HOW TO EARN DIAMONDS VIA THE HOME FEATURE 💎

For all players trying to grind diamonds, here's a way to earn them through the Home feature:

click Home (on main page) → click Otto (top right corner) → click Set Collection → choose a Set

What to do? :

First, purchase any missing items from a set using Home Coins

Once purchased, you need to order (craft) the item using materials

⚠️ Some items may need to be crafted more than once

What do you gain? :

Completing a set rewards you with 50, 75, or 100 diamonds, depending on the set

Added bonus :

In addition, completing sets increases your Interior Collection level, which grants an extra 30 diamonds per level

In conclusion :

There are 16 permanent sets in total, plus 2 limited-time sets

If we assume that every collection set rewards 50 diamonds upon completion, then:

16 sets × 50 diamonds = 800 diamonds

Find everything under otto (top right corner)

There are 16 permanent sets in total, plus 2 limited-time sets

In addition, completing sets increases your Interior Collection level, which grants an extra 30 diamonds per level

Complete these sets

First purchase the item with home coins

Then order the item (craft using materials)

Earn 50, 75 or 100 diamonds per completed set

800 diamonds may not seem like a lot, but that's only the bare minimum.

Some sets reward 75 or even 100 diamonds upon completion (I didn't keep track of which sets give which rewards).

You also earn an additional 30 diamonds each time your Interior Collection level increases.

The actual number of diamonds you can earn is higher than 800.

Earn home coins b completing home tasks and activities

Buy material via the shop

Exploring "Joker’s Grid" – A Game of Strategy and Surprise

Introduction

"Joker’s Grid" is a tic-tac-toe-inspired game that introduces twists and turns to keep things interesting. Players try to either complete a row, column, or diagonal with regular tokens or by drawing three Red Jokers in a row. The game features a middle control rule and the Red Joker mechanic, both of which add depth and unpredictability to the classic tic-tac-toe structure. In this blog post, I’ll walk through the development of the game across three play sessions and discuss the changes made to the rules to improve the gameplay experience. Play Log

Session 1: First Play with Khoa

During the first play session with my classmate Khoa, we tested the basic rules of the game. The objective was simple: complete a row, column, or diagonal with regular tokens. However, there were no additional mechanics like the middle control or Red Jokers. This session allowed us to get a feel for the pacing and the general structure of the game.

While the game was enjoyable, I noticed that the player who places the first token typically had an advantage. They were able to occupy open spaces more freely and easily set up for a win. There was also no additional strategy involved in controlling certain spots, which made the game a little predictable.

Session 2: Adjusting the Rules

The second play session was with a few friends, and it was here that I made my first big rule changes. I introduced the middle control rule, where players must spend 3 points to move a token to the middle of the grid. This change was made because I realized that the middle spot was becoming a powerful position for whoever placed their token there first, and it felt too much like an automatic win condition. By adding this rule, I aimed to give players more control over the game and encourage strategic thinking about when to move tokens.

Additionally, I added the Red Joker mechanic, where players can draw Red Jokers from the card deck. If a player draws 3 Red Jokers in a row, they win, regardless of how many tokens they have placed on the grid. This rule was introduced because I wanted to create a path to victory for players who may be behind or who hadn't placed many tokens on the board. The Red Joker mechanic provides a plot twist, giving players a fighting chance even if they don't dominate the grid with tokens.

Session 3: Final Play with Leland

The third play session, this time with my classmate Leland, was a test to see how the new rules worked in practice. We both enjoyed the game, and the added layers of strategy with the middle control and Red Jokers made the gameplay much more engaging. After this session, I felt that the rules were solid, so I decided to keep them as they were.

Core Mechanic

The core mechanics of "Joker’s Grid" are Set Collection and Action Points. Players collect Red Jokers in a row to win the game, which is the Set Collection mechanic. Additionally, the Action Points mechanic comes into play as players must manage their points to place tokens on the grid and even move tokens to the middle, which adds strategic depth to the gameplay.

Conclusion

Through three play sessions, "Joker’s Grid" evolved into a fun and strategic game. The introduction of the middle control rule and Red Joker mechanic gave the game depth and unpredictability. The experience of playing with friends and classmates helped refine the rules, and I’m excited to continue testing and improving the game.
