calendar event.
  • RSVP: Marks that you [are, might be, or aren't] participating in whatever a linked entity is describing.

Chatting ​

The agentic fediverse could theoretically also implement chat rooms, bringing advantages (like divorcing identity from servers) that current decentralized chat protocols like matrix don't offer.

Here are some of the components that could be used to represent a chat room:

  • Chat room: Marks that replies to this message should be shown as messages in a chat room.
  • Bridge: Marks that this identity is a bridge for an account on another service. Implies that the verification of authorship may not be preserved.

Games ​

The agentic fediverse could support sharing games using a Game component that includes a url or raw html required to play a game. In theory they could even support "cloud saves" by signing a message of their save data that only they can decrypt and sending it as a reply to the game message. Clients could handle displaying the game alongside the usual filtering and sorting features.

I'd also be excited in seeing a sort of MMO style game on the agentic fediverse. So you see other players and there's a shared game state, calculated on the client based on the actions recorded by the various different players. And since the rules would have to be defined by the components, people could create their own copies of the world (e.g. to play with a friend group or solo), or even make their own mods of the game. I'd like to look into that. I'll perhaps rethink Chromatic Lattice to work on such a framework, although it may be too complicated for this idea.

Having the game state be calculatable by the client like that would also allow trophies and achievements to work verifiably. People could probably still write software to copy someone else's events at the right times and effectively replicate their save, but I think that won't happen commonly enough to matter.

Permissions ​

Instead of having various different licenses like CC0, MIT, etc., just make each permission discrete. For example, you can have a DoNotTrainOn component that marks that using an entity for training AI models is not allowed.

This is different from the willow permissions system which determines who can read or write to specific entities/paths. This is for telling someone who has read access to your post what they're allowed to use it for.

There should be a component that makes permissions explicit rather than implicit. E.g. assume you don't have the right to do anything unless explicitly stated.

Local identity and contact management ​

If I have multiple apps that use the agentic fediverse (e.g. one for reddit like content, one for Twitter, discord, Google drive, etc.), I'd like to easily have them all use the same identity(s), as well as a shared contact list (so I know the person I saw do something on one app is the same as the person that did something on another app).

To that end, there should be an app/program that manages your identities and contacts on that device. It sets up your initial identity, any cloud backups, etc., and the other apps talk to it as needed. That could be sending it individual messages to sign or asking for a key that can be used to do limited functionality.

Contacts could be signed such that they're only readable by us, and then sent over the network so I can have multiple devices that keep their contact list synced between them

An identity management app could also work as a link handler for the leaf protocol. It could take a schema ID as another path component, which then describes the purpose of the URI and the expected remaining data in the URI. The identity management app can then pass the message along to any app that has specified it knows how to handle that schema.

Sustainability ​

Servers are expensive, especially as they get popular. Most current fediverse instances are free and funded by donations. Things like ads or paying for an account are difficult to do due to the nature of federation. This is a pretty major problem because if a server becomes too expensive to host, it will shut down, along with all the accounts associated with it. Fedi v2 makes individual servers going down not be an issue anymore, since identities aren't attached to them. However, it's an issue if all the instances go down, and if there's no way to pay for them still, why would any instance stay up?

Since instance nodes do not have to do filtering, sorting, or really any other processing, but rather just serving the events and sending out notifications to clients, the cost will be cheaper than the current fediverse. It's really just a file server, which is cheap. For example, idrive charges $40 per tb per year, which is enough for a LOT of content. So I expect some instance nodes to have fairly generous free tiers that will suffice for a lot of users. Idrive also doesn't have egress charges, so the cost only scales with how much content is being published, not downloaded.

For power users, instance nodes could accept payments to store data above the free quota. This would likely most often happen for people wishing to upload high resolution images or videos. A user could also switch nodes after filling a quota on one node - you don't have to delete your content on the old instance. You could also do this to backup your content on multiple nodes (although you should also keep a local copy of all your content).

I assume this aspect of Fedi v2 will be the most controversial - people really like free services, and are expecting it. Knowing they might eventually need to pay to post more will perhaps require a cultural shift. I think it's worth it to not have ads or tracking, and in general we should be supporting sustainable services.

What about Incremental Social? ​

I think Incremental Social can operate similarly to weird.one, hosting an iroh node and storing events for the agentic fediverse for users of the site. We'll generate and manage a keypair for the user, with the possibility of the user migrating their identity.

I suspect the way the identity management app will work to support sites like weird.one and incremental.social is by passing the request for a delegate key to incremental.social, which will then show the consent screen before passing the key back to the app which sends it to the actual fediverse app.

A placeholder name for a theoretical new federated network that is client-centric, in contrast to the server-centric Fediverse. Many of the ideas here will be implemented as described or similarly by people much smarter than me as part of Agentic Federation on Iroh, an initiative by the Weird developers.

Motivation ​

The current fediverse, while in theory fully Decentralized, in practice suffers many of the issues associated with centralization. This is primarily caused by the friction of having to pick a server and the non feasibility of individuals buying a domain and setting up a single user instance - both of these causes lead to a handful of large servers with the bulk of the users. You can see this in action by looking up the relative sizes of lemmy and mastodon instances. Single-user Mastodon Instance is a Bad Idea goes over the non feasibility of self hosting and how it contributes to a handful of servers having the majority of the users.

The promise of federation is the ability to interact with the whole network, while being able to fully choose and customize how you yourself interact with the network. In practice though, clients are severely limited to what they can do based on the server software. Of particular note, Lemmy and Mastodon show content in different formats (threads vs microblogs), and no clients allow changing how they're displayed, or respecting the format of the source of the content. Clients also are unable to change sorting algorithms or how downvotes are handled - those are all dependent on the server. A Plan for Social Media - Rethinking Federation similarly criticizes how much of the decisions are dependent on the server, which most people won't be able to or willing to self host.

The pick a server problem is such a problem because not only do you have to pick what server has moderation policies you align with, but that you're also linking your identity with that server. Smaller servers tend to be more focused or niche, which is unlikely to fully encompass any person's entire identity. Why would I confine myself to being thepaperpilot@writinglovers.com if I'm more than a writing lover? Additionally, I'm risking that the community at that instance won't grow away from things I want to associate with, such as fascism or crypto. My identity could end up being associated with things I drastically don't want it to be.

Nostr fixes the pick a server problem with a properly decentralized identity, however it's done so by associating itself with crypto and the alt right, and fixing that culture problem is more effort than it's worth. It'll be difficult to gain broad adoption as anyone using the platform will have to take care to explain how they're using nostr but aren't alt right.

ATProto by bluesky offers a version of federation built for a handful of large instances, but allowing smaller servers to be spun up that can implement custom sorting algorithms, views, etc. Your identity can be tied to a domain you own, if you have one. This fixes a couple of the problems where you're unable to change certain things dictated by the servers, but doesn't quite go far enough. Their PDS system is very similar to what we're going for, but it's still tied to signing up at (and then relying upon) specific servers.

NextGraph looks very similar to what we're trying to build. My only note is really that it gives a bit of a crypto vibe through decisions like calling identities "wallets" that I think may make it fall into the same problems nostr has, but conceptually its really similar to everything discussed here, which is great! It should be incredibly easy to interoperate, at the very least.

Identity

The new fediverse should have a fully Decentralized Identity, where it's completely attached to the client rather than any server(s). This means you don't have to pick a server, worry about your chosen server going down, or that yout identity will become associated with an undesired community. It can properly allow you to engage in your variety of interests without having to associate any as core enough to attach your identity to.

This identity can be accomplished by the client merely generating a private and public key, which can then be stored however the user pleases. Reasonably, there's be default options to back up the private key to Google drive or alternatives, as most users will not desire to go the extra effort of backing up their identity without relying on big storage websites. But for those who wish, you could keep the identity solely on the device, or choose your own method of storage and backup.

The client can sign messages using the private key and distribute it through whatever means they wish, and it can be verified as sent by that identity using the public key to decode the message. In this context, messages could also refer to any other signed information, such as a bundle of profile information.

For casual conversation, a nickname in the profile data should be sufficient. Once a client interacts with someone, they can be added as a contact as a way of verifying the next conversation with someone with that username is actually the same person as before. For situations where you want to verify an identity actually has a credentials they claim, you can query a nameserver that vouches for them. For example, whitehouse.gov would have a nameserver that specifies which identity is the actual president of the United States (and other government officials). There could be nameservers that allow you to openly "register" your identity with them to get a unique human readable username you can include on billboards or other visual media where you want someone to be able to memorize the identifier, rather than scan a QR code or something. For more details on how these decentralized usernames would work, check out Petnames.

Through cryptography, you can be confident messages are verifiably sent by someone with access to the private key, and that the message was not tampered with. These are guarantees you can't make with the current server centric fediverse.

If you lose access to your account, it's gone forever. That is why I think there should be defaults to backup your private key to existing reliable servers, even if they're owned by large corporations. Otherwise I would see someone have their phone stolen, lost, or upgraded and be surprised when their account is now inaccessible.

If you do lose your account and create a new identity, you could have others "vouch" for the new identity being an alias for the previous identity. You could verify your new identity with people IRL, and then other clients can see those vouches publicly and, after sufficient quantity, just implicitly assume they're the same (although with some sort of indicator, so if this gets abused, users are at least aware of the possibility of impersonation.

Servers ​

Servers would act as mere relays, whose job it is is to store messages and send them to any other clients or servers that have requested to hear about any new messages. Some relays may also display these messages in a web interface, so that you can still share links to messages online. Because your identity isn't attached to any specific server, you could send your messages out to any servers you wish, and change that list as often as you'd like. It's extremely resilient to individual servers going down.

If you want a private network, say for a school or job, you could setup a relay server that requires some sort of password when sending them messages, and then have that server not federate with the rest of the fediverse.

Servers would give clients ways to subscribe to subsets of all received messages - e.g. all messages, all messages from a specific user, any replies to messages from a specific user, or "shallow" subscriptions to a message, meaning it'll send you only 1 level of replies to that message.

With a decentralized identity and the ability to switch servers seamlessly whenever you want, many of the benefits of self hosting a server are granted to everyone. This means there'll likely be fewer servers than the current fediverse has. There'll likely be enough to ensure redundancy, but beyond that I'd really only expect a couple large servers, similar to how bluesky intends AtProto to have, and perhaps smaller instances by institutions that want to provide storage for the people within that institution. Fortunately, it also means the disadvantages of only having 1 or a small number of servers also go away. We only need enough instances for redundancy, but beyond that we don't need to worry about being locked into a server or your server having rules you disagree with or anything. You'll always have your data, and can just send it to another server whenever you'd like. These fewer but larger servers will be useful for discoverability with less traffic between all the servers.

Content ​

The protocol should be fairly content agnostic, and allow arbitrary metadata on messages that can be used by the community to come up with their own new forms of content to transmit over the protocol. For example, perhaps there's a body field that could include arbitrary text or binary data, and for binary data another field could clarify if its audio, video, an image, or something else.

The signature of the message acts as the de facto ID of that message, for replying purposes. Edits and reactions would be handled by "replying" to a message with a metadata flag indicating what the message actually represents. Edit messages should typically be ignored if they're not from the same author as the original message. We should assume some servers will always make an edit history fully public. Reactions should just be replies without any actual body, and a tag for what the reaction is - either binary image data or a code representing an emoji, like "+1" or "laughing". Upvotes and downvotes could be implemented via reactions.

Edit replies could be sent by people other than the original poster as well. Perhaps some clients would trust edits from a list of identities, but the original poster could also reply to an edit message with an "accepted" message as a form of officially accepting/endorsing that edit suggestion. Clients could also potentially include a list of "proposed edits" that haven't been accepted.

Groups/communities could also be specially flagged messages, effectively allowing for subreddit-style content. Posting to the community is just replying to the message. Subscribing to that community is just subscribing to that message. The original message creator can send edits to update stuff like the description of the community. Perhaps they can also send a message detailing other identities to trust for editing or moderating the community.

A bot could fairly easily be setup to make IndieWeb posts and web mentions use this protocol. Indeed, this protocol is very POSSE-friendly because you could have your original content on the website, and the messages can be spread across the network while allowing clients to verify it was untampered with and definitely came from that website. I plan on writing a proposal for IndieWeb posts to include The IndieWeb/Signature Blocks to enable this. Within this framework, Fedi v2 would not just be a other social media silo. It would be the source of truth, fully controlled by the author. Even if the author cross posts to other social media (silos), we'd effectively still be the original copy.

Moderation ​

Anyone can send edit and delete requests as replies to messages, but they'll typically be ignored since they'd be coming from a different identity. However, you could have clients or even servers honor those requests based on various heuristics - deleting anything that's gotten X delete requests, or trust specific identities to act as moderators. Since individual clients could choose which identities to honor, the moderation is effectively fully decentralized. Clients will probably have a couple identities trusted by default, to check for illegal content or that would otherwise prevent the app from breaking the app store's TOS.

Anyone can spin up their own bots that just automatically send out delete requests based on custom logic, like checking for images that match the CSAM hash list, or messages that ChatGPT says are non-constructive. Through this, the ecosystem will over time allow people to further customize their experience by filtering out unwanted content more and more precisely.

As an alternative or complementary solution, identities could have a system by which they vouch for or against other identities, and clients could use this network of vouches to filter posts to display or retrieve. For example, a user may say they only want to see posts made by identities within a chain of 10 vouches to themselves. Upon account creation, users could be prompted to vouch for IRL friends or some popular figures within topics they care about to get started. In theory the longer the chain can be, the more varied the content a user will see, and the more likely for it to be something they disagree with. This would allow users to customize how narrow their feed is at a given time by just changing the max chain length. They can also continue vouching for more people to more precisely expand their feed. This would essentially be an alternative to how current fediverse applications block entire instances as a heuristic, so they can get rid of undesirable content while minimizing how much of it they need to see before doing so. Except in this model, you can always reach people regardless of what server they decided to use, and the controls of in the hands of the individual.

Clients could include tools to analyze their network of vouches, such as displaying all the identities within certain max lengths, or viewing what chain was followed for a specific post to have been displayed. Clients could also add additional tools to customize the chain, like being able to ignore a specific user's vouches or reposts/reblogs. They could allow specific entities, such as one representing a reddit-like community, to display all replies rather than use the network of trust, and offer controls like only counting likes from within the network when sorting the replies. They could also allow for overriding the max chain length for different contexts, such as when used for counting likes.

Success ​

I believe the main benefits of this new fediverse are mostly going to apply to the techy power users who will appreciate the increased control over their identity and browsing experience. As far as the general public goes, I think the main benefit will be verified authorship and guaranteeing lack of tampering. Specifically, I think this will appeal to notable figures who have to be wary of concerns like that. Reddit and Twitter could edit your content or stifle it in the algorithm, or any other sort of malicious actions. So I think success of this platform will mostly come from seeing notable figures switching to it, and treating is as the source of truth (even if they cross post it to other platforms for increased outreach). Ideally, they even host their messages on their own website.

Component Definitions ​

The agentic fediverse is currently being designed such that messages are entities in a Entity-Component relationship. Component schemas can then be formally defined and then implemented in clients, without the need of a centralized authority releasing formal spec bumps. In theory anyone could propose a new schema.

Here's some initial ideas for components I currently plan on proposing and perhaps even implementing:

  • Community (placeholder name): Marks that replies to this message should be displayed like a collection of threads, reddit-style.
  • Delete: Marks that this message is a deletion request to the message its a reply to.
    • Can be used to delete specific components in the parent message.
  • Edit: Marks that this message is an edit request to the message its a reply to.
    • Can be used to edit specific components in the parent message.
  • Accept: Marks that any requests in the message this message is a reply to were accepted.
    • Takes an optional schema property to identify which specific request component of the parent message was accepted.
  • Reaction: Marks that this message is a reaction to the message its a reply to.
  • Ascii: Describes a text component to be rendered.
  • Unicode: Describes a text component to be rendered.
  • Image: Describes an image component to be rendered. (Or perhaps specific file formats should have their own schemas)
  • Audio: Describes an audio component to be rendered. (Or perhaps specific file formats should have their own schemas)
  • Video: Describes a video component to be rendered. (Or perhaps specific file formats should have their own schemas)
  • Topics: Describes a list of topics/tags this message is relevant to, for use in client searching and filtering.
  • Editors: Describes a list of identities who have the power to edit this message, or accept edit requests to this message.
  • Deleters: Describes a list of identities who have the power to delete this message, or accept deletion requests to this message.
  • No Discovery: Marks that this message should not be included in any global feeds or search results. Servers should only send it to servers and clients that subscribe to messages like this one.
  • Timestamp Requested: Marks that this message would like to receive a response from a trusted server (optionally defined in the component data) once it is delivered. May also include a schema ID that represents what the timestamp represents. Defaults to referring to the published date.
  • Calendar Event: Describes a calendar event.
  • RSVP: Marks that you [are, might be, or aren't] participating in whatever a linked entity is describing.

Chatting ​

The agentic fediverse could theoretically also implement chat rooms, bringing advantages (like divorcing identity from servers) that current decentralized chat protocols like matrix don't offer.

Here are some of the components that could be used to represent a chat room:

  • Chat room: Marks that replies to this message should be shown as messages in a chat room.
  • Bridge: Marks that this identity is a bridge for an account on another service. Implies that the verification of authorship may not be preserved.

Games ​

The agentic fediverse could support sharing games using a Game component that includes a url or raw html required to play a game. In theory they could even support "cloud saves" by signing a message of their save data that only they can decrypt and sending it as a reply to the game message. Clients could handle displaying the game alongside the usual filtering and sorting features.

I'd also be excited in seeing a sort of MMO style game on the agentic fediverse. So you see other players and there's a shared game state, calculated on the client based on the actions recorded by the various different players. And since the rules would have to be defined by the components, people could create their own copies of the world (e.g. to play with a friend group or solo), or even make their own mods of the game. I'd like to look into that. I'll perhaps rethink Chromatic Lattice to work on such a framework, although it may be too complicated for this idea.

Having the game state be calculatable by the client like that would also allow trophies and achievements to work verifiably. People could probably still write software to copy someone else's events at the right times and effectively replicate their save, but I think that won't happen commonly enough to matter.

Permissions ​

Instead of having various different licenses like CC0, MIT, etc., just make each permission discrete. For example, you can have a DoNotTrainOn component that marks that using an entity for training AI models is not allowed.

This is different from the willow permissions system which determines who can read or write to specific entities/paths. This is for telling someone who has read access to your post what they're allowed to use it for.

There should be a component that makes permissions explicit rather than implicit. E.g. assume you don't have the right to do anything unless explicitly stated.

Local identity and contact management ​

If I have multiple apps that use the agentic fediverse (e.g. one for reddit like content, one for Twitter, discord, Google drive, etc.), I'd like to easily have them all use the same identity(s), as well as a shared contact list (so I know the person I saw do something on one app is the same as the person that did something on another app).

To that end, there should be an app/program that manages your identities and contacts on that device. It sets up your initial identity, any cloud backups, etc., and the other apps talk to it as needed. That could be sending it individual messages to sign or asking for a key that can be used to do limited functionality.

Contacts could be signed such that they're only readable by us, and then sent over the network so I can have multiple devices that keep their contact list synced between them

An identity management app could also work as a link handler for the leaf protocol. It could take a schema ID as another path component, which then describes the purpose of the URI and the expected remaining data in the URI. The identity management app can then pass the message along to any app that has specified it knows how to handle that schema.

Sustainability ​

Servers are expensive, especially as they get popular. Most current fediverse instances are free and funded by donations. Things like ads or paying for an account are difficult to do due to the nature of federation. This is a pretty major problem because if a server becomes too expensive to host, it will shut down, along with all the accounts associated with it. Fedi v2 makes individual servers going down not be an issue anymore, since identities aren't attached to them. However, it's an issue if all the instances go down, and if there's no way to pay for them still, why would any instance stay up?

Since instance nodes do not have to do filtering, sorting, or really any other processing, but rather just serving the events and sending out notifications to clients, the cost will be cheaper than the current fediverse. It's really just a file server, which is cheap. For example, idrive charges $40 per tb per year, which is enough for a LOT of content. So I expect some instance nodes to have fairly generous free tiers that will suffice for a lot of users. Idrive also doesn't have egress charges, so the cost only scales with how much content is being published, not downloaded.

For power users, instance nodes could accept payments to store data above the free quota. This would likely most often happen for people wishing to upload high resolution images or videos. A user could also switch nodes after filling a quota on one node - you don't have to delete your content on the old instance. You could also do this to backup your content on multiple nodes (although you should also keep a local copy of all your content).

I assume this aspect of Fedi v2 will be the most controversial - people really like free services, and are expecting it. Knowing they might eventually need to pay to post more will perhaps require a cultural shift. I think it's worth it to not have ads or tracking, and in general we should be supporting sustainable services.

What about Incremental Social? ​

I think Incremental Social can operate similarly to weird.one, hosting an iroh node and storing events for the agentic fediverse for users of the site. We'll generate and manage a keypair for the user, with the possibility of the user migrating their identity.

I suspect the way the identity management app will work to support sites like weird.one and incremental.social is by passing the request for a delegate key to incremental.social, which will then show the consent screen before passing the key back to the app which sends it to the actual fediverse app.

Filter bubbles refer to how users may be intellectually isolated as a result of Social Media with algorithmic feeds, coupled with things like personalized search engine results and other services catering to someone's existing preferences and world views.

Are you in a filter bubble? ​

Absolutely, and without a doubt. Filter bubbles fractal inside each other, and most of them are entirely innocuous - they're not the scary boogeyman they've been portrayed as. If your search results are primarily English - you may be in a filter bubble. If the news you watch covers domestic issues within your country more than domestic issues in other countries - you may be in a filter bubble. If the local news you watch covers the weather in your local area but not in areas halfway across the globe - you may be in a filter bubble. These are not significantly contributing to the "intellectual isolation" filter bubbles are said to create, and no one is arguing we must be equally aware of the local weather across the world.

So yes, you're in a filter bubble - likely many, even. But that's not the right question to be asking; We must delve deeper into filter bubbles' causes and manifestations to determine what their negative aspects are and ultimately how to fix them.

Filter bubbles in search engines ​

The author of The Filter Bubble describes what is supposed to be a chilling story of a search for BP giving results on investment opportunities to one person, and news about the oil spill disaster to another. They posit this is indicative of a problem, but I question that the personalized search results did anything wrong here. Searching BP just by itself is a "neutral" search, and so I think its fine for it to have shown results based on what its learned that user usually looks companies up for. The implication is that the former is an individual who regularly searches companies to see their current investment opportunities, and got what they wanted. If this person were to suddenly want to, say, write a report on BP's history or ecological impact, they'd naturally search for something more specific than just "BP", and certainly find the results they're looking for. And of course, there's layers to this - Google is also figuring out what search results the average person usually wants when searching a given term, and ranking those higher. So the more people search for BP to get info on the disaster, the more prominent that disaster will be.

The problems stem from the various biases we all bring with us when researching anything, whether we're in a filter bubble or not. In this regard, filter bubbles are just automated applications of our own biases. For example, if you're researching the impact of the BP ecological disaster, your pre-conceived notions over its impact - and perhaps your personal financial interests - will dictate which sources you read at all, or ultimately decide to reference or ignore when discussing the issue with others. And to be clear, all sources will have a bias. There is no such thing as Objectivity, and even seemingly "neutral" outlets are implicitly defending the status quo of society.

I think most of you may relate to this, because we're all guilty of it, myself included. I've certainly shared news articles based on the headline, and perhaps even spend a bit too much time writing and not enough reading. Research papers in particular are incredibly dry and most people will only read articles about the paper, which may not be accurate, or perhaps only read the abstract, which may not be thorough. I'm keenly aware when citing a source that its unlikely someone will actually follow that link, to the point where it almost feels futile. Perhaps even now you're only skimming this page? Taken together, it seems an article existing with a given headline is more important than any arguments held within it.

Filter bubbles in social media ​

The more insidious issue of filter bubbles is when it applies passively, such as when you're on social media and simply don't see anything about an important topic, say the BP oil spill. But actually, part of the issue here isn't just not seeing the post, as even if someone sees posts about the event, they may be tainted with biases towards their existing world view, and the reader will just accept that interpretation at face value. After all, most users are not going to see a headline and start doing independent research to verify the claims held within the article. Hell, most won't even go as far as reading the article itself - as has been studied many times, sometimes in quite amusing widely shared but fake "prank" articles.

Even if you click a link, you may just skim the results. This is a problem because people are not reading articles to actually learn from them, but rather to confirm their pre-existing opinions on the topic. With that reassurance in hand, they'll share the articles and feel more confident they actually understand the topic.

A lot of the articles even available to share on social media are being crafted especially to be sharable using clickbait, caring more for covering topics profitably rather than ethically. AI slop has significantly compounded this issue by being able to mass produce articles that wholly lack meaningful insight, and is now a major problem for both search engines and social media platforms.

All the biases described above contribute to an especially problematic aspect of filter bubbles: the spreading of misinformation. If people are unwilling to verify provocative but ultimately wrong claims they read in a headline, then how do we fix that? There are different approaches people have suggested: algorithmic suppression by a independent organization tasked with verifying articles' legitimacy like Facebook, relying on community-driven notes like Twitter, or just trying to shift the culture to engage with social media more productively/healthily.

Are safe spaces filter bubbles? ​

The internet is a dangerous place, especially for members of marginalized groups. There are a lot of -phobes in the world, and the internet gives them a platform to harass far more widespread than before. It takes concerted effort to keep them out of communities, as described by Innuendo Studios' How to radicalize a normie. I think we should all be in agreement that it is entirely fine for people to want to filter out this kind of hateful content. So safe spaces are filter bubbles, but also are good and important things to have access to.

I bring this up to really drive home that filter bubbles are not intrinsically good or bad. They happen innocuously and are even beneficial for filtering out certain kinds of content. It's important any solution to the issues with filter bubbles focuses doesn't involve exposing people to, say, those who'd like to see them dead.

The line doesn't have to be at hateful content though. There's any number of content someone may want to filter out - gore, SA, or other PTSD triggers. Ultimately the line is subjective, and where the line is shouldn't be restricted or imposed. Empathy is the key here, and the same way a trans person shouldn't be encouraged to interact with transphobes, no one should be encouraged to engage in any social interactions they deem uncomfortable, even if others don't think it's uncomfortable.

Filtering politics ​

In the previous section I proposed that allowing people to decide what they want to see should is important. Most people can, I imagine, agree with that, barring one notable and often contested exception: politics. Our liberal democracy insists that universal political engagement is required for it to function properly. While I agree politics are critically important, politics should not be an exception that people "must" be subjected to regardless of their consent.

First off, everything is political. Politics have shaped every institution, norm, and cultural artifact in our society. They both reflect and reproduce the power dynamics created by our politics. The reason for anything to not be deemed political is because they've been normalized; the "apolitical" position is typically one aligned with dominant systems of power, such as capitalism, patriarchy, or white supremacy. If everyone agrees on something, it must not be political. As the "How to radicalize a normie" video linked earlier uses as an example: saying "Nazis are bad" might feel apolitical because it reflects a societal consensus, but saying "feminism is good" challenges entrenched norms and becomes "political". This video also goes over how essentially everything is political, through the framework of searching for an "apolitical" video game. Essentially, politics affect all of us and everything is political, and if you believe politics don't effect you, that's probably because the current political and economic systems work in your favor. Privilege doesn't make you feel special, it makes the world feel "normal".

Second, some political topics are deeply personal and emotionally exhausting to engage with, particularly for those marginalized under the current power structures. For example, trans rights are an extremely important political issue, but demanding that trans people continually defend their very existence against reactionary attacks amounts to a form of re-traumatization. People not being exposed to these kinds of upsetting things is not a problem to be solved, and democracy can survive while allowing people to filter out political topics or perspectives they don't want to see. You do not need to tolerate the intolerant (as argued by Karl Popper, who coined the term "paradox of tolerance").

Lastly, this constant pressure to debate is simply not productive. Individuals are often far less interested in arriving at the right answer than they are in winning the debate. Understanding theory and coming to the correct conclusion is a far different skillset compared to debating, and engaging in debates often just further entrenches us in our beliefs regardless of their actual legitimacy. Debaters are all too often ones not directly affected by these policies due to their position of privilege, and for them politics are a purely academic affair with no "real" consequences. Debaters are especially a problem for culturally relevant personalities who receive large amounts of criticisms from people who all demand to have their concerns individually argued against. This practice is called "sea lioning" after this comic. The issue is the sheer amount of criticism, the mental and emotional drain filtering through it can be, and the nebulousness of what even is "valid criticism". Innuendo Studios discussed this concept in Why Don't You Respond to Criticism?.

Admittedly, as a Leftist, I desire revolutionary change and see such transformation as necessary before this framework of consent can fully hold true. Today, the drive to filter out politics often stems from alienation or reactionary thinking—a symptom of a capitalist system designed to depoliticize and pacify the masses. While I respect individual consent, I believe that disrupting the status quo through discomfort is sometimes essential, as liberation requires collective, organized resistance.

Radicalization ​

"Radicalization" is a nebulous term that's been used for a variety of purposes. The ACLU, for example, warns against its usage by saying this:

The government’s “radicalization” theory has become a euphemism for religious and ideological profiling. It leads to discrimination and stigmatization, and is fundamentally un-American. Casting suspicion on American faith or belief communities is wrong and does nothing to make us safer.

Personally, I think the term has been decontextualized a bit, as I see it used today to describe people moving to the left or right. In leftist communities, sharing "what radicalized you" is commonplace and not stigmatized. I think what most accurately describes radicalization is that it's the process of people moving outside the spectrum of acceptable opinion, which in American politics goes from the Republican part to the Democratic party. All other opinions are largely seen as extremist or otherwise untenable. Noam Chomsky describes how this framing perpetuates itself like this:

The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum—even encourage the more critical and dissident views. That gives people the sense that there's free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate. - Noam Chomsky

So, personally, I don't see radicalization as an inherent issue because the current spectrum of acceptable opinion is atrocious (and, separately, an example of a filter bubble that encapsulates most of the US). I'm biased, as by my own definition I'm a radical, but I don't think radicalization should be a reason to fight against filter bubbles. Suppressing it is ultimately a way of enforcing the status quo and enabling those at the top of the status quo to perpetuate their reign.

Of course, I do want to stop people from radicalizing towards fascism. But the solution isn't to restrict all "extremist" content so that only the acceptable opinions are allowed, because fascism is acceptable! The spectrum I've been discussing is so far right that fascist and genocidal rhetoric are normal in our presidential elections and takes like "I won't vote for genocide" are met with "but ending the genocide isn't on the table". Combatting extremism explicitly means supporting our rightwards trend towards fascism.

Jubilee exemplifies the issues I'm discussing here with shows like "middle ground". Besides their clear bias in picking media trained individuals for the right but not the left, they also place the "middle ground" as being between the far right position and a moderate/central position. Funnily enough, it's a great example of why middle grounds as a concept are not intrinsically better than the extremes, as often claimed (again, in defense of the status quo). Drawing a middle point is arbitrary and tied to whatever the currently established spectrum of acceptable opinion happens to be. I recommend this podcast episode that explores the issues with Jubilee and the "free market of ideas". Naturally, they also uphold the principle that marginalized groups should be expected to relive their traumatic experiences with those who wish them harm, under the justification that democracy falls without that.

Echo Chambers vs Filter Bubbles ​

I've been mostly referring to filter bubbles all this time, but it's time to make an important distinction that will really tie this whole thing together. Filter bubbles are simply having preferences towards the kind of content you see being reflected by algorithms. They can be emergent or intentional, are often innocuous and even helpful, and sometimes may be bad. They have no intrinsic moral value.

Echo Chambers is the term for when filter bubbles turn bad. This is the term for when those inside a filter bubble turn against those outside it. When the only portrayal of those outside the bubble are hateful caricatures from those within it. This is truly where the hateful content and misinformation comes from. Echo Chambers are the problem to solve. But since they're composed of two parts - filter bubbles and hateful content and misinformation - we have a choice for approaching the problem.

Traditionally, people argue the solution to echo chambers is removing the filter bubbles. That if people are simply exposed to more ideas, the echo chamber goes away. As discussed earlier, this cannot be accepted when some of those ideas actively wish harm upon you.

The other approach is just solving the issues with misinformation and hateful content directly. They cannot be tolerated, and should be entirely suppressed. Free speech should not protect people actively doing harm upon others.

Moderating away hate and misinformation ​

So if the issue isn't the filter bubbles but rather hateful content and misinformation... what do we do to combat it?

On an individual level, we can try to improve our media literacy and spread accurate information with positive values like DEI and class consciousness. Every person counts, although the system is working against us currently.

On a systemic level, a new social media can be designed so they are more protected from misinformation spreading. For example, by allowing users to publicly "vouch" for other users for writing and sharing accurate posts, forming a web of trust/reputation. Also designing the network so those who are popular are not prioritized in algorithmic feeds, essentially centralizing influence into the hands of the few. I explore this topic and other aspects to a radical new social media network in Fedi v2 and Digital Locality.

Taking a step back, several of these issues described - clickbait and spam, specifically - only exist due to financial incentives brought on by our capitalist system. Additionally, Capitalism is the reason for people not having the time, energy, or motivation to more healthily approach social media and combat misinformation. Therefore, we need a Leftist shift to fix these problems and bring us to a more media literate society free of influencers and advertisers. It's the only long term solution.

Message gardening ​

This is largely theoretical, but something I've been thinking of a lot about are Digital Gardens, and I think the philosophy of them could lead to a different kind of solution to tackling hate and misinformation. Right now a lot of news and discourse about said news is essentially frozen in time. Corrections to stories never get as much attention as the original incorrect story. We have the same discussions over and over again. I thinking we could improve this situation by explicitly framing social media as a tool for building a network of knowledge, like a wiki (or rather, a communal digital garden).

This is something that would need to be explored more before it could be implemented, but I'm sort of envisioning something like twitter's community notes system alongside something like Commune where informal discussions are part of a process of continuously updating a formal document about the topic/event, with new developments, perspectives, and context. I think structuring social media this way, and updating people of important changes to these formal documents people have read or participated in, could lead to a more well informed populace.

Everything discussed in this article falls under the field of sociology, so you may be interested in looking more into that study. I recommend a few of the games by Nicky Case, which share a common thread of exploring sociological concepts:

Gender is a tricky subject, and there are many conflicting frameworks that have been proposed for defining gender and measuring its impact, and other such aspects of it. Judith Butler, for example, controversially describes gender as a performance); We observe how people act, what they seem to enjoy, and what roles they fill in society based on their gender, and then we (often subconsciously) perform similarly, perpetuating the cycle. That makes gender a Social Construct.

Gender is a very sensitive topic, especially as people's identities are constantly under attack within the west. I'd like to make it explicitly clear I support any and all gender identities, and re-affirm that just because something is a construct does not mean its bad or useless. It just means society has decided to give it meaning, and I think gender will be very meaningful to people for a very very long time. These frameworks used for analyzing it and determining its utility are some nice philosophical exercises, but above all it should be clear any political goal should be to eliminate discrimination against marginalized peoples.

There are some people who believe gender is an exclusively unuseful and negative social construct and should be entirely abolished, and see this act as a requirement for liberating queer people and women. You'll see plenty of people push back on this idea, saying they like their genders, though, and sometimes even trying to co-opt "gender abolitionism" as referring to only abolishing gender roles rather than gender itself as a construct. It's seen as a stance that essentially invalidates the motivation behind so many people going through great efforts to transition from one gender to another. An even more pessimistic stance on gender abolition sees it as a return to biological sex, even further erasing the plights of trans people. However, I think as society progresses towards post-scarcity, a lot of constructs will over time see a natural end as they become less useful, and I do think we'll eventually see a post-gender society where everyone is just "themselves", and the realm of self expression is massively expanded, but no longer sees a need for gender as a construct.

Alright, with that established it's time for another controversial take: Biological sex is also a social construct. Sex is a term used to refer to a collection of underlying natural properties from which sex determining genes one has, which sex chromosomes are present, how much of each sex hormone gets produced, which genitals one has, which hormones get processed, what happens during puberty, and so on. Besides the fact there's plenty of people who don't have every single of the above properties cleanly fit into the same bucket, the fact we choose to imbue those properties with meaning makes them a construct as well, and in fact we imbued them with so much meaning we built our entire society around it. Sure, we created gender as a way of abstracting the roles in the society from the natural properties, but ultimately they're both just as arbitrary distinctions we collectively chose to make. And yet, positioning gender as the social construct and biological sex as the "objective" underlying property, you open the door to essentially continue discriminating against a significant amount of the population, using "truth" and "science" to justify their position.

To be clear, I'm not saying biology doesn't matter (and neither does anyone else who argues sex is also a social construct). Obviously someone with a uterus is going to have different medical risks and opportunities than someone without. But using the presence of that uterus to socially and culturally discriminate against someone is not okay. In fact, society placing importance on the number of years spent at a job is a form of discriminating against people who choose to take time off work to be a parent, even if their actual ability to perform that job is not impacted at all. This impacts both career trajectory as well as making it more difficult to even get some jobs in the first place. I recommend Biological sex is a social construct for further exploration into this concept.

Identity, Gender, and VRChat explores how VRChat has enabled people to explore their gender expression and other parts of their identity in a low risk and very accepting environment. I haven't used VRChat myself, but that sounds like an amazing resource for people to be able to use, and honestly makes me hope socializing in VR becomes an increasingly normalized and accessible activity.

For example, Louisiana's most recent redistricting (in 2024) stirred up controversy for a new district, district 6, being drawn with very weird borders, specifically to ensure it has a majority of black voters who were previously more spread out across the districts. This is classic gerrymandering that makes it so that voting bloc determines the result of that district and the one already existing majority black district, but has nominal impact on any of the other 4 districts. But this process is actually being argued to be more fair to black voters, because previous congressional maps, despite appearing more fair, were not very proportional to race by only having 1 majority black district versus 5 majority white districts. This is the racial composition of Louisiana based on census data from 2017 to 2021, and the new congressional map highlighting the 2 districts that are majority black:")],-1),g=e("div",{class:"img-container"},[e("img",{src:s,title:"louisiana-population-by-race.jpeg"})],-1),y=e("div",{class:"img-container"},[e("img",{src:n,title:"LA-New-Cong-Map-1024x885.webp"})],-1),f=l('

Having 2 districts means black voters are represented by 1/3 of the districts, which is remarkably proportional, considering they make up 32% of the population. In this way, the gerrymandering is being employed to make the district representation more proportional by race, which groups like the NAACP argue makes them more fair. I agree with their assessment and think this will make Louisiana much more fair, and that's awesome. Naturally, it is being sued for its obvious gerrymandering however, with arguments that it is making the election less fair, under the definition that gerrymandering is intrinsically unfair.

Both sides of the argument are dealing with conflicting definitions of fairness. Determining it based on how close to square each district ends up is just as arbitrary as making them proportional by race. They could have been proportional by age or party or hobby. And in any case, 6 representatives means the proportions are going to be very crude proportions in anyways - the racial composition showed no other races reached the ~1/6 of a population required to be given a single representative, so is it "fair" that they don't get any representative of their own? And is it even fair to be treating racial demographics as a monolithic voting blocs in the first place? Sure those two districts are gerrymandered to be majority black, but what if they're also all the black voters that voted a specific way, and the ones who voted another way are the ones still spread out across the majority white districts?

These are not new insights, and in fact many argue that congressional districts should just use proportional representation directly, which would allow for larger districts with multiple representatives based on votes (such as a ranked choice vote, where you keep picking the most voted person, redistribute their votes to their next pick, and continue until all representatives picked), regardless of demographics or how anyone decided to draw up lines on a map... Except even then, what if the larger districts are still gerrymandered? What if the state itself is gerrymandered? Louisiana being composed of 32% black voters is "packed" considering the US as a whole only has a 12% black population. And unless we increase the number of representatives, there's likely still going to be demographics and political dispositions that lack even a single representative. But maybe some would argue below that 1 representative threshold, those demographics and political views aren't significant enough to warrant a material impact on how the area is run?

I've been mentioning race a lot here, but I think it's important to understand why that demographic specifically is considered so important to account for here. America is and has been a racist country for a long time, with many issues present in the system itself, and therefore our social constructs as well. Black people have been regularly under-represented in our government and suffered greatly for it. I've been making the case that proportionality by race is a reasonable metric for fairness, but to be honest there's quite a strong case that, due to historical oppression, black people may deserve to be over-represented in order to help them regain equal footing in our society. To help correct the racist parts very much still present in our laws and processes, which may be hard to do if a minority of our representatives are chosen by black people. This adds a whole new facet to our discussion on fairness that I'm only briefly touching on here, but even proportionality may not be considered "fair", due to its ambivalence to historical context.

My personal stance on what would be most fair is actually that representation is intrinsically an inaccurate abstraction of the people's political will. I think the closer we get to having individuals voting directly on the issues the better (see Direct Democracy ), and beyond that I'd ideally prefer a system where policies are workshopped and ideated upon until they can achieve a near unanimous vote before being implemented (see Consensus Democracy ). But hopefully all of this goes to show how complex fairness is, and how there is no "objectively" definition of fairness. Therefore, arguments should not center on appeals to "fairness" like its some objective or authoritative measure. You must be able to justify why your policy improves things in material. And to clarify, I do support the new congressional map that makes two majority black voting districts - I'm all for harm reduction, and that map is the least we can do in trying to make the system more fair, by most reasonable definitions of fairness.

There are a lot of developers in the incremental games community - the genre seems to draw them in, and convert a lot of players into developers. Let's explore the reasons why this genre appeals to developers.

Incrementals are Easy to Make ​

Compared to other genres, incrementals have quite low expectations. You don't need to make fancy art, or music, or lay things out nicely. If you can make a button and learn the few lines of code necessary to make a number go up, you can make an incremental. This low threshold makes the genre perfect for those who are actively learning to code and haven't developed any gamedev-related skills yet.

Additionally, unlike other genres incrementals are uniquely easy to implement in a normal web page - no need to worry about rendering sprites, moving them around, implementing physics, etc. New developers can just use HTML to add a button, and the game is now available in your browser. You don't need to choose an engine, have admin privileges, or hell for the dedicated you don't even need a computer - there are tools for web development that run in the browser itself, so you can technically use your phone if that's all you have.

Javascript is a perfectly viable language for making web games, whereas other genres are typically going to require using other more difficult languages to learn. There are countless javascript tutorials that start from 0 knowledge of programming, making it incredibly accessible to beginners.

Players are Easy to Find ​

Once you've finished your game and uploaded it on github pages or itch or just copied the link if you're using glitch or replit (all of which are easy to do), anyone can now play the game in their browser. This low barrier to entry has shown tremendous success in getting completely unknown developers to have thousands of plays.

The incremental games community, which mostly centers around r/incremental_games, is always looking for new games and tends to flood any new ones posted with initial players.

Having your games be played can be incredibly motivating, and the community makes it quite clear that you can expect players to play your game. These communities - both for incremental games in general as well as game-specific communities - tend to be very developer friendly as well. A lot of the developers know each other, and welcome new developers with open arms, often with dedicated channels for programming help and discussions.

Monetization ​

I'd like to clarify that everything I've said above mainly applies to web-based incrementals. Incremental games are also incredibly popular on mobile, but with a much different culture and community. Many mobile gamers will still participate in the web-focused community for the culture. This web-focused community has a culture that has been criticized for being "anti-monetization". Ads, IAPs, and similar forms of monetization are often criticized, mainly due to the abundance of completely non-monetized games available from hobbyist developers. There are exceptions, like paid games often being considered fine, like Increlution or Stuck in Time, or donation ware games like kittens game, but even popular games that have IAP see some level of regular criticism, like NGU Idle, Idle Skilling, or Idle Pins. A large part of this can be explained by the community being hyper-aware of the addictive) nature of this genre and its susceptibility to exploiting players.

On mobile, however, monetization is the norm and expected. If an incremental game is available on mobile, it almost certainly will be monetized, and mobile players are aware and accepting of that. Mobile incremental games, due to their addictive nature, tend to make a lot of money. It's very lucrative, and therefore these games are quite abundant on mobile storefronts.

This is something that has been discussed and analyzed by many people, and to some extent, I feel like everything that can be said on the topic already has. However, a lot of these analyses are from the perspective of those with not as much experience and involvement within the genre as I'd argue would be necessary for a fully contextualized answer. I'm interested in ludology and part of that includes interpreting games as art, and to that end what constitutes a game, let alone a "good game". Incremental games are oft criticized, unfairly in my biased opinion, of not even constituting games, such as was posited by this polygon article.

Numbers Going Up ​

This is a very common response to why people enjoy incremental games, although it's not one I find compels me personally, and I suspect it might be a stand-in for progression) or Guide to Incrementals/What is Content?. But reportedly, some people do just like seeing big numbers. I must reiterate I suspect the actual cause is seeing big numbers in context though - if you start at 1e1000 of a currency and get to 1e1001, that isn't going to feel as satisfying as going from 1e10 to 1e100, and in any case, I don't think a button that just adds a zero to your number will feel quite satisfying - I believe its the sense of having made progress, and comparing where you are to where you started and feeling like you've earned your way here that is enjoyable.

Progression

I think a strong sense of progression is seen as very enjoyable to many players of all sorts of genres - engine builder board games, RPGs, rogue_lites_, etc. Incremental games tend to have an extremely exaggerated sense of progression, which makes them very appealing.

Meta-progression is when games have some sort of progression that persists when other progress gets lost - for example, upgrades that persist between runs of a roguelite game. These are common mechanics in incremental games - in fact, its not uncommon to have multiple of these reset mechanics nested on top of each other, each with their own meta-progression. These are satisfying to players, although they can be a bit controversial. These mechanics can often be seen as an optional crutch, and in roguelite games, players often challenge themselves to win without any meta progression. Essentially these challenges argue that meta-progression de-emphasizes player skill by replacing it with time served. Incremental games, through their exaggerated progression, eschew that possibility though - they make it impossible to beat without the meta progression systems, as the meta-progression becomes an entire chapter of the gameplay. I'd argue this does not detract from the game, however, and is actually a part of what makes incremental games, and roguelikes, enjoyable to many players: meta-progression augments the increases in skill the player is naturally gaining as they play. In effect, it's not replacing the skill increase, but exaggerating it to make it feel more real to the player.

Effortlessness ​

Incremental games are so easy, a lot of them even have you progress while you're not playing! Part of the appeal is being able to feel like you're making progress while doing something actually productive - multitasking, in a way. In this sense, the game is more of a fidget toy - not something to think hard about and play actively, but something to click a few buttons every so often while you're paying attention to a lecture or studying or working. Of course, not all incremental games lend themselves to being played this way - it's specifically "idle" games that work like this. These are games that take an incredibly long amount of time to see all the content, stretching it as thin as possible, but they aren't expecting you to be sitting at your device playing it the entire time. They expect you to leave and come back later to make a bit of progress and repeat the cycle.

If you look at the higher-level play of most games, you'll see them perform difficult feats with ease and speed. They'll achieve a "flow state" that takes all their knowledge and experience of the game and uses it to play the game as instinctively as possible. It's incredible to watch things like Slay the Spire speed runs or competitive DDR-likes. I'd argue the goal of a lot of games with a competitive scene is to get so good that the game becomes effortless. In that sense, a game that allows you to reach that point earlier isn't any less legitimate, but rather lowers the barrier to entry by allowing more people to get "really good" at the game. And to be clear, (most) incremental games aren't trivially easy - they, and to an extent, every game will have some level of learning and improvement over time.

Addiction

A lot of these reasons for why incremental games appeal may have reminded you of why gambling appeals to people, particularly those prone to addiction. Indeed, incremental games are quite often criticized for their similarity to a skinner box. Some have gone as far as to say incremental games as a genre are commenting that all games are skinner boxes). The argument goes that some games are not fun, but rather condition players into continuing to play without actually getting anything from the experience. When tied to real-world money this is seen as predatory, and to a lesser extent, even free games may be feeding the addictive sides of people and making them more prone to seek out gambling or micro-transaction heavy games.

While incremental games can be fun and even healthy in certain contexts, they can exacerbate video game addiction more than other genres. If you feel like playing incremental games is taking priority over other things in your life, or manipulating your sleep schedule, it may be prudent to seek help. See r/StopGaming for resources.

Since incremental games are often built on extrinsic motivations in the form of progression systems, it's hard to argue whether players continue to play because they are enjoying the gameplay, or if they are just conditioned to keep doing it because the game keeps rewarding them. Unfortunately, it can often feel like it's the latter, as there isn't typically anything compelling about the "gameplay" of clicking a button and waiting. There may be a significant overlap between those who enjoy incremental games and those who are most prone to addiction, and there are often posts on r/incremental_games about someone either struggling with or overcoming video game addiction.

Strategy ​

Incremental games could be considered a subset of strategy games), and inherit the appeals of strategy games. This includes the appeal of feeling like you've found a good solution to a puzzle, or that you're learning more about the game and are improving at making decisions within it.

Note that strategy games are not all the same difficulty, as well. Cookie Clicker is probably easier than Starcraft 2 (although late game may beg to differ). Plenty of incremental games can be used as evidence that "easier" strategies may have their separate appeal to harder strategy games - players like to feel smart and that they figured the game out and have optimized or mastered it, and the game being easier doesn't detract from that sense of accomplishment as much as it allows more and more users to be able to reach the point where they gain that sense.

Avoiding Staleness ​

Incremental games tend to have "paradigm shifts", where the gameplay changes in a meaningful way at various times throughout the progression of the game. These upset and change the gameplay loop, which helps keep them from stagnating. This constant "freshness" to the gameplay can keep players engaged for longer, compared to a game with a repetitive and static gameplay loop.

Good Game Design ​

Incremental games tend to show their game design "plainly", so it's more readily apparent if a game has good game design while playing, even if you're not looking for it. While different players have different preferences and might enjoy different types of games more than others, there are underlying good and bad game design principles that players will notice the effects of. To be clear, this isn't talking about stuff like big numbers being enjoyable, where I can comfortably agree to disagree with other players. They don't intrinsically make my experience better, but I'm aware of those for whom it does and I won't argue against their feelings. However, the game designer in me does feel like there are some extremely clear-cut examples of good and bad game design philosophies.

Let's start by giving an example of a mechanic I think can be easily and strongly argued is good game design. There are of course many examples, but a personal favorite of mine is how DOOM encourages aggressive gameplay by linking health drops to melee attacks. It has an intended experience it's trying to give the player - immersing themselves as DOOM guy, who would not hide behind cover when low on health - and this mechanic does a great job at encouraging and effectively teaching players to behave properly. This is in sharp contrast to shooters like Call of Duty, which have you regen health passively, encouraging players to hide behind cover and wait after getting hit. Note that I'm not arguing CoD is poorly designed, as the games have different intended experiences. I'm specifically praising DOOM for having a mechanic that does a good job at ensuring the player has that intended experience.

To contrast with an example I think is bad game design, let's talk about shields in souls-likes. This is a bit of a famous example, and I highly recommend this video essay which spends quite a good bit of time on this topic. Essentially, the argument boils down to players of earlier games in the souls games using shields too much - playing slowly, conservatively, and ultimately having less fun. Players wanted to feel safe, so they ended up playing in a way that ruined the experience for them. The developers solved this by removing shields, apart from an intentionally bad one effectively mocking the playstyle, and it did its job at getting players to play more aggressively, and often have more fun.

To bring the conversation back to incrementals, I'm incredibly opinionated on what makes a good incremental game, which I'll discuss in the game design section. Suffice it to say, incremental games rely more on good game design than other genres, due to not having much to distract from bad game design. This helps (although imperfectly - gamers are a bit too tolerant of bad game design!) well-designed games rise to the top within the genre.

Artistic Merit ​

The discussion of whether video games are art has resulted in a pretty universal "yes, they are", but with some games the argument may still crop up. The reason why Incremental games are sometimes questioned is due to their perceived lack of complexity. However, even setting aside the fact that if players are having fun then it's not time wasted, I think games can have artistic merit that supersedes the necessity of having (any / engaging / "deep") gameplay. Incremental games are no less legitimate of a game or the "art" label because of any lack perceived lack of depth. For what it's worth, most art can be consumed with more ease than any video game - any painting, movie, sculpture, etc.

A lot of incrementals have a narrative context that can similarly qualify them as art. Cookie Clicker is, as has been pointed out numerous times before, commenting on excess and increasing production beyond any reasonable limits - devolving into increasing production for its own sake. Indeed, a lot of incremental games are written to comment upon various concepts like capitalism or tropes in games, as discussed when defining Incrementals). However, I'd like to argue most incremental games are still art, even without any narrative context. "Art" as a concept is pretty nebulous already, but I personally like those who define it as an act of expression more than any physical result. The creator and the context within which they created the art, and any meaning they put into it, are all relevant and a part of the art itself. Most incremental games have artistic merit from things like why the creator made it, why they chose to make it an incremental game, and why they made any particular design decision. Hell, even if you play through an entire incremental game without a single thought or feeling, that very fact it elicited nothing can itself be artistic merit!

I'm not an art major, and I may be taking a somewhat extreme take on what is art and what has artistic merit, but I'd argue the overall point stands that games, and incremental games specifically, can have artistic merit, which appeals to many gamers.

This is something that has been discussed and analyzed by many people, and to some extent, I feel like everything that can be said on the topic already has. However, a lot of these analyses are from the perspective of those with not as much experience and involvement within the genre as I'd argue would be necessary for a fully contextualized answer. I'm interested in ludology and part of that includes interpreting games as art, and to that end what constitutes a game, let alone a "good game". Incremental games are oft criticized, unfairly in my biased opinion, of not even constituting games, such as was posited by this polygon article.

Numbers Going Up ​

This is a very common response to why people enjoy incremental games, although it's not one I find compels me personally, and I suspect it might be a stand-in for progression) or Guide to Incrementals/What is Content?. But reportedly, some people do just like seeing big numbers. I must reiterate I suspect the actual cause is seeing big numbers in context though - if you start at 1e1000 of a currency and get to 1e1001, that isn't going to feel as satisfying as going from 1e10 to 1e100, and in any case, I don't think a button that just adds a zero to your number will feel quite satisfying - I believe its the sense of having made progress, and comparing where you are to where you started and feeling like you've earned your way here that is enjoyable.

Progression

I think a strong sense of progression is seen as very enjoyable to many players of all sorts of genres - engine builder board games, RPGs, rogue_lites_, etc. Incremental games tend to have an extremely exaggerated sense of progression, which makes them very appealing.

Meta-progression is when games have some sort of progression that persists when other progress gets lost - for example, upgrades that persist between runs of a roguelite game. These are common mechanics in incremental games - in fact, its not uncommon to have multiple of these reset mechanics nested on top of each other, each with their own meta-progression. These are satisfying to players, although they can be a bit controversial. These mechanics can often be seen as an optional crutch, and in roguelite games, players often challenge themselves to win without any meta progression. Essentially these challenges argue that meta-progression de-emphasizes player skill by replacing it with time served. Incremental games, through their exaggerated progression, eschew that possibility though - they make it impossible to beat without the meta progression systems, as the meta-progression becomes an entire chapter of the gameplay. I'd argue this does not detract from the game, however, and is actually a part of what makes incremental games, and roguelikes, enjoyable to many players: meta-progression augments the increases in skill the player is naturally gaining as they play. In effect, it's not replacing the skill increase, but exaggerating it to make it feel more real to the player.

Effortlessness ​

Incremental games are so easy, a lot of them even have you progress while you're not playing! Part of the appeal is being able to feel like you're making progress while doing something actually productive - multitasking, in a way. In this sense, the game is more of a fidget toy - not something to think hard about and play actively, but something to click a few buttons every so often while you're paying attention to a lecture or studying or working. Of course, not all incremental games lend themselves to being played this way - it's specifically "idle" games that work like this. These are games that take an incredibly long amount of time to see all the content, stretching it as thin as possible, but they aren't expecting you to be sitting at your device playing it the entire time. They expect you to leave and come back later to make a bit of progress and repeat the cycle.

If you look at the higher-level play of most games, you'll see them perform difficult feats with ease and speed. They'll achieve a "flow state" that takes all their knowledge and experience of the game and uses it to play the game as instinctively as possible. It's incredible to watch things like Slay the Spire speed runs or competitive DDR-likes. I'd argue the goal of a lot of games with a competitive scene is to get so good that the game becomes effortless. In that sense, a game that allows you to reach that point earlier isn't any less legitimate, but rather lowers the barrier to entry by allowing more people to get "really good" at the game. And to be clear, (most) incremental games aren't trivially easy - they, and to an extent, every game will have some level of learning and improvement over time.

Addiction

A lot of these reasons for why incremental games appeal may have reminded you of why gambling appeals to people, particularly those prone to addiction. Indeed, incremental games are quite often criticized for their similarity to a skinner box. Some have gone as far as to say incremental games as a genre are commenting that all games are skinner boxes). The argument goes that some games are not fun, but rather condition players into continuing to play without actually getting anything from the experience. When tied to real-world money this is seen as predatory, and to a lesser extent, even free games may be feeding the addictive sides of people and making them more prone to seek out gambling or micro-transaction heavy games.

While incremental games can be fun and even healthy in certain contexts, they can exacerbate video game addiction more than other genres. If you feel like playing incremental games is taking priority over other things in your life, or manipulating your sleep schedule, it may be prudent to seek help. See r/StopGaming for resources.

Since incremental games are often built on extrinsic motivations in the form of progression systems, it's hard to argue whether players continue to play because they are enjoying the gameplay, or if they are just conditioned to keep doing it because the game keeps rewarding them. Unfortunately, it can often feel like it's the latter, as there isn't typically anything compelling about the "gameplay" of clicking a button and waiting. There may be a significant overlap between those who enjoy incremental games and those who are most prone to addiction, and there are often posts on r/incremental_games about someone either struggling with or overcoming video game addiction.

Strategy ​

Incremental games could be considered a subset of strategy games), and inherit the appeals of strategy games. This includes the appeal of feeling like you've found a good solution to a puzzle, or that you're learning more about the game and are improving at making decisions within it.

Note that strategy games are not all the same difficulty, as well. Cookie Clicker is probably easier than Starcraft 2 (although late game may beg to differ). Plenty of incremental games can be used as evidence that "easier" strategies may have their separate appeal to harder strategy games - players like to feel smart and that they figured the game out and have optimized or mastered it, and the game being easier doesn't detract from that sense of accomplishment as much as it allows more and more users to be able to reach the point where they gain that sense.

Avoiding Staleness ​

Incremental games tend to have "paradigm shifts", where the gameplay changes in a meaningful way at various times throughout the progression of the game. These upset and change the gameplay loop, which helps keep them from stagnating. This constant "freshness" to the gameplay can keep players engaged for longer, compared to a game with a repetitive and static gameplay loop.

Good Game Design ​

Incremental games tend to show their game design "plainly", so it's more readily apparent if a game has good game design while playing, even if you're not looking for it. While different players have different preferences and might enjoy different types of games more than others, there are underlying good and bad game design principles that players will notice the effects of. To be clear, this isn't talking about stuff like big numbers being enjoyable, where I can comfortably agree to disagree with other players. They don't intrinsically make my experience better, but I'm aware of those for whom it does and I won't argue against their feelings. However, the game designer in me does feel like there are some extremely clear-cut examples of good and bad game design philosophies.

Let's start by giving an example of a mechanic I think can be easily and strongly argued is good game design. There are of course many examples, but a personal favorite of mine is how DOOM encourages aggressive gameplay by linking health drops to melee attacks. It has an intended experience it's trying to give the player - immersing themselves as DOOM guy, who would not hide behind cover when low on health - and this mechanic does a great job at encouraging and effectively teaching players to behave properly. This is in sharp contrast to shooters like Call of Duty, which have you regen health passively, encouraging players to hide behind cover and wait after getting hit. Note that I'm not arguing CoD is poorly designed, as the games have different intended experiences. I'm specifically praising DOOM for having a mechanic that does a good job at ensuring the player has that intended experience.

To contrast with an example I think is bad game design, let's talk about shields in souls-likes. This is a bit of a famous example, and I highly recommend this video essay which spends quite a good bit of time on this topic. Essentially, the argument boils down to players of earlier games in the souls games using shields too much - playing slowly, conservatively, and ultimately having less fun. Players wanted to feel safe, so they ended up playing in a way that ruined the experience for them. The developers solved this by removing shields, apart from an intentionally bad one effectively mocking the playstyle, and it did its job at getting players to play more aggressively, and often have more fun.

To bring the conversation back to incrementals, I'm incredibly opinionated on what makes a good incremental game, which I'll discuss in the game design section. Suffice it to say, incremental games rely more on good game design than other genres, due to not having much to distract from bad game design. This helps (although imperfectly - gamers are a bit too tolerant of bad game design!) well-designed games rise to the top within the genre.

Video games are placed into genres for a variety of reasons. They can give a mental shorthand to set the player's expectations up, they can help a game market itself by its similarities to other, already popular games, and honestly, people just love categorization for its own sake. For this guide, it's important to define the genre so it is clear what games it's even talking about.

This poses a problem. Genres, being Social Constructs, suffer from the usual issues social constructs have of being vague and shifting over time. "Incremental", in particular, is a horribly vague way to define games. Most games have numbers going up in some form or another. We need a more specific definition - similar to how "strategy" can't just mean any game with any amount of strategy because that would be most games. What specifically differentiates incremental games from the rest?

"Incremental" implies it's a genre defined by a game mechanic, but all those game mechanics it could imply exist in many other games. Having a skill tree or upgrades doesn't make you incremental, and if a reset mechanic is all it takes then every roguelite would be an incremental as well. So clearly there's more to it than that - what makes an incremental an incremental?

I'd like to go over a couple of popular suggestions I've seen on defining the genre here. I have my personal preferences and will state them here, but I don't think there's a truly perfect answer.

BTW, if this article made you realize discourse around defining genres is actually a really interesting, even fascinating, topic, I recommend this video essay: Who Shot Guybrush Threepwood? | Genre and the Adventure Game.

Disclaimer: I mostly play incremental games on my computer, and my definitions will be heavily biased towards the games I'm familiar with.

Incrementals vs Idlers vs Clickers ​

Oftentimes people refer to this genre as idle games and/or clicker games. You'll even find a trend of oxymoronic game titles that contain both terms. "Incremental games" is the umbrella term both those terms fall under. However, I'd like to argue that not only is it better to just use the term "incremental games", but calling them "idle games" or "clicker games" is wrong. Almost universally, these terms are used interchangeably to refer to the same kind of game, where you start the game click spamming and eventually automate the process. Frankly, that kind of game deserves neither title, and the genre of incremental games has trended away from ever requiring click spamming, as it's a bad mechanic, anyways.

While these games do span a spectrum of how active it requires you to be, and sorting games by that metric can be useful for those looking for a particular experience, the borders of when an incremental game counts as an "idler" is too blurry for the term to be useful. "Incremental games" may not be a great descriptive term for the genre (hence this many thousands of words long page on defining what the genre even is), but it's strictly better than calling them "idler" or "clicker" games. This guide will always use the term "incremental games" unless quoting someone else, as it is the term you typically see on all modern games in the genre.

Incrementals as Parodies

Let's start with one of the most interesting definitions of incremental games. Incremental games appear to be distilled versions of games or genres, "revealing" the naked game design at the core of these games or genres not unlike how parodies comment upon their source material.

To understand what that means, think of how a casino uses skinner boxes to emotionally manipulate its customers to keep playing, but "dressing" up the skinner box with tons of stimuli to hide that ultimately the goal is to condition you into coming back compulsively. The idea that incremental games are parodies means taking the stance that at some level all games are similarly manipulating you, giving dopamine rewards in a way that manipulates you to keep playing while not necessarily giving you any value or fulfillment. Incremental games, then, are any games that plainly display the skinner box, and the manipulative core of the game, at the forefront of the experience.

While incremental games can be fun and even healthy in certain contexts, they can exacerbate video game addiction more than other genres. If you feel like playing incremental games is taking priority over other things in your life, or manipulating your sleep schedule, it may be prudent to seek help. See r/StopGaming for resources.

This "undressing" tends to go hand in hand with a reduced focus on aesthetics, often just printing the game state directly to the screen as text. This makes incremental games much easier to develop, particularly for those with programming skills but not art skills, but that's a tangent for why Incremental Games Guide to Incrementals/Appeal to Developers.

Before I continue, I'd like to make my stance clear that I love games and incremental games, and do not think they should be considered inherently bad or manipulative with the above logic. Skinner boxes are just a way of manipulating behavior via rewards. The games are still fun - that's the reward! I'd believe the real criticism here is that it is "empty fun", or "empty dopamine", that doesn't offer any additional value or sense of fulfillment. I don't think that's inherently bad in moderation, although it can become a problem if the game is manipulating you for profit-seeking, or if you play the game to the detriment of the other parts of your life.

Another interpretation of incremental games as parodies comes from several mainstream incremental games that are also parodies of capitalism, such as cookie clicker and adventure capitalist. It's a very common framework for incremental games to portray the ever-increasing numbers as an insatiable hunger for resources, like the ones observed within capitalism. Therefore, these games are used as evidence that the genre as a whole is about parody and commentary.

Popular videos on incremental games that portray the genre as parodies are Why Idle games make good satire, and how it was ruined. and Bad Game Design - Clicker Games. You may also be interested in this response to the latter video from a fan of incremental games: BadGood Game Design - Clicker Games.

I think that this definition ultimately ascribes a motive to the genre as a whole that only happens to apply to some of the more mainstream titles. There certainly are incremental games commenting on different things, including the genre itself as in the case of The Prestige Tree Classic, The Ascension Tree, or Omega Layers, but certainly not all. And of course, not all games that comment on something or parody something are incremental games! Additionally, a very large majority of incremental games are mobile games using these manipulative strategies to get players to spend as much money as possible - hell, Adventure Capitalist is ostensibly a critique on capitalism but features microtransactions and gameplay that manipulates you into buying them! These profit-seeking incremental games certainly belong within the genre but are hardly parodies when they too use manipulation to serve their interests. Also, from my own anecdotal experience, those who use this definition seem to do so from a fairly surface-level familiarity with the genre, and often in the context of criticizing the genre or the fans thereof.

Incrementals as NGU ​

Another broad definition often used is that incremental games are games where the focus of the game is "numbers going up". This definition proposes that other genres simply use increasing numbers as a means to an end, but incremental games uniquely only care about the numbers themselves going up. Put another way, it implies there should be no narrative justification for the numbers going up other than "why shouldn't they be going up?"

While this definition is common because it feels easy to understand, it is difficult to formally define. Often phrases are used to describe games using this framework, such as having an "exaggerated sense of progression" or "big" numbers. These terms are vague and don't demonstrate an actual threshold between non-incrementals and incrementals. Most games have a sense of progression, so when is it "exaggerated"? How big are "big" numbers? Most notably, RPGs that are typically not considered incrementals will often pass this definition.

Additionally, a lot of incrementals tend to have some theme guiding the gameplay, or at least the names of mechanics. This makes the line blurred between when numbers are going up for their own sake versus for a contextual reason. I believe this point is best illustrated that, while most RPGs are not considered incremental games, there is a sub-genre of "incremental RPGs" that typically relates to RPGs that perform combat automatically. This definition of incremental games does not support RPGs and "incremental RPGs" being on distinct sides of the line if the only difference between them is manual vs automatic combat.

Incrementals as Strategies

This is a rarer interpretation, but there are similarities between incremental games and strategy games, implying incrementals might just be a sub-genre of strategy games. By this approach, incremental games would be defined by their relation to strategy games, and how they involve player strategy. Incremental games are often large optimization problems - above all else, the actual gameplay the player is performing is deciding what to do next. The consequences of wrong decisions are typically more lenient in incremental games - such as just not making optimal progress - but they certainly get complex.

So if we accept the premise that incrementals could fall under strategy, we still need to define what makes a strategy game an incremental versus some other strategy sub-genre. This is a bit tricky due to one particular sub-genre of strategy games: Factory Builders.

Factory builders, such as Factorio or Satisfactory, are games about gaining ever increasing resources, optimizing production, and expanding more and more. That... sounds pretty similar, doesn't it? In fact, there's been some debate on whether factory builders would fall under the "incremental" umbrella. I think it's safe to say the two are certainly related, and probably have quite a bit of overlap in playerbase.

Roguelites as Incrementals? ​

Earlier on, I mentioned reset mechanics shouldn't be used in the definition because that could make all roguelites incrementals... But what if it does? A lot of incrementals can be described as games with a strong sense of progression, often with layers of meta-progression. Roguelites fit that bill to a T. What would make roguelites not incremental? I honestly don't think there's a good explanation here, but many fans of incremental games will state they do believe the two genres to be unrelated, even if there's a significant overlap between their player bases due to having similar appealing traits.

At this point, it'd be appropriate to consider what part of the definition of roguelites precludes them from also being incrementals, but that reveals a new problem: What are roguelites? They're usually defined as rogue_likes with meta-progression, but that just pushes the problem back a step: Incrementals aren't the only genre to have difficulties defining themselves, it seems! Roguelikes are another genre where the community argues over the formal definition of their genre, although that means we can borrow from their process of coming to a consensus, and maybe come across a viable definition for incremental games.

The Berlin Interpretation ​

By far the most popular way of defining roguelikes is the "Berlin Interpretation", which acknowledged the diversity of games within the genre and argued the definition should not be based on any ideals about what the genre ought to be, but rather defined by "its canon". They argued there are a handful of games that can be used to define the canon for roguelikes, and from those games, a list of factors can be derived to determine a game's "roguelikeness". The more factors a game has, the more of a roguelike it is. This strategy is very lenient, allowing a game to not present any specific factor so long as it shows enough, and accounts for the blurriness of any genre definition by not explicitly stating how many factors a game must have to qualify as a definite roguelike.

I believe this strategy for defining genres can be applied to other genres as well. A handful of games can be argued to be the incremental games canon, and a list of factors derived from them can be used to judge any game based on its "incrementalness". I'll propose such a canon and list of factors here, but by no means should it be considered the end-all-be-all.

Note: The "Temple of the roguelike", an authority within the genre, has since replaced the Berlin Interpretation with a new set of factors here: https://blog.roguetemple.com/what-is-a-traditional-roguelike/

A Modern Incremental Games Canon ​

Alright, time to get controversial. Up til now, I've been trying my best to stay objective and analytical, but now it's time to start making some opinionated decisions. I've created a list of games I think could be justified in making up a modern incremental games canon.

Before I mention the list, let's establish how I got to this list. First off, I'm really focusing on building a definition of the genre today, so I prefer modern games over traditional ones. A canon of culturally or historically significant titles to the genre would give a different list. Keep in mind the original Berlin interpretation (and the temple's update to it) were trying to define "traditional roguelikes", which is not my objective here. Building a canon that aims to trace the history of the genre is still valid and useful.

I'm also trying to ensure I pick a large breadth of incremental games, so I'm going to approach the list as a list of archetypes, with a single game to represent it but with other titles mentioned as other examples. This approach places each archetype as equally important, even if one only has a couple entries. Besides the impracticality of a canon that just includes every game, it'd be very biased towards games with large modding communities like Cookie Clicker or The Prestige Tree.

With all that behind us, here is a list of games I think could justifiably make up a Modern Incremental Games Canon:

  • Dodecadragons

    This game represents incremental games with many prestige layers that often have rapid resets and automate lower layers as more get unlocked. Other examples could also include The Prestige Tree, Really Grass Cutting Incremental Classic, Distance Incremental, or the massive modding community TPT has. A lot of the games I've personally worked on fall in this group, like Advent Incremental.

  • Evolve Idle

    This game represents incremental games with few prestige layers, very slow resets, and a focus on resource management. Typically involve some sort of worker allocation. Other examples would be Kitten's Game, Shark Game, or Magic Research.

  • (the) Gnorp Apologue

    This game represents incremental games with a central mechanic that gets added to by various other mechanics. All the mechanics remain relevant throughout the game, with different ones contributing most over time. Other examples include Nodebuster and To the Core. A lot of traditional games also fall in this archetype by having characters or buildings you level up, that each contribute additively to gaining the primary resources. These include Cookie Clicker, Clicker Heroes, and Realm Grinder. In a way, that makes the modern titles mentioned in this archetype the spiritual successors of those traditional games, and exemplifies how the genre has changed.

  • Idle Momentum

    This game represents incremental games that include polynomial growth as a central mechanic that is then built upon. Other examples include Antimatter Dimensions, Swarm Simulator, and Derivative Clicker.

  • Melvor Idle

    This game represents incremental games that are essentially a genre blend between incremental games and RPGs. Compared to other types of RPGs, these games have a focus on progressing while idle. Other examples would be IdleOn and a very large amount of mobile RPGs.

  • Stuck in Time

    This game represents incremental games that include a reset mechanic where there are pre-defined decisions being made during the course of the run. There's typically a concept of a playable character, whose actions are being "queued up" during a run, and these runs become longer or otherwise more productive as the game progresses. There are a lot of examples of this genre, including Cavernous II, Increlution, Progress Knight, Idle Loops, and Groundhog Life.

  • Universal Paperclips

    This game represents incremental games that involve several phases of completely distinct gameplay that fully replace the previous, called "paradigm shifts". Prestige layers are also often paradigm shifts, but this game represents paradigm shifts that are not reset mechanics but still transform the gameplay. Other examples would be Crank or A Dark Room. Spore would be an example that's not typically considered an incremental.

  • Unnamed Space Idle

    This game represents incremental games that focus on unlocking many different independent progression systems that boost each other, and all remain relevant throughout the course of the game. Other examples include NGU Idle, Anti-Idle, Idle Skilling, and Idle Wizard.

It may look like I've just shifted the problem down a level - rather than defining the genre, I'm now defining a bunch of sub-genres. However, the methods used here for defining the canon, and my attempt at ensuring a breadth of games by determining distinct archetypes, is just my approach. This list is additionally biased towards games I'm more familiar with, which will differ person to person. The only hard and fast rule is that every game on the list should be nearly universally accepted as an incremental game. So long as you do that, the factors should be relatively similar, although ofc individuals will still likely have small differences, as is the nature of socially constructed definitions.

Naturally this canon is a perpetual work-in-progress. I'm currently a bit uncertain about the distinctions between the evolve idle, melvor idle, and unnamed space idle archetypes. I could see those being rewritten as two or even a single archetype.

Unfolding ​

There are several related concepts mentioned in the canon - unfolding, prestige layers, and paradigm shifts. Unfolding is the umbrella term which includes the other two, and is clearly the highest possible value factor for an incremental. It's so common that for a while people referred to incrementals that exhibit this trait as "unfolding" games, to the point of trying to replace the term incremental due to their popularity.

There are many reasons for the appeal of unfolding mechanics. Oftentimes each mechanic builds on top of the existing mechanics, increasing the complexity of the game in steps so the player can follow along. In fact, sometimes the older mechanics will be entirely phased out (e.g. by automating them), so the complexity of the game remains roughly equal throughout the game. In any case, adding new mechanics regularly provides a sense of mystery, with the player anticipating what will happen next. They shake up the gameplay before it gets too stale - allowing the game to entertain for longer before the sense of Guide to Incrementals/What is Content? dissipates. Of the canon games selected above, I would argue every single one contains unfolding to some degree.

I should take a moment to say that while I'm hyping up this specific factor, we cannot just reduce the genre definition to "does it introduce new mechanics over time". Many games have paradigm shifts that are not incremental, so it's just an indicator of incrementalness. Every single canon game may show that it's common amongst incremental games, but could just as easily indicate that they're common in games in general.

High-Value Factors ​

I won't take as long to discuss the high and low-value factors, as you've already seen most of them brought up earlier on this page. As a reminder, a game does NOT need all of these to be an incremental game, but these are factors that each indicate a strong possibility the game is an incremental, so having several of these means they probably are. These factors apply to most of the canon incremental games.

"Pure UI" Display. Incrementals typically have a data-driven interface of the game state - there isn't a visual representation of the entities within the game. The interface resembles what might be a control panel in another genre, with a focus on numbers, buttons, and readouts rather than animated sprites or scenes. Even when there are visual elements, like item icons or simple enemy images, the player's main interaction is with non-diegetic, UI-focused components rather than immersive game visuals.

Reduced Consequences. Incrementals tend to have reduced repurcussions for misplaying. They very rarely have fail states, where often the largest consequence is simply not progressing - never losing progress.

Optimization Problems. The predominant gameplay of incrementals is typically solving optimization problems, from deciding which purchase to save up for to reasoning and deciding between different mutually exclusive options the game presents.

Resource Management. Incrementals tend to have a lot of resources within the game to keep track of.

Low-Value Factors ​

These are low-value factors, meaning they aren't as strongly correlated with incremental games. Incremental games may have none of these, and non-incrementals may have several of these - if a game only has low-value factors, they're probably not an incremental.

Fast Numeric Growth. Numbers in incremental games tend to grow faster than in other genres. There are more instances of superlinear growth. The larger the numbers get, the stronger of a signal this factor is.

Automation. As an incremental game progresses, the player often no longer has to deal with earlier mechanics, by having them either happen automatically or otherwise be replaced with an alternative that requires less player interaction.

Goal-Oriented. Incrementals are often heavily reliant on extrinsic motivation to guide the player. Typically this is through some sort of in-game goal to work towards, such as a certain amount of a resource being required to unlock or purchase something new.

Waiting is a Mechanic. In incremental games, the player may come across times where there is no action they can take, and the game will progress automatically instead. The player must wait for some amount of this automatic progress to occur before they can resume interaction with the game.

Are Roguelites Incrementals? ​

Having made our variation of the Berlin Interpretation for incremental games, we can compare it to the Berlin Interpretation to determine if there's enough overlap that any game that "passes" the Berlin Interpretation would also pass the incremental variant. That is to say, whether any roguelite would also be considered an incremental game.

The meta-progression of an incremental game could arguably be considered a paradigm shift, and certainly adds some resource management. Goal-oriented would probably also apply. I think anything other than those would be a stretch, and in my opinion that just isn't enough to qualify. To be totally honest, I was never expecting to conclude otherwise though 😉

Sub-Genres ​

There are some trends in incremental games that go beyond just being a commonly used mechanic, such that they deeply affect the rest of the game design. To a degree each of the games in the canon could arguably be part of distinct sub-genres, but I think these 4 deserve specific mentions:

Loops games are a sub-genre defined by having a core mechanic related to a loop, where the player is deciding the actions taken per loop. Notable examples include Idle Loops, Stuck in Time, Cavernous II, and Increlution. You may also argue Groundhog Life and Progress Knight fall into this sub-genre.

ITRTG-like games are a sub-genre defined by having a core mechanic based on clearing increasingly difficult battles and often tend to have a lot of different mechanics to become progressively stronger. Notable examples include Idling to Rule the Gods, NGU Idle, and Wizard and Minion Idle.

Polynomial Growth games are a sub-genre defined by having a core mechanic related to a higher degree polynomial. Notable examples include the base layer of Antimatter Dimensions and Swarm Simulator.

Upgrades Games is a category popular on flash games websites that featured games focused on buying upgrades that would allow you to attain more currency in some sort of minigame that would earn you more money to buy more upgrades, which I'd argue now belong under the fold of incremental games. Notable examples include the Learn to Fly series and Upgrade Complete.

Cultivation RPGs are a genre of games, books, and anime popular in China that center around being in a fantasy world with characters getting stronger over time. While few of them get translated into English, a fan of incremental games may find the available games interesting.

Video games are placed into genres for a variety of reasons. They can give a mental shorthand to set the player's expectations up, they can help a game market itself by its similarities to other, already popular games, and honestly, people just love categorization for its own sake. For this guide, it's important to define the genre so it is clear what games it's even talking about.

