Monetization ideas
- Players can pay Satoshis to buy a text tower, a tower that does nothing other than plants a sign in the ground that everyone can read.
- Bribe the players to play. If there are at least n players in a match, a prize pot (small amount of Sats) spawns and is awarded to the winning team.
- Players can buy cosmetics from the in-game shop using Satoshi. When purchased, the dropship drops the items from the sky.
- (So ridiculous I have to do this) Players can shoot a Zap Module which does no damage and instead pays pre-defined AMT of Satoshi to the target.

RogueEngine
Radio Audio Effect
Pass the audio through opus and then filter the high and low end. Opus’ website suggests 6K as the lowest bitrate.

Disclaimer, this sounds like shit. Maybe don’t use this method.
Example
ffmpeg -i ./test.mp3 -c:a libopus -b:a 6K -af "highpass=f=200,lowpass=f=3000" ./test_filtered.mp3
use ffplay to test the filter values
ffplay -i ./test.mp3 -af "highpass=f=200,lowpass=f=1000"
