Considering that I need to cast a relatively wide net to find even thousands of players, the messaging about Mineralis is not very selective on purpose. I think that the overall demographic will end up being relatively random within the set of people who are gamers and enjoy JRPGs. Whether JRPG fans have a predisposition towards EA—that remains to be seen. :)
I would be super humbled if the game ends up being a success and can be considered useful for the purpose of actually teaching EA concepts. However, I would imagine that a vast majority learns better through reading articles or listening to podcasts.
Setting up a group for discussion sounds like a valuable idea. I added a personal task for that and expect to get to it late next week. I’m thinking Discord might make the most sense, given that many developers already use it anyway.
Hey Markus, thank you for sharing your thoughts!