This poses a problem. Genres, being Social Constructs, suffer from the usual issues social constructs have of being vague and shifting over time. "Incremental", in particular, is a horribly vague way to define games. Most games have numbers going up in some form or another. We need a more specific definition - similar to how "strategy" can't just mean any game with any amount of strategy because that would be most games. What specifically differentiates incremental games from the rest?

"Incremental" implies it's a genre defined by a game mechanic, but all those game mechanics it could imply exist in many other games. Having a skill tree or upgrades doesn't make you incremental, and if a reset mechanic is all it takes then every roguelite would be an incremental as well. So clearly there's more to it than that - what makes an incremental an incremental?

I'd like to go over a couple of popular suggestions I've seen on defining the genre here. I have my personal preferences and will state them here, but I don't think there's a truly perfect answer.

BTW, if this article made you realize discourse around defining genres is actually a really interesting, even fascinating, topic, I recommend this video essay: Who Shot Guybrush Threepwood? | Genre and the Adventure Game.

Disclaimer: I mostly play incremental games on my computer, and my definitions will be heavily biased towards the games I'm familiar with.

Incrementals vs Idlers vs Clickers ​

Oftentimes people refer to this genre as idle games and/or clicker games. You'll even find a trend of oxymoronic game titles that contain both terms. "Incremental games" is the umbrella term both those terms fall under. However, I'd like to argue that not only is it better to just use the term "incremental games", but calling them "idle games" or "clicker games" is wrong. Almost universally, these terms are used interchangeably to refer to the same kind of game, where you start the game click spamming and eventually automate the process. Frankly, that kind of game deserves neither title, and the genre of incremental games has trended away from ever requiring click spamming, as it's a bad mechanic, anyways.

While these games do span a spectrum of how active it requires you to be, and sorting games by that metric can be useful for those looking for a particular experience, the borders of when an incremental game counts as an "idler" is too blurry for the term to be useful. "Incremental games" may not be a great descriptive term for the genre (hence this many thousands of words long page on defining what the genre even is), but it's strictly better than calling them "idler" or "clicker" games. This guide will always use the term "incremental games" unless quoting someone else, as it is the term you typically see on all modern games in the genre.

Incrementals as Parodies

Let's start with one of the most interesting definitions of incremental games. Incremental games appear to be distilled versions of games or genres, "revealing" the naked game design at the core of these games or genres not unlike how parodies comment upon their source material.

To understand what that means, think of how a casino uses skinner boxes to emotionally manipulate its customers to keep playing, but "dressing" up the skinner box with tons of stimuli to hide that ultimately the goal is to condition you into coming back compulsively. The idea that incremental games are parodies means taking the stance that at some level all games are similarly manipulating you, giving dopamine rewards in a way that manipulates you to keep playing while not necessarily giving you any value or fulfillment. Incremental games, then, are any games that plainly display the skinner box, and the manipulative core of the game, at the forefront of the experience.

While incremental games can be fun and even healthy in certain contexts, they can exacerbate video game addiction more than other genres. If you feel like playing incremental games is taking priority over other things in your life, or manipulating your sleep schedule, it may be prudent to seek help. See r/StopGaming for resources.

This "undressing" tends to go hand in hand with a reduced focus on aesthetics, often just printing the game state directly to the screen as text. This makes incremental games much easier to develop, particularly for those with programming skills but not art skills, but that's a tangent for why Incremental Games Guide to Incrementals/Appeal to Developers.

Before I continue, I'd like to make my stance clear that I love games and incremental games, and do not think they should be considered inherently bad or manipulative with the above logic. Skinner boxes are just a way of manipulating behavior via rewards. The games are still fun - that's the reward! I'd believe the real criticism here is that it is "empty fun", or "empty dopamine", that doesn't offer any additional value or sense of fulfillment. I don't think that's inherently bad in moderation, although it can become a problem if the game is manipulating you for profit-seeking, or if you play the game to the detriment of the other parts of your life.

Another interpretation of incremental games as parodies comes from several mainstream incremental games that are also parodies of capitalism, such as cookie clicker and adventure capitalist. It's a very common framework for incremental games to portray the ever-increasing numbers as an insatiable hunger for resources, like the ones observed within capitalism. Therefore, these games are used as evidence that the genre as a whole is about parody and commentary.

Popular videos on incremental games that portray the genre as parodies are Why Idle games make good satire, and how it was ruined. and Bad Game Design - Clicker Games. You may also be interested in this response to the latter video from a fan of incremental games: BadGood Game Design - Clicker Games.

I think that this definition ultimately ascribes a motive to the genre as a whole that only happens to apply to some of the more mainstream titles. There certainly are incremental games commenting on different things, including the genre itself as in the case of The Prestige Tree Classic, The Ascension Tree, or Omega Layers, but certainly not all. And of course, not all games that comment on something or parody something are incremental games! Additionally, a very large majority of incremental games are mobile games using these manipulative strategies to get players to spend as much money as possible - hell, Adventure Capitalist is ostensibly a critique on capitalism but features microtransactions and gameplay that manipulates you into buying them! These profit-seeking incremental games certainly belong within the genre but are hardly parodies when they too use manipulation to serve their interests. Also, from my own anecdotal experience, those who use this definition seem to do so from a fairly surface-level familiarity with the genre, and often in the context of criticizing the genre or the fans thereof.

Incrementals as NGU ​

Another broad definition often used is that incremental games are games where the focus of the game is "numbers going up". This definition proposes that other genres simply use increasing numbers as a means to an end, but incremental games uniquely only care about the numbers themselves going up. Put another way, it implies there should be no narrative justification for the numbers going up other than "why shouldn't they be going up?"

While this definition is common because it feels easy to understand, it is difficult to formally define. Often phrases are used to describe games using this framework, such as having an "exaggerated sense of progression" or "big" numbers. These terms are vague and don't demonstrate an actual threshold between non-incrementals and incrementals. Most games have a sense of progression, so when is it "exaggerated"? How big are "big" numbers? Most notably, RPGs that are typically not considered incrementals will often pass this definition.

Additionally, a lot of incrementals tend to have some theme guiding the gameplay, or at least the names of mechanics. This makes the line blurred between when numbers are going up for their own sake versus for a contextual reason. I believe this point is best illustrated that, while most RPGs are not considered incremental games, there is a sub-genre of "incremental RPGs" that typically relates to RPGs that perform combat automatically. This definition of incremental games does not support RPGs and "incremental RPGs" being on distinct sides of the line if the only difference between them is manual vs automatic combat.

Incrementals as Strategies

This is a rarer interpretation, but there are similarities between incremental games and strategy games, implying incrementals might just be a sub-genre of strategy games. By this approach, incremental games would be defined by their relation to strategy games, and how they involve player strategy. Incremental games are often large optimization problems - above all else, the actual gameplay the player is performing is deciding what to do next. The consequences of wrong decisions are typically more lenient in incremental games - such as just not making optimal progress - but they certainly get complex.

So if we accept the premise that incrementals could fall under strategy, we still need to define what makes a strategy game an incremental versus some other strategy sub-genre. This is a bit tricky due to one particular sub-genre of strategy games: Factory Builders.

Factory builders, such as Factorio or Satisfactory, are games about gaining ever increasing resources, optimizing production, and expanding more and more. That... sounds pretty similar, doesn't it? In fact, there's been some debate on whether factory builders would fall under the "incremental" umbrella. I think it's safe to say the two are certainly related, and probably have quite a bit of overlap in playerbase.

Roguelites as Incrementals? ​

Earlier on, I mentioned reset mechanics shouldn't be used in the definition because that could make all roguelites incrementals... But what if it does? A lot of incrementals can be described as games with a strong sense of progression, often with layers of meta-progression. Roguelites fit that bill to a T. What would make roguelites not incremental? I honestly don't think there's a good explanation here, but many fans of incremental games will state they do believe the two genres to be unrelated, even if there's a significant overlap between their player bases due to having similar appealing traits.

At this point, it'd be appropriate to consider what part of the definition of roguelites precludes them from also being incrementals, but that reveals a new problem: What are roguelites? They're usually defined as rogue_likes with meta-progression, but that just pushes the problem back a step: Incrementals aren't the only genre to have difficulties defining themselves, it seems! Roguelikes are another genre where the community argues over the formal definition of their genre, although that means we can borrow from their process of coming to a consensus, and maybe come across a viable definition for incremental games.

The Berlin Interpretation ​

By far the most popular way of defining roguelikes is the "Berlin Interpretation", which acknowledged the diversity of games within the genre and argued the definition should not be based on any ideals about what the genre ought to be, but rather defined by "its canon". They argued there are a handful of games that can be used to define the canon for roguelikes, and from those games, a list of factors can be derived to determine a game's "roguelikeness". The more factors a game has, the more of a roguelike it is. This strategy is very lenient, allowing a game to not present any specific factor so long as it shows enough, and accounts for the blurriness of any genre definition by not explicitly stating how many factors a game must have to qualify as a definite roguelike.

I believe this strategy for defining genres can be applied to other genres as well. A handful of games can be argued to be the incremental games canon, and a list of factors derived from them can be used to judge any game based on its "incrementalness". I'll propose such a canon and list of factors here, but by no means should it be considered the end-all-be-all.

Note: The "Temple of the roguelike", an authority within the genre, has since replaced the Berlin Interpretation with a new set of factors here: https://blog.roguetemple.com/what-is-a-traditional-roguelike/

A Modern Incremental Games Canon ​

Alright, time to get controversial. Up til now, I've been trying my best to stay objective and analytical, but now it's time to start making some opinionated decisions. I've created a list of games I think could be justified in making up a modern incremental games canon.

Before I mention the list, let's establish how I got to this list. First off, I'm really focusing on building a definition of the genre today, so I prefer modern games over traditional ones. A canon of culturally or historically significant titles to the genre would give a different list.

I'm also trying to ensure I pick a large breadth of incremental games, so I'm going to approach the list as a list of archetypes, with a single game to represent it but with other titles mentioned as other examples.

Besides the impracticality of a canon that just includes every game, it'd be very biased towards games with large modding communities like Cookie Clicker or The Prestige Tree.

Notable examples include Idle Loops, Stuck in Time, Cavernous II, and Increlution. You may also argue Groundhog Life and Progress Knight fall into this sub-genre.

ITRTG-like games are a sub-genre defined by having a core mechanic based on clearing increasingly difficult battles and often tend to have a lot of different mechanics to become progressively stronger. Notable examples include Idling to Rule the Gods, NGU Idle, and Wizard and Minion Idle.

Polynomial Growth games are a sub-genre defined by having a core mechanic related to a higher degree polynomial. Notable examples include the base layer of Antimatter Dimensions and Swarm Simulator.

Upgrades Games is a category popular on flash games websites that featured games focused on buying upgrades that would allow you to attain more currency in some sort of minigame that would earn you more money to buy more upgrades, which I'd argue now belong under the fold of incremental games. Notable examples include the Learn to Fly series and Upgrade Complete.

Cultivation RPGs are a genre of games, books, and anime popular in China that center around being in a fantasy world with characters getting stronger over time. While few of them get translated into English, a fan of incremental games may find the available games interesting.

This is a comprehensive guide to Incremental Games, a genre of video games. It will explore defining the genre, why it's appealing, and how to design and build your own incremental game. Along the way will be interactive examples, snippets from other creators, and relevant material to contextualize everything.

Note: This is an incomplete document. I want to keep adding opinions and opposing views from other incremental games developers, and add interactive examples to illustrate various points regarding game design and balancing. Consider this a living document - and see the changelog at the end.

Why am I making this? ​

That's a good question! What authority do I have to be making this guide? I haven't made the best incremental games, nor the most incremental games, certainly not the most popular ones either. But I do have some formal education in game development, know a lot of incremental game devs (as well as other game devs), and have a passionate interest in ludology, classifying genres, etc. I've also made a couple of incremental games) myself.

Developing games is fun and exciting and teaches a lot of wonderful skills - I enthusiastically encourage anyone with an interest in game development to try it out - and incremental games are a wonderful way to get started. However, there are many challenges young and inexperienced developers have to face, and I think the hardest one - harder than coding, debugging, balancing, etc. - is handling criticism. When you put your heart and soul into a game it is natural to feel very vulnerable. While I think there's a lot communities can do to ensure they're welcoming, positive and constructive with their criticisms, inevitably you will eventually read some, and potentially a lot, of comments that can deeply affect you. No one is immune to this, from young incremental game developers to the largest content creators you can think of. That's why it's important to be able to process and navigate criticism, because ultimately collecting feedback is essential to the journey to becoming a better developer. On this page, we'll explore how to embrace criticism, grow from it, and continue to post your games publicly with confidence.

Reading Feedback ​

Game development is a skill that takes time and practice to get truly great at. Criticism and other constructive feedback are vital to continually improving. It's useful to look at the criticism as solely a tool for improving this game and future games - that is to say, it should never be used against you as a person. Insults towards the developer(s) themselves are never okay and should not be allowed within whatever community you're sharing your works in. If you do come across a comment you interpret as an attack upon your person, you should report it. For other negative comments, try not to internalize them; instead, focus on improving the game. By distancing your own identity from your work emotionally, you can better analyze the game and use the feedback to your advantage.

Not all feedback is made equal, and you don't need to feel compelled to read and obey every piece of feedback you receive. Learn to distinguish between constructive feedback and unhelpful comments. Constructive feedback typically offers specific suggestions for improvement, while unhelpful comments are often vague or hurtful. Prioritize the former and disregard the latter. That said, most feedback you get will not be from game developers, so take specific suggestions with a grain of salt. Determine the actual problem they're experiencing, and design what you believe the best solution to that problem would be, regardless if that's the specific solution the player asked for. And keep in mind, due to different player preferences you'll never satisfy everyone, and you don't need to. Ultimately if even just you find the game fun, then that's a success.

Seeking Feedback ​

When deciding where to share your game, consider the type of players you anticipate getting, and the kind of feedback you can anticipate receiving. Different communities will have different levels of support for learning developers, and certain communities may prefer certain types of games or mechanics. It's important to get a diverse set of feedback focused on players you think will enjoy the specific game you're making.

Collecting feedback from other game developers is incredibly helpful. They've trained themselves to recognize good and bad game design and how to articulate the differences, and from my experience are much more likely to leave positive and constructive comments since they've been in your shoes before! They understand the struggles and can offer guidance and emotional support.

Responding to Feedback ​

Negative feedback can naturally feel like an attack, and it's okay to get angry. However, lashing back is never the appropriate response. It's best to cool off IRL, and keep in mind all the positive comments you've received. There's a concept in Psychology called negative bias that explains how negative feedback tends to stick with us much more prominently than positive feedback, so it's useful to regularly remind yourself of all the positive feedback you've received. Celebrate your successes, no matter how small they may seem - getting a game to a state you can publicly share it with people is an accomplishment in and of itself!

Remember your passion and your initial reasons for getting into game development. The journey will have its ups and downs, but staying true to your vision and passion will keep you motivated.

If you've been in the incremental games community for any amount of time, you'll quickly find the number one thing players want is content. They want as much of it as possible! The most popular incremental games have tons of content, so they just keep stretching on and on and on, introducing mechanic after mechanic, and players love it. In fact, players seem to value the amount of content over the quality of any specific content. However, there's a bit of a lack of understanding concerning what content is, and I'd like to explore what counts as content, and how we measure it. As a baseline definition, I think "content" can just be described as the parts of the game that engage the player, but to truly understand it we need to contextualize what that means and how it affects the gameplay experience.

To clarify the purpose of this page, my goal is not to get (too) nitpicky or to attack games with "low content". There's nothing wrong with short / low-content games - I'm quite a big fan of those games myself! This is mostly targeted toward those who ask for content and settle for "long" games, and those who want to provide content but want to make sure they're not just artificially inflating the game. Ultimately, I suppose the goal is to just reduce the amount of artificially inflated content for the sake of having a "longer" game.

Interaction ​

I think it should be a fairly non-controversial opinion that time spent solely waiting should not count towards content. That is not including the time reading various effects or making decisions in your head, but rather time spent waiting for a condition to be met so you can re-engage with the game.

That is not to say games should necessarily try to minimize this time. Plenty of games lead towards more infrequent interaction and still get popular. In fact, these games appeal to many gamers who want to have something to check up on in between bursts of working on some other activity. These games seem to have fallen slightly out of fashion amongst modern incremental games, but they're still fully valid. The point I'm trying to make here is just that this time is not content. As an extreme example, a game with no interactions and just a counter that goes up every second could safely be said to have 0 content beyond the time it takes to understand what's going on. If it has a list of "goals" to hit, then the time understanding those goals and a short time after achieving each one could be considered content, but not the idle times in between.

Let's take a look at the opposite end of the spectrum - interaction that is so frequent as to become mindless. This is any mechanic where you need to spam-click something to progress. This may be a more controversial take, but I do not believe this constitutes content either. It does not engage the player, because each consecutive click blends together and they do not individually change the gameplay experience. That is to say, a single click and 100 clicks are not meaningfully different in terms of engaging the player. I'd go as far as to say clicking 100 times would be actively worse, as it's artificially delaying the next piece of actual content, alongside the issues of accessibility and potentially causing RSI.

Repeatable Purchases ​

Imagine an entity in a game that you can purchase multiple times, each time it performs the same thing but for a higher cost. These are incredibly common, from the buildings in cookie clicker to the units in swarm sim to the IP and EP multipliers in antimatter dimensions. However, how much content is each specific purchase? Is it content beyond the first purchase? Does it have diminishing returns? What if you are oscillating between two different repeatable purchases? How much content is lost when you automate) away a repeatable purchase?

I don't want to take too harsh a stance against repeatable purchases. They're useful tools and can be used in a myriad of interesting ways. I feel they do become "stale" or less meaningful content over time, and this happens exponentially quickly the more frequently it can be purchased. A classic example that I believe goes too far is the IP/EP multipliers in Antimatter Dimensions. I would go as far as to say they are a chore and do not provide any meaningful content after you've bought them a couple of times. It's a method for inflating numbers (effectively making every OOM a 5x step instead of 10x), that punishes the player progression-wise whenever they forget to max it again, and eventually gets automated away as a reward to the player for making enough progress.

Just to voice the other side of this argument, Acamaeda defended the IP multiplier as giving the player a "good" upgrade every OOM. I can understand that to a point and need to clarify I'm mainly criticizing IP/EP multipliers after they've been introduced for a while. In fact, I would defend the multipliers for a short while after they're introduced using the same logic I would use to defend normal dimensions as repeatable purchases, at least pre-infinity. There's "content" to be had in looking at what dimensions will become affordable next, and then choosing which to buy amongst those. The IP/EP multipliers, early into infinity or eternity respectively, provide another option that gets put into that mental queue of things to buy with each OOM reached - although the optimal order is often quite trivial and not particularly engaging.

The IP/EP multipliers are not the only repeatable purchase in antimatter dimensions I take offense to. The time dimensions are also a series of repeatable purchases, that are all so similar and static that it doesn't take long before you never need to put any thought into buying them, how much you're buying at once, or the order you buy them in - you just press max all and move on. The entire tab could've been just the max all button and it would not have made a difference beyond the start of the eternity layer. The normal dimensions technically have this problem as well, but since you're constantly getting antimatter the order feels like it has a larger impact and it's more meaningful content, right up until they're automated away. Infinity dimensions are a compromise between the two, so I'm highlighting time dimensions here as the most egregious.

Following Instructions ​

We're getting more and more controversial as we go along! Let's talk about how linear content is not content now (in some circumstances). A trend in incremental games is adding difficulty by adding a web of effects that abstract the true change you can expect from any specific purchase or decision you make. If a game is both linear and sufficiently abstracts the effect of player decisions, then the player will no longer be engaging with the content - they'll simply be clicking on things as they become available. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, as plenty of players don't mind this style of gameplay, but I'd argue once you reach a point where players don't bother reading the effects, those interactions are no longer truly content. Note that unlike the previous qualifiers mentioned, this qualifier is based on the player, and therefore subjective. In effect, it's a spectrum where the more complicated the web of effects becomes, the more likely it is to disengage the player.

This over-complicatedness leading to disengaging the player can also happen from non-linear gameplay. If the web of effects becomes sufficiently complicated and finding the optimal progression route too time-consuming to discover, players will seek out guides from other players who've completed the game. The second they do this, the game effectively becomes linearly following the instructions of the guide and all the above criticisms apply. Similarly to as before, though, this is a spectrum and not everyone will seek out a guide at the same level of difficulty.

Automation

Automation is a staple of the genre, but it has certain implications for the design of the game. Why, when new content is introduced, must the older content be automated away - why is it a chore and it feels rewarding to not have to do it again? Why does the new mechanic have such appeal if we know it too will just be automated away later on, and we'll be happy when that happens? It honestly begs the question of why this framework of introducing content and automating the old content is even enjoyable - and nearly nonexistent in other genres. You're not going to reach a point in a platformer game where they just automate the jumping part - that's the core mechanic! Instead, platformers either add new mechanics that build on the core mechanic or at least re-contextualize the core mechanic. However, in incremental games new content very frequently means replacing older content, as opposed to augmenting it.

Admittedly, the above paragraph ignores the obvious answer that separates incremental games in this regard. These mechanics become chores as their frequency increases. The frequency increases to give a sense of progression, and automation is seen as a reward because it now manages what was becoming unmanageable. The new content then comes in and continues the loop to give a stronger sense of progression. That's all good and a fine justification for automating content instead of building upon the base mechanic. It's also much easier to design, as each layer essentially lets you start over instead of needing to think of ideas that conform to the original core mechanic.

So, what's the problem? Even if this trend is justified and easy to implement, there are some other effects it has on the game design. First off, and this is probably a neutral point, incremental games with this cycle of replacing old mechanics with new ones trend towards more and more abstract and further away from any narrative throughline as they add layers. There are only so many justifications for resetting progress, so if a game wants to have several of these layers they're inevitably going to become generic or increasingly loosely associated with the original content. It's most unfortunate, in my opinion when an interesting or innovative core mechanic gets fully automated once a generic "prestige" layer is unlocked.

A recent example is Really Grass Cutting Incremental, an incremental game about cutting grass (although I'm really criticizing the Roblox game it's based on). Except, it doesn't continue to be about cutting grass. After you buy enough upgrades to increase your grass cutting and level up sufficiently you "prestige", an abstract term that in this case means you reset all your progress to get some currency to buy upgrades that do the same things as the original upgrades, but these won't reset on future prestiges. You'll eventually be able to "crystallize", which means you reset all your progress to get some currency to buy upgrades that do the same things as the original upgrades (and a couple of new ones) and won't reset on future crystallizes. Fine. You'll progress a bit, complete some challenges, and finally get to... grasshop? Grasshopping is this mechanic where you reset all your progress to get some resource that isn't for buying upgrades - this time you just unlock different modifiers on everything based on their amount. You may have gotten the point by now, but there are also "steelie" resets which give you steel for some reason, before unlocking a factory with various machines - none of which are directly tied to cutting grass, and start gathering things like oil and reset for rocket parts and reset to go to space and so on and so on. Throughout all of this there is absolutely no narrative justification or throughline for the direction the game is going, or why cutting grass is still relevant when we're collecting things like rocket parts. I may be going a little hard on GCI, but it is far from alone.

Ending the Game ​

Incremental games do not often have a planned out narrative or ending,, such that each content update is approached as its own unit of narrative and gameplay. This prevents content updates from wrapping up the game nicely - it always has to leave something open for another content layer; be it another mechanic, reset layer, etc. This cycle will continue until the updates just stop, at which point the game will just have an unsatisfying conclusion that will never get the next thing it was supposed to be leading into. This reminds me of a Leonardo Da Vinci quote about how Art is Never Complete:

Art is never finished, only abandoned. - Leonardo Da Vinci

For what its worth, there are exceptions here (including several of My Projects). I believe this practice is actually fairly reasonable, considering how many incremental game developers are learning game design and programming - keeping the scope small and expanding if it still interests you is a great way to keep learning without letting things like perfectionism or sunk cost fallacies get in the way.

Tips for Developers ​

If you're a developer, by this point you should have a pretty decent idea of how to create "true" content in your game. Here are some other specific tips I'd suggest:

An upgrade that simply unlocks another upgrade trivially isn't content. However, many games have an upgrade that just unlocks a feature, which then has a wait or other requirements before it can be used. Try to make sure when you unlock a feature, there is immediately something to do with the feature - for example, perhaps give them a small amount of the new currency it unlocks, if applicable.

If you don't have a large web of effects, and can definitively say the impact of a purchase is to multiply the gain of the cost currency by N, and the next purchase costs N times the amount of that same currency, then this purchase effectively made no difference and it may have made more sense to just go directly to the next upgrade. That said, having effects based on things like the number of purchases made will quickly invalidate this tip.

If you've been in the incremental games community for any amount of time, you'll quickly find the number one thing players want is content. They want as much of it as possible! The most popular incremental games have tons of content, so they just keep stretching on and on and on, introducing mechanic after mechanic, and players love it. In fact, players seem to value the amount of content over the quality of any specific content. However, there's a bit of a lack of understanding concerning what content is, and I'd like to explore what counts as content, and how we measure it. As a baseline definition, I think "content" can just be described as the parts of the game that engage the player, but to truly understand it we need to contextualize what that means and how it affects the gameplay experience.

To clarify the purpose of this page, my goal is not to get (too) nitpicky or to attack games with "low content". There's nothing wrong with short / low-content games - I'm quite a big fan of those games myself! This is mostly targeted toward those who ask for content and settle for "long" games, and those who want to provide content but want to make sure they're not just artificially inflating the game. Ultimately, I suppose the goal is to just reduce the amount of artificially inflated content for the sake of having a "longer" game.

Interaction ​

I think it should be a fairly non-controversial opinion that time spent solely waiting should not count towards content. That is not including the time reading various effects or making decisions in your head, but rather time spent waiting for a condition to be met so you can re-engage with the game.

That is not to say games should necessarily try to minimize this time. Plenty of games lead towards more infrequent interaction and still get popular. In fact, these games appeal to many gamers who want to have something to check up on in between bursts of working on some other activity. These games seem to have fallen slightly out of fashion amongst modern incremental games, but they're still fully valid. The point I'm trying to make here is just that this time is not content. As an extreme example, a game with no interactions and just a counter that goes up every second could safely be said to have 0 content beyond the time it takes to understand what's going on. If it has a list of "goals" to hit, then the time understanding those goals and a short time after achieving each one could be considered content, but not the idle times in between.

Let's take a look at the opposite end of the spectrum - interaction that is so frequent as to become mindless. This is any mechanic where you need to spam-click something to progress. This may be a more controversial take, but I do not believe this constitutes content either. It does not engage the player, because each consecutive click blends together and they do not individually change the gameplay experience. That is to say, a single click and 100 clicks are not meaningfully different in terms of engaging the player. I'd go as far as to say clicking 100 times would be actively worse, as it's artificially delaying the next piece of actual content, alongside the issues of accessibility and potentially causing RSI.

Repeatable Purchases ​

Imagine an entity in a game that you can purchase multiple times, each time it performs the same thing but for a higher cost. These are incredibly common, from the buildings in cookie clicker to the units in swarm sim to the IP and EP multipliers in antimatter dimensions. However, how much content is each specific purchase? Is it content beyond the first purchase? Does it have diminishing returns? What if you are oscillating between two different repeatable purchases? How much content is lost when you automate) away a repeatable purchase?

I don't want to take too harsh a stance against repeatable purchases. They're useful tools and can be used in a myriad of interesting ways. I feel they do become "stale" or less meaningful content over time, and this happens exponentially quickly the more frequently it can be purchased. A classic example that I believe goes too far is the IP/EP multipliers in Antimatter Dimensions. I would go as far as to say they are a chore and do not provide any meaningful content after you've bought them a couple of times. It's a method for inflating numbers (effectively making every OOM a 5x step instead of 10x), that punishes the player progression-wise whenever they forget to max it again, and eventually gets automated away as a reward to the player for making enough progress.

In fact, I would defend the multipliers for a short while after they're introduced using the same logic I would use to defend normal dimensions as repeatable purchases, at least pre-infinity. There's "content" to be had in looking at what dimensions will become affordable next, and then choosing which to buy amongst those. The IP/EP multipliers, early into infinity or eternity respectively, provide another option that gets put into that mental queue of things to buy with each OOM reached - although the optimal order is often quite trivial and not particularly engaging.

The IP/EP multipliers are not the only repeatable purchase in antimatter dimensions I take offense to. The time dimensions are also a series of repeatable purchases, that are all so similar and static that it doesn't take long before you never need to put any thought into buying them, how much you're buying at once, or the order you buy them in - you just press max all and move on. The entire tab could've been just the max all button and it would not have made a difference beyond the start of the eternity layer. The normal dimensions technically have this problem as well, but since you're constantly getting antimatter the order feels like it has a larger impact and it's more meaningful content, right up until they're automated away. Infinity dimensions are a compromise between the two, so I'm highlighting time dimensions here as the most egregious.

Imperialism refers to how, after all the survivable land in the world was claimed by various countries (as part of colonialism), a country - or empire - must spread its influence over new territory at cost of existing influences over that territory. Typically this has meant land being transferred, either militarily or diplomatically.

Imperialism and Capitalism ​

Lenin wrote an influential pamphlet over his interpretation of imperialism, called "Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism". He argued imperialism was inextricably linked with capitalism, and that the driving force of imperialism was corporations gaining control over natural resources to use for profit, and to improve their position relative to opposing powers. An imperialist war, such as the ones the US has fought in the Middle East, serve both the interests of US oil companies as well as the US itself for its position relative to other imperialist powers. This view has been supported by modern leftist scholars like Michael Parenti in his book Face of Imperialism: Responsibility-Taking in the Political World.

In effect, imperialism has been used to delay resolving the contradiction between the need to expand and the physical limits of the globe. This contradiction cannot be fully resolved under a capitalist system, which requires the need to expand infinitely. Therefore, fighting imperialism means fighting capitalism. Removing power from corporations and banks largely nullifies the reasons for imperialism and is the best path towards global peace.

US Imperialism ​

The size of the US empire is not obvious just by looking at a map of the world, due to its reliance on economic influence and soft power. The US also imperializes through its remaining colonies, proxy wars, and foreign military bases. Second thought has a good introductory video on how significant some of those influences are in How The US Took Over The World.

A lot of these conflicts abroad are done in the open, such as the conflicts part of the war on terror. In this case the government needs to justify to its citizens going to war, which you'll typically see happen regardless of who's in charge. This is a process called manufactured consent, as described by Herman and Chomsky in Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media, although it is not perfect and the US has a history of anti-war protest movements. The vietnam war was our first televised war and had anti war protests even escalate into riots. Today through social media the impact of war is more accessible than ever before, and the Israel-Palestine conflict has had one of the largest anti-war movements yet, although still not as large as Vietnam.

While there are several imperialist powers in the world, the US is a particularly influential one that I, as an American citizen, have the most personal interest in stopping. I believe if the US moved towards socialism the overall influence of capitalism in the world would diminish so thoroughly that it would only further decline into non-existence. This would affect not only the prosperity of the world but save many lives as well: Western imperialism has caused 50-55 million deaths since WW2 as claimed by Andre Vltchek in On western terror, and US-backed conflicts show no sign of stopping so long as capitalist interests remain.

Impact of Imperialism on the Development of the Global South ​

The global south refers to a collection of countries that are under-developed compared to the "global north", and have historically been victims of colonialism and imperialism. Today, the global south makes up 90% of global labor but only receives 21% of globally produced value, according to Jason Hickel et al in Unequal exchange of labour in the world economy. Jason has previously calculated that the global north extracted $242 trillion in value from the global south between 1990 and 2015 alone, despite only returning 1/30th of that in the form of foreign aid, in Imperialist appropriation in the world economy: Drain from the global South through unequal exchange, 1990–2015.

It's worth noting that Hickel is discussing all of the global north, not just the US, but US corporations make heavy use of exploitation by underpaying workers without any form of representation for the exploited or assistance in modernizing these countries ("catching up" developmentally). They allow corporations to act with essentially impunity, not enforcing any form of ethics or ensuring the development of the countries they're getting labor and resources from isn't stagnant. Earth Rights International reported on how Nestle and Cargill were sued for using child slavery in West Africa and after 15 years of legal process finally decided the US-based corporations were not liable for these human rights violations.

In contrast to the US, China has the Belt and Road Initiative started in 2013 where the state itself will lend money to improve the infrastructure development of these countries (and some in the global north as well), and allow for fully free trade (no tariffs) from the particularly underdeveloped. It faced initial backlash, which China responded to by improving their reporting standards and transparency with the countries they've signed contracts with, as described in China’s response to Belt and Road backlash. The initiative has continued to expand since then, and now has contracts with around 150 countries as listed by the Green Finance & Development Center in Countries of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), and accounts for around 20 trillion USD of trade, as reported by China in 2023 in a document called Vision and Actions for High-Quality Belt and Road Cooperation: Brighter Prospects for the Next Decade (cited via an English summary). The BRI has remained controversial within the west, but sentiment seems negative overall. Since 2020 various western publications have labeled the program "debt-trap diplomacy". There are some genuine concerns - China's reluctance to forgive debt and a lack of oversight on how the lent funds are used top amongst them - but I believe they're being exaggerated due to western's biases towards capitalist interests and general sinophobia. I'd link a specific article but there are so many that I'll actually just recommend looking through the wikipedia article for the Belt and Road Initiative which includes various articles from a lot of sources both in favor of and in opposition to the initiative. It has literally hundreds of citations, one of the most well-cited articles I've seen. I get the overall impression that the BRI is arguably more cooperative than exploitative in nature compared to the US strategy, and the countries themselves seem to view the initiative favorably, considering 3/4 of all UN recognized countries are already part of the initiative, with very few choosing not to renew contracts.

Imperialism refers to how, after all the survivable land in the world was claimed by various countries (as part of colonialism), a country - or empire - must spread its influence over new territory at cost of existing influences over that territory. Typically this has meant land being transferred, either militarily or diplomatically.

Imperialism and Capitalism ​

Lenin wrote an influential pamphlet over his interpretation of imperialism, called "Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism". He argued imperialism was inextricably linked with capitalism, and that the driving force of imperialism was corporations gaining control over natural resources to use for profit, and to improve their position relative to opposing powers. An imperialist war, such as the ones the US has fought in the Middle East, serve both the interests of US oil companies as well as the US itself for its position relative to other imperialist powers. This view has been supported by modern leftist scholars like Michael Parenti in his book Face of Imperialism: Responsibility-Taking in the Political World.

In effect, imperialism has been used to delay resolving the contradiction between the need to expand and the physical limits of the globe. This contradiction cannot be fully resolved under a capitalist system, which requires the need to expand infinitely. Therefore, fighting imperialism means fighting capitalism. Removing power from corporations and banks largely nullifies the reasons for imperialism and is the best path towards global peace.

US Imperialism ​

The size of the US empire is not obvious just by looking at a map of the world, due to its reliance on economic influence and soft power. The US also imperializes through its remaining colonies, proxy wars, and foreign military bases. Second thought has a good introductory video on how significant some of those influences are in How The US Took Over The World.

A lot of these conflicts abroad are done in the open, such as the conflicts part of the war on terror. In this case the government needs to justify to its citizens going to war, which you'll typically see happen regardless of who's in charge. This is a process called manufactured consent, as described by Herman and Chomsky in Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media, although it is not perfect and the US has a history of anti-war protest movements. The vietnam war was our first televised war and had anti war protests even escalate into riots. Today through social media the impact of war is more accessible than ever before, and the Israel-Palestine conflict has had one of the largest anti-war movements yet, although still not as large as Vietnam.

While there are several imperialist powers in the world, the US is a particularly influential one that I, as an American citizen, have the most personal interest in stopping. I believe if the US moved towards socialism the overall influence of capitalism in the world would diminish so thoroughly that it would only further decline into non-existence.

Incremental Social is a Fediverse website hosted by me! It was made under the motivation of the fediverse working best when split up into websites that are specialized for specific communities - and in this case, Incremental Social was made and designed explicitly for the incremental games community! Most notably, it hosts an instance of Mbin, Forgejo, and Synapse (and Cinny). Mbin allows it to read and write both reddit-style threads and twitter-style posts, and forgejo allows developers to host their web games. Synapse allows the community to chat in a more synchronous fashion than Mbin.

In the future I plan on having the platform also generate a keypair to allow the user to use this account as their identity on the Agentic Fediverse.

With all these platforms, there will be a goal to support migrating identities elsewhere, so users are not locked in to our platform. Unfortunately a lot of these protocols don't support migration, or not well, so this is going to be a long-term goal.

Individualism is a Neoliberal value system centered around independence and self sufficiency. It argues for taking care of oneself before others, and that it's wrong for people to be forced to take care of others before their selves, i.e. via wealth redistribution. This value system is antithetical to the Anarchist values of community and mutual aid. I personally am against individualism and see it as against humans nature of cooperation. We're a social people and have for our entire existence relied upon each other.

As a personal anecdote, I'm a recent parent and the whole "it takes a village" adage makes a lot of sense, and has made me hyper aware of how individualism has made it very hard to raise a kid these days. There's no 3 generations living in a house anymore, and suburbs are spread out and isolating, preventing strong Local Communities from forming. To sum up, the "village" doesn't exist anymore.

Hyper individualism is a modern invention, not a "good ole traditional value" we should all aspire to. It was explicitly created by capitalist values, and replaced pre-existing value systems that prioritized co-operation.

My Political Journey has brought me to the broad label of being a leftist. Leftism encompasses many ideologies, each with unique visions for an egalitarian society and strategies to achieve it. These pages are my tool to test my understanding by articulating these ideas in my own terms. I don't care to label myself any further than leftist, as in my mind I'm still a student of leftist ideologies and have personally been finding insight across the spectrum of leftist ideologies. As a reminder, this digital garden is a perpetual work in progress and only reflects my understanding of a topic at time of writing.

What is Leftism? ​

Leftism refers to a wide range of political ideologies that share a general opposition to hierarchical structures, particularly class hierarchies. Leftists seek an egalitarian society, though their vision of what this entails and how to achieve it vary significantly. They aim to replace systems based on profit and exploitation with ones prioritizing collective well-being. This typically places them against capitalism, however some leftists seek to retain the role of markets and sometimes even private property.

Major Leftist Ideologies ​

Marxism-Leninism ​

Marxist-Leninists believe the way towards communism - a classless, stateless, moneyless society - requires a transitionary phase called the "dictatorship of the proletariat". This involves a revolutionary vanguard party seizing control of the state to protect against counter-revolutionary forces and reorganize society along socialist lines. The vanguard party will typically do so by taking advantage of a crisis brought on by the contradictions of capitalism. As material abundance is achieved and exploitation becomes structurally impossible, the state will "wither away," giving rise to communism.

Examples of MLism include the Soviet Union and other 20th century communist movements.

Critiques of MLism focus on the authoritarian nature of the transitionary phase and whether the state will truly willingly "wither away" as described.

Maoism and Dengism are adaptations of MLism that apply it to the specific context of China following its Communist Revolution.

Anarchism ​

Anarchists reject the state entirely, viewing it as an inherently oppressive institution that cannot be reformed or repurposed for liberation. Anarchism envisions the immediate transition to a classless, stateless, moneyless society organized through voluntary associations, mutual aid, and decentralized decision-making. Unlike Marxist-Leninists, anarchists argue against any transitionary state, believing it will perpetuate hierarchy rather than dismantle it.

Historical examples include the anarchist collectives in Catalonia during the Spanish Civil War, which experimented with decentralized governance and worker control.

Critics of anarchism often point to decentralized systems being harder to "scale up" without introducing oppressive hierarchies, and their vulnerability to coordinated external threats.

The page dedicated to anarchism will philosophically explore what a stateless society looks like, but does not really cover the process of transitioning from capitalism to anarchism, as I have little confidence such a process is truly possible without a state to protect it, so long as capitalists and other reactionary powers exist.

Market Socialisms and Reformism ​

In contrast to anarchism and communism, these ideologies see markets as a tool for innovation and resource allocation, and argue for transitioning an existing state towards socialism without a vanguard party or revolution.

Syndicalism advocates for decentralized worker control through labor unions that would, through strikes and occupations, control the economy.

Social democracy and democratic socialism focus on reforming capitalist from the existing democratic processes, with the goal of reducing inequality and expanding social welfare. Bernie Sanders is a famous democratic socialist politician in America.

Anarchism vs Communism ​

Anarchism and communism are interesting in that they both describe a classless, stateless, and moneyless society. A society free from class antagonisms and the coercive apparatus of the state. They're both materialist schools of thought that both aim for the collective liberation of all and the abolition of hierarchical power structures. Yet famously these two groups have been at odds throughout history, such as after the Russian Revolution. They have a fundamental disagreement on how to arrive at their ideal society, and those differences are very interesting to explore. These differences not only feed into conflicts between the two groups, but undoubtedly yet subtly shape the society they're ostensibly both striving for.

Communism Strategy ​

Communists argue for a transitionary state - the "dictatorship of the proletariat" - as necessary for defending the revolution from both internal and external counter-revolutionary forces, as well as reorganizing the economy along socialist and eventually communism lines. This is a very long process, as they ultimately believe they need to abolish the material basis for class society, perhaps on a global scale due to Imperialism , before the process is complete. Nevertheless, the state is still seen as a temporary mechanism that will eventually become obsolete and naturally "wither away", as described by Lenin in State and Revolution:

And so in capitalist society we have a democracy that is curtailed, wretched, false, a democracy only for the rich, for the minority. The dictatorship of the proletariat, the period of transition to communism, will for the first time create democracy for the people, for the majority, along with the necessary suppression of the exploiters, of the minority. Communism alone is capable of providing really complete democracy, and the more complete it is, the sooner it will become unnecessary and wither away of its own accord.

In the same document, Lenin describes a talk by Engels to anarchists where he exasperatedly points out they share a common vision for ideal society, and they just disagree on the justifications for a transitionary state. Engels believed not installing the transitionary state would mean not being able to "crush the resistance of the bourgeoisie". That the immediate abolition of the state is impractical in the face of the immense power of capitalist and other reactionary forces.

Anarchist Strategy ​

Anarchists, on the other hand, refute the concept of a transitionary state as a necessary construct; they see installing a state of any kind as a reactionary obstacle to achieving their ideal society. Anarchists see the state as an inherently oppressive institution that cannot be reformed nor repurposed for liberation. As put by Kropotkin in The State: Its Historic Role:

There are those, on the one hand, who hope to achieve the social revolution through the State by preserving and even extending most of its powers to be used for the revolution. And there are those like ourselves who see the State, both in its present form, in its very essence, and in whatever guise it might appear, an obstacle to the social revolution, the greatest hindrance to the birth of a society based on equality and liberty, as well as the historic means designed to prevent this blossoming. The latter work to abolish the State and not to reform it.

They argue that regardless of intent, states are structurally designed to centralize power and perpetuate hierarchy. They believe a state will intrinsically lead to a new ruling class and undermining the revolutionary aims of equality and freedom. And most importantly, they do not accept that a state could "wither away of its own accord", but rather would forever justify its continued existence. As Bakunin put in Statism and Anarchy:

The differences between revolutionary dictatorship and statism are superficial. Fundamentally they both represent the same principle of minority rule over the majority in the name of the alleged “stupidity” of the latter and the alleged “intelligence” of the former. Therefore they are both equally reactionary since both directly and inevitably must preserve and perpetuate the political and economic privileges of the ruling minority and the political and economic subjugation of the masses of the people.

It should be noted that Marx responded to this text, reaffirming that the state would go away due to resource distribution becoming apolitical once abundance is achieved.

Naturally, anarchists also do not believe the economic role of the transitionary state is necessary either, but that a society, even pre-revolution, can work towards meeting the needs of everyone at the local community level through mutual aid and a focus on sustainable living.

Differences in their Visions ​

Due to the different paths to get there, the society each group strives for will be distinct in important ways, despite sharing the common characteristics of being classless, stateless, and moneyless. Communists arrived here almost incidentally after eradicating the material conditions for exploitation. They'll have reached an economic state of abundance, post-scarcity. Although Lenin makes it clear he still believes individuals can consume in excess and must be stopped, although he does not see the state as necessary for that effort:

We are not utopians, and do not in the least deny the possibility and inevitability of excesses on the part of individual persons, or the need to stop such excesses. In the first place, however, no special machine, no special apparatus of suppression, is needed for this: this will be done by the armed people themselves, as simply and as readily as any crowd of civilized people, even in modern society, interferes to put a stop to a scuffle or to prevent a woman from being assaulted. And, secondly, we know that the fundamental social cause of excesses, which consist in the violation of the rules of social intercourse, is the exploitation of the people, their want and their poverty. With the removal of this chief cause, excesses will inevitably begin to "wither away".

The take away here is that the communist vision may happen to be stateless and even follow some anarchist principles, but it was not designed to rigorously uphold all anarchist values. Of particular note, the advanced productive powers developed by the transitionary state would likely be a fairly centralized construct, even without a formal state, which anarchists would see as a coercive force that goes against the principle of free association. Anarchists, instead, would keep the economy decentralized, managing production on the local level guided by the principles of mutual aid and sustainability.

Leftist Infighting ​

Leftist infighting has long been a meme. While their disagreements are inevitable and valid, their intensity is often exacerbated by external forces seeking to dismantle leftist movements. The lack of a unifying framework is what makes leftism in particular susceptible to infighting.

The status quo creates an aligning force for similar ideologies, and makes any ideologies far away from the status quo feel comparatively dissimilar.

Marxist-Leninists advocate for a concept called democratic centralism to combat infighting. It mandates unity of action while allowing for internal debate and discussion. It's particularly useful and relevant for a vanguard party to ensure it is clear who has taken power following a revolution, rather than creating a power vacuum that can be exploited by imperialist powers. However, critics argue democratic centralism can stifle dissent and foster authoritarianism.

Moving Forward ​

As I describe in A Plea to Organize, despite differences between the different ideologies, my advice is still the same: Organize! Join local communities, regardless of affiliation, and support leftism and the community. Mutual aid efforts are particularly helpful and can be found on Mutual Aid Hub.

Additionally: Study! Read theory and better understand leftist ideologies of all stripes. It helps you better understand the philosophies underpinning these ideologies and in turn become a better leftist.

Leftist infighting has long been a meme. While their disagreements are inevitable and valid, their intensity is often exacerbated by external forces seeking to dismantle leftist movements. The lack of a unifying framework is what makes leftism in particular susceptible to infighting.

The status quo creates an aligning force for similar ideologies, and makes any ideologies far away from the status quo feel comparatively dissimilar.

Marxist-Leninists advocate for a concept called democratic centralism to combat infighting. It mandates unity of action while allowing for internal debate and discussion. It's particularly useful and relevant for a vanguard party to ensure it is clear who has taken power following a revolution, rather than creating a power vacuum that can be exploited by imperialist powers. However, critics argue democratic centralism can stifle dissent and foster authoritarianism.

Moving Forward ​

As I describe in A Plea to Organize, despite differences between the different ideologies, my advice is still the same: Organize! Join local communities, regardless of affiliation, and support leftism and the community. Mutual aid efforts are particularly helpful and can be found on Mutual Aid Hub.

Additionally: Study! Read theory and better understand leftist ideologies of all stripes. It helps you better understand the philosophies underpinning these ideologies and in turn become a better leftist.

A series of narrative driven video games with a focus on player choices

I really enjoyed the first game and engaged with the community a lot. I would get very emotional playing through the later chapters, and it became one of my favorite games.

Playthroughs I enjoyed:

Around the start of Haley and I's relationship, we'd play through LiS1 on projectors in our's classrooms

The ending ​

I was not a huge fan of the ending of Life is Strange. Of the two endings, one very clearly got a lot more resources spent on it, but I think Max's story has a better conclusion under the other.

In my mind, Max's arc (and major themes of the last chapter) was about learning not to rely on her powers, and to learn to live with the consequences of her actions. To that end, having the game end with her taking responsibility and living with the consequences of such a major event is a fitting thematic conclusion to the game and her character arc. In contrast, the other ending shows Max relying on her powers once again and, in my opinion, portrays Max as having not grown nor learned any lessons throughout the entire series. I think its a disservice this ending got so much more attention, with unique outfits and a song dedicated to it.

Life is Strange: Before the Storm ​

I really enjoyed this story. I didn't get quite as invested, perhaps due to it being a condensed 3 chapters rather than 5, but the characters will still just as amazing, which is what makes LiS so good. The ending didn't have as much of a punch as LiS1 - in fact, the entire back half of episode 3 didn't quite meet the bar in my eyes. At the time, I enjoyed these threads discussing criticisms levied at that part of the game:

Deadbones played through the game here

The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit ​

I enjoyed the demo, and it certainly got me hyped for LiS2 (although I would've been regardless). Switching to UE seemed like a really good move, and the comic theme fits the aesthetic of the series well.

Life is Strange 2 ​

Unfortunately, I've only played the first chapter of this game. I wanted to play through it with Haley, but we haven't found time to do so.

LATER Skip the rest of LiS1 and play LiS2 with Haley

Life is Strange: True Colors ​

This game seems interesting, although the power does seem a little funnily close to "has empathy". I haven't had time to play it, but would like to.

Life is Strange: Double Exposure ​

I'm very excited for this game! Returning to Max's story sounds awesome. Although I will say, from the trailer alone it's incredibly obvious what one of the story beats will be: Revealing that the two timelines follow the two disparate endings from LiS1.

This game was announced to come with premium editions that get access to the game earlier

  • I think this is a horrible anti-consumer practice
  • Since this game is narratively driven, it is prone to spoilers
  • They're getting more money from their biggest fans without providing any tangible value to them, other than making the experience worse for everyone who plays but doesn't cough up that money

Strongly connected local communities are important to have. They satisfy our social needs for in-person connections, and help organize mutual aid. These needs cannot be sufficiently satisfied exclusively by online friends/communities - of particular note, new parents need help raising their kid.

Historically, society has had these strongly connected local communities, via the way society was organized (i.e. tribes, multi-generational households, etc.) or through entities that focused on community (i.e. local churches). Churches in particular would ensure everyone meets up regularly to see each other, connect, and catch up. They'd host community events and services throughout the year, and mobilize the community during emergencies.

The religious aspect of churches was never a requirement for the benefits they contributed to their local communities, and in fact there are mega-churches today that do not confer these benefits despite retaining the religious aspect.

There are several reasons for why local communities have since weakened. The car has weakened them by making the people physically more spread out and reducing the number of "third places". The internet created a convenient alternative whose communities were not immediately recognized as insufficient imitations of in person communities. Newer generations trend towards irreligiousness, making churches decreasingly popular. Combined, these changes have led to a cultural shift towards Individualism and Neoliberalism that has further cemented our weakened local communities.

The way to "fix" our local communities and make them more strongly connected is to support multi-generational households, increasing population density, and using or creating entities that can replace the community-building role of the church. Such alternatives could be community centers or HOAs. HOAs get a bad reputation due to their tendency to attract those who want power to micro-manage the community, but there are ways to organize them to mitigate that issue (see Anarchism).

This is the list of tools I use for browsing the internet in a safe way that ensures it's a pleasant experience.

Browser ​

I've used a lot of browsers over time, and currently use Zen because of it's modern look. At this point I really just recommend any fork of Firefox (such as Zen). Mozilla has seen its fair share of controversy, but nowhere near the amount Google has, and it's worth using a Firefox based browser in order to fight the chrome monopoly.

Other great Firefox forks to look at are librewolf and waterfox, which are privacy centric and lightweight and run faster than stock firefox.

Extensions ​

A classic recommendation you've probably already heard, uBlock Origin is a requirement for browsing the internet. Ads spy on you and significantly degrade your browsing experience, and this extension fixes that. Gorhill, it's creator, deserves so much appreciation for the service they've done to the entire world.

Youtube ​

If you browse YouTube in your browser, you might be interested in these extensions as well:

Sponsorblock uses crowd sourced information on YouTube videos to automatically skip past parts you don't care about, like sponsor reads or calls to like or subscribe.

DeArrow uses crowd sourced information on YouTube videos to replace the original titles with more descriptive ones (to avoid click bait). It'll also replace thumbnails with random frames from the video itself. Note this extension asks for a $1 donation or to request free access, which can take a few hours (but you can "trial" the extension in the meantime).

With the advent of AI generated content, it has become much more difficult to search the web. Here's some techniques to find useful, original, human made resources.

If you'd like to clean up your mainstream search engine results(Google, DuckDuckGo, or Bing), you can use the Huge AI Blocklist. The list works with uBlock Origin, but they recommend using uBlacklist, an extension specifically for blocking certain Google search results.

If you're willing to pay, Kagi is a premium search engine you may be interested in. Being a paid service, it doesn't rely on ads or tracking to make a profit, and has a great reputation for high quality results and additional features free search engines don't have like personalized rankings for domains.

There is also an independent search engine called Marginalia that designed to show you non commercialized sites that are typically smaller and independent, which acts as a great filter to only see human made resources.

Finally, if your goal is just privacy, the extension mentioned in the following section will help redirect you to alternative search engines as well.

Privacy respecting front ends ​

There are many projects out there that offer sites you can go to that interface with popular but not privacy respecting websites like YouTube or Twitter. This is personally a bit overkill for me, but I've considered using them in the past. Rather than looking up each alternative directly and finding a working instance, I recommend just using a regularly maintained extension that automatically redirects you from the popular site to a working instance of the alternative frontend, like Privacy Redirect.

I use Logseq to journal and collect my thoughts on various topics that interest me

  • Seafile syncs my logseq files between my devices
  • Git syncs my logseq files to a private repo on Incremental Social for purposes of version control and using as a submodule
  • The seafile files and all repos on Incremental Social are independently backed up daily to backblaze

My logseq files are synced to a private git repo which is added as a submodule to my website repo

A Node.js script pre-processes my logseq files into markdown files in the /garden path of the website

  • Converts all links and block references
  • Adds lists of tags and references to pages
  • Adds <h1 /> titles, word counts, update commits, etc. to each page
  • Moves the /now page to /now instead of /garden/now
  • Copies some of the Guide to Incrementals pages to /guide-to-incrementals so as to not break links made before the current site iteration
  • Generates /changelog and its RSS, Atom, and JSON feeds
    • The outputs of the generation are NOT .gitignore'd, as I use the git log to determine which pages updated when - Commit information about when a file was last updated is added via a data loader because if it was added to the file directly, rebuilding the site would count as having updated every page, by updating each commit to the changes introduced last build

Vitepress builds a static site from the markdown files

  • Includes a custom theme that makes the whole site paper-themed
  • Includes some pages like the homepage and the about me page that require markup, thus don't make sense to maintain inside logseq
  • The sidebar is generated from my favorited pages within Logseq
  • Includes various static files, like copies of several of my games and a robots.txt (borrowed from Tracy Durnell's robots.txt) that blocks several crawlers specifically used for training AI models

Three.js is used to create the effect in the background

  • Simplex noise gets used to adjust the opacity of a repeating SVG pattern
  • Initially tried to use just SVG, which supports creating noise and using it as a mask, but it only does 2d noise and I need 2d slices of 3d noise

Microformats are used to markup the site for The IndieWeb

  • The footer contains a minimal h-card with a link to my full profile
  • Each garden page is an h-entry, and the changelog an h-feed
  • All my socials are added as rel-me links, and the profiles then link back to me (as rel-me links, if allowed by the platform)
    • Together this can verify the owner of this website and those socials are the same person

Government ​

I'm definitely a Leftist, and believe our end goal should be a classless, stateless, moneyless society, but acknowledge the role of the state in defending against, at the very least, Imperialist forces abroad, so long as they exist.

I want to eventually reach a society structured as decentralized local communities that operate through Consensus Democracy , and freely associate with other communities for larger scale organizing, such as building and maintaining a rail line.

Economy ​

I believe we should eventually arrive at communism; a post-scarcity society where everyone's needs are met via automation and without the need for currency. Along the way there I expect us to democratize the workplace and work towards nationalizing every idustry.

Society ​

I believe in maximizing personal liberties, so long as one is not actively harmful to others, including most forms of discrimination.

Security ​

I'm against the use of violence by anyone, including the state. I believe in Police Abolition and am against the military and espionage both foreign and domestic. I believe in the Anarchist value of free association, so I believe we should have fully open borders, both for travel and immigration/emigration. I am anti-imperialist and believe in a fairly isolationist foreign policy, but am not against humanitarian foreign aid.

Economy ​

I believe we should eventually arrive at communism; a post-scarcity society where everyone's needs are met via automation and without the need for currency. Along the way there I expect us to democratize the workplace and work towards nationalizing every idustry.

Society ​

I believe in maximizing personal liberties, so long as one is not actively harmful to others, including most forms of discrimination.

Security ​

I'm against the use of violence by anyone, including the state. I believe in Police Abolition and am against the military and espionage both foreign and domestic. I believe in the Anarchist value of free association, so I believe we should have fully open borders, both for travel and immigration/emigration. I am anti-imperialist and believe in a fairly isolationist foreign policy, but am not against humanitarian foreign aid.

My Political Beliefs have changed over time, although I believe it mostly stems from me becoming increasingly informed. Since this website contains content from as far back as 2006, when I was only 10 years old, I'd like to make it extremely clear that I have changed as a person, as we all have, and disavow a lot of my older opinions, roughly everything before 2020 or so but to be safe let's just give a dynamic (current date - 2 years). It's likely you are on this page from viewing a timeline post from that range and clicking the banner. There are bits in that period I may still agree with, but perhaps it would be best to just assume I don't have a stance on it unless there's something more recent about it. Pages in the garden section of this site are evergreen though, meaning I'll keep them up to date as my views change. Feel completely free to judge me for my opinions in there.

Core beliefs ​

I believe I've been fairly political since I was quite young, and had a relatively consistent set of core values that have just been expressed in different ways and through different lenses during different points of my life. For example I've always believed in fairness, but have used that belief to both argue for and against affirmative action. Concepts like freedom or meritocracies have similarly been redefined as I've become more aware of the influence of imperialism and colonialism on our cultural values and society.

Other beliefs of mine have always been around, but I just wasn't informed enough to properly express my views. I've voiced for a very long time that I think society will inevitably trend towards post-scarcity, a world without class, currency, or jobs, where all our needs and desires are met fully, automatically, and sustainably. I've never once pictured that society retaining a hierarchy of wealth or power in any way. But I would not have recognized that as an anarchistic society until relatively recently, mostly due to misinformation and propaganda against anarchy.

Anti-SJW ​

Alright, I'm guessing you're specifically on this page because you saw me upvote something on r/KotakuInAction or like a video from PSASitch or something like that. I'm not proud of this time period, where I read and watched a bit of Anti-SJW content. I'm glad to have moved on from this point of my life, and wish it hadn't happened in the first place. I don't really have any excuses, but appreciate understanding that I have grown as a person since this time.

I migrated a LOT of posts to this website for the sake of having them all in one place and under my control, rather than other websites'. I have not been able to look through the tens of thousands of posts (mostly upvotes/likes), but have done some basic filtering of these opinions I no longer hold. I'm open about the fact I once held these beliefs, but I don't need to be de facto promoting them by sharing them on this website. If you stumble across a post you think I'd rather not have on this site anymore, please reach out.

Radicalization ​

I believe a lot of things contributed to my radicalization, which happened sometime in the early 2020s. Ultimately I think I was just aware that I didn't really like the views I was being exposed to, the direction that media was trying to to pull me, and slowly over time just engaged less and less with that kind of content. I'd always been very economically leftist, so just needed to get over my edgy/cringe phase. I think what put the nail in the coffin was watching through the alt right playbook, a great series I highly recommend. I also started really enjoying a lot of leftist creators, like hasanabi, philosophy tube, and others. The people around me also affect my views, and after leaving college I think I interacted with nicer people on average. Of particular note here is my wife, who had their own political journey which has similarly culminated in us sort of having a positive feedback loop further and further left. Certain events like the BLM protests following George Floyd similarly cemented our position further and further left.

I actually want to also point out I've found a lot of people in this space to be very accepting of people who previously held problematic beliefs. It's largely why I feel comfortable (enough) having a lot of my history public both on this page and the site in general, and being able to describe how my political journey got me to where I am today, a very radical Leftist.

Neoliberalism is a conservative political philosophy that emphasizes Individualism and is resistant to change/progress. It became popular with the advent of President Raegan and his sweeping changes to the US economy and government (replacing the comparatively socialist polices of the New Deal and the Great Society), and affects both the Republican and Democratic US political parties.

I believe neoliberalism primarily affected the boomer generation and generation x. This lines up with trends in protest participation, which dipped during that time (by birth cohort) and picked back up starting with Millenials. The government is still largely controlled by those generations and still very neoliberal, despite increasingly progressive and left-leaning youth demographics.

Neoliberalism often supports ideas like meritocracies, calling them fair and just. However, by ignoring the context surrounding people's abilities and socioeconomic status, meritocracies end up merely reinforcing the current status quo - and if the current status quo is unfair or unjust, so too will be the meritocracy. Needless to say, we do not currently live in a society where the status quo is fair and just.

Objectivity is a myth. All we have are our subjective experiences, which are shaped by our environments and it's Social Constructs.

When a social construct becomes sufficiently ingrained within society to the point it's not recognized as a construct, it can begin to be considered an "objective truth", which can lead to harmful results.

These social constructs form echo chambers around the entire society. In this way, echo chambers fractal within each other. That's not inherently a bad thing, but it's often difficult to recognize echo chambers from inside, and we're all ultimately inside at least one.

"The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum—even encourage the more critical and dissident views. That gives people the sense that there's free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate." - Noam Chomsky

In practice, the idea that objectivity doesn't exist doesn't really impact anything. Our shared experiences are similar enough that our truths about most every day things are compatible. Where this most applies is when there's an argument between two people who are reaching different conclusions despite the same level of knowledge about the topic. In theory, you could probably find a shared common ground and determine that specific logical step in which you diverge. That divergence may be explained by our subjective perspectives on the world, mixed with our personal values. However, a side may claim their side of the divergence is the correct one due to some "objective truth". This is simply not so, but is all too often used to justify bigoted arguments.

Zoe Bee, in The Language War of Politics: How Metaphors Shape Our Thinking, discusses how reality is subjective and shaped by our experiences. This is framed by how metaphors take advantage of this concept to direct how we think about the tenor (the subject of the metaphor).

Economics ​

"Objective Economics" Isn't discusses how objectivity doesn't exist (at least in the context of economics), and how those who claim there is are doing so maliciously.

Yes, neoclassical/marginalist economics — and the Austrian economics to which Carroll predictably adheres — is technically “objective” in the sense that it’s a set of rules that objectively produce the same results from a given set of inputs every time. But the axioms of Austrian economics are, in themselves, trivially — or even circularly — true. What matters is the application of those axioms in a manner sufficiently sophisticated to generate meaningful statements about complex economic phenomena. The assumptions governing that application, and even what questions to ask, reflect value judgments. Any economic paradigm involves such choices, and the choices made will render it more relevant for some purposes and less relevant for others. Those choices are unavoidably political.

They discuss how claiming objectivity is used to add credibility to an argument. However, these "objective" arguments are only true within a specific framework of rules and restrictions, which they only suggest but don't prove matches reality. They effectively erase important context that are inconvenient for their politically motivated argument, and by doing so deliberately draw wrong conclusions.

"Dress is not an art project. It's a language, and you're babbling incoherently" ​

CJ the X discusses in How Jordan Peterson's Suits Taught Me Fashion how the idea that art is subjective hindered his ability to learn fashion as a teenager. He uses the above quote to articulate how contemporary values replacing the oppressive but comparatively well defined fashion values did him a disservice. He was essentially no longer able to learn and get advice on fashion other than through his own individual experimentation. He compares it to a language, where you can learn the grammar and vocabulary, but still be unable to make sensical sentences unless you understand the how and why people put these words together - like understanding the different articles of clothing, but not the why and how they get paired together. Arguing for fashion as a language, and that despite its subjectivity there's still necessarily a learned social component, enables people to be able to teach fashion without feeling like their just upholding old bigoted values. It's also a brilliant argument for why Social Constructs can be and are useful.

He also describes the history of fashion's values, and how previously there was the idea of a singular "objective" sense of fashion, and that those who disagree are just incorrect. Essentially that meant the goal of fashion was to look like how the elites look. He argues that today fashion is still trying to look how the elites look, but now the elites are fractured - academic elites have their own fashion from, say, the elites of hip hop. This actually sounds a lot like Butler's argument for Gender Performativity.

Objectivity is a myth. All we have are our subjective experiences, which are shaped by our environments and it's Social Constructs. Often something appearing objective more likely means its biased towards either your pre-conceived opinion, or the "status quo" opinion of the society or culture the work was created in.

When a social construct becomes sufficiently ingrained within society to the point it's not recognized as a construct, it can begin to be considered an "objective truth", which can lead to harmful results.

In college I continued development on the Opti-Speech project, originally built alongside the scientific paper Opti-speech: a real-time, 3d visual feedback system for speech training

The Original Project ​

The Optispeech project involves designing and testing a real-time tongue model that can be viewed in a transparent head while a subject talks — for the purposes of treating speech errors and teaching foreign language sounds. This work has been conducted in partnership with Vulintus and with support from the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

This video shows an American talker learning a novel sound not found in English. When the post-alveolar consonant is hit, the target sphere changes color from red to green. Here, the NDI WAVE system serves as input.

My Work ​

As the sole programmer at UT Dallas Speech Production Lab at the time, my changes involved updating to a more modern version of Unity, improving the interface, in general cleaning up tech debt so it can more easily support new features, and added support for additional EMA systems, namely the Carstens AG501.

In addition, the program now includes documentation and unit tests to improve program stability and maintainability going forward.

This is an app I'm designing and at least building a mock for. I'd like it to either get built directly into Commune or integrate with it. The purpose of the app is to organize and grow a Network of Knowledge (or Digital Garden) sorted by topic. It achieves this through a concept called message gardening, the process of converting casual conversations into formal, referenceable stores of knowledge.

The problem I have that I'm trying to solve is having a lot of conversations about various topics stretching back far into the past and across many platforms. I often want to review something I said on a given topic and find it difficult to do so. This app would make it far easier to retrieve my notes on any topic. It's different than a traditional note-taking app because it works with conversations directly, which is how my "notes" on a topic initially start out as. As a secondary effect, this will also fix some of the issues described in the chat glue comic. I'd like it to eventually support even more of the ideas proposed in that comment, like replies and reactions to parts of a message.

The main way you interact with the app is by conversing. As you converse in your group chats and DMs, which are technically through matrix but can bridge to other platforms like discord, you can specify topic changes. These will break the conversation up into pieces, and each piece gets added to each of the topics it was about (with links to the convo from before and after that one). If a piece was about multiple topics it forms a link between those topics and considers them in some way related. These links are represented as lines in the topics graph, and cause the topics to be physically closer within the graph. Topics can use slashes to indicate hierarchy, which will also place them next to each other in the graph.

Non-conversation notes ​

In addition to including conversations, I want to support freeform notes that also discuss one or more topics. Through leaf's compositional structure, in theory any entity should be able to be added to the network.

Another type of non-conversation note could be excerpts from online articles, which could be automatically cited.

When allowing these kinds of notes, users should be encouraged to split notes as small as possible. This allows us to avoid needing something like Garden-RSS by just showing that a note has updated, and showing the new content.

Communal Networks ​

By integrating with commune on the server side, the network could be maintained by the entire community, allowing any (trusted) members to mark topic changes. This has the benefit of making maintenance easier on any individual, but also it means users wanting to catch up on the conversations can now do so via the graph, ignoring any conversations that don't mention any topics that user doesn't particularly care about.

Federation ​

Allow clients to "follow" those communal networks, replicating them locally and merging them together (aliasing similar topics as necessary). This allows users to get very large networks much more easily, and further incentivizes contributing to the communal networks.

LLMs ​

A local LLM could assist in marking topic changes automatically, allowing you to get the benefits of the conversation being broken up for catching up even while on a non-commune chat.

LLMs could also be given the topics as context and be able to query the network for knowledge.

Tech Stack ​

The client will be a matrix client that stores all the messages locally. It'll use Fedi v2 to store the messages and other data, making the whole app Local-First Software. The rest of the app will be a web-based UI, using Neutralino.js or an alternative.

Actually, tauri apparently doesn't require rust per-say, and has things like mobile support and a better dev experience.

The server will be something that ensures commune servers can share topic changes across the community.

Consider using Animata components

I'm a supporter of the police abolition movement, which calls for police and prisons to be abolished. It argues that there are many inherent problems with policing and incarcerating people that cannot be fixed with just further training or restrictions - the entire system must be entirely abolished. In this way, it is a more extreme version of the police reform or defund the police movements. The movement also posits that there are alternatives to policing and incarceration that can be more effective at reducing crime.

What is police abolition? ​

Just to make sure we're all on the same page as to what police abolition means and involves, I'll be using some definitions from Critical Reach:

The prison industrial complex (PIC) is a term we use to describe the overlapping interests of government and industry that use surveillance, policing, and imprisonment as solutions to economic, social and political problems.

PIC abolition is a political vision with the goal of eliminating imprisonment, policing, and surveillance and creating lasting alternatives to punishment and imprisonment.

I'll generally just say police or prison abolition, but I'm still referring to pieces of PIC abolition.

Why abolish police? ​

There are a variety of reasons for abolishing the police, from its controversial origins to its pervasive discrimination to its overall lack of effectiveness. Ultimately though, I would argue this movement stems from anarchistic principles and values. Anarchism posits that no person should hold power over another (a simplification sufficient for this document), which would include the use of force or imprisonment. Anarchists argue the State has no right to exist, let alone that it has no right to call it's violence legitimate. From this premise, any form of policing or incarceration is unjust. However, let's explore additional problems within the specific context of the US:

Origins of policing ​

The initial implementation of the police in the US was inspired both by the systems they experienced across the pond as well as the bands of slave catchers that were present at the time. The fact policing and incarceration as concepts had to be invented and introduced to people who were already existing just fine is telling enough, and the fact they were introduced to bring slaves back to their owners is even more telling. These origins have ingrained racism into the entire system, and they are still evident today when looking at racial profiling, incarceration rates, etc.

Throughout their history police have, in practice, protected "property" (which slaves were considered to be at the time), not people. In a broader sense, they were a tool of the capitalist elite. That's why the Supreme Court ruled that police do not actually have an obligation to protect nor serve citizens and why early cops were also strike breakers.

While the origins of an institution don't necessarily dictate how it is structured and operated hundreds of years later, they do give insight into how the institution was designed and what purposes/roles it was actually filling. Today, thanks to various forms of "copaganda" in media, there's rhetoric that people should support and appreciate the police, that they are fair and effective and protect us from crime and villainy. As we'll continue to describe, I think the police are much more similar to their roots than the fiction they're portrayed as.

Discriminating against the poor ​

The police are designed to reinforce the capitalist status quo; the "law and order" they uphold is less so to do with ensuring life is fair and safe for all, but rather to keep the working class in check so the capitalist class are safe and secure. This is most evident by looking at how many laws primarily affect the poor and how rarely laws are enforced when the perpetrator is a capitalist.

"The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal their bread."
Anatole France

Property crime lead to over 750,000 arrests in 2019. Wage theft, which according to a 2014 study may account for up to $50 Billion stolen, is a civil matter that doesn't lead to any arrests. In fact, white collar misdeeds are often not classified as criminal offenses - that's why after the 2008 housing market crash that devastated millions, only 1 banker was arrested and it was for something relatively trivial compared to the actual crash.

Even when it is a criminal offense, white collar crime is rarely punished. A lot of societal elites get away with horrendous misdeeds essentially out in the open. In fact, prosecuting the rich is so out of the norm that a rookie cop arresting Justin Timberlake caused a kerfuffle online because of just how much people like Justin aren't supposed to get arrested.

As a side note, there's a double standard here where rich are treated differently from poor people when they're the perpetrator of the crime, but not when they're the victim. If you look online for opinions on whether stealing from the rich to give to the poor is actually justified, you'll get a fairly overwhelming response that "theft is theft" and the context within which the theft occurred is not relevant. I think it's important to keep in mind the context of how the rich have rigged the system to consolidate wealth in the hands of as few as possible, and the impact that has had on society. On other issues, people are just fine dealing with nuance, like how violence is justified when it's self defense. I believe our society has been deliberately shaped to have the value that the victim being poor vs rich shouldn't matter, specifically because it benefits the rich.

Racism ​

The PIC has not shaken off the racism ingrained within its roots. Arrests are not proportional to actual crime rates, disproportionately affecting people of color - including when the cops themselves are black. Additionally, laws have been introduced throughout the history of the US that were explicitly designed to affect minorities, like the Jim Crow laws or the entirety of Nixon's war on drugs (a victimless "crime").

The police are an active threat to black people, who are 3x as likely to be shot and killed from the police without presenting a threat. That makes cops people to be avoided and who cannot be relied upon in an emergency. Even calling the police yourself is a risk.

Cost ​

The government spends hundreds of billions of dollars on the incarceral system, an absolutely profound amount of money that could make enormous differences had it been put to social services instead.

The prison system has for profit private prisons with minimum occupancy clauses that cost taxpayers money if we don't arrest enough people. This is a gross financial incentive to arrest more people, and it disincentivizes actual rehabilitation. These contribute to the US' incredibly high recidivism rates.

Ineffectiveness at stopping crime ​

Most crimes performed are out of necessity, not malice. For example, few would be stealing baby formula or bread if it weren't for our economic system introducing artificial scarcity to keep prices going up.

America has the highest incarceration rate in the world, for a variety of the reasons mentioned in this document. Yet, the fear of punishment and imprisonment does not seem to have the effect of discouraging crime. Indeed, increasing incarceration does not decrease crime.

Criminal officers ​

Officers themselves perpetrate a lot of crime (and I suspect there's a lot of police crimes that doesn't get reported), including 1/3 of all murders that involve a stranger, and are typically protected by a corrupt system with the strongest union in the nation (often attributed to the union serving the interests of capital, rather than workers like labor unions). In particular, officers have incredibly high rates of interspousal conflicts. Therefore, abolitionism is the only solution to gender-based violence.

How to abolish police ​

There are many ways to reduce the need of police until it's eventually zero. Immediately, perpetratore of victimless crimes should be let out of prison. You can also reduce most root causes of crime, rather than spending the money on incarcerating the perpetrators

Crime reduction ​

Abolitionists still want to ensure public safety, just not through policing and incarceration. They believe, since most crime is not born of malice, that improving society by ensuring everyone's needs are met would evaporate the majority of crimes as well - at least as many as are prevented by the current system. Police are incredibly over funded, enough to buy things like surplus tanks from the US military. That money can instead go to social programs that would solve the root causes that lead to crimes.

Societies can and will find alternative ways of preventing any specific crime. An often used example is if you have a drunk friend who is about to drive home, you typically will help get them a ride (driving yourself if you're sober, or calling them a cab or uber otherwise) rather than calling the police on them. Abolitionism finds policing as only required by those who lack the political imagination to find other solutions - basically, cure the diseases rather than treat the symptoms. At a systemic level, drunk driving can be reduced or eliminated by improving public transit.

Dangerous incidents ​

With the police abolished, there are likely to still be cases where an individual is a danger to themselves or others. For these situations, there are ideas on how to resolve it without state sanctioned violence, that typically focus on local communities setting up alternative resources. Mobile crisis teams are one such alternative, although not without similar concerns regarding their authority to forcibly incarcerate people in mental health hospitals. There are a lot of alternatives out there, but they're typically specific to local communities and don't really have a "one size fits all" solution. Here's an article about a couple such initiatives, and this article linked earlier also discusses some specific local initiatives.

Another criticism of prison abolitionism specifically is What do you do with the murderers and rapists?, but as that article describes: we already don't incarcerate many murderers and rapists, especially the significant amount of murderers and rapists who are also officers. It argues the incarceral system already fails in this regard, and focuses on punishing the perpetrator rather than helping the victims, which is something we could do without incarceration.

Consequences ​

While punishments are not good deterrents, some consequences for crimes are still justified and can be enforced without requiring incarceration. A victim may be "made whole" (have the damage reversed to the best of our ability) at expense of the perpetrator, or the society itself (using resources its no longer spending on police or prison). If there's a material cause for the crime having taken place, e.g. a hungry person stealing food, those material conditions can be improved. For cases where the perpetrator is chronically exhibiting anti-social behavior, a trip to a rehabilitation facility, which would be operated significantly differently from the PIC, could be warranted. Stuff like anger management courses or resources to help kick addictions would naturally still be present in a society without prisons.

Further reading ​

I have not finished reading it yet myself, but I recommend We Do This ‘Til We Free Us by Mariame Kaba based on this NBC article on the book and author.

How police make up the law by Philosophy Tube is a very well produced look at how police got their de facto supreme authority, and it's implications. They have several other videos on the police I recommend, and any other videos they've made 😃.

As we'll continue to describe, I think the police are much more similar to their roots than the fiction they're portrayed as.

Discriminating against the poor ​

The police are designed to reinforce the capitalist status quo; the "law and order" they uphold is less so to do with ensuring life is fair and safe for all, but rather to keep the working class in check so the capitalist class are safe and secure. This is most evident by looking at how many laws primarily affect the poor and how rarely laws are enforced when the perpetrator is a capitalist.

"The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal their bread."
Anatole France

Property crime lead to over 750,000 arrests in 2019. Wage theft, which according to a 2014 study may account for up to $50 Billion stolen, is a civil matter that doesn't lead to any arrests. In fact, white collar misdeeds are often not classified as criminal offenses - that's why after the 2008 housing market crash that devastated millions, only 1 banker was arrested and it was for something relatively trivial compared to the actual crash.

Even when it is a criminal offense, white collar crime is rarely punished. A lot of societal elites get away with horrendous misdeeds essentially out in the open. In fact, prosecuting the rich is so out of the norm that a rookie cop arresting Justin Timberlake caused a kerfuffle online because of just how much people like Justin aren't supposed to get arrested.

As a side note, there's a double standard here where rich are treated differently from poor people when they're the perpetrator of the crime, but not when they're the victim. If you look online for opinions on whether stealing from the rich to give to the poor is actually justified, you'll get a fairly overwhelming response that "theft is theft" and the context within which the theft occurred is not relevant. I think it's important to keep in mind the context of how the rich have rigged the system to consolidate wealth in the hands of as few as possible, and the impact that has had on society. On other issues, people are just fine dealing with nuance, like how violence is justified when it's self defense. I believe our society has been deliberately shaped to have the value that the victim being poor vs rich shouldn't matter, specifically because it benefits the rich.

Racism ​

The PIC has not shaken off the racism ingrained within its roots. Arrests are not proportional to actual crime rates, disproportionately affecting people of color - including when the cops themselves are black. Additionally, laws have been introduced throughout the history of the US that were explicitly designed to affect minorities, like the Jim Crow laws or the entirety of Nixon's war on drugs (a victimless "crime").

The police are an active threat to black people, who are 3x as likely to be shot and killed from the police without presenting a threat. That makes cops people to be avoided and who cannot be relied upon in an emergency. Even calling the police yourself is a risk.

Cost ​

The government spends hundreds of billions of dollars on the incarceral system, an absolutely profound amount of money that could make enormous differences had it been put to social services instead.

The prison system has for profit private prisons with minimum occupancy clauses that cost taxpayers money if we don't arrest enough people. This is a gross financial incentive to arrest more people, and it disincentivizes actual rehabilitation. These contribute to the US' incredibly high recidivism rates.

