• The content is still flexible at this point. The broad strokes are already defined, but the users will be involved to add or vote details / agree with directions the games will move to.

• Play with data on digital level (descramble, decrypt, decode, search, piece together, ...)
  
• A lot more tapes are to be expected.
  Goatsketcher is just the opening act of the whole TRS96K experience. Each episode (or tape group) in the final version will be an improvement over the previous one, but also as different as possible in terms of content.
  
• Mixtapes are planned for the near future and will also be an important part of the final version.
  
• Hardcore philosophy. Existential questions will be part of the final game content.
  
• Corruption-proof auto-save functionality. Watching out for "saving icons" will not be required.
  
• [votable]Normal difficulty mode for players who succeeded at least once in their lifetimes to load data from an audio tape.
  
• [votable]Hard difficulty mode for players who need no assists, little help and like to load data as it was originally intended: 48KB in 5 mins.
  TRS 96K will allow hardcore users to put the game in the background and react on audio queues so they can focus on something else during load.
  
• Invented conspiracy theories.
  
• Mock advertising.
  
• [votable]New functionality can be suggested by users, assessed by the dev in terms of effort/risk and then voted by the whole user community.

Bạn có kế hoạch tương tác với cộng đồng trong quá trình phát triển của mình như thế nào?

• TRS96K will try a democratic, voting-based approach for some of its features, tools, gameplay mechanics and content.
  Examples:
  
  • In the story, all the applications of TRS96K are implemented by a single developer, Goghe. He's constantly tired & overworked and bugs are unavoidable.
    Some of the bugs will be part of of the gameplay and especially developed.(ff/rew buttons of the tape player might stop working for specific tapes).
    Question: Are non-critical, non-annoying bugs better left in to free time so that more content is added ?
    
  • Would you prefer frequent releases resulting in additional effort for stabilization that reduces the effective content? Or use of time more efficiently by having infrequent releases with more content?
• Users will be able to submit bugs, suggest content, vote on other players or dev's suggestions.
