Oh, are we sure Primal Outpost was cohabitive? Generally if I saw a game like that irl I’d assume it was pure coop. The game lead seemed to think it was. But yeah I get the sense that a game like that should be cohabitive.
I guess I’d design it so that sustainability was a goal for most players (there might be a neartermist player who sincerely doesn’t give a shit about sustainability and people just have to reckon with that :}) and then they also each have another individual goal that they had to meet.
So part of the game is accomodating each others’ spiky diverse needs. It sounds like it was very much supposed to have that sort of vibe, with the Demon Spider and so on.