Ineffectiveness at stopping crime ​

Most crimes performed are out of necessity, not malice. For example, few would be stealing baby formula or bread if it weren't for our economic system introducing artificial scarcity to keep prices going up.

America has the highest incarceration rate in the world, for a variety of the reasons mentioned in this document. Yet, the fear of punishment and imprisonment does not seem to have the effect of discouraging crime. Indeed, increasing incarceration does not decrease crime.

Criminal officers ​

Officers themselves perpetrate a lot of crime (and I suspect there's a lot of police crimes that doesn't get reported), including 1/3 of all murders that involve a stranger, and are typically protected by a corrupt system with the strongest union in the nation (often attributed to the union serving the interests of capital, rather than workers like labor unions). In particular, officers have incredibly high rates of interspousal conflicts. Therefore, abolitionism is the only solution to gender-based violence.

How to abolish police ​

There are many ways to reduce the need of police until it's eventually zero. Immediately, perpetratore of victimless crimes should be let out of prison. You can also reduce most root causes of crime, rather than spending the money on incarcerating the perpetrators

Crime reduction ​

Abolitionists still want to ensure public safety, just not through policing and incarceration. They believe, since most crime is not born of malice, that improving society by ensuring everyone's needs are met would evaporate the majority of crimes as well - at least as many as are prevented by the current system. Police are incredibly over funded, enough to buy things like surplus tanks from the US military. That money can instead go to social programs that would solve the root causes that lead to crimes.

Societies can and will find alternative ways of preventing any specific crime. An often used example is if you have a drunk friend who is about to drive home, you typically will help get them a ride (driving yourself if you're sober, or calling them a cab or uber otherwise) rather than calling the police on them. Abolitionism finds policing as only required by those who lack the political imagination to find other solutions - basically, cure the diseases rather than treat the symptoms. At a systemic level, drunk driving can be reduced or eliminated by improving public transit.

Dangerous incidents ​

With the police abolished, there are likely to still be cases where an individual is a danger to themselves or others. For these situations, there are ideas on how to resolve it without state sanctioned violence, that typically focus on local communities setting up alternative resources. Mobile crisis teams are one such alternative, although not without similar concerns regarding their authority to forcibly incarcerate people in mental health hospitals. There are a lot of alternatives out there, but they're typically specific to local communities and don't really have a "one size fits all" solution. Here's an article about a couple such initiatives, and this article linked earlier also discusses some specific local initiatives.

Another criticism of prison abolitionism specifically is What do you do with the murderers and rapists?, but as that article describes: we already don't incarcerate many murderers and rapists, especially the significant amount of murderers and rapists who are also officers. It argues the incarceral system already fails in this regard, and focuses on punishing the perpetrator rather than helping the victims, which is something we could do without incarceration.

Consequences ​

While punishments are not good deterrents, some consequences for crimes are still justified and can be enforced without requiring incarceration. A victim may be "made whole" (have the damage reversed to the best of our ability) at expense of the perpetrator, or the society itself (using resources its no longer spending on police or prison). If there's a material cause for the crime having taken place, e.g. a hungry person stealing food, those material conditions can be improved. For cases where the perpetrator is chronically exhibiting anti-social behavior, a trip to a rehabilitation facility, which would be operated significantly differently from the PIC, could be warranted. Stuff like anger management courses or resources to help kick addictions would naturally still be present in a society without prisons.

Further reading ​

I have not finished reading it yet myself, but I recommend We Do This ‘Til We Free Us by Mariame Kaba based on this NBC article on the book and author.

How police make up the law by Philosophy Tube is a very well produced look at how police got their de facto supreme authority, and it's implications. They have several other videos on the police I recommend, and any other videos they've made 😃.

Political quizzes are a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine. I really enjoy getting my beliefs distilled into a handful of labels, and getting forced to think about issues I may not have thought about that thoroughly. I often take issue with the wording of various questions though, and certainly have opinions on some quizzes being better than others.

Ultimately, the reason I consider these quizzes a guilty pleasure is because the results shouldn't really be used for anything. I believe we should vote on the issues directly, and any form of Representative Democracy is an unnecessary abstraction. The labels may be useful as a mnemonic, but not as useful as the individual answers and the justifications behind those answers. Plus, people are going to interpret the questions differently, especially when it comes to understanding terms like liberalism, freedom, or merit.

With all that said, here I'll discuss some tests I've taken, the results I've gotten l, and my overall thoughts on it. I'll include the dates taken so they can map to My Political Journey.

Prism Political Quiz ​

Made by the six triangles creator, I really like this test! It actually might be my favorite. It novelly gives you multiple positions to take on a given issue, rather than a statement you can agree or disagree with. I overall really liked the choices, and nearly always felt one represented my views.

I like the results I got on 2024-09-06. I was surprised at my government value being just "direct democracy", when the way I define my views on Government in My Political Beliefs (at the time of taking the test), which I believe I reflected accurately in my responses here, would probably include at least some points on anarchism and confederationism. That said, I liked these results so much that they inspired me to write that page on my political beliefs, which takes clear inspiration from this test.

Six Triangles ​

I was intrigued by Six Triangles' idea of replacing axes with triangles, although some of the additional points seem a bit redundant, or just acted as a disguised additional axis. For example, the truth corner of personal freedom is not really related to the axis of freedom vs security. It could have easily been its own axis specific to misinformation. Similarly, I think the burden corner of equality is going to be highly correlated to their equality of opportunity score. Others, however, really benefit from the third point, like economy being split up into laissez faire capitalism, "well regulated" capitalism, and socialism.

Unfortunately, I found a lot of the questions to be poorly worded or vague. For example, I disagree with the statement "The government occasionally needs to do things which aren't popular for the good of its people" because popular isn't sufficient, but in a system that requires unanimity (or near unanimity), I'd argue everything that gets passed is for the good of the people, based off the values and considerations of those specific people. That nuance doesn't carry over if I just select "disagree" though. They also have the statement "Small government is usually better than big government" without any context for what big vs small mean in this context: number of employees? Amount of nationalized services? Number of constituents? Amount of regulations? This distinction matters for getting (more) accurate results.

The results from taking it on 2024-09-05 were quite satisfying to go through. I particularly enjoyed being called a "Fanatic anti-imperialist". The main score I disagreed with was the government triangle; I would've preferred a higher minarchy score.

I like that this quiz gives live feedback, as it helped me introspect on the differences between my self-reported positions versus positions political quizzes assign me (for example, I usually think I'm way closer to anarchist than these tests usually put me, although funnily enough this quiz probably gave me one of the strongest anarchist score of any test I've taken). I also like that the creator is an anarchist themselves, which is likely uncommon across political quiz writers. I also felt like a lot of the questions were phrased in quite interesting ways.

A popular form of MTX where instead of receiving a useful item or effect directly, you receive a currency that is then spent on an in game store

Reasons companies use them

  • Abstracts the real world price of items
    • No strict conversion ratio
    • Discounts for bulk purchasing
    • Small amounts given for free based on story progression or watching ads
  • Consolidates smaller purchases into a larger one (decreasing friction of individual purchases)

These two terms refer to how words are defined. Prescriptivism is where definitions are written by an authority of some sort and users of the language are supposed to respect that definition, or else they are incorrect. Prescriptivism defines a truth, a boundary on what is allowed. Descriptivism, on the other hand, argues definitions should be based on how the word is currently being used. Someone using it differently is not wrong, they're just part of the normal process through which definitions can change. Descriptivism, therefore, does not define an objective truth. A notable example of this dichotomy is the definition of "literally". It was defined as meaning something that is to be taken at face value, but dictionaries have found justification for it having a second, near opposite, definition.

I'm fairly against prescriptivism, but acknowledge the argument that words are more useful when their definitions don't change underneath you, especially in cases where the word can now ambiguously refer to the opposite of one of its other definitions. However, the cultural change in definitions happens regardless, so I think it's important to be able to analyze how words are being used and decide if and when it makes sense to update those definitions. I feel the same way about all Social Constructs , which language is just one of.

Dictionaries take a stance in between the two extremes - both becoming an authoritative (and therefore prescriptive) source of definitions, but updating them as deemed necessary to more closely match their real-world uses.

Profectus is an Open Source game engine I made, loosely based on The Modding Tree by Acamaeda. It centers around using Vue's reactivity and is designed with the intent to not restrain developers into making games that only look or behave "one way". Also, technically it's more of a template (rather than engine) for making web games.

Scientific constructivism is the philosophical idea that science is a Social Construct , in this case one created socially by scientists.

In her video on Social Constructs, Philosophy Tube discusses taxonomy as an example social construct. We observe animals' natural properties and form categories along arbitrary lines, and just deal with weird edge cases like the platypus that don't neatly fit into our prescribed lines. Some criticized this argument, because modern taxonomy typically looks at lineage and nearest shared ancestors, which avoids those edge cases and is therefore seen as a more "objective" measure. But us choosing to taxonomize using that metric versus any other is still inherently arbitrary and thus a construct.

This lovely response to Richard Dawkins claiming science is not a social construct is a great read. It argues, amongst other points, that science is to natural properties as a map is to the physical landscape. That is, science and maps are social constructs because they are our attempts to define and understand the underlying properties. Science is a process, not objective truth. (This same argument could be applied to mathematics, where there is some underlying property we don't have a name for, but mathematics - the axioms, theorems, proofs, etc. - as a collective body is a social construct above that underlying property). Philosophy Tube describes how height, one such natural property, might be used at different layers of social constructs. We have a concept of "tallness", which is a social construct based on the underlying property "height". However there could be a society that goes an extra layer of abstraction up and has a concept of "bigs", which are the elites of this society, as determined by their exceptional tallness. We might think its silly of such a society to structure themselves in this way, and question their reasoning for having a concept of "bigs" in the first place. But so to could a society that's one layer below ours question us for having a concept of "tallness", arguing that its fine to measure height but that its silly to describe people as being tall or not. They might argue that they, by merely measuring a natural property of height, do not have a social construct. However a layer below even them might question them for choosing to measure height in the first place. Does that not inherently imbue meaning (and therefore a social definition) upon the measured number? And by that logic, any measured property, by us choosing to measure it in the first place, is some level of social construct.

Science will often be affected by our own biases and come to incorrect conclusions. A classic example of this is phrenology, a racist "science" that used its supposed " Objectivity" to argue for racial differences that didn't exist. You may argue that science has already built in affordances for previous research being determined incorrect, however. We have (flawed) peer reviews and regularly (ish) replicate experiments and further verify various historical theories. However even the process of peer reviews, the scientific method, and conducting science at all are social constructs. Academia similarly has arbitrary restrictions, like defining statistical significance at 5% difference, that arbitrarily determine what is science and what is not (and often leads to data dredging).

While looking online to see people who agree and disagree with science as a social construct, I found some interesting pages that didn't really fit in elsewhere. I found this paper, Questioning science: how knowledge is socially constructed , which has a cool sounding abstract but I haven't found the article itself, and considering how little its been cited it seems far from seminal. I also found this entertaining forum thread discussing social constructs and science, which became a good example of how many people believe something being a construct means its not "real", and that therefore anything real/observable must therefore not be a construct. Fortunately, there are some voices in there attempting to clarify the nature of social constructs, and the back and forth was just enjoyable to read.

Social constructs are concepts with social definitions. Having a "social definition" really just means its some concept or property some group of peoples (or even animals) has prescribed meaning to. You know of and use these all the time throughout your life, and have likely identified some common ones like gender or class. As we'll discuss, however, there are far, far many more social constructs than the ones commonly referred to as such. It should be noted that while these concepts are essentially "made up", in the sense that they are arbitrary distinctions created by imperfect beings, that does not make them "not real". They exist and are typically created for a reason, often convenience. However, those reasons can be analyzed and determined to be more harmful than useful. This article's goal is to discuss and encourage analyzing social constructs, to better identify them and determine their utility and impact on society. Furthermore that it's possible to change or even destroy these constructs, and it's our social duty to do so when appropriate.

With a definition for social constructs as a concept established, how would you go about defining a specific social construct? Well that's tricky, due to social constructs' nature. It's useful to define words using either Prescriptivism or Descriptivism, but social constructs are much too ephemeral and complex to truly be defined using either approach. How would you attempt to make a complete, non-simplified definition of gender, for example? Gender has an impact on all parts of society, with gender roles shaping our entire lives and society and it interacts with various other similarly complicated constructs like class or family. All of this makes these concepts so complex that many incredibly smart people will spend their entire lives just writing about a single construct. While useful, these papers are obviously not the way we are typically introduced to constructs, or how we gain an understanding of them within a complex network of constructs.

Kids effectively "learn" the definitions of social constructs via exposure to them. They don't need to be explicitly outlined, at least not wholly, but rather experienced and lived. Kids observe people performing their gender roles, recognize their family and duties within it, calculate their age by counting the number of birthdays they've had, etc. Humans are powerful at recognizing patterns and through that naturally build an understanding, piece by piece, for all these constructs and how they interact, even if they couldn't formally define any of them. They'll go on to follow the unstated rules of these constructs, reinforcing them and teaching them by demonstration to following generations.

These constructs form a complex web, where any specific construct is only useful in the context of the web it is both a part of and dependent on. For example, knowing what a "bakery" is depends on the concept of a store, which depends on the concept of a building, and which depends on the concept of a structure. And this is just one path we could've taken - we could've alternatively explored bread or employees or shopping, and so on.

Ultimately, constructs are supposed to be useful. They allow us to communicate, understand, and exist within our society. One without any constructs would be impossible to do anything in. But these constructs also gained a lot of meanings during times of oppressive forces taking over the world, and can seriously harm people, particularly with concepts like Gender. In the same way these constructs allow us to understand the world around us, they can also mold us to fit those definitions. That's my real motive behind this page - to help recognize these constructs, analyze their utility, and ultimately decide if they're a construct worth continued support.

Some social constructs may seem to have straightforward definitions, but there is nuance and caveats that are still exclusively defined through social means. Take soup, for example. Oxford describes it as "a liquid dish, typically made by boiling meat, fish, or vegetables, etc. in stock or water". Well first off, that "typically" is already a concession that there are some traits that seem common, but not necessary to the definition. Is a bowl of cereal and milk considered soup? How liquid does the base have to be - would spaghetti Os count? And perhaps even a "liquid dish" is a murky requirement itself; let's talk about a game called Something something soup something, which uses gameplay of deciding which of various weird maybe-soups actually counts as soup. Their goal is to reveal through gameplay that "that even an ordinary concept like 'soup' is vague, shifting, impossible to define exhaustively". They released an analysis of results from what people typically considered requirements for "soupyness", and found nearly a third of participants (from focus groups and tracked players) accepted solids like rocks or ice cubes as viable bases for a soup. The oxford definition didn't mention container or utensil used for consuming soup, but the game found 25% of their focus group and 10% of their players considered the container being bowl-like or the utensil spoon-like as important. The point is that these definitions are subjective and learned socially, and thus have blurred edges that can change over time - you won't be able to find a complete definition in any dictionary. And don't even get me started on what a sandwich is!

Similar to how social constructs can have a nice simple definition that doesn't really encapsulate the social definition, the definition of social constructs as "concepts with social definitions" doesn't really explain just how ubiquitous these concepts are . Nearly everything is a social construct; everything from "age" to "bakeries" to "north" to "sandwiches" are social constructs; These concepts that society has built an understanding of over long periods of time, and have been shaped by our shared cultures and values. Even naming those constructs was a social agreement that those concepts are worth pointing out - Why make distinctions between different types of stores? Why distinguish some buildings as stores in the first place? Or call some structures buildings and others, like a fence, not? All of these are social constructs we use to help understand the world, that we learned through our experiences within our given society and culture. They're also all arbitrary and oftentimes you'll see these lines and distinctions differ between peoples. Take color, for example: We have many different colors - red, blue, green, yellow, purple, and so on. But why do we have those specific colors? Why does light red get its own name but not light green? Why is blue a boy color and pink a girl color? Is the dress black and blue or white and gold? Where is the line between dark blue and black? Why does the rainbow only sometimes include an indigo and violet? Well, all these decisions just kinda resolve as society continues to change. Those categories of colors just happened to be the ones our culture uses. But other cultures separate them out in different ways, like caring more about brightness than hue. Some cultures don't even have a concept of color, or might group colors differently than us - like grouping some colors as "like ripe fruit", which may seem just as out of place to us as us grouping green and tan in a category called "camo" would seem out of place to them.

Nearly everything is a social construct; everything from "age" to "bakeries" to "north" to "sandwiches" are social constructs; These concepts that society has built an understanding of over long periods of time, and have been shaped by our shared cultures and values. Even naming those constructs was a social agreement that those concepts are worth pointing out - Why make distinctions between different types of stores? Why distinguish some buildings as stores in the first place? Or call some structures buildings and others, like a fence, not? All of these are social constructs we use to help understand the world, that we learned through our experiences within our given society and culture. They're also all arbitrary and oftentimes you'll see these lines and distinctions differ between peoples. Take color, for example: We have many different colors - red, blue, green, yellow, purple, and so on. But why do we have those specific colors? Why does light red get its own name but not light green? Why is blue a boy color and pink a girl color? Is the dress black and blue or white and gold? Where is the line between dark blue and black? Why does the rainbow only sometimes include an indigo and violet? Well, all these decisions just kinda resolve as society continues to change. Those categories of colors just happened to be the ones our culture uses. But other cultures separate them out in different ways, like caring more about brightness than hue. Some cultures don't even have a concept of color, or might group colors differently than us - like grouping some colors as "like ripe fruit", which may seem just as out of place to us as us grouping green and tan in a category called "camo" would seem out of place to them.

Social media is how we interact with people online. It's also increasingly becoming how we discover and discuss news and ideas. It's incredibly important, but flawed. A lot of pages in this digital garden criticize and attempt to solve these flaws.

Traditional social media is centralized, meaning you have to trust the central authority to be acting in your best interests. It also means you likely won't have control over the moderation rules, sorting methods, filters, or other aspects of the platform. Traditional social media is also overrun by entities trying to accumulate wealth in the "attention economy", meaning feeds are littered with influencers, advertisers, and scams. It's not a safe place to be and its not conducive to health conversations.

Federated Social Media is partially Decentralized, and includes services like Mastodon or Lemmy. These require self hosting, leading to it being a federation of smaller centralized authorities. Most people still won't have control over the platform, but may find a platform that's more tolerable to them. However, the process of doing so greatly increases the barrier of entry into the network, and stifles their adoption.

I personally advocate for a full decentralized social media, as described in Fedi v2. It should give full agency to the individual, and perhaps even introduce the concept of Digital Locality.

Traditional social media

  • Not Decentralized
    • Can't choose your own rules, sorting methods, data queries, etc.
  • Overrun by scams and ads and influencers

Federated Social Media

  • Partially Decentralized
    • Self hosting is too hard for everyone to do
    • Still subject to instance's moderation, limitations, etc.
  • Users need to pick an instance, associating their identity with one specific group
    • People belong to many groups
    • The person is permanently associated with that one group
    • You have to pick before getting a "trial period" to ensure you actually like that group/instance

The small web (also known as the indie web, personal web, the web revival movement, and other terms) refers to small, personal, independent websites. It is seen as a direct alternative to the centralized and homogenized websites like X, Meta, and TikTok. My Personal Website is part of the small web!

Motivation behind the small web ​

The modern web is bad ​

The small web is, at its roots, a direct response to the issues with the modern web:

The modern web is dominated by a handful of large websites, sometimes referred to as the "corporate web". These websites limit personalization, how you can use the website, and are filled with ads, marketers, and influencers.

The corporate web is designed for consuming content created by a few large/popular creators. This manifests in the near-ubiquitous infinitely scrolling feed of algorithmically chosen posts, optimized to keep you on the site for as long as possible, to the detriment of society.

Websites this large are expensive and, due to Capitalism, must forever be making more money than before - which means if they're not growing users, they must grow how much money they're making per user. This process typically means corporate websites become worse for their users over time, and was coined as Enshittification by Cory Doctorow.

The old web was good ​

In contrast to the above, the classic web was filled with many diverse sites that typically represented a single person or organization, who were able to fully tailor their site to what they wanted it to be. Websites would be more unique and interesting, since the creator would have full control over them. This also makes the whole web feel more personal and intimate, as you're looking at a closer representation of how someone chooses to portray themselves online, in a way a profile page on X or Meta cannot be.

There are still lessons we've learned over time that can apply to modern "small web" pages, like accessible design and how to be more inclusive.

The small web is anti-corporate ​

Small static websites are very cheap to host, making anti-features like ads unnecessary and therefore rare. In general small websites are cheap enough to avoid needing to think about monetization entirely, let alone worrying about how to perpetually make more money. This lack of profit motive behind most small websites contributes to a culture of not just being "not corporate", but "anti-corporate".

In general, the corporate web seems to have values that align with those of authoritarianism - control, surveillance, and hierarchy, whereas the small web aligns with anarchist values - autonomy, cooperation, and egalitarianism.

Further reading ​

These are videos and articles that continue expanding on the values and motivations behind the small web as an alternative to the corporate web:

Browsing the small web ​

Follow Webrings or other links from known small websites.

Marginalia is a search engine for non-commercial content with a "random" button and filters for the small web explicitly (amongst other useful filters!)

The Tildeverse contains a large set of personal websites.

  • Pick one of the member sites, and they'll have a list of all their users, who each have a custom page. Some may also list most recently updated pages, which is a good way of filtering out default pages.
  • You may also consider joining one of these communities. They're effectively shared Linux computers, with a focus on small tight knit communities as an alternative to social media. Great if you're interested in learning Linux and command line utilities!

Building personal websites ​

IndieWeb contains various information and resources on building personal websites that use open standards to better interact with readers and other sites consistently. Check out IndieWebify Me to get assistance implementing their standards.

Free hosting for static websites:

Other resources:

Streams ​

Microsub is a proposed protocol to support hosting streams of content on personal websites in a way they can be consistently ingested by microsub clients. This way, people could subscribe to multiple streams on independent websites and get them in one feed. Through this, the indie web becomes a Federated Social Media.

Streams also allow your personal website to be the one source of truth for your posted content, in a concept called POSSE - Publish (on your) Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere (other social media sites). This would effectively solve the problems described in Hey Creators, Please Make Firehoses!

Multiple streams can be hosted by one site/person so people can subscribe to the kind of content they're interested in.

Digital Gardens ​

These sites may be useful to occasionally check up on rather than get notifications from on every post/change

  • Although Garden-RSS could allow those who want to receive notifications to do so

The future ​

Sports are meant to be competitions with winners and losers, which means intrinsically that one has to be better than the other. But we've determined certain advantages as "fair" ones and others as not, without fully acknowledging how fairness is just a Social Construct.

When Michael Phelps won gold medal after gold medal, no one complained that his naturally webbed feet were an "unfair" advantage, or put him in a separate league like we do for Gender. But when Caster Semenya, a cis woman with naturally higher levels of testosterone than other women, wanted to compete in track and field internationally she was told she'd need to take testosterone reducing medicine (until she years later won the case in Europe's human rights court, with caveats). If you have ADHD you're allowed to take performance enhancing drugs, but otherwise not. Coffee and protein could clearly be classified as performance enhancing drugs but for the fact we've socially defined PED as narrowly avoiding those substances. These are arbitrary rules that only seem fair to some people, because there is no objective fairness. So when trans athletes are attacked both when they compete with those of their assigned gender at birth as well as when they compete with those of their preferred gender, it's clear the motivation behind it all is not really about fairness in sports, but about making trans people go away. And yet, trans athletes tend to be an issue where even many socially leftist voices will discuss how "complicated" this issue is and even spread the idea that anti-trans policies are required in order to preserve fairness, such as The Young Turks as described in Why I Left TYT.

Being trans should not mean you are banned from competing or relegated to a division for just trans people. The argument is usually that trans individuals are either currently receiving or used to receive larger amounts of testosterone than those they'd be competing with. But the competition isn't about who has the more testosterone. Well, the argument continues, testosterone levels may be indicative of increased muscle growth. But muscle growth also isn't what the competition is about. It can be argued to indicate performance at the actual sport/activity the competition is over, but at this point isn't it too many layers of imperfect abstractions and assumptions? The person who wins is less tied to their actual ability and who happens to come out on top on each of these specific estimations.

There are many advantages one might have in sports, but contrary to a true meritocracy, our arbitrary distinctions on allowed vs disallowed advantages exposes the biases of our society, which are often racist, sexist, and transphobic. Therefore, appeals to "fairness" are explicit endorsements of those biases, namely bigotry.

I also support idubbbz discussing his support for trans athletes in 100 percent women, coming from the context of a boxer who has ran boxing competitions.

V-ecs (pronounced "Vex") is a Vulkan-based engine I made for making highly moddable games and tools in Lua centered around the ECS design pattern and a work-stealing job system.

The engine works with "worlds", which are collections of systems and renderers. The engine comes with several worlds using systems and renderers I made, including a voxel world, an incremental game, and some test scenes. All of these include systems to render the fps as well as show a debug console by typing the grave key (`). The default world is a title screen that detects any worlds in the "worlds" folder and displays a button for each of them.

The original plans were to eventually put it on the steam workshop so people could more easily share their creations amongst each other, but I never became happy enough with the performance of the engine - the parallelization of the lua code involved a lot of overhead that severely limited performance.

Instead, I made a couple of worlds by myself - an infinite procedurally generated voxel world, a simple incremental game, and a more complex incremental game I call "Sands of Time".

The gameplay of Sands of Time was replicated in Kronos Chapter 2!

Video essayists are an interesting case study here. I love video essays, they're often entertaining and you can tell the effort and care put into them. A lot of my favorite creators are video essayists, like hbomberguy, Folding Ideas, and Philosophy Tube (and probably more - its hard to keep track of my favorites since they upload infrequently). Unfortunately, video essays have now been recognized as successful ways to make videos with high watch time which has led to an explosion of video essays, with varying levels of skill, ethics, and effort put into researching the topics.

The format of video essays makes them feel credible - being longform, speaking authoritatively, and including relevant footage all contribute to this. However, none of those actually necessitate the creator being a subject matter expert.

"Video essayists" as a concept is a bit concerning because it positions those creators on a treadmill of constantly having to be (or at least appear to be) an expert of a brand new topic. I'm skeptical of any video essayist that uploads frequently or across a very large variety of topics.

Sometimes the extra duration of the footage is less to do with it deeply diving into the subject matter, but padding and fluff that's tangential to the point of the video. This is stuff like describing the process of how the creator did online research, or the methods they used to reach out to relevant people. In addition to padding the runtime, this shifts the focus off the subject of the video and onto the creator. I found this video to exemplify both this issue and many of my qualms with video essays.

Media Analysis Video Essays ​

Some video essays are very easy to make quickly and are doing so for profit. No video essay exemplifies this more than the media analysis video essay. While this doesn't apply to all video essays over media, all too often they'll just be summarizations of popular and nostalgic media that never gets into any meaningful analysis or offering genuine insights. It's just an easy way to make a lot of content, and thus watch time.

Personally, I think these specific video essays are slop taking advantage of people who like having their intellectual ego stroked. By watching media get lightly criticized, we position ourselves above the people actually out there creating original media. These videos are for the pretentious, who likely watch far more analysis of original media than original media itself. It's reaction content for those who feel they're above reaction content. This video essay (heh) goes further into the issues with this type of video essay.

Self Reflection ​

Part of my feelings towards video essays, and indeed such strong feelings as to include it here where its tangential at best, stems from self-confidence issues. Wondering if these articles I write are any better. I criticize video essays for being critical like an ouroboros, relying on this very statement to at least prove I'm aware of the hypocrisy.

Further Reading ​

Hey, did you know there's video essays about how video essays are bad? Well of course they are, a natural extension of the "thing bad" trend exemplified in the media analysis video essays and in Youtube culture at large. Anyways, I enjoyed this video covering other criticisms of video essays on Youtube.

AAA games ​

They Clcost a lot of money to make, mostly due to the graphics arms race. The price required to make these games profitable would be much higher than the current price of AAA games.

Graphics would not justify significantly higher prices, and AAA studios know this. So instead they use the techniques to make more money without raising the base price:

Free-to-play games ​

Typically utilize MTX and ads in order to profit. Often extreme cases of designing games to compell players to spend money.

Indie developers ​

Trying to make a sustainable living as an indie developer is hard. The industry is packed with lots of competition, and drive prices people are willing to pay very low. Therefore, I don't blame indies for their monetization strategies, even if I consider them unethical or tainting the game design.

Ethical game monetization ​

Requirements:

  • Free demo
  • Paid base game
  • No MTX
  • Paid content expansions

The goal of the above is to allow players to determine if they enjoy the game without putting money down, and to ensure the game design cannot be tainted by the monetization.

AAA games ​

They Clcost a lot of money to make, mostly due to the graphics arms race. The price required to make these games profitable would be much higher than the current price of AAA games.

Graphics would not justify significantly higher prices, and AAA studios know this. So instead they use the techniques to make more money without raising the base price:

Free-to-play games ​

Typically utilize MTX and ads in order to profit. Often extreme cases of designing games to compell players to spend money.

Indie developers ​

Trying to make a sustainable living as an indie developer is hard. The industry is packed with lots of competition, and drive prices people are willing to pay very low. Therefore, I don't blame indies for their monetization strategies, even if I consider them unethical or tainting the game design.

Ethical game monetization ​

Requirements:

  • Free demo
  • Paid base game
  • No MTX
  • Paid content expansions

The goal of the above is to allow players to determine if they enjoy the game without putting money down, and to ensure the game design cannot be tainted by the monetization.

I think having the gameplay affected by transactions of any kind taints the game design. This is a particularly controversial take in the context of communal benefits (e.g. one person donates and all players get a 2x buff for an hour, or a persistent buff based on number of patrons), which are generally seen as ethical.

Developing games is fun and exciting and teaches a lot of wonderful skills - I enthusiastically encourage anyone with an interest in game development to try it out - and incremental games are a wonderful way to get started. However, there are many challenges young and inexperienced developers have to face, and I think the hardest one - harder than coding, debugging, balancing, etc. - is handling criticism. When you put your heart and soul into a game it is natural to feel very vulnerable. While I think there's a lot communities can do to ensure they're welcoming, positive and constructive with their criticisms, inevitably you will eventually read some, and potentially a lot, of comments that can deeply affect you. No one is immune to this, from young incremental game developers to the largest content creators you can think of. That's why it's important to be able to process and navigate criticism, because ultimately collecting feedback is essential to the journey to becoming a better developer. On this page, we'll explore how to embrace criticism, grow from it, and continue to post your games publicly with confidence.

Reading Feedback ​

Game development is a skill that takes time and practice to get truly great at. Criticism and other constructive feedback are vital to continually improving. It's useful to look at the criticism as solely a tool for improving this game and future games - that is to say, it should never be used against you as a person. Insults towards the developer(s) themselves are never okay and should not be allowed within whatever community you're sharing your works in. If you do come across a comment you interpret as an attack upon your person, you should report it. For other negative comments, try not to internalize them; instead, focus on improving the game. By distancing your own identity from your work emotionally, you can better analyze the game and use the feedback to your advantage.

Not all feedback is made equal, and you don't need to feel compelled to read and obey every piece of feedback you receive. Learn to distinguish between constructive feedback and unhelpful comments. Constructive feedback typically offers specific suggestions for improvement, while unhelpful comments are often vague or hurtful. Prioritize the former and disregard the latter. That said, most feedback you get will not be from game developers, so take specific suggestions with a grain of salt. Determine the actual problem they're experiencing, and design what you believe the best solution to that problem would be, regardless if that's the specific solution the player asked for. And keep in mind, due to different player preferences you'll never satisfy everyone, and you don't need to. Ultimately if even just you find the game fun, then that's a success.

Seeking Feedback ​

When deciding where to share your game, consider the type of players you anticipate getting, and the kind of feedback you can anticipate receiving. Different communities will have different levels of support for learning developers, and certain communities may prefer certain types of games or mechanics. It's important to get a diverse set of feedback focused on players you think will enjoy the specific game you're making.

Collecting feedback from other game developers is incredibly helpful. They've trained themselves to recognize good and bad game design and how to articulate the differences, and from my experience are much more likely to leave positive and constructive comments since they've been in your shoes before! They understand the struggles and can offer guidance and emotional support.

Responding to Feedback ​

Negative feedback can naturally feel like an attack, and it's okay to get angry. However, lashing back is never the appropriate response. It's best to cool off IRL, and keep in mind all the positive comments you've received. There's a concept in Psychology called negative bias that explains how negative feedback tends to stick with us much more prominently than positive feedback, so it's useful to regularly remind yourself of all the positive feedback you've received. Celebrate your successes, no matter how small they may seem - getting a game to a state you can publicly share it with people is an accomplishment in and of itself!

Remember your passion and your initial reasons for getting into game development. The journey will have its ups and downs, but staying true to your vision and passion will keep you motivated.

This is a comprehensive guide to Incremental Games, a genre of video games. It will explore defining the genre, why it's appealing, and how to design and build your own incremental game. Along the way will be interactive examples, snippets from other creators, and relevant material to contextualize everything.

Note: This is an incomplete document. I want to keep adding opinions and opposing views from other incremental games developers, and add interactive examples to illustrate various points regarding game design and balancing. Consider this a living document - and see the changelog at the end.

Why am I making this? ​

That's a good question! What authority do I have to be making this guide? I haven't made the best incremental games, nor the most incremental games, certainly not the most popular ones either. But I do have some formal education in game development, know a lot of incremental game devs (as well as other game devs), and have a passionate interest in ludology, classifying genres, etc. I've also made a couple of incremental games) myself.

There are a lot of developers in the incremental games community - the genre seems to draw them in, and convert a lot of players into developers. Let's explore the reasons why this genre appeals to developers.

Incrementals are Easy to Make ​

Compared to other genres, incrementals have quite low expectations. You don't need to make fancy art, or music, or lay things out nicely. If you can make a button and learn the few lines of code necessary to make a number go up, you can make an incremental. This low threshold makes the genre perfect for those who are actively learning to code and haven't developed any gamedev-related skills yet.

Additionally, unlike other genres incrementals are uniquely easy to implement in a normal web page - no need to worry about rendering sprites, moving them around, implementing physics, etc. New developers can just use HTML to add a button, and the game is now available in your browser. You don't need to choose an engine, have admin privileges, or hell for the dedicated you don't even need a computer - there are tools for web development that run in the browser itself, so you can technically use your phone if that's all you have.

Javascript is a perfectly viable language for making web games, whereas other genres are typically going to require using other more difficult languages to learn. There are countless javascript tutorials that start from 0 knowledge of programming, making it incredibly accessible to beginners.

Players are Easy to Find ​

Once you've finished your game and uploaded it on github pages or itch or just copied the link if you're using glitch or replit (all of which are easy to do), anyone can now play the game in their browser. This low barrier to entry has shown tremendous success in getting completely unknown developers to have thousands of plays.

The incremental games community, which mostly centers around r/incremental_games, is always looking for new games and tends to flood any new ones posted with initial players.

Having your games be played can be incredibly motivating, and the community makes it quite clear that you can expect players to play your game. These communities - both for incremental games in general as well as game-specific communities - tend to be very developer friendly as well. A lot of the developers know each other, and welcome new developers with open arms, often with dedicated channels for programming help and discussions.

Monetization ​

I'd like to clarify that everything I've said above mainly applies to web-based incrementals. Incremental games are also incredibly popular on mobile, but with a much different culture and community. Many mobile gamers will still participate in the web-focused community for the culture. This web-focused community has a culture that has been criticized for being "anti-monetization". Ads, IAPs, and similar forms of monetization are often criticized, mainly due to the abundance of completely non-monetized games available from hobbyist developers. There are exceptions, like paid games often being considered fine, like Increlution or Stuck in Time, or donation ware games like kittens game, but even popular games that have IAP see some level of regular criticism, like NGU Idle, Idle Skilling, or Idle Pins. A large part of this can be explained by the community being hyper-aware of the addictive) nature of this genre and its susceptibility to exploiting players.

On mobile, however, monetization is the norm and expected. If an incremental game is available on mobile, it almost certainly will be monetized, and mobile players are aware and accepting of that. Mobile incremental games, due to their addictive nature, tend to make a lot of money. It's very lucrative, and therefore these games are quite abundant on mobile storefronts.

There are a lot of developers in the incremental games community - the genre seems to draw them in, and convert a lot of players into developers. Let's explore the reasons why this genre appeals to developers.

Incrementals are Easy to Make ​

Compared to other genres, incrementals have quite low expectations. You don't need to make fancy art, or music, or lay things out nicely. If you can make a button and learn the few lines of code necessary to make a number go up, you can make an incremental. This low threshold makes the genre perfect for those who are actively learning to code and haven't developed any gamedev-related skills yet.

Additionally, unlike other genres incrementals are uniquely easy to implement in a normal web page - no need to worry about rendering sprites, moving them around, implementing physics, etc. New developers can just use HTML to add a button, and the game is now available in your browser. You don't need to choose an engine, have admin privileges, or hell for the dedicated you don't even need a computer - there are tools for web development that run in the browser itself, so you can technically use your phone if that's all you have.

Javascript is a perfectly viable language for making web games, whereas other genres are typically going to require using other more difficult languages to learn. There are countless javascript tutorials that start from 0 knowledge of programming, making it incredibly accessible to beginners.

Players are Easy to Find ​

Once you've finished your game and uploaded it on github pages or itch or just copied the link if you're using glitch or replit (all of which are easy to do), anyone can now play the game in their browser. This low barrier to entry has shown tremendous success in getting completely unknown developers to have thousands of plays.

The incremental games community, which mostly centers around r/incremental_games, is always looking for new games and tends to flood any new ones posted with initial players.

Having your games be played can be incredibly motivating, and the community makes it quite clear that you can expect players to play your game. These communities - both for incremental games in general as well as game-specific communities - tend to be very developer friendly as well. A lot of the developers know each other, and welcome new developers with open arms, often with dedicated channels for programming help and discussions.

Monetization ​

I'd like to clarify that everything I've said above mainly applies to web-based incrementals. Incremental games are also incredibly popular on mobile, but with a much different culture and community. Many mobile gamers will still participate in the web-focused community for the culture. This web-focused community has a culture that has been criticized for being "anti-monetization". Ads, IAPs, and similar forms of monetization are often criticized, mainly due to the abundance of completely non-monetized games available from hobbyist developers. There are exceptions, like paid games often being considered fine, like Increlution or Stuck in Time, or donation ware games like kittens game, but even popular games that have IAP see some level of regular criticism, like NGU Idle, Idle Skilling, or Idle Pins. A large part of this can be explained by the community being hyper-aware of the addictive) nature of this genre and its susceptibility to exploiting players.

On mobile, however, monetization is the norm and expected. If an incremental game is available on mobile, it almost certainly will be monetized, and mobile players are aware and accepting of that. Mobile incremental games, due to their addictive nature, tend to make a lot of money. It's very lucrative, and therefore these games are quite abundant on mobile storefronts.

This is something that has been discussed and analyzed by many people, and to some extent, I feel like everything that can be said on the topic already has. However, a lot of these analyses are from the perspective of those with not as much experience and involvement within the genre as I'd argue would be necessary for a fully contextualized answer. I'm interested in ludology and part of that includes interpreting games as art, and to that end what constitutes a game, let alone a "good game". Incremental games are oft criticized, unfairly in my biased opinion, of not even constituting games, such as was posited by this polygon article.

Numbers Going Up ​

This is a very common response to why people enjoy incremental games, although it's not one I find compels me personally, and I suspect it might be a stand-in for progression) or Guide to Incrementals/What is Content?. But reportedly, some people do just like seeing big numbers. I must reiterate I suspect the actual cause is seeing big numbers in context though - if you start at 1e1000 of a currency and get to 1e1001, that isn't going to feel as satisfying as going from 1e10 to 1e100, and in any case, I don't think a button that just adds a zero to your number will feel quite satisfying - I believe its the sense of having made progress, and comparing where you are to where you started and feeling like you've earned your way here that is enjoyable.

Progression

I think a strong sense of progression is seen as very enjoyable to many players of all sorts of genres - engine builder board games, RPGs, rogue_lites_, etc. Incremental games tend to have an extremely exaggerated sense of progression, which makes them very appealing.

Meta-progression is when games have some sort of progression that persists when other progress gets lost - for example, upgrades that persist between runs of a roguelite game. These are common mechanics in incremental games - in fact, its not uncommon to have multiple of these reset mechanics nested on top of each other, each with their own meta-progression. These are satisfying to players, although they can be a bit controversial. These mechanics can often be seen as an optional crutch, and in roguelite games, players often challenge themselves to win without any meta progression. Essentially these challenges argue that meta-progression de-emphasizes player skill by replacing it with time served. Incremental games, through their exaggerated progression, eschew that possibility though - they make it impossible to beat without the meta progression systems, as the meta-progression becomes an entire chapter of the gameplay. I'd argue this does not detract from the game, however, and is actually a part of what makes incremental games, and roguelikes, enjoyable to many players: meta-progression augments the increases in skill the player is naturally gaining as they play. In effect, it's not replacing the skill increase, but exaggerating it to make it feel more real to the player.

Effortlessness ​

Incremental games are so easy, a lot of them even have you progress while you're not playing! Part of the appeal is being able to feel like you're making progress while doing something actually productive - multitasking, in a way. In this sense, the game is more of a fidget toy - not something to think hard about and play actively, but something to click a few buttons every so often while you're paying attention to a lecture or studying or working. Of course, not all incremental games lend themselves to being played this way - it's specifically "idle" games that work like this. These are games that take an incredibly long amount of time to see all the content, stretching it as thin as possible, but they aren't expecting you to be sitting at your device playing it the entire time. They expect you to leave and come back later to make a bit of progress and repeat the cycle.

If you look at the higher-level play of most games, you'll see them perform difficult feats with ease and speed. They'll achieve a "flow state" that takes all their knowledge and experience of the game and uses it to play the game as instinctively as possible. It's incredible to watch things like Slay the Spire speed runs or competitive DDR-likes. I'd argue the goal of a lot of games with a competitive scene is to get so good that the game becomes effortless. In that sense, a game that allows you to reach that point earlier isn't any less legitimate, but rather lowers the barrier to entry by allowing more people to get "really good" at the game. And to be clear, (most) incremental games aren't trivially easy - they, and to an extent, every game will have some level of learning and improvement over time.

Addiction

A lot of these reasons for why incremental games appeal may have reminded you of why gambling appeals to people, particularly those prone to addiction. Indeed, incremental games are quite often criticized for their similarity to a skinner box. Some have gone as far as to say incremental games as a genre are commenting that all games are skinner boxes). The argument goes that some games are not fun, but rather condition players into continuing to play without actually getting anything from the experience. When tied to real-world money this is seen as predatory, and to a lesser extent, even free games may be feeding the addictive sides of people and making them more prone to seek out gambling or micro-transaction heavy games.

While incremental games can be fun and even healthy in certain contexts, they can exacerbate video game addiction more than other genres. If you feel like playing incremental games is taking priority over other things in your life, or manipulating your sleep schedule, it may be prudent to seek help. See r/StopGaming for resources.

Since incremental games are often built on extrinsic motivations in the form of progression systems, it's hard to argue whether players continue to play because they are enjoying the gameplay, or if they are just conditioned to keep doing it because the game keeps rewarding them. Unfortunately, it can often feel like it's the latter, as there isn't typically anything compelling about the "gameplay" of clicking a button and waiting. There may be a significant overlap between those who enjoy incremental games and those who are most prone to addiction, and there are often posts on r/incremental_games about someone either struggling with or overcoming video game addiction.

Strategy ​

Incremental games could be considered a subset of strategy games), and inherit the appeals of strategy games. This includes the appeal of feeling like you've found a good solution to a puzzle, or that you're learning more about the game and are improving at making decisions within it.

Note that strategy games are not all the same difficulty, as well. Cookie Clicker is probably easier than Starcraft 2 (although late game may beg to differ). Plenty of incremental games can be used as evidence that "easier" strategies may have their separate appeal to harder strategy games - players like to feel smart and that they figured the game out and have optimized or mastered it, and the game being easier doesn't detract from that sense of accomplishment as much as it allows more and more users to be able to reach the point where they gain that sense.

Avoiding Staleness ​

Incremental games tend to have "paradigm shifts", where the gameplay changes in a meaningful way at various times throughout the progression of the game. These upset and change the gameplay loop, which helps keep them from stagnating. This constant "freshness" to the gameplay can keep players engaged for longer, compared to a game with a repetitive and static gameplay loop.

Good Game Design ​

Incremental games tend to show their game design "plainly", so it's more readily apparent if a game has good game design while playing, even if you're not looking for it. While different players have different preferences and might enjoy different types of games more than others, there are underlying good and bad game design principles that players will notice the effects of. To be clear, this isn't talking about stuff like big numbers being enjoyable, where I can comfortably agree to disagree with other players. They don't intrinsically make my experience better, but I'm aware of those for whom it does and I won't argue against their feelings. However, the game designer in me does feel like there are some extremely clear-cut examples of good and bad game design philosophies.

Let's start by giving an example of a mechanic I think can be easily and strongly argued is good game design. There are of course many examples, but a personal favorite of mine is how DOOM encourages aggressive gameplay by linking health drops to melee attacks. It has an intended experience it's trying to give the player - immersing themselves as DOOM guy, who would not hide behind cover when low on health - and this mechanic does a great job at encouraging and effectively teaching players to behave properly. This is in sharp contrast to shooters like Call of Duty, which have you regen health passively, encouraging players to hide behind cover and wait after getting hit. Note that I'm not arguing CoD is poorly designed, as the games have different intended experiences. I'm specifically praising DOOM for having a mechanic that does a good job at ensuring the player has that intended experience.

To contrast with an example I think is bad game design, let's talk about shields in souls-likes. This is a bit of a famous example, and I highly recommend this video essay which spends quite a good bit of time on this topic. Essentially, the argument boils down to players of earlier games in the souls games using shields too much - playing slowly, conservatively, and ultimately having less fun. Players wanted to feel safe, so they ended up playing in a way that ruined the experience for them. The developers solved this by removing shields, apart from an intentionally bad one effectively mocking the playstyle, and it did its job at getting players to play more aggressively, and often have more fun.

To bring the conversation back to incrementals, I'm incredibly opinionated on what makes a good incremental game, which I'll discuss in the game design section. Suffice it to say, incremental games rely more on good game design than other genres, due to not having much to distract from bad game design. This helps (although imperfectly - gamers are a bit too tolerant of bad game design!) well-designed games rise to the top within the genre.

Artistic Merit ​

The discussion of whether video games are art has resulted in a pretty universal "yes, they are", but with some games the argument may still crop up. The reason why Incremental games are sometimes questioned is due to their perceived lack of complexity. However, even setting aside the fact that if players are having fun then it's not time wasted, I think games can have artistic merit that supersedes the necessity of having (any / engaging / "deep") gameplay. Incremental games are no less legitimate of a game or the "art" label because of any lack perceived lack of depth. For what it's worth, most art can be consumed with more ease than any video game - any painting, movie, sculpture, etc.

A lot of incrementals have a narrative context that can similarly qualify them as art. Cookie Clicker is, as has been pointed out numerous times before, commenting on excess and increasing production beyond any reasonable limits - devolving into increasing production for its own sake. Indeed, a lot of incremental games are written to comment upon various concepts like capitalism or tropes in games, as discussed when defining Incrementals). However, I'd like to argue most incremental games are still art, even without any narrative context. "Art" as a concept is pretty nebulous already, but I personally like those who define it as an act of expression more than any physical result. The creator and the context within which they created the art, and any meaning they put into it, are all relevant and a part of the art itself. Most incremental games have artistic merit from things like why the creator made it, why they chose to make it an incremental game, and why they made any particular design decision. Hell, even if you play through an entire incremental game without a single thought or feeling, that very fact it elicited nothing can itself be artistic merit!

I'm not an art major, and I may be taking a somewhat extreme take on what is art and what has artistic merit, but I'd argue the overall point stands that games, and incremental games specifically, can have artistic merit, which appeals to many gamers.

If you feel like playing incremental games is taking priority over other things in your life, or manipulating your sleep schedule, it may be prudent to seek help. See r/StopGaming for resources.

Since incremental games are often built on extrinsic motivations in the form of progression systems, it's hard to argue whether players continue to play because they are enjoying the gameplay, or if they are just conditioned to keep doing it because the game keeps rewarding them. Unfortunately, it can often feel like it's the latter, as there isn't typically anything compelling about the "gameplay" of clicking a button and waiting. There may be a significant overlap between those who enjoy incremental games and those who are most prone to addiction, and there are often posts on r/incremental_games about someone either struggling with or overcoming video game addiction.

Strategy ​

Incremental games could be considered a subset of strategy games), and inherit the appeals of strategy games. This includes the appeal of feeling like you've found a good solution to a puzzle, or that you're learning more about the game and are improving at making decisions within it.

Note that strategy games are not all the same difficulty, as well. Cookie Clicker is probably easier than Starcraft 2 (although late game may beg to differ). Plenty of incremental games can be used as evidence that "easier" strategies may have their separate appeal to harder strategy games - players like to feel smart and that they figured the game out and have optimized or mastered it, and the game being easier doesn't detract from that sense of accomplishment as much as it allows more and more users to be able to reach the point where they gain that sense.

Avoiding Staleness ​

Incremental games tend to have "paradigm shifts", where the gameplay changes in a meaningful way at various times throughout the progression of the game. These upset and change the gameplay loop, which helps keep them from stagnating. This constant "freshness" to the gameplay can keep players engaged for longer, compared to a game with a repetitive and static gameplay loop.

Good Game Design ​

Incremental games tend to show their game design "plainly", so it's more readily apparent if a game has good game design while playing, even if you're not looking for it. While different players have different preferences and might enjoy different types of games more than others, there are underlying good and bad game design principles that players will notice the effects of. To be clear, this isn't talking about stuff like big numbers being enjoyable, where I can comfortably agree to disagree with other players. They don't intrinsically make my experience better, but I'm aware of those for whom it does and I won't argue against their feelings. However, the game designer in me does feel like there are some extremely clear-cut examples of good and bad game design philosophies.

Let's start by giving an example of a mechanic I think can be easily and strongly argued is good game design. There are of course many examples, but a personal favorite of mine is how DOOM encourages aggressive gameplay by linking health drops to melee attacks. It has an intended experience it's trying to give the player - immersing themselves as DOOM guy, who would not hide behind cover when low on health - and this mechanic does a great job at encouraging and effectively teaching players to behave properly. This is in sharp contrast to shooters like Call of Duty, which have you regen health passively, encouraging players to hide behind cover and wait after getting hit. Note that I'm not arguing CoD is poorly designed, as the games have different intended experiences. I'm specifically praising DOOM for having a mechanic that does a good job at ensuring the player has that intended experience.

To contrast with an example I think is bad game design, let's talk about shields in souls-likes. This is a bit of a famous example, and I highly recommend this video essay which spends quite a good bit of time on this topic. Essentially, the argument boils down to players of earlier games in the souls games using shields too much - playing slowly, conservatively, and ultimately having less fun. Players wanted to feel safe, so they ended up playing in a way that ruined the experience for them. The developers solved this by removing shields, apart from an intentionally bad one effectively mocking the playstyle, and it did its job at getting players to play more aggressively, and often have more fun.

To bring the conversation back to incrementals, I'm incredibly opinionated on what makes a good incremental game, which I'll discuss in the game design section. Suffice it to say, incremental games rely more on good game design than other genres, due to not having much to distract from bad game design. This helps (although imperfectly - gamers are a bit too tolerant of bad game design!) well-designed games rise to the top within the genre.

Artistic Merit ​

The discussion of whether video games are art has resulted in a pretty universal "yes, they are", but with some games the argument may still crop up. The reason why Incremental games are sometimes questioned is due to their perceived lack of complexity. However, even setting aside the fact that if players are having fun then it's not time wasted, I think games can have artistic merit that supersedes the necessity of having (any / engaging / "deep") gameplay. Incremental games are no less legitimate of a game or the "art" label because of any lack perceived lack of depth. For what it's worth, most art can be consumed with more ease than any video game - any painting, movie, sculpture, etc.

A lot of incrementals have a narrative context that can similarly qualify them as art. Cookie Clicker is, as has been pointed out numerous times before, commenting on excess and increasing production beyond any reasonable limits - devolving into increasing production for its own sake. Indeed, a lot of incremental games are written to comment upon various concepts like capitalism or tropes in games, as discussed when defining Incrementals). However, I'd like to argue most incremental games are still art, even without any narrative context. "Art" as a concept is pretty nebulous already, but I personally like those who define it as an act of expression more than any physical result. The creator and the context within which they created the art, and any meaning they put into it, are all relevant and a part of the art itself. Most incremental games have artistic merit from things like why the creator made it, why they chose to make it an incremental game, and why they made any particular design decision. Hell, even if you play through an entire incremental game without a single thought or feeling, that very fact it elicited nothing can itself be artistic merit!

I'm not an art major, and I may be taking a somewhat extreme take on what is art and what has artistic merit, but I'd argue the overall point stands that games, and incremental games specifically, can have artistic merit, which appeals to many gamers.

If you've been in the incremental games community for any amount of time, you'll quickly find the number one thing players want is content. They want as much of it as possible! The most popular incremental games have tons of content, so they just keep stretching on and on and on, introducing mechanic after mechanic, and players love it. In fact, players seem to value the amount of content over the quality of any specific content. However, there's a bit of a lack of understanding concerning what content is, and I'd like to explore what counts as content, and how we measure it. As a baseline definition, I think "content" can just be described as the parts of the game that engage the player, but to truly understand it we need to contextualize what that means and how it affects the gameplay experience.

To clarify the purpose of this page, my goal is not to get (too) nitpicky or to attack games with "low content". There's nothing wrong with short / low-content games - I'm quite a big fan of those games myself! This is mostly targeted toward those who ask for content and settle for "long" games, and those who want to provide content but want to make sure they're not just artificially inflating the game. Ultimately, I suppose the goal is to just reduce the amount of artificially inflated content for the sake of having a "longer" game.

Interaction ​

I think it should be a fairly non-controversial opinion that time spent solely waiting should not count towards content. That is not including the time reading various effects or making decisions in your head, but rather time spent waiting for a condition to be met so you can re-engage with the game.

That is not to say games should necessarily try to minimize this time. Plenty of games lead towards more infrequent interaction and still get popular. In fact, these games appeal to many gamers who want to have something to check up on in between bursts of working on some other activity. These games seem to have fallen slightly out of fashion amongst modern incremental games, but they're still fully valid. The point I'm trying to make here is just that this time is not content. As an extreme example, a game with no interactions and just a counter that goes up every second could safely be said to have 0 content beyond the time it takes to understand what's going on. If it has a list of "goals" to hit, then the time understanding those goals and a short time after achieving each one could be considered content, but not the idle times in between.

Let's take a look at the opposite end of the spectrum - interaction that is so frequent as to become mindless. This is any mechanic where you need to spam-click something to progress. This may be a more controversial take, but I do not believe this constitutes content either. It does not engage the player, because each consecutive click blends together and they do not individually change the gameplay experience. That is to say, a single click and 100 clicks are not meaningfully different in terms of engaging the player. I'd go as far as to say clicking 100 times would be actively worse, as it's artificially delaying the next piece of actual content, alongside the issues of accessibility and potentially causing RSI.

Repeatable Purchases ​

Imagine an entity in a game that you can purchase multiple times, each time it performs the same thing but for a higher cost. These are incredibly common, from the buildings in cookie clicker to the units in swarm sim to the IP and EP multipliers in antimatter dimensions. However, how much content is each specific purchase? Is it content beyond the first purchase? Does it have diminishing returns? What if you are oscillating between two different repeatable purchases? How much content is lost when you automate) away a repeatable purchase?

I don't want to take too harsh a stance against repeatable purchases. They're useful tools and can be used in a myriad of interesting ways. I feel they do become "stale" or less meaningful content over time, and this happens exponentially quickly the more frequently it can be purchased. A classic example that I believe goes too far is the IP/EP multipliers in Antimatter Dimensions. I would go as far as to say they are a chore and do not provide any meaningful content after you've bought them a couple of times. It's a method for inflating numbers (effectively making every OOM a 5x step instead of 10x), that punishes the player progression-wise whenever they forget to max it again, and eventually gets automated away as a reward to the player for making enough progress.

Just to voice the other side of this argument, Acamaeda defended the IP multiplier as giving the player a "good" upgrade every OOM. I can understand that to a point and need to clarify I'm mainly criticizing IP/EP multipliers after they've been introduced for a while. In fact, I would defend the multipliers for a short while after they're introduced using the same logic I would use to defend normal dimensions as repeatable purchases, at least pre-infinity. There's "content" to be had in looking at what dimensions will become affordable next, and then choosing which to buy amongst those. The IP/EP multipliers, early into infinity or eternity respectively, provide another option that gets put into that mental queue of things to buy with each OOM reached - although the optimal order is often quite trivial and not particularly engaging.

The IP/EP multipliers are not the only repeatable purchase in antimatter dimensions I take offense to. The time dimensions are also a series of repeatable purchases, that are all so similar and static that it doesn't take long before you never need to put any thought into buying them, how much you're buying at once, or the order you buy them in - you just press max all and move on. The entire tab could've been just the max all button and it would not have made a difference beyond the start of the eternity layer. The normal dimensions technically have this problem as well, but since you're constantly getting antimatter the order feels like it has a larger impact and it's more meaningful content, right up until they're automated away. Infinity dimensions are a compromise between the two, so I'm highlighting time dimensions here as the most egregious.

Following Instructions ​

We're getting more and more controversial as we go along! Let's talk about how linear content is not content now (in some circumstances). A trend in incremental games is adding difficulty by adding a web of effects that abstract the true change you can expect from any specific purchase or decision you make. If a game is both linear and sufficiently abstracts the effect of player decisions, then the player will no longer be engaging with the content - they'll simply be clicking on things as they become available. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, as plenty of players don't mind this style of gameplay, but I'd argue once you reach a point where players don't bother reading the effects, those interactions are no longer truly content. Note that unlike the previous qualifiers mentioned, this qualifier is based on the player, and therefore subjective. In effect, it's a spectrum where the more complicated the web of effects becomes, the more likely it is to disengage the player.

This over-complicatedness leading to disengaging the player can also happen from non-linear gameplay. If the web of effects becomes sufficiently complicated and finding the optimal progression route too time-consuming to discover, players will seek out guides from other players who've completed the game. The second they do this, the game effectively becomes linearly following the instructions of the guide and all the above criticisms apply. Similarly to as before, though, this is a spectrum and not everyone will seek out a guide at the same level of difficulty.

Automation

Automation is a staple of the genre, but it has certain implications for the design of the game. Why, when new content is introduced, must the older content be automated away - why is it a chore and it feels rewarding to not have to do it again? Why does the new mechanic have such appeal if we know it too will just be automated away later on, and we'll be happy when that happens? It honestly begs the question of why this framework of introducing content and automating the old content is even enjoyable - and nearly nonexistent in other genres. You're not going to reach a point in a platformer game where they just automate the jumping part - that's the core mechanic! Instead, platformers either add new mechanics that build on the core mechanic or at least re-contextualize the core mechanic. However, in incremental games new content very frequently means replacing older content, as opposed to augmenting it.

Admittedly, the above paragraph ignores the obvious answer that separates incremental games in this regard. These mechanics become chores as their frequency increases. The frequency increases to give a sense of progression, and automation is seen as a reward because it now manages what was becoming unmanageable. The new content then comes in and continues the loop to give a stronger sense of progression. That's all good and a fine justification for automating content instead of building upon the base mechanic. It's also much easier to design, as each layer essentially lets you start over instead of needing to think of ideas that conform to the original core mechanic.

So, what's the problem? Even if this trend is justified and easy to implement, there are some other effects it has on the game design. First off, and this is probably a neutral point, incremental games with this cycle of replacing old mechanics with new ones trend towards more and more abstract and further away from any narrative throughline as they add layers. There are only so many justifications for resetting progress, so if a game wants to have several of these layers they're inevitably going to become generic or increasingly loosely associated with the original content. It's most unfortunate, in my opinion when an interesting or innovative core mechanic gets fully automated once a generic "prestige" layer is unlocked.

A recent example is Really Grass Cutting Incremental, an incremental game about cutting grass (although I'm really criticizing the Roblox game it's based on). Except, it doesn't continue to be about cutting grass. After you buy enough upgrades to increase your grass cutting and level up sufficiently you "prestige", an abstract term that in this case means you reset all your progress to get some currency to buy upgrades that do the same things as the original upgrades, but these won't reset on future prestiges. You'll eventually be able to "crystallize", which means you reset all your progress to get some currency to buy upgrades that do the same things as the original upgrades (and a couple of new ones) and won't reset on future crystallizes. Fine. You'll progress a bit, complete some challenges, and finally get to... grasshop? Grasshopping is this mechanic where you reset all your progress to get some resource that isn't for buying upgrades - this time you just unlock different modifiers on everything based on their amount. You may have gotten the point by now, but there are also "steelie" resets which give you steel for some reason, before unlocking a factory with various machines - none of which are directly tied to cutting grass, and start gathering things like oil and reset for rocket parts and reset to go to space and so on and so on. Throughout all of this there is absolutely no narrative justification or throughline for the direction the game is going, or why cutting grass is still relevant when we're collecting things like rocket parts. I may be going a little hard on GCI, but it is far from alone.

Ending the Game ​

Incremental games do not often have a planned out narrative or ending,, such that each content update is approached as its own unit of narrative and gameplay. This prevents content updates from wrapping up the game nicely - it always has to leave something open for another content layer; be it another mechanic, reset layer, etc. This cycle will continue until the updates just stop, at which point the game will just have an unsatisfying conclusion that will never get the next thing it was supposed to be leading into. This reminds me of a Leonardo Da Vinci quote about how Art is Never Complete:

Art is never finished, only abandoned. - Leonardo Da Vinci

For what its worth, there are exceptions here (including several of My Projects). I believe this practice is actually fairly reasonable, considering how many incremental game developers are learning game design and programming - keeping the scope small and expanding if it still interests you is a great way to keep learning without letting things like perfectionism or sunk cost fallacies get in the way.

Tips for Developers ​

If you're a developer, by this point you should have a pretty decent idea of how to create "true" content in your game. Here are some other specific tips I'd suggest:

An upgrade that simply unlocks another upgrade trivially isn't content. However, many games have an upgrade that just unlocks a feature, which then has a wait or other requirements before it can be used. Try to make sure when you unlock a feature, there is immediately something to do with the feature - for example, perhaps give them a small amount of the new currency it unlocks, if applicable.

If you don't have a large web of effects, and can definitively say the impact of a purchase is to multiply the gain of the cost currency by N, and the next purchase costs N times the amount of that same currency, then this purchase effectively made no difference and it may have made more sense to just go directly to the next upgrade. That said, having effects based on things like the number of purchases made will quickly invalidate this tip.

Automation is a staple of the genre, but it has certain implications for the design of the game. Why, when new content is introduced, must the older content be automated away - why is it a chore and it feels rewarding to not have to do it again? Why does the new mechanic have such appeal if we know it too will just be automated away later on, and we'll be happy when that happens? It honestly begs the question of why this framework of introducing content and automating the old content is even enjoyable - and nearly nonexistent in other genres. You're not going to reach a point in a platformer game where they just automate the jumping part - that's the core mechanic! Instead, platformers either add new mechanics that build on the core mechanic or at least re-contextualize the core mechanic. However, in incremental games new content very frequently means replacing older content, as opposed to augmenting it.

Admittedly, the above paragraph ignores the obvious answer that separates incremental games in this regard. These mechanics become chores as their frequency increases. The frequency increases to give a sense of progression, and automation is seen as a reward because it now manages what was becoming unmanageable. The new content then comes in and continues the loop to give a stronger sense of progression. That's all good and a fine justification for automating content instead of building upon the base mechanic. It's also much easier to design, as each layer essentially lets you start over instead of needing to think of ideas that conform to the original core mechanic.

So, what's the problem? Even if this trend is justified and easy to implement, there are some other effects it has on the game design. First off, and this is probably a neutral point, incremental games with this cycle of replacing old mechanics with new ones trend towards more and more abstract and further away from any narrative throughline as they add layers. There are only so many justifications for resetting progress, so if a game wants to have several of these layers they're inevitably going to become generic or increasingly loosely associated with the original content. It's most unfortunate, in my opinion when an interesting or innovative core mechanic gets fully automated once a generic "prestige" layer is unlocked.

A recent example is Really Grass Cutting Incremental, an incremental game about cutting grass (although I'm really criticizing the Roblox game it's based on). Except, it doesn't continue to be about cutting grass. After you buy enough upgrades to increase your grass cutting and level up sufficiently you "prestige", an abstract term that in this case means you reset all your progress to get some currency to buy upgrades that do the same things as the original upgrades, but these won't reset on future prestiges. You'll eventually be able to "crystallize", which means you reset all your progress to get some currency to buy upgrades that do the same things as the original upgrades (and a couple of new ones) and won't reset on future crystallizes. Fine. You'll progress a bit, complete some challenges, and finally get to... grasshop? Grasshopping is this mechanic where you reset all your progress to get some resource that isn't for buying upgrades - this time you just unlock different modifiers on everything based on their amount. You may have gotten the point by now, but there are also "steelie" resets which give you steel for some reason, before unlocking a factory with various machines - none of which are directly tied to cutting grass, and start gathering things like oil and reset for rocket parts and reset to go to space and so on and so on. Throughout all of this there is absolutely no narrative justification or throughline for the direction the game is going, or why cutting grass is still relevant when we're collecting things like rocket parts. I may be going a little hard on GCI, but it is far from alone.

Ending the Game ​

Incremental games do not often have a planned out narrative or ending,, such that each content update is approached as its own unit of narrative and gameplay. This prevents content updates from wrapping up the game nicely - it always has to leave something open for another content layer; be it another mechanic, reset layer, etc. This cycle will continue until the updates just stop, at which point the game will just have an unsatisfying conclusion that will never get the next thing it was supposed to be leading into. This reminds me of a Leonardo Da Vinci quote about how Art is Never Complete:

Art is never finished, only abandoned. - Leonardo Da Vinci

For what its worth, there are exceptions here (including several of My Projects). I believe this practice is actually fairly reasonable, considering how many incremental game developers are learning game design and programming - keeping the scope small and expanding if it still interests you is a great way to keep learning without letting things like perfectionism or sunk cost fallacies get in the way.

Tips for Developers ​

If you're a developer, by this point you should have a pretty decent idea of how to create "true" content in your game. Here are some other specific tips I'd suggest:

An upgrade that simply unlocks another upgrade trivially isn't content. However, many games have an upgrade that just unlocks a feature, which then has a wait or other requirements before it can be used. Try to make sure when you unlock a feature, there is immediately something to do with the feature - for example, perhaps give them a small amount of the new currency it unlocks, if applicable.

If you don't have a large web of effects, and can definitively say the impact of a purchase is to multiply the gain of the cost currency by N, and the next purchase costs N times the amount of that same currency, then this purchase effectively made no difference and it may have made more sense to just go directly to the next upgrade. That said, having effects based on things like the number of purchases made will quickly invalidate this tip.

Video games are placed into genres for a variety of reasons. They can give a mental shorthand to set the player's expectations up, they can help a game market itself by its similarities to other, already popular games, and honestly, people just love categorization for its own sake. For this guide, it's important to define the genre so it is clear what games it's even talking about.

This poses a problem. Genres, being Social Constructs, suffer from the usual issues social constructs have of being vague and shifting over time. "Incremental", in particular, is a horribly vague way to define games. Most games have numbers going up in some form or another. We need a more specific definition - similar to how "strategy" can't just mean any game with any amount of strategy because that would be most games. What specifically differentiates incremental games from the rest?

"Incremental" implies it's a genre defined by a game mechanic, but all those game mechanics it could imply exist in many other games. Having a skill tree or upgrades doesn't make you incremental, and if a reset mechanic is all it takes then every roguelite would be an incremental as well. So clearly there's more to it than that - what makes an incremental an incremental?

I'd like to go over a couple of popular suggestions I've seen on defining the genre here. I have my personal preferences and will state them here, but I don't think there's a truly perfect answer.

BTW, if this article made you realize discourse around defining genres is actually a really interesting, even fascinating, topic, I recommend this video essay: Who Shot Guybrush Threepwood? | Genre and the Adventure Game.

Disclaimer: I mostly play incremental games on my computer, and my definitions will be heavily biased towards the games I'm familiar with.

Incrementals vs Idlers vs Clickers ​

Oftentimes people refer to this genre as idle games and/or clicker games. You'll even find a trend of oxymoronic game titles that contain both terms. "Incremental games" is the umbrella term both those terms fall under. However, I'd like to argue that not only is it better to just use the term "incremental games", but calling them "idle games" or "clicker games" is wrong. Almost universally, these terms are used interchangeably to refer to the same kind of game, where you start the game click spamming and eventually automate the process. Frankly, that kind of game deserves neither title, and the genre of incremental games has trended away from ever requiring click spamming, as it's a bad mechanic, anyways.

While these games do span a spectrum of how active it requires you to be, and sorting games by that metric can be useful for those looking for a particular experience, the borders of when an incremental game counts as an "idler" is too blurry for the term to be useful. "Incremental games" may not be a great descriptive term for the genre (hence this many thousands of words long page on defining what the genre even is), but it's strictly better than calling them "idler" or "clicker" games. This guide will always use the term "incremental games" unless quoting someone else, as it is the term you typically see on all modern games in the genre.

Incrementals as Parodies

Let's start with one of the most interesting definitions of incremental games. Incremental games appear to be distilled versions of games or genres, "revealing" the naked game design at the core of these games or genres not unlike how parodies comment upon their source material.

To understand what that means, think of how a casino uses skinner boxes to emotionally manipulate its customers to keep playing, but "dressing" up the skinner box with tons of stimuli to hide that ultimately the goal is to condition you into coming back compulsively. The idea that incremental games are parodies means taking the stance that at some level all games are similarly manipulating you, giving dopamine rewards in a way that manipulates you to keep playing while not necessarily giving you any value or fulfillment. Incremental games, then, are any games that plainly display the skinner box, and the manipulative core of the game, at the forefront of the experience.

While incremental games can be fun and even healthy in certain contexts, they can exacerbate video game addiction more than other genres. If you feel like playing incremental games is taking priority over other things in your life, or manipulating your sleep schedule, it may be prudent to seek help. See r/StopGaming for resources.

This "undressing" tends to go hand in hand with a reduced focus on aesthetics, often just printing the game state directly to the screen as text. This makes incremental games much easier to develop, particularly for those with programming skills but not art skills, but that's a tangent for why Incremental Games Guide to Incrementals/Appeal to Developers.

Before I continue, I'd like to make my stance clear that I love games and incremental games, and do not think they should be considered inherently bad or manipulative with the above logic. Skinner boxes are just a way of manipulating behavior via rewards. The games are still fun - that's the reward! I'd believe the real criticism here is that it is "empty fun", or "empty dopamine", that doesn't offer any additional value or sense of fulfillment. I don't think that's inherently bad in moderation, although it can become a problem if the game is manipulating you for profit-seeking, or if you play the game to the detriment of the other parts of your life.

Another interpretation of incremental games as parodies comes from several mainstream incremental games that are also parodies of capitalism, such as cookie clicker and adventure capitalist. It's a very common framework for incremental games to portray the ever-increasing numbers as an insatiable hunger for resources, like the ones observed within capitalism. Therefore, these games are used as evidence that the genre as a whole is about parody and commentary.

Popular videos on incremental games that portray the genre as parodies are Why Idle games make good satire, and how it was ruined. and Bad Game Design - Clicker Games. You may also be interested in this response to the latter video from a fan of incremental games: BadGood Game Design - Clicker Games.

I think that this definition ultimately ascribes a motive to the genre as a whole that only happens to apply to some of the more mainstream titles. There certainly are incremental games commenting on different things, including the genre itself as in the case of The Prestige Tree Classic, The Ascension Tree, or Omega Layers, but certainly not all. And of course, not all games that comment on something or parody something are incremental games! Additionally, a very large majority of incremental games are mobile games using these manipulative strategies to get players to spend as much money as possible - hell, Adventure Capitalist is ostensibly a critique on capitalism but features microtransactions and gameplay that manipulates you into buying them! These profit-seeking incremental games certainly belong within the genre but are hardly parodies when they too use manipulation to serve their interests. Also, from my own anecdotal experience, those who use this definition seem to do so from a fairly surface-level familiarity with the genre, and often in the context of criticizing the genre or the fans thereof.

Incrementals as NGU ​

Another broad definition often used is that incremental games are games where the focus of the game is "numbers going up". This definition proposes that other genres simply use increasing numbers as a means to an end, but incremental games uniquely only care about the numbers themselves going up. Put another way, it implies there should be no narrative justification for the numbers going up other than "why shouldn't they be going up?"

While this definition is common because it feels easy to understand, it is difficult to formally define. Often phrases are used to describe games using this framework, such as having an "exaggerated sense of progression" or "big" numbers. These terms are vague and don't demonstrate an actual threshold between non-incrementals and incrementals. Most games have a sense of progression, so when is it "exaggerated"? How big are "big" numbers? Most notably, RPGs that are typically not considered incrementals will often pass this definition.

Additionally, a lot of incrementals tend to have some theme guiding the gameplay, or at least the names of mechanics. This makes the line blurred between when numbers are going up for their own sake versus for a contextual reason. I believe this point is best illustrated that, while most RPGs are not considered incremental games, there is a sub-genre of "incremental RPGs" that typically relates to RPGs that perform combat automatically. This definition of incremental games does not support RPGs and "incremental RPGs" being on distinct sides of the line if the only difference between them is manual vs automatic combat.

Incrementals as Strategies

This is a rarer interpretation, but there are similarities between incremental games and strategy games, implying incrementals might just be a sub-genre of strategy games. By this approach, incremental games would be defined by their relation to strategy games, and how they involve player strategy. Incremental games are often large optimization problems - above all else, the actual gameplay the player is performing is deciding what to do next. The consequences of wrong decisions are typically more lenient in incremental games - such as just not making optimal progress - but they certainly get complex.

So if we accept the premise that incrementals could fall under strategy, we still need to define what makes a strategy game an incremental versus some other strategy sub-genre. This is a bit tricky due to one particular sub-genre of strategy games: Factory Builders.

Factory builders, such as Factorio or Satisfactory, are games about gaining ever increasing resources, optimizing production, and expanding more and more. That... sounds pretty similar, doesn't it? In fact, there's been some debate on whether factory builders would fall under the "incremental" umbrella. I think it's safe to say the two are certainly related, and probably have quite a bit of overlap in playerbase.

Roguelites as Incrementals? ​

Earlier on, I mentioned reset mechanics shouldn't be used in the definition because that could make all roguelites incrementals... But what if it does? A lot of incrementals can be described as games with a strong sense of progression, often with layers of meta-progression. Roguelites fit that bill to a T. What would make roguelites not incremental? I honestly don't think there's a good explanation here, but many fans of incremental games will state they do believe the two genres to be unrelated, even if there's a significant overlap between their player bases due to having similar appealing traits.

At this point, it'd be appropriate to consider what part of the definition of roguelites precludes them from also being incrementals, but that reveals a new problem: What are roguelites? They're usually defined as rogue_likes with meta-progression, but that just pushes the problem back a step: Incrementals aren't the only genre to have difficulties defining themselves, it seems! Roguelikes are another genre where the community argues over the formal definition of their genre, although that means we can borrow from their process of coming to a consensus, and maybe come across a viable definition for incremental games.

The Berlin Interpretation ​

By far the most popular way of defining roguelikes is the "Berlin Interpretation", which acknowledged the diversity of games within the genre and argued the definition should not be based on any ideals about what the genre ought to be, but rather defined by "its canon". They argued there are a handful of games that can be used to define the canon for roguelikes, and from those games, a list of factors can be derived to determine a game's "roguelikeness". The more factors a game has, the more of a roguelike it is. This strategy is very lenient, allowing a game to not present any specific factor so long as it shows enough, and accounts for the blurriness of any genre definition by not explicitly stating how many factors a game must have to qualify as a definite roguelike.

I believe this strategy for defining genres can be applied to other genres as well. A handful of games can be argued to be the incremental games canon, and a list of factors derived from them can be used to judge any game based on its "incrementalness". I'll propose such a canon and list of factors here, but by no means should it be considered the end-all-be-all.

Note: The "Temple of the roguelike", an authority within the genre, has since replaced the Berlin Interpretation with a new set of factors here: https://blog.roguetemple.com/what-is-a-traditional-roguelike/

A Modern Incremental Games Canon ​

Alright, time to get controversial. Up til now, I've been trying my best to stay objective and analytical, but now it's time to start making some opinionated decisions. I've created a list of games I think could be justified in making up a modern incremental games canon.

Before I mention the list, let's establish how I got to this list. First off, I'm really focusing on building a definition of the genre today, so I prefer modern games over traditional ones. A canon of culturally or historically significant titles to the genre would give a different list. Keep in mind the original Berlin interpretation (and the temple's update to it) were trying to define "traditional roguelikes", which is not my objective here. Building a canon that aims to trace the history of the genre is still valid and useful.

I'm also trying to ensure I pick a large breadth of incremental games, so I'm going to approach the list as a list of archetypes, with a single game to represent it but with other titles mentioned as other examples. This approach places each archetype as equally important, even if one only has a couple entries. Besides the impracticality of a canon that just includes every game, it'd be very biased towards games with large modding communities like Cookie Clicker or The Prestige Tree.

With all that behind us, here is a list of games I think could justifiably make up a Modern Incremental Games Canon:

  • Dodecadragons

    This game represents incremental games with many prestige layers that often have rapid resets and automate lower layers as more get unlocked. Other examples could also include The Prestige Tree, Really Grass Cutting Incremental Classic, Distance Incremental, or the massive modding community TPT has. A lot of the games I've personally worked on fall in this group, like Advent Incremental.

  • Evolve Idle

    This game represents incremental games with few prestige layers, very slow resets, and a focus on resource management. Typically involve some sort of worker allocation. Other examples would be Kitten's Game, Shark Game, or Magic Research.

  • (the) Gnorp Apologue

    This game represents incremental games with a central mechanic that gets added to by various other mechanics. All the mechanics remain relevant throughout the game, with different ones contributing most over time. Other examples include Nodebuster and To the Core. A lot of traditional games also fall in this archetype by having characters or buildings you level up, that each contribute additively to gaining the primary resources. These include Cookie Clicker, Clicker Heroes, and Realm Grinder. In a way, that makes the modern titles mentioned in this archetype the spiritual successors of those traditional games, and exemplifies how the genre has changed.

  • Idle Momentum

    This game represents incremental games that include polynomial growth as a central mechanic that is then built upon. Other examples include Antimatter Dimensions, Swarm Simulator, and Derivative Clicker.

  • Melvor Idle

    This game represents incremental games that are essentially a genre blend between incremental games and RPGs. Compared to other types of RPGs, these games have a focus on progressing while idle. Other examples would be IdleOn and a very large amount of mobile RPGs.

  • Stuck in Time

    This game represents incremental games that include a reset mechanic where there are pre-defined decisions being made during the course of the run. There's typically a concept of a playable character, whose actions are being "queued up" during a run, and these runs become longer or otherwise more productive as the game progresses. There are a lot of examples of this genre, including Cavernous II, Increlution, Progress Knight, Idle Loops, and Groundhog Life.

