D-4got10-012804217d...could be worse... They could want you to make 'fun, but !too fun' experiences w/ monetization. Then, you'd be dealing w/ the Beelzebutt, the Canadian devil. https://youtu.be/zqk9V0fBl7w .

wojtek3222089217d@D-4got10-01 Remembers me of my previous company that wanted to add gamification to the whole product... Before it was even functional or even released. The app was a B2B VoIP app. -
D-4got10-012804217d@wojtek322 Well... gamification in such a product sounds like a brilliant idea...
/s
Seems like their priorities have been whacked if they wanted to include those before finishing the product. Especially when probably no one asked for the feature. -
wojtek3222089215d@D-4got10-01 The app never released with gamification cuz we lacked development time and the dev team was very much against it. The company owner/CEO required it. After the release, he wanted also that the app supported 3D worlds like a metaverse but good luck building that with 2 juniors frontend devs and 2 senior backend devs and a bunch of other prios.
At least one of our devs (who loves to draw) made a bunch of assets for the gamification with our company mascot and those assets at least found use in marketing material.

Creating mobile-first & responsive designs remains such an unfun experience. At least a lot of css frameworks makes it less painful but it still remains painful :(
