Vedal subathon wheel suggestion

[hollow glade]

Next subathon, bring the wheel out when you have accumulated the time you feel you need for all your content to be done. This was way too early implementation, as crazy as it may feel. After that it's up to rng if your subathon is going to end early or carry on, which is one aspect of subathons.

the wheel should also not have the chance to demolish the timer in two spins

and if you really dont want to have options that add time, you can replace them with 'happy hour' options among the time decreasers.

I do wonder why he decided on a week to bring out the wheel.
If he held off until after the gamejam development might've been better, true.

I mean at the end of the day the gambling just wasn't in our favour; it sucks but it's true, none of us would be complaining if the wheel spinned in our favour even just once over 3 spins, we just got really unlucky with the -10.

With the +4 free seconds we got today, the current wheel is fairly OK. Worst case scenario tomorrow we go to 10 seconds which is still better than the 9 we had.

those happy hours would arguably raise the timer even more than just having a positive number tho, the hype would cause the timer to raise dramatically

Imagine if you have to spin a second wheel to decide when the happy hour begins.

Well that is the gambling aspect, there could be only like 2 happy hour slots to hit in the wheel and once you hit one its gone.

I like that tbh since it means the timer stays as is for the day but the happy hour happens at a certain time. But what is happy hour, really? x2? x3?

Because let's say he gets happy hour first spin next year and it's x3 of 20 seconds, that subathon is getting to 200 hours.

doubles the added time per sub, or atleast that way its been for many streamers who have had similar wheels in use