  • Universal Paperclips

    This game represents incremental games that involve several phases of completely distinct gameplay that fully replace the previous, called "paradigm shifts". Prestige layers are also often paradigm shifts, but this game represents paradigm shifts that are not reset mechanics but still transform the gameplay. Other examples would be Crank or A Dark Room. Spore would be an example that's not typically considered an incremental.

  • Unnamed Space Idle

    This game represents incremental games that focus on unlocking many different independent progression systems that boost each other, and all remain relevant throughout the course of the game. Other examples include NGU Idle, Anti-Idle, Idle Skilling, and Idle Wizard.

It may look like I've just shifted the problem down a level - rather than defining the genre, I'm now defining a bunch of sub-genres. However, the methods used here for defining the canon, and my attempt at ensuring a breadth of games by determining distinct archetypes, is just my approach. This list is additionally biased towards games I'm more familiar with, which will differ person to person. The only hard and fast rule is that every game on the list should be nearly universally accepted as an incremental game. So long as you do that, the factors should be relatively similar, although ofc individuals will still likely have small differences, as is the nature of socially constructed definitions.

Naturally this canon is a perpetual work-in-progress. I'm currently a bit uncertain about the distinctions between the evolve idle, melvor idle, and unnamed space idle archetypes. I could see those being rewritten as two or even a single archetype.

Unfolding ​

There are several related concepts mentioned in the canon - unfolding, prestige layers, and paradigm shifts. Unfolding is the umbrella term which includes the other two, and is clearly the highest possible value factor for an incremental. It's so common that for a while people referred to incrementals that exhibit this trait as "unfolding" games, to the point of trying to replace the term incremental due to their popularity.

There are many reasons for the appeal of unfolding mechanics. Oftentimes each mechanic builds on top of the existing mechanics, increasing the complexity of the game in steps so the player can follow along. In fact, sometimes the older mechanics will be entirely phased out (e.g. by automating them), so the complexity of the game remains roughly equal throughout the game. In any case, adding new mechanics regularly provides a sense of mystery, with the player anticipating what will happen next. They shake up the gameplay before it gets too stale - allowing the game to entertain for longer before the sense of Guide to Incrementals/What is Content? dissipates. Of the canon games selected above, I would argue every single one contains unfolding to some degree.

I should take a moment to say that while I'm hyping up this specific factor, we cannot just reduce the genre definition to "does it introduce new mechanics over time". Many games have paradigm shifts that are not incremental, so it's just an indicator of incrementalness. Every single canon game may show that it's common amongst incremental games, but could just as easily indicate that they're common in games in general.

High-Value Factors ​

I won't take as long to discuss the high and low-value factors, as you've already seen most of them brought up earlier on this page. As a reminder, a game does NOT need all of these to be an incremental game, but these are factors that each indicate a strong possibility the game is an incremental, so having several of these means they probably are. These factors apply to most of the canon incremental games.

"Pure UI" Display. Incrementals typically have a data-driven interface of the game state - there isn't a visual representation of the entities within the game. The interface resembles what might be a control panel in another genre, with a focus on numbers, buttons, and readouts rather than animated sprites or scenes. Even when there are visual elements, like item icons or simple enemy images, the player's main interaction is with non-diegetic, UI-focused components rather than immersive game visuals.

Reduced Consequences. Incrementals tend to have reduced repurcussions for misplaying. They very rarely have fail states, where often the largest consequence is simply not progressing - never losing progress.

Optimization Problems. The predominant gameplay of incrementals is typically solving optimization problems, from deciding which purchase to save up for to reasoning and deciding between different mutually exclusive options the game presents.

Resource Management. Incrementals tend to have a lot of resources within the game to keep track of.

Low-Value Factors ​

These are low-value factors, meaning they aren't as strongly correlated with incremental games. Incremental games may have none of these, and non-incrementals may have several of these - if a game only has low-value factors, they're probably not an incremental.

Fast Numeric Growth. Numbers in incremental games tend to grow faster than in other genres. There are more instances of superlinear growth. The larger the numbers get, the stronger of a signal this factor is.

Automation. As an incremental game progresses, the player often no longer has to deal with earlier mechanics, by having them either happen automatically or otherwise be replaced with an alternative that requires less player interaction.

Goal-Oriented. Incrementals are often heavily reliant on extrinsic motivation to guide the player. Typically this is through some sort of in-game goal to work towards, such as a certain amount of a resource being required to unlock or purchase something new.

Waiting is a Mechanic. In incremental games, the player may come across times where there is no action they can take, and the game will progress automatically instead. The player must wait for some amount of this automatic progress to occur before they can resume interaction with the game.

Are Roguelites Incrementals? ​

Having made our variation of the Berlin Interpretation for incremental games, we can compare it to the Berlin Interpretation to determine if there's enough overlap that any game that "passes" the Berlin Interpretation would also pass the incremental variant. That is to say, whether any roguelite would also be considered an incremental game.

The meta-progression of an incremental game could arguably be considered a paradigm shift, and certainly adds some resource management. Goal-oriented would probably also apply. I think anything other than those would be a stretch, and in my opinion that just isn't enough to qualify. To be totally honest, I was never expecting to conclude otherwise though 😉

Sub-Genres ​

There are some trends in incremental games that go beyond just being a commonly used mechanic, such that they deeply affect the rest of the game design. To a degree each of the games in the canon could arguably be part of distinct sub-genres, but I think these 4 deserve specific mentions:

Loops games are a sub-genre defined by having a core mechanic related to a loop, where the player is deciding the actions taken per loop. Notable examples include Idle Loops, Stuck in Time, Cavernous II, and Increlution. You may also argue Groundhog Life and Progress Knight fall into this sub-genre.

ITRTG-like games are a sub-genre defined by having a core mechanic based on clearing increasingly difficult battles and often tend to have a lot of different mechanics to become progressively stronger. Notable examples include Idling to Rule the Gods, NGU Idle, and Wizard and Minion Idle.

Polynomial Growth games are a sub-genre defined by having a core mechanic related to a higher degree polynomial. Notable examples include the base layer of Antimatter Dimensions and Swarm Simulator.

Upgrades Games is a category popular on flash games websites that featured games focused on buying upgrades that would allow you to attain more currency in some sort of minigame that would earn you more money to buy more upgrades, which I'd argue now belong under the fold of incremental games. Notable examples include the Learn to Fly series and Upgrade Complete.

Cultivation RPGs are a genre of games, books, and anime popular in China that center around being in a fantasy world with characters getting stronger over time. While few of them get translated into English, a fan of incremental games may find the available games interesting.

Video games are placed into genres for a variety of reasons. They can give a mental shorthand to set the player's expectations up, they can help a game market itself by its similarities to other, already popular games, and honestly, people just love categorization for its own sake. For this guide, it's important to define the genre so it is clear what games it's even talking about.

This poses a problem. Genres, being Social Constructs, suffer from the usual issues social constructs have of being vague and shifting over time. "Incremental", in particular, is a horribly vague way to define games. Most games have numbers going up in some form or another. We need a more specific definition - similar to how "strategy" can't just mean any game with any amount of strategy because that would be most games. What specifically differentiates incremental games from the rest?

"Incremental" implies it's a genre defined by a game mechanic, but all those game mechanics it could imply exist in many other games. Having a skill tree or upgrades doesn't make you incremental, and if a reset mechanic is all it takes then every roguelite would be an incremental as well. So clearly there's more to it than that - what makes an incremental an incremental?

I'd like to go over a couple of popular suggestions I've seen on defining the genre here. I have my personal preferences and will state them here, but I don't think there's a truly perfect answer.

BTW, if this article made you realize discourse around defining genres is actually a really interesting, even fascinating, topic, I recommend this video essay: Who Shot Guybrush Threepwood? | Genre and the Adventure Game.

Disclaimer: I mostly play incremental games on my computer, and my definitions will be heavily biased towards the games I'm familiar with.

Incrementals vs Idlers vs Clickers ​

Oftentimes people refer to this genre as idle games and/or clicker games. You'll even find a trend of oxymoronic game titles that contain both terms. "Incremental games" is the umbrella term both those terms fall under. However, I'd like to argue that not only is it better to just use the term "incremental games", but calling them "idle games" or "clicker games" is wrong. Almost universally, these terms are used interchangeably to refer to the same kind of game, where you start the game click spamming and eventually automate the process. Frankly, that kind of game deserves neither title, and the genre of incremental games has trended away from ever requiring click spamming, as it's a bad mechanic, anyways.

While these games do span a spectrum of how active it requires you to be, and sorting games by that metric can be useful for those looking for a particular experience, the borders of when an incremental game counts as an "idler" is too blurry for the term to be useful. "Incremental games" may not be a great descriptive term for the genre (hence this many thousands of words long page on defining what the genre even is), but it's strictly better than calling them "idler" or "clicker" games. This guide will always use the term "incremental games" unless quoting someone else, as it is the term you typically see on all modern games in the genre.

Incrementals as Parodies

Let's start with one of the most interesting definitions of incremental games. Incremental games appear to be distilled versions of games or genres, "revealing" the naked game design at the core of these games or genres not unlike how parodies comment upon their source material.

To understand what that means, think of how a casino uses skinner boxes to emotionally manipulate its customers to keep playing, but "dressing" up the skinner box with tons of stimuli to hide that ultimately the goal is to condition you into coming back compulsively. The idea that incremental games are parodies means taking the stance that at some level all games are similarly manipulating you, giving dopamine rewards in a way that manipulates you to keep playing while not necessarily giving you any value or fulfillment. Incremental games, then, are any games that plainly display the skinner box, and the manipulative core of the game, at the forefront of the experience.

While incremental games can be fun and even healthy in certain contexts, they can exacerbate video game addiction more than other genres. If you feel like playing incremental games is taking priority over other things in your life, or manipulating your sleep schedule, it may be prudent to seek help. See r/StopGaming for resources.

This "undressing" tends to go hand in hand with a reduced focus on aesthetics, often just printing the game state directly to the screen as text. This makes incremental games much easier to develop, particularly for those with programming skills but not art skills, but that's a tangent for why Incremental Games Guide to Incrementals/Appeal to Developers.

Before I continue, I'd like to make my stance clear that I love games and incremental games, and do not think they should be considered inherently bad or manipulative with the above logic. Skinner boxes are just a way of manipulating behavior via rewards. The games are still fun - that's the reward! I'd believe the real criticism here is that it is "empty fun", or "empty dopamine", that doesn't offer any additional value or sense of fulfillment. I don't think that's inherently bad in moderation, although it can become a problem if the game is manipulating you for profit-seeking, or if you play the game to the detriment of the other parts of your life.

Another interpretation of incremental games as parodies comes from several mainstream incremental games that are also parodies of capitalism, such as cookie clicker and adventure capitalist. It's a very common framework for incremental games to portray the ever-increasing numbers as an insatiable hunger for resources, like the ones observed within capitalism. Therefore, these games are used as evidence that the genre as a whole is about parody and commentary.

Popular videos on incremental games that portray the genre as parodies are Why Idle games make good satire, and how it was ruined. and Bad Game Design - Clicker Games. You may also be interested in this response to the latter video from a fan of incremental games: BadGood Game Design - Clicker Games.

I think that this definition ultimately ascribes a motive to the genre as a whole that only happens to apply to some of the more mainstream titles. There certainly are incremental games commenting on different things, including the genre itself as in the case of The Prestige Tree Classic, The Ascension Tree, or Omega Layers, but certainly not all. And of course, not all games that comment on something or parody something are incremental games! Additionally, a very large majority of incremental games are mobile games using these manipulative strategies to get players to spend as much money as possible - hell, Adventure Capitalist is ostensibly a critique on capitalism but features microtransactions and gameplay that manipulates you into buying them! These profit-seeking incremental games certainly belong within the genre but are hardly parodies when they too use manipulation to serve their interests. Also, from my own anecdotal experience, those who use this definition seem to do so from a fairly surface-level familiarity with the genre, and often in the context of criticizing the genre or the fans thereof.

Incrementals as NGU ​

Another broad definition often used is that incremental games are games where the focus of the game is "numbers going up". This definition proposes that other genres simply use increasing numbers as a means to an end, but incremental games uniquely only care about the numbers themselves going up. Put another way, it implies there should be no narrative justification for the numbers going up other than "why shouldn't they be going up?"

While this definition is common because it feels easy to understand, it is difficult to formally define. Often phrases are used to describe games using this framework, such as having an "exaggerated sense of progression" or "big" numbers. These terms are vague and don't demonstrate an actual threshold between non-incrementals and incrementals. Most games have a sense of progression, so when is it "exaggerated"? How big are "big" numbers? Most notably, RPGs that are typically not considered incrementals will often pass this definition.

Additionally, a lot of incrementals tend to have some theme guiding the gameplay, or at least the names of mechanics. This makes the line blurred between when numbers are going up for their own sake versus for a contextual reason. I believe this point is best illustrated that, while most RPGs are not considered incremental games, there is a sub-genre of "incremental RPGs" that typically relates to RPGs that perform combat automatically. This definition of incremental games does not support RPGs and "incremental RPGs" being on distinct sides of the line if the only difference between them is manual vs automatic combat.

Incrementals as Strategies

This is a rarer interpretation, but there are similarities between incremental games and strategy games, implying incrementals might just be a sub-genre of strategy games. By this approach, incremental games would be defined by their relation to strategy games, and how they involve player strategy. Incremental games are often large optimization problems - above all else, the actual gameplay the player is performing is deciding what to do next. The consequences of wrong decisions are typically more lenient in incremental games - such as just not making optimal progress - but they certainly get complex.

So if we accept the premise that incrementals could fall under strategy, we still need to define what makes a strategy game an incremental versus some other strategy sub-genre. This is a bit tricky due to one particular sub-genre of strategy games: Factory Builders.

Factory builders, such as Factorio or Satisfactory, are games about gaining ever increasing resources, optimizing production, and expanding more and more. That... sounds pretty similar, doesn't it? In fact, there's been some debate on whether factory builders would fall under the "incremental" umbrella. I think it's safe to say the two are certainly related, and probably have quite a bit of overlap in playerbase.

Roguelites as Incrementals? ​

Earlier on, I mentioned reset mechanics shouldn't be used in the definition because that could make all roguelites incrementals... But what if it does? A lot of incrementals can be described as games with a strong sense of progression, often with layers of meta-progression. Roguelites fit that bill to a T. What would make roguelites not incremental? I honestly don't think there's a good explanation here, but many fans of incremental games will state they do believe the two genres to be unrelated, even if there's a significant overlap between their player bases due to having similar appealing traits.

At this point, it'd be appropriate to consider what part of the definition of roguelites precludes them from also being incrementals, but that reveals a new problem: What are roguelites? They're usually defined as rogue_likes with meta-progression, but that just pushes the problem back a step: Incrementals aren't the only genre to have difficulties defining themselves, it seems! Roguelikes are another genre where the community argues over the formal definition of their genre, although that means we can borrow from their process of coming to a consensus, and maybe come across a viable definition for incremental games.

The Berlin Interpretation ​

By far the most popular way of defining roguelikes is the "Berlin Interpretation", which acknowledged the diversity of games within the genre and argued the definition should not be based on any ideals about what the genre ought to be, but rather defined by "its canon". They argued there are a handful of games that can be used to define the canon for roguelikes, and from those games, a list of factors can be derived to determine a game's "roguelikeness". The more factors a game has, the more of a roguelike it is. This strategy is very lenient, allowing a game to not present any specific factor so long as it shows enough, and accounts for the blurriness of any genre definition by not explicitly stating how many factors a game must have to qualify as a definite roguelike.

I believe this strategy for defining genres can be applied to other genres as well. A handful of games can be argued to be the incremental games canon, and a list of factors derived from them can be used to judge any game based on its "incrementalness". I'll propose such a canon and list of factors here, but by no means should it be considered the end-all-be-all.

Note: The "Temple of the roguelike", an authority within the genre, has since replaced the Berlin Interpretation with a new set of factors here: https://blog.roguetemple.com/what-is-a-traditional-roguelike/

A Modern Incremental Games Canon ​

Alright, time to get controversial. Up til now, I've been trying my best to stay objective and analytical, but now it's time to start making some opinionated decisions. I've created a list of games I think could be justified in making up a modern incremental games canon.

Before I mention the list, let's establish how I got to this list. First off, I'm really focusing on building a definition of the genre today, so I prefer modern games over traditional ones. A canon of culturally or historically significant titles to the genre would give a different list. Keep in mind the original Berlin interpretation (and the temple's update to it) were trying to define "traditional roguelikes", which is not my objective here. Building a canon that aims to trace the history of the genre is still valid and useful.

I'm also trying to ensure I pick a large breadth of incremental games, so I'm going to approach the list as a list of archetypes, with a single game to represent it but with other titles mentioned as other examples. This approach places each archetype as equally important, even if one only has a couple entries. Besides the impracticality of a canon that just includes every game, it'd be very biased towards games with large modding communities like Cookie Clicker or The Prestige Tree.

With all that behind us, here is a list of games I think could justifiably make up a Modern Incremental Games Canon:

  • Dodecadragons

    This game represents incremental games with many prestige layers that often have rapid resets and automate lower layers as more get unlocked. Other examples could also include The Prestige Tree, Really Grass Cutting Incremental Classic, Distance Incremental, or the massive modding community TPT has. A lot of the games I've personally worked on fall in this group, like Advent Incremental.

  • Evolve Idle

    This game represents incremental games with few prestige layers, very slow resets, and a focus on resource management. Typically involve some sort of worker allocation. Other examples would be Kitten's Game, Shark Game, or Magic Research.

  • (the) Gnorp Apologue

    This game represents incremental games with a central mechanic that gets added to by various other mechanics. All the mechanics remain relevant throughout the game, with different ones contributing most over time. Other examples include Nodebuster and To the Core. A lot of traditional games also fall in this archetype by having characters or buildings you level up, that each contribute additively to gaining the primary resources. These include Cookie Clicker, Clicker Heroes, and Realm Grinder. In a way, that makes the modern titles mentioned in this archetype the spiritual successors of those traditional games, and exemplifies how the genre has changed.

  • Idle Momentum

    This game represents incremental games that include polynomial growth as a central mechanic that is then built upon. Other examples include Antimatter Dimensions, Swarm Simulator, and Derivative Clicker.

  • Melvor Idle

    This game represents incremental games that are essentially a genre blend between incremental games and RPGs. Compared to other types of RPGs, these games have a focus on progressing while idle. Other examples would be IdleOn and a very large amount of mobile RPGs.

  • Stuck in Time

    This game represents incremental games that include a reset mechanic where there are pre-defined decisions being made during the course of the run. There's typically a concept of a playable character, whose actions are being "queued up" during a run, and these runs become longer or otherwise more productive as the game progresses. There are a lot of examples of this genre, including Cavernous II, Increlution, Progress Knight, Idle Loops, and Groundhog Life.

  • Universal Paperclips

    This game represents incremental games that involve several phases of completely distinct gameplay that fully replace the previous, called "paradigm shifts". Prestige layers are also often paradigm shifts, but this game represents paradigm shifts that are not reset mechanics but still transform the gameplay. Other examples would be Crank or A Dark Room. Spore would be an example that's not typically considered an incremental.

  • Unnamed Space Idle

    This game represents incremental games that focus on unlocking many different independent progression systems that boost each other, and all remain relevant throughout the course of the game. Other examples include NGU Idle, Anti-Idle, Idle Skilling, and Idle Wizard.

It may look like I've just shifted the problem down a level - rather than defining the genre, I'm now defining a bunch of sub-genres. However, the methods used here for defining the canon, and my attempt at ensuring a breadth of games by determining distinct archetypes, is just my approach. This list is additionally biased towards games I'm more familiar with, which will differ person to person. The only hard and fast rule is that every game on the list should be nearly universally accepted as an incremental game. So long as you do that, the factors should be relatively similar, although ofc individuals will still likely have small differences, as is the nature of socially constructed definitions.

Naturally this canon is a perpetual work-in-progress. I'm currently a bit uncertain about the distinctions between the evolve idle, melvor idle, and unnamed space idle archetypes. I could see those being rewritten as two or even a single archetype.

Unfolding ​

There are several related concepts mentioned in the canon - unfolding, prestige layers, and paradigm shifts. Unfolding is the umbrella term which includes the other two, and is clearly the highest possible value factor for an incremental. It's so common that for a while people referred to incrementals that exhibit this trait as "unfolding" games, to the point of trying to replace the term incremental due to their popularity.

There are many reasons for the appeal of unfolding mechanics. Oftentimes each mechanic builds on top of the existing mechanics, increasing the complexity of the game in steps so the player can follow along. In fact, sometimes the older mechanics will be entirely phased out (e.g. by automating them), so the complexity of the game remains roughly equal throughout the game. In any case, adding new mechanics regularly provides a sense of mystery, with the player anticipating what will happen next. They shake up the gameplay before it gets too stale - allowing the game to entertain for longer before the sense of Guide to Incrementals/What is Content? dissipates. Of the canon games selected above, I would argue every single one contains unfolding to some degree.

I should take a moment to say that while I'm hyping up this specific factor, we cannot just reduce the genre definition to "does it introduce new mechanics over time". Many games have paradigm shifts that are not incremental, so it's just an indicator of incrementalness. Every single canon game may show that it's common amongst incremental games, but could just as easily indicate that they're common in games in general.

High-Value Factors ​

I won't take as long to discuss the high and low-value factors, as you've already seen most of them brought up earlier on this page. As a reminder, a game does NOT need all of these to be an incremental game, but these are factors that each indicate a strong possibility the game is an incremental, so having several of these means they probably are. These factors apply to most of the canon incremental games.

"Pure UI" Display. Incrementals typically have a data-driven interface of the game state - there isn't a visual representation of the entities within the game. The interface resembles what might be a control panel in another genre, with a focus on numbers, buttons, and readouts rather than animated sprites or scenes. Even when there are visual elements, like item icons or simple enemy images, the player's main interaction is with non-diegetic, UI-focused components rather than immersive game visuals.

Reduced Consequences. Incrementals tend to have reduced repurcussions for misplaying. They very rarely have fail states, where often the largest consequence is simply not progressing - never losing progress.

Optimization Problems. The predominant gameplay of incrementals is typically solving optimization problems, from deciding which purchase to save up for to reasoning and deciding between different mutually exclusive options the game presents.

Resource Management. Incrementals tend to have a lot of resources within the game to keep track of.

Low-Value Factors ​

These are low-value factors, meaning they aren't as strongly correlated with incremental games. Incremental games may have none of these, and non-incrementals may have several of these - if a game only has low-value factors, they're probably not an incremental.

Fast Numeric Growth. Numbers in incremental games tend to grow faster than in other genres. There are more instances of superlinear growth. The larger the numbers get, the stronger of a signal this factor is.

Automation. As an incremental game progresses, the player often no longer has to deal with earlier mechanics, by having them either happen automatically or otherwise be replaced with an alternative that requires less player interaction.

Goal-Oriented. Incrementals are often heavily reliant on extrinsic motivation to guide the player. Typically this is through some sort of in-game goal to work towards, such as a certain amount of a resource being required to unlock or purchase something new.

Waiting is a Mechanic. In incremental games, the player may come across times where there is no action they can take, and the game will progress automatically instead. The player must wait for some amount of this automatic progress to occur before they can resume interaction with the game.

Are Roguelites Incrementals? ​

Having made our variation of the Berlin Interpretation for incremental games, we can compare it to the Berlin Interpretation to determine if there's enough overlap that any game that "passes" the Berlin Interpretation would also pass the incremental variant. That is to say, whether any roguelite would also be considered an incremental game.

The meta-progression of an incremental game could arguably be considered a paradigm shift, and certainly adds some resource management. Goal-oriented would probably also apply. I think anything other than those would be a stretch, and in my opinion that just isn't enough to qualify. To be totally honest, I was never expecting to conclude otherwise though 😉

Sub-Genres ​

There are some trends in incremental games that go beyond just being a commonly used mechanic, such that they deeply affect the rest of the game design. To a degree each of the games in the canon could arguably be part of distinct sub-genres, but I think these 4 deserve specific mentions:

Loops games are a sub-genre defined by having a core mechanic related to a loop, where the player is deciding the actions taken per loop. Notable examples include Idle Loops, Stuck in Time, Cavernous II, and Increlution. You may also argue Groundhog Life and Progress Knight fall into this sub-genre.

ITRTG-like games are a sub-genre defined by having a core mechanic based on clearing increasingly difficult battles and often tend to have a lot of different mechanics to become progressively stronger. Notable examples include Idling to Rule the Gods, NGU Idle, and Wizard and Minion Idle.

Polynomial Growth games are a sub-genre defined by having a core mechanic related to a higher degree polynomial. Notable examples include the base layer of Antimatter Dimensions and Swarm Simulator.

Upgrades Games is a category popular on flash games websites that featured games focused on buying upgrades that would allow you to attain more currency in some sort of minigame that would earn you more money to buy more upgrades, which I'd argue now belong under the fold of incremental games. Notable examples include the Learn to Fly series and Upgrade Complete.

Cultivation RPGs are a genre of games, books, and anime popular in China that center around being in a fantasy world with characters getting stronger over time. While few of them get translated into English, a fan of incremental games may find the available games interesting.

This "now page" offers a big picture glimpse into what I’m focused on at this point in my life. What is a now page?

Digital Gardens ​

I'm building (at least) a mockup for Orchard, an app for message gardening into a Network of Knowledge.

Ultimately, I think this project could have some implications on how this digital garden operates, so I've decided to stop further indieweb integrations like webmentions for now. I'd like to see a server be able to bridge indieweb and agentic fediverse posts, and start using the agentic fediverse posts as my new source of truth.

Incremental Social ​

I'm running and improving the social media site Incremental Social, along with CardboardEmpress.

I'd like to make it host an iroh node for hosting agentic fediverse content, managing a keypair for each account (with options for migration).

Chromatic Lattice ​

I'm working on a multiplayer incremental game called Chromatic Lattice . It's still largely in the concept phase, and may even be built on the Agentic Fediverse.

Kronos ​

I'm working on a long single player narratively driven incremental game called Kronos . This is a very long-term project.

A Plea to Organize

1135 words, ~6 minute read. Planted . Last tended to -.

If you take one message from this letter, let it be this: Organize! Seek out a local mutual aid group via Mutual Aid Hub or join a progressive political organization like the DSA. Whether you're providing aid, receiving it, or working alongside fellow progressives, solidarity is our strongest tool.

The following is both a call to action and a guide for building a socialist movement that will not only resist but overcome the regressive forces steering our nation.

The Democrat Party has Betrayed You ​

The US is also a one party state but with typical American extravagance, they have two of them.
-Julius Nyerere

Trump's victory isn't simply a failure of the American electorate—it highlights the absence of a true progressive candidate. The Democrat Party, despite its claims, hasn't delivered on key progressive issues. From the civil rights movement to women's suffrage to gay rights, change has always come from grassroots struggle, not the political elites. The Democrat party's consistent move rightward has betrayed working-class interests, serving capitalist agendas instead.

While the Biden administration touts economic recovery, public sentiment doesn't match. Wage stagnation, unaffordable housing, and unaddressed inflation expose the gap between their rhetoric and the lived experiences of most Americans. Despite popular support and a government trifecta, his administration failed to raise the national minimum wage or fix it to inflation. They've failed to institute or expand price controls on food or rent. They passed the inflation reduction act of 2022, but it was not enough.

Harris' platform was not even socially progressive, as evidenced by their non-action on trans rights. Harris dodging a question a month before the election about protecting trans rights by saying "follow the law", despite the law currently being transphobic and actively getting worse in many states. She then took a transmedicalist stance on trans rights, saying she only supported gender-affirming care when a doctor deemed it "medically necessary".

Harris campaigned on unity, which to her meant courting Republican figures, most notably Dick Cheney and his daughter Liz Cheney. This underscores the Democrats' strategy: appeal to the right, even at the expense of progressive values. This is why "pushing the party left" is a pipe dream - the DNC would rather lose elections than adopt a truly progressive platform. The most clear example of such resistance to progressivism is when they ensured Bernie Sanders could not win the 2016 primaries.

We Need a Progressive Movement ​

We may have all come on different ships, but we're in the same boat now.
- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

America is at a crossroads. The re-election of Trump signals a dangerous shift toward reactionary politics, but we can't rely on the Democratic Party to provide an alternative.

Direct action, especially mutual aid efforts, will be crucial in the coming years. Many marginalized communities will be targeted by the state, and we must be ready to provide support outside of traditional systems that have repeatedly failed them. You can find local mutual aid groups through Mutual Aid Hub, and help your local community.

Trans rights are currently under attack both nationally and in most states. You can use the Trans Legislation Tracker to keep up to date, and from there you can contact your representatives or join local protests.

Joining local progressive organizations, such as the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) or even fully socialist ones like the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), will help build a strong foundation for a larger political movement. These organizations can serve as vehicles for collective action, allowing us to pool resources, share knowledge, and coordinate efforts on a larger scale.

If you have local unions or cooperatives you can join or support, that will also help your fellow workers and increase the visibility across America of democratic socialist structures working.

Eventually, our goal must be to replace the Democrat party with a legitimately progressive party. Various progressive policies and ideals are gaining popularity across the nation, regardless of political affiliation: impactful policies like protecting abortion rights, raising the minimum wage, universal healthcare, or protecting trans people are supported by most Americans. This election campaign has shown us appealing to the right does not bring in new voters, so we must appeal to the left, addressing the material conditions of the working class and uniting people around a shared vision of a better future.

Don't be Neutral ​

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a socialist...
- Martin Niemöller

In times of political upheaval, apathy is a luxury we cannot afford. Choosing "neutrality" is tacitly supporting the status quo, which continues to harm marginalized communities and entrenches inequality. But worse than apathy is insisting on civility - demanding "polite" protests while ignoring the injustice that fuels them. As Dr. MLK Jr. warned, prioritizing order over justice will only perpetuate inequality. Real change requires confronting power structures directly, often outside the confines of "acceptable" political channels.

America's political system, with its electoral college, first-past-the-post voting, and powerful lobbying, is inherently undemocratic. These mechanisms are designed to preserve the status quo, limiting real choice and stifling progressive voices. History shows us that meaningful change has rarely come from the ballot box alone but from grassroots activism and sustained pressure. If we want to transform this system, we must do more than vote—we must mobilize, protest, and demand a better future.

Never be deceived that the rich will allow you to vote away their wealth.
- Lucy Parsons

When I gave food to the poor, they called me a saint. When I asked why the poor have no food, they called me a Communist.
- Dom Helder Camara

Mainstream media, owned by the capitalist class, will frame progressive issues as divisive or fringe. They will cover our failures but not our successes, and certainly not report on when we need your help. To break out from this bias, use news sources like Jacobin, Current Affairs, and The Intercept. Check out FAIR, a progressive news source that tackles corporate bias in media. Educate yourself on progressive causes via accessible resources such as Second Thought and Our Changing Climate. And if you have the time, reading political theory and understanding class struggle empowers us to cut through propaganda and equip ourselves for the fight ahead. In a world of influencers and culture war politics, improving our political literacy and seeing beyond the Republican vs Democrat dichotomy is imperative.

The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum - even encourage the
more critical and dissident views. That gives people the sense.
that there's free thinking going on, while all the time the
presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the
limits put on the range of the debate.
- Noam Chomsky

Conclusion ​

It is our duty to fight for our freedom.
It is our duty to win.
We must love each other and support each other.
We have nothing to lose but our chains.
- Assata Shakur

This is a frightening moment in our nation's history, but we are not powerless. By organizing, educating, and building solidarity, we can lay the foundation for a progressive future. Join an organization, get involved in mutual aid, and prepare to support a new party that prioritizes people over profit.

The path ahead is not easy, but it is necessary. Together, we will challenge the establishment, demand justice, and build a society that works for everyone. The struggle is just beginning—let's make sure it ends in victory.

The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum - even encourage the
more critical and dissident views. That gives people the sense.
that there's free thinking going on, while all the time the
presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the
limits put on the range of the debate.
- Noam Chomsky

Conclusion ​

It is our duty to fight for our freedom.
It is our duty to win.
We must love each other and support each other.
We have nothing to lose but our chains.
- Assata Shakur

This is a frightening moment in our nation's history, but we are not powerless. By organizing, educating, and building solidarity, we can lay the foundation for a progressive future. Join an organization, get involved in mutual aid, and prepare to support a new party that prioritizes people over profit.

The path ahead is not easy, but it is necessary. Together, we will challenge the establishment, demand justice, and build a society that works for everyone. The struggle is just beginning—let's make sure it ends in victory.

Play it here!

An Open Source game made in Profectus over the course of 1 month by myself and other devs I know in the Incremental Games community!

I had the idea of an advent-style game that unlocked new pieces of content every real-life day a couple days before December started.

This was one of the most hectic months of my life!

I'm super happy with how it turned out. It ended up being way more ambitious than I anticipated but the end result is super large and awesome!

The TV Tropes page on this game mentions some of the cool things about this game

Referenced by:IndividualismLeftismLocal CommunitiesMy Political BeliefsRepresentative Democracy

Anarchism is a political philosophy centered around the idea that authoritative hierarchies are unjust, and aim for a society completely devoid of a state. They see a state as inherently self-preservationist and oppressive, thus that it has no place in society nor the transition to an egalitarian society.

Broadly speaking, flavors of anarchism can fall into 3 categories: collectivist anarchism, which is what this article will focus on; individualist anarchism, which are right-wing versions of anarchism based on Individualism; and modern anarchism, which are adaptations of collectivist communism to include additional hierarchies, such as anarcha-feminism which seeks to abolish the patriarchy in addition to class hierarchy. I'm personally biased against individualist anarchism but align with the values present in many collectivist and modern flavors of anarchism. I believe an ideal society is one with strong Local Communities that operate as a collective; spreading power as thinly as possible to avoid the possibility of any individuals becoming corrupt and abusing their power.

Decision Making in Anarchy ​

Flavors of anarchy will differ on whether decision making should exist at all. Egoism, an individualist flavor of anarchism, argues against not only any kind of collective decision making, but against society itself. Collectivist flavors of anarchism typically allow for group decision making in some form.

Group decision making under anarchism is typically modeled after a flavor of democracy. Majoritarian democracy, or Direct Democracy , is the idea that everyone gets a single vote and a measure passes if most people are in favor of it. A Consensus Democracy as described in Consensus is the idea that measures should only pass if nobody is opposed to it. This typically means in lieu of voting, individuals can "block" a measure by saying they disagree with it in part of in whole, and the polity must then decide to drop the measure or tweak it until it can pass without any blocks. Some forms of consensus democracy will also allow for measures to pass despite a small number of blocks, for the sake of making it feasible without constant gridlock when scaling up.

There are criticism of group decision making as anti-anarchistic in any form. In both of these versions of democracy, the polity is collectively agreeing to have some form of rule or agreement in place, and once agreed to, an individual typically cannot rescind their consent to that rule or agreement. In majoritarian democracy, up to half the polity may have never even given consent for that rule in the first place. Even in consensus democracy, discussions will often break down into compromise and eventual resignation in order to get measures passed, which is not a "true" version of consent. Typically supporters of these decision making processes will justify them as necessary of a society to function.

I'm personally a fan of consensus democracy. I agree with the justification that a society will naturally and necessarily contain social relationships that lead to things like compromises, and that "persuasiveness" is a permissible hierarchy out of necessity for society to exist.

Democracy in Statist Society ​

As a quick aside, some anarchists are critical of the term "democracy" here, as it may carry baggage of how democracy is implemented in a statist society, or disingenuously try to copy over the positive associations democracy has within western society. An anarchist would typically flat out reject any form of Representative Democracy due to representatives inherently imperfectly abstracting the will of their constituency. They would argue representative democracy strictly gets better the closer you get to everyone having a representative that perfectly matches their positions on all issues, which is of course then equivalent to a direct democracy.

Assigning Roles in Anarchy ​

A flavor of anarchism that allows for group decision making typically also allows for roles to be assigned. If the group agreed that a specific person is in charge of making sure livestock don't escape, or another person is in charge of drafting a design for a new building being proposed, then that's completely fine. However, no person fulfilling a role should be considered un-replacable, as that imbues that person with unjust coercive power. That means roles should have redundancies and an answer for "what if this person threatens to stop performing their role unless we capitulate to their demands?"

Motivation Under Anarchy ​

Anarchism relies on the idea that there are enough individuals motivated to systemically fix problems that they will do so without direct personal gain (beyond the problem being solved), and that others will not block those efforts, even if the policy won't help them in particular. I believe this would and does hold true. I believe our society being filled with greedy individuals is primarily caused by our society rewarding greed (see Social Constructs and Materialism). Anarchy Works starts by addressing this argument. Without the profit motive and returning to a culture of collaboration and mutual aid, greed would for the most part become a non-factor in policy making. Those who are already at the top of the hierarchy don't want to lose their position, and have thus been propagandizing that hierarchies are necessary/inevitable, and even just. This concept gets discussed in The Alt-Right Playbook: Always a Bigger Fish.

Accountability under Anarchy ​

Anarchy requires Police Abolition, as a carceral state is, obviously, a state. Emma Goldman's essays on anarchism include a chapter on Prisons: A Social Crime and Failure. Suffice to say, there is no state sanctioned violence in a state-less society. With that in mind, if someone breaks a rule or otherwise acts anti-socially, the anarchist society will have to rely on other methods of accountability.

Like prison abolitionists, anarchists would prefer systemic solutions to problems. If someone had to steal food from another at risk of starving, the solution is to ensure food (and other needs like shelter and healthcare) are accessible to all. Technology has made it trivial to provide for everyone; In America, there is more food waste than it would take to feed all the hungry, and enough vacant houses to shelter all the homeless. The scarcity is artificial, created by and maintained by those at the top of the hierarchy.

After meeting everyone's needs, crimes should essentially go away. When accidents happen, there's no need for consequences but the community may make changes to help prevent accidents from re-occurring. If the incident was caused by someone's needs not being met (e.g. food or healthcare), then they should be supported rather than punished. For the remaining edge cases, there is typically reliance on social consequences. People are less likely to associate with someone with anti-social tendencies, and that person may eventually just have to leave the community if no one remains who is willing to associate with them. This should be exceedingly rare, however.

Scaling up Anarchy ​

A core principle of anarchism is "free association", referring to how individuals should be able to freely enter and leave agreements between anarchist organizations. This is freedom to collaborate with whoever and however you like. These organizations are then typically considered rather ephemeral; temporary arrangements that can dissolve at any time as the needs and desires of those within the arrangement change. Scaling this up, it applies to communities/polities as well. A community can freely enter or leave agreements with other communities, and individuals can freely enter and leave those communities.

One thing to be wary of with free association, is that it can incidentally support segregation. It's therefore important for communities to encourage diversity as much as they can, and refuse to associate with bigoted communities, theoretically discouraging those bigoted views through social and material isolation.

Bookchin, a philosopher who was anarchist but abandoned the term while remaining anti-statist, described a society called Communalism which effectively operated as a confederacy of communes. The communes would operate via consensus, and the confederacy by majoritarian rule, dictating things like allowing communes to join or leave the confederacy. This was an attempt at an alternative to anarchism that would more easily scale up, but is considered fairly controversial amongst anarchists.

There is an organizational concept called sociocracy that has roots in several proto-anarchist thinkers. Sociocracy For All describes it as "one particular way to put anarchist values into practice" in Sociocracy and Anarchism. Their structure closely resembles what I've described and advocated for here, and they've provided guides enabling many organizations to uphold anarchist values.

Anarchy and Capitalism ​

The definition of individualist anarchism, one of the three categories defined in the introduction, is quite contested amongst anarchists. Some deny that its distinct from collectivist socialism and worth consideration, others claim it includes anarcho-capitalism, and yet others deny that capitalism is even compatible with anarchism at all. As the broad categories are just a Social Construct trying to make it easier to analyze different flavors of anarchism, I think its sufficient to say individualist anarchism is not really a useful term, as it typically needs clarification upon use of what individualist anarchism means to that author specifically.

I will take a strong position in favor of the argument that capitalism is inherently incompatible with anarchism, though. Capitalism inherently forms hierarchies by introducing currency as a coercive force that is then required for continued survival. Anarcho-capitalism, the theoretical blending of capitalism and anarchism, argues for a stateless society with a market economy, effectively instituting laissez-faire economics. Anarcho-capitalism argues this market would regulate itself naturally due to the exchange of goods being purely voluntary, however this ignores capitalist incentives that would trend the economy towards wealth accumulating in the hands of the few. This creates a coercive hierarchy, which is not voluntary due to people's need for food, water, and shelter. The only way to avoid this unjust hierarchy would be with a form of regulatory body that would be nothing short of a state. Therefore, anarcho-capitalism is not compatible with anarchism, because despite their shared antipathy towards states, they do not share the underlying antipathy towards hierarchy.

Anarcho-capitalists argue that their vision of anarchism is the only form that could possibly exist in reality, as any other form necessitates a state in order to handle things like the redistribution of private property. However, this argument itself implies the necessity of private property as a concept. Collectivist forms of anarchy such as anarcho-communism or mutualism demonstrate how economies can work without private property.

Anarchy in the Workplace ​

Typical American corporations are very hierarchical, with a few hands at the top having ultimate say over the company - what it does, how much it pays its employees, who it fires, etc. Worker's co-operatives are alternatives to corporations that are entirely worker owned and operated, with a flat hierarchy that meaningfully improve worker's rights and help shift society more socialist.

This dynamic means technological progress works in employees' favor, rather than owners' (since the employees are the owners). For example, lets say some technological innovation made employees twice as productive. Under a capitalist structure, the owners would have no reason to increase compensation based on the increased production, and in fact would be discouraged from doing so. They'd likely either use the increased productivity to sell more products, or half the workforce to cut down on significant expenditures. Under a socialist or anarchist structure, the needs and desires of the people are most important, so workers are likely to either see increased compensation due to their increased productivity, or reduced hours without a reduction in compensation. The co-operative could still decide to also just utilize the increased productivity without reducing hours nor increasing compensation, but the decision to do so would have been consensually made by the workers themselves, not their boss.

China enacted a policy in 2024 to make all of its corporations operate democratically, with a "Employee Assembly" made up of up to 100 workers, that can decide on things like firing supervisors or, in big companies, appointing 1/3 of the board of directors. That goes a long way in democratizing the remaining private businesses in China.

Command palettes are a design pattern where apps expose functionality through a search bar

Typing what you want is almost certainly easier and faster than finding the action in some submenu or remembering an arcane hotkey

  • Especially with fuzzy search that also looks through descriptions of actions
  • Command palettes scale very well with large amounts of actions

Artificial Intelligence will make command palettes increasingly powerful

  • Eventually these may become conversational interfaces

Maggie Appleton discusses this pattern in her article on Command K Bars

  • The name comes from the fact many apps use the ctrl/cmd k shortcut to open the command palette

Referenced by:AnarchismGerrymanderingMy Political Beliefs

A form of democracy similar to Direct Democracy but with higher requirements for passing policies, typically requiring unanimity or near-unanimity. This helps reduce (although doesn't eliminate) the possibility of a majority group oppressing a minority group.

Consensus democracy encourages and requires innovative solutions to problems (similar to how Police Abolition) and pragmatic compromises. However, this can make them susceptible to "design by committee" and can make policies impossibly difficult to pass for large groups of people.

Since consensus democracy doesn't scale well, larger governments could be structured as a federation of smaller governments. The smaller governments still use consensus democracy, but the federation only adopts policies that a super-majority of the smaller governments have agreed upon. Alternatively, the federation could specifically ask the local governments for policy proposals, then use Direct Democracy to decide whether to approve it or not, still requiring a super-majority.

For policies that still are unable to pass federally, local governments could form coalitions that organize larger-scale initiatives between several districts. For example, this could empower efforts like transit systems between districts.

Transitioning to a direct democracy will face difficulties in finding an initial set of rules that people can agree with.

Something with no central source of authority. RSS, email, and the Fediverse are common examples of decentralized systems. There are many intricacies and potential pitfalls involved in allowing anyone to spin up their own server and join these large networks, but I believe they're often well worth it to solve the problems of centralized software. In practice though, even a lot of decentralized software can have the issues of centralized software due to the difficulty in migrating between servers, the difficulty in creating your own server, and the difficulty in picking a server, which typically leads to the consolidation of users in a handful of large servers (which are then similar to centralized services). I try to tackle those issues and suggest a new generation of federation without them in Fedi v2.

The typical (potential) advantages of decentralized services over centralized ones involve things like data ownership, increased privacy, having either no rules to follow or rules you more closely align with, the ability to customize your experience with custom servers or clients, protection from enshittification, and the democratization of improving the service.

I think there's been a long trend in the early 2020s of criticizing centralized services and looking for alternatives. Unfortunately, the network effect, transition costs, and issues with the alternatives have stymied their adoption. I'm still optimistic that we're approaching the point where a federated network will truly take over and replace these centralized services, and drastically impact the shape of the internet going forward.

Dice Armor is a game that started development as a semester-long project by a team of nine: a producer, a creative director, a narrative writer, an artist, two programmers, and 3 game designers. The information here is about my contributions as the lead programmer over the semester because I can show off stuff like the editor scripts I wrote. I was doing everything from interface coding, editor scripts, integrating Babble Buds, and of course, everything related to the gameplay itself. To date I'm still the lead programmer for the game; for more up-to-date information on the current state of the game please visit the official site.

The build available here was created for showing off at the end of the semester, and as such has some buttons present to make the game easier to skip parts of the game to see all the content: You start with all the dice in the game already in the shop, there's a button to give yourself free money to buy these dice with, and in the duel, there are buttons to force a win or a loss, which can be used to skip the tutorial (not recommended for first-time players).

Dice Armor is a dice dueling game. Players can use abilities, flip dice, and attack each other to win in a dice game that puts chance into the hands of the players. This is what the dueling scene looks like, with a tutorial cutscene happening on top to guide the player through the basics. Also, all the dice are constructed dynamically, using quaternion math to figure out the placement of each component relative to the face it is going on. The die in the middle has one of the player' and opponents' portraits on each of its sides.

For many of the objects I've created, I've made scriptable objects so that game designers can add and modify them easily. Additionally, I would create custom inspectors for the objects to help make them as easy to understand and edit as possible. The opponent's artificial intelligence is made up of many strategies, in a prioritized list. When it is the opponents' turn they go through each strategy and check if they can be run, and if so then the opponent performs the strategy and starts back over at the top of the list of strategies. The + sign under the list of strategies opens an organized dropdown of all the various strategies.

In addition to custom inspector code, I've created new tools for the editor for our game designers to use. This is a duel simulator that will take two opponents and simulate an arbitrary number of duels between them, and output the results and summarize them for you, much much quicker than manually going through the duels, even with an absurdly high timeScale. This will become incredibly useful in making balance changes and testing new dice against existing sets. This is a screenshot of it in edit mode, but in play mode it removes the "Dueling Managers" field and will use whatever the current duel balance settings are, allowing for the GDs to test freely in play mode without worrying about undoing all their changes afterward.

I created the Babble Buds puppet editor and ported the rendering library I wrote for it to C# so it could be used in Unity. Dice Armor has a full campaign using cutscenes made using the Babble Buds cutscene editor, taking advantage of its support for custom commands and fields to control things like talking, giving the player dice and money, starting duels, and controlling player progression through the story.

When a cutscene ends, its final command is to either start a duel or set the next cutscene in the story. In the latter case, there is an additional field for what to call the next cutscene, and what location it takes place. The cutscene is then added to the player's save file, and when they visit the city locations are greyed out until they have at least one action to do there. Each location has a dynamically populated action wheel with a custom range of acceptable angles.

The dice shop is dynamically populated by a list of dice available to the player, which can be changed during cutscenes, and is checked against the dice owned by the player to generate sold-out indicators. On the left, the player can choose to filter the options down to a single dice effect, which also updates the "Buy All" button to buy only all the dice in the current filter.

The inventory works most the same as the shop, but for equipping dice. It also allows you to drag individual dice or entire sets to the equipped dice glyph. While dragging it will highlight all the slots the new dice will be equipped into.

The dice rolling uses the physics engine and detects once the dice have stopped moving, then determines which side is face up based on which of the normals is closest to straight up. It flags the die as cocked if that smallest angle is above a threshold. The dice sink into the table when not rolling to not interfere with any dice that are rolling.

During certain events like winning the game or having the face of a die broken, the players' portraits will flash an emotion for a second. After winning, a random living die from the winning player is chosen to play their "finisher move", a flashy and dramatic effect to end the game. Shown is the arcane mechana's finisher, "Missile Storm".

After development stopped, the project became Open Source - check it out here

The Problem with Global Social Media ​

Digital spaces (Social Media) lack locality. If you see a post or thread, you'll see comments and replies from all sorts of people from all across the world and across the ideological spectrum, and you won't recognize a single one. There are no neighbors in cyberspace. This leads to interactions feeling a bit impersonal, as both the interaction and the other person only matter for this brief period of time, and you'll likely never interact again.

The only exception to this are influencers and people who are highly active within specific communities, who will gain a reputation through their name recognition. However, for people who aren't influencers or aren't highly active, these will be one-sided relationships (parasocial). The systems have been designed, often intentionally, to elevate a handful of accounts to celebrity status, a form of class struggle in the attention economy.

The virality sought after by influencers can sometimes happen to "normal" users as well (essentially randomly and non-consensually). This results in the phenomomen of people having their posts "blow up", reaching a much larger audience than intended and with it a lot more attention than intended. People who fall victim to this receive large amounts of negative attention that can seriously impact their mental well-being.

Networks with Digital Locality ​

I believe healthier communities should allow for a higher concentration of recognition, as that will lead to more meaningful relationships. This would mean a shift to smaller communities that aren't dominated by a couple personalities. Ones where you see the same people regularly. This would be in alignment with Dunbar's research on communities, which found there's a cognitive limit to how many people we can meaningfully "know". He discusses his research and how it's held up over the years in this article.

Discord creates an environment like I describe, at least within it's smaller servers, but introduces a new issue in doing so: Discord servers aren't porous. You're either in the server or not, and you can only reach outside a server by fully joining another. This means that it's more difficult to actually discover people with which to form these meaningful relationships.

A network based on digital locality should operate more similarly to neighborhoods in the real world - you're most likely to see those living closest to you, but you can still see others by just going a little further out. It's "porous" in the sense that you aren't limited to your immediate neighbors; It's a gradient, where more effort will always allow you to reach more people, rather than hitting a wall.

Unfortunately, with car dependent society this analogy breaks down a bit, as now people are covering such a large physical area regularly that its still rare to see a familiar face while, for example, buying groceries.

On a forums for discussing design of social spaces, this post describes how a sense of locality could improve social interactions online, due to social media not having discrete concepts of "living room" discussion versus "public square" discussion. We're both getting at this idea of limiting the reach of posts, or at least making it more intentional to make a post to be shown to everyone.

Building the Network ​

There are various values and principles to keep in mind when building this network.

Decentralization ​

It should already be clear by how I've described this network, but a lot of its design is specifically trying to limit the reach of individuals. Philosophically, this network is opposed to centralization. The same way no user should accumulate power and influence over other users, the network itself, and whoever runs/maintains it, shouldn't either. Centralized ownership and moderation over the network leaves it vulnerable to enshittification and other problems.

In practice, this likely means using something like the Agentic Fediverse as a base. Either way, ensure servers are only useful as relays; replaceable and without authority. Also design the protocol so that it can be improved and built upon without the need for a central authority. This goes beyond the efforts of AcivityPub and AtProto, which enable federations of smaller centralized authorities, not full decentralization.

Moderation ​

Being decentralized does not mean it cannot be organized and moderated. Decentralization is not an excuse to not moderate, and stopping the spread of hateful content does shouldn't be objected to on the principles of free speech.

I discuss how to organize without introducing authoritarian hierarchies while exploring the philosophy behind Anarchism. I explore decentralized moderation in my proposal for Fedi v2. The network of vouches idea I describe in the moderation section is prototypical of the principles of locality describe here.

Moderation is pretty tricky though, and while I believe the above can be quite effective, particularly at eliminating spam, this is something that will need review and iterations. No social media has solved the moderation problem. As this article points out, it's easy for moderation to have unintended side effects, particularly for marginalized groups.

For specifically tackling the problem of keeping fascism out of a community, I recommend this video (and the whole series) by Innuendo Studios.

Avoiding Filter Bubbles (or echo chambers) ​

The natural argument against what I'm describing here is that it would encourage the creation of filter bubbles. But I'd like to counter that argument by saying you're tackling the wrong issue, and that filter bubbles are typically innocuous and abolishing them would be actively harmful to marginalized communities. I've written a lot about filter bubbles on their own page, so I recommend you check it out.

Webrings ​

Erlend discusses a similar concept to locality in his blog post Federated Webrings, which describes how the old internet would make frequent use of webrings to connect similar sites. This would effectively create digital neighbors and make both the site owner and visitors connect with the owners and visitors of the other sites in the webring. Although I think these webrings become a bit too large and centralized. I would've preferred to see them work more like cooperatives, with some form of democratic decision making.

Erlend's suggestion for bringing webrings back is through the use of communities using shared topic-specific rooms. For example, several rust game development libraries having a shared chatroom for discussing game development in general. This makes the communities more porous, so members can discover related people and communities.

I recommend reading through the rest of Erlend's writing and keeping up with their projects. They've done a lot in this sphere, both while working at discourse and since, and are leading the charge for designing and implementing the agentic fediverse.

IndieWeb ​

Personal websites form a fully decentralized social network called the indie web, which focuses on data ownership. However, it's quite small due to the technical and financial barriers to creating a website. Due to the lack of centralization or algorithms, sites spread primarily by being linked to by others. That brings it close to what I'm describing here, although without asynchronous chat I don't think it's quite what I'm looking for.

MUDs ​

What I'm describing is also a lot like a MUD, classic online games where players existed in a world of connected rooms, where they interacted via a command line interface, including local and global chat. If it were decentralized and people all had control over their own room, it would look a lot like what I am describing (but much nerdier and less modern). It's a big inspiration for a lot of these ideas.

The Chromatic Lattice Experiment ​

I've been working on designing a game, chromatic lattice, that will involve social elements and be a "living game". It would avoid issues with the network effect by justifying it's existence with it's gameplay, similar to how many MMOs work. This makes it a great testing grounds for some of the ideas discussed in this document, particularly with respect to a community with digital locality.

A person's board will act as their profile page, and will include a local chat room (as opposed to the global one), a description, a list of people actively on the page, and a friends list that can be broken down into categories. Cursors also appear on the board for all users, although those can be toggled off in settings.

The idea is that whenever someone isn't actively working on improving their design, they can be visiting other players and chatting. They should still be able to see their resource amounts and buy upgrades while "abroad".

These chats will need some system for messages being reported, and users banned or silenced. No private chats - those will have to be taken to matrix, which every player will have.

The friend lists effectively work as the links between nodes, creating locality. Everyone has a link to their own board accessible at all times, and from there to their friends. All links would also show a count of how many people are on that board.

In addition to friends, you can jump to a players board or to wherever the player is by right clicking their name in global chat. You can also share links to your board off platform as well.

In theory, by making friends public and mutual, and showing the count of who is actively there, we should see clusters forming. My concern would be everyone just joining a single board, but hopefully stuff like wanting to discuss different topics can naturally prevent that from occurring.

I'll consider this experiment a success if people actually explore the network by jumping between boards, and if there are more messages sent in local chat than global chat. I'd like the average amount of players in a non empty room to be close to log_2(active players).

Referenced by:DecentralizedIncremental Social/nowOrchardSocial MediaThe IndieWeb/Signature BlocksWeird

A placeholder name for a theoretical new federated network that is client-centric, in contrast to the server-centric Fediverse. Many of the ideas here will be implemented as described or similarly by people much smarter than me as part of Agentic Federation on Iroh, an initiative by the Weird developers.

Motivation ​

The current fediverse, while in theory fully Decentralized, in practice suffers many of the issues associated with centralization. This is primarily caused by the friction of having to pick a server and the non feasibility of individuals buying a domain and setting up a single user instance - both of these causes lead to a handful of large servers with the bulk of the users. You can see this in action by looking up the relative sizes of lemmy and mastodon instances. Single-user Mastodon Instance is a Bad Idea goes over the non feasibility of self hosting and how it contributes to a handful of servers having the majority of the users.

The promise of federation is the ability to interact with the whole network, while being able to fully choose and customize how you yourself interact with the network. In practice though, clients are severely limited to what they can do based on the server software. Of particular note, Lemmy and Mastodon show content in different formats (threads vs microblogs), and no clients allow changing how they're displayed, or respecting the format of the source of the content. Clients also are unable to change sorting algorithms or how downvotes are handled - those are all dependent on the server. A Plan for Social Media - Rethinking Federation similarly criticizes how much of the decisions are dependent on the server, which most people won't be able to or willing to self host.

The pick a server problem is such a problem because not only do you have to pick what server has moderation policies you align with, but that you're also linking your identity with that server. Smaller servers tend to be more focused or niche, which is unlikely to fully encompass any person's entire identity. Why would I confine myself to being thepaperpilot@writinglovers.com if I'm more than a writing lover? Additionally, I'm risking that the community at that instance won't grow away from things I want to associate with, such as fascism or crypto. My identity could end up being associated with things I drastically don't want it to be.

Nostr fixes the pick a server problem with a properly decentralized identity, however it's done so by associating itself with crypto and the alt right, and fixing that culture problem is more effort than it's worth. It'll be difficult to gain broad adoption as anyone using the platform will have to take care to explain how they're using nostr but aren't alt right.

ATProto by bluesky offers a version of federation built for a handful of large instances, but allowing smaller servers to be spun up that can implement custom sorting algorithms, views, etc. Your identity can be tied to a domain you own, if you have one. This fixes a couple of the problems where you're unable to change certain things dictated by the servers, but doesn't quite go far enough. Their PDS system is very similar to what we're going for, but it's still tied to signing up at (and then relying upon) specific servers.

NextGraph looks very similar to what we're trying to build. My only note is really that it gives a bit of a crypto vibe through decisions like calling identities "wallets" that I think may make it fall into the same problems nostr has, but conceptually its really similar to everything discussed here, which is great! It should be incredibly easy to interoperate, at the very least.

Identity

The new fediverse should have a fully Decentralized Identity, where it's completely attached to the client rather than any server(s). This means you don't have to pick a server, worry about your chosen server going down, or that yout identity will become associated with an undesired community. It can properly allow you to engage in your variety of interests without having to associate any as core enough to attach your identity to.

This identity can be accomplished by the client merely generating a private and public key, which can then be stored however the user pleases. Reasonably, there's be default options to back up the private key to Google drive or alternatives, as most users will not desire to go the extra effort of backing up their identity without relying on big storage websites. But for those who wish, you could keep the identity solely on the device, or choose your own method of storage and backup.

The client can sign messages using the private key and distribute it through whatever means they wish, and it can be verified as sent by that identity using the public key to decode the message. In this context, messages could also refer to any other signed information, such as a bundle of profile information.

For casual conversation, a nickname in the profile data should be sufficient. Once a client interacts with someone, they can be added as a contact as a way of verifying the next conversation with someone with that username is actually the same person as before. For situations where you want to verify an identity actually has a credentials they claim, you can query a nameserver that vouches for them. For example, whitehouse.gov would have a nameserver that specifies which identity is the actual president of the United States (and other government officials). There could be nameservers that allow you to openly "register" your identity with them to get a unique human readable username you can include on billboards or other visual media where you want someone to be able to memorize the identifier, rather than scan a QR code or something. For more details on how these decentralized usernames would work, check out Petnames.

Through cryptography, you can be confident messages are verifiably sent by someone with access to the private key, and that the message was not tampered with. These are guarantees you can't make with the current server centric fediverse.

If you lose access to your account, it's gone forever. That is why I think there should be defaults to backup your private key to existing reliable servers, even if they're owned by large corporations. Otherwise I would see someone have their phone stolen, lost, or upgraded and be surprised when their account is now inaccessible.

If you do lose your account and create a new identity, you could have others "vouch" for the new identity being an alias for the previous identity. You could verify your new identity with people IRL, and then other clients can see those vouches publicly and, after sufficient quantity, just implicitly assume they're the same (although with some sort of indicator, so if this gets abused, users are at least aware of the possibility of impersonation.

Servers ​

Servers would act as mere relays, whose job it is is to store messages and send them to any other clients or servers that have requested to hear about any new messages. Some relays may also display these messages in a web interface, so that you can still share links to messages online. Because your identity isn't attached to any specific server, you could send your messages out to any servers you wish, and change that list as often as you'd like. It's extremely resilient to individual servers going down.

If you want a private network, say for a school or job, you could setup a relay server that requires some sort of password when sending them messages, and then have that server not federate with the rest of the fediverse.

Servers would give clients ways to subscribe to subsets of all received messages - e.g. all messages, all messages from a specific user, any replies to messages from a specific user, or "shallow" subscriptions to a message, meaning it'll send you only 1 level of replies to that message.

With a decentralized identity and the ability to switch servers seamlessly whenever you want, many of the benefits of self hosting a server are granted to everyone. This means there'll likely be fewer servers than the current fediverse has. There'll likely be enough to ensure redundancy, but beyond that I'd really only expect a couple large servers, similar to how bluesky intends AtProto to have, and perhaps smaller instances by institutions that want to provide storage for the people within that institution. Fortunately, it also means the disadvantages of only having 1 or a small number of servers also go away. We only need enough instances for redundancy, but beyond that we don't need to worry about being locked into a server or your server having rules you disagree with or anything. You'll always have your data, and can just send it to another server whenever you'd like. These fewer but larger servers will be useful for discoverability with less traffic between all the servers.

Content ​

The protocol should be fairly content agnostic, and allow arbitrary metadata on messages that can be used by the community to come up with their own new forms of content to transmit over the protocol. For example, perhaps there's a body field that could include arbitrary text or binary data, and for binary data another field could clarify if its audio, video, an image, or something else.

The signature of the message acts as the de facto ID of that message, for replying purposes. Edits and reactions would be handled by "replying" to a message with a metadata flag indicating what the message actually represents. Edit messages should typically be ignored if they're not from the same author as the original message. We should assume some servers will always make an edit history fully public. Reactions should just be replies without any actual body, and a tag for what the reaction is - either binary image data or a code representing an emoji, like "+1" or "laughing". Upvotes and downvotes could be implemented via reactions.

Edit replies could be sent by people other than the original poster as well. Perhaps some clients would trust edits from a list of identities, but the original poster could also reply to an edit message with an "accepted" message as a form of officially accepting/endorsing that edit suggestion. Clients could also potentially include a list of "proposed edits" that haven't been accepted.

Groups/communities could also be specially flagged messages, effectively allowing for subreddit-style content. Posting to the community is just replying to the message. Subscribing to that community is just subscribing to that message. The original message creator can send edits to update stuff like the description of the community. Perhaps they can also send a message detailing other identities to trust for editing or moderating the community.

A bot could fairly easily be setup to make IndieWeb posts and web mentions use this protocol. Indeed, this protocol is very POSSE-friendly because you could have your original content on the website, and the messages can be spread across the network while allowing clients to verify it was untampered with and definitely came from that website. I plan on writing a proposal for IndieWeb posts to include The IndieWeb/Signature Blocks to enable this. Within this framework, Fedi v2 would not just be a other social media silo. It would be the source of truth, fully controlled by the author. Even if the author cross posts to other social media (silos), we'd effectively still be the original copy.

Moderation ​

Anyone can send edit and delete requests as replies to messages, but they'll typically be ignored since they'd be coming from a different identity. However, you could have clients or even servers honor those requests based on various heuristics - deleting anything that's gotten X delete requests, or trust specific identities to act as moderators. Since individual clients could choose which identities to honor, the moderation is effectively fully decentralized. Clients will probably have a couple identities trusted by default, to check for illegal content or that would otherwise prevent the app from breaking the app store's TOS.

Anyone can spin up their own bots that just automatically send out delete requests based on custom logic, like checking for images that match the CSAM hash list, or messages that ChatGPT says are non-constructive. Through this, the ecosystem will over time allow people to further customize their experience by filtering out unwanted content more and more precisely.

As an alternative or complementary solution, identities could have a system by which they vouch for or against other identities, and clients could use this network of vouches to filter posts to display or retrieve. For example, a user may say they only want to see posts made by identities within a chain of 10 vouches to themselves. Upon account creation, users could be prompted to vouch for IRL friends or some popular figures within topics they care about to get started. In theory the longer the chain can be, the more varied the content a user will see, and the more likely for it to be something they disagree with. This would allow users to customize how narrow their feed is at a given time by just changing the max chain length. They can also continue vouching for more people to more precisely expand their feed. This would essentially be an alternative to how current fediverse applications block entire instances as a heuristic, so they can get rid of undesirable content while minimizing how much of it they need to see before doing so. Except in this model, you can always reach people regardless of what server they decided to use, and the controls of in the hands of the individual.

Clients could include tools to analyze their network of vouches, such as displaying all the identities within certain max lengths, or viewing what chain was followed for a specific post to have been displayed. Clients could also add additional tools to customize the chain, like being able to ignore a specific user's vouches or reposts/reblogs. They could allow specific entities, such as one representing a reddit-like community, to display all replies rather than use the network of trust, and offer controls like only counting likes from within the network when sorting the replies. They could also allow for overriding the max chain length for different contexts, such as when used for counting likes.

Success ​

I believe the main benefits of this new fediverse are mostly going to apply to the techy power users who will appreciate the increased control over their identity and browsing experience. As far as the general public goes, I think the main benefit will be verified authorship and guaranteeing lack of tampering. Specifically, I think this will appeal to notable figures who have to be wary of concerns like that. Reddit and Twitter could edit your content or stifle it in the algorithm, or any other sort of malicious actions. So I think success of this platform will mostly come from seeing notable figures switching to it, and treating is as the source of truth (even if they cross post it to other platforms for increased outreach). Ideally, they even host their messages on their own website.

Component Definitions ​

The agentic fediverse is currently being designed such that messages are entities in a Entity-Component relationship. Component schemas can then be formally defined and then implemented in clients, without the need of a centralized authority releasing formal spec bumps. In theory anyone could propose a new schema.

Here's some initial ideas for components I currently plan on proposing and perhaps even implementing:

  • Community (placeholder name): Marks that replies to this message should be displayed like a collection of threads, reddit-style.
  • Delete: Marks that this message is a deletion request to the message its a reply to.
    • Can be used to delete specific components in the parent message.
  • Edit: Marks that this message is an edit request to the message its a reply to.
    • Can be used to edit specific components in the parent message.
  • Accept: Marks that any requests in the message this message is a reply to were accepted.
    • Takes an optional schema property to identify which specific request component of the parent message was accepted.
  • Reaction: Marks that this message is a reaction to the message its a reply to.
  • Ascii: Describes a text component to be rendered.
  • Unicode: Describes a text component to be rendered.
  • Image: Describes an image component to be rendered. (Or perhaps specific file formats should have their own schemas)
  • Audio: Describes an audio component to be rendered. (Or perhaps specific file formats should have their own schemas)
  • Video: Describes a video component to be rendered. (Or perhaps specific file formats should have their own schemas)
  • Topics: Describes a list of topics/tags this message is relevant to, for use in client searching and filtering.
  • Editors: Describes a list of identities who have the power to edit this message, or accept edit requests to this message.
  • Deleters: Describes a list of identities who have the power to delete this message, or accept deletion requests to this message.
  • No Discovery: Marks that this message should not be included in any global feeds or search results. Servers should only send it to servers and clients that subscribe to messages like this one.
  • Timestamp Requested: Marks that this message would like to receive a response from a trusted server (optionally defined in the component data) once it is delivered. May also include a schema ID that represents what the timestamp represents. Defaults to referring to the published date.
  • Calendar Event: Describes a calendar event.
  • RSVP: Marks that you [are, might be, or aren't] participating in whatever a linked entity is describing.

Chatting ​

The agentic fediverse could theoretically also implement chat rooms, bringing advantages (like divorcing identity from servers) that current decentralized chat protocols like matrix don't offer.

Here are some of the components that could be used to represent a chat room:

  • Chat room: Marks that replies to this message should be shown as messages in a chat room.
  • Bridge: Marks that this identity is a bridge for an account on another service. Implies that the verification of authorship may not be preserved.

Games ​

The agentic fediverse could support sharing games using a Game component that includes a url or raw html required to play a game. In theory they could even support "cloud saves" by signing a message of their save data that only they can decrypt and sending it as a reply to the game message. Clients could handle displaying the game alongside the usual filtering and sorting features.

I'd also be excited in seeing a sort of MMO style game on the agentic fediverse. So you see other players and there's a shared game state, calculated on the client based on the actions recorded by the various different players. And since the rules would have to be defined by the components, people could create their own copies of the world (e.g. to play with a friend group or solo), or even make their own mods of the game. I'd like to look into that. I'll perhaps rethink Chromatic Lattice to work on such a framework, although it may be too complicated for this idea.

Having the game state be calculatable by the client like that would also allow trophies and achievements to work verifiably. People could probably still write software to copy someone else's events at the right times and effectively replicate their save, but I think that won't happen commonly enough to matter.

Permissions ​

Instead of having various different licenses like CC0, MIT, etc., just make each permission discrete. For example, you can have a DoNotTrainOn component that marks that using an entity for training AI models is not allowed.

This is different from the willow permissions system which determines who can read or write to specific entities/paths. This is for telling someone who has read access to your post what they're allowed to use it for.

There should be a component that makes permissions explicit rather than implicit. E.g. assume you don't have the right to do anything unless explicitly stated.

Local identity and contact management ​

If I have multiple apps that use the agentic fediverse (e.g. one for reddit like content, one for Twitter, discord, Google drive, etc.), I'd like to easily have them all use the same identity(s), as well as a shared contact list (so I know the person I saw do something on one app is the same as the person that did something on another app).

To that end, there should be an app/program that manages your identities and contacts on that device. It sets up your initial identity, any cloud backups, etc., and the other apps talk to it as needed. That could be sending it individual messages to sign or asking for a key that can be used to do limited functionality.

Contacts could be signed such that they're only readable by us, and then sent over the network so I can have multiple devices that keep their contact list synced between them

An identity management app could also work as a link handler for the leaf protocol. It could take a schema ID as another path component, which then describes the purpose of the URI and the expected remaining data in the URI. The identity management app can then pass the message along to any app that has specified it knows how to handle that schema.

Sustainability ​

Servers are expensive, especially as they get popular. Most current fediverse instances are free and funded by donations. Things like ads or paying for an account are difficult to do due to the nature of federation. This is a pretty major problem because if a server becomes too expensive to host, it will shut down, along with all the accounts associated with it. Fedi v2 makes individual servers going down not be an issue anymore, since identities aren't attached to them. However, it's an issue if all the instances go down, and if there's no way to pay for them still, why would any instance stay up?

Since instance nodes do not have to do filtering, sorting, or really any other processing, but rather just serving the events and sending out notifications to clients, the cost will be cheaper than the current fediverse. It's really just a file server, which is cheap. For example, idrive charges $40 per tb per year, which is enough for a LOT of content. So I expect some instance nodes to have fairly generous free tiers that will suffice for a lot of users. Idrive also doesn't have egress charges, so the cost only scales with how much content is being published, not downloaded.

For power users, instance nodes could accept payments to store data above the free quota. This would likely most often happen for people wishing to upload high resolution images or videos. A user could also switch nodes after filling a quota on one node - you don't have to delete your content on the old instance. You could also do this to backup your content on multiple nodes (although you should also keep a local copy of all your content).

I assume this aspect of Fedi v2 will be the most controversial - people really like free services, and are expecting it. Knowing they might eventually need to pay to post more will perhaps require a cultural shift. I think it's worth it to not have ads or tracking, and in general we should be supporting sustainable services.

What about Incremental Social? ​

I think Incremental Social can operate similarly to weird.one, hosting an iroh node and storing events for the agentic fediverse for users of the site. We'll generate and manage a keypair for the user, with the possibility of the user migrating their identity.

I suspect the way the identity management app will work to support sites like weird.one and incremental.social is by passing the request for a delegate key to incremental.social, which will then show the consent screen before passing the key back to the app which sends it to the actual fediverse app.

Additionally, I'm risking that the community at that instance won't grow away from things I want to associate with, such as fascism or crypto. My identity could end up being associated with things I drastically don't want it to be.

Nostr fixes the pick a server problem with a properly decentralized identity, however it's done so by associating itself with crypto and the alt right, and fixing that culture problem is more effort than it's worth. It'll be difficult to gain broad adoption as anyone using the platform will have to take care to explain how they're using nostr but aren't alt right.

ATProto by bluesky offers a version of federation built for a handful of large instances, but allowing smaller servers to be spun up that can implement custom sorting algorithms, views, etc. Your identity can be tied to a domain you own, if you have one. This fixes a couple of the problems where you're unable to change certain things dictated by the servers, but doesn't quite go far enough. Their PDS system is very similar to what we're going for, but it's still tied to signing up at (and then relying upon) specific servers.

NextGraph looks very similar to what we're trying to build. My only note is really that it gives a bit of a crypto vibe through decisions like calling identities "wallets" that I think may make it fall into the same problems nostr has, but conceptually its really similar to everything discussed here, which is great! It should be incredibly easy to interoperate, at the very least.

Identity

The new fediverse should have a fully Decentralized Identity, where it's completely attached to the client rather than any server(s). This means you don't have to pick a server, worry about your chosen server going down, or that yout identity will become associated with an undesired community. It can properly allow you to engage in your variety of interests without having to associate any as core enough to attach your identity to.

This identity can be accomplished by the client merely generating a private and public key, which can then be stored however the user pleases. Reasonably, there's be default options to back up the private key to Google drive or alternatives, as most users will not desire to go the extra effort of backing up their identity without relying on big storage websites. But for those who wish, you could keep the identity solely on the device, or choose your own method of storage and backup.

The client can sign messages using the private key and distribute it through whatever means they wish, and it can be verified as sent by that identity using the public key to decode the message. In this context, messages could also refer to any other signed information, such as a bundle of profile information.

For casual conversation, a nickname in the profile data should be sufficient. Once a client interacts with someone, they can be added as a contact as a way of verifying the next conversation with someone with that username is actually the same person as before. For situations where you want to verify an identity actually has a credentials they claim, you can query a nameserver that vouches for them. For example, whitehouse.gov would have a nameserver that specifies which identity is the actual president of the United States (and other government officials). There could be nameservers that allow you to openly "register" your identity with them to get a unique human readable username you can include on billboards or other visual media where you want someone to be able to memorize the identifier, rather than scan a QR code or something. For more details on how these decentralized usernames would work, check out Petnames.

Through cryptography, you can be confident messages are verifiably sent by someone with access to the private key, and that the message was not tampered with. These are guarantees you can't make with the current server centric fediverse.

If you lose access to your account, it's gone forever. That is why I think there should be defaults to backup your private key to existing reliable servers, even if they're owned by large corporations. Otherwise I would see someone have their phone stolen, lost, or upgraded and be surprised when their account is now inaccessible.

If you do lose your account and create a new identity, you could have others "vouch" for the new identity being an alias for the previous identity. You could verify your new identity with people IRL, and then other clients can see those vouches publicly and, after sufficient quantity, just implicitly assume they're the same (although with some sort of indicator, so if this gets abused, users are at least aware of the possibility of impersonation.

Servers ​

Servers would act as mere relays, whose job it is is to store messages and send them to any other clients or servers that have requested to hear about any new messages. Some relays may also display these messages in a web interface, so that you can still share links to messages online. Because your identity isn't attached to any specific server, you could send your messages out to any servers you wish, and change that list as often as you'd like. It's extremely resilient to individual servers going down.

If you want a private network, say for a school or job, you could setup a relay server that requires some sort of password when sending them messages, and then have that server not federate with the rest of the fediverse.

Servers would give clients ways to subscribe to subsets of all received messages - e.g. all messages, all messages from a specific user, any replies to messages from a specific user, or "shallow" subscriptions to a message, meaning it'll send you only 1 level of replies to that message.

With a decentralized identity and the ability to switch servers seamlessly whenever you want, many of the benefits of self hosting a server are granted to everyone. This means there'll likely be fewer servers than the current fediverse has. There'll likely be enough to ensure redundancy, but beyond that I'd really only expect a couple large servers, similar to how bluesky intends AtProto to have, and perhaps smaller instances by institutions that want to provide storage for the people within that institution. Fortunately, it also means the disadvantages of only having 1 or a small number of servers also go away. We only need enough instances for redundancy, but beyond that we don't need to worry about being locked into a server or your server having rules you disagree with or anything. You'll always have your data, and can just send it to another server whenever you'd like. These fewer but larger servers will be useful for discoverability with less traffic between all the servers.

Content ​

The protocol should be fairly content agnostic, and allow arbitrary metadata on messages that can be used by the community to come up with their own new forms of content to transmit over the protocol. For example, perhaps there's a body field that could include arbitrary text or binary data, and for binary data another field could clarify if its audio, video, an image, or something else.

The signature of the message acts as the de facto ID of that message, for replying purposes. Edits and reactions would be handled by "replying" to a message with a metadata flag indicating what the message actually represents. Edit messages should typically be ignored if they're not from the same author as the original message. We should assume some servers will always make an edit history fully public. Reactions should just be replies without any actual body, and a tag for what the reaction is - either binary image data or a code representing an emoji, like "+1" or "laughing". Upvotes and downvotes could be implemented via reactions.

Edit replies could be sent by people other than the original poster as well. Perhaps some clients would trust edits from a list of identities, but the original poster could also reply to an edit message with an "accepted" message as a form of officially accepting/endorsing that edit suggestion. Clients could also potentially include a list of "proposed edits" that haven't been accepted.

Groups/communities could also be specially flagged messages, effectively allowing for subreddit-style content. Posting to the community is just replying to the message. Subscribing to that community is just subscribing to that message. The original message creator can send edits to update stuff like the description of the community. Perhaps they can also send a message detailing other identities to trust for editing or moderating the community.

A bot could fairly easily be setup to make IndieWeb posts and web mentions use this protocol. Indeed, this protocol is very POSSE-friendly because you could have your original content on the website, and the messages can be spread across the network while allowing clients to verify it was untampered with and definitely came from that website. I plan on writing a proposal for IndieWeb posts to include The IndieWeb/Signature Blocks to enable this. Within this framework, Fedi v2 would not just be a other social media silo. It would be the source of truth, fully controlled by the author. Even if the author cross posts to other social media (silos), we'd effectively still be the original copy.

Moderation ​

Anyone can send edit and delete requests as replies to messages, but they'll typically be ignored since they'd be coming from a different identity. However, you could have clients or even servers honor those requests based on various heuristics - deleting anything that's gotten X delete requests, or trust specific identities to act as moderators. Since individual clients could choose which identities to honor, the moderation is effectively fully decentralized. Clients will probably have a couple identities trusted by default, to check for illegal content or that would otherwise prevent the app from breaking the app store's TOS.

Anyone can spin up their own bots that just automatically send out delete requests based on custom logic, like checking for images that match the CSAM hash list, or messages that ChatGPT says are non-constructive. Through this, the ecosystem will over time allow people to further customize their experience by filtering out unwanted content more and more precisely.

As an alternative or complementary solution, identities could have a system by which they vouch for or against other identities, and clients could use this network of vouches to filter posts to display or retrieve. For example, a user may say they only want to see posts made by identities within a chain of 10 vouches to themselves. Upon account creation, users could be prompted to vouch for IRL friends or some popular figures within topics they care about to get started. In theory the longer the chain can be, the more varied the content a user will see, and the more likely for it to be something they disagree with. This would allow users to customize how narrow their feed is at a given time by just changing the max chain length. They can also continue vouching for more people to more precisely expand their feed. This would essentially be an alternative to how current fediverse applications block entire instances as a heuristic, so they can get rid of undesirable content while minimizing how much of it they need to see before doing so. Except in this model, you can always reach people regardless of what server they decided to use, and the controls of in the hands of the individual.

