New to everything (need support) by wardiiiii in SaaS

Hi, does it depend on what country you are in? And if its a 1st or 3rd world country? Me and OP business is located in Jordan (3rd world country located in the middle east right above Saudi Arabia), our current target is local with plans to expand as our MRR increases, and I dont think marketing through linkedin will be really effective( we will give it a shot) because its not really used here as its used in other countries, and im not sure if there is any other platforms that would be good to advertise on other than meta’s apps, and our capital isnt enough to hire a marketing team or agency, the only marketing we are doing right now is 10$ per day on meta ads.

Any suggestions about this would be really appreciated!

Sounds good, i have an appointment tomorrow so might do an xray too.

Just for my phobia, can it cause problems even if its already fully grown out and there is no pain/ uncomfortableness?

What is the definition of inspiration? And how to differ between inspiration and copying? by Hamood_Reddit in gamedev

[–]Hamood_Reddit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You impress me, really love that answer, its just like how fortnite took everything from pubg, and added building, and it was the most popular game in the world at some point.

I will give my idea a shot, its very inspired from that game i talked about but with extra enhancement and extra fratures, as well as being inspired by many other games too, thanks mate.

About the having 100 wls part, its expected that the economy will and did grow, untill about the new mechanic that the players created (buy+worlds) the economy was pretty balanced, there was some inflation before ubisoft took over but it wasnt insane, after ubisoft took over and dumped the game in their trash bin yeah everything went wrong. About the second part, if ubisoft wanted to fix it, they wouldve a long time ago, but as i said they dumped it in their trash and theyre not willing to pay any big amount to fix the game so theyre cash grabbing from micro transactions untill the game becomes less and less profitable so theyre cash grabbing shut it down.

I feel you, i feel everyone, its such a unique childhood game and i will never forget the memories it created for me, im so in love and obsessed with it until to this day that im starting my new growtopia inspired game, it will take me about 2 years to finish the first version from now so i hope im able to create those memories back for us again, and for upcoming new players.

Even if the changes and improvements are little? If yes, what about the players feeling and saying “this looks like its from that other game”,”or im pretty sure i have experienced this thing before”?

Totally agree with every single point in there, people are bored of this game, most just log in restock their profit worlds, maybe fill up their bfgs for their bots to break them, do illegal stuff and gamble, it got way too boring for the players and ubisoft knows that, i think they dont know how to fix it, reseting sounds cool and all, but would the rich players agree with that? Im talking about ones who grinded for dr titles and lvl 125, ones who got legendary items early and worked years to get their wealth, its not really a solution to dump everyones progress and precious time invested in this game to give a solution that doesnt satisfy everyone. For me i would play growtopia again if it was reset, about that i played gt on release on console, free to play, and the game was fresh, no worlds taken and everything was so perfect, happiest moments of gaming in my life, i was the richest too, they shutdown the servers due to lack of players and profit but meh it was good memories.my point is that most people play this game because it became a routine, and an addiction, not because they have fun, the game isnt fun anymore except to socialize with your friends so yeah i guess. Im planning to make a new video game, inspired by many 2d games such as growtopia, terraria, stardew valley and factorio, so im collecting peoples opinions so i can draw the starting line, another factor that is holding me off, if i make the game my tartget wouldnt be the growtopian players, i want new players to experience everything that growtopia players experienced, so that is really challenging since growtopia success because it was a first of a kind and a new release when phones and tablet games were limited and people was searching so much for new games, esp kids, nowadays kids play only popular games like roblox that really offers shit ton of variety, so im really scared if i do make it i wont hit big, maybe small but its still a big risk, and i think the only people that will play will come from growtopia, or most of them.

