Obvious dead, plans for a new branding?

[Medicus]

Unfortunately this gane is dead. Nobody is playing it even when they had f2p weekend. And since it is mainly multiplayer nobody is gonna play it. So I wonder, since the game is not bad, are there any plans to market it differently? When you look at Twillight Imperium Mods on Table Top Simulator, you see mods with over 1000 reviews. So the game concept is very popular. (it is a 99% copy of TI) But since this here is marketed as a Stellaris lite, nobody is picking it up. Maybe the dev could sheld some light on future plans. And please do not say u plan to pay another bunch of unrelated youtuber channels to make videos that have no effect.

KINDA DISHEARTENING

The discord is alive and well. Most people use custom games

Not everyone would pronounce a game that has just been released into EA as dead - yet.

I do however share concerns about the visibility ... usually there are e.g. some niche YouTubers presenting these kind of new games; but this one seems to fly completely under tha radar marketing-wise.

no it isn;t the game is really dead, you see a few game launching a day at most, on the hand of a small group of friends that ask others to join.
right now the game is as dead as it can be.
I don't know why there isnt a f2p mode so people that pay can actually get opponents.

And i said the previous post with great pain, i think the game is fantastic and im 16 hours in discord waiting for a game to happen, and get mostly 1 or 2 games, often with not even 6 players, and thanks to some group that needs one extra player.
Hexarchy, another 4x game under an hour released 2 months earlier, have a more active playerbase. And is a more indie , smaller production even.

The Stellaris market with 1000s DLCs is saturated. On top, this is not even close to any Stellaris feel, this is Twillight Imperium. You cannot call a game Call of Duty and offer Chess.

Well guys you heard Waterd103, it's dead. Everyone playing customs on the discord or learning the game in single player better uninstall it immediately.

Yes

Jokes aside, it is impossible to find a game without a premade group. And it is no fun to play with 3 guys, that talk in their discord and u just an outside player.

Then advertise in your friend groups. Join the discord or the subreddit. Start discussions. Help new Players. Everything is better for getting more Games, then Posting Here that its a "dead" Game. Unless you want it to fail for some reason

I did advetise this game probably more than any other youtube channel. Alone in my gaming group 10 guys got the game because of me. This post was about how to handle this in a better way than it is right now.

Game seems designed to play with your friends in 'closed' games, have been playing it exactly what away in our playgroup and it's a blast.

PS. What's up @waterD, it's me; SpicyCrab from the sirlin forums. Small world.

Hi, there :)

Game is dead. My friend and I put in almost 300 hours combined in the month of December playing it. We've tried coming back, but its usual locked lobbies, 100 point 5 player lobbies that take hours to fill, or simply no lobbies at all. Gone are the days of 150 point 8 player lobbies. Still have it installed, but we have moved on to other games for the time being.

I doubt release day is gonna change this. Why would it when not even f2p beta got players in? It needs badly a rebranding. Focus on the right target customer. Nobody is buying a Stellaris light, especially after that Star Trek disaster. But people buy a Twillight Imperium clone.