Clients could include tools to analyze their network of vouches, such as displaying all the identities within certain max lengths, or viewing what chain was followed for a specific post to have been displayed. Clients could also add additional tools to customize the chain, like being able to ignore a specific user's vouches or reposts/reblogs. They could allow specific entities, such as one representing a reddit-like community, to display all replies rather than use the network of trust, and offer controls like only counting likes from within the network when sorting the replies. They could also allow for overriding the max chain length for different contexts, such as when used for counting likes.

Success ​

I believe the main benefits of this new fediverse are mostly going to apply to the techy power users who will appreciate the increased control over their identity and browsing experience. As far as the general public goes, I think the main benefit will be verified authorship and guaranteeing lack of tampering. Specifically, I think this will appeal to notable figures who have to be wary of concerns like that. Reddit and Twitter could edit your content or stifle it in the algorithm, or any other sort of malicious actions. So I think success of this platform will mostly come from seeing notable figures switching to it, and treating is as the source of truth (even if they cross post it to other platforms for increased outreach). Ideally, they even host their messages on their own website.

Component Definitions ​

The agentic fediverse is currently being designed such that messages are entities in a Entity-Component relationship. Component schemas can then be formally defined and then implemented in clients, without the need of a centralized authority releasing formal spec bumps. In theory anyone could propose a new schema.

Here's some initial ideas for components I currently plan on proposing and perhaps even implementing:

  • Community (placeholder name): Marks that replies to this message should be displayed like a collection of threads, reddit-style.
  • Delete: Marks that this message is a deletion request to the message its a reply to.
    • Can be used to delete specific components in the parent message.
  • Edit: Marks that this message is an edit request to the message its a reply to.
    • Can be used to edit specific components in the parent message.
  • Accept: Marks that any requests in the message this message is a reply to were accepted.
    • Takes an optional schema property to identify which specific request component of the parent message was accepted.
  • Reaction: Marks that this message is a reaction to the message its a reply to.
  • Ascii: Describes a text component to be rendered.
  • Unicode: Describes a text component to be rendered.
  • Image: Describes an image component to be rendered. (Or perhaps specific file formats should have their own schemas)
  • Audio: Describes an audio component to be rendered. (Or perhaps specific file formats should have their own schemas)
  • Video: Describes a video component to be rendered. (Or perhaps specific file formats should have their own schemas)
  • Topics: Describes a list of topics/tags this message is relevant to, for use in client searching and filtering.
  • Editors: Describes a list of identities who have the power to edit this message, or accept edit requests to this message.
  • Deleters: Describes a list of identities who have the power to delete this message, or accept deletion requests to this message.
  • No Discovery: Marks that this message should not be included in any global feeds or search results. Servers should only send it to servers and clients that subscribe to messages like this one.
  • Timestamp Requested: Marks that this message would like to receive a response from a trusted server (optionally defined in the component data) once it is delivered. May also include a schema ID that represents what the timestamp represents. Defaults to referring to the published date.
  • Calendar Event: Describes a calendar event.
  • RSVP: Marks that you [are, might be, or aren't] participating in whatever a linked entity is describing.

Chatting ​

The agentic fediverse could theoretically also implement chat rooms, bringing advantages (like divorcing identity from servers) that current decentralized chat protocols like matrix don't offer.

Here are some of the components that could be used to represent a chat room:

  • Chat room: Marks that replies to this message should be shown as messages in a chat room.
  • Bridge: Marks that this identity is a bridge for an account on another service. Implies that the verification of authorship may not be preserved.

Games ​

The agentic fediverse could support sharing games using a Game component that includes a url or raw html required to play a game. In theory they could even support "cloud saves" by signing a message of their save data that only they can decrypt and sending it as a reply to the game message. Clients could handle displaying the game alongside the usual filtering and sorting features.

I'd also be excited in seeing a sort of MMO style game on the agentic fediverse. So you see other players and there's a shared game state, calculated on the client based on the actions recorded by the various different players. And since the rules would have to be defined by the components, people could create their own copies of the world (e.g. to play with a friend group or solo), or even make their own mods of the game. I'd like to look into that. I'll perhaps rethink Chromatic Lattice to work on such a framework, although it may be too complicated for this idea.

Having the game state be calculatable by the client like that would also allow trophies and achievements to work verifiably. People could probably still write software to copy someone else's events at the right times and effectively replicate their save, but I think that won't happen commonly enough to matter.

Permissions ​

Instead of having various different licenses like CC0, MIT, etc., just make each permission discrete. For example, you can have a DoNotTrainOn component that marks that using an entity for training AI models is not allowed.

This is different from the willow permissions system which determines who can read or write to specific entities/paths. This is for telling someone who has read access to your post what they're allowed to use it for.

There should be a component that makes permissions explicit rather than implicit. E.g. assume you don't have the right to do anything unless explicitly stated.

Local identity and contact management ​

If I have multiple apps that use the agentic fediverse (e.g. one for reddit like content, one for Twitter, discord, Google drive, etc.), I'd like to easily have them all use the same identity(s), as well as a shared contact list (so I know the person I saw do something on one app is the same as the person that did something on another app).

To that end, there should be an app/program that manages your identities and contacts on that device. It sets up your initial identity, any cloud backups, etc., and the other apps talk to it as needed. That could be sending it individual messages to sign or asking for a key that can be used to do limited functionality.

Contacts could be signed such that they're only readable by us, and then sent over the network so I can have multiple devices that keep their contact list synced between them

An identity management app could also work as a link handler for the leaf protocol. It could take a schema ID as another path component, which then describes the purpose of the URI and the expected remaining data in the URI. The identity management app can then pass the message along to any app that has specified it knows how to handle that schema.

Sustainability ​

Servers are expensive, especially as they get popular. Most current fediverse instances are free and funded by donations. Things like ads or paying for an account are difficult to do due to the nature of federation. This is a pretty major problem because if a server becomes too expensive to host, it will shut down, along with all the accounts associated with it. Fedi v2 makes individual servers going down not be an issue anymore, since identities aren't attached to them. However, it's an issue if all the instances go down, and if there's no way to pay for them still, why would any instance stay up?

Since instance nodes do not have to do filtering, sorting, or really any other processing, but rather just serving the events and sending out notifications to clients, the cost will be cheaper than the current fediverse. It's really just a file server, which is cheap. For example, idrive charges $40 per tb per year, which is enough for a LOT of content. So I expect some instance nodes to have fairly generous free tiers that will suffice for a lot of users. Idrive also doesn't have egress charges, so the cost only scales with how much content is being published, not downloaded.

For power users, instance nodes could accept payments to store data above the free quota. This would likely most often happen for people wishing to upload high resolution images or videos. A user could also switch nodes after filling a quota on one node - you don't have to delete your content on the old instance. You could also do this to backup your content on multiple nodes (although you should also keep a local copy of all your content).

I assume this aspect of Fedi v2 will be the most controversial - people really like free services, and are expecting it. Knowing they might eventually need to pay to post more will perhaps require a cultural shift. I think it's worth it to not have ads or tracking, and in general we should be supporting sustainable services.

What about Incremental Social? ​

I think Incremental Social can operate similarly to weird.one, hosting an iroh node and storing events for the agentic fediverse for users of the site. We'll generate and manage a keypair for the user, with the possibility of the user migrating their identity.

I suspect the way the identity management app will work to support sites like weird.one and incremental.social is by passing the request for a delegate key to incremental.social, which will then show the consent screen before passing the key back to the app which sends it to the actual fediverse app.

Filter Bubbles

Filter bubbles refer to how users may be intellectually isolated as a result of Social Media with algorithmic feeds, coupled with things like personalized search engine results and other services catering to someone's existing preferences and world views.

Are you in a filter bubble? ​

Absolutely, and without a doubt. Filter bubbles fractal inside each other, and most of them are entirely innocuous - they're not the scary boogeyman they've been portrayed as. If your search results are primarily English - you may be in a filter bubble. If the news you watch covers domestic issues within your country more than domestic issues in other countries - you may be in a filter bubble. If the local news you watch covers the weather in your local area but not in areas halfway across the globe - you may be in a filter bubble. These are not significantly contributing to the "intellectual isolation" filter bubbles are said to create, and no one is arguing we must be equally aware of the local weather across the world.

So yes, you're in a filter bubble - likely many, even. But that's not the right question to be asking; We must delve deeper into filter bubbles' causes and manifestations to determine what their negative aspects are and ultimately how to fix them.

Filter bubbles in search engines ​

The author of The Filter Bubble describes what is supposed to be a chilling story of a search for BP giving results on investment opportunities to one person, and news about the oil spill disaster to another. They posit this is indicative of a problem, but I question that the personalized search results did anything wrong here. Searching BP just by itself is a "neutral" search, and so I think its fine for it to have shown results based on what its learned that user usually looks companies up for. The implication is that the former is an individual who regularly searches companies to see their current investment opportunities, and got what they wanted. If this person were to suddenly want to, say, write a report on BP's history or ecological impact, they'd naturally search for something more specific than just "BP", and certainly find the results they're looking for. And of course, there's layers to this - Google is also figuring out what search results the average person usually wants when searching a given term, and ranking those higher. So the more people search for BP to get info on the disaster, the more prominent that disaster will be.

The problems stem from the various biases we all bring with us when researching anything, whether we're in a filter bubble or not. In this regard, filter bubbles are just automated applications of our own biases. For example, if you're researching the impact of the BP ecological disaster, your pre-conceived notions over its impact - and perhaps your personal financial interests - will dictate which sources you read at all, or ultimately decide to reference or ignore when discussing the issue with others. And to be clear, all sources will have a bias. There is no such thing as Objectivity, and even seemingly "neutral" outlets are implicitly defending the status quo of society.

I think most of you may relate to this, because we're all guilty of it, myself included. I've certainly shared news articles based on the headline, and perhaps even spend a bit too much time writing and not enough reading. Research papers in particular are incredibly dry and most people will only read articles about the paper, which may not be accurate, or perhaps only read the abstract, which may not be thorough. I'm keenly aware when citing a source that its unlikely someone will actually follow that link, to the point where it almost feels futile. Perhaps even now you're only skimming this page? Taken together, it seems an article existing with a given headline is more important than any arguments held within it.

Filter bubbles in social media ​

The more insidious issue of filter bubbles is when it applies passively, such as when you're on social media and simply don't see anything about an important topic, say the BP oil spill. But actually, part of the issue here isn't just not seeing the post, as even if someone sees posts about the event, they may be tainted with biases towards their existing world view, and the reader will just accept that interpretation at face value. After all, most users are not going to see a headline and start doing independent research to verify the claims held within the article. Hell, most won't even go as far as reading the article itself - as has been studied many times, sometimes in quite amusing widely shared but fake "prank" articles.

Even if you click a link, you may just skim the results. This is a problem because people are not reading articles to actually learn from them, but rather to confirm their pre-existing opinions on the topic. With that reassurance in hand, they'll share the articles and feel more confident they actually understand the topic.

A lot of the articles even available to share on social media are being crafted especially to be sharable using clickbait, caring more for covering topics profitably rather than ethically. AI slop has significantly compounded this issue by being able to mass produce articles that wholly lack meaningful insight, and is now a major problem for both search engines and social media platforms.

All the biases described above contribute to an especially problematic aspect of filter bubbles: the spreading of misinformation. If people are unwilling to verify provocative but ultimately wrong claims they read in a headline, then how do we fix that? There are different approaches people have suggested: algorithmic suppression by a independent organization tasked with verifying articles' legitimacy like Facebook, relying on community-driven notes like Twitter, or just trying to shift the culture to engage with social media more productively/healthily.

Are safe spaces filter bubbles? ​

The internet is a dangerous place, especially for members of marginalized groups. There are a lot of -phobes in the world, and the internet gives them a platform to harass far more widespread than before. It takes concerted effort to keep them out of communities, as described by Innuendo Studios' How to radicalize a normie. I think we should all be in agreement that it is entirely fine for people to want to filter out this kind of hateful content. So safe spaces are filter bubbles, but also are good and important things to have access to.

I bring this up to really drive home that filter bubbles are not intrinsically good or bad. They happen innocuously and are even beneficial for filtering out certain kinds of content. It's important any solution to the issues with filter bubbles focuses doesn't involve exposing people to, say, those who'd like to see them dead.

The line doesn't have to be at hateful content though. There's any number of content someone may want to filter out - gore, SA, or other PTSD triggers. Ultimately the line is subjective, and where the line is shouldn't be restricted or imposed. Empathy is the key here, and the same way a trans person shouldn't be encouraged to interact with transphobes, no one should be encouraged to engage in any social interactions they deem uncomfortable, even if others don't think it's uncomfortable.

Filtering politics ​

In the previous section I proposed that allowing people to decide what they want to see should is important. Most people can, I imagine, agree with that, barring one notable and often contested exception: politics. Our liberal democracy insists that universal political engagement is required for it to function properly. While I agree politics are critically important, politics should not be an exception that people "must" be subjected to regardless of their consent.

First off, everything is political. Politics have shaped every institution, norm, and cultural artifact in our society. They both reflect and reproduce the power dynamics created by our politics. The reason for anything to not be deemed political is because they've been normalized; the "apolitical" position is typically one aligned with dominant systems of power, such as capitalism, patriarchy, or white supremacy. If everyone agrees on something, it must not be political. As the "How to radicalize a normie" video linked earlier uses as an example: saying "Nazis are bad" might feel apolitical because it reflects a societal consensus, but saying "feminism is good" challenges entrenched norms and becomes "political". This video also goes over how essentially everything is political, through the framework of searching for an "apolitical" video game. Essentially, politics affect all of us and everything is political, and if you believe politics don't effect you, that's probably because the current political and economic systems work in your favor. Privilege doesn't make you feel special, it makes the world feel "normal".

Second, some political topics are deeply personal and emotionally exhausting to engage with, particularly for those marginalized under the current power structures. For example, trans rights are an extremely important political issue, but demanding that trans people continually defend their very existence against reactionary attacks amounts to a form of re-traumatization. People not being exposed to these kinds of upsetting things is not a problem to be solved, and democracy can survive while allowing people to filter out political topics or perspectives they don't want to see. You do not need to tolerate the intolerant (as argued by Karl Popper, who coined the term "paradox of tolerance").

Lastly, this constant pressure to debate is simply not productive. Individuals are often far less interested in arriving at the right answer than they are in winning the debate. Understanding theory and coming to the correct conclusion is a far different skillset compared to debating, and engaging in debates often just further entrenches us in our beliefs regardless of their actual legitimacy. Debaters are all too often ones not directly affected by these policies due to their position of privilege, and for them politics are a purely academic affair with no "real" consequences. Debaters are especially a problem for culturally relevant personalities who receive large amounts of criticisms from people who all demand to have their concerns individually argued against. This practice is called "sea lioning" after this comic. The issue is the sheer amount of criticism, the mental and emotional drain filtering through it can be, and the nebulousness of what even is "valid criticism". Innuendo Studios discussed this concept in Why Don't You Respond to Criticism?.

Admittedly, as a Leftist, I desire revolutionary change and see such transformation as necessary before this framework of consent can fully hold true. Today, the drive to filter out politics often stems from alienation or reactionary thinking—a symptom of a capitalist system designed to depoliticize and pacify the masses. While I respect individual consent, I believe that disrupting the status quo through discomfort is sometimes essential, as liberation requires collective, organized resistance.

Radicalization ​

"Radicalization" is a nebulous term that's been used for a variety of purposes. The ACLU, for example, warns against its usage by saying this:

The government’s “radicalization” theory has become a euphemism for religious and ideological profiling. It leads to discrimination and stigmatization, and is fundamentally un-American. Casting suspicion on American faith or belief communities is wrong and does nothing to make us safer.

Personally, I think the term has been decontextualized a bit, as I see it used today to describe people moving to the left or right. In leftist communities, sharing "what radicalized you" is commonplace and not stigmatized. I think what most accurately describes radicalization is that it's the process of people moving outside the spectrum of acceptable opinion, which in American politics goes from the Republican part to the Democratic party. All other opinions are largely seen as extremist or otherwise untenable. Noam Chomsky describes how this framing perpetuates itself like this:

The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum—even encourage the more critical and dissident views. That gives people the sense that there's free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate. - Noam Chomsky

So, personally, I don't see radicalization as an inherent issue because the current spectrum of acceptable opinion is atrocious (and, separately, an example of a filter bubble that encapsulates most of the US). I'm biased, as by my own definition I'm a radical, but I don't think radicalization should be a reason to fight against filter bubbles. Suppressing it is ultimately a way of enforcing the status quo and enabling those at the top of the status quo to perpetuate their reign.

Of course, I do want to stop people from radicalizing towards fascism. But the solution isn't to restrict all "extremist" content so that only the acceptable opinions are allowed, because fascism is acceptable! The spectrum I've been discussing is so far right that fascist and genocidal rhetoric are normal in our presidential elections and takes like "I won't vote for genocide" are met with "but ending the genocide isn't on the table". Combatting extremism explicitly means supporting our rightwards trend towards fascism.

Jubilee exemplifies the issues I'm discussing here with shows like "middle ground". Besides their clear bias in picking media trained individuals for the right but not the left, they also place the "middle ground" as being between the far right position and a moderate/central position. Funnily enough, it's a great example of why middle grounds as a concept are not intrinsically better than the extremes, as often claimed (again, in defense of the status quo). Drawing a middle point is arbitrary and tied to whatever the currently established spectrum of acceptable opinion happens to be. I recommend this podcast episode that explores the issues with Jubilee and the "free market of ideas". Naturally, they also uphold the principle that marginalized groups should be expected to relive their traumatic experiences with those who wish them harm, under the justification that democracy falls without that.

Echo Chambers vs Filter Bubbles ​

I've been mostly referring to filter bubbles all this time, but it's time to make an important distinction that will really tie this whole thing together. Filter bubbles are simply having preferences towards the kind of content you see being reflected by algorithms. They can be emergent or intentional, are often innocuous and even helpful, and sometimes may be bad. They have no intrinsic moral value.

Echo Chambers is the term for when filter bubbles turn bad. This is the term for when those inside a filter bubble turn against those outside it. When the only portrayal of those outside the bubble are hateful caricatures from those within it. This is truly where the hateful content and misinformation comes from. Echo Chambers are the problem to solve. But since they're composed of two parts - filter bubbles and hateful content and misinformation - we have a choice for approaching the problem.

Traditionally, people argue the solution to echo chambers is removing the filter bubbles. That if people are simply exposed to more ideas, the echo chamber goes away. As discussed earlier, this cannot be accepted when some of those ideas actively wish harm upon you.

The other approach is just solving the issues with misinformation and hateful content directly. They cannot be tolerated, and should be entirely suppressed. Free speech should not protect people actively doing harm upon others.

Moderating away hate and misinformation ​

So if the issue isn't the filter bubbles but rather hateful content and misinformation... what do we do to combat it?

On an individual level, we can try to improve our media literacy and spread accurate information with positive values like DEI and class consciousness. Every person counts, although the system is working against us currently.

On a systemic level, a new social media can be designed so they are more protected from misinformation spreading. For example, by allowing users to publicly "vouch" for other users for writing and sharing accurate posts, forming a web of trust/reputation. Also designing the network so those who are popular are not prioritized in algorithmic feeds, essentially centralizing influence into the hands of the few. I explore this topic and other aspects to a radical new social media network in Fedi v2 and Digital Locality.

Taking a step back, several of these issues described - clickbait and spam, specifically - only exist due to financial incentives brought on by our capitalist system. Additionally, Capitalism is the reason for people not having the time, energy, or motivation to more healthily approach social media and combat misinformation. Therefore, we need a Leftist shift to fix these problems and bring us to a more media literate society free of influencers and advertisers. It's the only long term solution.

Message gardening ​

This is largely theoretical, but something I've been thinking of a lot about are Digital Gardens, and I think the philosophy of them could lead to a different kind of solution to tackling hate and misinformation. Right now a lot of news and discourse about said news is essentially frozen in time. Corrections to stories never get as much attention as the original incorrect story. We have the same discussions over and over again. I thinking we could improve this situation by explicitly framing social media as a tool for building a network of knowledge, like a wiki (or rather, a communal digital garden).

This is something that would need to be explored more before it could be implemented, but I'm sort of envisioning something like twitter's community notes system alongside something like Commune where informal discussions are part of a process of continuously updating a formal document about the topic/event, with new developments, perspectives, and context. I think structuring social media this way, and updating people of important changes to these formal documents people have read or participated in, could lead to a more well informed populace.

Further Reading ​

Everything discussed in this article falls under the field of sociology, so you may be interested in looking more into that study. I recommend a few of the games by Nicky Case, which share a common thread of exploring sociological concepts:

Gender is a tricky subject, and there are many conflicting frameworks that have been proposed for defining gender and measuring its impact, and other such aspects of it. Judith Butler, for example, controversially describes gender as a performance); We observe how people act, what they seem to enjoy, and what roles they fill in society based on their gender, and then we (often subconsciously) perform similarly, perpetuating the cycle. That makes gender a Social Construct.

Gender is a very sensitive topic, especially as people's identities are constantly under attack within the west. I'd like to make it explicitly clear I support any and all gender identities, and re-affirm that just because something is a construct does not mean its bad or useless. It just means society has decided to give it meaning, and I think gender will be very meaningful to people for a very very long time. These frameworks used for analyzing it and determining its utility are some nice philosophical exercises, but above all it should be clear any political goal should be to eliminate discrimination against marginalized peoples.

There are some people who believe gender is an exclusively unuseful and negative social construct and should be entirely abolished, and see this act as a requirement for liberating queer people and women. You'll see plenty of people push back on this idea, saying they like their genders, though, and sometimes even trying to co-opt "gender abolitionism" as referring to only abolishing gender roles rather than gender itself as a construct. It's seen as a stance that essentially invalidates the motivation behind so many people going through great efforts to transition from one gender to another. An even more pessimistic stance on gender abolition sees it as a return to biological sex, even further erasing the plights of trans people. However, I think as society progresses towards post-scarcity, a lot of constructs will over time see a natural end as they become less useful, and I do think we'll eventually see a post-gender society where everyone is just "themselves", and the realm of self expression is massively expanded, but no longer sees a need for gender as a construct.

Alright, with that established it's time for another controversial take: Biological sex is also a social construct. Sex is a term used to refer to a collection of underlying natural properties from which sex determining genes one has, which sex chromosomes are present, how much of each sex hormone gets produced, which genitals one has, which hormones get processed, what happens during puberty, and so on. Besides the fact there's plenty of people who don't have every single of the above properties cleanly fit into the same bucket, the fact we choose to imbue those properties with meaning makes them a construct as well, and in fact we imbued them with so much meaning we built our entire society around it. Sure, we created gender as a way of abstracting the roles in the society from the natural properties, but ultimately they're both just as arbitrary distinctions we collectively chose to make. And yet, positioning gender as the social construct and biological sex as the "objective" underlying property, you open the door to essentially continue discriminating against a significant amount of the population, using "truth" and "science" to justify their position.

To be clear, I'm not saying biology doesn't matter (and neither does anyone else who argues sex is also a social construct). Obviously someone with a uterus is going to have different medical risks and opportunities than someone without. But using the presence of that uterus to socially and culturally discriminate against someone is not okay. In fact, society placing importance on the number of years spent at a job is a form of discriminating against people who choose to take time off work to be a parent, even if their actual ability to perform that job is not impacted at all. This impacts both career trajectory as well as making it more difficult to even get some jobs in the first place. I recommend Biological sex is a social construct for further exploration into this concept.

Identity, Gender, and VRChat explores how VRChat has enabled people to explore their gender expression and other parts of their identity in a low risk and very accepting environment. I haven't used VRChat myself, but that sounds like an amazing resource for people to be able to use, and honestly makes me hope socializing in VR becomes an increasingly normalized and accessible activity.

Gerrymandering

926 words, ~5 minute read. Planted -.

Gerrymandering, or the deliberate outlining of voting districts in order to consolidate or spread out voters who you expect to vote similarly to each other, is typically portrayed as an unambiguously unfair thing to do. And I (typically) agree! But there are some interesting caveats that illustrate how illusory our concept of fairness really is, that demonstrate it is in fact a Social Construct. For example, Louisiana's most recent redistricting (in 2024) stirred up controversy for a new district, district 6, being drawn with very weird borders, specifically to ensure it has a majority of black voters who were previously more spread out across the districts. This is classic gerrymandering that makes it so that voting bloc determines the result of that district and the one already existing majority black district, but has nominal impact on any of the other 4 districts. But this process is actually being argued to be more fair to black voters, because previous congressional maps, despite appearing more fair, were not very proportional to race by only having 1 majority black district versus 5 majority white districts. This is the racial composition of Louisiana based on census data from 2017 to 2021, and the new congressional map highlighting the 2 districts that are majority black:

Source: [Democracy Docket](https://www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/new-louisiana-congressional-map-with-two-majority-black-districts-heads-to-governor/)

Having 2 districts means black voters are represented by 1/3 of the districts, which is remarkably proportional, considering they make up 32% of the population. In this way, the gerrymandering is being employed to make the district representation more proportional by race, which groups like the NAACP argue makes them more fair. I agree with their assessment and think this will make Louisiana much more fair, and that's awesome. Naturally, it is being sued for its obvious gerrymandering however, with arguments that it is making the election less fair, under the definition that gerrymandering is intrinsically unfair.

Both sides of the argument are dealing with conflicting definitions of fairness. Determining it based on how close to square each district ends up is just as arbitrary as making them proportional by race. They could have been proportional by age or party or hobby. And in any case, 6 representatives means the proportions are going to be very crude proportions in anyways - the racial composition showed no other races reached the ~1/6 of a population required to be given a single representative, so is it "fair" that they don't get any representative of their own? And is it even fair to be treating racial demographics as a monolithic voting blocs in the first place? Sure those two districts are gerrymandered to be majority black, but what if they're also all the black voters that voted a specific way, and the ones who voted another way are the ones still spread out across the majority white districts?

These are not new insights, and in fact many argue that congressional districts should just use proportional representation directly, which would allow for larger districts with multiple representatives based on votes (such as a ranked choice vote, where you keep picking the most voted person, redistribute their votes to their next pick, and continue until all representatives picked), regardless of demographics or how anyone decided to draw up lines on a map... Except even then, what if the larger districts are still gerrymandered? What if the state itself is gerrymandered? Louisiana being composed of 32% black voters is "packed" considering the US as a whole only has a 12% black population. And unless we increase the number of representatives, there's likely still going to be demographics and political dispositions that lack even a single representative. But maybe some would argue below that 1 representative threshold, those demographics and political views aren't significant enough to warrant a material impact on how the area is run?

I've been mentioning race a lot here, but I think it's important to understand why that demographic specifically is considered so important to account for here. America is and has been a racist country for a long time, with many issues present in the system itself, and therefore our social constructs as well. Black people have been regularly under-represented in our government and suffered greatly for it. I've been making the case that proportionality by race is a reasonable metric for fairness, but to be honest there's quite a strong case that, due to historical oppression, black people may deserve to be over-represented in order to help them regain equal footing in our society. To help correct the racist parts very much still present in our laws and processes, which may be hard to do if a minority of our representatives are chosen by black people. This adds a whole new facet to our discussion on fairness that I'm only briefly touching on here, but even proportionality may not be considered "fair", due to its ambivalence to historical context.

My personal stance on what would be most fair is actually that representation is intrinsically an inaccurate abstraction of the people's political will. I think the closer we get to having individuals voting directly on the issues the better (see Direct Democracy ), and beyond that I'd ideally prefer a system where policies are workshopped and ideated upon until they can achieve a near unanimous vote before being implemented (see Consensus Democracy ). But hopefully all of this goes to show how complex fairness is, and how there is no "objectively" definition of fairness. Therefore, arguments should not center on appeals to "fairness" like its some objective or authoritative measure. You must be able to justify why your policy improves things in material. And to clarify, I do support the new congressional map that makes two majority black voting districts - I'm all for harm reduction, and that map is the least we can do in trying to make the system more fair, by most reasonable definitions of fairness.

Guide to Incrementals/Appeal to Developers

There are a lot of developers in the incremental games community - the genre seems to draw them in, and convert a lot of players into developers. Let's explore the reasons why this genre appeals to developers.

Incrementals are Easy to Make ​

Compared to other genres, incrementals have quite low expectations. You don't need to make fancy art, or music, or lay things out nicely. If you can make a button and learn the few lines of code necessary to make a number go up, you can make an incremental. This low threshold makes the genre perfect for those who are actively learning to code and haven't developed any gamedev-related skills yet.

Additionally, unlike other genres incrementals are uniquely easy to implement in a normal web page - no need to worry about rendering sprites, moving them around, implementing physics, etc. New developers can just use HTML to add a button, and the game is now available in your browser. You don't need to choose an engine, have admin privileges, or hell for the dedicated you don't even need a computer - there are tools for web development that run in the browser itself, so you can technically use your phone if that's all you have.

Javascript is a perfectly viable language for making web games, whereas other genres are typically going to require using other more difficult languages to learn. There are countless javascript tutorials that start from 0 knowledge of programming, making it incredibly accessible to beginners.

Players are Easy to Find ​

Once you've finished your game and uploaded it on github pages or itch or just copied the link if you're using glitch or replit (all of which are easy to do), anyone can now play the game in their browser. This low barrier to entry has shown tremendous success in getting completely unknown developers to have thousands of plays.

The incremental games community, which mostly centers around r/incremental_games, is always looking for new games and tends to flood any new ones posted with initial players.

Having your games be played can be incredibly motivating, and the community makes it quite clear that you can expect players to play your game. These communities - both for incremental games in general as well as game-specific communities - tend to be very developer friendly as well. A lot of the developers know each other, and welcome new developers with open arms, often with dedicated channels for programming help and discussions.

Monetization ​

I'd like to clarify that everything I've said above mainly applies to web-based incrementals. Incremental games are also incredibly popular on mobile, but with a much different culture and community. Many mobile gamers will still participate in the web-focused community for the culture. This web-focused community has a culture that has been criticized for being "anti-monetization". Ads, IAPs, and similar forms of monetization are often criticized, mainly due to the abundance of completely non-monetized games available from hobbyist developers. There are exceptions, like paid games often being considered fine, like Increlution or Stuck in Time, or donation ware games like kittens game, but even popular games that have IAP see some level of regular criticism, like NGU Idle, Idle Skilling, or Idle Pins. A large part of this can be explained by the community being hyper-aware of the addictive) nature of this genre and its susceptibility to exploiting players.

On mobile, however, monetization is the norm and expected. If an incremental game is available on mobile, it almost certainly will be monetized, and mobile players are aware and accepting of that. Mobile incremental games, due to their addictive nature, tend to make a lot of money. It's very lucrative, and therefore these games are quite abundant on mobile storefronts.

There are a lot of developers in the incremental games community - the genre seems to draw them in, and convert a lot of players into developers. Let's explore the reasons why this genre appeals to developers.

Incrementals are Easy to Make ​

Compared to other genres, incrementals have quite low expectations. You don't need to make fancy art, or music, or lay things out nicely. If you can make a button and learn the few lines of code necessary to make a number go up, you can make an incremental. This low threshold makes the genre perfect for those who are actively learning to code and haven't developed any gamedev-related skills yet.

Additionally, unlike other genres incrementals are uniquely easy to implement in a normal web page - no need to worry about rendering sprites, moving them around, implementing physics, etc. New developers can just use HTML to add a button, and the game is now available in your browser.

This is something that has been discussed and analyzed by many people, and to some extent, I feel like everything that can be said on the topic already has. However, a lot of these analyses are from the perspective of those with not as much experience and involvement within the genre as I'd argue would be necessary for a fully contextualized answer. I'm interested in ludology and part of that includes interpreting games as art, and to that end what constitutes a game, let alone a "good game". Incremental games are oft criticized, unfairly in my biased opinion, of not even constituting games, such as was posited by this polygon article.

Numbers Going Up ​

This is a very common response to why people enjoy incremental games, although it's not one I find compels me personally, and I suspect it might be a stand-in for progression) or Guide to Incrementals/What is Content?. But reportedly, some people do just like seeing big numbers. I must reiterate I suspect the actual cause is seeing big numbers in context though - if you start at 1e1000 of a currency and get to 1e1001, that isn't going to feel as satisfying as going from 1e10 to 1e100, and in any case, I don't think a button that just adds a zero to your number will feel quite satisfying - I believe its the sense of having made progress, and comparing where you are to where you started and feeling like you've earned your way here that is enjoyable.

Progression

I think a strong sense of progression is seen as very enjoyable to many players of all sorts of genres - engine builder board games, RPGs, rogue_lites_, etc. Incremental games tend to have an extremely exaggerated sense of progression, which makes them very appealing.

Meta-progression is when games have some sort of progression that persists when other progress gets lost - for example, upgrades that persist between runs of a roguelite game. These are common mechanics in incremental games - in fact, its not uncommon to have multiple of these reset mechanics nested on top of each other, each with their own meta-progression. These are satisfying to players, although they can be a bit controversial. These mechanics can often be seen as an optional crutch, and in roguelite games, players often challenge themselves to win without any meta progression. Essentially these challenges argue that meta-progression de-emphasizes player skill by replacing it with time served. Incremental games, through their exaggerated progression, eschew that possibility though - they make it impossible to beat without the meta progression systems, as the meta-progression becomes an entire chapter of the gameplay. I'd argue this does not detract from the game, however, and is actually a part of what makes incremental games, and roguelikes, enjoyable to many players: meta-progression augments the increases in skill the player is naturally gaining as they play. In effect, it's not replacing the skill increase, but exaggerating it to make it feel more real to the player.

Effortlessness ​

Incremental games are so easy, a lot of them even have you progress while you're not playing! Part of the appeal is being able to feel like you're making progress while doing something actually productive - multitasking, in a way. In this sense, the game is more of a fidget toy - not something to think hard about and play actively, but something to click a few buttons every so often while you're paying attention to a lecture or studying or working. Of course, not all incremental games lend themselves to being played this way - it's specifically "idle" games that work like this. These are games that take an incredibly long amount of time to see all the content, stretching it as thin as possible, but they aren't expecting you to be sitting at your device playing it the entire time. They expect you to leave and come back later to make a bit of progress and repeat the cycle.

If you look at the higher-level play of most games, you'll see them perform difficult feats with ease and speed. They'll achieve a "flow state" that takes all their knowledge and experience of the game and uses it to play the game as instinctively as possible. It's incredible to watch things like Slay the Spire speed runs or competitive DDR-likes. I'd argue the goal of a lot of games with a competitive scene is to get so good that the game becomes effortless. In that sense, a game that allows you to reach that point earlier isn't any less legitimate, but rather lowers the barrier to entry by allowing more people to get "really good" at the game. And to be clear, (most) incremental games aren't trivially easy - they, and to an extent, every game will have some level of learning and improvement over time.

Addiction

A lot of these reasons for why incremental games appeal may have reminded you of why gambling appeals to people, particularly those prone to addiction. Indeed, incremental games are quite often criticized for their similarity to a skinner box. Some have gone as far as to say incremental games as a genre are commenting that all games are skinner boxes). The argument goes that some games are not fun, but rather condition players into continuing to play without actually getting anything from the experience. When tied to real-world money this is seen as predatory, and to a lesser extent, even free games may be feeding the addictive sides of people and making them more prone to seek out gambling or micro-transaction heavy games.

While incremental games can be fun and even healthy in certain contexts, they can exacerbate video game addiction more than other genres. If you feel like playing incremental games is taking priority over other things in your life, or manipulating your sleep schedule, it may be prudent to seek help. See r/StopGaming for resources.

Since incremental games are often built on extrinsic motivations in the form of progression systems, it's hard to argue whether players continue to play because they are enjoying the gameplay, or if they are just conditioned to keep doing it because the game keeps rewarding them. Unfortunately, it can often feel like it's the latter, as there isn't typically anything compelling about the "gameplay" of clicking a button and waiting. There may be a significant overlap between those who enjoy incremental games and those who are most prone to addiction, and there are often posts on r/incremental_games about someone either struggling with or overcoming video game addiction.

Strategy ​

Incremental games could be considered a subset of strategy games), and inherit the appeals of strategy games. This includes the appeal of feeling like you've found a good solution to a puzzle, or that you're learning more about the game and are improving at making decisions within it.

Note that strategy games are not all the same difficulty, as well. Cookie Clicker is probably easier than Starcraft 2 (although late game may beg to differ). Plenty of incremental games can be used as evidence that "easier" strategies may have their separate appeal to harder strategy games - players like to feel smart and that they figured the game out and have optimized or mastered it, and the game being easier doesn't detract from that sense of accomplishment as much as it allows more and more users to be able to reach the point where they gain that sense.

Avoiding Staleness ​

Incremental games tend to have "paradigm shifts", where the gameplay changes in a meaningful way at various times throughout the progression of the game. These upset and change the gameplay loop, which helps keep them from stagnating. This constant "freshness" to the gameplay can keep players engaged for longer, compared to a game with a repetitive and static gameplay loop.

Good Game Design ​

Incremental games tend to show their game design "plainly", so it's more readily apparent if a game has good game design while playing, even if you're not looking for it. While different players have different preferences and might enjoy different types of games more than others, there are underlying good and bad game design principles that players will notice the effects of. To be clear, this isn't talking about stuff like big numbers being enjoyable, where I can comfortably agree to disagree with other players. They don't intrinsically make my experience better, but I'm aware of those for whom it does and I won't argue against their feelings. However, the game designer in me does feel like there are some extremely clear-cut examples of good and bad game design philosophies.

Let's start by giving an example of a mechanic I think can be easily and strongly argued is good game design. There are of course many examples, but a personal favorite of mine is how DOOM encourages aggressive gameplay by linking health drops to melee attacks. It has an intended experience it's trying to give the player - immersing themselves as DOOM guy, who would not hide behind cover when low on health - and this mechanic does a great job at encouraging and effectively teaching players to behave properly. This is in sharp contrast to shooters like Call of Duty, which have you regen health passively, encouraging players to hide behind cover and wait after getting hit. Note that I'm not arguing CoD is poorly designed, as the games have different intended experiences. I'm specifically praising DOOM for having a mechanic that does a good job at ensuring the player has that intended experience.

To contrast with an example I think is bad game design, let's talk about shields in souls-likes. This is a bit of a famous example, and I highly recommend this video essay which spends quite a good bit of time on this topic. Essentially, the argument boils down to players of earlier games in the souls games using shields too much - playing slowly, conservatively, and ultimately having less fun. Players wanted to feel safe, so they ended up playing in a way that ruined the experience for them. The developers solved this by removing shields, apart from an intentionally bad one effectively mocking the playstyle, and it did its job at getting players to play more aggressively, and often have more fun.

To bring the conversation back to incrementals, I'm incredibly opinionated on what makes a good incremental game, which I'll discuss in the game design section. Suffice it to say, incremental games rely more on good game design than other genres, due to not having much to distract from bad game design. This helps (although imperfectly - gamers are a bit too tolerant of bad game design!) well-designed games rise to the top within the genre.

Artistic Merit ​

The discussion of whether video games are art has resulted in a pretty universal "yes, they are", but with some games the argument may still crop up. The reason why Incremental games are sometimes questioned is due to their perceived lack of complexity. However, even setting aside the fact that if players are having fun then it's not time wasted, I think games can have artistic merit that supersedes the necessity of having (any / engaging / "deep") gameplay. Incremental games are no less legitimate of a game or the "art" label because of any lack perceived lack of depth. For what it's worth, most art can be consumed with more ease than any video game - any painting, movie, sculpture, etc.

A lot of incrementals have a narrative context that can similarly qualify them as art. Cookie Clicker is, as has been pointed out numerous times before, commenting on excess and increasing production beyond any reasonable limits - devolving into increasing production for its own sake. Indeed, a lot of incremental games are written to comment upon various concepts like capitalism or tropes in games, as discussed when defining Incrementals). However, I'd like to argue most incremental games are still art, even without any narrative context. "Art" as a concept is pretty nebulous already, but I personally like those who define it as an act of expression more than any physical result. The creator and the context within which they created the art, and any meaning they put into it, are all relevant and a part of the art itself. Most incremental games have artistic merit from things like why the creator made it, why they chose to make it an incremental game, and why they made any particular design decision. Hell, even if you play through an entire incremental game without a single thought or feeling, that very fact it elicited nothing can itself be artistic merit!

I'm not an art major, and I may be taking a somewhat extreme take on what is art and what has artistic merit, but I'd argue the overall point stands that games, and incremental games specifically, can have artistic merit, which appeals to many gamers.

Guide to Incrementals/Defining the Genre

Video games are placed into genres for a variety of reasons. They can give a mental shorthand to set the player's expectations up, they can help a game market itself by its similarities to other, already popular games, and honestly, people just love categorization for its own sake. For this guide, it's important to define the genre so it is clear what games it's even talking about.

This poses a problem. Genres, being Social Constructs, suffer from the usual issues social constructs have of being vague and shifting over time. "Incremental", in particular, is a horribly vague way to define games. Most games have numbers going up in some form or another. We need a more specific definition - similar to how "strategy" can't just mean any game with any amount of strategy because that would be most games. What specifically differentiates incremental games from the rest?

"Incremental" implies it's a genre defined by a game mechanic, but all those game mechanics it could imply exist in many other games. Having a skill tree or upgrades doesn't make you incremental, and if a reset mechanic is all it takes then every roguelite would be an incremental as well. So clearly there's more to it than that - what makes an incremental an incremental?

I'd like to go over a couple of popular suggestions I've seen on defining the genre here. I have my personal preferences and will state them here, but I don't think there's a truly perfect answer.

BTW, if this article made you realize discourse around defining genres is actually a really interesting, even fascinating, topic, I recommend this video essay: Who Shot Guybrush Threepwood? | Genre and the Adventure Game.

Disclaimer: I mostly play incremental games on my computer, and my definitions will be heavily biased towards the games I'm familiar with.

Incrementals vs Idlers vs Clickers ​

Oftentimes people refer to this genre as idle games and/or clicker games. You'll even find a trend of oxymoronic game titles that contain both terms. "Incremental games" is the umbrella term both those terms fall under. However, I'd like to argue that not only is it better to just use the term "incremental games", but calling them "idle games" or "clicker games" is wrong. Almost universally, these terms are used interchangeably to refer to the same kind of game, where you start the game click spamming and eventually automate the process. Frankly, that kind of game deserves neither title, and the genre of incremental games has trended away from ever requiring click spamming, as it's a bad mechanic, anyways.

While these games do span a spectrum of how active it requires you to be, and sorting games by that metric can be useful for those looking for a particular experience, the borders of when an incremental game counts as an "idler" is too blurry for the term to be useful. "Incremental games" may not be a great descriptive term for the genre (hence this many thousands of words long page on defining what the genre even is), but it's strictly better than calling them "idler" or "clicker" games. This guide will always use the term "incremental games" unless quoting someone else, as it is the term you typically see on all modern games in the genre.

Incrementals as Parodies

Let's start with one of the most interesting definitions of incremental games. Incremental games appear to be distilled versions of games or genres, "revealing" the naked game design at the core of these games or genres not unlike how parodies comment upon their source material.

To understand what that means, think of how a casino uses skinner boxes to emotionally manipulate its customers to keep playing, but "dressing" up the skinner box with tons of stimuli to hide that ultimately the goal is to condition you into coming back compulsively. The idea that incremental games are parodies means taking the stance that at some level all games are similarly manipulating you, giving dopamine rewards in a way that manipulates you to keep playing while not necessarily giving you any value or fulfillment. Incremental games, then, are any games that plainly display the skinner box, and the manipulative core of the game, at the forefront of the experience.

While incremental games can be fun and even healthy in certain contexts, they can exacerbate video game addiction more than other genres. If you feel like playing incremental games is taking priority over other things in your life, or manipulating your sleep schedule, it may be prudent to seek help. See r/StopGaming for resources.

This "undressing" tends to go hand in hand with a reduced focus on aesthetics, often just printing the game state directly to the screen as text. This makes incremental games much easier to develop, particularly for those with programming skills but not art skills, but that's a tangent for why Incremental Games Guide to Incrementals/Appeal to Developers.

Before I continue, I'd like to make my stance clear that I love games and incremental games, and do not think they should be considered inherently bad or manipulative with the above logic. Skinner boxes are just a way of manipulating behavior via rewards. The games are still fun - that's the reward! I'd believe the real criticism here is that it is "empty fun", or "empty dopamine", that doesn't offer any additional value or sense of fulfillment. I don't think that's inherently bad in moderation, although it can become a problem if the game is manipulating you for profit-seeking, or if you play the game to the detriment of the other parts of your life.

Another interpretation of incremental games as parodies comes from several mainstream incremental games that are also parodies of capitalism, such as cookie clicker and adventure capitalist. It's a very common framework for incremental games to portray the ever-increasing numbers as an insatiable hunger for resources, like the ones observed within capitalism. Therefore, these games are used as evidence that the genre as a whole is about parody and commentary.

Popular videos on incremental games that portray the genre as parodies are Why Idle games make good satire, and how it was ruined. and Bad Game Design - Clicker Games. You may also be interested in this response to the latter video from a fan of incremental games: BadGood Game Design - Clicker Games.

I think that this definition ultimately ascribes a motive to the genre as a whole that only happens to apply to some of the more mainstream titles. There certainly are incremental games commenting on different things, including the genre itself as in the case of The Prestige Tree Classic, The Ascension Tree, or Omega Layers, but certainly not all. And of course, not all games that comment on something or parody something are incremental games! Additionally, a very large majority of incremental games are mobile games using these manipulative strategies to get players to spend as much money as possible - hell, Adventure Capitalist is ostensibly a critique on capitalism but features microtransactions and gameplay that manipulates you into buying them! These profit-seeking incremental games certainly belong within the genre but are hardly parodies when they too use manipulation to serve their interests. Also, from my own anecdotal experience, those who use this definition seem to do so from a fairly surface-level familiarity with the genre, and often in the context of criticizing the genre or the fans thereof.

Incrementals as NGU ​

Another broad definition often used is that incremental games are games where the focus of the game is "numbers going up". This definition proposes that other genres simply use increasing numbers as a means to an end, but incremental games uniquely only care about the numbers themselves going up. Put another way, it implies there should be no narrative justification for the numbers going up other than "why shouldn't they be going up?"

While this definition is common because it feels easy to understand, it is difficult to formally define. Often phrases are used to describe games using this framework, such as having an "exaggerated sense of progression" or "big" numbers. These terms are vague and don't demonstrate an actual threshold between non-incrementals and incrementals. Most games have a sense of progression, so when is it "exaggerated"? How big are "big" numbers? Most notably, RPGs that are typically not considered incrementals will often pass this definition.

Additionally, a lot of incrementals tend to have some theme guiding the gameplay, or at least the names of mechanics. This makes the line blurred between when numbers are going up for their own sake versus for a contextual reason. I believe this point is best illustrated that, while most RPGs are not considered incremental games, there is a sub-genre of "incremental RPGs" that typically relates to RPGs that perform combat automatically. This definition of incremental games does not support RPGs and "incremental RPGs" being on distinct sides of the line if the only difference between them is manual vs automatic combat.

Incrementals as Strategies

This is a rarer interpretation, but there are similarities between incremental games and strategy games, implying incrementals might just be a sub-genre of strategy games. By this approach, incremental games would be defined by their relation to strategy games, and how they involve player strategy. Incremental games are often large optimization problems - above all else, the actual gameplay the player is performing is deciding what to do next. The consequences of wrong decisions are typically more lenient in incremental games - such as just not making optimal progress - but they certainly get complex.

So if we accept the premise that incrementals could fall under strategy, we still need to define what makes a strategy game an incremental versus some other strategy sub-genre. This is a bit tricky due to one particular sub-genre of strategy games: Factory Builders.

Factory builders, such as Factorio or Satisfactory, are games about gaining ever increasing resources, optimizing production, and expanding more and more. That... sounds pretty similar, doesn't it? In fact, there's been some debate on whether factory builders would fall under the "incremental" umbrella. I think it's safe to say the two are certainly related, and probably have quite a bit of overlap in playerbase.

Roguelites as Incrementals? ​

Earlier on, I mentioned reset mechanics shouldn't be used in the definition because that could make all roguelites incrementals... But what if it does? A lot of incrementals can be described as games with a strong sense of progression, often with layers of meta-progression. Roguelites fit that bill to a T. What would make roguelites not incremental? I honestly don't think there's a good explanation here, but many fans of incremental games will state they do believe the two genres to be unrelated, even if there's a significant overlap between their player bases due to having similar appealing traits.

At this point, it'd be appropriate to consider what part of the definition of roguelites precludes them from also being incrementals, but that reveals a new problem: What are roguelites? They're usually defined as rogue_likes with meta-progression, but that just pushes the problem back a step: Incrementals aren't the only genre to have difficulties defining themselves, it seems! Roguelikes are another genre where the community argues over the formal definition of their genre, although that means we can borrow from their process of coming to a consensus, and maybe come across a viable definition for incremental games.

The Berlin Interpretation ​

By far the most popular way of defining roguelikes is the "Berlin Interpretation", which acknowledged the diversity of games within the genre and argued the definition should not be based on any ideals about what the genre ought to be, but rather defined by "its canon". They argued there are a handful of games that can be used to define the canon for roguelikes, and from those games, a list of factors can be derived to determine a game's "roguelikeness". The more factors a game has, the more of a roguelike it is. This strategy is very lenient, allowing a game to not present any specific factor so long as it shows enough, and accounts for the blurriness of any genre definition by not explicitly stating how many factors a game must have to qualify as a definite roguelike.

I believe this strategy for defining genres can be applied to other genres as well. A handful of games can be argued to be the incremental games canon, and a list of factors derived from them can be used to judge any game based on its "incrementalness". I'll propose such a canon and list of factors here, but by no means should it be considered the end-all-be-all.

Note: The "Temple of the roguelike", an authority within the genre, has since replaced the Berlin Interpretation with a new set of factors here: https://blog.roguetemple.com/what-is-a-traditional-roguelike/

A Modern Incremental Games Canon ​

Alright, time to get controversial. Up til now, I've been trying my best to stay objective and analytical, but now it's time to start making some opinionated decisions. I've created a list of games I think could be justified in making up a modern incremental games canon.

Before I mention the list, let's establish how I got to this list. First off, I'm really focusing on building a definition of the genre today, so I prefer modern games over traditional ones. A canon of culturally or historically significant titles to the genre would give a different list. Keep in mind the original Berlin interpretation (and the temple's update to it) were trying to define "traditional roguelikes", which is not my objective here. Building a canon that aims to trace the history of the genre is still valid and useful.

I'm also trying to ensure I pick a large breadth of incremental games, so I'm going to approach the list as a list of archetypes, with a single game to represent it but with other titles mentioned as other examples. This approach places each archetype as equally important, even if one only has a couple entries. Besides the impracticality of a canon that just includes every game, it'd be very biased towards games with large modding communities like Cookie Clicker or The Prestige Tree.

With all that behind us, here is a list of games I think could justifiably make up a Modern Incremental Games Canon:

  • Dodecadragons

    This game represents incremental games with many prestige layers that often have rapid resets and automate lower layers as more get unlocked. Other examples could also include The Prestige Tree, Really Grass Cutting Incremental Classic, Distance Incremental, or the massive modding community TPT has. A lot of the games I've personally worked on fall in this group, like Advent Incremental.

  • Evolve Idle

    This game represents incremental games with few prestige layers, very slow resets, and a focus on resource management. Typically involve some sort of worker allocation. Other examples would be Kitten's Game, Shark Game, or Magic Research.

  • (the) Gnorp Apologue

    This game represents incremental games with a central mechanic that gets added to by various other mechanics. All the mechanics remain relevant throughout the game, with different ones contributing most over time. Other examples include Nodebuster and To the Core. A lot of traditional games also fall in this archetype by having characters or buildings you level up, that each contribute additively to gaining the primary resources. These include Cookie Clicker, Clicker Heroes, and Realm Grinder. In a way, that makes the modern titles mentioned in this archetype the spiritual successors of those traditional games, and exemplifies how the genre has changed.

  • Idle Momentum

    This game represents incremental games that include polynomial growth as a central mechanic that is then built upon. Other examples include Antimatter Dimensions, Swarm Simulator, and Derivative Clicker.

  • Melvor Idle

    This game represents incremental games that are essentially a genre blend between incremental games and RPGs. Compared to other types of RPGs, these games have a focus on progressing while idle. Other examples would be IdleOn and a very large amount of mobile RPGs.

  • Stuck in Time

    This game represents incremental games that include a reset mechanic where there are pre-defined decisions being made during the course of the run. There's typically a concept of a playable character, whose actions are being "queued up" during a run, and these runs become longer or otherwise more productive as the game progresses. There are a lot of examples of this genre, including Cavernous II, Increlution, Progress Knight, Idle Loops, and Groundhog Life.

  • Universal Paperclips

    This game represents incremental games that involve several phases of completely distinct gameplay that fully replace the previous, called "paradigm shifts". Prestige layers are also often paradigm shifts, but this game represents paradigm shifts that are not reset mechanics but still transform the gameplay. Other examples would be Crank or A Dark Room. Spore would be an example that's not typically considered an incremental.

  • Unnamed Space Idle

    This game represents incremental games that focus on unlocking many different independent progression systems that boost each other, and all remain relevant throughout the course of the game. Other examples include NGU Idle, Anti-Idle, Idle Skilling, and Idle Wizard.

It may look like I've just shifted the problem down a level - rather than defining the genre, I'm now defining a bunch of sub-genres. However, the methods used here for defining the canon, and my attempt at ensuring a breadth of games by determining distinct archetypes, is just my approach. This list is additionally biased towards games I'm more familiar with, which will differ person to person. The only hard and fast rule is that every game on the list should be nearly universally accepted as an incremental game. So long as you do that, the factors should be relatively similar, although ofc individuals will still likely have small differences, as is the nature of socially constructed definitions.

Naturally this canon is a perpetual work-in-progress. I'm currently a bit uncertain about the distinctions between the evolve idle, melvor idle, and unnamed space idle archetypes. I could see those being rewritten as two or even a single archetype.

Unfolding ​

There are several related concepts mentioned in the canon - unfolding, prestige layers, and paradigm shifts. Unfolding is the umbrella term which includes the other two, and is clearly the highest possible value factor for an incremental. It's so common that for a while people referred to incrementals that exhibit this trait as "unfolding" games, to the point of trying to replace the term incremental due to their popularity.

There are many reasons for the appeal of unfolding mechanics. Oftentimes each mechanic builds on top of the existing mechanics, increasing the complexity of the game in steps so the player can follow along. In fact, sometimes the older mechanics will be entirely phased out (e.g. by automating them), so the complexity of the game remains roughly equal throughout the game. In any case, adding new mechanics regularly provides a sense of mystery, with the player anticipating what will happen next. They shake up the gameplay before it gets too stale - allowing the game to entertain for longer before the sense of Guide to Incrementals/What is Content? dissipates. Of the canon games selected above, I would argue every single one contains unfolding to some degree.

I should take a moment to say that while I'm hyping up this specific factor, we cannot just reduce the genre definition to "does it introduce new mechanics over time". Many games have paradigm shifts that are not incremental, so it's just an indicator of incrementalness. Every single canon game may show that it's common amongst incremental games, but could just as easily indicate that they're common in games in general.

High-Value Factors ​

I won't take as long to discuss the high and low-value factors, as you've already seen most of them brought up earlier on this page. As a reminder, a game does NOT need all of these to be an incremental game, but these are factors that each indicate a strong possibility the game is an incremental, so having several of these means they probably are. These factors apply to most of the canon incremental games.

"Pure UI" Display. Incrementals typically have a data-driven interface of the game state - there isn't a visual representation of the entities within the game. The interface resembles what might be a control panel in another genre, with a focus on numbers, buttons, and readouts rather than animated sprites or scenes. Even when there are visual elements, like item icons or simple enemy images, the player's main interaction is with non-diegetic, UI-focused components rather than immersive game visuals.

Reduced Consequences. Incrementals tend to have reduced repurcussions for misplaying. They very rarely have fail states, where often the largest consequence is simply not progressing - never losing progress.

Optimization Problems. The predominant gameplay of incrementals is typically solving optimization problems, from deciding which purchase to save up for to reasoning and deciding between different mutually exclusive options the game presents.

Resource Management. Incrementals tend to have a lot of resources within the game to keep track of.

Low-Value Factors ​

These are low-value factors, meaning they aren't as strongly correlated with incremental games. Incremental games may have none of these, and non-incrementals may have several of these - if a game only has low-value factors, they're probably not an incremental.

Fast Numeric Growth. Numbers in incremental games tend to grow faster than in other genres. There are more instances of superlinear growth. The larger the numbers get, the stronger of a signal this factor is.

Automation. As an incremental game progresses, the player often no longer has to deal with earlier mechanics, by having them either happen automatically or otherwise be replaced with an alternative that requires less player interaction.

Goal-Oriented. Incrementals are often heavily reliant on extrinsic motivation to guide the player. Typically this is through some sort of in-game goal to work towards, such as a certain amount of a resource being required to unlock or purchase something new.

Waiting is a Mechanic. In incremental games, the player may come across times where there is no action they can take, and the game will progress automatically instead. The player must wait for some amount of this automatic progress to occur before they can resume interaction with the game.

Are Roguelites Incrementals? ​

Having made our variation of the Berlin Interpretation for incremental games, we can compare it to the Berlin Interpretation to determine if there's enough overlap that any game that "passes" the Berlin Interpretation would also pass the incremental variant. That is to say, whether any roguelite would also be considered an incremental game.

The meta-progression of an incremental game could arguably be considered a paradigm shift, and certainly adds some resource management. Goal-oriented would probably also apply. I think anything other than those would be a stretch, and in my opinion that just isn't enough to qualify. To be totally honest, I was never expecting to conclude otherwise though 😉

Sub-Genres ​

There are some trends in incremental games that go beyond just being a commonly used mechanic, such that they deeply affect the rest of the game design. To a degree each of the games in the canon could arguably be part of distinct sub-genres, but I think these 4 deserve specific mentions:

Loops games are a sub-genre defined by having a core mechanic related to a loop, where the player is deciding the actions taken per loop. Notable examples include Idle Loops, Stuck in Time, Cavernous II, and Increlution. You may also argue Groundhog Life and Progress Knight fall into this sub-genre.

ITRTG-like games are a sub-genre defined by having a core mechanic based on clearing increasingly difficult battles and often tend to have a lot of different mechanics to become progressively stronger. Notable examples include Idling to Rule the Gods, NGU Idle, and Wizard and Minion Idle.

Polynomial Growth games are a sub-genre defined by having a core mechanic related to a higher degree polynomial. Notable examples include the base layer of Antimatter Dimensions and Swarm Simulator.

Upgrades Games is a category popular on flash games websites that featured games focused on buying upgrades that would allow you to attain more currency in some sort of minigame that would earn you more money to buy more upgrades, which I'd argue now belong under the fold of incremental games. Notable examples include the Learn to Fly series and Upgrade Complete.

Cultivation RPGs are a genre of games, books, and anime popular in China that center around being in a fantasy world with characters getting stronger over time. While few of them get translated into English, a fan of incremental games may find the available games interesting.

Video games are placed into genres for a variety of reasons. They can give a mental shorthand to set the player's expectations up, they can help a game market itself by its similarities to other, already popular games, and honestly, people just love categorization for its own sake. For this guide, it's important to define the genre so it is clear what games it's even talking about.

This poses a problem. Genres, being Social Constructs, suffer from the usual issues social constructs have of being vague and shifting over time. "Incremental", in particular, is a horribly vague way to define games. Most games have numbers going up in some form or another. We need a more specific definition - similar to how "strategy" can't just mean any game with any amount of strategy because that would be most games. What specifically differentiates incremental games from the rest?

"Incremental" implies it's a genre defined by a game mechanic, but all those game mechanics it could imply exist in many other games. Having a skill tree or upgrades doesn't make you incremental, and if a reset mechanic is all it takes then every roguelite would be an incremental as well. So clearly there's more to it than that - what makes an incremental an incremental?

I'd like to go over a couple of popular suggestions I've seen on defining the genre here. I have my personal preferences and will state them here, but I don't think there's a truly perfect answer.

BTW, if this article made you realize discourse around defining genres is actually a really interesting, even fascinating, topic, I recommend this video essay: Who Shot Guybrush Threepwood? | Genre and the Adventure Game.

Disclaimer: I mostly play incremental games on my computer, and my definitions will be heavily biased towards the games I'm familiar with.

Incrementals vs Idlers vs Clickers ​

Oftentimes people refer to this genre as idle games and/or clicker games. You'll even find a trend of oxymoronic game titles that contain both terms. "Incremental games" is the umbrella term both those terms fall under. However, I'd like to argue that not only is it better to just use the term "incremental games", but calling them "idle games" or "clicker games" is wrong. Almost universally, these terms are used interchangeably to refer to the same kind of game, where you start the game click spamming and eventually automate the process. Frankly, that kind of game deserves neither title, and the genre of incremental games has trended away from ever requiring click spamming, as it's a bad mechanic, anyways.

While these games do span a spectrum of how active it requires you to be, and sorting games by that metric can be useful for those looking for a particular experience, the borders of when an incremental game counts as an "idler" is too blurry for the term to be useful. "Incremental games" may not be a great descriptive term for the genre (hence this many thousands of words long page on defining what the genre even is), but it's strictly better than calling them "idler" or "clicker" games. This guide will always use the term "incremental games" unless quoting someone else, as it is the term you typically see on all modern games in the genre.

    This game represents incremental games with few prestige layers, very slow resets, and a focus on resource management. Typically involve some sort of worker allocation. Other examples would be Kitten's Game, Shark Game, or Magic Research.

  • (the) Gnorp Apologue

    This game represents incremental games with a central mechanic that gets added to by various other mechanics. All the mechanics remain relevant throughout the game, with different ones contributing most over time. Other examples include Nodebuster and To the Core. A lot of traditional games also fall in this archetype by having characters or buildings you level up, that each contribute additively to gaining the primary resources. These include Cookie Clicker, Clicker Heroes, and Realm Grinder. In a way, that makes the modern titles mentioned in this archetype the spiritual successors of those traditional games, and exemplifies how the genre has changed.

  • Idle Momentum

    This game represents incremental games that include polynomial growth as a central mechanic that is then built upon. Other examples include Antimatter Dimensions, Swarm Simulator, and Derivative Clicker.

  • Melvor Idle

    This game represents incremental games that are essentially a genre blend between incremental games and RPGs. Compared to other types of RPGs, these games have a focus on progressing while idle. Other examples would be IdleOn and a very large amount of mobile RPGs.

  • Stuck in Time

    This game represents incremental games that include a reset mechanic where there are pre-defined decisions being made during the course of the run. There's typically a concept of a playable character, whose actions are being "queued up" during a run, and these runs become longer or otherwise more productive as the game progresses. There are a lot of examples of this genre, including Cavernous II, Increlution, Progress Knight, Idle Loops, and Groundhog Life.

  • Universal Paperclips

    This game represents incremental games that involve several phases of completely distinct gameplay that fully replace the previous, called "paradigm shifts". Prestige layers are also often paradigm shifts, but this game represents paradigm shifts that are not reset mechanics but still transform the gameplay. Other examples would be Crank or A Dark Room. Spore would be an example that's not typically considered an incremental.

  • Unnamed Space Idle

    This game represents incremental games that focus on unlocking many different independent progression systems that boost each other, and all remain relevant throughout the course of the game. Other examples include NGU Idle, Anti-Idle, Idle Skilling, and Idle Wizard.

It may look like I've just shifted the problem down a level - rather than defining the genre, I'm now defining a bunch of sub-genres. However, the methods used here for defining the canon, and my attempt at ensuring a breadth of games by determining distinct archetypes, is just my approach. This list is additionally biased towards games I'm more familiar with, which will differ person to person. The only hard and fast rule is that every game on the list should be nearly universally accepted as an incremental game. So long as you do that, the factors should be relatively similar, although ofc individuals will still likely have small differences, as is the nature of socially constructed definitions.

Naturally this canon is a perpetual work-in-progress. I'm currently a bit uncertain about the distinctions between the evolve idle, melvor idle, and unnamed space idle archetypes. I could see those being rewritten as two or even a single archetype.

Unfolding ​

There are several related concepts mentioned in the canon - unfolding, prestige layers, and paradigm shifts. Unfolding is the umbrella term which includes the other two, and is clearly the highest possible value factor for an incremental. It's so common that for a while people referred to incrementals that exhibit this trait as "unfolding" games, to the point of trying to replace the term incremental due to their popularity.

There are many reasons for the appeal of unfolding mechanics. Oftentimes each mechanic builds on top of the existing mechanics, increasing the complexity of the game in steps so the player can follow along. In fact, sometimes the older mechanics will be entirely phased out (e.g. by automating them), so the complexity of the game remains roughly equal throughout the game. In any case, adding new mechanics regularly provides a sense of mystery, with the player anticipating what will happen next. They shake up the gameplay before it gets too stale - allowing the game to entertain for longer before the sense of Guide to Incrementals/What is Content? dissipates. Of the canon games selected above, I would argue every single one contains unfolding to some degree.

I should take a moment to say that while I'm hyping up this specific factor, we cannot just reduce the genre definition to "does it introduce new mechanics over time". Many games have paradigm shifts that are not incremental, so it's just an indicator of incrementalness. Every single canon game may show that it's common amongst incremental games, but could just as easily indicate that they're common in games in general.

High-Value Factors ​

I won't take as long to discuss the high and low-value factors, as you've already seen most of them brought up earlier on this page. As a reminder, a game does NOT need all of these to be an incremental game, but these are factors that each indicate a strong possibility the game is an incremental, so having several of these means they probably are. These factors apply to most of the canon incremental games.

"Pure UI" Display. Incrementals typically have a data-driven interface of the game state - there isn't a visual representation of the entities within the game. The interface resembles what might be a control panel in another genre, with a focus on numbers, buttons, and readouts rather than animated sprites or scenes. Even when there are visual elements, like item icons or simple enemy images, the player's main interaction is with non-diegetic, UI-focused components rather than immersive game visuals.

Reduced Consequences. Incrementals tend to have reduced repurcussions for misplaying. They very rarely have fail states, where often the largest consequence is simply not progressing - never losing progress.

Optimization Problems. The predominant gameplay of incrementals is typically solving optimization problems, from deciding which purchase to save up for to reasoning and deciding between different mutually exclusive options the game presents.

Resource Management. Incrementals tend to have a lot of resources within the game to keep track of.

Low-Value Factors ​

These are low-value factors, meaning they aren't as strongly correlated with incremental games. Incremental games may have none of these, and non-incrementals may have several of these - if a game only has low-value factors, they're probably not an incremental.

Fast Numeric Growth. Numbers in incremental games tend to grow faster than in other genres. There are more instances of superlinear growth. The larger the numbers get, the stronger of a signal this factor is.

Automation. As an incremental game progresses, the player often no longer has to deal with earlier mechanics, by having them either happen automatically or otherwise be replaced with an alternative that requires less player interaction.

Goal-Oriented. Incrementals are often heavily reliant on extrinsic motivation to guide the player. Typically this is through some sort of in-game goal to work towards, such as a certain amount of a resource being required to unlock or purchase something new.

Waiting is a Mechanic. In incremental games, the player may come across times where there is no action they can take, and the game will progress automatically instead. The player must wait for some amount of this automatic progress to occur before they can resume interaction with the game.

Are Roguelites Incrementals? ​

Having made our variation of the Berlin Interpretation for incremental games, we can compare it to the Berlin Interpretation to determine if there's enough overlap that any game that "passes" the Berlin Interpretation would also pass the incremental variant. That is to say, whether any roguelite would also be considered an incremental game.

The meta-progression of an incremental game could arguably be considered a paradigm shift, and certainly adds some resource management. Goal-oriented would probably also apply. I think anything other than those would be a stretch, and in my opinion that just isn't enough to qualify. To be totally honest, I was never expecting to conclude otherwise though 😉

Sub-Genres ​

There are some trends in incremental games that go beyond just being a commonly used mechanic, such that they deeply affect the rest of the game design. To a degree each of the games in the canon could arguably be part of distinct sub-genres, but I think these 4 deserve specific mentions:

Loops games are a sub-genre defined by having a core mechanic related to a loop, where the player is deciding the actions taken per loop. Notable examples include Idle Loops, Stuck in Time, Cavernous II, and Increlution. You may also argue Groundhog Life and Progress Knight fall into this sub-genre.

ITRTG-like games are a sub-genre defined by having a core mechanic based on clearing increasingly difficult battles and often tend to have a lot of different mechanics to become progressively stronger. Notable examples include Idling to Rule the Gods, NGU Idle, and Wizard and Minion Idle.

Polynomial Growth games are a sub-genre defined by having a core mechanic related to a higher degree polynomial. Notable examples include the base layer of Antimatter Dimensions and Swarm Simulator.

Upgrades Games is a category popular on flash games websites that featured games focused on buying upgrades that would allow you to attain more currency in some sort of minigame that would earn you more money to buy more upgrades, which I'd argue now belong under the fold of incremental games. Notable examples include the Learn to Fly series and Upgrade Complete.

Cultivation RPGs are a genre of games, books, and anime popular in China that center around being in a fantasy world with characters getting stronger over time. While few of them get translated into English, a fan of incremental games may find the available games interesting.

Developing games is fun and exciting and teaches a lot of wonderful skills - I enthusiastically encourage anyone with an interest in game development to try it out - and incremental games are a wonderful way to get started. However, there are many challenges young and inexperienced developers have to face, and I think the hardest one - harder than coding, debugging, balancing, etc. - is handling criticism. When you put your heart and soul into a game it is natural to feel very vulnerable. While I think there's a lot communities can do to ensure they're welcoming, positive and constructive with their criticisms, inevitably you will eventually read some, and potentially a lot, of comments that can deeply affect you. No one is immune to this, from young incremental game developers to the largest content creators you can think of. That's why it's important to be able to process and navigate criticism, because ultimately collecting feedback is essential to the journey to becoming a better developer. On this page, we'll explore how to embrace criticism, grow from it, and continue to post your games publicly with confidence.

Reading Feedback ​

Game development is a skill that takes time and practice to get truly great at. Criticism and other constructive feedback are vital to continually improving. It's useful to look at the criticism as solely a tool for improving this game and future games - that is to say, it should never be used against you as a person. Insults towards the developer(s) themselves are never okay and should not be allowed within whatever community you're sharing your works in. If you do come across a comment you interpret as an attack upon your person, you should report it. For other negative comments, try not to internalize them; instead, focus on improving the game. By distancing your own identity from your work emotionally, you can better analyze the game and use the feedback to your advantage.

Not all feedback is made equal, and you don't need to feel compelled to read and obey every piece of feedback you receive. Learn to distinguish between constructive feedback and unhelpful comments. Constructive feedback typically offers specific suggestions for improvement, while unhelpful comments are often vague or hurtful. Prioritize the former and disregard the latter. That said, most feedback you get will not be from game developers, so take specific suggestions with a grain of salt. Determine the actual problem they're experiencing, and design what you believe the best solution to that problem would be, regardless if that's the specific solution the player asked for. And keep in mind, due to different player preferences you'll never satisfy everyone, and you don't need to. Ultimately if even just you find the game fun, then that's a success.

Seeking Feedback ​

When deciding where to share your game, consider the type of players you anticipate getting, and the kind of feedback you can anticipate receiving. Different communities will have different levels of support for learning developers, and certain communities may prefer certain types of games or mechanics. It's important to get a diverse set of feedback focused on players you think will enjoy the specific game you're making.

Collecting feedback from other game developers is incredibly helpful. They've trained themselves to recognize good and bad game design and how to articulate the differences, and from my experience are much more likely to leave positive and constructive comments since they've been in your shoes before! They understand the struggles and can offer guidance and emotional support.

Responding to Feedback ​

Negative feedback can naturally feel like an attack, and it's okay to get angry. However, lashing back is never the appropriate response. It's best to cool off IRL, and keep in mind all the positive comments you've received. There's a concept in Psychology called negative bias that explains how negative feedback tends to stick with us much more prominently than positive feedback, so it's useful to regularly remind yourself of all the positive feedback you've received. Celebrate your successes, no matter how small they may seem - getting a game to a state you can publicly share it with people is an accomplishment in and of itself!

Remember your passion and your initial reasons for getting into game development. The journey will have its ups and downs, but staying true to your vision and passion will keep you motivated.

Guide to Incrementals/What is Content?

2272 words, ~12 minute read. Planted -. Last tended to -.

Referenced by:Incremental SocialKronosSocial Media

If you've been in the incremental games community for any amount of time, you'll quickly find the number one thing players want is content. They want as much of it as possible! The most popular incremental games have tons of content, so they just keep stretching on and on and on, introducing mechanic after mechanic, and players love it. In fact, players seem to value the amount of content over the quality of any specific content. However, there's a bit of a lack of understanding concerning what content is, and I'd like to explore what counts as content, and how we measure it. As a baseline definition, I think "content" can just be described as the parts of the game that engage the player, but to truly understand it we need to contextualize what that means and how it affects the gameplay experience.

To clarify the purpose of this page, my goal is not to get (too) nitpicky or to attack games with "low content". There's nothing wrong with short / low-content games - I'm quite a big fan of those games myself! This is mostly targeted toward those who ask for content and settle for "long" games, and those who want to provide content but want to make sure they're not just artificially inflating the game. Ultimately, I suppose the goal is to just reduce the amount of artificially inflated content for the sake of having a "longer" game.

Interaction ​

I think it should be a fairly non-controversial opinion that time spent solely waiting should not count towards content. That is not including the time reading various effects or making decisions in your head, but rather time spent waiting for a condition to be met so you can re-engage with the game.

That is not to say games should necessarily try to minimize this time. Plenty of games lead towards more infrequent interaction and still get popular. In fact, these games appeal to many gamers who want to have something to check up on in between bursts of working on some other activity. These games seem to have fallen slightly out of fashion amongst modern incremental games, but they're still fully valid. The point I'm trying to make here is just that this time is not content. As an extreme example, a game with no interactions and just a counter that goes up every second could safely be said to have 0 content beyond the time it takes to understand what's going on. If it has a list of "goals" to hit, then the time understanding those goals and a short time after achieving each one could be considered content, but not the idle times in between.

Let's take a look at the opposite end of the spectrum - interaction that is so frequent as to become mindless. This is any mechanic where you need to spam-click something to progress. This may be a more controversial take, but I do not believe this constitutes content either. It does not engage the player, because each consecutive click blends together and they do not individually change the gameplay experience. That is to say, a single click and 100 clicks are not meaningfully different in terms of engaging the player. I'd go as far as to say clicking 100 times would be actively worse, as it's artificially delaying the next piece of actual content, alongside the issues of accessibility and potentially causing RSI.

Repeatable Purchases ​

Imagine an entity in a game that you can purchase multiple times, each time it performs the same thing but for a higher cost. These are incredibly common, from the buildings in cookie clicker to the units in swarm sim to the IP and EP multipliers in antimatter dimensions. However, how much content is each specific purchase? Is it content beyond the first purchase? Does it have diminishing returns? What if you are oscillating between two different repeatable purchases? How much content is lost when you automate) away a repeatable purchase?

I don't want to take too harsh a stance against repeatable purchases. They're useful tools and can be used in a myriad of interesting ways. I feel they do become "stale" or less meaningful content over time, and this happens exponentially quickly the more frequently it can be purchased. A classic example that I believe goes too far is the IP/EP multipliers in Antimatter Dimensions. I would go as far as to say they are a chore and do not provide any meaningful content after you've bought them a couple of times. It's a method for inflating numbers (effectively making every OOM a 5x step instead of 10x), that punishes the player progression-wise whenever they forget to max it again, and eventually gets automated away as a reward to the player for making enough progress.

Just to voice the other side of this argument, Acamaeda defended the IP multiplier as giving the player a "good" upgrade every OOM. I can understand that to a point and need to clarify I'm mainly criticizing IP/EP multipliers after they've been introduced for a while. In fact, I would defend the multipliers for a short while after they're introduced using the same logic I would use to defend normal dimensions as repeatable purchases, at least pre-infinity. There's "content" to be had in looking at what dimensions will become affordable next, and then choosing which to buy amongst those. The IP/EP multipliers, early into infinity or eternity respectively, provide another option that gets put into that mental queue of things to buy with each OOM reached - although the optimal order is often quite trivial and not particularly engaging.

The IP/EP multipliers are not the only repeatable purchase in antimatter dimensions I take offense to. The time dimensions are also a series of repeatable purchases, that are all so similar and static that it doesn't take long before you never need to put any thought into buying them, how much you're buying at once, or the order you buy them in - you just press max all and move on. The entire tab could've been just the max all button and it would not have made a difference beyond the start of the eternity layer. The normal dimensions technically have this problem as well, but since you're constantly getting antimatter the order feels like it has a larger impact and it's more meaningful content, right up until they're automated away. Infinity dimensions are a compromise between the two, so I'm highlighting time dimensions here as the most egregious.

Following Instructions ​

We're getting more and more controversial as we go along! Let's talk about how linear content is not content now (in some circumstances). A trend in incremental games is adding difficulty by adding a web of effects that abstract the true change you can expect from any specific purchase or decision you make. If a game is both linear and sufficiently abstracts the effect of player decisions, then the player will no longer be engaging with the content - they'll simply be clicking on things as they become available. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, as plenty of players don't mind this style of gameplay, but I'd argue once you reach a point where players don't bother reading the effects, those interactions are no longer truly content. Note that unlike the previous qualifiers mentioned, this qualifier is based on the player, and therefore subjective. In effect, it's a spectrum where the more complicated the web of effects becomes, the more likely it is to disengage the player.

This over-complicatedness leading to disengaging the player can also happen from non-linear gameplay. If the web of effects becomes sufficiently complicated and finding the optimal progression route too time-consuming to discover, players will seek out guides from other players who've completed the game. The second they do this, the game effectively becomes linearly following the instructions of the guide and all the above criticisms apply. Similarly to as before, though, this is a spectrum and not everyone will seek out a guide at the same level of difficulty.

Automation

Automation is a staple of the genre, but it has certain implications for the design of the game. Why, when new content is introduced, must the older content be automated away - why is it a chore and it feels rewarding to not have to do it again? Why does the new mechanic have such appeal if we know it too will just be automated away later on, and we'll be happy when that happens? It honestly begs the question of why this framework of introducing content and automating the old content is even enjoyable - and nearly nonexistent in other genres. You're not going to reach a point in a platformer game where they just automate the jumping part - that's the core mechanic! Instead, platformers either add new mechanics that build on the core mechanic or at least re-contextualize the core mechanic. However, in incremental games new content very frequently means replacing older content, as opposed to augmenting it.

Admittedly, the above paragraph ignores the obvious answer that separates incremental games in this regard. These mechanics become chores as their frequency increases. The frequency increases to give a sense of progression, and automation is seen as a reward because it now manages what was becoming unmanageable. The new content then comes in and continues the loop to give a stronger sense of progression. That's all good and a fine justification for automating content instead of building upon the base mechanic. It's also much easier to design, as each layer essentially lets you start over instead of needing to think of ideas that conform to the original core mechanic.

