unfortunately, i have noticed.
that my name is at the end of a lot... of threads, despite my trying NOT to be the only one posting on the forums, that seems indeed be what happening.
i wonder why this game is a so inactive in the first place, and more importantly, why the developers haven't tried to push any sort of promotions. i think that this game could definably succeed in todays market, hell could probably charge $5-$10 for it. and i know this because you have a community of players that have been long standing for over a decade. hundred's of which sink massive amounts of USD into this game. Toribash can defiantly garner attention. and it can still draw in a newer audience, i see that with all the new account made from 2020 and onward. this game has every bit of potential but its like its been thrown to the side. and i cant for the life of me think why.
i honestly think that all it needs is a spark to light the flame for a new generation of players, and it is not at all infeasible.
let me know your thoughts and opinions. let me know if I'm missing and crucial details
and for the love of god don't let me be the only one posting in this thread
you're incredibly naive if you think millions of views on social media + a sudden 1000% increase in concurrent players isn't effective promotion. you have a misconception of what toribash's problem is, it's retention, not bringing people in
retention has been talked about before
not too long ago there was a community outreach thread where ancient asked the community what they thought would keep players engaged for longer
the result of that thread was the addition of a battlepass and quests which actually worked in keeping players engaged for a while from what ive seen the past 3 years or so. i for one was able to make fat stacks of tc just selling the random crap they give you in the battlepass.
clan league also came back which keeps players coming back to the game
i wanna ask you, zorow, now that we have all this random crap in the game like blind fight, ingame quick events where u do parkour or make a replay for tc, quests, a battlepass, etc. etc.
what's something new that you would like to see in the game that would function as a player retention tool that hasnt been done already?
personally i think the game being dead at the moment is both a community and staff issue, but thats a topic for another day since this thread is about promotion and retention after all
thats not what toribash is about its not a moneymaking game
none of the tiktoks encompassed the entire scope of what the game is about either
if you look at the page its all replaymaking stuff with some mma mixed in which is because the guy who runs the page, matarika, has a heavy bias for just those two things
although it wasn't my intentions to be the one coming up with bright ideas, rather a place to gather them from more capable people than i. might have a few subjections.
again it was not my intent to be coming up with ideas, rather just a place for the community to share and discuss potential ideas, but since you asked me. those are few areas that I particularly think could use some work.
