Suggestion 1: Firesides (Yes I know)
Now Game Jolt, we are all aware why users did not use firesides, but I have some suggestions if they ever were to be brought back, here are some ideas to decrease costs and to make the experience better. One of the major reasons firesides were so expensive was the zero delay bandwith, so just increase the delay by maybe 10-20 seconds, similar to major streaming platforms such as Kick and Twitch. Also, custom emojis may be nice for streamers, as well as some form of stream poll system similar to Twitch, as well as some form of text to speech messages when you give Charged or Supercharged (read suggestion 2) stickers.
Suggestion 2: Supercharged stickers/Charged sticker rework
As of right now, the charged sticker methods are tedious and inconsistent, so I present a rework. Quests will still give 1 charge at a time, but instead of needing full charge to give a charged sticker, you can give a charged sticker as long as you have 1 charge at the time. At full charge, you will be able to give a "Supercharged" sticker, which will provide more value to the user the sticker is being given to and the user that is giving the sticker. This will provide more consistency and reason to save up your charge and will keep things more consistent.
Suggestion 3: Transfer of Gamepage Ownership
Currently, the only way to transfer gamepage ownership is through direct contact of Game Jolt, but it should be easier. There should be on option to transfer gamepage ownership to one of the aready existing collaborators. After the owner transfers ownership, they will still be a collaborator on the page, but not the owner. This will make it easier to transfer ownership for game creators if they ever need to!
These are all my suggestions I hope to see Game Jolt consider in 2024! Thanks for reading!