So, what's the problem? Even if this trend is justified and easy to implement, there are some other effects it has on the game design. First off, and this is probably a neutral point, incremental games with this cycle of replacing old mechanics with new ones trend towards more and more abstract and further away from any narrative throughline as they add layers. There are only so many justifications for resetting progress, so if a game wants to have several of these layers they're inevitably going to become generic or increasingly loosely associated with the original content. It's most unfortunate, in my opinion when an interesting or innovative core mechanic gets fully automated once a generic "prestige" layer is unlocked.

A recent example is Really Grass Cutting Incremental, an incremental game about cutting grass (although I'm really criticizing the Roblox game it's based on). Except, it doesn't continue to be about cutting grass. After you buy enough upgrades to increase your grass cutting and level up sufficiently you "prestige", an abstract term that in this case means you reset all your progress to get some currency to buy upgrades that do the same things as the original upgrades, but these won't reset on future prestiges. You'll eventually be able to "crystallize", which means you reset all your progress to get some currency to buy upgrades that do the same things as the original upgrades (and a couple of new ones) and won't reset on future crystallizes. Fine. You'll progress a bit, complete some challenges, and finally get to... grasshop? Grasshopping is this mechanic where you reset all your progress to get some resource that isn't for buying upgrades - this time you just unlock different modifiers on everything based on their amount. You may have gotten the point by now, but there are also "steelie" resets which give you steel for some reason, before unlocking a factory with various machines - none of which are directly tied to cutting grass, and start gathering things like oil and reset for rocket parts and reset to go to space and so on and so on. Throughout all of this there is absolutely no narrative justification or throughline for the direction the game is going, or why cutting grass is still relevant when we're collecting things like rocket parts. I may be going a little hard on GCI, but it is far from alone.

Ending the Game ​

Incremental games do not often have a planned out narrative or ending,, such that each content update is approached as its own unit of narrative and gameplay. This prevents content updates from wrapping up the game nicely - it always has to leave something open for another content layer; be it another mechanic, reset layer, etc. This cycle will continue until the updates just stop, at which point the game will just have an unsatisfying conclusion that will never get the next thing it was supposed to be leading into. This reminds me of a Leonardo Da Vinci quote about how Art is Never Complete:

Art is never finished, only abandoned. - Leonardo Da Vinci

For what its worth, there are exceptions here (including several of My Projects). I believe this practice is actually fairly reasonable, considering how many incremental game developers are learning game design and programming - keeping the scope small and expanding if it still interests you is a great way to keep learning without letting things like perfectionism or sunk cost fallacies get in the way.

Tips for Developers ​

If you're a developer, by this point you should have a pretty decent idea of how to create "true" content in your game. Here are some other specific tips I'd suggest:

An upgrade that simply unlocks another upgrade trivially isn't content. However, many games have an upgrade that just unlocks a feature, which then has a wait or other requirements before it can be used. Try to make sure when you unlock a feature, there is immediately something to do with the feature - for example, perhaps give them a small amount of the new currency it unlocks, if applicable.

If you don't have a large web of effects, and can definitively say the impact of a purchase is to multiply the gain of the cost currency by N, and the next purchase costs N times the amount of that same currency, then this purchase effectively made no difference and it may have made more sense to just go directly to the next upgrade. That said, having effects based on things like the number of purchases made will quickly invalidate this tip.

Guide to Incrementals/What is Content?

If you've been in the incremental games community for any amount of time, you'll quickly find the number one thing players want is content. They want as much of it as possible! The most popular incremental games have tons of content, so they just keep stretching on and on and on, introducing mechanic after mechanic, and players love it. In fact, players seem to value the amount of content over the quality of any specific content. However, there's a bit of a lack of understanding concerning what content is, and I'd like to explore what counts as content, and how we measure it. As a baseline definition, I think "content" can just be described as the parts of the game that engage the player, but to truly understand it we need to contextualize what that means and how it affects the gameplay experience.

To clarify the purpose of this page, my goal is not to get (too) nitpicky or to attack games with "low content". There's nothing wrong with short / low-content games - I'm quite a big fan of those games myself! This is mostly targeted toward those who ask for content and settle for "long" games, and those who want to provide content but want to make sure they're not just artificially inflating the game. Ultimately, I suppose the goal is to just reduce the amount of artificially inflated content for the sake of having a "longer" game.

Interaction ​

I think it should be a fairly non-controversial opinion that time spent solely waiting should not count towards content. That is not including the time reading various effects or making decisions in your head, but rather time spent waiting for a condition to be met so you can re-engage with the game.

That is not to say games should necessarily try to minimize this time. Plenty of games lead towards more infrequent interaction and still get popular. In fact, these games appeal to many gamers who want to have something to check up on in between bursts of working on some other activity. These games seem to have fallen slightly out of fashion amongst modern incremental games, but they're still fully valid. The point I'm trying to make here is just that this time is not content. As an extreme example, a game with no interactions and just a counter that goes up every second could safely be said to have 0 content beyond the time it takes to understand what's going on. If it has a list of "goals" to hit, then the time understanding those goals and a short time after achieving each one could be considered content, but not the idle times in between.

Let's take a look at the opposite end of the spectrum - interaction that is so frequent as to become mindless. This is any mechanic where you need to spam-click something to progress. This may be a more controversial take, but I do not believe this constitutes content either. It does not engage the player, because each consecutive click blends together and they do not individually change the gameplay experience. That is to say, a single click and 100 clicks are not meaningfully different in terms of engaging the player. I'd go as far as to say clicking 100 times would be actively worse, as it's artificially delaying the next piece of actual content, alongside the issues of accessibility and potentially causing RSI.

Repeatable Purchases ​

Imagine an entity in a game that you can purchase multiple times, each time it performs the same thing but for a higher cost. These are incredibly common, from the buildings in cookie clicker to the units in swarm sim to the IP and EP multipliers in antimatter dimensions. However, how much content is each specific purchase? Is it content beyond the first purchase? Does it have diminishing returns? What if you are oscillating between two different repeatable purchases? How much content is lost when you automate) away a repeatable purchase?

I don't want to take too harsh a stance against repeatable purchases. They're useful tools and can be used in a myriad of interesting ways. I feel they do become "stale" or less meaningful content over time, and this happens exponentially quickly the more frequently it can be purchased. A classic example that I believe goes too far is the IP/EP multipliers in Antimatter Dimensions. I would go as far as to say they are a chore and do not provide any meaningful content after you've bought them a couple of times. It's a method for inflating numbers (effectively making every OOM a 5x step instead of 10x), that punishes the player progression-wise whenever they forget to max it again, and eventually gets automated away as a reward to the player for making enough progress.

Just to voice the other side of this argument, Acamaeda defended the IP multiplier as giving the player a "good" upgrade every OOM. I can understand that to a point and need to clarify I'm mainly criticizing IP/EP multipliers after they've been introduced for a while. In fact, I would defend the multipliers for a short while after they're introduced using the same logic I would use to defend normal dimensions as repeatable purchases, at least pre-infinity. There's "content" to be had in looking at what dimensions will become affordable next, and then choosing which to buy amongst those. The IP/EP multipliers, early into infinity or eternity respectively, provide another option that gets put into that mental queue of things to buy with each OOM reached - although the optimal order is often quite trivial and not particularly engaging.

The IP/EP multipliers are not the only repeatable purchase in antimatter dimensions I take offense to. The time dimensions are also a series of repeatable purchases, that are all so similar and static that it doesn't take long before you never need to put any thought into buying them, how much you're buying at once, or the order you buy them in - you just press max all and move on. The entire tab could've been just the max all button and it would not have made a difference beyond the start of the eternity layer. The normal dimensions technically have this problem as well, but since you're constantly getting antimatter the order feels like it has a larger impact and it's more meaningful content, right up until they're automated away. Infinity dimensions are a compromise between the two, so I'm highlighting time dimensions here as the most egregious.

Following Instructions ​

We're getting more and more controversial as we go along! Let's talk about how linear content is not content now (in some circumstances). A trend in incremental games is adding difficulty by adding a web of effects that abstract the true change you can expect from any specific purchase or decision you make. If a game is both linear and sufficiently abstracts the effect of player decisions, then the player will no longer be engaging with the content - they'll simply be clicking on things as they become available. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, as plenty of players don't mind this style of gameplay, but I'd argue once you reach a point where players don't bother reading the effects, those interactions are no longer truly content. Note that unlike the previous qualifiers mentioned, this qualifier is based on the player, and therefore subjective. In effect, it's a spectrum where the more complicated the web of effects becomes, the more likely it is to disengage the player.

This over-complicatedness leading to disengaging the player can also happen from non-linear gameplay. If the web of effects becomes sufficiently complicated and finding the optimal progression route too time-consuming to discover, players will seek out guides from other players who've completed the game. The second they do this, the game effectively becomes linearly following the instructions of the guide and all the above criticisms apply. Similarly to as before, though, this is a spectrum and not everyone will seek out a guide at the same level of difficulty.

Automation

Automation is a staple of the genre, but it has certain implications for the design of the game. Why, when new content is introduced, must the older content be automated away - why is it a chore and it feels rewarding to not have to do it again? Why does the new mechanic have such appeal if we know it too will just be automated away later on, and we'll be happy when that happens? It honestly begs the question of why this framework of introducing content and automating the old content is even enjoyable - and nearly nonexistent in other genres. You're not going to reach a point in a platformer game where they just automate the jumping part - that's the core mechanic! Instead, platformers either add new mechanics that build on the core mechanic or at least re-contextualize the core mechanic. However, in incremental games new content very frequently means replacing older content, as opposed to augmenting it.

Admittedly, the above paragraph ignores the obvious answer that separates incremental games in this regard. These mechanics become chores as their frequency increases. The frequency increases to give a sense of progression, and automation is seen as a reward because it now manages what was becoming unmanageable. The new content then comes in and continues the loop to give a stronger sense of progression. That's all good and a fine justification for automating content instead of building upon the base mechanic. It's also much easier to design, as each layer essentially lets you start over instead of needing to think of ideas that conform to the original core mechanic.

So, what's the problem? Even if this trend is justified and easy to implement, there are some other effects it has on the game design. First off, and this is probably a neutral point, incremental games with this cycle of replacing old mechanics with new ones trend towards more and more abstract and further away from any narrative throughline as they add layers. There are only so many justifications for resetting progress, so if a game wants to have several of these layers they're inevitably going to become generic or increasingly loosely associated with the original content. It's most unfortunate, in my opinion when an interesting or innovative core mechanic gets fully automated once a generic "prestige" layer is unlocked.

A recent example is Really Grass Cutting Incremental, an incremental game about cutting grass (although I'm really criticizing the Roblox game it's based on). Except, it doesn't continue to be about cutting grass. After you buy enough upgrades to increase your grass cutting and level up sufficiently you "prestige", an abstract term that in this case means you reset all your progress to get some currency to buy upgrades that do the same things as the original upgrades, but these won't reset on future prestiges. You'll eventually be able to "crystallize", which means you reset all your progress to get some currency to buy upgrades that do the same things as the original upgrades (and a couple of new ones) and won't reset on future crystallizes. Fine. You'll progress a bit, complete some challenges, and finally get to... grasshop? Grasshopping is this mechanic where you reset all your progress to get some resource that isn't for buying upgrades - this time you just unlock different modifiers on everything based on their amount. You may have gotten the point by now, but there are also "steelie" resets which give you steel for some reason, before unlocking a factory with various machines - none of which are directly tied to cutting grass, and start gathering things like oil and reset for rocket parts and reset to go to space and so on and so on. Throughout all of this there is absolutely no narrative justification or throughline for the direction the game is going, or why cutting grass is still relevant when we're collecting things like rocket parts. I may be going a little hard on GCI, but it is far from alone.

Ending the Game ​

Incremental games do not often have a planned out narrative or ending,, such that each content update is approached as its own unit of narrative and gameplay. This prevents content updates from wrapping up the game nicely - it always has to leave something open for another content layer; be it another mechanic, reset layer, etc. This cycle will continue until the updates just stop, at which point the game will just have an unsatisfying conclusion that will never get the next thing it was supposed to be leading into. This reminds me of a Leonardo Da Vinci quote about how Art is Never Complete:

Art is never finished, only abandoned. - Leonardo Da Vinci

For what its worth, there are exceptions here (including several of My Projects). I believe this practice is actually fairly reasonable, considering how many incremental game developers are learning game design and programming - keeping the scope small and expanding if it still interests you is a great way to keep learning without letting things like perfectionism or sunk cost fallacies get in the way.

Tips for Developers ​

If you're a developer, by this point you should have a pretty decent idea of how to create "true" content in your game. Here are some other specific tips I'd suggest:

An upgrade that simply unlocks another upgrade trivially isn't content. However, many games have an upgrade that just unlocks a feature, which then has a wait or other requirements before it can be used. Try to make sure when you unlock a feature, there is immediately something to do with the feature - for example, perhaps give them a small amount of the new currency it unlocks, if applicable.

If you don't have a large web of effects, and can definitively say the impact of a purchase is to multiply the gain of the cost currency by N, and the next purchase costs N times the amount of that same currency, then this purchase effectively made no difference and it may have made more sense to just go directly to the next upgrade. That said, having effects based on things like the number of purchases made will quickly invalidate this tip.

Imperialism

770 words, ~4 minute read. Planted -.

Referenced by:LeftismMy Political Beliefs

Imperialism refers to how, after all the survivable land in the world was claimed by various countries (as part of colonialism), a country - or empire - must spread its influence over new territory at cost of existing influences over that territory. Typically this has meant land being transferred, either militarily or diplomatically.

Imperialism and Capitalism ​

Lenin wrote an influential pamphlet over his interpretation of imperialism, called "Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism". He argued imperialism was inextricably linked with capitalism, and that the driving force of imperialism was corporations gaining control over natural resources to use for profit, and to improve their position relative to opposing powers. An imperialist war, such as the ones the US has fought in the Middle East, serve both the interests of US oil companies as well as the US itself for its position relative to other imperialist powers. This view has been supported by modern leftist scholars like Michael Parenti in his book Face of Imperialism: Responsibility-Taking in the Political World.

In effect, imperialism has been used to delay resolving the contradiction between the need to expand and the physical limits of the globe. This contradiction cannot be fully resolved under a capitalist system, which requires the need to expand infinitely. Therefore, fighting imperialism means fighting capitalism. Removing power from corporations and banks largely nullifies the reasons for imperialism and is the best path towards global peace.

US Imperialism ​

The size of the US empire is not obvious just by looking at a map of the world, due to its reliance on economic influence and soft power. The US also imperializes through its remaining colonies, proxy wars, and foreign military bases. Second thought has a good introductory video on how significant some of those influences are in How The US Took Over The World.

A lot of these conflicts abroad are done in the open, such as the conflicts part of the war on terror. In this case the government needs to justify to its citizens going to war, which you'll typically see happen regardless of who's in charge. This is a process called manufactured consent, as described by Herman and Chomsky in Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media, although it is not perfect and the US has a history of anti-war protest movements. The vietnam war was our first televised war and had anti war protests even escalate into riots. Today through social media the impact of war is more accessible than ever before, and the Israel-Palestine conflict has had one of the largest anti-war movements yet, although still not as large as Vietnam.

While there are several imperialist powers in the world, the US is a particularly influential one that I, as an American citizen, have the most personal interest in stopping. I believe if the US moved towards socialism the overall influence of capitalism in the world would diminish so thoroughly that it would only further decline into non-existence. This would affect not only the prosperity of the world but save many lives as well: Western imperialism has caused 50-55 million deaths since WW2 as claimed by Andre Vltchek in On western terror, and US-backed conflicts show no sign of stopping so long as capitalist interests remain.

Impact of Imperialism on the Development of the Global South ​

The global south refers to a collection of countries that are under-developed compared to the "global north", and have historically been victims of colonialism and imperialism. Today, the global south makes up 90% of global labor but only receives 21% of globally produced value, according to Jason Hickel et al in Unequal exchange of labour in the world economy. Jason has previously calculated that the global north extracted $242 trillion in value from the global south between 1990 and 2015 alone, despite only returning 1/30th of that in the form of foreign aid, in Imperialist appropriation in the world economy: Drain from the global South through unequal exchange, 1990–2015.

It's worth noting that Hickel is discussing all of the global north, not just the US, but US corporations make heavy use of exploitation by underpaying workers without any form of representation for the exploited or assistance in modernizing these countries ("catching up" developmentally). They allow corporations to act with essentially impunity, not enforcing any form of ethics or ensuring the development of the countries they're getting labor and resources from isn't stagnant. Earth Rights International reported on how Nestle and Cargill were sued for using child slavery in West Africa and after 15 years of legal process finally decided the US-based corporations were not liable for these human rights violations.

In contrast to the US, China has the Belt and Road Initiative started in 2013 where the state itself will lend money to improve the infrastructure development of these countries (and some in the global north as well), and allow for fully free trade (no tariffs) from the particularly underdeveloped. It faced initial backlash, which China responded to by improving their reporting standards and transparency with the countries they've signed contracts with, as described in China’s response to Belt and Road backlash. The initiative has continued to expand since then, and now has contracts with around 150 countries as listed by the Green Finance & Development Center in Countries of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), and accounts for around 20 trillion USD of trade, as reported by China in 2023 in a document called Vision and Actions for High-Quality Belt and Road Cooperation: Brighter Prospects for the Next Decade (cited via an English summary). The BRI has remained controversial within the west, but sentiment seems negative overall. Since 2020 various western publications have labeled the program "debt-trap diplomacy". There are some genuine concerns - China's reluctance to forgive debt and a lack of oversight on how the lent funds are used top amongst them - but I believe they're being exaggerated due to western's biases towards capitalist interests and general sinophobia. I'd link a specific article but there are so many that I'll actually just recommend looking through the wikipedia article for the Belt and Road Initiative which includes various articles from a lot of sources both in favor of and in opposition to the initiative. It has literally hundreds of citations, one of the most well-cited articles I've seen. I get the overall impression that the BRI is arguably more cooperative than exploitative in nature compared to the US strategy, and the countries themselves seem to view the initiative favorably, considering 3/4 of all UN recognized countries are already part of the initiative, with very few choosing not to renew contracts.

Individualism is a Neoliberal value system centered around independence and self sufficiency. It argues for taking care of oneself before others, and that it's wrong for people to be forced to take care of others before their selves, i.e. via wealth redistribution. This value system is antithetical to the Anarchist values of community and mutual aid. I personally am against individualism and see it as against humans nature of cooperation. We're a social people and have for our entire existence relied upon each other.

As a personal anecdote, I'm a recent parent and the whole "it takes a village" adage makes a lot of sense, and has made me hyper aware of how individualism has made it very hard to raise a kid these days. There's no 3 generations living in a house anymore, and suburbs are spread out and isolating, preventing strong Local Communities from forming. To sum up, the "village" doesn't exist anymore.

Hyper individualism is a modern invention, not a "good ole traditional value" we should all aspire to. It was explicitly created by capitalist values, and replaced pre-existing value systems that prioritized co-operation.

My Political Journey has brought me to the broad label of being a leftist. Leftism encompasses many ideologies, each with unique visions for an egalitarian society and strategies to achieve it. These pages are my tool to test my understanding by articulating these ideas in my own terms. I don't care to label myself any further than leftist, as in my mind I'm still a student of leftist ideologies and have personally been finding insight across the spectrum of leftist ideologies. As a reminder, this digital garden is a perpetual work in progress and only reflects my understanding of a topic at time of writing.

What is Leftism? ​

Leftism refers to a wide range of political ideologies that share a general opposition to hierarchical structures, particularly class hierarchies. Leftists seek an egalitarian society, though their vision of what this entails and how to achieve it vary significantly. They aim to replace systems based on profit and exploitation with ones prioritizing collective well-being. This typically places them against capitalism, however some leftists seek to retain the role of markets and sometimes even private property.

Major Leftist Ideologies ​

Marxism-Leninism ​

Marxist-Leninists believe the way towards communism - a classless, stateless, moneyless society - requires a transitionary phase called the "dictatorship of the proletariat". This involves a revolutionary vanguard party seizing control of the state to protect against counter-revolutionary forces and reorganize society along socialist lines. The vanguard party will typically do so by taking advantage of a crisis brought on by the contradictions of capitalism. As material abundance is achieved and exploitation becomes structurally impossible, the state will "wither away," giving rise to communism.

Examples of MLism include the Soviet Union and other 20th century communist movements.

Critiques of MLism focus on the authoritarian nature of the transitionary phase and whether the state will truly willingly "wither away" as described.

Maoism and Dengism are adaptations of MLism that apply it to the specific context of China following its Communist Revolution.

Anarchism ​

Anarchists reject the state entirely, viewing it as an inherently oppressive institution that cannot be reformed or repurposed for liberation. Anarchism envisions the immediate transition to a classless, stateless, moneyless society organized through voluntary associations, mutual aid, and decentralized decision-making. Unlike Marxist-Leninists, anarchists argue against any transitionary state, believing it will perpetuate hierarchy rather than dismantle it.

Historical examples include the anarchist collectives in Catalonia during the Spanish Civil War, which experimented with decentralized governance and worker control.

Critics of anarchism often point to decentralized systems being harder to "scale up" without introducing oppressive hierarchies, and their vulnerability to coordinated external threats.

The page dedicated to anarchism will philosophically explore what a stateless society looks like, but does not really cover the process of transitioning from capitalism to anarchism, as I have little confidence such a process is truly possible without a state to protect it, so long as capitalists and other reactionary powers exist.

Market Socialisms and Reformism ​

In contrast to anarchism and communism, these ideologies see markets as a tool for innovation and resource allocation, and argue for transitioning an existing state towards socialism without a vanguard party or revolution.

Syndicalism advocates for decentralized worker control through labor unions that would, through strikes and occupations, control the economy.

Social democracy and democratic socialism focus on reforming capitalist from the existing democratic processes, with the goal of reducing inequality and expanding social welfare. Bernie Sanders is a famous democratic socialist politician in America.

Anarchism vs Communism ​

Anarchism and communism are interesting in that they both describe a classless, stateless, and moneyless society. A society free from class antagonisms and the coercive apparatus of the state. They're both materialist schools of thought that both aim for the collective liberation of all and the abolition of hierarchical power structures. Yet famously these two groups have been at odds throughout history, such as after the Russian Revolution. They have a fundamental disagreement on how to arrive at their ideal society, and those differences are very interesting to explore. These differences not only feed into conflicts between the two groups, but undoubtedly yet subtly shape the society they're ostensibly both striving for.

Communism Strategy ​

Communists argue for a transitionary state - the "dictatorship of the proletariat" - as necessary for defending the revolution from both internal and external counter-revolutionary forces, as well as reorganizing the economy along socialist and eventually communism lines. This is a very long process, as they ultimately believe they need to abolish the material basis for class society, perhaps on a global scale due to Imperialism , before the process is complete. Nevertheless, the state is still seen as a temporary mechanism that will eventually become obsolete and naturally "wither away", as described by Lenin in State and Revolution:

And so in capitalist society we have a democracy that is curtailed, wretched, false, a democracy only for the rich, for the minority. The dictatorship of the proletariat, the period of transition to communism, will for the first time create democracy for the people, for the majority, along with the necessary suppression of the exploiters, of the minority. Communism alone is capable of providing really complete democracy, and the more complete it is, the sooner it will become unnecessary and wither away of its own accord.

In the same document, Lenin describes a talk by Engels to anarchists where he exasperatedly points out they share a common vision for ideal society, and they just disagree on the justifications for a transitionary state. Engels believed not installing the transitionary state would mean not being able to "crush the resistance of the bourgeoisie". That the immediate abolition of the state is impractical in the face of the immense power of capitalist and other reactionary forces.

Anarchist Strategy ​

Anarchists, on the other hand, refute the concept of a transitionary state as a necessary construct; they see installing a state of any kind as a reactionary obstacle to achieving their ideal society. Anarchists see the state as an inherently oppressive institution that cannot be reformed nor repurposed for liberation. As put by Kropotkin in The State: Its Historic Role:

There are those, on the one hand, who hope to achieve the social revolution through the State by preserving and even extending most of its powers to be used for the revolution. And there are those like ourselves who see the State, both in its present form, in its very essence, and in whatever guise it might appear, an obstacle to the social revolution, the greatest hindrance to the birth of a society based on equality and liberty, as well as the historic means designed to prevent this blossoming. The latter work to abolish the State and not to reform it.

They argue that regardless of intent, states are structurally designed to centralize power and perpetuate hierarchy. They believe a state will intrinsically lead to a new ruling class and undermining the revolutionary aims of equality and freedom. And most importantly, they do not accept that a state could "wither away of its own accord", but rather would forever justify its continued existence. As Bakunin put in Statism and Anarchy:

The differences between revolutionary dictatorship and statism are superficial. Fundamentally they both represent the same principle of minority rule over the majority in the name of the alleged “stupidity” of the latter and the alleged “intelligence” of the former. Therefore they are both equally reactionary since both directly and inevitably must preserve and perpetuate the political and economic privileges of the ruling minority and the political and economic subjugation of the masses of the people.

It should be noted that Marx responded to this text, reaffirming that the state would go away due to resource distribution becoming apolitical once abundance is achieved.

Naturally, anarchists also do not believe the economic role of the transitionary state is necessary either, but that a society, even pre-revolution, can work towards meeting the needs of everyone at the local community level through mutual aid and a focus on sustainable living.

Differences in their Visions ​

Due to the different paths to get there, the society each group strives for will be distinct in important ways, despite sharing the common characteristics of being classless, stateless, and moneyless. Communists arrived here almost incidentally after eradicating the material conditions for exploitation. They'll have reached an economic state of abundance, post-scarcity. Although Lenin makes it clear he still believes individuals can consume in excess and must be stopped, although he does not see the state as necessary for that effort:

We are not utopians, and do not in the least deny the possibility and inevitability of excesses on the part of individual persons, or the need to stop such excesses. In the first place, however, no special machine, no special apparatus of suppression, is needed for this: this will be done by the armed people themselves, as simply and as readily as any crowd of civilized people, even in modern society, interferes to put a stop to a scuffle or to prevent a woman from being assaulted. And, secondly, we know that the fundamental social cause of excesses, which consist in the violation of the rules of social intercourse, is the exploitation of the people, their want and their poverty. With the removal of this chief cause, excesses will inevitably begin to "wither away".

The take away here is that the communist vision may happen to be stateless and even follow some anarchist principles, but it was not designed to rigorously uphold all anarchist values. Of particular note, the advanced productive powers developed by the transitionary state would likely be a fairly centralized construct, even without a formal state, which anarchists would see as a coercive force that goes against the principle of free association. Anarchists, instead, would keep the economy decentralized, managing production on the local level guided by the principles of mutual aid and sustainability.

Leftist Infighting ​

Leftist infighting has long been a meme. While their disagreements are inevitable and valid, their intensity is often exacerbated by external forces seeking to dismantle leftist movements. The lack of a unifying framework is what makes leftism in particular susceptible to infighting.

The status quo creates an aligning force for similar ideologies, and makes any ideologies far away from the status quo feel comparatively dissimilar.

Marxist-Leninists advocate for a concept called democratic centralism to combat infighting. It mandates unity of action while allowing for internal debate and discussion. It's particularly useful and relevant for a vanguard party to ensure it is clear who has taken power following a revolution, rather than creating a power vacuum that can be exploited by imperialist powers. However, critics argue democratic centralism can stifle dissent and foster authoritarianism.

Moving Forward ​

As I describe in A Plea to Organize, despite differences between the different ideologies, my advice is still the same: Organize! Join local communities, regardless of affiliation, and support leftism and the community. Mutual aid efforts are particularly helpful and can be found on Mutual Aid Hub.

Additionally: Study! Read theory and better understand leftist ideologies of all stripes. It helps you better understand the philosophies underpinning these ideologies and in turn become a better leftist.

My Political Journey has brought me to the broad label of being a leftist. Leftism encompasses many ideologies, each with unique visions for an egalitarian society and strategies to achieve it. These pages are my tool to test my understanding by articulating these ideas in my own terms. I don't care to label myself any further than leftist, as in my mind I'm still a student of leftist ideologies and have personally been finding insight across the spectrum of leftist ideologies. As a reminder, this digital garden is a perpetual work in progress and only reflects my understanding of a topic at time of writing.

A series of narrative driven video games with a focus on player choices

I really enjoyed the first game and engaged with the community a lot. I would get very emotional playing through the later chapters, and it became one of my favorite games.

Playthroughs I enjoyed:

Around the start of Haley and I's relationship, we'd play through LiS1 on projectors in our's classrooms

The ending ​

I was not a huge fan of the ending of Life is Strange. Of the two endings, one very clearly got a lot more resources spent on it, but I think Max's story has a better conclusion under the other.

In my mind, Max's arc (and major themes of the last chapter) was about learning not to rely on her powers, and to learn to live with the consequences of her actions. To that end, having the game end with her taking responsibility and living with the consequences of such a major event is a fitting thematic conclusion to the game and her character arc. In contrast, the other ending shows Max relying on her powers once again and, in my opinion, portrays Max as having not grown nor learned any lessons throughout the entire series. I think its a disservice this ending got so much more attention, with unique outfits and a song dedicated to it.

Life is Strange: Before the Storm ​

I really enjoyed this story. I didn't get quite as invested, perhaps due to it being a condensed 3 chapters rather than 5, but the characters will still just as amazing, which is what makes LiS so good. The ending didn't have as much of a punch as LiS1 - in fact, the entire back half of episode 3 didn't quite meet the bar in my eyes. At the time, I enjoyed these threads discussing criticisms levied at that part of the game:

Deadbones played through the game here

The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit ​

I enjoyed the demo, and it certainly got me hyped for LiS2 (although I would've been regardless). Switching to UE seemed like a really good move, and the comic theme fits the aesthetic of the series well.

Life is Strange 2 ​

Unfortunately, I've only played the first chapter of this game. I wanted to play through it with Haley, but we haven't found time to do so.

LATER Skip the rest of LiS1 and play LiS2 with Haley

Life is Strange: True Colors ​

This game seems interesting, although the power does seem a little funnily close to "has empathy". I haven't had time to play it, but would like to.

Life is Strange: Double Exposure ​

I'm very excited for this game! Returning to Max's story sounds awesome. Although I will say, from the trailer alone it's incredibly obvious what one of the story beats will be: Revealing that the two timelines follow the two disparate endings from LiS1.

This game was announced to come with premium editions that get access to the game earlier

  • I think this is a horrible anti-consumer practice
  • Since this game is narratively driven, it is prone to spoilers
  • They're getting more money from their biggest fans without providing any tangible value to them, other than making the experience worse for everyone who plays but doesn't cough up that money

Local Communities

302 words, ~2 minute read. Planted -.

Referenced by:AnarchismIndividualism

Strongly connected local communities are important to have. They satisfy our social needs for in-person connections, and help organize mutual aid. These needs cannot be sufficiently satisfied exclusively by online friends/communities - of particular note, new parents need help raising their kid.

Historically, society has had these strongly connected local communities, via the way society was organized (i.e. tribes, multi-generational households, etc.) or through entities that focused on community (i.e. local churches). Churches in particular would ensure everyone meets up regularly to see each other, connect, and catch up. They'd host community events and services throughout the year, and mobilize the community during emergencies.

The religious aspect of churches was never a requirement for the benefits they contributed to their local communities, and in fact there are mega-churches today that do not confer these benefits despite retaining the religious aspect.

There are several reasons for why local communities have since weakened. The car has weakened them by making the people physically more spread out and reducing the number of "third places". The internet created a convenient alternative whose communities were not immediately recognized as insufficient imitations of in person communities. Newer generations trend towards irreligiousness, making churches decreasingly popular. Combined, these changes have led to a cultural shift towards Individualism and Neoliberalism that has further cemented our weakened local communities.

The way to "fix" our local communities and make them more strongly connected is to support multi-generational households, increasing population density, and using or creating entities that can replace the community-building role of the church. Such alternatives could be community centers or HOAs. HOAs get a bad reputation due to their tendency to attract those who want power to micro-manage the community, but there are ways to organize them to mitigate that issue (see Anarchism).

This is the list of tools I use for browsing the internet in a safe way that ensures it's a pleasant experience.

Browser ​

I've used a lot of browsers over time, and currently use Zen because of it's modern look. At this point I really just recommend any fork of Firefox (such as Zen). Mozilla has seen its fair share of controversy, but nowhere near the amount Google has, and it's worth using a Firefox based browser in order to fight the chrome monopoly.

Other great Firefox forks to look at are librewolf and waterfox, which are privacy centric and lightweight and run faster than stock firefox.

Extensions ​

A classic recommendation you've probably already heard, uBlock Origin is a requirement for browsing the internet. Ads spy on you and significantly degrade your browsing experience, and this extension fixes that. Gorhill, it's creator, deserves so much appreciation for the service they've done to the entire world.

Youtube ​

If you browse YouTube in your browser, you might be interested in these extensions as well:

Sponsorblock uses crowd sourced information on YouTube videos to automatically skip past parts you don't care about, like sponsor reads or calls to like or subscribe.

DeArrow uses crowd sourced information on YouTube videos to replace the original titles with more descriptive ones (to avoid click bait). It'll also replace thumbnails with random frames from the video itself. Note this extension asks for a $1 donation or to request free access, which can take a few hours (but you can "trial" the extension in the meantime).

With the advent of AI generated content, it has become much more difficult to search the web. Here's some techniques to find useful, original, human made resources.

If you'd like to clean up your mainstream search engine results(Google, DuckDuckGo, or Bing), you can use the Huge AI Blocklist. The list works with uBlock Origin, but they recommend using uBlacklist, an extension specifically for blocking certain Google search results.

If you're willing to pay, Kagi is a premium search engine you may be interested in. Being a paid service, it doesn't rely on ads or tracking to make a profit, and has a great reputation for high quality results and additional features free search engines don't have like personalized rankings for domains.

There is also an independent search engine called Marginalia that designed to show you non commercialized sites that are typically smaller and independent, which acts as a great filter to only see human made resources.

Finally, if your goal is just privacy, the extension mentioned in the following section will help redirect you to alternative search engines as well.

Privacy respecting front ends ​

There are many projects out there that offer sites you can go to that interface with popular but not privacy respecting websites like YouTube or Twitter. This is personally a bit overkill for me, but I've considered using them in the past. Rather than looking up each alternative directly and finding a working instance, I recommend just using a regularly maintained extension that automatically redirects you from the popular site to a working instance of the alternative frontend, like Privacy Redirect.

I use Logseq to journal and collect my thoughts on various topics that interest me

  • Seafile syncs my logseq files between my devices
  • Git syncs my logseq files to a private repo on Incremental Social for purposes of version control and using as a submodule
  • The seafile files and all repos on Incremental Social are independently backed up daily to backblaze

My logseq files are synced to a private git repo which is added as a submodule to my website repo

A Node.js script pre-processes my logseq files into markdown files in the /garden path of the website

  • Converts all links and block references
  • Adds lists of tags and references to pages
  • Adds <h1 /> titles, word counts, update commits, etc. to each page
  • Moves the /now page to /now instead of /garden/now
  • Copies some of the Guide to Incrementals pages to /guide-to-incrementals so as to not break links made before the current site iteration
  • Generates /changelog and its RSS, Atom, and JSON feeds
    • The outputs of the generation are NOT .gitignore'd, as I use the git log to determine which pages updated when - Commit information about when a file was last updated is added via a data loader because if it was added to the file directly, rebuilding the site would count as having updated every page, by updating each commit to the changes introduced last build

Vitepress builds a static site from the markdown files

  • Includes a custom theme that makes the whole site paper-themed
  • Includes some pages like the homepage and the about me page that require markup, thus don't make sense to maintain inside logseq
  • The sidebar is generated from my favorited pages within Logseq
  • Includes various static files, like copies of several of my games and a robots.txt (borrowed from Tracy Durnell's robots.txt) that blocks several crawlers specifically used for training AI models

Three.js is used to create the effect in the background

  • Simplex noise gets used to adjust the opacity of a repeating SVG pattern
  • Initially tried to use just SVG, which supports creating noise and using it as a mask, but it only does 2d noise and I need 2d slices of 3d noise

Microformats are used to markup the site for The IndieWeb

  • The footer contains a minimal h-card with a link to my full profile
  • Each garden page is an h-entry, and the changelog an h-feed
  • All my socials are added as rel-me links, and the profiles then link back to me (as rel-me links, if allowed by the platform)
    • Together this can verify the owner of this website and those socials are the same person

Government ​

I'm definitely a Leftist, and believe our end goal should be a classless, stateless, moneyless society, but acknowledge the role of the state in defending against, at the very least, Imperialist forces abroad, so long as they exist.

I want to eventually reach a society structured as decentralized local communities that operate through Consensus Democracy , and freely associate with other communities for larger scale organizing, such as building and maintaining a rail line.

Economy ​

I believe we should eventually arrive at communism; a post-scarcity society where everyone's needs are met via automation and without the need for currency. Along the way there I expect us to democratize the workplace and work towards nationalizing every idustry.

Society ​

I believe in maximizing personal liberties, so long as one is not actively harmful to others, including most forms of discrimination.

Security ​

I'm against the use of violence by anyone, including the state. I believe in Police Abolition and am against the military and espionage both foreign and domestic. I believe in the Anarchist value of free association, so I believe we should have fully open borders, both for travel and immigration/emigration. I am anti-imperialist and believe in a fairly isolationist foreign policy, but am not against humanitarian foreign aid.

Referenced by:LeftismPolitical Quizzes

My Political Beliefs have changed over time, although I believe it mostly stems from me becoming increasingly informed. Since this website contains content from as far back as 2006, when I was only 10 years old, I'd like to make it extremely clear that I have changed as a person, as we all have, and disavow a lot of my older opinions, roughly everything before 2020 or so but to be safe let's just give a dynamic (current date - 2 years). It's likely you are on this page from viewing a timeline post from that range and clicking the banner. There are bits in that period I may still agree with, but perhaps it would be best to just assume I don't have a stance on it unless there's something more recent about it. Pages in the garden section of this site are evergreen though, meaning I'll keep them up to date as my views change. Feel completely free to judge me for my opinions in there.

Core beliefs ​

I believe I've been fairly political since I was quite young, and had a relatively consistent set of core values that have just been expressed in different ways and through different lenses during different points of my life. For example I've always believed in fairness, but have used that belief to both argue for and against affirmative action. Concepts like freedom or meritocracies have similarly been redefined as I've become more aware of the influence of imperialism and colonialism on our cultural values and society.

Other beliefs of mine have always been around, but I just wasn't informed enough to properly express my views. I've voiced for a very long time that I think society will inevitably trend towards post-scarcity, a world without class, currency, or jobs, where all our needs and desires are met fully, automatically, and sustainably. I've never once pictured that society retaining a hierarchy of wealth or power in any way. But I would not have recognized that as an anarchistic society until relatively recently, mostly due to misinformation and propaganda against anarchy.

Anti-SJW ​

Alright, I'm guessing you're specifically on this page because you saw me upvote something on r/KotakuInAction or like a video from PSASitch or something like that. I'm not proud of this time period, where I read and watched a bit of Anti-SJW content. I'm glad to have moved on from this point of my life, and wish it hadn't happened in the first place. I don't really have any excuses, but appreciate understanding that I have grown as a person since this time.

I migrated a LOT of posts to this website for the sake of having them all in one place and under my control, rather than other websites'. I have not been able to look through the tens of thousands of posts (mostly upvotes/likes), but have done some basic filtering of these opinions I no longer hold. I'm open about the fact I once held these beliefs, but I don't need to be de facto promoting them by sharing them on this website. If you stumble across a post you think I'd rather not have on this site anymore, please reach out.

Radicalization ​

I believe a lot of things contributed to my radicalization, which happened sometime in the early 2020s. Ultimately I think I was just aware that I didn't really like the views I was being exposed to, the direction that media was trying to to pull me, and slowly over time just engaged less and less with that kind of content. I'd always been very economically leftist, so just needed to get over my edgy/cringe phase. I think what put the nail in the coffin was watching through the alt right playbook, a great series I highly recommend. I also started really enjoying a lot of leftist creators, like hasanabi, philosophy tube, and others. The people around me also affect my views, and after leaving college I think I interacted with nicer people on average. Of particular note here is my wife, who had their own political journey which has similarly culminated in us sort of having a positive feedback loop further and further left. Certain events like the BLM protests following George Floyd similarly cemented our position further and further left.

I actually want to also point out I've found a lot of people in this space to be very accepting of people who previously held problematic beliefs. It's largely why I feel comfortable (enough) having a lot of my history public both on this page and the site in general, and being able to describe how my political journey got me to where I am today, a very radical Leftist.

Neoliberalism is a conservative political philosophy that emphasizes Individualism and is resistant to change/progress. It became popular with the advent of President Raegan and his sweeping changes to the US economy and government (replacing the comparatively socialist polices of the New Deal and the Great Society), and affects both the Republican and Democratic US political parties.

I believe neoliberalism primarily affected the boomer generation and generation x. This lines up with trends in protest participation, which dipped during that time (by birth cohort) and picked back up starting with Millenials. The government is still largely controlled by those generations and still very neoliberal, despite increasingly progressive and left-leaning youth demographics.

Neoliberalism often supports ideas like meritocracies, calling them fair and just. However, by ignoring the context surrounding people's abilities and socioeconomic status, meritocracies end up merely reinforcing the current status quo - and if the current status quo is unfair or unjust, so too will be the meritocracy. Needless to say, we do not currently live in a society where the status quo is fair and just.

Objectivity

Objectivity is a myth. All we have are our subjective experiences, which are shaped by our environments and it's Social Constructs.

When a social construct becomes sufficiently ingrained within society to the point it's not recognized as a construct, it can begin to be considered an "objective truth", which can lead to harmful results.

These social constructs form echo chambers around the entire society. In this way, echo chambers fractal within each other. That's not inherently a bad thing, but it's often difficult to recognize echo chambers from inside, and we're all ultimately inside at least one.

"The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum—even encourage the more critical and dissident views. That gives people the sense that there's free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate." - Noam Chomsky

In practice, the idea that objectivity doesn't exist doesn't really impact anything. Our shared experiences are similar enough that our truths about most every day things are compatible. Where this most applies is when there's an argument between two people who are reaching different conclusions despite the same level of knowledge about the topic. In theory, you could probably find a shared common ground and determine that specific logical step in which you diverge. That divergence may be explained by our subjective perspectives on the world, mixed with our personal values. However, a side may claim their side of the divergence is the correct one due to some "objective truth". This is simply not so, but is all too often used to justify bigoted arguments.

Zoe Bee, in The Language War of Politics: How Metaphors Shape Our Thinking, discusses how reality is subjective and shaped by our experiences. This is framed by how metaphors take advantage of this concept to direct how we think about the tenor (the subject of the metaphor).

Economics ​

"Objective Economics" Isn't discusses how objectivity doesn't exist (at least in the context of economics), and how those who claim there is are doing so maliciously.

Yes, neoclassical/marginalist economics — and the Austrian economics to which Carroll predictably adheres — is technically “objective” in the sense that it’s a set of rules that objectively produce the same results from a given set of inputs every time. But the axioms of Austrian economics are, in themselves, trivially — or even circularly — true. What matters is the application of those axioms in a manner sufficiently sophisticated to generate meaningful statements about complex economic phenomena. The assumptions governing that application, and even what questions to ask, reflect value judgments. Any economic paradigm involves such choices, and the choices made will render it more relevant for some purposes and less relevant for others. Those choices are unavoidably political.

They discuss how claiming objectivity is used to add credibility to an argument. However, these "objective" arguments are only true within a specific framework of rules and restrictions, which they only suggest but don't prove matches reality. They effectively erase important context that are inconvenient for their politically motivated argument, and by doing so deliberately draw wrong conclusions.

"Dress is not an art project. It's a language, and you're babbling incoherently" ​

CJ the X discusses in How Jordan Peterson's Suits Taught Me Fashion how the idea that art is subjective hindered his ability to learn fashion as a teenager. He uses the above quote to articulate how contemporary values replacing the oppressive but comparatively well defined fashion values did him a disservice. He was essentially no longer able to learn and get advice on fashion other than through his own individual experimentation. He compares it to a language, where you can learn the grammar and vocabulary, but still be unable to make sensical sentences unless you understand the how and why people put these words together - like understanding the different articles of clothing, but not the why and how they get paired together. Arguing for fashion as a language, and that despite its subjectivity there's still necessarily a learned social component, enables people to be able to teach fashion without feeling like their just upholding old bigoted values. It's also a brilliant argument for why Social Constructs can be and are useful.

He also describes the history of fashion's values, and how previously there was the idea of a singular "objective" sense of fashion, and that those who disagree are just incorrect. Essentially that meant the goal of fashion was to look like how the elites look. He argues that today fashion is still trying to look how the elites look, but now the elites are fractured - academic elites have their own fashion from, say, the elites of hip hop. This actually sounds a lot like Butler's argument for Gender Performativity.

Objectivity is a myth. All we have are our subjective experiences, which are shaped by our environments and it's Social Constructs. Often something appearing objective more likely means its biased towards either your pre-conceived opinion, or the "status quo" opinion of the society or culture the work was created in.

When a social construct becomes sufficiently ingrained within society to the point it's not recognized as a construct, it can begin to be considered an "objective truth", which can lead to harmful results.

In college I continued development on the Opti-Speech project, originally built alongside the scientific paper Opti-speech: a real-time, 3d visual feedback system for speech training

The Original Project ​

The Optispeech project involves designing and testing a real-time tongue model that can be viewed in a transparent head while a subject talks — for the purposes of treating speech errors and teaching foreign language sounds. This work has been conducted in partnership with Vulintus and with support from the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

This video shows a talker with WAVE sensors placed on the tongue hitting a virtual target sphere located at the alveolar ridge. When an alveolar consonant is hit (e.g., /s/, /n/, /d/) the sphere changes color from red to green.

This video shows an American talker learning a novel sound not found in English. When the post-alveolar consonant is hit, the target sphere changes color from red to green. Here, the NDI WAVE system serves as input.

My Work ​

As the sole programmer at UT Dallas Speech Production Lab at the time, my changes involved updating to a more modern version of Unity, improving the interface, in general cleaning up tech debt so it can more easily support new features, and added support for additional EMA systems, namely the Carstens AG501.

In addition, the program now includes documentation and unit tests to improve program stability and maintainability going forward.

This is an app I'm designing and at least building a mock for. I'd like it to either get built directly into Commune or integrate with it. The purpose of the app is to organize and grow a Network of Knowledge (or Digital Garden) sorted by topic. It achieves this through a concept called message gardening, the process of converting casual conversations into formal, referenceable stores of knowledge.

The problem I have that I'm trying to solve is having a lot of conversations about various topics stretching back far into the past and across many platforms. I often want to review something I said on a given topic and find it difficult to do so. This app would make it far easier to retrieve my notes on any topic. It's different than a traditional note-taking app because it works with conversations directly, which is how my "notes" on a topic initially start out as. As a secondary effect, this will also fix some of the issues described in the chat glue comic. I'd like it to eventually support even more of the ideas proposed in that comment, like replies and reactions to parts of a message.

The main way you interact with the app is by conversing. As you converse in your group chats and DMs, which are technically through matrix but can bridge to other platforms like discord, you can specify topic changes. These will break the conversation up into pieces, and each piece gets added to each of the topics it was about (with links to the convo from before and after that one). If a piece was about multiple topics it forms a link between those topics and considers them in some way related. These links are represented as lines in the topics graph, and cause the topics to be physically closer within the graph. Topics can use slashes to indicate hierarchy, which will also place them next to each other in the graph.

Non-conversation notes ​

In addition to including conversations, I want to support freeform notes that also discuss one or more topics. Through leaf's compositional structure, in theory any entity should be able to be added to the network.

Another type of non-conversation note could be excerpts from online articles, which could be automatically cited.

When allowing these kinds of notes, users should be encouraged to split notes as small as possible. This allows us to avoid needing something like Garden-RSS by just showing that a note has updated, and showing the new content.

Communal Networks ​

By integrating with commune on the server side, the network could be maintained by the entire community, allowing any (trusted) members to mark topic changes. This has the benefit of making maintenance easier on any individual, but also it means users wanting to catch up on the conversations can now do so via the graph, ignoring any conversations that don't mention any topics that user doesn't particularly care about.

Federation ​

Allow clients to "follow" those communal networks, replicating them locally and merging them together (aliasing similar topics as necessary). This allows users to get very large networks much more easily, and further incentivizes contributing to the communal networks.

LLMs ​

A local LLM could assist in marking topic changes automatically, allowing you to get the benefits of the conversation being broken up for catching up even while on a non-commune chat.

LLMs could also be given the topics as context and be able to query the network for knowledge.

Tech Stack ​

The client will be a matrix client that stores all the messages locally. It'll use Fedi v2 to store the messages and other data, making the whole app Local-First Software. The rest of the app will be a web-based UI, using Neutralino.js or an alternative.

Actually, tauri apparently doesn't require rust per-say, and has things like mobile support and a better dev experience.

The server will be something that ensures commune servers can share topic changes across the community.

Consider using Animata components

Referenced by:AnarchismConsensus DemocracyMy Political Beliefs

I'm a supporter of the police abolition movement, which calls for police and prisons to be abolished. It argues that there are many inherent problems with policing and incarcerating people that cannot be fixed with just further training or restrictions - the entire system must be entirely abolished. In this way, it is a more extreme version of the police reform or defund the police movements. The movement also posits that there are alternatives to policing and incarceration that can be more effective at reducing crime.

What is police abolition? ​

Just to make sure we're all on the same page as to what police abolition means and involves, I'll be using some definitions from Critical Reach:

The prison industrial complex (PIC) is a term we use to describe the overlapping interests of government and industry that use surveillance, policing, and imprisonment as solutions to economic, social and political problems.

PIC abolition is a political vision with the goal of eliminating imprisonment, policing, and surveillance and creating lasting alternatives to punishment and imprisonment.

I'll generally just say police or prison abolition, but I'm still referring to pieces of PIC abolition.

Why abolish police? ​

There are a variety of reasons for abolishing the police, from its controversial origins to its pervasive discrimination to its overall lack of effectiveness. Ultimately though, I would argue this movement stems from anarchistic principles and values. Anarchism posits that no person should hold power over another (a simplification sufficient for this document), which would include the use of force or imprisonment. Anarchists argue the State has no right to exist, let alone that it has no right to call it's violence legitimate. From this premise, any form of policing or incarceration is unjust. However, let's explore additional problems within the specific context of the US:

Origins of policing ​

The initial implementation of the police in the US was inspired both by the systems they experienced across the pond as well as the bands of slave catchers that were present at the time. The fact policing and incarceration as concepts had to be invented and introduced to people who were already existing just fine is telling enough, and the fact they were introduced to bring slaves back to their owners is even more telling. These origins have ingrained racism into the entire system, and they are still evident today when looking at racial profiling, incarceration rates, etc.

Throughout their history police have, in practice, protected "property" (which slaves were considered to be at the time), not people. In a broader sense, they were a tool of the capitalist elite. That's why the Supreme Court ruled that police do not actually have an obligation to protect nor serve citizens and why early cops were also strike breakers.

While the origins of an institution don't necessarily dictate how it is structured and operated hundreds of years later, they do give insight into how the institution was designed and what purposes/roles it was actually filling. Today, thanks to various forms of "copaganda" in media, there's rhetoric that people should support and appreciate the police, that they are fair and effective and protect us from crime and villainy. As we'll continue to describe, I think the police are much more similar to their roots than the fiction they're portrayed as.

Discriminating against the poor ​

The police are designed to reinforce the capitalist status quo; the "law and order" they uphold is less so to do with ensuring life is fair and safe for all, but rather to keep the working class in check so the capitalist class are safe and secure. This is most evident by looking at how many laws primarily affect the poor and how rarely laws are enforced when the perpetrator is a capitalist.

"The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal their bread."
Anatole France

Property crime lead to over 750,000 arrests in 2019. Wage theft, which according to a 2014 study may account for up to $50 Billion stolen, is a civil matter that doesn't lead to any arrests. In fact, white collar misdeeds are often not classified as criminal offenses - that's why after the 2008 housing market crash that devastated millions, only 1 banker was arrested and it was for something relatively trivial compared to the actual crash.

Even when it is a criminal offense, white collar crime is rarely punished. A lot of societal elites get away with horrendous misdeeds essentially out in the open. In fact, prosecuting the rich is so out of the norm that a rookie cop arresting Justin Timberlake caused a kerfuffle online because of just how much people like Justin aren't supposed to get arrested.

As a side note, there's a double standard here where rich are treated differently from poor people when they're the perpetrator of the crime, but not when they're the victim. If you look online for opinions on whether stealing from the rich to give to the poor is actually justified, you'll get a fairly overwhelming response that "theft is theft" and the context within which the theft occurred is not relevant. I think it's important to keep in mind the context of how the rich have rigged the system to consolidate wealth in the hands of as few as possible, and the impact that has had on society. On other issues, people are just fine dealing with nuance, like how violence is justified when it's self defense. I believe our society has been deliberately shaped to have the value that the victim being poor vs rich shouldn't matter, specifically because it benefits the rich.

Racism ​

The PIC has not shaken off the racism ingrained within its roots. Arrests are not proportional to actual crime rates, disproportionately affecting people of color - including when the cops themselves are black. Additionally, laws have been introduced throughout the history of the US that were explicitly designed to affect minorities, like the Jim Crow laws or the entirety of Nixon's war on drugs (a victimless "crime").

The police are an active threat to black people, who are 3x as likely to be shot and killed from the police without presenting a threat. That makes cops people to be avoided and who cannot be relied upon in an emergency. Even calling the police yourself is a risk.

Cost ​

The government spends hundreds of billions of dollars on the incarceral system, an absolutely profound amount of money that could make enormous differences had it been put to social services instead.

The prison system has for profit private prisons with minimum occupancy clauses that cost taxpayers money if we don't arrest enough people. This is a gross financial incentive to arrest more people, and it disincentivizes actual rehabilitation. These contribute to the US' incredibly high recidivism rates.

Ineffectiveness at stopping crime ​

Most crimes performed are out of necessity, not malice. For example, few would be stealing baby formula or bread if it weren't for our economic system introducing artificial scarcity to keep prices going up.

America has the highest incarceration rate in the world, for a variety of the reasons mentioned in this document. Yet, the fear of punishment and imprisonment does not seem to have the effect of discouraging crime. Indeed, increasing incarceration does not decrease crime.

Criminal officers ​

Officers themselves perpetrate a lot of crime (and I suspect there's a lot of police crimes that doesn't get reported), including 1/3 of all murders that involve a stranger, and are typically protected by a corrupt system with the strongest union in the nation (often attributed to the union serving the interests of capital, rather than workers like labor unions). In particular, officers have incredibly high rates of interspousal conflicts. Therefore, abolitionism is the only solution to gender-based violence.

How to abolish police ​

There are many ways to reduce the need of police until it's eventually zero. Immediately, perpetratore of victimless crimes should be let out of prison. You can also reduce most root causes of crime, rather than spending the money on incarcerating the perpetrators

Crime reduction ​

Abolitionists still want to ensure public safety, just not through policing and incarceration. They believe, since most crime is not born of malice, that improving society by ensuring everyone's needs are met would evaporate the majority of crimes as well - at least as many as are prevented by the current system. Police are incredibly over funded, enough to buy things like surplus tanks from the US military. That money can instead go to social programs that would solve the root causes that lead to crimes.

Societies can and will find alternative ways of preventing any specific crime. An often used example is if you have a drunk friend who is about to drive home, you typically will help get them a ride (driving yourself if you're sober, or calling them a cab or uber otherwise) rather than calling the police on them. Abolitionism finds policing as only required by those who lack the political imagination to find other solutions - basically, cure the diseases rather than treat the symptoms. At a systemic level, drunk driving can be reduced or eliminated by improving public transit.

Dangerous incidents ​

With the police abolished, there are likely to still be cases where an individual is a danger to themselves or others. For these situations, there are ideas on how to resolve it without state sanctioned violence, that typically focus on local communities setting up alternative resources. Mobile crisis teams are one such alternative, although not without similar concerns regarding their authority to forcibly incarcerate people in mental health hospitals. There are a lot of alternatives out there, but they're typically specific to local communities and don't really have a "one size fits all" solution. Here's an article about a couple such initiatives, and this article linked earlier also discusses some specific local initiatives.

Another criticism of prison abolitionism specifically is What do you do with the murderers and rapists?, but as that article describes: we already don't incarcerate many murderers and rapists, especially the significant amount of murderers and rapists who are also officers. It argues the incarceral system already fails in this regard, and focuses on punishing the perpetrator rather than helping the victims, which is something we could do without incarceration.

Consequences ​

While punishments are not good deterrents, some consequences for crimes are still justified and can be enforced without requiring incarceration. A victim may be "made whole" (have the damage reversed to the best of our ability) at expense of the perpetrator, or the society itself (using resources its no longer spending on police or prison). If there's a material cause for the crime having taken place, e.g. a hungry person stealing food, those material conditions can be improved. For cases where the perpetrator is chronically exhibiting anti-social behavior, a trip to a rehabilitation facility, which would be operated significantly differently from the PIC, could be warranted. Stuff like anger management courses or resources to help kick addictions would naturally still be present in a society without prisons.

I'm a supporter of the police abolition movement, which calls for police and prisons to be abolished. It argues that there are many inherent problems with policing and incarcerating people that cannot be fixed with just further training or restrictions - the entire system must be entirely abolished. In this way, it is a more extreme version of the police reform or defund the police movements. The movement also posits that there are alternatives to policing and incarceration that can be more effective at reducing crime.

What is police abolition? ​

Just to make sure we're all on the same page as to what police abolition means and involves, I'll be using some definitions from Critical Reach:

The prison industrial complex (PIC) is a term we use to describe the overlapping interests of government and industry that use surveillance, policing, and imprisonment as solutions to economic, social and political problems.

PIC abolition is a political vision with the goal of eliminating imprisonment, policing, and surveillance and creating lasting alternatives to punishment and imprisonment.

I'll generally just say police or prison abolition, but I'm still referring to pieces of PIC abolition.

Why abolish police? ​

There are a variety of reasons for abolishing the police, from its controversial origins to its pervasive discrimination to its overall lack of effectiveness. Ultimately though, I would argue this movement stems from anarchistic principles and values. Anarchism posits that no person should hold power over another (a simplification sufficient for this document), which would include the use of force or imprisonment. Anarchists argue the State has no right to exist, let alone that it has no right to call it's violence legitimate. From this premise, any form of policing or incarceration is unjust. However, let's explore additional problems within the specific context of the US:

Origins of policing ​

The initial implementation of the police in the US was inspired both by the systems they experienced across the pond as well as the bands of slave catchers that were present at the time. The fact policing and incarceration as concepts had to be invented and introduced to people who were already existing just fine is telling enough, and the fact they were introduced to bring slaves back to their owners is even more telling. These origins have ingrained racism into the entire system, and they are still evident today when looking at racial profiling, incarceration rates, etc.

Throughout their history police have, in practice, protected "property" (which slaves were considered to be at the time), not people. In a broader sense, they were a tool of the capitalist elite. That's why the Supreme Court ruled that police do not actually have an obligation to protect nor serve citizens and why early cops were also strike breakers.

While the origins of an institution don't necessarily dictate how it is structured and operated hundreds of years later, they do give insight into how the institution was designed and what purposes/roles it was actually filling. Today, thanks to various forms of "copaganda" in media, there's rhetoric that people should support and appreciate the police, that they are fair and effective and protect us from crime and villainy. As we'll continue to describe, I think the police are much more similar to their roots than the fiction they're portrayed as.

Discriminating against the poor ​

The police are designed to reinforce the capitalist status quo; the "law and order" they uphold is less so to do with ensuring life is fair and safe for all, but rather to keep the working class in check so the capitalist class are safe and secure. This is most evident by looking at how many laws primarily affect the poor and how rarely laws are enforced when the perpetrator is a capitalist.

"The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal their bread."
Anatole France

Property crime lead to over 750,000 arrests in 2019. Wage theft, which according to a 2014 study may account for up to $50 Billion stolen, is a civil matter that doesn't lead to any arrests. In fact, white collar misdeeds are often not classified as criminal offenses - that's why after the 2008 housing market crash that devastated millions, only 1 banker was arrested and it was for something relatively trivial compared to the actual crash.

Even when it is a criminal offense, white collar crime is rarely punished. A lot of societal elites get away with horrendous misdeeds essentially out in the open. In fact, prosecuting the rich is so out of the norm that a rookie cop arresting Justin Timberlake caused a kerfuffle online because of just how much people like Justin aren't supposed to get arrested.

As a side note, there's a double standard here where rich are treated differently from poor people when they're the perpetrator of the crime, but not when they're the victim. If you look online for opinions on whether stealing from the rich to give to the poor is actually justified, you'll get a fairly overwhelming response that "theft is theft" and the context within which the theft occurred is not relevant. I think it's important to keep in mind the context of how the rich have rigged the system to consolidate wealth in the hands of as few as possible, and the impact that has had on society. On other issues, people are just fine dealing with nuance, like how violence is justified when it's self defense. I believe our society has been deliberately shaped to have the value that the victim being poor vs rich shouldn't matter, specifically because it benefits the rich.

Racism ​

The PIC has not shaken off the racism ingrained within its roots. Arrests are not proportional to actual crime rates, disproportionately affecting people of color - including when the cops themselves are black. Additionally, laws have been introduced throughout the history of the US that were explicitly designed to affect minorities, like the Jim Crow laws or the entirety of Nixon's war on drugs (a victimless "crime").

The police are an active threat to black people, who are 3x as likely to be shot and killed from the police without presenting a threat. That makes cops people to be avoided and who cannot be relied upon in an emergency. Even calling the police yourself is a risk.

Cost ​

The government spends hundreds of billions of dollars on the incarceral system, an absolutely profound amount of money that could make enormous differences had it been put to social services instead.

The prison system has for profit private prisons with minimum occupancy clauses that cost taxpayers money if we don't arrest enough people. This is a gross financial incentive to arrest more people, and it disincentivizes actual rehabilitation. These contribute to the US' incredibly high recidivism rates.

Ineffectiveness at stopping crime ​

Most crimes performed are out of necessity, not malice. For example, few would be stealing baby formula or bread if it weren't for our economic system introducing artificial scarcity to keep prices going up.

America has the highest incarceration rate in the world, for a variety of the reasons mentioned in this document. Yet, the fear of punishment and imprisonment does not seem to have the effect of discouraging crime. Indeed, increasing incarceration does not decrease crime.

Criminal officers ​

Officers themselves perpetrate a lot of crime (and I suspect there's a lot of police crimes that doesn't get reported), including 1/3 of all murders that involve a stranger, and are typically protected by a corrupt system with the strongest union in the nation (often attributed to the union serving the interests of capital, rather than workers like labor unions). In particular, officers have incredibly high rates of interspousal conflicts. Therefore, abolitionism is the only solution to gender-based violence.

How to abolish police ​

There are many ways to reduce the need of police until it's eventually zero. Immediately, perpetratore of victimless crimes should be let out of prison. You can also reduce most root causes of crime, rather than spending the money on incarcerating the perpetrators

Crime reduction ​

Abolitionists still want to ensure public safety, just not through policing and incarceration. They believe, since most crime is not born of malice, that improving society by ensuring everyone's needs are met would evaporate the majority of crimes as well - at least as many as are prevented by the current system. Police are incredibly over funded, enough to buy things like surplus tanks from the US military. That money can instead go to social programs that would solve the root causes that lead to crimes.

Political Quizzes

841 words, ~5 minute read. Planted -.

Political quizzes are a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine. I really enjoy getting my beliefs distilled into a handful of labels, and getting forced to think about issues I may not have thought about that thoroughly. I often take issue with the wording of various questions though, and certainly have opinions on some quizzes being better than others.

Ultimately, the reason I consider these quizzes a guilty pleasure is because the results shouldn't really be used for anything. I believe we should vote on the issues directly, and any form of Representative Democracy is an unnecessary abstraction. The labels may be useful as a mnemonic, but not as useful as the individual answers and the justifications behind those answers. Plus, people are going to interpret the questions differently, especially when it comes to understanding terms like liberalism, freedom, or merit.

With all that said, here I'll discuss some tests I've taken, the results I've gotten l, and my overall thoughts on it. I'll include the dates taken so they can map to My Political Journey.

Prism Political Quiz ​

Made by the six triangles creator, I really like this test! It actually might be my favorite. It novelly gives you multiple positions to take on a given issue, rather than a statement you can agree or disagree with. I overall really liked the choices, and nearly always felt one represented my views.

I like the results I got on 2024-09-06. I was surprised at my government value being just "direct democracy", when the way I define my views on Government in My Political Beliefs (at the time of taking the test), which I believe I reflected accurately in my responses here, would probably include at least some points on anarchism and confederationism. That said, I liked these results so much that they inspired me to write that page on my political beliefs, which takes clear inspiration from this test.

Six Triangles ​

I was intrigued by Six Triangles' idea of replacing axes with triangles, although some of the additional points seem a bit redundant, or just acted as a disguised additional axis. For example, the truth corner of personal freedom is not really related to the axis of freedom vs security. It could have easily been its own axis specific to misinformation. Similarly, I think the burden corner of equality is going to be highly correlated to their equality of opportunity score. Others, however, really benefit from the third point, like economy being split up into laissez faire capitalism, "well regulated" capitalism, and socialism.

Unfortunately, I found a lot of the questions to be poorly worded or vague. For example, I disagree with the statement "The government occasionally needs to do things which aren't popular for the good of its people" because popular isn't sufficient, but in a system that requires unanimity (or near unanimity), I'd argue everything that gets passed is for the good of the people, based off the values and considerations of those specific people. That nuance doesn't carry over if I just select "disagree" though. They also have the statement "Small government is usually better than big government" without any context for what big vs small mean in this context: number of employees? Amount of nationalized services? Number of constituents? Amount of regulations? This distinction matters for getting (more) accurate results.

The results from taking it on 2024-09-05 were quite satisfying to go through. I particularly enjoyed being called a "Fanatic anti-imperialist". The main score I disagreed with was the government triangle; I would've preferred a higher minarchy score.

Prescriptivism vs Descriptivism

256 words, ~1 minute read. Planted -.

Referenced by:Social Constructs

These two terms refer to how words are defined. Prescriptivism is where definitions are written by an authority of some sort and users of the language are supposed to respect that definition, or else they are incorrect. Prescriptivism defines a truth, a boundary on what is allowed. Descriptivism, on the other hand, argues definitions should be based on how the word is currently being used. Someone using it differently is not wrong, they're just part of the normal process through which definitions can change. Descriptivism, therefore, does not define an objective truth. A notable example of this dichotomy is the definition of "literally". It was defined as meaning something that is to be taken at face value, but dictionaries have found justification for it having a second, near opposite, definition.

I'm fairly against prescriptivism, but acknowledge the argument that words are more useful when their definitions don't change underneath you, especially in cases where the word can now ambiguously refer to the opposite of one of its other definitions. However, the cultural change in definitions happens regardless, so I think it's important to be able to analyze how words are being used and decide if and when it makes sense to update those definitions. I feel the same way about all Social Constructs , which language is just one of.

Dictionaries take a stance in between the two extremes - both becoming an authoritative (and therefore prescriptive) source of definitions, but updating them as deemed necessary to more closely match their real-world uses.

A form of democracy where people vote for representatives who then vote on the actual issues. The US has a representative democracy. By virtue of representatives not perfectly reflecting the views of their constituents, and by forming a hierarchy of power, this is a form of Democracy that is not Anarchistic.

Representative forms of government were once useful for their logistical simplifications, but now primarily serve as a way to limit the range of acceptable political opinions/options and to perpetuate the reign of those in power.

Scientific Constructivism

271 words, ~1 minute read. Planted -.

Scientific constructivism is the philosophical idea that science is a Social Construct , in this case one created socially by scientists.

In her video on Social Constructs, Philosophy Tube discusses taxonomy as an example social construct. We observe animals' natural properties and form categories along arbitrary lines, and just deal with weird edge cases like the platypus that don't neatly fit into our prescribed lines. Some criticized this argument, because modern taxonomy typically looks at lineage and nearest shared ancestors, which avoids those edge cases and is therefore seen as a more "objective" measure. But us choosing to taxonomize using that metric versus any other is still inherently arbitrary and thus a construct.

This lovely response to Richard Dawkins claiming science is not a social construct is a great read. It argues, amongst other points, that science is to natural properties as a map is to the physical landscape. That is, science and maps are social constructs because they are our attempts to define and understand the underlying properties. Science is a process, not objective truth. (This same argument could be applied to mathematics, where there is some underlying property we don't have a name for, but mathematics - the axioms, theorems, proofs, etc. - as a collective body is a social construct above that underlying property). Philosophy Tube describes how height, one such natural property, might be used at different layers of social constructs. We have a concept of "tallness", which is a social construct based on the underlying property "height". However there could be a society that goes an extra layer of abstraction up and has a concept of "bigs", which are the elites of this society, as determined by their exceptional tallness. We might think its silly of such a society to structure themselves in this way, and question their reasoning for having a concept of "bigs" in the first place. But so to could a society that's one layer below ours question us for having a concept of "tallness", arguing that its fine to measure height but that its silly to describe people as being tall or not. They might argue that they, by merely measuring a natural property of height, do not have a social construct. However a layer below even them might question them for choosing to measure height in the first place. Does that not inherently imbue meaning (and therefore a social definition) upon the measured number? And by that logic, any measured property, by us choosing to measure it in the first place, is some level of social construct.

Science will often be affected by our own biases and come to incorrect conclusions. A classic example of this is phrenology, a racist "science" that used its supposed " Objectivity" to argue for racial differences that didn't exist. You may argue that science has already built in affordances for previous research being determined incorrect, however. We have (flawed) peer reviews and regularly (ish) replicate experiments and further verify various historical theories. However even the process of peer reviews, the scientific method, and conducting science at all are social constructs. Academia similarly has arbitrary restrictions, like defining statistical significance at 5% difference, that arbitrarily determine what is science and what is not (and often leads to data dredging).

While looking online to see people who agree and disagree with science as a social construct, I found some interesting pages that didn't really fit in elsewhere. I found this paper, Questioning science: how knowledge is socially constructed , which has a cool sounding abstract but I haven't found the article itself, and considering how little its been cited it seems far from seminal. I also found this entertaining forum thread discussing social constructs and science, which became a good example of how many people believe something being a construct means its not "real", and that therefore anything real/observable must therefore not be a construct. Fortunately, there are some voices in there attempting to clarify the nature of social constructs, and the back and forth was just enjoyable to read.

Social constructs are concepts with social definitions. Having a "social definition" really just means its some concept or property some group of peoples (or even animals) has prescribed meaning to. You know of and use these all the time throughout your life, and have likely identified some common ones like gender or class. As we'll discuss, however, there are far, far many more social constructs than the ones commonly referred to as such. It should be noted that while these concepts are essentially "made up", in the sense that they are arbitrary distinctions created by imperfect beings, that does not make them "not real". They exist and are typically created for a reason, often convenience. However, those reasons can be analyzed and determined to be more harmful than useful. This article's goal is to discuss and encourage analyzing social constructs, to better identify them and determine their utility and impact on society. Furthermore that it's possible to change or even destroy these constructs, and it's our social duty to do so when appropriate.

With a definition for social constructs as a concept established, how would you go about defining a specific social construct? Well that's tricky, due to social constructs' nature. It's useful to define words using either Prescriptivism or Descriptivism, but social constructs are much too ephemeral and complex to truly be defined using either approach. How would you attempt to make a complete, non-simplified definition of gender, for example? Gender has an impact on all parts of society, with gender roles shaping our entire lives and society and it interacts with various other similarly complicated constructs like class or family. All of this makes these concepts so complex that many incredibly smart people will spend their entire lives just writing about a single construct. While useful, these papers are obviously not the way we are typically introduced to constructs, or how we gain an understanding of them within a complex network of constructs.

Kids effectively "learn" the definitions of social constructs via exposure to them. They don't need to be explicitly outlined, at least not wholly, but rather experienced and lived. Kids observe people performing their gender roles, recognize their family and duties within it, calculate their age by counting the number of birthdays they've had, etc. Humans are powerful at recognizing patterns and through that naturally build an understanding, piece by piece, for all these constructs and how they interact, even if they couldn't formally define any of them. They'll go on to follow the unstated rules of these constructs, reinforcing them and teaching them by demonstration to following generations.

These constructs form a complex web, where any specific construct is only useful in the context of the web it is both a part of and dependent on. For example, knowing what a "bakery" is depends on the concept of a store, which depends on the concept of a building, and which depends on the concept of a structure. And this is just one path we could've taken - we could've alternatively explored bread or employees or shopping, and so on.

Ultimately, constructs are supposed to be useful. They allow us to communicate, understand, and exist within our society. One without any constructs would be impossible to do anything in. But these constructs also gained a lot of meanings during times of oppressive forces taking over the world, and can seriously harm people, particularly with concepts like Gender. In the same way these constructs allow us to understand the world around us, they can also mold us to fit those definitions. That's my real motive behind this page - to help recognize these constructs, analyze their utility, and ultimately decide if they're a construct worth continued support.

Some social constructs may seem to have straightforward definitions, but there is nuance and caveats that are still exclusively defined through social means. Take soup, for example. Oxford describes it as "a liquid dish, typically made by boiling meat, fish, or vegetables, etc. in stock or water". Well first off, that "typically" is already a concession that there are some traits that seem common, but not necessary to the definition. Is a bowl of cereal and milk considered soup? How liquid does the base have to be - would spaghetti Os count? And perhaps even a "liquid dish" is a murky requirement itself; let's talk about a game called Something something soup something, which uses gameplay of deciding which of various weird maybe-soups actually counts as soup. Their goal is to reveal through gameplay that "that even an ordinary concept like 'soup' is vague, shifting, impossible to define exhaustively". They released an analysis of results from what people typically considered requirements for "soupyness", and found nearly a third of participants (from focus groups and tracked players) accepted solids like rocks or ice cubes as viable bases for a soup. The oxford definition didn't mention container or utensil used for consuming soup, but the game found 25% of their focus group and 10% of their players considered the container being bowl-like or the utensil spoon-like as important. The point is that these definitions are subjective and learned socially, and thus have blurred edges that can change over time - you won't be able to find a complete definition in any dictionary. And don't even get me started on what a sandwich is!

Similar to how social constructs can have a nice simple definition that doesn't really encapsulate the social definition, the definition of social constructs as "concepts with social definitions" doesn't really explain just how ubiquitous these concepts are . Nearly everything is a social construct; everything from "age" to "bakeries" to "north" to "sandwiches" are social constructs; These concepts that society has built an understanding of over long periods of time, and have been shaped by our shared cultures and values. Even naming those constructs was a social agreement that those concepts are worth pointing out - Why make distinctions between different types of stores? Why distinguish some buildings as stores in the first place? Or call some structures buildings and others, like a fence, not? All of these are social constructs we use to help understand the world, that we learned through our experiences within our given society and culture. They're also all arbitrary and oftentimes you'll see these lines and distinctions differ between peoples. Take color, for example: We have many different colors - red, blue, green, yellow, purple, and so on. But why do we have those specific colors? Why does light red get its own name but not light green? Why is blue a boy color and pink a girl color? Is the dress black and blue or white and gold? Where is the line between dark blue and black? Why does the rainbow only sometimes include an indigo and violet? Well, all these decisions just kinda resolve as society continues to change. Those categories of colors just happened to be the ones our culture uses. But other cultures separate them out in different ways, like caring more about brightness than hue. Some cultures don't even have a concept of color, or might group colors differently than us - like grouping some colors as "like ripe fruit", which may seem just as out of place to us as us grouping green and tan in a category called "camo" would seem out of place to them.

Social media is how we interact with people online. It's also increasingly becoming how we discover and discuss news and ideas. It's incredibly important, but flawed. A lot of pages in this digital garden criticize and attempt to solve these flaws.

Traditional social media is centralized, meaning you have to trust the central authority to be acting in your best interests. It also means you likely won't have control over the moderation rules, sorting methods, filters, or other aspects of the platform. Traditional social media is also overrun by entities trying to accumulate wealth in the "attention economy", meaning feeds are littered with influencers, advertisers, and scams. It's not a safe place to be and its not conducive to health conversations.

Federated Social Media is partially Decentralized, and includes services like Mastodon or Lemmy. These require self hosting, leading to it being a federation of smaller centralized authorities. Most people still won't have control over the platform, but may find a platform that's more tolerable to them. However, the process of doing so greatly increases the barrier of entry into the network, and stifles their adoption.

I personally advocate for a full decentralized social media, as described in Fedi v2. It should give full agency to the individual, and perhaps even introduce the concept of Digital Locality.

Technocracies are a form of government where technical experts make the decisions. It sounds appealing and like a solution to the "problem" of "How can Democracy be good if most people are stupid?". Well I don't think that's really a problem in the first place, as it implies some sort of objective knowledge and truth, when really the best decision is the one those affected by the decision most agree with. However, even under the premise that tyranny of the majority is a problem worth addressing, technocracies don't hold up under critical analysis.

Who decides the criteria for technical expertise? Whatever the answer is will be introducing bias into the government, because true meritocracies are a Neoliberal myth. Indeed, this government would likely just perpetuate people's existing material conditions, as those with power will have access to more resources, which means they'll be more likely to be able to meet the qualifications of technical expertise and thus remain in power. Conversely, those in poorer material conditions will be less likely to become technical experts, and thus have less agency to improve their material conditions.

In TikTok Vs Democracy, Abigail Thorne discusses how surveillance capitalism can lead to a technocracy-flavored version of authoritarianism, and argues that even if democracy is "not a system for choosing the best leader or guaranteeing the best outcome" that it is "a system that has maximal respect for everyone's equal humanity".

A similar implementation that's considered slightly more palatable is a democracy where those with more education get more votes. But this still has the same issues of who writes the criteria and perpetuating material conditions. That is, it makes the idea sound more palatable without meaningfully addressing any of the criticisms of technocracies.

The Cozy Web is an extension of the dark forest theory of the Internet

It refers to the part of the web that is not web indexable

This part of the web is known for not typically having ads or marketers

The small web (also known as the indie web, personal web, the web revival movement, and other terms) refers to small, personal, independent websites. It is seen as a direct alternative to the centralized and homogenized websites like X, Meta, and TikTok. My Personal Website is part of the small web!

Motivation behind the small web ​

The modern web is bad ​

The small web is, at its roots, a direct response to the issues with the modern web:

The modern web is dominated by a handful of large websites, sometimes referred to as the "corporate web". These websites limit personalization, how you can use the website, and are filled with ads, marketers, and influencers.

The corporate web is designed for consuming content created by a few large/popular creators. This manifests in the near-ubiquitous infinitely scrolling feed of algorithmically chosen posts, optimized to keep you on the site for as long as possible, to the detriment of society.

Websites this large are expensive and, due to Capitalism, must forever be making more money than before - which means if they're not growing users, they must grow how much money they're making per user. This process typically means corporate websites become worse for their users over time, and was coined as Enshittification by Cory Doctorow.

The old web was good ​

In contrast to the above, the classic web was filled with many diverse sites that typically represented a single person or organization, who were able to fully tailor their site to what they wanted it to be. Websites would be more unique and interesting, since the creator would have full control over them. This also makes the whole web feel more personal and intimate, as you're looking at a closer representation of how someone chooses to portray themselves online, in a way a profile page on X or Meta cannot be.

There are still lessons we've learned over time that can apply to modern "small web" pages, like accessible design and how to be more inclusive.