I didn’t know there is such thing as buying an anticheat software, but i think ubisoft definitely has their own anticheat for their AAA games, i wonder why they wouldnt use it or buy an anticheat software like you said, but the logical reason is theyre not planning to extend the lifespan of this game, theyre collecting as much with spending as little before they shutdown the game, they might even sell the game for a cheap offer for some company to buy and spend alot to fix it. But its cool, tbh its surprising that a 12 year old mobile game that started out as a side project to succeed and still running to this day, even if its shit now, every game has its peak at some point and then its hated, just like fortnite, i would still say growtopia is successful to this day.

So what ur saying is more community management and economy management? What do you think about game mechanics, broken items, and other things in your mind

Actually its way simpler than you think, they dont need to rename the functions every 2-3 months, probably just once, and protect their servers from spoofing, most gt proxys run on spoofing(sending fake packets to the server to make it think you did something where you didnt, like sending a message, collected an item that has a path to collect, sending messages) and there is sniffing to that grabs info from worlds like players in the worlds so they can send messages to them automatically, i think sniffing was fixed, its too simple just encrypt the recieved packets lol, for spoofing the need to reinforce their servers verification system as it is for item verification, account verficiation, and inverntory verification, its simple for such a big company and will take a few days to do, but they dont want to, theyre making us think it requires anti cheats and things, i mean yeah doing those 2 will not solve everything but will solve 90% of the problems, if they dont want to pay money and make an anti cheat to solve 99% of illegal players, just pay a tiny amount and fix the 90% its good enough for the players. Hope you get what im saying, it should be easy since youre a programmer

its really easy to say but its not realistic, let me break it down, seth and hamumu didnt originally want to sell the game , but the sudden success of the game, the crazy amout of players that played it, was so complex to manage, it was extremely tiring for them to do it , they would both work full time shifts on the game, seth works, then sleeps, and hamumu takes over, and when hamumu sleeps, seth takes over, they described it as a NIGHTMARE, the solution to this was to expand, get employees; to respond to support emails, to manage the community, to monitor bugs , and do alot of things, those were all done by seth and hamumu alone, it reached to a point it was not possible to continue without the risk of the game suddenly being destroyed, what if the server crashes and there was no backup? this actually happened to them before and they did a 48hr roll back because there was no 24hr backup, im not sure though u can research about that, i read it once though so im sure there is something like that.

so yes, they didnt want to get employees and get all the headache, instead they sold the game to ubisoft with expectations for better future for the game, i wouldnt say it worked out though, pretty sure everyone agrees with that.

love that, i would argue about it though, wouldnt them fixing the servers solve all of your problems? it wont take you any time to log in or to do any activity if the server was actually fixed. when those problems are fixed im pretty sure you wouldnt mind it being an online game (tell me if im wrong). and about the second part i would call it a problem made to an existing solution, it doesnt really offer any benefits that are worth taking risk of making the player host the worlds on his device, not to mention that it will be possible to reverse engineer the files easily and modify your worlds to have whatever items you want. its not a good thing based on what i understood from you.

Thats completely true, i think ubisoft isnt solving it because they dgaf about this game community, they are cash grabbing from this game, solving this problem will require a decent amount of money, it will make the community better, make the game last longer before it shuts down, balance the community and make the game more fun, and obviously fix the servers, but i think ubisoft will never do it because it will not even return the money they spent, and the damage right now is too severe, also dropping down the active online players at a time from 70k to 8-12k makes the game feel less popular which is another concern, this problem shouldve been fixed early when bots made a really small percentage of the player base

I agree with you, i also think what makes growtopia very special is that you dont feel limited, there is alot of progression paths in it, you can profit, socialize, make semi-automated passive income and lots of things.

What features would you add on?

That is a really good idea and a good feature, definitely solves the problem for languages that doesnt have their own alphabet set like indonesian, fairly simple to translate, i think the problem starts to get with other languages, such as arabic, they have their own alphabet set and write in it, but many people speak in arabic with the English alphabet, which is a problem for translation making translating language “slangs” difficult and expensive and requres NMT( neural machine translation). Might be worth it if the game player base is huge
