Why stop when you can fix it while pedaling

Having a meme about gloves at my fingertips would definitely come in handy and I’d give that a thumbs up, but sadly I’m empty handed.

Undecided if this is a bad dad joke or great … but well done, regardless!

Zwift will go out of business.

Hah, no, I doubt that Zwift will go OOB because of this. They may take a ding for the many enduring bugs though.

IMO: WattGames would appeal to an 8 year-old boy/girl, but I doubt that it would appeal to many others on a continuous basis. Still, it scratches an itch. I had thought after I started riding Zwift, that it would be awesome of they had an option for ‘monsters’ to harass riders: Like a grizzly chase, Godzilla, space aliens, crazy mother-in-law, idiot neighbor, etc… Nothing would make me ride at pro speed than being chased by a bear!! Heck, I might even lay a ‘track’ of smell that might distract it as it charged after me. :flushed: :tired_face: :hot_face: :hot_face:

I see WattGames as maybe a nice way to mix up VO2Max workout with Zwift for this reason. Being chased by a T-Rex could help with the motivation, but what happens if it catches you? Having it bomb your interval would be a meaningful consequence of getting caught and would force you to push harder, but it would also inspire large amounts of rage-quitting and (probably well-directed) fury at the developers.

Kind of an interesting design question: what’s a meaningful impact of getting caught by your virtual assailants? Loss of in-game currency of some sort would probably be the easiest way to do it (something like drops in Zwift if they actually meant anything), Maybe just a bonus of some sort for not getting caught, and a minor visual impact if you do? Very curious how they’ll sort this out.

I wonder if that’s how my surgeon saw how much I was riding post-op. Hmm… I thought it was Strava ratting me out…

@FergusYL Yeah, losing some items, and maybe life points, or a life is common. Maybe they will monetize ‘life’, and charge by the ‘life pack’. Get 50 lives for $20? (Although if you need 50 lives, maybe take up knitting? :flushed: :smile:)

Stumbled on this site and thought of Bianchi straight away - they should sponsor it :joy:

Some years ago I used this app to train running. It‘s RPG like, has a little bit of story, and has endurace and interval parts (when you‘re chased by zombies vs harvesting goods).

I think it‘s good to spice up the runs a bit.
