└ posted on Monday, 30 June 2014, by Novil
- Sandra the Brave: King Richard, I killed the evil orc bandits who terrorized Oakdale!
- King Richard: Marvelous! Now there’s just one final little task for you to do to receive your knighthood.
- Sandra the Brave: What am I supposed to do, Your Majesty?
- King Richard: Do you see this huge pile of dirty dishes?
- Game screen: RICHARDSOFT – Sandra’s Quest (BETA) – Enter activation code to continue:
- Sandra: I hope these “Do chores to win” games will never catch on!
- Richard: It’s the start of something huge, I’m telling you!
Powree can draw 8-bit!? POWREE CAN DRAW 8-BIT!!!!
@ HardWearJunkie:
Well, if each used 3 for a single day (we have seen Woo use one before so I suspect he still would use them sometimes), and a couple for cooking, that’d be 11 a day. So this could quite easily be the result of only 3-4 days, which during the week could easily happen while both Sandra and Richard are busy or lazy and Woo doesn’t do chores, he is a raccoon.
@ hamstap85:
Eh? Looks more 16 bit. Like a game on super Famicom. Yes I’m aware I said Famicom instead of SNES because most of those games on Super Famicom look just like this. Rather than the American Games on SNES.
@ Kaigakoi:
Yeah! Why not? We can even get shirt!!!

Chore games are a thing that have existed a decent amount of time. They’re mildly entertaining for a week or so then everyone forgets they existed, in my experience at least.
i cant be only one who just ADORES the rpg tybe art comics, they’re so awesome.
Why hasn’t this become an actual thing with F2P games? I mean seriously: Parent downloads Microtransaction Manager and links to child’s game accounts (Google Play, Facebook, LINE, game-specific, etc.). Child is locked out of doing microtransactions (MTAs) themselves (YES, I see the potential hacker blackmail issue here, but proper implementation prevents enough of it to make that issue moot, such as having the Google Play accounts linked for Family Library Sharing) and must ask parents to authorize MTAs, Microsoft Authenticator-style. Include the ability to lock MTAs for a given amount of time in case of strong misbehavior.
