despite having gripes about it, i sorta miss this game in some way. but there's just no point in pouring anymore time into it if that effort goes unnoticed.

will there be a time in the near (or distant) future where this ends up getting itself out of this rut its in?

I believe this game will always have a chance unless its announced otherwise

this game is mainly sustained by the community so I believe for bopimo to be fulfilling we need to work together as a community to sustain ourselves. Events will still happen since those are community made and isaiah is still involved.

i need sustenance

i think for bopimo to get out of its rut, we need the community to start making more good levels more often and improving on them by maybe having testers for the levels as a different pov seeing the level the first time so the owner doesnt make everything overly hard, cus they have probably tested it 50 times, which hopefully makes people give advice. (also maybe try being a more kind and welcoming community so people dont gets harassed out)

Way ahead of you. I've already flooded the front page with 550 daily clear levels and I'll make sure to include 15 static NPCs & 956 unique level paintings in all of my actual levels to make sure 90% of the playerbase can't actually play them

this is why bopimo needs an ai assistant to make levels for you by entering prompts. there can be infinite levels this way. ai is the future of bopimo and the proof is that it’s struggling without it.

AI assisted levels already exist

The only way I can see Bopimo ever getting a bigger player base is if it just has more stuff, more often. As much as I like events, I can't deny that I think that if the focus was on making/retexturing normal hats for the shop I would be equally as or maybe more satisfied. The magic of the shop back in ye olden days was that you could just wake up one morning and there's a good shot that you have a new item or two. Now that rarely happens, to the point that two of the gold items were consecutively released one time. This is why I often push for retexture hats or "filler" updates with patterns and no gameplay additions. It doesn't matter how hyped up it is or how much it completely revolutionizes the game, content is content and I would like more content consistently.

it wont end because i wont allow it to end

feel free to thank me
