FireCat absolutely despises the idea of hiring new developers. IIRC He wants bopimo to be just his hobby

As for the moderators and testers: they're pretty much just volunteers and afaik theres no plan on having more of them or having any sort of applications to join

IMO It sucks but I cant really do much

also, Its actually just 2 developers. Leon doesnt really do anything anymore
obviously its his platform so its entirely his choice on what to do with it, but if that first part is true it really does feel like hes holding it back from reaching its fullest (or even just. fullER) potential. also dw you worded it fine, im glad to get an actual response and discussion instead of morons who cant read

The community and devs hold it back, the "if you don't like platformers, then leave" people are prime examples.

The way bopimo is I'd assume that the devs want the platform to be dead, they try so hard not to be a roblox copy that won't add anything that may give them that title even if it helps them (just to get called one anyway)

So until the players and the devs stop acting a fool u wont see anything come out of this game im ngl
im not too active on here as originally stated so im not sure how many community members are against expanding bopimo but its literally undeniable the current formula is not working out, i love platforming and i think platforming being a major part of bopimo should remain, but the proof that the current form does not work is staring everyone in the eyes, unless theres an event going on the max amount of players youll see online is like 3. bopimo will not survive and thrive like it deserves to if it continues to be restrained to what it is now

You're completely right, and from my experience if you were to say this in the discord server they would crucify you for it

bopimo is dead because these cringe chudcels called "real life" and "responsibilities" have been preventing me from keeping this site interesting by harassing domas 24/7

I think Bopimo just found the wrong audience. This is obvious. It targets to people who like platformers, but its demographics are people who want to play Roblox clones. These people come here expecting scripting and fully fledged games, but only see that it’s a platformer, so they leave. These people are asking for cheeseburgers in a Mexican restaurant.

A̶l̶s̶o̶, t̶h̶e̶r̶e̶ i̶s̶ a̶ l̶a̶c̶k̶ o̶f̶ a̶c̶c̶e̶s̶s̶i̶b̶i̶l̶i̶t̶y̶ f̶o̶r̶ m̶o̶b̶i̶l̶e̶ p̶l̶a̶y̶e̶r̶s̶, w̶h̶i̶c̶h̶ a̶r̶e̶ a̶s̶k̶e̶d̶ f̶o̶r̶ b̶y̶ n̶e̶w̶ p̶l̶a̶y̶e̶r̶s̶.

And, there might be a reason for low retention but im not a game designer so i dont know. Might be the long time to make levels with the janky editor, or lack of editor doodads to make complex contraptions. This game rewards you if your level is good-looking, or fun by featuring you, but to my knowledge they don’t get you much coins or exp.

I’m not treating my words as a profound eureka moment discovery since these are basically obvious when you play it for a few months. I’m just giving my two cents.

100% yeah, but i dont think you can really blame people? i feel like the system is so restrictive its only natural to want something more, and i dont even mean super crazy out of left field stuff like fps games or whatever, but i think most would consider the current loop of bopimo incredibly stale, if they dont agree, then id like to know why they arent playing it ever since nobody is ever on. i really think expanding on what you can make is the way to go, although as i said i wouldnt go too far the other way, lol
