Hi, everyone. This is a prototype of a game I've been building for a while.

AI-disclosure:

Coding is 99% written by AI (I'm a developer and I've manually corrected some, but if anything is wrong, I will simply direct it to correct it in a way I would've written it), but every corner of the game is original including art, text, game mechanic and direction. Music is royalty free track used under its free license.

EDIT: All the issues raised by kind playtesters have been resolved! Would appreciate further feedbacks :)

EDIT2: Fixed game pace based on feedback, and vortex mechanic!

Let me be concise.

Stock:

I've been watching Sofi along with its competitors since its IPO and I see a lot of new investors not understanding how the market works.

Major factors that move the stock:

(1) Interest rate / Inflation

(2) Credit cycle

(3) Sofi as a high growth Saas (Galileo)

(4) Sofi as a Bank / one stop shop

Sofi is doing great, but why is the stock down?

The company, by nature, is highly macro dependent. We'll start moving once market senses there will be an improvement with #1 and #2.

Besides the general economy and geopolitical issues, what the market (and the whole world) cares about right now is mainly AI; Sofi lacks a convincing AI narrative, though I'm sure it's starting to utilize it to cut costs

Opinions on consumer products:

Recent UI changes to Sofi Invest made it worse

Relay is inaccurate and unusable.

App's UX needs lots of work (optimization/fixing bugs). Get some testers or something

Predictions:

Over 50% of my portfolio is Sofi. I've been in since $5.5 and I'm not planning on selling until I see the CEO Anthony Noto lose intrinsic motivation or some serious issues with the company itself.

However, I'm also embracing that it could stay flat or go down for another year if AI continues to engulf the narrative (it will) while SoFi still lacks an AI story and macro gets worse (very possible).

Realistically, I think we'll start seeing signs of improvement in 6-9 months, meaning right now is probably a good time to be buying it periodically. And if macro actually starts improving within 15-24 months, stock will move even more violently (upwards if we're still doing great).

The question is how much would you have lost on this AI cycle and how will that impact the cycle of the sector Sofi is in?
