Howdy.
I'm really glad to hear you've enjoyed what's been done with the game over the past 10 years! It's kind of crazy how far we've come, and sometimes I forget just how long that much time really is, lol.
It's true the game's population has dwindled a fair amount over the years, but we are still sticking around. Frankly, it's kind of surprising to me how tenacious our playerbase is.
I still remember launching v1 and its super cramped Light Lab, consisting of roughly 2 rooms and only the barest skeleton of a story. After the Ivory-lead MM8 expansion, people latched onto the more story-heavy content and we (mostly Mike) went back and redid a lot of the older content in a fairly massive singleplayer update, v5b, and the game was forever changed.
The amount of absolute witchcraft our team has been able to mangle Skulltag/Zandronum into doing is frankly amazing to me, and I'm forever grateful to everyone who's worked on this game for creating something that I'm proud to have been a part of. From early supporters like FuPoo, Mr. X, Splendidland, and DTD, to the team we have today, this game wouldn't exist without all of them.
Our next update will have a few features to make new player onboarding a little easier in addition to the easier installation of our recent update, so I'm hoping that if we do end up getting a boost from some content creator, players will have an easier time hooking the game up than they historically have. Needing a walkthrough to get a game up and running is not great for retention, lol.
Ultimately though, thank you for playing, both 10 years ago and now! It really means a lot to me and the rest of the team.
(Yeah, I also hate the new spoiler formatting. It's gross.)
