This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I'm in a closed beta for WalkScape, which is a single-player RPG that uses your pedometer for all game progress. Travel to another location? Chop down trees? Craft a bronze mining pick? Stomp grapes into wine? All of them progress only as you take steps throughout the day. A great little game to check in on now and then, and I feel utilizes the mobile platform well.
That's a good idea, but it's hard to work considering that true gamers don;t walk at all. /s
Seems like a good idea, maybe we'll have 2 good mobile games than.
That sounds like the best things I currently use PoGo for. I love chewing through eggs with my daily bike rides
It's neat, if fairly barebones. You pop open the game, see if you've completed your current activity (reached a destination you walked to, finished crafting through your item stack, gathered materials until your bag is full) then designate the next thing you'll do. But, it's F2P, ad-free, and the devs are very genuine! There's another beta wave soon because they're showing it at Gamescom! https://walkscape.app
Also, it's more forgiving than POGO since it uses STRICTLY pedometer (step count), so it doesn't try to see if you were running too fast, changing location, etc.
Looks pretty sweet! Thanks!
This looks very promising. Thanks for linking to it here. I hope it gets launched soon.
