Show HN: Quorbo 2.0, a word game using AI art derived from a daily quote
Hi HN, tldr; - I'm launching a new take an my original game idea that I thought might interest this crowd, and am looking for feedback.
Quorbo launched 7 months ago as a "letter-revealing game (think Wheel of Fortune with some twists)" [0]
It's remained a side project muse for me. Since then, I've made a bunch of improvements (dark mode, "achievements" that unlock new ways of playing, new stats, confetti animations, a way to play the previous day's puzzle, etc) and gained a few fans. Here's a combined dot-plan file showing changes made since then https://quorbo.com/rawcombined_dotplan.txt https://quorbo.com/rawcombined_dotplan.txt .
The second version of Quorbo hopefully adds some intrigue with AI-generated art derived from the day's quote. Hints could be gleaned from the picture. It also includes, for anyone wanting to discuss the day's post without spoiling it - a Discord discussion forum.
The initial idea did not quite have enough stickiness/share-ability to reliably grow, as its daily players peaked (at around 40/day).
Any ideas on how to push it over the hump would be really appreciated!