The small web is anti-corporate ​

Small static websites are very cheap to host, making anti-features like ads unnecessary and therefore rare. In general small websites are cheap enough to avoid needing to think about monetization entirely, let alone worrying about how to perpetually make more money. This lack of profit motive behind most small websites contributes to a culture of not just being "not corporate", but "anti-corporate".

In general, the corporate web seems to have values that align with those of authoritarianism - control, surveillance, and hierarchy, whereas the small web aligns with anarchist values - autonomy, cooperation, and egalitarianism.

These are videos and articles that continue expanding on the values and motivations behind the small web as an alternative to the corporate web:

Browsing the small web ​

Follow Webrings or other links from known small websites.

Marginalia is a search engine for non-commercial content with a "random" button and filters for the small web explicitly (amongst other useful filters!)

The Tildeverse contains a large set of personal websites.

  • Pick one of the member sites, and they'll have a list of all their users, who each have a custom page. Some may also list most recently updated pages, which is a good way of filtering out default pages.
  • You may also consider joining one of these communities. They're effectively shared Linux computers, with a focus on small tight knit communities as an alternative to social media. Great if you're interested in learning Linux and command line utilities!

Building personal websites ​

IndieWeb contains various information and resources on building personal websites that use open standards to better interact with readers and other sites consistently. Check out IndieWebify Me to get assistance implementing their standards.

Other resources:

Streams ​

Microsub is a proposed protocol to support hosting streams of content on personal websites in a way they can be consistently ingested by microsub clients. This way, people could subscribe to multiple streams on independent websites and get them in one feed. Through this, the indie web becomes a Federated Social Media.

Streams also allow your personal website to be the one source of truth for your posted content, in a concept called POSSE - Publish (on your) Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere (other social media sites). This would effectively solve the problems described in Hey Creators, Please Make Firehoses!

Multiple streams can be hosted by one site/person so people can subscribe to the kind of content they're interested in.

Trans athletes in sports

288 words, ~2 minute read. Planted -.

Sports are meant to be competitions with winners and losers, which means intrinsically that one has to be better than the other. But we've determined certain advantages as "fair" ones and others as not, without fully acknowledging how fairness is just a Social Construct.

When Michael Phelps won gold medal after gold medal, no one complained that his naturally webbed feet were an "unfair" advantage, or put him in a separate league like we do for Gender. But when Caster Semenya, a cis woman with naturally higher levels of testosterone than other women, wanted to compete in track and field internationally she was told she'd need to take testosterone reducing medicine (until she years later won the case in Europe's human rights court, with caveats). If you have ADHD you're allowed to take performance enhancing drugs, but otherwise not. Coffee and protein could clearly be classified as performance enhancing drugs but for the fact we've socially defined PED as narrowly avoiding those substances. These are arbitrary rules that only seem fair to some people, because there is no objective fairness. So when trans athletes are attacked both when they compete with those of their assigned gender at birth as well as when they compete with those of their preferred gender, it's clear the motivation behind it all is not really about fairness in sports, but about making trans people go away. And yet, trans athletes tend to be an issue where even many socially leftist voices will discuss how "complicated" this issue is and even spread the idea that anti-trans policies are required in order to preserve fairness, such as The Young Turks as described in Why I Left TYT.

Being trans should not mean you are banned from competing or relegated to a division for just trans people. The argument is usually that trans individuals are either currently receiving or used to receive larger amounts of testosterone than those they'd be competing with. But the competition isn't about who has the more testosterone. Well, the argument continues, testosterone levels may be indicative of increased muscle growth. But muscle growth also isn't what the competition is about. It can be argued to indicate performance at the actual sport/activity the competition is over, but at this point isn't it too many layers of imperfect abstractions and assumptions? The person who wins is less tied to their actual ability and who happens to come out on top on each of these specific estimations.

There are many advantages one might have in sports, but contrary to a true meritocracy, our arbitrary distinctions on allowed vs disallowed advantages exposes the biases of our society, which are often racist, sexist, and transphobic. Therefore, appeals to "fairness" are explicit endorsements of those biases, namely bigotry.

I also support idubbbz discussing his support for trans athletes in 100 percent women, coming from the context of a boxer who has ran boxing competitions.

V-ecs (pronounced "Vex") is a Vulkan-based engine I made for making highly moddable games and tools in Lua centered around the ECS design pattern and a work-stealing job system.

The engine works with "worlds", which are collections of systems and renderers. The engine comes with several worlds using systems and renderers I made, including a voxel world, an incremental game, and some test scenes. All of these include systems to render the fps as well as show a debug console by typing the grave key (`). The default world is a title screen that detects any worlds in the "worlds" folder and displays a button for each of them.

The original plans were to eventually put it on the steam workshop so people could more easily share their creations amongst each other, but I never became happy enough with the performance of the engine - the parallelization of the lua code involved a lot of overhead that severely limited performance.

Instead, I made a couple of worlds by myself - an infinite procedurally generated voxel world, a simple incremental game, and a more complex incremental game I call "Sands of Time".

The gameplay of Sands of Time was replicated in Kronos Chapter 2!

Video Essays

542 words, ~3 minute read. Planted +.

Video essayists are an interesting case study here. I love video essays, they're often entertaining and you can tell the effort and care put into them. A lot of my favorite creators are video essayists, like hbomberguy, Folding Ideas, and Philosophy Tube (and probably more - its hard to keep track of my favorites since they upload infrequently). Unfortunately, video essays have now been recognized as successful ways to make videos with high watch time which has led to an explosion of video essays, with varying levels of skill, ethics, and effort put into researching the topics.

The format of video essays makes them feel credible - being longform, speaking authoritatively, and including relevant footage all contribute to this. However, none of those actually necessitate the creator being a subject matter expert.

"Video essayists" as a concept is a bit concerning because it positions those creators on a treadmill of constantly having to be (or at least appear to be) an expert of a brand new topic. I'm skeptical of any video essayist that uploads frequently or across a very large variety of topics.

Sometimes the extra duration of the footage is less to do with it deeply diving into the subject matter, but padding and fluff that's tangential to the point of the video. This is stuff like describing the process of how the creator did online research, or the methods they used to reach out to relevant people. In addition to padding the runtime, this shifts the focus off the subject of the video and onto the creator. I found this video to exemplify both this issue and many of my qualms with video essays.

Media Analysis Video Essays ​

Some video essays are very easy to make quickly and are doing so for profit. No video essay exemplifies this more than the media analysis video essay. While this doesn't apply to all video essays over media, all too often they'll just be summarizations of popular and nostalgic media that never gets into any meaningful analysis or offering genuine insights. It's just an easy way to make a lot of content, and thus watch time.

Personally, I think these specific video essays are slop taking advantage of people who like having their intellectual ego stroked. By watching media get lightly criticized, we position ourselves above the people actually out there creating original media. These videos are for the pretentious, who likely watch far more analysis of original media than original media itself. It's reaction content for those who feel they're above reaction content. This video essay (heh) goes further into the issues with this type of video essay.

Self Reflection ​

Part of my feelings towards video essays, and indeed such strong feelings as to include it here where its tangential at best, stems from self-confidence issues. Wondering if these articles I write are any better. I criticize video essays for being critical like an ouroboros, relying on this very statement to at least prove I'm aware of the hypocrisy.

Further Reading ​

Hey, did you know there's video essays about how video essays are bad? Well of course they are, a natural extension of the "thing bad" trend exemplified in the media analysis video essays and in Youtube culture at large. Anyways, I enjoyed this video covering other criticisms of video essays on Youtube.

AAA games ​

They Clcost a lot of money to make, mostly due to the graphics arms race. The price required to make these games profitable would be much higher than the current price of AAA games.

Graphics would not justify significantly higher prices, and AAA studios know this. So instead they use the techniques to make more money without raising the base price:

Free-to-play games ​

Typically utilize MTX and ads in order to profit. Often extreme cases of designing games to compell players to spend money.

Indie developers ​

Trying to make a sustainable living as an indie developer is hard. The industry is packed with lots of competition, and drive prices people are willing to pay very low. Therefore, I don't blame indies for their monetization strategies, even if I consider them unethical or tainting the game design.

Ethical game monetization ​

Requirements:

  • Free demo
  • Paid base game
  • No MTX
  • Paid content expansions

The goal of the above is to allow players to determine if they enjoy the game without putting money down, and to ensure the game design cannot be tainted by the monetization.

I think having the gameplay affected by transactions of any kind taints the game design. This is a particularly controversial take in the context of communal benefits (e.g. one person donates and all players get a 2x buff for an hour, or a persistent buff based on number of patrons), which are generally seen as ethical.

Developing games is fun and exciting and teaches a lot of wonderful skills - I enthusiastically encourage anyone with an interest in game development to try it out - and incremental games are a wonderful way to get started. However, there are many challenges young and inexperienced developers have to face, and I think the hardest one - harder than coding, debugging, balancing, etc. - is handling criticism. When you put your heart and soul into a game it is natural to feel very vulnerable. While I think there's a lot communities can do to ensure they're welcoming, positive and constructive with their criticisms, inevitably you will eventually read some, and potentially a lot, of comments that can deeply affect you. No one is immune to this, from young incremental game developers to the largest content creators you can think of. That's why it's important to be able to process and navigate criticism, because ultimately collecting feedback is essential to the journey to becoming a better developer. On this page, we'll explore how to embrace criticism, grow from it, and continue to post your games publicly with confidence.

Reading Feedback ​

Game development is a skill that takes time and practice to get truly great at. Criticism and other constructive feedback are vital to continually improving. It's useful to look at the criticism as solely a tool for improving this game and future games - that is to say, it should never be used against you as a person. Insults towards the developer(s) themselves are never okay and should not be allowed within whatever community you're sharing your works in. If you do come across a comment you interpret as an attack upon your person, you should report it. For other negative comments, try not to internalize them; instead, focus on improving the game. By distancing your own identity from your work emotionally, you can better analyze the game and use the feedback to your advantage.

Not all feedback is made equal, and you don't need to feel compelled to read and obey every piece of feedback you receive. Learn to distinguish between constructive feedback and unhelpful comments. Constructive feedback typically offers specific suggestions for improvement, while unhelpful comments are often vague or hurtful. Prioritize the former and disregard the latter. That said, most feedback you get will not be from game developers, so take specific suggestions with a grain of salt. Determine the actual problem they're experiencing, and design what you believe the best solution to that problem would be, regardless if that's the specific solution the player asked for. And keep in mind, due to different player preferences you'll never satisfy everyone, and you don't need to. Ultimately if even just you find the game fun, then that's a success.

Seeking Feedback ​

When deciding where to share your game, consider the type of players you anticipate getting, and the kind of feedback you can anticipate receiving. Different communities will have different levels of support for learning developers, and certain communities may prefer certain types of games or mechanics. It's important to get a diverse set of feedback focused on players you think will enjoy the specific game you're making.

Collecting feedback from other game developers is incredibly helpful. They've trained themselves to recognize good and bad game design and how to articulate the differences, and from my experience are much more likely to leave positive and constructive comments since they've been in your shoes before! They understand the struggles and can offer guidance and emotional support.

Responding to Feedback ​

Negative feedback can naturally feel like an attack, and it's okay to get angry. However, lashing back is never the appropriate response. It's best to cool off IRL, and keep in mind all the positive comments you've received. There's a concept in Psychology called negative bias that explains how negative feedback tends to stick with us much more prominently than positive feedback, so it's useful to regularly remind yourself of all the positive feedback you've received. Celebrate your successes, no matter how small they may seem - getting a game to a state you can publicly share it with people is an accomplishment in and of itself!

Remember your passion and your initial reasons for getting into game development. The journey will have its ups and downs, but staying true to your vision and passion will keep you motivated.

This is a comprehensive guide to Incremental Games, a genre of video games. It will explore defining the genre, why it's appealing, and how to design and build your own incremental game. Along the way will be interactive examples, snippets from other creators, and relevant material to contextualize everything.

Note: This is an incomplete document. I want to keep adding opinions and opposing views from other incremental games developers, and add interactive examples to illustrate various points regarding game design and balancing. Consider this a living document - and see the changelog at the end.

There are a lot of developers in the incremental games community - the genre seems to draw them in, and convert a lot of players into developers. Let's explore the reasons why this genre appeals to developers.

Incrementals are Easy to Make ​

Compared to other genres, incrementals have quite low expectations. You don't need to make fancy art, or music, or lay things out nicely. If you can make a button and learn the few lines of code necessary to make a number go up, you can make an incremental. This low threshold makes the genre perfect for those who are actively learning to code and haven't developed any gamedev-related skills yet.

Additionally, unlike other genres incrementals are uniquely easy to implement in a normal web page - no need to worry about rendering sprites, moving them around, implementing physics, etc. New developers can just use HTML to add a button, and the game is now available in your browser. You don't need to choose an engine, have admin privileges, or hell for the dedicated you don't even need a computer - there are tools for web development that run in the browser itself, so you can technically use your phone if that's all you have.

Javascript is a perfectly viable language for making web games, whereas other genres are typically going to require using other more difficult languages to learn. There are countless javascript tutorials that start from 0 knowledge of programming, making it incredibly accessible to beginners.

Players are Easy to Find ​

Once you've finished your game and uploaded it on github pages or itch or just copied the link if you're using glitch or replit (all of which are easy to do), anyone can now play the game in their browser. This low barrier to entry has shown tremendous success in getting completely unknown developers to have thousands of plays.

The incremental games community, which mostly centers around r/incremental_games, is always looking for new games and tends to flood any new ones posted with initial players.

Having your games be played can be incredibly motivating, and the community makes it quite clear that you can expect players to play your game. These communities - both for incremental games in general as well as game-specific communities - tend to be very developer friendly as well. A lot of the developers know each other, and welcome new developers with open arms, often with dedicated channels for programming help and discussions.

Monetization ​

I'd like to clarify that everything I've said above mainly applies to web-based incrementals. Incremental games are also incredibly popular on mobile, but with a much different culture and community. Many mobile gamers will still participate in the web-focused community for the culture. This web-focused community has a culture that has been criticized for being "anti-monetization". Ads, IAPs, and similar forms of monetization are often criticized, mainly due to the abundance of completely non-monetized games available from hobbyist developers. There are exceptions, like paid games often being considered fine, like Increlution or Stuck in Time, or donation ware games like kittens game, but even popular games that have IAP see some level of regular criticism, like NGU Idle, Idle Skilling, or Idle Pins. A large part of this can be explained by the community being hyper-aware of the addictive) nature of this genre and its susceptibility to exploiting players.

On mobile, however, monetization is the norm and expected. If an incremental game is available on mobile, it almost certainly will be monetized, and mobile players are aware and accepting of that. Mobile incremental games, due to their addictive nature, tend to make a lot of money. It's very lucrative, and therefore these games are quite abundant on mobile storefronts.

This is something that has been discussed and analyzed by many people, and to some extent, I feel like everything that can be said on the topic already has. However, a lot of these analyses are from the perspective of those with not as much experience and involvement within the genre as I'd argue would be necessary for a fully contextualized answer. I'm interested in ludology and part of that includes interpreting games as art, and to that end what constitutes a game, let alone a "good game". Incremental games are oft criticized, unfairly in my biased opinion, of not even constituting games, such as was posited by this polygon article.

Numbers Going Up ​

This is a very common response to why people enjoy incremental games, although it's not one I find compels me personally, and I suspect it might be a stand-in for progression) or Guide to Incrementals/What is Content?. But reportedly, some people do just like seeing big numbers. I must reiterate I suspect the actual cause is seeing big numbers in context though - if you start at 1e1000 of a currency and get to 1e1001, that isn't going to feel as satisfying as going from 1e10 to 1e100, and in any case, I don't think a button that just adds a zero to your number will feel quite satisfying - I believe its the sense of having made progress, and comparing where you are to where you started and feeling like you've earned your way here that is enjoyable.

Progression

I think a strong sense of progression is seen as very enjoyable to many players of all sorts of genres - engine builder board games, RPGs, rogue_lites_, etc. Incremental games tend to have an extremely exaggerated sense of progression, which makes them very appealing.

Meta-progression is when games have some sort of progression that persists when other progress gets lost - for example, upgrades that persist between runs of a roguelite game. These are common mechanics in incremental games - in fact, its not uncommon to have multiple of these reset mechanics nested on top of each other, each with their own meta-progression. These are satisfying to players, although they can be a bit controversial. These mechanics can often be seen as an optional crutch, and in roguelite games, players often challenge themselves to win without any meta progression. Essentially these challenges argue that meta-progression de-emphasizes player skill by replacing it with time served. Incremental games, through their exaggerated progression, eschew that possibility though - they make it impossible to beat without the meta progression systems, as the meta-progression becomes an entire chapter of the gameplay. I'd argue this does not detract from the game, however, and is actually a part of what makes incremental games, and roguelikes, enjoyable to many players: meta-progression augments the increases in skill the player is naturally gaining as they play. In effect, it's not replacing the skill increase, but exaggerating it to make it feel more real to the player.

Effortlessness ​

Incremental games are so easy, a lot of them even have you progress while you're not playing! Part of the appeal is being able to feel like you're making progress while doing something actually productive - multitasking, in a way. In this sense, the game is more of a fidget toy - not something to think hard about and play actively, but something to click a few buttons every so often while you're paying attention to a lecture or studying or working. Of course, not all incremental games lend themselves to being played this way - it's specifically "idle" games that work like this. These are games that take an incredibly long amount of time to see all the content, stretching it as thin as possible, but they aren't expecting you to be sitting at your device playing it the entire time. They expect you to leave and come back later to make a bit of progress and repeat the cycle.

If you look at the higher-level play of most games, you'll see them perform difficult feats with ease and speed. They'll achieve a "flow state" that takes all their knowledge and experience of the game and uses it to play the game as instinctively as possible. It's incredible to watch things like Slay the Spire speed runs or competitive DDR-likes. I'd argue the goal of a lot of games with a competitive scene is to get so good that the game becomes effortless. In that sense, a game that allows you to reach that point earlier isn't any less legitimate, but rather lowers the barrier to entry by allowing more people to get "really good" at the game. And to be clear, (most) incremental games aren't trivially easy - they, and to an extent, every game will have some level of learning and improvement over time.

Addiction

A lot of these reasons for why incremental games appeal may have reminded you of why gambling appeals to people, particularly those prone to addiction. Indeed, incremental games are quite often criticized for their similarity to a skinner box. Some have gone as far as to say incremental games as a genre are commenting that all games are skinner boxes). The argument goes that some games are not fun, but rather condition players into continuing to play without actually getting anything from the experience. When tied to real-world money this is seen as predatory, and to a lesser extent, even free games may be feeding the addictive sides of people and making them more prone to seek out gambling or micro-transaction heavy games.

While incremental games can be fun and even healthy in certain contexts, they can exacerbate video game addiction more than other genres. If you feel like playing incremental games is taking priority over other things in your life, or manipulating your sleep schedule, it may be prudent to seek help. See r/StopGaming for resources.

Since incremental games are often built on extrinsic motivations in the form of progression systems, it's hard to argue whether players continue to play because they are enjoying the gameplay, or if they are just conditioned to keep doing it because the game keeps rewarding them. Unfortunately, it can often feel like it's the latter, as there isn't typically anything compelling about the "gameplay" of clicking a button and waiting. There may be a significant overlap between those who enjoy incremental games and those who are most prone to addiction, and there are often posts on r/incremental_games about someone either struggling with or overcoming video game addiction.

Strategy ​

Incremental games could be considered a subset of strategy games), and inherit the appeals of strategy games. This includes the appeal of feeling like you've found a good solution to a puzzle, or that you're learning more about the game and are improving at making decisions within it.

Note that strategy games are not all the same difficulty, as well. Cookie Clicker is probably easier than Starcraft 2 (although late game may beg to differ). Plenty of incremental games can be used as evidence that "easier" strategies may have their separate appeal to harder strategy games - players like to feel smart and that they figured the game out and have optimized or mastered it, and the game being easier doesn't detract from that sense of accomplishment as much as it allows more and more users to be able to reach the point where they gain that sense.

Avoiding Staleness ​

Incremental games tend to have "paradigm shifts", where the gameplay changes in a meaningful way at various times throughout the progression of the game. These upset and change the gameplay loop, which helps keep them from stagnating. This constant "freshness" to the gameplay can keep players engaged for longer, compared to a game with a repetitive and static gameplay loop.

Good Game Design ​

Incremental games tend to show their game design "plainly", so it's more readily apparent if a game has good game design while playing, even if you're not looking for it. While different players have different preferences and might enjoy different types of games more than others, there are underlying good and bad game design principles that players will notice the effects of. To be clear, this isn't talking about stuff like big numbers being enjoyable, where I can comfortably agree to disagree with other players. They don't intrinsically make my experience better, but I'm aware of those for whom it does and I won't argue against their feelings. However, the game designer in me does feel like there are some extremely clear-cut examples of good and bad game design philosophies.

Let's start by giving an example of a mechanic I think can be easily and strongly argued is good game design. There are of course many examples, but a personal favorite of mine is how DOOM encourages aggressive gameplay by linking health drops to melee attacks. It has an intended experience it's trying to give the player - immersing themselves as DOOM guy, who would not hide behind cover when low on health - and this mechanic does a great job at encouraging and effectively teaching players to behave properly. This is in sharp contrast to shooters like Call of Duty, which have you regen health passively, encouraging players to hide behind cover and wait after getting hit. Note that I'm not arguing CoD is poorly designed, as the games have different intended experiences. I'm specifically praising DOOM for having a mechanic that does a good job at ensuring the player has that intended experience.

To contrast with an example I think is bad game design, let's talk about shields in souls-likes. This is a bit of a famous example, and I highly recommend this video essay which spends quite a good bit of time on this topic. Essentially, the argument boils down to players of earlier games in the souls games using shields too much - playing slowly, conservatively, and ultimately having less fun. Players wanted to feel safe, so they ended up playing in a way that ruined the experience for them. The developers solved this by removing shields, apart from an intentionally bad one effectively mocking the playstyle, and it did its job at getting players to play more aggressively, and often have more fun.

To bring the conversation back to incrementals, I'm incredibly opinionated on what makes a good incremental game, which I'll discuss in the game design section. Suffice it to say, incremental games rely more on good game design than other genres, due to not having much to distract from bad game design. This helps (although imperfectly - gamers are a bit too tolerant of bad game design!) well-designed games rise to the top within the genre.

Artistic Merit ​

The discussion of whether video games are art has resulted in a pretty universal "yes, they are", but with some games the argument may still crop up. The reason why Incremental games are sometimes questioned is due to their perceived lack of complexity. However, even setting aside the fact that if players are having fun then it's not time wasted, I think games can have artistic merit that supersedes the necessity of having (any / engaging / "deep") gameplay. Incremental games are no less legitimate of a game or the "art" label because of any lack perceived lack of depth. For what it's worth, most art can be consumed with more ease than any video game - any painting, movie, sculpture, etc.

A lot of incrementals have a narrative context that can similarly qualify them as art. Cookie Clicker is, as has been pointed out numerous times before, commenting on excess and increasing production beyond any reasonable limits - devolving into increasing production for its own sake. Indeed, a lot of incremental games are written to comment upon various concepts like capitalism or tropes in games, as discussed when defining Incrementals). However, I'd like to argue most incremental games are still art, even without any narrative context. "Art" as a concept is pretty nebulous already, but I personally like those who define it as an act of expression more than any physical result. The creator and the context within which they created the art, and any meaning they put into it, are all relevant and a part of the art itself. Most incremental games have artistic merit from things like why the creator made it, why they chose to make it an incremental game, and why they made any particular design decision. Hell, even if you play through an entire incremental game without a single thought or feeling, that very fact it elicited nothing can itself be artistic merit!

I'm not an art major, and I may be taking a somewhat extreme take on what is art and what has artistic merit, but I'd argue the overall point stands that games, and incremental games specifically, can have artistic merit, which appeals to many gamers.

This is something that has been discussed and analyzed by many people, and to some extent, I feel like everything that can be said on the topic already has. However, a lot of these analyses are from the perspective of those with not as much experience and involvement within the genre as I'd argue would be necessary for a fully contextualized answer. I'm interested in ludology and part of that includes interpreting games as art, and to that end what constitutes a game, let alone a "good game". Incremental games are oft criticized, unfairly in my biased opinion, of not even constituting games, such as was posited by this polygon article.

Numbers Going Up ​

This is a very common response to why people enjoy incremental games, although it's not one I find compels me personally, and I suspect it might be a stand-in for progression) or Guide to Incrementals/What is Content?. But reportedly, some people do just like seeing big numbers. I must reiterate I suspect the actual cause is seeing big numbers in context though - if you start at 1e1000 of a currency and get to 1e1001, that isn't going to feel as satisfying as going from 1e10 to 1e100, and in any case, I don't think a button that just adds a zero to your number will feel quite satisfying - I believe its the sense of having made progress, and comparing where you are to where you started and feeling like you've earned your way here that is enjoyable.

Progression

I think a strong sense of progression is seen as very enjoyable to many players of all sorts of genres - engine builder board games, RPGs, rogue_lites_, etc. Incremental games tend to have an extremely exaggerated sense of progression, which makes them very appealing.

Meta-progression is when games have some sort of progression that persists when other progress gets lost - for example, upgrades that persist between runs of a roguelite game. These are common mechanics in incremental games - in fact, its not uncommon to have multiple of these reset mechanics nested on top of each other, each with their own meta-progression. These are satisfying to players, although they can be a bit controversial. These mechanics can often be seen as an optional crutch, and in roguelite games, players often challenge themselves to win without any meta progression. Essentially these challenges argue that meta-progression de-emphasizes player skill by replacing it with time served. Incremental games, through their exaggerated progression, eschew that possibility though - they make it impossible to beat without the meta progression systems, as the meta-progression becomes an entire chapter of the gameplay. I'd argue this does not detract from the game, however, and is actually a part of what makes incremental games, and roguelikes, enjoyable to many players: meta-progression augments the increases in skill the player is naturally gaining as they play. In effect, it's not replacing the skill increase, but exaggerating it to make it feel more real to the player.

Effortlessness ​

Incremental games are so easy, a lot of them even have you progress while you're not playing! Part of the appeal is being able to feel like you're making progress while doing something actually productive - multitasking, in a way. In this sense, the game is more of a fidget toy - not something to think hard about and play actively, but something to click a few buttons every so often while you're paying attention to a lecture or studying or working. Of course, not all incremental games lend themselves to being played this way - it's specifically "idle" games that work like this. These are games that take an incredibly long amount of time to see all the content, stretching it as thin as possible, but they aren't expecting you to be sitting at your device playing it the entire time. They expect you to leave and come back later to make a bit of progress and repeat the cycle.

If you look at the higher-level play of most games, you'll see them perform difficult feats with ease and speed. They'll achieve a "flow state" that takes all their knowledge and experience of the game and uses it to play the game as instinctively as possible. It's incredible to watch things like Slay the Spire speed runs or competitive DDR-likes. I'd argue the goal of a lot of games with a competitive scene is to get so good that the game becomes effortless. In that sense, a game that allows you to reach that point earlier isn't any less legitimate, but rather lowers the barrier to entry by allowing more people to get "really good" at the game. And to be clear, (most) incremental games aren't trivially easy - they, and to an extent, every game will have some level of learning and improvement over time.

Addiction

A lot of these reasons for why incremental games appeal may have reminded you of why gambling appeals to people, particularly those prone to addiction. Indeed, incremental games are quite often criticized for their similarity to a skinner box. Some have gone as far as to say incremental games as a genre are commenting that all games are skinner boxes). The argument goes that some games are not fun, but rather condition players into continuing to play without actually getting anything from the experience. When tied to real-world money this is seen as predatory, and to a lesser extent, even free games may be feeding the addictive sides of people and making them more prone to seek out gambling or micro-transaction heavy games.

While incremental games can be fun and even healthy in certain contexts, they can exacerbate video game addiction more than other genres. If you feel like playing incremental games is taking priority over other things in your life, or manipulating your sleep schedule, it may be prudent to seek help. See r/StopGaming for resources.

Since incremental games are often built on extrinsic motivations in the form of progression systems, it's hard to argue whether players continue to play because they are enjoying the gameplay, or if they are just conditioned to keep doing it because the game keeps rewarding them. Unfortunately, it can often feel like it's the latter, as there isn't typically anything compelling about the "gameplay" of clicking a button and waiting. There may be a significant overlap between those who enjoy incremental games and those who are most prone to addiction, and there are often posts on r/incremental_games about someone either struggling with or overcoming video game addiction.

Strategy ​

Incremental games could be considered a subset of strategy games), and inherit the appeals of strategy games. This includes the appeal of feeling like you've found a good solution to a puzzle, or that you're learning more about the game and are improving at making decisions within it.

Note that strategy games are not all the same difficulty, as well. Cookie Clicker is probably easier than Starcraft 2 (although late game may beg to differ). Plenty of incremental games can be used as evidence that "easier" strategies may have their separate appeal to harder strategy games - players like to feel smart and that they figured the game out and have optimized or mastered it, and the game being easier doesn't detract from that sense of accomplishment as much as it allows more and more users to be able to reach the point where they gain that sense.

Avoiding Staleness ​

Incremental games tend to have "paradigm shifts", where the gameplay changes in a meaningful way at various times throughout the progression of the game. These upset and change the gameplay loop, which helps keep them from stagnating. This constant "freshness" to the gameplay can keep players engaged for longer, compared to a game with a repetitive and static gameplay loop.

Good Game Design ​

Incremental games tend to show their game design "plainly", so it's more readily apparent if a game has good game design while playing, even if you're not looking for it. While different players have different preferences and might enjoy different types of games more than others, there are underlying good and bad game design principles that players will notice the effects of. To be clear, this isn't talking about stuff like big numbers being enjoyable, where I can comfortably agree to disagree with other players. They don't intrinsically make my experience better, but I'm aware of those for whom it does and I won't argue against their feelings. However, the game designer in me does feel like there are some extremely clear-cut examples of good and bad game design philosophies.

Let's start by giving an example of a mechanic I think can be easily and strongly argued is good game design. There are of course many examples, but a personal favorite of mine is how DOOM encourages aggressive gameplay by linking health drops to melee attacks. It has an intended experience it's trying to give the player - immersing themselves as DOOM guy, who would not hide behind cover when low on health - and this mechanic does a great job at encouraging and effectively teaching players to behave properly. This is in sharp contrast to shooters like Call of Duty, which have you regen health passively, encouraging players to hide behind cover and wait after getting hit. Note that I'm not arguing CoD is poorly designed, as the games have different intended experiences. I'm specifically praising DOOM for having a mechanic that does a good job at ensuring the player has that intended experience.

To contrast with an example I think is bad game design, let's talk about shields in souls-likes. This is a bit of a famous example, and I highly recommend this video essay which spends quite a good bit of time on this topic. Essentially, the argument boils down to players of earlier games in the souls games using shields too much - playing slowly, conservatively, and ultimately having less fun. Players wanted to feel safe, so they ended up playing in a way that ruined the experience for them. The developers solved this by removing shields, apart from an intentionally bad one effectively mocking the playstyle, and it did its job at getting players to play more aggressively, and often have more fun.

To bring the conversation back to incrementals, I'm incredibly opinionated on what makes a good incremental game, which I'll discuss in the game design section. Suffice it to say, incremental games rely more on good game design than other genres, due to not having much to distract from bad game design.

Guide to Incrementals/What is Content?

2272 words, ~12 minute read. Planted -. Last tended to -.

Referenced by:Incremental SocialKronosSocial Media

If you've been in the incremental games community for any amount of time, you'll quickly find the number one thing players want is content. They want as much of it as possible! The most popular incremental games have tons of content, so they just keep stretching on and on and on, introducing mechanic after mechanic, and players love it. In fact, players seem to value the amount of content over the quality of any specific content. However, there's a bit of a lack of understanding concerning what content is, and I'd like to explore what counts as content, and how we measure it. As a baseline definition, I think "content" can just be described as the parts of the game that engage the player, but to truly understand it we need to contextualize what that means and how it affects the gameplay experience.

To clarify the purpose of this page, my goal is not to get (too) nitpicky or to attack games with "low content". There's nothing wrong with short / low-content games - I'm quite a big fan of those games myself! This is mostly targeted toward those who ask for content and settle for "long" games, and those who want to provide content but want to make sure they're not just artificially inflating the game. Ultimately, I suppose the goal is to just reduce the amount of artificially inflated content for the sake of having a "longer" game.

Interaction ​

I think it should be a fairly non-controversial opinion that time spent solely waiting should not count towards content. That is not including the time reading various effects or making decisions in your head, but rather time spent waiting for a condition to be met so you can re-engage with the game.

That is not to say games should necessarily try to minimize this time. Plenty of games lead towards more infrequent interaction and still get popular. In fact, these games appeal to many gamers who want to have something to check up on in between bursts of working on some other activity. These games seem to have fallen slightly out of fashion amongst modern incremental games, but they're still fully valid. The point I'm trying to make here is just that this time is not content. As an extreme example, a game with no interactions and just a counter that goes up every second could safely be said to have 0 content beyond the time it takes to understand what's going on. If it has a list of "goals" to hit, then the time understanding those goals and a short time after achieving each one could be considered content, but not the idle times in between.

Let's take a look at the opposite end of the spectrum - interaction that is so frequent as to become mindless. This is any mechanic where you need to spam-click something to progress. This may be a more controversial take, but I do not believe this constitutes content either. It does not engage the player, because each consecutive click blends together and they do not individually change the gameplay experience. That is to say, a single click and 100 clicks are not meaningfully different in terms of engaging the player. I'd go as far as to say clicking 100 times would be actively worse, as it's artificially delaying the next piece of actual content, alongside the issues of accessibility and potentially causing RSI.

Repeatable Purchases ​

Imagine an entity in a game that you can purchase multiple times, each time it performs the same thing but for a higher cost. These are incredibly common, from the buildings in cookie clicker to the units in swarm sim to the IP and EP multipliers in antimatter dimensions. However, how much content is each specific purchase? Is it content beyond the first purchase? Does it have diminishing returns? What if you are oscillating between two different repeatable purchases? How much content is lost when you automate) away a repeatable purchase?

I don't want to take too harsh a stance against repeatable purchases. They're useful tools and can be used in a myriad of interesting ways. I feel they do become "stale" or less meaningful content over time, and this happens exponentially quickly the more frequently it can be purchased. A classic example that I believe goes too far is the IP/EP multipliers in Antimatter Dimensions. I would go as far as to say they are a chore and do not provide any meaningful content after you've bought them a couple of times. It's a method for inflating numbers (effectively making every OOM a 5x step instead of 10x), that punishes the player progression-wise whenever they forget to max it again, and eventually gets automated away as a reward to the player for making enough progress.

Just to voice the other side of this argument, Acamaeda defended the IP multiplier as giving the player a "good" upgrade every OOM. I can understand that to a point and need to clarify I'm mainly criticizing IP/EP multipliers after they've been introduced for a while. In fact, I would defend the multipliers for a short while after they're introduced using the same logic I would use to defend normal dimensions as repeatable purchases, at least pre-infinity. There's "content" to be had in looking at what dimensions will become affordable next, and then choosing which to buy amongst those. The IP/EP multipliers, early into infinity or eternity respectively, provide another option that gets put into that mental queue of things to buy with each OOM reached - although the optimal order is often quite trivial and not particularly engaging.

The IP/EP multipliers are not the only repeatable purchase in antimatter dimensions I take offense to. The time dimensions are also a series of repeatable purchases, that are all so similar and static that it doesn't take long before you never need to put any thought into buying them, how much you're buying at once, or the order you buy them in - you just press max all and move on. The entire tab could've been just the max all button and it would not have made a difference beyond the start of the eternity layer. The normal dimensions technically have this problem as well, but since you're constantly getting antimatter the order feels like it has a larger impact and it's more meaningful content, right up until they're automated away. Infinity dimensions are a compromise between the two, so I'm highlighting time dimensions here as the most egregious.

Following Instructions ​

We're getting more and more controversial as we go along! Let's talk about how linear content is not content now (in some circumstances). A trend in incremental games is adding difficulty by adding a web of effects that abstract the true change you can expect from any specific purchase or decision you make. If a game is both linear and sufficiently abstracts the effect of player decisions, then the player will no longer be engaging with the content - they'll simply be clicking on things as they become available. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, as plenty of players don't mind this style of gameplay, but I'd argue once you reach a point where players don't bother reading the effects, those interactions are no longer truly content. Note that unlike the previous qualifiers mentioned, this qualifier is based on the player, and therefore subjective. In effect, it's a spectrum where the more complicated the web of effects becomes, the more likely it is to disengage the player.

This over-complicatedness leading to disengaging the player can also happen from non-linear gameplay. If the web of effects becomes sufficiently complicated and finding the optimal progression route too time-consuming to discover, players will seek out guides from other players who've completed the game. The second they do this, the game effectively becomes linearly following the instructions of the guide and all the above criticisms apply. Similarly to as before, though, this is a spectrum and not everyone will seek out a guide at the same level of difficulty.

Automation

Automation is a staple of the genre, but it has certain implications for the design of the game. Why, when new content is introduced, must the older content be automated away - why is it a chore and it feels rewarding to not have to do it again? Why does the new mechanic have such appeal if we know it too will just be automated away later on, and we'll be happy when that happens? It honestly begs the question of why this framework of introducing content and automating the old content is even enjoyable - and nearly nonexistent in other genres. You're not going to reach a point in a platformer game where they just automate the jumping part - that's the core mechanic! Instead, platformers either add new mechanics that build on the core mechanic or at least re-contextualize the core mechanic. However, in incremental games new content very frequently means replacing older content, as opposed to augmenting it.

Admittedly, the above paragraph ignores the obvious answer that separates incremental games in this regard. These mechanics become chores as their frequency increases. The frequency increases to give a sense of progression, and automation is seen as a reward because it now manages what was becoming unmanageable. The new content then comes in and continues the loop to give a stronger sense of progression. That's all good and a fine justification for automating content instead of building upon the base mechanic. It's also much easier to design, as each layer essentially lets you start over instead of needing to think of ideas that conform to the original core mechanic.

So, what's the problem? Even if this trend is justified and easy to implement, there are some other effects it has on the game design. First off, and this is probably a neutral point, incremental games with this cycle of replacing old mechanics with new ones trend towards more and more abstract and further away from any narrative throughline as they add layers. There are only so many justifications for resetting progress, so if a game wants to have several of these layers they're inevitably going to become generic or increasingly loosely associated with the original content. It's most unfortunate, in my opinion when an interesting or innovative core mechanic gets fully automated once a generic "prestige" layer is unlocked.

A recent example is Really Grass Cutting Incremental, an incremental game about cutting grass (although I'm really criticizing the Roblox game it's based on). Except, it doesn't continue to be about cutting grass. After you buy enough upgrades to increase your grass cutting and level up sufficiently you "prestige", an abstract term that in this case means you reset all your progress to get some currency to buy upgrades that do the same things as the original upgrades, but these won't reset on future prestiges. You'll eventually be able to "crystallize", which means you reset all your progress to get some currency to buy upgrades that do the same things as the original upgrades (and a couple of new ones) and won't reset on future crystallizes. Fine. You'll progress a bit, complete some challenges, and finally get to... grasshop? Grasshopping is this mechanic where you reset all your progress to get some resource that isn't for buying upgrades - this time you just unlock different modifiers on everything based on their amount. You may have gotten the point by now, but there are also "steelie" resets which give you steel for some reason, before unlocking a factory with various machines - none of which are directly tied to cutting grass, and start gathering things like oil and reset for rocket parts and reset to go to space and so on and so on. Throughout all of this there is absolutely no narrative justification or throughline for the direction the game is going, or why cutting grass is still relevant when we're collecting things like rocket parts. I may be going a little hard on GCI, but it is far from alone.

Ending the Game ​

Incremental games do not often have a planned out narrative or ending,, such that each content update is approached as its own unit of narrative and gameplay. This prevents content updates from wrapping up the game nicely - it always has to leave something open for another content layer; be it another mechanic, reset layer, etc. This cycle will continue until the updates just stop, at which point the game will just have an unsatisfying conclusion that will never get the next thing it was supposed to be leading into. This reminds me of a Leonardo Da Vinci quote about how Art is Never Complete:

Art is never finished, only abandoned. - Leonardo Da Vinci

For what its worth, there are exceptions here (including several of My Projects). I believe this practice is actually fairly reasonable, considering how many incremental game developers are learning game design and programming - keeping the scope small and expanding if it still interests you is a great way to keep learning without letting things like perfectionism or sunk cost fallacies get in the way.

Tips for Developers ​

If you're a developer, by this point you should have a pretty decent idea of how to create "true" content in your game. Here are some other specific tips I'd suggest:

An upgrade that simply unlocks another upgrade trivially isn't content. However, many games have an upgrade that just unlocks a feature, which then has a wait or other requirements before it can be used. Try to make sure when you unlock a feature, there is immediately something to do with the feature - for example, perhaps give them a small amount of the new currency it unlocks, if applicable.

If you don't have a large web of effects, and can definitively say the impact of a purchase is to multiply the gain of the cost currency by N, and the next purchase costs N times the amount of that same currency, then this purchase effectively made no difference and it may have made more sense to just go directly to the next upgrade. That said, having effects based on things like the number of purchases made will quickly invalidate this tip.

Note that unlike the previous qualifiers mentioned, this qualifier is based on the player, and therefore subjective. In effect, it's a spectrum where the more complicated the web of effects becomes, the more likely it is to disengage the player.

This over-complicatedness leading to disengaging the player can also happen from non-linear gameplay. If the web of effects becomes sufficiently complicated and finding the optimal progression route too time-consuming to discover, players will seek out guides from other players who've completed the game. The second they do this, the game effectively becomes linearly following the instructions of the guide and all the above criticisms apply. Similarly to as before, though, this is a spectrum and not everyone will seek out a guide at the same level of difficulty.

Automation

Automation is a staple of the genre, but it has certain implications for the design of the game. Why, when new content is introduced, must the older content be automated away - why is it a chore and it feels rewarding to not have to do it again? Why does the new mechanic have such appeal if we know it too will just be automated away later on, and we'll be happy when that happens? It honestly begs the question of why this framework of introducing content and automating the old content is even enjoyable - and nearly nonexistent in other genres. You're not going to reach a point in a platformer game where they just automate the jumping part - that's the core mechanic! Instead, platformers either add new mechanics that build on the core mechanic or at least re-contextualize the core mechanic. However, in incremental games new content very frequently means replacing older content, as opposed to augmenting it.

Admittedly, the above paragraph ignores the obvious answer that separates incremental games in this regard. These mechanics become chores as their frequency increases. The frequency increases to give a sense of progression, and automation is seen as a reward because it now manages what was becoming unmanageable. The new content then comes in and continues the loop to give a stronger sense of progression. That's all good and a fine justification for automating content instead of building upon the base mechanic. It's also much easier to design, as each layer essentially lets you start over instead of needing to think of ideas that conform to the original core mechanic.

So, what's the problem? Even if this trend is justified and easy to implement, there are some other effects it has on the game design. First off, and this is probably a neutral point, incremental games with this cycle of replacing old mechanics with new ones trend towards more and more abstract and further away from any narrative throughline as they add layers. There are only so many justifications for resetting progress, so if a game wants to have several of these layers they're inevitably going to become generic or increasingly loosely associated with the original content. It's most unfortunate, in my opinion when an interesting or innovative core mechanic gets fully automated once a generic "prestige" layer is unlocked.

A recent example is Really Grass Cutting Incremental, an incremental game about cutting grass (although I'm really criticizing the Roblox game it's based on). Except, it doesn't continue to be about cutting grass. After you buy enough upgrades to increase your grass cutting and level up sufficiently you "prestige", an abstract term that in this case means you reset all your progress to get some currency to buy upgrades that do the same things as the original upgrades, but these won't reset on future prestiges. You'll eventually be able to "crystallize", which means you reset all your progress to get some currency to buy upgrades that do the same things as the original upgrades (and a couple of new ones) and won't reset on future crystallizes. Fine. You'll progress a bit, complete some challenges, and finally get to... grasshop? Grasshopping is this mechanic where you reset all your progress to get some resource that isn't for buying upgrades - this time you just unlock different modifiers on everything based on their amount. You may have gotten the point by now, but there are also "steelie" resets which give you steel for some reason, before unlocking a factory with various machines - none of which are directly tied to cutting grass, and start gathering things like oil and reset for rocket parts and reset to go to space and so on and so on. Throughout all of this there is absolutely no narrative justification or throughline for the direction the game is going, or why cutting grass is still relevant when we're collecting things like rocket parts. I may be going a little hard on GCI, but it is far from alone.

Ending the Game ​

Incremental games do not often have a planned out narrative or ending,, such that each content update is approached as its own unit of narrative and gameplay. This prevents content updates from wrapping up the game nicely - it always has to leave something open for another content layer; be it another mechanic, reset layer, etc. This cycle will continue until the updates just stop, at which point the game will just have an unsatisfying conclusion that will never get the next thing it was supposed to be leading into. This reminds me of a Leonardo Da Vinci quote about how Art is Never Complete:

Art is never finished, only abandoned. - Leonardo Da Vinci

For what its worth, there are exceptions here (including several of My Projects). I believe this practice is actually fairly reasonable, considering how many incremental game developers are learning game design and programming - keeping the scope small and expanding if it still interests you is a great way to keep learning without letting things like perfectionism or sunk cost fallacies get in the way.

Tips for Developers ​

If you're a developer, by this point you should have a pretty decent idea of how to create "true" content in your game. Here are some other specific tips I'd suggest:

An upgrade that simply unlocks another upgrade trivially isn't content. However, many games have an upgrade that just unlocks a feature, which then has a wait or other requirements before it can be used. Try to make sure when you unlock a feature, there is immediately something to do with the feature - for example, perhaps give them a small amount of the new currency it unlocks, if applicable.

If you don't have a large web of effects, and can definitively say the impact of a purchase is to multiply the gain of the cost currency by N, and the next purchase costs N times the amount of that same currency, then this purchase effectively made no difference and it may have made more sense to just go directly to the next upgrade. That said, having effects based on things like the number of purchases made will quickly invalidate this tip.

Guide to Incrementals/Defining the Genre

4048 words, ~22 minute read. Planted -. Last tended to -.

Referenced by:Incremental SocialKronosSocial Media

Video games are placed into genres for a variety of reasons. They can give a mental shorthand to set the player's expectations up, they can help a game market itself by its similarities to other, already popular games, and honestly, people just love categorization for its own sake. For this guide, it's important to define the genre so it is clear what games it's even talking about.

This poses a problem. Genres, being Social Constructs, suffer from the usual issues social constructs have of being vague and shifting over time. "Incremental", in particular, is a horribly vague way to define games. Most games have numbers going up in some form or another. We need a more specific definition - similar to how "strategy" can't just mean any game with any amount of strategy because that would be most games. What specifically differentiates incremental games from the rest?

"Incremental" implies it's a genre defined by a game mechanic, but all those game mechanics it could imply exist in many other games. Having a skill tree or upgrades doesn't make you incremental, and if a reset mechanic is all it takes then every roguelite would be an incremental as well. So clearly there's more to it than that - what makes an incremental an incremental?

I'd like to go over a couple of popular suggestions I've seen on defining the genre here. I have my personal preferences and will state them here, but I don't think there's a truly perfect answer.

BTW, if this article made you realize discourse around defining genres is actually a really interesting, even fascinating, topic, I recommend this video essay: Who Shot Guybrush Threepwood? | Genre and the Adventure Game.

Disclaimer: I mostly play incremental games on my computer, and my definitions will be heavily biased towards the games I'm familiar with.

Incrementals vs Idlers vs Clickers ​

Oftentimes people refer to this genre as idle games and/or clicker games. You'll even find a trend of oxymoronic game titles that contain both terms. "Incremental games" is the umbrella term both those terms fall under. However, I'd like to argue that not only is it better to just use the term "incremental games", but calling them "idle games" or "clicker games" is wrong. Almost universally, these terms are used interchangeably to refer to the same kind of game, where you start the game click spamming and eventually automate the process. Frankly, that kind of game deserves neither title, and the genre of incremental games has trended away from ever requiring click spamming, as it's a bad mechanic, anyways.

While these games do span a spectrum of how active it requires you to be, and sorting games by that metric can be useful for those looking for a particular experience, the borders of when an incremental game counts as an "idler" is too blurry for the term to be useful. "Incremental games" may not be a great descriptive term for the genre (hence this many thousands of words long page on defining what the genre even is), but it's strictly better than calling them "idler" or "clicker" games. This guide will always use the term "incremental games" unless quoting someone else, as it is the term you typically see on all modern games in the genre.

Incrementals as Parodies

Let's start with one of the most interesting definitions of incremental games. Incremental games appear to be distilled versions of games or genres, "revealing" the naked game design at the core of these games or genres not unlike how parodies comment upon their source material.

To understand what that means, think of how a casino uses skinner boxes to emotionally manipulate its customers to keep playing, but "dressing" up the skinner box with tons of stimuli to hide that ultimately the goal is to condition you into coming back compulsively. The idea that incremental games are parodies means taking the stance that at some level all games are similarly manipulating you, giving dopamine rewards in a way that manipulates you to keep playing while not necessarily giving you any value or fulfillment. Incremental games, then, are any games that plainly display the skinner box, and the manipulative core of the game, at the forefront of the experience.

While incremental games can be fun and even healthy in certain contexts, they can exacerbate video game addiction more than other genres. If you feel like playing incremental games is taking priority over other things in your life, or manipulating your sleep schedule, it may be prudent to seek help. See r/StopGaming for resources.

This "undressing" tends to go hand in hand with a reduced focus on aesthetics, often just printing the game state directly to the screen as text. This makes incremental games much easier to develop, particularly for those with programming skills but not art skills, but that's a tangent for why Incremental Games Guide to Incrementals/Appeal to Developers.

Before I continue, I'd like to make my stance clear that I love games and incremental games, and do not think they should be considered inherently bad or manipulative with the above logic. Skinner boxes are just a way of manipulating behavior via rewards. The games are still fun - that's the reward! I'd believe the real criticism here is that it is "empty fun", or "empty dopamine", that doesn't offer any additional value or sense of fulfillment. I don't think that's inherently bad in moderation, although it can become a problem if the game is manipulating you for profit-seeking, or if you play the game to the detriment of the other parts of your life.

Another interpretation of incremental games as parodies comes from several mainstream incremental games that are also parodies of capitalism, such as cookie clicker and adventure capitalist. It's a very common framework for incremental games to portray the ever-increasing numbers as an insatiable hunger for resources, like the ones observed within capitalism. Therefore, these games are used as evidence that the genre as a whole is about parody and commentary.

Popular videos on incremental games that portray the genre as parodies are Why Idle games make good satire, and how it was ruined. and Bad Game Design - Clicker Games. You may also be interested in this response to the latter video from a fan of incremental games: BadGood Game Design - Clicker Games.

I think that this definition ultimately ascribes a motive to the genre as a whole that only happens to apply to some of the more mainstream titles. There certainly are incremental games commenting on different things, including the genre itself as in the case of The Prestige Tree Classic, The Ascension Tree, or Omega Layers, but certainly not all. And of course, not all games that comment on something or parody something are incremental games! Additionally, a very large majority of incremental games are mobile games using these manipulative strategies to get players to spend as much money as possible - hell, Adventure Capitalist is ostensibly a critique on capitalism but features microtransactions and gameplay that manipulates you into buying them! These profit-seeking incremental games certainly belong within the genre but are hardly parodies when they too use manipulation to serve their interests. Also, from my own anecdotal experience, those who use this definition seem to do so from a fairly surface-level familiarity with the genre, and often in the context of criticizing the genre or the fans thereof.

Incrementals as NGU ​

Another broad definition often used is that incremental games are games where the focus of the game is "numbers going up". This definition proposes that other genres simply use increasing numbers as a means to an end, but incremental games uniquely only care about the numbers themselves going up. Put another way, it implies there should be no narrative justification for the numbers going up other than "why shouldn't they be going up?"

While this definition is common because it feels easy to understand, it is difficult to formally define. Often phrases are used to describe games using this framework, such as having an "exaggerated sense of progression" or "big" numbers. These terms are vague and don't demonstrate an actual threshold between non-incrementals and incrementals. Most games have a sense of progression, so when is it "exaggerated"? How big are "big" numbers? Most notably, RPGs that are typically not considered incrementals will often pass this definition.

Additionally, a lot of incrementals tend to have some theme guiding the gameplay, or at least the names of mechanics. This makes the line blurred between when numbers are going up for their own sake versus for a contextual reason. I believe this point is best illustrated that, while most RPGs are not considered incremental games, there is a sub-genre of "incremental RPGs" that typically relates to RPGs that perform combat automatically. This definition of incremental games does not support RPGs and "incremental RPGs" being on distinct sides of the line if the only difference between them is manual vs automatic combat.

Incrementals as Strategies

This is a rarer interpretation, but there are similarities between incremental games and strategy games, implying incrementals might just be a sub-genre of strategy games. By this approach, incremental games would be defined by their relation to strategy games, and how they involve player strategy. Incremental games are often large optimization problems - above all else, the actual gameplay the player is performing is deciding what to do next. The consequences of wrong decisions are typically more lenient in incremental games - such as just not making optimal progress - but they certainly get complex.

So if we accept the premise that incrementals could fall under strategy, we still need to define what makes a strategy game an incremental versus some other strategy sub-genre. This is a bit tricky due to one particular sub-genre of strategy games: Factory Builders.

Factory builders, such as Factorio or Satisfactory, are games about gaining ever increasing resources, optimizing production, and expanding more and more. That... sounds pretty similar, doesn't it? In fact, there's been some debate on whether factory builders would fall under the "incremental" umbrella. I think it's safe to say the two are certainly related, and probably have quite a bit of overlap in playerbase.

Roguelites as Incrementals? ​

Earlier on, I mentioned reset mechanics shouldn't be used in the definition because that could make all roguelites incrementals... But what if it does? A lot of incrementals can be described as games with a strong sense of progression, often with layers of meta-progression. Roguelites fit that bill to a T. What would make roguelites not incremental? I honestly don't think there's a good explanation here, but many fans of incremental games will state they do believe the two genres to be unrelated, even if there's a significant overlap between their player bases due to having similar appealing traits.

At this point, it'd be appropriate to consider what part of the definition of roguelites precludes them from also being incrementals, but that reveals a new problem: What are roguelites? They're usually defined as rogue_likes with meta-progression, but that just pushes the problem back a step: Incrementals aren't the only genre to have difficulties defining themselves, it seems! Roguelikes are another genre where the community argues over the formal definition of their genre, although that means we can borrow from their process of coming to a consensus, and maybe come across a viable definition for incremental games.

The Berlin Interpretation ​

By far the most popular way of defining roguelikes is the "Berlin Interpretation", which acknowledged the diversity of games within the genre and argued the definition should not be based on any ideals about what the genre ought to be, but rather defined by "its canon". They argued there are a handful of games that can be used to define the canon for roguelikes, and from those games, a list of factors can be derived to determine a game's "roguelikeness". The more factors a game has, the more of a roguelike it is. This strategy is very lenient, allowing a game to not present any specific factor so long as it shows enough, and accounts for the blurriness of any genre definition by not explicitly stating how many factors a game must have to qualify as a definite roguelike.

I believe this strategy for defining genres can be applied to other genres as well. A handful of games can be argued to be the incremental games canon, and a list of factors derived from them can be used to judge any game based on its "incrementalness". I'll propose such a canon and list of factors here, but by no means should it be considered the end-all-be-all.

Note: The "Temple of the roguelike", an authority within the genre, has since replaced the Berlin Interpretation with a new set of factors here: https://blog.roguetemple.com/what-is-a-traditional-roguelike/

A Modern Incremental Games Canon ​

Alright, time to get controversial. Up til now, I've been trying my best to stay objective and analytical, but now it's time to start making some opinionated decisions. I've created a list of games I think could be justified in making up a modern incremental games canon.

Before I mention the list, let's establish how I got to this list. First off, I'm really focusing on building a definition of the genre today, so I prefer modern games over traditional ones. A canon of culturally or historically significant titles to the genre would give a different list. Keep in mind the original Berlin interpretation (and the temple's update to it) were trying to define "traditional roguelikes", which is not my objective here. Building a canon that aims to trace the history of the genre is still valid and useful.

I'm also trying to ensure I pick a large breadth of incremental games, so I'm going to approach the list as a list of archetypes, with a single game to represent it but with other titles mentioned as other examples. This approach places each archetype as equally important, even if one only has a couple entries. Besides the impracticality of a canon that just includes every game, it'd be very biased towards games with large modding communities like Cookie Clicker or The Prestige Tree.

With all that behind us, here is a list of games I think could justifiably make up a Modern Incremental Games Canon:

  • Dodecadragons

    This game represents incremental games with many prestige layers that often have rapid resets and automate lower layers as more get unlocked. Other examples could also include The Prestige Tree, Really Grass Cutting Incremental Classic, Distance Incremental, or the massive modding community TPT has. A lot of the games I've personally worked on fall in this group, like Advent Incremental.

  • Evolve Idle

    This game represents incremental games with few prestige layers, very slow resets, and a focus on resource management. Typically involve some sort of worker allocation. Other examples would be Kitten's Game, Shark Game, or Magic Research.

  • (the) Gnorp Apologue

    This game represents incremental games with a central mechanic that gets added to by various other mechanics. All the mechanics remain relevant throughout the game, with different ones contributing most over time. Other examples include Nodebuster and To the Core. A lot of traditional games also fall in this archetype by having characters or buildings you level up, that each contribute additively to gaining the primary resources. These include Cookie Clicker, Clicker Heroes, and Realm Grinder. In a way, that makes the modern titles mentioned in this archetype the spiritual successors of those traditional games, and exemplifies how the genre has changed.

  • Idle Momentum

    This game represents incremental games that include polynomial growth as a central mechanic that is then built upon. Other examples include Antimatter Dimensions, Swarm Simulator, and Derivative Clicker.

  • Melvor Idle

    This game represents incremental games that are essentially a genre blend between incremental games and RPGs. Compared to other types of RPGs, these games have a focus on progressing while idle. Other examples would be IdleOn and a very large amount of mobile RPGs.

  • Stuck in Time

    This game represents incremental games that include a reset mechanic where there are pre-defined decisions being made during the course of the run. There's typically a concept of a playable character, whose actions are being "queued up" during a run, and these runs become longer or otherwise more productive as the game progresses. There are a lot of examples of this genre, including Cavernous II, Increlution, Progress Knight, Idle Loops, and Groundhog Life.

  • Universal Paperclips

    This game represents incremental games that involve several phases of completely distinct gameplay that fully replace the previous, called "paradigm shifts". Prestige layers are also often paradigm shifts, but this game represents paradigm shifts that are not reset mechanics but still transform the gameplay. Other examples would be Crank or A Dark Room. Spore would be an example that's not typically considered an incremental.

  • Unnamed Space Idle

    This game represents incremental games that focus on unlocking many different independent progression systems that boost each other, and all remain relevant throughout the course of the game. Other examples include NGU Idle, Anti-Idle, Idle Skilling, and Idle Wizard.

It may look like I've just shifted the problem down a level - rather than defining the genre, I'm now defining a bunch of sub-genres. However, the methods used here for defining the canon, and my attempt at ensuring a breadth of games by determining distinct archetypes, is just my approach. This list is additionally biased towards games I'm more familiar with, which will differ person to person. The only hard and fast rule is that every game on the list should be nearly universally accepted as an incremental game. So long as you do that, the factors should be relatively similar, although ofc individuals will still likely have small differences, as is the nature of socially constructed definitions.

Naturally this canon is a perpetual work-in-progress. I'm currently a bit uncertain about the distinctions between the evolve idle, melvor idle, and unnamed space idle archetypes. I could see those being rewritten as two or even a single archetype.

Unfolding ​

There are several related concepts mentioned in the canon - unfolding, prestige layers, and paradigm shifts. Unfolding is the umbrella term which includes the other two, and is clearly the highest possible value factor for an incremental. It's so common that for a while people referred to incrementals that exhibit this trait as "unfolding" games, to the point of trying to replace the term incremental due to their popularity.

There are many reasons for the appeal of unfolding mechanics. Oftentimes each mechanic builds on top of the existing mechanics, increasing the complexity of the game in steps so the player can follow along. In fact, sometimes the older mechanics will be entirely phased out (e.g. by automating them), so the complexity of the game remains roughly equal throughout the game. In any case, adding new mechanics regularly provides a sense of mystery, with the player anticipating what will happen next. They shake up the gameplay before it gets too stale - allowing the game to entertain for longer before the sense of Guide to Incrementals/What is Content? dissipates. Of the canon games selected above, I would argue every single one contains unfolding to some degree.

I should take a moment to say that while I'm hyping up this specific factor, we cannot just reduce the genre definition to "does it introduce new mechanics over time". Many games have paradigm shifts that are not incremental, so it's just an indicator of incrementalness. Every single canon game may show that it's common amongst incremental games, but could just as easily indicate that they're common in games in general.

High-Value Factors ​

I won't take as long to discuss the high and low-value factors, as you've already seen most of them brought up earlier on this page. As a reminder, a game does NOT need all of these to be an incremental game, but these are factors that each indicate a strong possibility the game is an incremental, so having several of these means they probably are. These factors apply to most of the canon incremental games.

"Pure UI" Display. Incrementals typically have a data-driven interface of the game state - there isn't a visual representation of the entities within the game. The interface resembles what might be a control panel in another genre, with a focus on numbers, buttons, and readouts rather than animated sprites or scenes. Even when there are visual elements, like item icons or simple enemy images, the player's main interaction is with non-diegetic, UI-focused components rather than immersive game visuals.

Reduced Consequences. Incrementals tend to have reduced repurcussions for misplaying. They very rarely have fail states, where often the largest consequence is simply not progressing - never losing progress.

Optimization Problems. The predominant gameplay of incrementals is typically solving optimization problems, from deciding which purchase to save up for to reasoning and deciding between different mutually exclusive options the game presents.

Resource Management. Incrementals tend to have a lot of resources within the game to keep track of.

Low-Value Factors ​

These are low-value factors, meaning they aren't as strongly correlated with incremental games. Incremental games may have none of these, and non-incrementals may have several of these - if a game only has low-value factors, they're probably not an incremental.

Fast Numeric Growth. Numbers in incremental games tend to grow faster than in other genres. There are more instances of superlinear growth. The larger the numbers get, the stronger of a signal this factor is.

Automation. As an incremental game progresses, the player often no longer has to deal with earlier mechanics, by having them either happen automatically or otherwise be replaced with an alternative that requires less player interaction.

Goal-Oriented. Incrementals are often heavily reliant on extrinsic motivation to guide the player. Typically this is through some sort of in-game goal to work towards, such as a certain amount of a resource being required to unlock or purchase something new.

Waiting is a Mechanic. In incremental games, the player may come across times where there is no action they can take, and the game will progress automatically instead. The player must wait for some amount of this automatic progress to occur before they can resume interaction with the game.

Are Roguelites Incrementals? ​

Having made our variation of the Berlin Interpretation for incremental games, we can compare it to the Berlin Interpretation to determine if there's enough overlap that any game that "passes" the Berlin Interpretation would also pass the incremental variant. That is to say, whether any roguelite would also be considered an incremental game.

The meta-progression of an incremental game could arguably be considered a paradigm shift, and certainly adds some resource management. Goal-oriented would probably also apply. I think anything other than those would be a stretch, and in my opinion that just isn't enough to qualify. To be totally honest, I was never expecting to conclude otherwise though 😉

Sub-Genres ​

There are some trends in incremental games that go beyond just being a commonly used mechanic, such that they deeply affect the rest of the game design. To a degree each of the games in the canon could arguably be part of distinct sub-genres, but I think these 4 deserve specific mentions:

Loops games are a sub-genre defined by having a core mechanic related to a loop, where the player is deciding the actions taken per loop. Notable examples include Idle Loops, Stuck in Time, Cavernous II, and Increlution. You may also argue Groundhog Life and Progress Knight fall into this sub-genre.

ITRTG-like games are a sub-genre defined by having a core mechanic based on clearing increasingly difficult battles and often tend to have a lot of different mechanics to become progressively stronger. Notable examples include Idling to Rule the Gods, NGU Idle, and Wizard and Minion Idle.

Polynomial Growth games are a sub-genre defined by having a core mechanic related to a higher degree polynomial. Notable examples include the base layer of Antimatter Dimensions and Swarm Simulator.

Upgrades Games is a category popular on flash games websites that featured games focused on buying upgrades that would allow you to attain more currency in some sort of minigame that would earn you more money to buy more upgrades, which I'd argue now belong under the fold of incremental games. Notable examples include the Learn to Fly series and Upgrade Complete.

Cultivation RPGs are a genre of games, books, and anime popular in China that center around being in a fantasy world with characters getting stronger over time. While few of them get translated into English, a fan of incremental games may find the available games interesting.

If you feel like playing incremental games is taking priority over other things in your life, or manipulating your sleep schedule, it may be prudent to seek help. See r/StopGaming for resources.

This "undressing" tends to go hand in hand with a reduced focus on aesthetics, often just printing the game state directly to the screen as text. This makes incremental games much easier to develop, particularly for those with programming skills but not art skills, but that's a tangent for why Incremental Games Guide to Incrementals/Appeal to Developers.

Before I continue, I'd like to make my stance clear that I love games and incremental games, and do not think they should be considered inherently bad or manipulative with the above logic. Skinner boxes are just a way of manipulating behavior via rewards. The games are still fun - that's the reward! I'd believe the real criticism here is that it is "empty fun", or "empty dopamine", that doesn't offer any additional value or sense of fulfillment. I don't think that's inherently bad in moderation, although it can become a problem if the game is manipulating you for profit-seeking, or if you play the game to the detriment of the other parts of your life.

Another interpretation of incremental games as parodies comes from several mainstream incremental games that are also parodies of capitalism, such as cookie clicker and adventure capitalist. It's a very common framework for incremental games to portray the ever-increasing numbers as an insatiable hunger for resources, like the ones observed within capitalism. Therefore, these games are used as evidence that the genre as a whole is about parody and commentary.

Popular videos on incremental games that portray the genre as parodies are Why Idle games make good satire, and how it was ruined. and Bad Game Design - Clicker Games. You may also be interested in this response to the latter video from a fan of incremental games: BadGood Game Design - Clicker Games.

I think that this definition ultimately ascribes a motive to the genre as a whole that only happens to apply to some of the more mainstream titles. There certainly are incremental games commenting on different things, including the genre itself as in the case of The Prestige Tree Classic, The Ascension Tree, or Omega Layers, but certainly not all. And of course, not all games that comment on something or parody something are incremental games! Additionally, a very large majority of incremental games are mobile games using these manipulative strategies to get players to spend as much money as possible - hell, Adventure Capitalist is ostensibly a critique on capitalism but features microtransactions and gameplay that manipulates you into buying them! These profit-seeking incremental games certainly belong within the genre but are hardly parodies when they too use manipulation to serve their interests. Also, from my own anecdotal experience, those who use this definition seem to do so from a fairly surface-level familiarity with the genre, and often in the context of criticizing the genre or the fans thereof.

Incrementals as NGU ​

Another broad definition often used is that incremental games are games where the focus of the game is "numbers going up". This definition proposes that other genres simply use increasing numbers as a means to an end, but incremental games uniquely only care about the numbers themselves going up. Put another way, it implies there should be no narrative justification for the numbers going up other than "why shouldn't they be going up?"

While this definition is common because it feels easy to understand, it is difficult to formally define. Often phrases are used to describe games using this framework, such as having an "exaggerated sense of progression" or "big" numbers. These terms are vague and don't demonstrate an actual threshold between non-incrementals and incrementals. Most games have a sense of progression, so when is it "exaggerated"? How big are "big" numbers? Most notably, RPGs that are typically not considered incrementals will often pass this definition.

Additionally, a lot of incrementals tend to have some theme guiding the gameplay, or at least the names of mechanics. This makes the line blurred between when numbers are going up for their own sake versus for a contextual reason. I believe this point is best illustrated that, while most RPGs are not considered incremental games, there is a sub-genre of "incremental RPGs" that typically relates to RPGs that perform combat automatically. This definition of incremental games does not support RPGs and "incremental RPGs" being on distinct sides of the line if the only difference between them is manual vs automatic combat.

Incrementals as Strategies

This is a rarer interpretation, but there are similarities between incremental games and strategy games, implying incrementals might just be a sub-genre of strategy games. By this approach, incremental games would be defined by their relation to strategy games, and how they involve player strategy. Incremental games are often large optimization problems - above all else, the actual gameplay the player is performing is deciding what to do next. The consequences of wrong decisions are typically more lenient in incremental games - such as just not making optimal progress - but they certainly get complex.

So if we accept the premise that incrementals could fall under strategy, we still need to define what makes a strategy game an incremental versus some other strategy sub-genre. This is a bit tricky due to one particular sub-genre of strategy games: Factory Builders.

Factory builders, such as Factorio or Satisfactory, are games about gaining ever increasing resources, optimizing production, and expanding more and more. That... sounds pretty similar, doesn't it? In fact, there's been some debate on whether factory builders would fall under the "incremental" umbrella. I think it's safe to say the two are certainly related, and probably have quite a bit of overlap in playerbase.

Roguelites as Incrementals? ​

Earlier on, I mentioned reset mechanics shouldn't be used in the definition because that could make all roguelites incrementals... But what if it does? A lot of incrementals can be described as games with a strong sense of progression, often with layers of meta-progression. Roguelites fit that bill to a T. What would make roguelites not incremental? I honestly don't think there's a good explanation here, but many fans of incremental games will state they do believe the two genres to be unrelated, even if there's a significant overlap between their player bases due to having similar appealing traits.

At this point, it'd be appropriate to consider what part of the definition of roguelites precludes them from also being incrementals, but that reveals a new problem: What are roguelites? They're usually defined as rogue_likes with meta-progression, but that just pushes the problem back a step: Incrementals aren't the only genre to have difficulties defining themselves, it seems! Roguelikes are another genre where the community argues over the formal definition of their genre, although that means we can borrow from their process of coming to a consensus, and maybe come across a viable definition for incremental games.

The Berlin Interpretation ​

By far the most popular way of defining roguelikes is the "Berlin Interpretation", which acknowledged the diversity of games within the genre and argued the definition should not be based on any ideals about what the genre ought to be, but rather defined by "its canon". They argued there are a handful of games that can be used to define the canon for roguelikes, and from those games, a list of factors can be derived to determine a game's "roguelikeness". The more factors a game has, the more of a roguelike it is. This strategy is very lenient, allowing a game to not present any specific factor so long as it shows enough, and accounts for the blurriness of any genre definition by not explicitly stating how many factors a game must have to qualify as a definite roguelike.

I believe this strategy for defining genres can be applied to other genres as well. A handful of games can be argued to be the incremental games canon, and a list of factors derived from them can be used to judge any game based on its "incrementalness". I'll propose such a canon and list of factors here, but by no means should it be considered the end-all-be-all.

Note: The "Temple of the roguelike", an authority within the genre, has since replaced the Berlin Interpretation with a new set of factors here: https://blog.roguetemple.com/what-is-a-traditional-roguelike/

A Modern Incremental Games Canon ​

Alright, time to get controversial. Up til now, I've been trying my best to stay objective and analytical, but now it's time to start making some opinionated decisions. I've created a list of games I think could be justified in making up a modern incremental games canon.

Before I mention the list, let's establish how I got to this list. First off, I'm really focusing on building a definition of the genre today, so I prefer modern games over traditional ones. A canon of culturally or historically significant titles to the genre would give a different list. Keep in mind the original Berlin interpretation (and the temple's update to it) were trying to define "traditional roguelikes", which is not my objective here. Building a canon that aims to trace the history of the genre is still valid and useful.

I'm also trying to ensure I pick a large breadth of incremental games, so I'm going to approach the list as a list of archetypes, with a single game to represent it but with other titles mentioned as other examples. This approach places each archetype as equally important, even if one only has a couple entries. Besides the impracticality of a canon that just includes every game, it'd be very biased towards games with large modding communities like Cookie Clicker or The Prestige Tree.

With all that behind us, here is a list of games I think could justifiably make up a Modern Incremental Games Canon:

  • Dodecadragons

    This game represents incremental games with many prestige layers that often have rapid resets and automate lower layers as more get unlocked. Other examples could also include The Prestige Tree, Really Grass Cutting Incremental Classic, Distance Incremental, or the massive modding community TPT has. A lot of the games I've personally worked on fall in this group, like Advent Incremental.

  • Evolve Idle

    This game represents incremental games with few prestige layers, very slow resets, and a focus on resource management. Typically involve some sort of worker allocation. Other examples would be Kitten's Game, Shark Game, or Magic Research.

  • (the) Gnorp Apologue

    This game represents incremental games with a central mechanic that gets added to by various other mechanics. All the mechanics remain relevant throughout the game, with different ones contributing most over time. Other examples include Nodebuster and To the Core. A lot of traditional games also fall in this archetype by having characters or buildings you level up, that each contribute additively to gaining the primary resources. These include Cookie Clicker, Clicker Heroes, and Realm Grinder. In a way, that makes the modern titles mentioned in this archetype the spiritual successors of those traditional games, and exemplifies how the genre has changed.

  • Idle Momentum

    This game represents incremental games that include polynomial growth as a central mechanic that is then built upon. Other examples include Antimatter Dimensions, Swarm Simulator, and Derivative Clicker.

  • Melvor Idle

    This game represents incremental games that are essentially a genre blend between incremental games and RPGs. Compared to other types of RPGs, these games have a focus on progressing while idle. Other examples would be IdleOn and a very large amount of mobile RPGs.

  • Stuck in Time

    This game represents incremental games that include a reset mechanic where there are pre-defined decisions being made during the course of the run. There's typically a concept of a playable character, whose actions are being "queued up" during a run, and these runs become longer or otherwise more productive as the game progresses. There are a lot of examples of this genre, including Cavernous II, Increlution, Progress Knight, Idle Loops, and Groundhog Life.

  • Universal Paperclips

    This game represents incremental games that involve several phases of completely distinct gameplay that fully replace the previous, called "paradigm shifts". Prestige layers are also often paradigm shifts, but this game represents paradigm shifts that are not reset mechanics but still transform the gameplay. Other examples would be Crank or A Dark Room. Spore would be an example that's not typically considered an incremental.

  • Unnamed Space Idle

    This game represents incremental games that focus on unlocking many different independent progression systems that boost each other, and all remain relevant throughout the course of the game. Other examples include NGU Idle, Anti-Idle, Idle Skilling, and Idle Wizard.

It may look like I've just shifted the problem down a level - rather than defining the genre, I'm now defining a bunch of sub-genres. However, the methods used here for defining the canon, and my attempt at ensuring a breadth of games by determining distinct archetypes, is just my approach. This list is additionally biased towards games I'm more familiar with, which will differ person to person. The only hard and fast rule is that every game on the list should be nearly universally accepted as an incremental game. So long as you do that, the factors should be relatively similar, although ofc individuals will still likely have small differences, as is the nature of socially constructed definitions.

Naturally this canon is a perpetual work-in-progress. I'm currently a bit uncertain about the distinctions between the evolve idle, melvor idle, and unnamed space idle archetypes. I could see those being rewritten as two or even a single archetype.

Unfolding ​

There are several related concepts mentioned in the canon - unfolding, prestige layers, and paradigm shifts. Unfolding is the umbrella term which includes the other two, and is clearly the highest possible value factor for an incremental. It's so common that for a while people referred to incrementals that exhibit this trait as "unfolding" games, to the point of trying to replace the term incremental due to their popularity.

There are many reasons for the appeal of unfolding mechanics. Oftentimes each mechanic builds on top of the existing mechanics, increasing the complexity of the game in steps so the player can follow along. In fact, sometimes the older mechanics will be entirely phased out (e.g. by automating them), so the complexity of the game remains roughly equal throughout the game. In any case, adding new mechanics regularly provides a sense of mystery, with the player anticipating what will happen next. They shake up the gameplay before it gets too stale - allowing the game to entertain for longer before the sense of Guide to Incrementals/What is Content? dissipates. Of the canon games selected above, I would argue every single one contains unfolding to some degree.

I should take a moment to say that while I'm hyping up this specific factor, we cannot just reduce the genre definition to "does it introduce new mechanics over time". Many games have paradigm shifts that are not incremental, so it's just an indicator of incrementalness. Every single canon game may show that it's common amongst incremental games, but could just as easily indicate that they're common in games in general.

High-Value Factors ​

I won't take as long to discuss the high and low-value factors, as you've already seen most of them brought up earlier on this page. As a reminder, a game does NOT need all of these to be an incremental game, but these are factors that each indicate a strong possibility the game is an incremental, so having several of these means they probably are. These factors apply to most of the canon incremental games.

"Pure UI" Display. Incrementals typically have a data-driven interface of the game state - there isn't a visual representation of the entities within the game. The interface resembles what might be a control panel in another genre, with a focus on numbers, buttons, and readouts rather than animated sprites or scenes. Even when there are visual elements, like item icons or simple enemy images, the player's main interaction is with non-diegetic, UI-focused components rather than immersive game visuals.

Reduced Consequences. Incrementals tend to have reduced repurcussions for misplaying. They very rarely have fail states, where often the largest consequence is simply not progressing - never losing progress.

Optimization Problems. The predominant gameplay of incrementals is typically solving optimization problems, from deciding which purchase to save up for to reasoning and deciding between different mutually exclusive options the game presents.

Resource Management. Incrementals tend to have a lot of resources within the game to keep track of.

Low-Value Factors ​

These are low-value factors, meaning they aren't as strongly correlated with incremental games. Incremental games may have none of these, and non-incrementals may have several of these - if a game only has low-value factors, they're probably not an incremental.

Fast Numeric Growth. Numbers in incremental games tend to grow faster than in other genres. There are more instances of superlinear growth. The larger the numbers get, the stronger of a signal this factor is.

Automation. As an incremental game progresses, the player often no longer has to deal with earlier mechanics, by having them either happen automatically or otherwise be replaced with an alternative that requires less player interaction.

Goal-Oriented. Incrementals are often heavily reliant on extrinsic motivation to guide the player. Typically this is through some sort of in-game goal to work towards, such as a certain amount of a resource being required to unlock or purchase something new.

Waiting is a Mechanic. In incremental games, the player may come across times where there is no action they can take, and the game will progress automatically instead. The player must wait for some amount of this automatic progress to occur before they can resume interaction with the game.

Are Roguelites Incrementals? ​

Having made our variation of the Berlin Interpretation for incremental games, we can compare it to the Berlin Interpretation to determine if there's enough overlap that any game that "passes" the Berlin Interpretation would also pass the incremental variant. That is to say, whether any roguelite would also be considered an incremental game.

The meta-progression of an incremental game could arguably be considered a paradigm shift, and certainly adds some resource management. Goal-oriented would probably also apply. I think anything other than those would be a stretch, and in my opinion that just isn't enough to qualify. To be totally honest, I was never expecting to conclude otherwise though 😉

Sub-Genres ​

There are some trends in incremental games that go beyond just being a commonly used mechanic, such that they deeply affect the rest of the game design. To a degree each of the games in the canon could arguably be part of distinct sub-genres, but I think these 4 deserve specific mentions:

Loops games are a sub-genre defined by having a core mechanic related to a loop, where the player is deciding the actions taken per loop. Notable examples include Idle Loops, Stuck in Time, Cavernous II, and Increlution. You may also argue Groundhog Life and Progress Knight fall into this sub-genre.

ITRTG-like games are a sub-genre defined by having a core mechanic based on clearing increasingly difficult battles and often tend to have a lot of different mechanics to become progressively stronger. Notable examples include Idling to Rule the Gods, NGU Idle, and Wizard and Minion Idle.

