Kingdom of Knuffel

Oh yeah that would be how my knuffel rooms would look like. Filled with cobwebs.

What an entertaining image, though!
And a clever mechanism for games/sites, too. You could turn it into a whole thing; decorated areas left to go fallow gradually accumulate grime, dust, and cobwebs. People can enter friends' areas to clean them up, fight Dust Bunnies like wild foes, and collect spindles of cobwebs that become a material/quest item to turn into something or other.
It would encourage interaction even with inactive accounts, which means if your friends are active you interact normally and if they gradually drop off the site, their inactivity spawns almost dungeon-like mini-quests for the friends still playing, which encourages them to stay longer...
You could also give some form of bonus for people who regularly update and clean the decorated areas, to encourage both forms of game play.

Hm

I kind of want to flesh out this idea more and see if I can't use AI to help me program this game, now.

I remembered that there was supposed to be a fighting component to knuffels but it’s never been realized lol.

I miss the little mini-games we used to have here. I wasn't good at whack-a-wuffle, but it was fun.

I don’t think I’ve ever played those tbh. XD;;

I think the other one was a memory match game... Wasn't good at that either. My short-term memory is wonky. They both may have been removed a few years ago. Seems like I had trouble finding it the last time I attempted to be active.

i swear i feel like there mightve been a jigsaw game? but i could also be horribly wrong. lol

Oo, I wish! I love jigsaw puzzles. Firn's artwork is pretty enough she could easily make lots of puzzles here if the base engine code wasn't a pain to do. I'm not sure what websites do now that Flash has been exiled from the interwebs.

yeah a lot of Flash stuff (if not all really) is gone. since they axed it. i think its also the reason why kofk also had to do updates for it.

A devious part of me wonders what an old online college math course has done to compensate. One of my assignments had seventy pieces of flash on ONE webpage. SEVENTY. Took a very long time to do the assignment because of how it kept crashing my browser.
