So I joined BYOND a while ago and I just came back recently. One thing I remember is people were always around playing. There would always be some Castle games or LRS games going, but lately I haven't seen many games active. Maybe it's just me tho because of school and work I mostly just get on my computer late at night. Anyway whats popular on BYOND these days?

The community isn't what it used to be in 04-06 >_>
|
A bunch of us moved on to college and have very little time to do anything but lurk and post.
| |
Basically the jist of it is that people think its boring, due to the same type of games, and fairly no new games coming out.
| |
The community is thriving, now over 5000 users a day. Which is considerably more than the 1000 - 2000 we had in 03/04.
Several new games are in development, but are still quite a distance off due to time and resource restrictions. A large majority of naysayers have emerged who absolutely love to downplay BYOND's achievements. BYOND 4.0 was released, bringing in a whole new era of BYOND game design. Including the ability to completely customise the Dream Seeker window to suit your needs. Lummox JR now works full time as a BYOND Developer, as in, he's being paid to work on BYOND (at least, I assume this happened between 03 and now. Probably 05 or 06). Several other things that I can't be bothered going into due to time restrictions. Needless to say, now that you're back, stick around. Invite some friends, play some games, learn DM. Etc etc. | |
Rips.

Naruto is pretty popular, and Bleach is becoming more popular by the day.
If you don't like those, get some friends to play with you. Proelium II games are always up, but there are never any players. | |
I've had access to the BYOND source since somewhere around late '03 to early '04 and did some development on it then, but I wasn't working on it full-time until early '07.