Polynomial Growth games are a sub-genre defined by having a core mechanic related to a higher degree polynomial. Notable examples include the base layer of Antimatter Dimensions and Swarm Simulator.

Upgrades Games is a category popular on flash games websites that featured games focused on buying upgrades that would allow you to attain more currency in some sort of minigame that would earn you more money to buy more upgrades, which I'd argue now belong under the fold of incremental games. Notable examples include the Learn to Fly series and Upgrade Complete.

Cultivation RPGs are a genre of games, books, and anime popular in China that center around being in a fantasy world with characters getting stronger over time. While few of them get translated into English, a fan of incremental games may find the available games interesting.

This "now page" offers a big picture glimpse into what I’m focused on at this point in my life. What is a now page?

Digital Gardens ​

I'm building (at least) a mockup for Orchard, an app for message gardening into a Network of Knowledge.

Ultimately, I think this project could have some implications on how this digital garden operates, so I've decided to stop further indieweb integrations like webmentions for now. I'd like to see a server be able to bridge indieweb and agentic fediverse posts, and start using the agentic fediverse posts as my new source of truth.

Incremental Social ​

I'm running and improving the social media site Incremental Social, along with CardboardEmpress.

I'd like to make it host an iroh node for hosting agentic fediverse content, managing a keypair for each account (with options for migration).

Chromatic Lattice ​

I'm working on a multiplayer incremental game called Chromatic Lattice . It's still largely in the concept phase, and may even be built on the Agentic Fediverse.

Kronos ​

I'm working on a long single player narratively driven incremental game called Kronos . This is a very long-term project.

2.0 format changes ​

  • Temp format is changed from temp.something[layer] to temp[layer].something, for consistency
  • Challenges are now saved as an object with the amount of completions in each spot. (This will break saves.)
  • effectDisplay in Challenges and Upgrades no longer takes an argument, and neither does effect for Buyables
  • Buyable cost can take an argument for amount of buyables, but it needs to function if no argument is supplied (it should do the cost for the next purchase).
  • Generation of Points now happens in the main game loop (not in a layer update function), enabled by canGenPoints in game.js.
  • Changed fullLayerReset to layerDataReset, which takes an array of names of values to keep

In addition, many names were changed, mostly expanding abbreviations:

All instances of:

  • chall -> challenge
  • unl -> unlocked
  • upg -> upgrade (besides CSS)
  • amt -> amount
  • desc -> description
  • resCeil -> roundUpCost
  • order -> unlockOrder
  • incr_order -> increaseUnlockOrder

Challenges:

Look here for a tutorial on getting started with modding with TMT

You can look in the documentation for more information on how it all works, or look at the code in layers.js to see what it all looks like.

The-Modding-Tree ​

The main way to add content is through creating layers. You can either add a layer directly in the layers object in layersSupportjs, or declare it in another file and then do "addLayer(layername, layerdata)" (good for breaking things up into smaller files). The existing layers are just examples and can be freely deleted. You can also use them as references and a base for your own layers.

The first thing you need to do is to edit the modInfo at the top of game.js to set your modID (a string). A unique modId will prevent your mod's saves from conflicting with other mods.

Most of the time, you won't need to dive deep into the code to create things, but you still can if you really want to.

The Modding Tree uses break_eternity.js to store large values. This means that many numbers are Decimal objects, and must be treated differently. For example, you have to use new Decimal(x) to create a Decimal value instead of a plain number, and perform operations on them by calling functions. e.g, instead of x = x + y, use x = x.add(y).

Almost all values can be either a constant value, or a dynamic value. Dynamic values are defined by putting a function that returns what the value should be at any given time.

All display text can be basic HTML instead (But you can't use most Vue features there).

Table of Contents: ​

General: ​

  • Getting Started: Getting your own copy of the code set up with Github Desktop.
  • Main mod info: How to set up general things for your mod in mod.js.
  • Basic layer breakdown: Breaking down the components of a layer with minimal features.
  • Layer features: Explanations of all of the different properties that you can give a layer.
  • Custom Tab Layouts: An optional way to give your tabs a different layout. You can even create entirely new components to use.
  • Updating TMT: Using Github Desktop to update your mod's version of TMT.

Common components ​

  • Upgrades: How to create upgrades for a layer.
  • Milestones: How to create milestones for a layer.
  • Buyables: Create rebuyable upgrades for your layer (with the option to make them respec-able). Can be used to make Enhancers or Space Buildings.
  • Clickables: A more generalized variant of buyables, for any kind of thing that is sometimes clickable. Between these and Buyables, you can do just about anything.

Other components ​

  • Challenges: How to create challenges for a layer.
  • Bars: Display some information as a progress bar, gague, or similar. They are highly customizable, and can be horizontal and vertical as well.
  • Subtabs and Microtabs: Create subtabs for your tabs, as well as "microtab" components that you can put inside the tabs.
  • Achievements: How to create achievements for a layer (or for the whole game).
  • Infoboxes: Boxes containing text that can be shown or hidden.

You can either add a layer directly in the layers object in layersSupportjs, or declare it in another file and then do "addLayer(layername, layerdata)" (good for breaking things up into smaller files). The existing layers are just examples and can be freely deleted. You can also use them as references and a base for your own layers.

The first thing you need to do is to edit the modInfo at the top of game.js to set your modID (a string). A unique modId will prevent your mod's saves from conflicting with other mods.

Most of the time, you won't need to dive deep into the code to create things, but you still can if you really want to.

The Modding Tree uses break_eternity.js to store large values. This means that many numbers are Decimal objects, and must be treated differently. For example, you have to use new Decimal(x) to create a Decimal value instead of a plain number, and perform operations on them by calling functions. e.g, instead of x = x + y, use x = x.add(y).

Almost all values can be either a constant value, or a dynamic value. Dynamic values are defined by putting a function that returns what the value should be at any given time.

All display text can be basic HTML instead (But you can't use most Vue features there).

Table of Contents: ​

General: ​

  • Getting Started: Getting your own copy of the code set up with Github Desktop.
  • Main mod info: How to set up general things for your mod in mod.js.
  • Basic layer breakdown: Breaking down the components of a layer with minimal features.
  • Layer features: Explanations of all of the different properties that you can give a layer.
  • Custom Tab Layouts: An optional way to give your tabs a different layout. You can even create entirely new components to use.
  • Updating TMT: Using Github Desktop to update your mod's version of TMT.

Common components ​

  • Upgrades: How to create upgrades for a layer.
  • Milestones: How to create milestones for a layer.
  • Buyables: Create rebuyable upgrades for your layer (with the option to make them respec-able). Can be used to make Enhancers or Space Buildings.
  • Clickables: A more generalized variant of buyables, for any kind of thing that is sometimes clickable. Between these and Buyables, you can do just about anything.

Other components ​

  • Challenges: How to create challenges for a layer.
  • Bars: Display some information as a progress bar, gague, or similar. They are highly customizable, and can be horizontal and vertical as well.
  • Subtabs and Microtabs: Create subtabs for your tabs, as well as "microtab" components that you can put inside the tabs.
  • Achievements: How to create achievements for a layer (or for the whole game).
  • Infoboxes: Boxes containing text that can be shown or hidden.

Achievements ​

Achievements are awarded to the player when they meet a certain goal, and give some benefit. Currently, they are pretty basic, but additional features will be added later to help.

You can make global achievements by putting them in a side layer (make its row "side" instead of a number)

Useful functions for dealing with achievements and implementing their effects:

  • hasAchievement(layer, id): determine if the player has the Achievement
  • achievementEffect(layer, id): Returns the current effects of the achievement, if any

Clickables ​

Clickables are any kind of thing that you can click for an effect. They're a more generalized version of Buyables.

DO NOT USE THESE TO MAKE THINGS THAT YOU CLICK REPEATEDLY FOR A BONUS BECAUSE THOSE ARE AWFUL.

There are several differences between the two. One is that a buyable's saved data is its amount as a Decimal, while Clickables store a "state" which can be a number or string, but not Decimal, array, or object). Buyables have a number of extra features which you can see on their page. Clickables also have a smaller default size.

You can get and set a clickable's state with getClickableState(layer, id) and setClickableState(layer, id, state). You can use clickableEffect(layer, id) to get the current effects of a clickable.

Custom tab layouts ​

Note: If you are using subtabs, tabFormat is used differently, but you still use the same format within each subtabs. See here for more on subtabs

Custom tab layouts can be used to do basically anything in a tab window, especially combined with the "style" layer feature. The tabFormat feature is an array of things, like this:

Getting started ​

Welcome to The Modding Tree!

Using the Modding Tree, at its simplest level, just requires getting a copy of it onto your computer. However, if you do it the right way, it will help in many ways.

Don't let the word "Github" scare you away. It's actually much easier to use than most people think, especially because most people use it the hard way. The key is Github Desktop, which lets you do everything you need to, without even touching the command line.

The benefits of using Github:

  • It makes it much, much easier to update The Modding Tree.
  • You can share your work without any extra effort using githack, or with a bit more effort, set up a github.io site.
  • It lets you undo changes to your code, and to have multiple versions of it.
  • It lets you collaborate with other people, if you want to.

Getting set up with Github and The Modding Tree: ​

  1. Install Github Desktop and Visual Studio Code.

  2. Make a Github account. You can handle this on your own.

  3. Log in on your browser, and go back to The Modding Tree page. At the top right, there should be a button that says "fork". Click on it, and then on your username. You now have your own fork, or copy, of The Modding Tree.

  4. Open Github Desktop and log in. Ignore everything else and choose "clone a repository". A "repository" is basically a "Github project", like The Modding Tree. "Cloning" is downloading a copy of the repository to your computer.

  5. Look for The Modding Tree in the list of repositiories (it should be the only one) and click "clone".

  6. Select that you're using it for your own purposes, and click continue. It will download the files and handle everything.

Using your repository ​

  1. Click on "show in finder" to the right, and then open index.html. This will let you view and test your project!

  2. To edit your project, click "open in VSCode" in Github Desktop.

  3. Open mod.js in VSCode, and look at the top part where it says "modInfo". On the lines below that, change the mod's name to whatever you want, and change the id as well. (It can be any string value, and it's used to determine where the savefile is. Make it something that's probably unique, and don't change it again later.)

  4. Save game.js, and then reload index.html. The title on the tab, as well as on the info page, will now be the new ones!

  5. Go back to Github Desktop. It's time to save your changes into the git system by making a "commit".

  6. At the bottom right corner, add a summary of your changes, and then click "commit to master".

  7. Finally, at the top middle, click "push origin" to push your changes out onto the online repository.

  8. You can view your project on line, or share it with others, by going to https://raw.githack.com/[YOUR-GITHUB-USERNAME]/The-Modding-Tree/master/index.html

And now, you have successfully used Github! You can look at the documentation to see how The Modding Tree's system works and to make your mod a reality.

Layer Features ​

This is a more comprehensive list of established features to add to layers. You can add more freely, if you want to have other functions or values associated with your layer. These have special functionality, though.

You can make almost any value dynamic by using a function in its place, including all display strings and styling/color features.

Key:

  • No label: This is required and the game will crash if it isn't included.
  • sometimes required: This is may be required, depending on other things in the layer.
  • optional: You can leave this out if you don't intend to use that feature for the layer.

Layer Definition features ​

  • layer: Assigned automagically. It's the same value as the name of this layer, so you can do player[this.layer].points or similar to access the save value. It makes copying code to new layers easier. It is also assigned to all upgrades and buyables and such.

  • name: Optional, used in reset confirmations (and maybe other places). If absent, it just uses the layer's id.

  • startData(): A function to return the default save data for this layer. Add any variables you have to it. Any nonstandard Decimal variables need to be added to convertToDecimal as well. Standard values: Required: unlocked: a bool determining if this layer is unlocked or not points: a Decimal, the main currency for the layer Optional: total: A Decimal, tracks total amount of main prestige currency best: A Decimal, tracks highest amount of main prestige currency unlockOrder: used to keep track of relevant layers unlocked before this one.

  • color: A color associated with this layer, used in many places. (A string in hex format with a #)

  • row: The row of the layer, starting at 0. This affects where the node appears on the tree, and which resets affect the layer.

     Using "side" instead of a number will cause the layer to appear off to the side as a smaller node (useful for achievements

    • resource: Name of the main currency you gain by resetting on this layer.
    • effect(): optional, A function that calculates and returns the current values of any bonuses inherent to the main currency. Can return a value or an object containing multiple values. You will also have to implement the effect where it is applied.
    • effectDescription: optional, A function that returns a description of this effect. If the text stays constant, it can just be a string.
    • layerShown(): A function returning a bool which determines if this layer's node should be visible on the tree. It can also return "ghost", which will hide the layer, but its node will still take up space in the tree.
    • hotkeys: optional, An array containing information on any hotkeys associated with this layer:

    • update(diff): optional, this function is called every game tick. Use it for any passive resource production or time-based things. diff is the time since the last tick. Suggestion: use addPoints(layer, gain) when generating points to automatically update the best and total amounts.
    • automate(): optional, this function is called every game tick, after production. Use it to activate any autobuyers or auto-resets or similar on this layer, if appropriate.
    • resetsNothing: optional, returns true if this layer shouldn't trigger any resets when you prestige.
    • increaseUnlockOrder: optional, an array of layer ids. When this layer is unlocked for the first time, the unlockOrder value for any not-yet-unlocked layers in this list increases. This can be used to make them harder to unlock.
    • shouldNotify: optional, a function to return true if this layer should be highlighted in the tree. The layer will automatically be highlighted if you can buy an upgrade whether you have this or not.
    • componentStyles: optional, An object that contains a set of functions returning CSS objects. Each of these will be applied to any components on the layer with the type of its id. Example:

mod.js ​

All of the code and data that you're likely to edit is here in mod.js! Everything in mod.js will not be altered by updates, besides the addition of new things.

Here's a breakdown of what's in it:

  • modInfo is where most of the basic configuration for the mod is. It contains:

    • name: The name of your mod. (a string)
    • id: The id for your mod, a unique string that is used to determine savefile location. Setting it is important!
    • author: The name of the author, displayed in the info tab.
    • pointsName: This changes what is displayed instead of "points" for the main currency. (It does not affect it in the code.)
    • discordName, discordLink: If you have a Discord server or other discussion place, you can add a link to it. "discordName" is the text on the link, and "discordLink" is the url of an invite. If you're using a Discord invite, please make sure it's set to never expire.
    • changelogLink: You can use this to set a link to a page where your changelog for the game is displayed.
    • offlineLimit: The maximum amount of offline time that the player can accumulate, in hours. Any extra time is lost. (a number) This is useful because most of these mods are fast-paced enough that too much offline time ruins the balance, such as the time in between updates. That is why I suggest developers disable offline time on their own savefile.
    • initialStartPoints: A Decimal for the amount of points a new player should start with.

  • VERSION is used to describe the current version of your mod. It contains: num: The mod's version number, displayed at the top right of the tree tab. name: The version's name, displayed alongside the number in the info tab.

  • doNotCallTheseFunctionsEveryTick is very important. TMT calls every function anywhere in "layers" every tick to store the result, unless specifically told not to. Functions that have are used to do an action need to be identified. "Official" functions (those in the documentation) are all fine, but if you make any new ones, add their names to this array.

    • offlineLimit: The maximum amount of offline time that the player can accumulate, in hours. Any extra time is lost. (a number) This is useful because most of these mods are fast-paced enough that too much offline time ruins the balance, such as the time in between updates. That is why I suggest developers disable offline time on their own savefile.
    • initialStartPoints: A Decimal for the amount of points a new player should start with.
  • VERSION is used to describe the current version of your mod. It contains: num: The mod's version number, displayed at the top right of the tree tab. name: The version's name, displayed alongside the number in the info tab.
  • doNotCallTheseFunctionsEveryTick is very important. TMT calls every function anywhere in "layers" every tick to store the result, unless specifically told not to. Functions that have are used to do an action need to be identified. "Official" functions (those in the documentation) are all fine, but if you make any new ones, add their names to this array.
js
// (The ones here are examples, all official functions are already taken care of)
 var doNotCallTheseFunctionsEveryTick = ["doReset", "buy", "onPurchase", "blowUpEverything"]
  • getStartPoints(): A function to determine the amount of points the player starts with after a reset. (returns a Decimal value)
  • canGenPoints(): A function returning a boolean for if points should be generated. Use this if you want an upgrade to unlock generating points.
  • getPointGen(): A function that calculates your points per second. Anything that affects your point gain should go into the calculation here.
  • addedPlayerData(): A function that returns any non-layer-related data that you want to be added to the save data and "player" object.
js
function addedPlayerData() { return {
 	weather: "Yes",
 	happiness: new Decimal(72),
-}}
  • displayThings: An array of functions used to display extra things at the top of the tree tab. Each function returns a string, which is a line to display (with basic HTML support). If a function returns nothing, nothing is displayed (and it doesn't take up a line).
  • isEndgame(): A function to determine if the player has reached the end of the game, at which point the "you win!" screen appears.
Less important things beyond this point!
  • maxTickLength(): Returns the maximum tick length, in milliseconds. Only really useful if you have something that reduces over time, which long ticks mess up (usually a challenge).

You can use hasMilestone(layer, id) to determine if the player has a given milestone
Milestone features:
  • requirementDesc: A string describing the requirement for unlocking this milestone. Suggestion: Use a "total". It can also be a function that returns updating text. Can use basic HTML.
  • effectDesc: A string describing the reward for having the milestone. You will have to implement the reward elsewhere. It can also be a function that returns updating text. Can use basic HTML.
  • done(): A function returning a boolean to determine if the milestone should be awarded.
  • toggles: optional, Creates toggle buttons that appear on the milestone when it is unlocked. The toggles can toggle a given boolean value in a layer. It is defined as an array of paired items, one pair per toggle. The first is the internal name of the layer the value being toggled is stored in, and the second is the internal name of the variable to toggle. (e.g. [["b", "auto"], ["g", "auto"])
         **Tip:** Toggles are not de-set if the milestone becomes locked! In this case, you should also check if the player has the milestone.
-
  • style: Optional, Applies CSS to this milestone, in the form of an object where the keys are CSS attributes, and the values are the values for those attributes (both as strings)
  • unlocked(): Optional A function returning a boolean to determine if the milestone should be shown. If absent, it is always shown.
  • layer: Assigned automagically. It's the same value as the name of this layer, so you can do player[this.layer].points or similar
  • id: Assigned automagically. It's the "key" which the milestone was stored under, for convenient access. The milestone in the example's id is 0.

    This tutorial assumes that you have used the Getting Started Tutorial, and are using Github Desktop and VSCode for your mod.

    Here's what you have to do when there's a TMT update:

    1. Look at the changelog. It will warn you if the update will break anything or require any changes. Decide if you want to try to update.

    2. Open Github Desktop, and at the top middle, click "fetch origin". This will make Github Desktop get information about the update.

    3. Click where it says "current branch: master" at the top middle, and at the bottom of the thing that appears, click "choose a branch to merge into master.

    4. Select upstream/master. It will likely say there are conflicts, but you have tools to resolve them. Click "Merge upstream/master into master".

    5. A conflict happens when the things you're trying to merge have both made changes in the same place. Click "open in Visual Studio Code" next to the first file.

    6. Scroll down through the file, and look for the parts highlighted in red and green. One of these is your code, and the other is some code that will be modified by the update. Do your best to try to edit things to keep the updated changes, but keep your content.

    7. Continue to do this for all remaining challenges.

    8. Do any other changes required by the update, run the game, fix issues, etc.

    v2.5.7 - 5/15/21 ​

    • Added a particle system! Not only can it be used for visual effects, but particles can interact with the mouse. They could be used to create golden cookies or collectables, for example.
    • Added marked feature to buyables, clickables, and challenges. By default, stars multi-completion challenges when maxed.
    • Added 'deactivated' feature to layers, which disables many features.
    • Improved number formatting slightly.

    • Fixed commas appearing in decimal places (thanks to pg132!)

    v2.5.5.1 - 5/12/21 ​

    • Fixed clickables.

    v2.5.5 - 5/12/21 ​

    • Added grids! They are a grid of buttons which behave the same, but have their own data. Good for inventory grids, map tiles, and more!

    • Added "layer-proxy" component that lets you use components from another layer.
    • Added the ability to display non-whole numbers in main-display.

    v2.5.4 - 5/10/21 ​

    • Added a setting to always use single-tab mode.
    • Added directMult, which multiplies prestige gain after exponents and softcaps. It actually multiplies gain for static layers.
    • Added onEnter and onExit for challenges.
    • Improved displaying numbers between 0.0001 and 0.1.
    • Added documentation on how gainMult/Exp work for static layers.
    • Fixed a visual issue on mobile, thanks to thepaperpilot.
    • Improved documentation in general.

    v2.5.3 - 5/8/21 ​

    • Improved performance of tab formats and bars.
    • Respec confirmation settings are now kept on resets.
    • Improved compatibility with older browsers.
    • Fixed missing pixel on vertical bars.

    v2.5.2.1 - 5/7/21 ​

    • Optimizations, hopefully a significant amount.
    • Added OOM/s point gen display at high values (thanks to Ducdat!)
    • Only one tab will display if the window is not wide enough (also thanks to Ducdat!)
    • Holding down a buyable's button now buys it continuously.
    • New milestone setting will also show the most recently unlocked milestone. (Also renamed all settings to be clearer)
    • Added an onHold feature for clickables.
    • Layer nodes will be highlighted even if the player is on the same tab.
    • Added customizable node glowColor.
    • Added buyable purchaseLimit.
    • Amount is automatically supplied to buyable cost and effect functions.
    • Locked (not yet visible) milestones no longer take up space. Also fixed hidden milestones taking a tiny bit of space.
    • Re-centered respec buttons.
    • Force-displayed tooltips are not hidden by resets.
    • Added formatting support for very small numbers. Disabled in most places by default because rounding errors might cause issues. Access it with formatSmall, or enable it globally by adding "allowSmall: true" to modInfo.

    • The respec confirmation checkbox is now part of the respec-button component. (This also fixes the checkbox appearing when there is no respec button)
    • Added a few undocumented changes to the 2.4 changelog (the two at the bottom)

    v2.4: Rationalized Edition - 4/29/21 ​

    The-Modding-Tree ​

    Making a game in The Modding Tree mostly involves defining parameters or functions on objects. If you aren't following the getting started guide, you should start by setting up your basic mod info in mod.js. It's important to set a mod id to ensure saving works properly.

    Beyond that, the main way to add content is through creating layers, often in layers.js. You can add new layers by calling addLayer(layername, layerdata). There is an example of a basic layer in layers.js showing the recommended method. It is just an example and can be freely deleted. You can also use it as a reference or a base for your own layers.

    Most of the time, you won't need to dive deep into the code to create things, but you still can if you really want to, for example to add new Vue components in components.js.

    The Modding Tree uses break_eternity.js to store large values. This means that many numbers are Decimal objects, and must be treated differently. For example, you have to use new Decimal(x) to create a Decimal value instead of a plain number, and perform operations on them by calling functions. e.g, instead of x = x + y, use x = x.add(y). Keep in mind this also applies to comparison operators, which should be replaced with calling the .gt, .gte, .lt, .lte, .eq, and .neq functions. See the break_eternity.js docs for more details on working with Decimal values.

    Almost all values can be either a constant value, or a dynamic value. Dynamic values are defined by putting a function that returns what the value should be at any given time.

    All display text can use basic HTML elements (But you can't use most Vue features there).

    While reading this documentation, the following key will be used when describing features:

    • No label: This is required and the game may crash if it isn't included.
    • sometimes required: This is may be required, depending on other things in the layer.
    • optional: You can leave this out if you don't intend to use that feature for the layer.
    • assigned automagically: This value will be set automatically and override any value you set.
    • deprecated: This feature is not recommended to be used, because newer features are able to achieve the same thing in a better, easier way.

    Achievements ​

    Achievements are awarded to the player when they meet a certain goal, and optionally give some benefit.

    You can make global achievements by putting them in a side layer by making its row equal to "side" instead of a number.

    Useful functions for dealing with achievements and implementing their effects:

    • hasAchievement(layer, id): determine if the player has the Achievement.
    • achievementEffect(layer, id): Returns the current effects of the achievement, if any.

    Buyables ​

    Buyables are usually things that can be bought multiple times with scaling costs. They come with optional buttons that can be used for respeccing or selling buyables, among other things.

    The amount of a buyable owned is a Decimal.

    Useful functions for dealing with buyables and implementing their effects:

    • getBuyableAmount(layer, id): get the amount of the buyable the player has
    • setBuyableAmount(layer, id, amount): set the amount of the buyable the player has
    • buyableEffect(layer, id): Returns the current effects of the buyable, if any.

    • effect(): optional. A function that calculates and returns the current values of bonuses of this buyable. Can have an optional argument "x" to calculate the effect of having x of the buyable.. Can return a value or an object containing multiple values.
    • display(): A function returning everything that should be displayed on the buyable after the title, likely including the description, amount bought, cost, and current effect. Can use basic HTML.
    • unlocked(): optional. A function returning a bool to determine if the buyable is visible or not. Default is unlocked.
    • canAfford(): A function returning a bool to determine if you can buy one of the buyables.
    • buy(): A function that implements buying one of the buyable, including spending the currency.
    • buyMax(): optional. A function that implements buying as many of the buyable as possible.
    • style: optional. Applies CSS to this buyable, in the form of an object where the keys are CSS attributes, and the values are the values for those attributes (both as strings).
    • purchaseLimit: optional. The limit on how many of the buyable can be bought. The default is no limit.
    • marked: optional Adds a mark to the corner of the buyable. If it's "true" it will be a star, but it can also be an image URL.

    Clickables are any kind of thing that you can click for an effect. They're a more generalized version of Buyables.

    DO NOT USE THESE TO MAKE THINGS THAT YOU CLICK REPEATEDLY FOR A BONUS BECAUSE THOSE ARE AWFUL.

    There are several differences between the two. One is that a buyable's saved data is its amount as a Decimal, while Clickables store a "state" which can be a number or string, but not Decimal, array, or object). Buyables have a number of extra features which you can see on their page. Clickables also have a smaller default size.

    It is a list of components, which can be either just a name, or an array with arguments. If it's an array, the first item is the name of the component, the second is the data passed into it, and the third (optional) applies a CSS style to it with a "CSS object", where the keys are CSS attributes.
    These are the existing components, but you can create more in components.js:
    • display-text: Displays some text (can use basic HTML). The argument is the text to display. It can also be a function that returns updating text.
    • raw-html: Displays some basic HTML, can also be a function.
    • blank: Adds empty space. The default dimensions are 8px x 17px. The argument changes the dimensions. If it's a single value (e.g. "20px"), that determines the height. If you have a pair of arguments, the first is width and the second is height.
    • row: Display a list of components horizontally. The argument is an array of components in the tab layout format.
    • column: Display a list of components vertically. The argument is an array of components in the tab layout format. This is useful to display columns within a row.
    • main-display: The text that displays the main currency for the layer and its effects. The argument is the amount of precision to use, allowing it to display non-whole numbers.
    • resource-display: The text that displays the currency that this layer is based on, as well as the best and/or total values for this layer's prestige currency (if they are put in startData for this layer).
    • prestige-button: The argument is a string that the prestige button should say before the amount of currency you will gain. It can also be a function that returns updating text.
    • text-input: A text input box. The argument is the name of the variable in player[layer] that the input is for, player[layer][argument] (Works with strings, numbers, and Decimals!)
    • slider: Lets the user input a value with a slider. The argument a 3-element array: [name, min, max]. The name is the name of the variable in player[layer] that the input that the input is for, and min and max are the limits of the slider. (Does not work for Decimal values)
    • upgrades: The layer's upgrades. The argument is optional, and is a the list of rows this component should include, if it doesn't have all of them.
    • milestones, challenges, achievements: Display the upgrades, milestones, and challenges for a layer, as appropriate.
    • buyables, clickables: Display all of the buyables/clickables for this layer, as appropriate. The argument is optional and is the size of the boxes in pixels.

    It is a list of components, which can be either just a name, or an array with arguments. If it's an array, the first item is the name of the component, the second is the data passed into it, and the third (optional) applies a CSS style to it with a "CSS object", where the keys are CSS attributes.

    These are the existing components, but you can create more in components.js:

    Getting started ​

    Welcome to The Modding Tree!

    Using the Modding Tree, at its simplest level, just requires getting a copy of it onto your computer. However, if you do it the right way, it will help in many ways.

    Don't let the word "Github" scare you away. It's actually much easier to use than most people think, especially because most people use it the hard way. The key is Github Desktop, which lets you do everything you need to, without even touching the command line.

    The benefits of using Github:

    • It makes it much, much easier to update The Modding Tree.
    • You can share your work without any extra effort using githack, or with a bit more effort, set up a github.io site.
    • It lets you undo changes to your code, and to have multiple versions of it.
    • It lets you collaborate with other people, if you want to.

    Getting set up with Github Desktop, Visual Studio Code, and The Modding Tree: ​

    1. Install Github Desktop and Visual Studio Code.

    2. Make a Github account. You can handle this on your own.

    3. Log in on your browser, and go back to The Modding Tree page. At the top right, there should be a button that says "fork". Click on it, and then on your username. You now have your own fork, or copy, of The Modding Tree.

    4. Open Github Desktop and log in. Ignore everything else and choose "clone a repository". A "repository" is basically a "Github project", like The Modding Tree. "Cloning" is downloading a copy of the repository to your computer.

    5. Look for The Modding Tree in the list of repositiories (it should be the only one) and click "clone".

    6. Select that you're using it for your own purposes, and click continue. It will download the files and handle everything.

    Using your repository ​

    1. Click on "show in explorer/finder" to the right, and then open the index.html file in the folder. The page should open up on your browser. This will let you view and test your project locally!

    2. To edit your project, click "open in VSCode" in Github Desktop.

    3. Open mod.js in VSCode, and look at the top part where it has a "modInfo" object. Fill in your mod's name to whatever you want, and change the id as well. (It can be any string value, and it's used to determine where the savefile is. Make it something that's probably unique, and don't change it again later or else it'll effectively wipe existing saves)

    4. Save mod.js, and then reload index.html in your browser. The title on the tab, as well as on the info page, will now be updated! You can reload the page every time you change the code to test it quickly and easily.

    5. Go back to Github Desktop. It's time to save your changes into the git system by making a "commit". This basically saves your work and creates a snapshot of what your code looks like at this moment, allowing you to look back at it later.

    6. At the bottom right corner, add a summary of your changes, and then click "commit to master".

    7. Finally, at the top middle, click "push origin" to push your changes out onto the online repository.

    8. You can view your project on line, or share it with others, by going to https://raw.githack.com/[YOUR-GITHUB-USERNAME]/The-Modding-Tree/master/index.html

    And now, you have successfully used Github! You can look at the documentation to see how The Modding Tree's system works and to make your mod a reality.

    Grids ​

    Grids are an easier way of making a group of similar clickables. They all have the same behavior, but are different based on their data.

    NOTE: Gridables are similar to clickables in some respects, but are fundamentally different from normal TMT components in quite a few ways. Be sure to keep these in mind:

    • Gridable ids use base 100 instead of base 10, so you can have more than 10 tiles in a row. This means that a grid might look like this: 101 102 201 202
    • Individual gridables are not defined individually. All properties go directly into the "grid" object. Functions are called with arguments for the id of the gridables and its associated data, so you can give them the appropriate appearance and properties based on that.
    • If you need two unrelated grids in a layer, you'll need to use a layer proxy component.

    Useful functions for dealing with grids:

    • getGridData(layer, id): get the data for the chosen gridable
    • setGridData(layer, id, state): set the data for the chosen gridable
    • gridEffect(layer, id): get the effect for the chosen gridable

    Layer Features ​

    This is a more comprehensive list of established features to add to layers. You can add more freely, if you want to have other functions or values associated with your layer. These have special functionality, though.

    You can make almost any value dynamic by using a function in its place, including all display strings and styling/color features.

    Layer Definition features ​

    • layer: assigned automagically. It's the same value as the name of this layer, so you can do player[this.layer].points or similar to access the saved value. It makes copying code to new layers easier. It is also assigned to all upgrades and buyables and such.

    • name: optional. used in reset confirmations (and the default infobox title). If absent, it just uses the layer's id.

    • startData(): A function to return the default save data for this layer. Add any variables you have to it. Make sure to use Decimal values rather than normal numbers.

      Standard values: - Required: - unlocked: a bool determining if this layer is unlocked or not - points: a Decimal, the main currency for the layer - Optional: - total: A Decimal, tracks total amount of main prestige currency. Always tracked, but only shown if you add it here. - best: A Decimal, tracks highest amount of main prestige currency. Always tracked, but only shown if you add it here. - unlockOrder: used to keep track of relevant layers unlocked before this one. - resetTime: A number, time since this layer was last prestiged (or reset by another layer)

    • color: A color associated with this layer, used in many places. (A string in hex format with a #)

    • row: The row of the layer, starting at 0. This affects where the node appears on the standard tree, and which resets affect the layer.

      Using "side" instead of a number will cause the layer to appear off to the side as a smaller node (useful for achievements and statistics). Side layers are not affected by resets unless you add a doReset to them.

    • displayRow: OVERRIDE Changes where the layer node appears without changing where it is in the reset order.

    • resource: Name of the main currency you gain by resetting on this layer.

    • effect(): optional. A function that calculates and returns the current values of any bonuses inherent to the main currency. Can return a value or an object containing multiple values. You will also have to implement the effect where it is applied.

    • effectDescription: optional. A function that returns a description of this effect. If the text stays constant, it can just be a string.

    • layerShown(): optional, A function returning a bool which determines if this layer's node should be visible on the tree. It can also return "ghost", which will hide the layer, but its node will still take up space in the tree. Defaults to true.

    • hotkeys: optional. An array containing information on any hotkeys associated with this layer:

      • effectDescription: optional. A function that returns a description of this effect. If the text stays constant, it can just be a string.
      • layerShown(): optional, A function returning a bool which determines if this layer's node should be visible on the tree. It can also return "ghost", which will hide the layer, but its node will still take up space in the tree. Defaults to true.
      • hotkeys: optional. An array containing information on any hotkeys associated with this layer:
        js
        hotkeys: [
     {
         key: "p", // What the hotkey button is. Use uppercase if it's combined with shift, or "ctrl+x" for holding down ctrl.
         description: "p: reset your points for prestige points", // The description of the hotkey that is displayed in the game's How To Play tab

 ]
      • style: optional. a "CSS object" where the keys are CSS attributes, containing any CSS that should affect this layer's entire tab.
      • tabFormat: optional. use this if you want to add extra things to your tab or change the layout. See here for more info.
      • midsection: optional, an alternative to tabFormat, which is inserted in between Milestones and Buyables in the standard tab layout. (cannot do subtabs)
      Big features (all optional) ​
      • upgrades: A set of one-time purchases which can have unique upgrade conditions, currency costs, and bonuses. See here for more info.
      • milestones: A list of bonuses gained upon reaching certain thresholds of a resource. Often used for automation/QOL. See here for more info.
      • challenges: The player can enter challenges, which make the game harder. If they reach a goal and beat the challenge, they recieve a bonus. See here for more info.
      • buyables: Effectively upgrades that can be bought multiple times, and are optionally respeccable. Many uses. See here for more info.
      • clickables: Extremely versatile and generalized buttons which can only be clicked sometimes. See here for more info.
      • microtabs: An area that functions like a set of subtabs, with buttons at the top changing the content within. (Advanced) See here for more info.
      • bars: Display some information as a progress bar, gague, or similar. They are highly customizable, and can be vertical as well. See here for more info.
      • achievements: Kind of like milestones, but with a different display style and some other differences. Extra features are on the way at a later date! See here for more info.
      • achievementPopups, milestonePopups: optional, If false, disables popup message when you get the achievement/milestone. True by default.
      • infoboxes: Displays some text in a box that can be shown or hidden. See here for more info.
      • grid: A grid of buttons that behave the same, but have their own data.See here for more info.
      Prestige formula features ​
      • type: optional. Determines which prestige formula you use. Defaults to "none".
        • "normal": The amount of currency you gain is independent of its current amount (like Prestige). The formula before bonuses is based on baseResource^exponent
        • "static": The cost is dependent on your total after reset. The formula before bonuses is based on base^(x^exponent)
        • "custom": You can define everything, from the calculations to the text on the button, yourself. (See more at the bottom)
        • "none": This layer does not prestige, and therefore does not need any of the other features in this section.
      • baseResource: The name of the resource that determines how much of the main currency you gain on reset.
      • baseAmount(): A function that gets the current value of the base resource.
      • requires: A Decimal, the amount of the base needed to gain 1 of the prestige currency. Also the amount required to unlock the layer. You can instead make this a function, to make it harder if another layer was unlocked first (based on unlockOrder).
      • exponent: Used as described above.
      • base: sometimes required. required for "static" layers, used as described above. If absent, defaults to 2. Must be greater than 1.
      • roundUpCost: optional. a bool, which is true if the resource cost needs to be rounded up. (use if the base resource is a "static" currency.)
      • gainMult(), gainExp(): optional. For normal layers, these functions calculate the multiplier and exponent on resource gain from upgrades and boosts and such. Plug in most bonuses here. For static layers, they instead divide and root the cost of the resource.
      • directMult(): optional. Directly multiplies the resource gain, after exponents and softcaps. For static layers, actually multiplies resource gain instead of reducing the cost.
      • softcap, softcapPower: optional. For normal layers, gain beyond [softcap] points is put to the [softcapPower]th power Default for softcap is e1e7, and for power is 0.5.
      • canBuyMax(): sometimes required. required for static layers, function used to determine if buying max is permitted.
      • onPrestige(gain): optional. A function that triggers when this layer prestiges, just before you gain the currency. Can be used to have secondary resource gain on prestige, or to recalculate things or whatnot.
      • resetDescription: optional. Use this to replace "Reset for " on the Prestige button with something else.
      • prestigeButtonText(): sometimes required. Use this to make the entirety of the text a Prestige button contains. Only required for custom layers, but usable by all types.
      • passiveGeneration(): optional, returns a regular number. You automatically generate your gain times this number every second (does nothing if absent) This is good for automating Normal layers.
      • autoPrestige(): optional, returns a boolean, if true, the layer will always automatically do a prestige if it can. This is good for automating Static layers.
      Tree/node features ​
      • symbol: optional. The text that appears on this layer's node. Default is the layer id with the first letter capitalized.
      • image: override. The url (local or global) of an image that goes on the node. (Overrides symbol)
      • position: optional. Determines the horizontal position of the layer in its row in a standard tree. By default, it uses the layer id, and layers are sorted in alphabetical order.
      • branches: optional. An array of layer/node ids. On a tree, a line will appear from this layer to all of the layers in the list. Alternatively, an entry in the array can be a 2-element array consisting of the layer id and a color value. The color value can either be a string with a hex color code, or a number from 1-3 (theme-affected colors).
      • nodeStyle: optional. A CSS object, where the keys are CSS attributes, which styles this layer's node on the tree.
      • tooltip() / tooltipLocked(): optional. Functions that return text, which is the tooltip for the node when the layer is unlocked or locked, respectively. By default the tooltips behave the same as in the original Prestige Tree. If the value is "", the tooltip will be disabled.
      • marked: optional Adds a mark to the corner of the node. If it's "true" it will be a star, but it can also be an image URL.
      Other features ​
      • doReset(resettingLayer): optional. Is triggered when a layer on a row greater than or equal to this one does a reset. The default behavior is to reset everything on the row, but only if it was triggered by a layer in a higher row. doReset is always called for side layers, but for these the default behavior is to reset nothing.
        If you want to keep things, determine what to keep based on resettingLayer, milestones, and such, then call layerDataReset(layer, keep), where layer is this layer, and keep is an array of the names of things to keep. It can include things like "points", "best", "total" (for this layer's prestige currency), "upgrades", any unique variables like "generatorPower", etc. If you want to only keep specific upgrades or something like that, save them in a separate variable, then call layerDataReset, and then set player[this.layer].upgrades to the saved upgrades.
      • update(diff): optional. This function is called every game tick. Use it for any passive resource production or time-based things. diff is the time since the last tick.
      • autoUpgrade: optional, a boolean value, if true, the game will attempt to buy this layer's upgrades every tick. Defaults to false.
      • automate(): optional. This function is called every game tick, after production. Use it to activate automation things that aren't otherwise supported.
      • resetsNothing: optional. Returns true if this layer shouldn't trigger any resets when you prestige.
      • increaseUnlockOrder: optional. An array of layer ids. When this layer is unlocked for the first time, the unlockOrder value for any not-yet-unlocked layers in this list increases. This can be used to make them harder to unlock.
      • shouldNotify: optional. A function to return true if this layer should be highlighted in the tree. The layer will automatically be highlighted if you can buy an upgrade whether you have this or not.
      • glowColor: optional. The color that this layer will be highlighted if it should notify. The default is red. You can use this if you want several different notification types!
      • componentStyles: optional. An object that contains a set of functions returning CSS objects. Each of these will be applied to any components on the layer with the type of its id. Example:
      js
      componentStyles: {
     "challenge"() { return {'height': '200px'} },
     "prestige-button"() { return {'color': '#AA66AA'} }
-}
      • deactivated: optional, if this is true, hasUpgrade, hasChallenge, hasAchievement, and hasMilestone will return false for things in the layer, and you will be unable to buy or click things on the layer. You will have to disable effects of buyables, the innate layer effect, and possibly other things yourself.
      Custom Prestige type ​
      (All of these can also be used by other prestige types)
      • getResetGain(): mostly for custom prestige type. Returns how many points you should get if you reset now. You can call getResetGain(this.layer, useType = "static") or similar to calculate what your gain would be under another prestige type (provided you have all of the required features in the layer).
      • getNextAt(canMax=false): mostly for custom prestige type. Returns how many of the base currency you need to get to the next point. canMax is an optional variable used with Static-ish layers to differentiate between if it's looking for the first point you can reset at, or the requirement for any gain at all (Supporting both is good). You can also call getNextAt(this.layer, canMax=false, useType = "static") or similar to calculate what your next at would be under another prestige type (provided you have all of the required features in the layer).
      • canReset(): mostly for custom prestige type. Return true only if you have the resources required to do a prestige here.
      • prestigeNotify(): mostly for custom prestige types, returns true if this layer should be subtly highlighted to indicate you can prestige for a meaningful gain.

    mod.js ​

    Most of the non-layer code and data that you're likely to edit is here in mod.js. Everything in mod.js will not be altered by updates, besides the addition of new things.

    Here's a breakdown of what's in it:

    • modInfo is where most of the basic configuration for the mod is. It contains:

      • name: The name of your mod. (a string)

      • id: The id for your mod, a unique string that is used to determine savefile location. Be sure to set it when you start making a mod, and don't change it later because it will erase all saves.

      • author: The name of the author, displayed in the info tab.

      • pointsName: This changes what is displayed instead of "points" for the main currency. (It does not affect it in the code.)

      • discordName, discordLink: If you have a Discord server or other discussion place, you can add a link to it.

        "discordName" is the text on the link, and "discordLink" is the url of an invite. If you're using a Discord invite, please make sure it's set to never expire.

      • offlineLimit: The maximum amount of offline time that the player can accumulate, in hours. Any extra time is lost. (a number)

        This is useful because most of these mods are fast-paced enough that too much offline time ruins the balance, such as the time in between updates. That is why I suggest developers disable offline time on their own savefile.

      • initialStartPoints: A Decimal for the amount of points a new player should start with.

    • VERSION is used to describe the current version of your mod. It contains:

      • num: The mod's version number, displayed at the top right of the tree tab.
      • name: The version's name, displayed alongside the number in the info tab.

    • changelog is the HTML displayed in the changelog tab. If this gets particularly long, it might be good to put in a separate file (be sure to add the file to index.html)

    • doNotCallTheseFunctionsEveryTick is very important, if you are adding non-standard functions. TMT calls every function anywhere in "layers" every tick to store the result, unless specifically told not to. Functions that have are used to do an action need to be identified. "Official" functions (those in the documentation) are all fine, but if you make any new ones, add their names to this array.

    • getStartPoints(): A function to determine the amount of points the player starts with after a reset. (returns a Decimal value)
    • canGenPoints(): A function returning a boolean for if points should be generated. Use this if you want an upgrade to unlock generating points.
    • getPointGen(): A function that calculates your points per second. Anything that affects your point gain should go into the calculation here.
    • addedPlayerData(): A function that returns any non-layer-related data that you want to be added to the save data and "player" object.
    js
    function addedPlayerData() { return {
 	weather: "Yes",
 	happiness: new Decimal(72),
-}}

    Features can be functions or constant. These features will be called when each particle is made, with an id argument, which is assigned based on which of the amount particles being spawned this is. All of these are optional, with a default value.
    All distances are in pixels and angles are in degrees, with 0 being up and going clockwise.
    • time: The amount of time, in seconds, that the particle will last. Default is 3.
    • fadeOutTime: The amount of seconds that fading out at the end should take (part of the total lifetime). Default is 1.
    • fadeInTime: The amount of seconds that fading in should take (part of the total lifetime). Default is 0.
    • image: The image the particle should display. "" will display no image. Default is a generic particle.
    • text: Displays text on the particle. Can use basic HTML.
    • style: Lets you apply other CSS styling to the particle.
    • width, height: The dimensions of the particle. Default is 35 and 35.
    • color: Sets the color of the image to this color.
    • angle: The angle that the particle should face. Default is 0.
    • dir: The initial angle that the particles should move in, before spread is factored in. Default is whatever angle is.
    • spread: If there are several particles, they will be spread out by this many degrees, centered on dir. Default is 30.
    • rotation: The amount that the (visual) angle of the particle should change by. Default is 0.
    • speed: The starting speed of the particle. Default is 15.
    • gravity: The amount the particle should accelerate downwards. Default is 0.
    • x, y: The starting coordinates of the particle. Default is at the mouse position.
    • offset: How far from the start each particle should appear. Default is 10.
    • xVel, yVel: Set initially based on other properties, then used to update movement.
    • layer: When changing tabs, if leaving the layer tab, this particle will be erased.
    • You can add other features to particles, but you must impliment their effects yourself.
    Function features: These stay as functions and are for more advanced things. They are optional.
    • update(): Called each tick. Lets you do more advanced visual and movement behaviors by changing other properties.
    • onClick(), onMouseOver(), onMouseLeave(): Called when the particle is interacted with.
    Other useful things that are not features of the particle object:
    • setDir(particle, dir), setSpeed(particle, speed): Set the speed/direction on a particle.
    • clearParticles(check): Function to delete particles. With no check, it deletes all particles. Check is a function that takes a particle, and returns true if that particle should be deleted.
    • You can use Vue.delete(particles, this.id) to make a particle delete itself.
    • mouseX and mouseY are variables that track the mouse position.
    • sin(x), cos(x), tan(x): functions that do these operations, with x in degrees. (Instead of radians).

    Features can be functions or constant. These features will be called when each particle is made, with an id argument, which is assigned based on which of the amount particles being spawned this is. All of these are optional, with a default value.

    All distances are in pixels and angles are in degrees, with 0 being up and going clockwise.

    • time: The amount of time, in seconds, that the particle will last. Default is 3.

    • fadeOutTime: The amount of seconds that fading out at the end should take (part of the total lifetime). Default is 1.

    • fadeInTime: The amount of seconds that fading in should take (part of the total lifetime). Default is 0.

    • image: The image the particle should display. "" will display no image. Default is a generic particle.

    • text: Displays text on the particle. Can use basic HTML.

    • style: Lets you apply other CSS styling to the particle.

    • width, height: The dimensions of the particle. Default is 35 and 35.

    • color: Sets the color of the image to this color.

    • angle: The angle that the particle should face. Default is 0.

    • dir: The initial angle that the particles should move in, before spread is factored in. Default is whatever angle is.

    • spread: If there are several particles, they will be spread out by this many degrees, centered on dir. Default is 30.

    • rotation: The amount that the (visual) angle of the particle should change by. Default is 0.

    • speed: The starting speed of the particle. Default is 15.

    • gravity: The amount the particle should accelerate downwards. Default is 0.

    • x, y: The starting coordinates of the particle. Default is at the mouse position.

    • offset: How far from the start each particle should appear. Default is 10.

    • xVel, yVel: Set initially based on other properties, then used to update movement.

    • layer: When changing tabs, if leaving the layer tab, this particle will be erased.

    • You can add other features to particles, but you must impliment their effects yourself.

    Function features: These stay as functions and are for more advanced things. They are optional.

    • update(): Called each tick. Lets you do more advanced visual and movement behaviors by changing other properties.
    • onClick(), onMouseOver(), onMouseLeave(): Called when the particle is interacted with.

    Other useful things that are not features of the particle object:

    • setDir(particle, dir), setSpeed(particle, speed): Set the speed/direction on a particle.
    • clearParticles(check): Function to delete particles. With no check, it deletes all particles. Check is a function that takes a particle, and returns true if that particle should be deleted.
    • You can use Vue.delete(particles, this.id) to make a particle delete itself.
    • mouseX and mouseY are variables that track the mouse position.
    • sin(x), cos(x), tan(x): functions that do these operations, with x in degrees. (Instead of radians).
    • asin(x), acos(x), atan(x): functions that do these operations, with the returned value in degrees. (instead of radians).

    Subtabs and Microtabs ​

    Subtabs are separate sections of a tab that you can view by selecting one at the top of the tab. Microtabs are smaller areas that function in much the same way. You can also embed layers inside of subtabs/microtabs.

    Subtabs are defined by using the tab format like this, where each element of tabFormat is given the name of that subtab:

    Trees and tree customization ​

    If you want to have something beyond the standard tree on the left tab, you can do that in tree.js. You can change the layout of the tree, including making non-layer nodes, change it into something other than a tree, or hide the left tab altogether. This also introduces the "tree" component, which can be used in your layers as well.

    layoutInfo ​

    The most important part is layoutInfo, containing:

    • startTab: The id of the default tab to show on the left at the start.
    • showTree: True if the tree tab should be shown at the start of the game. (The other tab will fill the whole page)
    • treeLayout: If present, overrides the tree layout and places nodes as you describe instead (explained in the next section).

    Additionally, if you want the main layout to not be a tree, you can edit the "tree-tab" layer at the bottom of tree.js to modify it just like a normal layer's tab. You can even switch between left tabs, using showNavTab(layer) to make that layer appear on the left.

    Trees ​

    The tree component is defined as an array of arrays of names of layers or nodes to show in the tree. They work just like layers/ nodes in the main tree (but branches between nodes will only work on the first node if you have duplicates.)

    Here is an example tree:

    Nodes are non-layer buttons that can go in trees. They are defined similarly to layers, but with addNode instead of addLayer.
    Features:
    • color: optional, The node's color. (A string in hex format with a #)
    • symbol: optional The text on the button (The id capitalized by default)
    • canClick(): Returns true if the player can click the node. ()
    • onClick(): The function called when the node is clicked.
    • layerShown(): optional, A function returning a bool which determines if this node should be visible. It can also return "ghost", which will hide the layer, but its node will still take up space in its tree.
    • branches: optional. An array of layer/node ids. On a tree, a line will appear from this node to all of the nodes in the list. Alternatively, an entry in the array can be a 2-element array consisting of the id and a color value. The color value can either be a string with a hex color code, or a number from 1-3 (theme-affected colors).
    • nodeStyle: optional. A CSS object, where the keys are CSS attributes, which styles this node on the tree.
    • tooltip() / tooltipLocked(): optional. Functions that return text, which is the tooltip for the node when the layer is unlocked or locked, respectively. By default the tooltips behave the same as in the original Prestige Tree.
    • row: optional, the row that this node appears in (for the default tree).
    • position: optional, Determines the horizontal position of the layer in its row in a default tree. By default, it uses the id, and layers/nodes are sorted in alphabetical order.

    Updating The Modding Tree ​

    This tutorial assumes that you have used the Getting Started Tutorial, and are using Github Desktop and VSCode for your mod.

    Here's what you have to do when there's a TMT update:

    1. Look at the changelog. It will warn you if the update will break anything or require any changes. Decide if you want to try to update.

    2. Open Github Desktop, and at the top middle, click "fetch origin". This will make Github Desktop get information about the update.

    3. Click where it says "current branch: master" at the top middle, and at the bottom of the thing that appears, click "choose a branch to merge into master".

    4. Select upstream/master. It will likely say there are conflicts, but you have tools to resolve them. Click "Merge upstream/master into master".

    5. A conflict happens when the things you're trying to merge have both made changes in the same place. Click "open in Visual Studio Code" next to the first file.

    6. Scroll down through the file, and look for the parts highlighted in red and green. One of these is your code, and the other is some code that will be modified by the update. Do your best to try to edit things to keep the updated changes, but keep your content.

    7. Continue to do this for all remaining changes.

    8. Do any other changes required by the update, run the game, fix issues, etc.

    Upgrades ​

    Useful functions for dealing with Upgrades and implementing their effects:

    • upgradeEffect(layer, id): Returns the current effects of the upgrade, if any
    • buyUpgrade(layer, id): Buys an upgrade directly (if affordable)

-}
    Usually, upgrades should have an id where the first digit is the row and the second digit is the column.
    Individual upgrades can have these features:
    • title: optional. Displayed at the top in a larger font. It can also be a function that returns updating text. Can use basic HTML.
    • description: A description of the upgrade's effect. You will also have to implement the effect where it is applied. It can also be a function that returns updating text. Can use basic HTML.
    • effect(): optional. A function that calculates and returns the current values of any bonuses from the upgrade. Can return a value or an object containing multiple values.
    • effectDisplay(): optional. A function that returns a display of the current effects of the upgrade with formatting. Default displays nothing. Can use basic HTML.
    • fullDisplay(): OVERRIDE. Overrides the other displays and descriptions, and lets you set the full text for the upgrade. Can use basic HTML.
    • cost: A Decimal for the cost of the upgrade. By default, upgrades cost the main prestige currency for the layer.
    • unlocked(): optional. A function returning a bool to determine if the upgrade is visible or not. Default is unlocked.
    • onPurchase(): optional. This function will be called when the upgrade is purchased. Good for upgrades like "makes this layer act like it was unlocked first".
    • style: optional. Applies CSS to this upgrade, in the form of an object where the keys are CSS attributes, and the values are the values for those attributes (both as strings).
    • layer: assigned automagically. It's the same value as the name of this layer, so you can do player[this.layer].points or similar.
    • id: assigned automagically. It's the "key" which the upgrade was stored under, for convenient access. The upgrade in the example's id is 11.
    By default, upgrades use the main prestige currency for the layer. You can include these to change them (but it needs to be a Decimal):
    • currencyDisplayName: optional. The name to display for the currency for the upgrade.

    • currencyLayer: optional. The internal name of the layer that currency is stored in. If it's not in a layer (like Points), omit. If it's not stored directly in a layer, instead use the next feature.
    • currencyLocation: optional. If your currency is stored in something inside a layer (e.g. a buyable's amount), you can access it this way. This is a function returning the object in "player" that contains the value (like player[this.layer].buyables)
    If you want to do something more complicated like upgrades that cost two currencies, you can override the purchase system with these (and you need to use fullDisplay as well)

    • Optional "name" layer feature, used in confirmation messages.

    v1.3: Tabception... ception! - 10/7/20 ​

    • Added subtabs! And also a Micro-tab component to let you make smaller subtab-esque areas anywhere.
    • Added a "custom" prestige formula type, and a number of features to support it.
    • Added points/sec display (can be disabled).
    • Added h-line, v-line and image-display components, plus components for individual upgrades, challenges, and milestones.
    • Added upgEffect, buyableEffect, and challEffect functions.
    • Added "hide completed challenges" setting.
    • Moved old changelogs to a separate place.
    • Fixed hasMilestone and incr_order.
    • Static layers now show the currency amount needed for the next one if you can buy max.

    v1.2.4 - 10/4/20 ​

    • Layers are now highlighted if you can buy an upgrade, and a new feature, shouldNotify, lets you make it highlight other ways.
    • Fixed bugs with hasUpg, hasChall, hasMilestone, and inChallenge.
    • Changed the sample code to use the above functions for convenience.

    v1.2.3 - 10/3/20 ​

    • Added a row component, which displays a list of objects in a row.
    • Added a column component, which displays a list of objects in a column (useful within a row).
    • Changed blanks to have a customizable width and height.

    v1.2: This Changes Everything! - 10/3/20 ​

    The-Modding-Tree ​

    The main way to add content is through creating layers. You can either add a layer directly in the layers object in layerSupport.js, or declare it in another file and register it by calling addLayer(layername, layerdata). There is an example layer registration in layers.js showing the recommended method. It is just an example and can be freely deleted. You can also use it as a reference or a base for your own layers.

    The first thing you need to do is fill out the modInfo object at the top of mod.js to set your mod's name, ID (a string), and other information. A unique modId will prevent your mod's saves from conflicting with other mods. Note that changing this after people have started playing will reset their saves.

    Most of the time, you won't need to dive deep into the code to create things, but you still can if you really want to, for example to add new Vue components in v.js.

    The Modding Tree uses break_eternity.js to store large values. This means that many numbers are Decimal objects, and must be treated differently. For example, you have to use new Decimal(x) to create a Decimal value instead of a plain number, and perform operations on them by calling functions. e.g, instead of x = x + y, use x = x.add(y). Keep in mind this also applies to comparison operators, which should be replaced with calling the .gt, .gte, .lt, .lte, .eq, and .neq functions. See the break_eternity.js docs for more details on working with Decimal values.

    Almost all values can be either a constant value, or a dynamic value. Dynamic values are defined by putting a function that returns what the value should be at any given time.

    All display text can use basic HTML elements (But you can't use most Vue features there).

    While reading this documentation, the following key will be used when describing features:

    • No label: This is required and the game may crash if it isn't included.
    • sometimes required: This is may be required, depending on other things in the layer.
    • optional: You can leave this out if you don't intend to use that feature for the layer.
    • assigned automagically: This value will be set automatically and override any value you set.
    • deprecated: This feature is not recommended to be used anymore, and may be removed in future versions of TMT.

    • canSellOne/canSellAll(): optional. booleans determining whether or not to show the buttons. If "canSellOne/All" is absent but "sellOne/All" is present, the appropriate button will always show.

    Challenges can have fully customizable win conditions. Useful functions for dealing with Challenges and implementing their effects:

    • inChallenge(layer, id): determine if the player is in a given challenge (or another challenge on the same layer that counts as this one).
    • hasChallenge(layer, id): determine if the player has completed the challenge.
    • challengeCompletions(layer, id): determine how many times the player completed the challenge.
    • challengeEffect(layer, id): Returns the current effects of the challenge, if any.

    Clickables ​

    Clickables are any kind of thing that you can click for an effect. They're a more generalized version of Buyables.

    DO NOT USE THESE TO MAKE THINGS THAT YOU CLICK REPEATEDLY FOR A BONUS BECAUSE THOSE ARE AWFUL.

    There are several differences between the two. One is that a buyable's saved data is its amount as a Decimal, while Clickables store a "state" which can be a number or string, but not Decimal, array, or object). Buyables have a number of extra features which you can see on their page. Clickables also have a smaller default size.

    Useful functions for dealing with achievements and implementing their effects:

    • getClickableState(layer, id): get the state of the clickable the player has
    • setClickableState(layer, id, state): set the state of the buyable the player has
    • clickableEffect(layer, id): Returns the current effects of the clickable, if any.

    • toggle: A toggle button that toggles a bool value. The data is a pair that identifies what bool to toggle, e.g. [layer, id]
    The rest of the components are sub-components. They can be used just like other components, but are typically part of another component.
    • upgrade, milestone, challenge, buyable, clickable, achievement: An individual upgrade, challenge, etc. The argument is the id. This can be used if you want to have upgrades split up across multiple subtabs, for example.
    • respec-button, master-button: The respec and master buttons for buyables and clickables, respectively.
    • sell-one, sell-all: The "sell one" and "sell all" for buyables, respectively. The argument is the id of the buyable.

    Getting started ​

    Welcome to The Modding Tree!

    Using the Modding Tree, at its simplest level, just requires getting a copy of it onto your computer. However, if you do it the right way, it will help in many ways.

    Don't let the word "Github" scare you away. It's actually much easier to use than most people think, especially because most people use it the hard way. The key is Github Desktop, which lets you do everything you need to, without even touching the command line.

    The benefits of using Github:

    • It makes it much, much easier to update The Modding Tree.
    • You can share your work without any extra effort using githack, or with a bit more effort, set up a github.io site.
    • It lets you undo changes to your code, and to have multiple versions of it.
    • It lets you collaborate with other people, if you want to.

    Getting set up with Github Desktop, Visual Studio Code, and The Modding Tree: ​

    1. Install Github Desktop and Visual Studio Code.

    2. Make a Github account. You can handle this on your own.

    3. Log in on your browser, and go back to The Modding Tree page. At the top right, there should be a button that says "fork". Click on it, and then on your username. You now have your own fork, or copy, of The Modding Tree.

    4. Open Github Desktop and log in. Ignore everything else and choose "clone a repository". A "repository" is basically a "Github project", like The Modding Tree. "Cloning" is downloading a copy of the repository to your computer.

    5. Look for The Modding Tree in the list of repositiories (it should be the only one) and click "clone".

    6. Select that you're using it for your own purposes, and click continue. It will download the files and handle everything.

    Using your repository ​

    1. Click on "show in explorer/finder" to the right, and then open the index.html file in the folder. The page should open up on your browser. This will let you view and test your project locally!

    2. To edit your project, click "open in VSCode" in Github Desktop.

    3. Open mod.js in VSCode, and look at the top part where it has a "modInfo" object. Fill in your mod's name to whatever you want, and change the id as well. (It can be any string value, and it's used to determine where the savefile is. Make it something that's probably unique, and don't change it again later or else it'll effectively wipe existing saves)

    4. Save mod.js, and then reload index.html in your browser. The title on the tab, as well as on the info page, will now be updated! You can reload the page every time you change the code to test it quickly and easily.

    5. Go back to Github Desktop. It's time to save your changes into the git system by making a "commit". This basically saves your work and creates a snapshot of what your code looks like at this moment, allowing you to look back at it later.

    6. At the bottom right corner, add a summary of your changes, and then click "commit to master".

    7. Finally, at the top middle, click "push origin" to push your changes out onto the online repository.

    8. You can view your project on line, or share it with others, by going to https://raw.githack.com/[YOUR-GITHUB-USERNAME]/The-Modding-Tree/master/index.html

    And now, you have successfully used Github! You can look at the documentation to see how The Modding Tree's system works and to make your mod a reality.

    Layer Features ​

    This is a more comprehensive list of established features to add to layers. You can add more freely, if you want to have other functions or values associated with your layer. These have special functionality, though.

    You can make almost any value dynamic by using a function in its place, including all display strings and styling/color features.

    Layer Definition features ​

    • layer: assigned automagically. It's the same value as the name of this layer, so you can do player[this.layer].points or similar to access the saved value. It makes copying code to new layers easier. It is also assigned to all upgrades and buyables and such.

    • name: optional. used in reset confirmations (and the default infobox title). If absent, it just uses the layer's id.

    • startData(): A function to return the default save data for this layer. Add any variables you have to it. Make sure to use Decimal values rather than normal numbers.

      Standard values: - Required: - unlocked: a bool determining if this layer is unlocked or not - points: a Decimal, the main currency for the layer - Optional: - total: A Decimal, tracks total amount of main prestige currency. Always tracked, but only shown if you add it here. - best: A Decimal, tracks highest amount of main prestige currency. Always tracked, but only shown if you add it here. - unlockOrder: used to keep track of relevant layers unlocked before this one. - resetTime: A number, time since this layer was last prestiged (or reset by another layer)

    • color: A color associated with this layer, used in many places. (A string in hex format with a #)

    • row: The row of the layer, starting at 0. This affects where the node appears on the standard tree, and which resets affect the layer.

      Using "side" instead of a number will cause the layer to appear off to the side as a smaller node (useful for achievements and statistics). Side layers are not affected by resets unless you add a doReset to them.

    • displayRow: OVERRIDE Changes where the layer node appears without changing where it is in the reset order.

    • resource: Name of the main currency you gain by resetting on this layer.

    • effect(): optional. A function that calculates and returns the current values of any bonuses inherent to the main currency. Can return a value or an object containing multiple values. You will also have to implement the effect where it is applied.

    • effectDescription: optional. A function that returns a description of this effect. If the text stays constant, it can just be a string.

    • layerShown(): optional, A function returning a bool which determines if this layer's node should be visible on the tree. It can also return "ghost", which will hide the layer, but its node will still take up space in the tree. Defaults to true.

    • hotkeys: optional. An array containing information on any hotkeys associated with this layer:

 ]
      • style: optional. a "CSS object" where the keys are CSS attributes, containing any CSS that should affect this layer's entire tab.
      • tabFormat: optional. use this if you want to add extra things to your tab or change the layout. See here for more info.
      • midsection: optional, an alternative to tabFormat, which is inserted in between Milestones and Buyables in the standard tab layout. (cannot do subtabs)
      Big features (all optional) ​
      • upgrades: A grid of one-time purchases which can have unique upgrade conditions, currency costs, and bonuses. See here for more info.
      • milestones: A list of bonuses gained upon reaching certain thresholds of a resource. Often used for automation/QOL. See here for more info.
      • challenges: The player can enter challenges, which make the game harder. If they reach a goal and beat the challenge, they recieve a bonus. See here for more info.
      • buyables: Effectively upgrades that can be bought multiple times, and are optionally respeccable. Many uses. See here for more info.
      • clickables: Extremely versatile and generalized buttons which can only be clicked sometimes. See here for more info.
      • microtabs: An area that functions like a set of subtabs, with buttons at the top changing the content within. (Advanced) See here for more info.
      • bars: Display some information as a progress bar, gague, or similar. They are highly customizable, and can be vertical as well. See here for more info.
      • achievements: Kind of like milestones, but with a different display style and some other differences. Extra features are on the way at a later date! See here for more info.
      • infoboxes: Displays some text in a box that can be shown or hidden. See here for more info.
      • achievementPopups, milestonePopups: optional, If false, disables popup message when you get the achievement/milestone. True by default.
      Prestige formula features ​
      • type: optional. Determines which prestige formula you use. Defaults to "none".
        • "normal": The amount of currency you gain is independent of its current amount (like Prestige). The formula before bonuses is based on baseResource^exponent
        • "static": The cost is dependent on your total after reset. The formula before bonuses is based on base^(x^exponent)
        • "custom": You can define everything, from the calculations to the text on the button, yourself. (See more at the bottom)
        • "none": This layer does not prestige, and therefore does not need any of the other features in this section.
      • baseResource: The name of the resource that determines how much of the main currency you gain on reset.
      • baseAmount(): A function that gets the current value of the base resource.
      • requires: A Decimal, the amount of the base needed to gain 1 of the prestige currency. Also the amount required to unlock the layer. You can instead make this a function, to make it harder if another layer was unlocked first (based on unlockOrder).
      • exponent: Used as described above.
      • base: sometimes required. required for "static" layers, used as described above. If absent, defaults to 2. Must be greater than 1.
      • roundUpCost: optional. a bool, which is true if the resource cost needs to be rounded up. (use if the base resource is a "static" currency.)
      • gainMult(), gainExp(): optional. Functions that calculate the multiplier and exponent on resource gain from upgrades and boosts and such. Plug in any bonuses here.
      • softcap, softcapPower: optional. For normal layers, gain beyond [softcap] points is put to the [softcapPower]th power Default for softcap is e1e7, and for power is 0.5.
      • canBuyMax(): sometimes required. required for static layers, function used to determine if buying max is permitted.
      • onPrestige(gain): optional. A function that triggers when this layer prestiges, just before you gain the currency. Can be used to have secondary resource gain on prestige, or to recalculate things or whatnot.
      • resetDescription: optional. Use this to replace "Reset for " on the Prestige button with something else.
      • prestigeButtonText(): sometimes required. Use this to make the entirety of the text a Prestige button contains. Only required for custom layers, but usable by all types.
      • passiveGeneration(): optional, returns a regular number. You automatically generate your gain times this number every second (does nothing if absent) This is good for automating Normal layers.
      • autoPrestige(): optional, returns a boolean, if true, the layer will always automatically do a prestige if it can. This is good for automating Static layers.
      Tree/node features ​
      • symbol: optional. The text that appears on this layer's node. Default is the layer id with the first letter capitalized.
      • image: override. The url (local or global) of an image that goes on the node. (Overrides symbol)
      • position: optional. Determines the horizontal position of the layer in its row in a standard tree. By default, it uses the layer id, and layers are sorted in alphabetical order.
      • branches: optional. An array of layer/node ids. On a tree, a line will appear from this layer to all of the layers in the list. Alternatively, an entry in the array can be a 2-element array consisting of the layer id and a color value. The color value can either be a string with a hex color code, or a number from 1-3 (theme-affected colors).
      • nodeStyle: optional. A CSS object, where the keys are CSS attributes, which styles this layer's node on the tree.
      • tooltip() / tooltipLocked(): optional. Functions that return text, which is the tooltip for the node when the layer is unlocked or locked, respectively. By default the tooltips behave the same as in the original Prestige Tree. If the value is "", the tooltip will be disabled.
      Other features ​
      • doReset(resettingLayer): optional. Is triggered when a layer on a row greater than or equal to this one does a reset. The default behavior is to reset everything on the row, but only if it was triggered by a layer in a higher row. doReset is always called for side layers, but for these the default behavior is to reset nothing.
        If you want to keep things, determine what to keep based on resettingLayer, milestones, and such, then call layerDataReset(layer, keep), where layer is this layer, and keep is an array of the names of things to keep. It can include things like "points", "best", "total" (for this layer's prestige currency), "upgrades", any unique variables like "generatorPower", etc. If you want to only keep specific upgrades or something like that, save them in a separate variable, then call layerDataReset, and then set player[this.layer].upgrades to the saved upgrades.
      • update(diff): optional. This function is called every game tick. Use it for any passive resource production or time-based things. diff is the time since the last tick.
      • autoUpgrade: optional, a boolean value, if true, the game will attempt to buy this layer's upgrades every tick. Defaults to false.
      • automate(): optional. This function is called every game tick, after production. Use it to activate automation things that aren't otherwise supported.
      • resetsNothing: optional. Returns true if this layer shouldn't trigger any resets when you prestige.
      • increaseUnlockOrder: optional. An array of layer ids. When this layer is unlocked for the first time, the unlockOrder value for any not-yet-unlocked layers in this list increases. This can be used to make them harder to unlock.
      • shouldNotify: optional. A function to return true if this layer should be highlighted in the tree. The layer will automatically be highlighted if you can buy an upgrade whether you have this or not.
      • componentStyles: optional. An object that contains a set of functions returning CSS objects. Each of these will be applied to any components on the layer with the type of its id. Example:
      js
      componentStyles: {
     "challenge"() { return {'height': '200px'} },
     "prestige-button"() { return {'color': '#AA66AA'} }
-}
      Custom Prestige type ​
      (All of these can also be used by other prestige types)
      • getResetGain(): mostly for custom prestige type. Returns how many points you should get if you reset now. You can call getResetGain(this.layer, useType = "static") or similar to calculate what your gain would be under another prestige type (provided you have all of the required features in the layer).
      • getNextAt(canMax=false): mostly for custom prestige type. Returns how many of the base currency you need to get to the next point. canMax is an optional variable used with Static-ish layers to differentiate between if it's looking for the first point you can reset at, or the requirement for any gain at all (Supporting both is good). You can also call getNextAt(this.layer, canMax=false, useType = "static") or similar to calculate what your next at would be under another prestige type (provided you have all of the required features in the layer).
      • canReset(): mostly for custom prestige type. Return true only if you have the resources required to do a prestige here.
      • prestigeNotify(): mostly for custom prestige types, returns true if this layer should be subtly highlighted to indicate you can prestige for a meaningful gain.

    mod.js ​

    All of the non-layer code and data that you're likely to edit is here in mod.js! Everything in mod.js will not be altered by updates, besides the addition of new things.

    Here's a breakdown of what's in it:

    • modInfo is where most of the basic configuration for the mod is. It contains:

      • name: The name of your mod. (a string)

      • id: The id for your mod, a unique string that is used to determine savefile location. Setting it is important!

      • author: The name of the author, displayed in the info tab.

      • pointsName: This changes what is displayed instead of "points" for the main currency. (It does not affect it in the code.)

      • discordName, discordLink: If you have a Discord server or other discussion place, you can add a link to it.

        "discordName" is the text on the link, and "discordLink" is the url of an invite. If you're using a Discord invite, please make sure it's set to never expire.

      • offlineLimit: The maximum amount of offline time that the player can accumulate, in hours. Any extra time is lost. (a number)

        This is useful because most of these mods are fast-paced enough that too much offline time ruins the balance, such as the time in between updates. That is why I suggest developers disable offline time on their own savefile.

      • initialStartPoints: A Decimal for the amount of points a new player should start with.

    • VERSION is used to describe the current version of your mod. It contains:

      • num: The mod's version number, displayed at the top right of the tree tab.
      • name: The version's name, displayed alongside the number in the info tab.

    • changelog is the HTML displayed in the changelog tab.

    • doNotCallTheseFunctionsEveryTick is very important. TMT calls every function anywhere in "layers" every tick to store the result, unless specifically told not to. Functions that have are used to do an action need to be identified. "Official" functions (those in the documentation) are all fine, but if you make any new ones, add their names to this array.

    • getStartPoints(): A function to determine the amount of points the player starts with after a reset. (returns a Decimal value)
    • canGenPoints(): A function returning a boolean for if points should be generated. Use this if you want an upgrade to unlock generating points.
    • getPointGen(): A function that calculates your points per second. Anything that affects your point gain should go into the calculation here.
    • addedPlayerData(): A function that returns any non-layer-related data that you want to be added to the save data and "player" object.
    js
    function addedPlayerData() { return {

 	happiness: new Decimal(72),
-}}

    You can use hasMilestone(layer, id) to determine if the player has a given milestone
    Milestone features:
    • requirementDescription: A string describing the requirement for unlocking this milestone. Suggestion: Use a "total". It can also be a function that returns updating text. Can use basic HTML.
    • effectDescription: A string describing the reward for having the milestone. You will have to implement the reward elsewhere. It can also be a function that returns updating text. Can use basic HTML.
    • done(): A function returning a boolean to determine if the milestone should be awarded.
    • toggles: optional. Creates toggle buttons that appear on the milestone when it is unlocked. The toggles can toggle a given boolean value in a layer. It is defined as an array of paired items, one pair per toggle. The first is the internal name of the layer the value being toggled is stored in, and the second is the internal name of the variable to toggle. (e.g. [["b", "auto"], ["g", "auto"])
      Tip: Toggles are not de-set if the milestone becomes locked! In this case, you should also check if the player has the milestone.

    You can use hasMilestone(layer, id) to determine if the player has a given milestone

    Milestone features:

    • requirementDescription: A string describing the requirement for unlocking this milestone. Suggestion: Use a "total". It can also be a function that returns updating text. Can use basic HTML.

    • effectDescription: A string describing the reward for having the milestone. You will have to implement the reward elsewhere. It can also be a function that returns updating text. Can use basic HTML.

    • done(): A function returning a boolean to determine if the milestone should be awarded.

    • toggles: optional. Creates toggle buttons that appear on the milestone when it is unlocked. The toggles can toggle a given boolean value in a layer. It is defined as an array of paired items, one pair per toggle. The first is the internal name of the layer the value being toggled is stored in, and the second is the internal name of the variable to toggle. (e.g. [["b", "auto"], ["g", "auto"])

      Tip: Toggles are not de-set if the milestone becomes locked! In this case, you should also check if the player has the milestone.

    • style: optional. Applies CSS to this milestone, in the form of an object where the keys are CSS attributes, and the values are the values for those attributes (both as strings).

    • unlocked(): optional. A function returning a boolean to determine if the milestone should be shown. If absent, it is always shown.

    Subtabs and Microtabs ​

    Subtabs are separate sections of a tab that you can view by selecting one at the top of the tab. Microtabs are smaller areas that function in much the same way. You can also embed layers inside of subtabs/microtabs.

    Subtabs are defined by using the tab format like this, where each element of tabFormat is given the name of that subtab:

    Trees and tree customization ​

    If you want to have something beyond the standard tree on the left tab, you can do that in tree.js. You can change the layout of the tree, including making non-layer nodes, change it into something other than a tree, or hide the left tab altogether. This also introduces the "tree" component, which can be used in your layers as well.

    layoutInfo ​

    The most important part is layoutInfo, containing:

    • startTab: The id of the default tab to show on the left at the start.
    • showTree: True if the tree tab should be shown at the start of the game. (The other tab will fill the whole page)
    • treeLayout: If present, overrides the tree layout and places nodes as you describe instead (explained in the next section).

    Additionally, if you want the main layout to not be a tree, you can edit the "tree-tab" layer at the bottom of tree.js to modify it just like a normal layer's tab. You can even switch between left tabs, using showNavTab(layer) to make that layer appear on the left.

    Trees ​

    The tree component is defined as an array of arrays of names of layers or nodes to show in the tree. They work just like layers/ nodes in the main tree (but branches between nodes will only work on the first node if you have duplicates.)

    Here is an example tree:

    Nodes are non-layer buttons that can go in trees. They are defined similarly to layers, but with addNode instead of addLayer.
    Features:
    • color: optional, The node's color. (A string in hex format with a #)
    • symbol: optional The text on the button (The id capitalized by default)
    • canClick(): Returns true if the player can click the node. ()
    • onClick(): The function called when the node is clicked.
    • layerShown(): optional, A function returning a bool which determines if this node should be visible. It can also return "ghost", which will hide the layer, but its node will still take up space in its tree.
    • branches: optional. An array of layer/node ids. On a tree, a line will appear from this node to all of the nodes in the list. Alternatively, an entry in the array can be a 2-element array consisting of the id and a color value. The color value can either be a string with a hex color code, or a number from 1-3 (theme-affected colors).
    • nodeStyle: optional. A CSS object, where the keys are CSS attributes, which styles this node on the tree.
    • tooltip() / tooltipLocked(): optional. Functions that return text, which is the tooltip for the node when the layer is unlocked or locked, respectively. By default the tooltips behave the same as in the original Prestige Tree.
    • row: optional, the row that this node appears in (for the default tree).
    • position: optional, Determines the horizontal position of the layer in its row in a default tree. By default, it uses the id, and layers/nodes are sorted in alphabetical order.

    Updating The Modding Tree ​

    This tutorial assumes that you have used the Getting Started Tutorial, and are using Github Desktop and VSCode for your mod.

    Here's what you have to do when there's a TMT update:

    1. Look at the changelog. It will warn you if the update will break anything or require any changes. Decide if you want to try to update.

    2. Open Github Desktop, and at the top middle, click "fetch origin". This will make Github Desktop get information about the update.

    3. Click where it says "current branch: master" at the top middle, and at the bottom of the thing that appears, click "choose a branch to merge into master".

    4. Select upstream/master. It will likely say there are conflicts, but you have tools to resolve them. Click "Merge upstream/master into master".

    5. A conflict happens when the things you're trying to merge have both made changes in the same place. Click "open in Visual Studio Code" next to the first file.

    6. Scroll down through the file, and look for the parts highlighted in red and green. One of these is your code, and the other is some code that will be modified by the update. Do your best to try to edit things to keep the updated changes, but keep your content.

    7. Continue to do this for all remaining changes.

    8. Do any other changes required by the update, run the game, fix issues, etc.
