I’m a developer and I’m tired of waiting for in-game chat to come to the app. So, naturally I want to build it.

If I created a free and easy to use web app that has these features would you use it?

  • allows for filling out the game type, map size, game name, number of players, and our own tag
  • creates a listing of “games being played”
  • allows you to search for your game name and then see all other games with your name
  • once you find the exact game you’re playing, you can join and talk with others in a chat-style interface

Obviously I would open source the code and crowd source the design, UI and features. But that would require your help!

I have some downtime over the holidays and I think it would be a fun project to work on that I could launch in about a day.

Lmk your thoughts!

Have you ever thought that the lack of a chat was an intentional design decision?

Ultimately, we want to keep toxicity, and avenues for expressing it, to a minimum.

Polytopia is meant to be a friendly game, and we don't want people bullied off the platform. The game doesn't necessarily need a chat.
