I actually find it really interesting when there ISN'T a reward... Players these days have it so ingrained they'll get things in return, but often it's coolest when that thing IS the experience - so I guess my fave reward is more story details or dialogue from those you helped!
In these turbulent times, we offer you employment, creativity and on Monday mornings - muffins. Yes, muffins. If you know anyone who might be interested in such an offer, please share this tweet!
We are BACK, baby! Ready to start the summer off in style, so let's give you the updates on all things Glowmade โ๏ธ๐ฅณ๐ชฉ
