I really agree with this forum post, whenever I try and get people to play bopimo, they think its a neat game but they usually get overwhelmed with the gameplay, and they question why I even play because of the lack of stuff to do at my stage of the game and plus like mentioned the community can be extremely political at times even tho the avg user is between 14 to 20 at most, one thing I do think would improve bopimo alot is a wiki that is linked and promoted on the site or maybe a video explaining features of the game, like how to build a level etc. (I struggled building a level for afew days for reference) another thing I have a issue with the community is that if you get a small thing incorrect instead of saying "hey that's not correct its this" they are usually made fun of which I think is extremely off putting imagine joining a new game and then being told your a idiot by calling a level a game ;-; another thing is firecat himself, from chatlogs I have notice firecat is very passionate about bopimo to a point it is extremely unhealthy imo, such has not doing school work and chatting on the discord about god knows what for example, dont get me wrong I love bopimo and its one of my favorite games rn because its a mix of roblox and sm64/mario series of games which I rlly love ever since childhood. sorry if this is not typed out very well I am just thinking from the mind atm ^_^ btw amazing post you put alot of my thoughts into one neat post

i think the site needs to point to more community resources in general i think
the discord is the main way people communicate yet it's relegated to a tiny link under the copyright text in the footer
the wiki is "somewhat official" whatever that means, when i think firecat and isaiah should probably agree to make it official and try pushing it a little (i think the reason why it's not is actually cause isaiah doesn't consider it official but i forgot. could be remembering stuff that isn't true)
also yeah, i think some videos for beginners could be cool!! anything to make the youtube channel be useful and to help beginners

also that point about getting people to play the game and them not getting it is so real and true wow :sob:

I totally agree, although I think the website is mostly fine outside of not being able to delete things. (Deleting levels, deleting comments, deleting posts)

People accusing it of being a roblox clone are just brainrotted

yeah that's fair enough

i still think more distinction could help remove the "bopimo = roblox clone" idea further though
plus the game is bursting with personality and stuff yet the site looks kinda basic and generic. it having some style of its own would fit better
