yes, it has been for a long time now, its not about mentality, its about accepting that
the lvl dev is great, that is it, the rest sucks, it has around 1 million registered users and 2k in its discord, thats... 0.2%? not considering multiple accs and things like that tho
games dont survive for long unless theyre mmos, pb2 isnt a mmo tho, it doesnt get big updates with lots of content
pb2.5 might ressurect it for a while again if it gets published in steam
flash is really dead tho, what makes this community still a community, is that theres a few new users going in, but each time a smaller number, and they leave each time faster, as the nostalgic childhood memories factor is always less of a thing, the game is boring, but it wasnt, and you search for that feeling, that isnt real, other factor that keeps it "alive" is friendship, im a member of boz and we play pb2 some times, but its mostly not the old players from 2011, and hell, even ones from 2013 are slowly not playing anymore, i think i still have some joy out of this cuz i quit it in 2016, but in 2019 no way ill be playing this, or even using this forum
if i were eric id put the website offline until pb2.5 gets released, theres a discord for communication, the playerbase is getting small, then id go into pb2s dabatase and look for emails, and email every person the steam page of pb2.5 once its finished, if its on steam, if not, no way someone is going to play it, maybe it will last for 2 or 3 years, not any more than that
im probably leaving in a while, i left in 2016 and id say the game was already dead, but i came back, i have a few small things ive never done, actually ive never done nothing in this game, which is sad, ive seen people call me a legend but im just some retarded old guy who cant leave his childhood memories away, i really like the level developer, even tho im not the best with it, all my great ideas of back then werent possible, now that they are, i dont even remember them, or do have the time
anyway in life everything has an end, pb2 also has, you know, playing something for 6 years isnt easy, i mean think of a 18 yo, thats 1/3 of his life
tldr: let this die release pb2.5 in steam it lasts + around 3 years then the pb series dies 100%
anyway, the only thing i would really like to happen befoer i leave is a music system, i did a post on a possible one, idk y but i really want it, it would allow me to have some more fun in the lvl dev, maybe a few months of joy before i leave
