Hey all,

It's been over a year since my last post. I'm not active on forums (and in atWar, in general) myself. Still, after being part of this community for over a decade, I appreciate that our dear Afterwind (the former name of atWar) is up and running. In this game, we met many great friends, fought against great rivals, and made great memories. It is still active in 2023. You can still log in and play a game. I recently started to play more and more to remember how much I enjoyed playing this.

There may be fair complaints about game updates. But I appreciate that I can still play this -- If you are a millennial or even an early Gen Z like me then you surely know the gigantic amount of Silverlight and Flash games that ended up dying or being shut down. Think about it -- atWar has been running for close to a decade and a half! Not all the games can claim that much success.

Thanks, Dave, for keeping the game up and running. Thanks, Staff, for keeping the game going. Between the loud minority, know that I appreciate the effort you guys are pouring into this game.

As long as atWar is running -- I have hope that better times will come. Many of my friends moved on. It gives me nostalgia to think about Glenn, Spart, acqui, njab, and many others. But I know our memories will remain. A group of people has not moved on and remains bitter and resentful. Honestly, there's not much I can do about it. I hope the great memories we had in this game are not overshadowed and tarnished by certain events.

Let it be peace. For as long as atWar is running, and forever more.


Thank you Clovis, I appreciate that.

I will definitely keep atWar running. I'm in it for the long run. And I will get back to fixing/developing/marketing/all the other stuff as soon as time allows.

How will you restore the game to its glory days


No idea... you seem to think I have some sort of magic wand....

Γραμμένο από Skittzophrenic, 12.04.2023 at 23:22

you said you are working on another project and that AW is just when you have time. Is that the route you will go with?


Yes... atWar has always been side a project... that's nothing new, I'm just busier now than usual. As fun as it would be to work on atWar full-time, I have bills to pay and I like not being homeless, so yes I have to do actual work (read: not atWar) to make money.

Γραμμένο από Skittzophrenic, 12.04.2023 at 23:22

Do you want to neglect the game even more than it is?


No, of course I don't want to "neglect" anything. I'm here answering your question, aren't I?

Γραμμένο από Skittzophrenic, 12.04.2023 at 23:22

Why not just cut the cord and put the game out of its misery then.


Why would I shut down atWar? That makes no sense.

Γραμμένο από Skittzophrenic, 12.04.2023 at 23:22

This game can only go for so long without proper dedication to it.


I keep it running. I think it will be just fine. You act like I'm never coming back!

Γραμμένο από Skittzophrenic, 12.04.2023 at 23:22

I would love to see it thrive again and have all my friends that I made on here back.


We all would love to see it thrive again. Like I've said before, I know so many of you are connected on Discord or social media outside of atWar, there's nothing stopping you from inviting your friends to come show up for a game whenever you want... it's not that hard.

It's funny how short people's memories are. They forget how bad things were when I took over in December 2018. How long had the game been totally neglected up to that point? How many things were totally broken and never fixed by the old devs?

People were grateful when I came in and started fixing things. There's still a long way to go, but nobody can deny we made a lot of progress from 2019-2022... I think it's fair to say I've done more than the original devs ever did post-2014.

But as soon as the progress stops for a bit, out comes the hate. Nobody says "is Dave okay? is he still alive?". Instead, people accuse me of "not caring" about something that I obviously care a great deal about.

Well, I forget I'm dealing with a lot of kids here. Kids who don't know and don't care what it means to have responsibilities... to have employees who depend on you keeping a business running, or family that depend on you to take care of them when they're sick... or any of that stuff. All kids care about is if they can keep getting what they want from you. I guess I should know better than to expect more from atWar at this point.

Anyway, I'm still alive, not that anyone asked, and I'll get back to work on atWar when I can, just don't know when that will be yet.

can you give us an update/time horizon for future updates soon? I would love to have an idea about when new tutorial might be implemented. I think we'd all understand if it's not until end of year, but all of us would appreciate having something to look forward to


There are not going to be any more updates on atWar until I get done with this other project I'm working on. I don't know how long it will be. Could be another 6 months. Could be 2 years. I don't know. All I know is it won't be forever. I do enjoy working on atWar when I have the time.

I have seen several children/teenagers who watch youtubers a lot, these, at least in Italy, make many series or in any case make various videos on games by advertising them and there are many children and often their parents who see them, it might be an idea to ask some of them if they want to try to make a video about this game?


In my experience everyone we've asked wants money to make a video, and the ones we have paid didn't bring in much return on investment. However if you know someone willing to make a video for free, go ahead and ask them! They don't need my permission, just do it

Edit: I should say that we do have still our affiliate program I will happily pay out $$ earnings for that.

If you don't mind me asking how expensive do these ads run up on bids? Are we looking at PPC or Direct Traffic.


I don't remember the numbers off the top of my head. We did PPC ads on Facebook, Twitter, Google, and yes Pornhub. Also did some YouTube sponsorships (most notably Kings and Generals) and some paid Instagram posts. Not a single one of those ever achieved a positive ROI.

Can this game be promoted a little bit on instagram, facebook, tiktok etc. so we could get more new players and get some of old players back.
If this trend continue, game will be dead and there will be no more players.
We couldnt fill game of 6 people in scenario for 3/4 hours.(btw this is not first time it happens)
Please consider this idea.
Thanks


Go ahead and promote it, no one is stopping you

I suspect you mean you want me to pay a bunch of $$$ to run some ads. If so I can say we already tried that and it was a huge waste of money.

The game is designed to allow city transfers to your allies by emptying them (0 troops) so your ally can claim them.

If your ally takes them without permission, learn from the experience and be wary of that particular player. The more experienced players simply don't engage in this kind of behaviour, but at your rank it can happen from time to time, so just be cautious and leave a troop behind in all your key cities and capitals.

I agree with that, imo perma mutes should be applied, no perma bans

But thb I doubt it would be efficient, since most of these folks are just done with the game anyway, and didn't got ban but deleted their account.

Literally every person we tried this with (it wasn't a lot), just skated around it with alts or other means to continue the same things that got them muted in the first place.


Pretty much all the tools we have can be bypassed so I don't agree.

It's even better to permamute except private channel, since then the morons have an incentive to be a little bit more reasonable

Why do anything at all then if that's your argument? The thing is, if someone is permamuted, then they likely have 0 control over themselves. Only bans work, they aren't perfect as you stated, but it's better than muting for a habitual problem player. It's not like we didn't try what you're suggesting.

I'm for giving any reasonable player that's truly regretful another chance*. Especially given enough time after their ban. The bar for appealing couldn't be lower without allowing people to insult us and ask for an unban in the same paragraph.

I've been listening to him for 10 years, he's always talked about the same shit. The only thing i really hated was how much he talked about covid, it's the first thing he ever took personally and didn't shut up about it for 2 years. He actually tried being funny the first few years, but eventually all the weed took away his humor imo.

Go MOS. Good defense with an even stronger attack. PD doesn't get defense bonus against marines.

MOS is good against anyone who isn't too experienced with it. Most good world players can't be killed with MoS alone. You kinda have to play it like a weaker PD with a few marines sprinkled in for any decent effect.

I consider myself to be one of the best players at this game yet I'm recently getting frustrated not being able to counter players who either use Imp or PD and just auto produce infantry and rush me with stacks of 80-100 every turn. I cant combat that especially that my fav strat is SM


Just to add to this, first turn, try to figure out who might be imp/PD. (Take 20 seconds or so to read the battle reports of all opponents first turn.)

If possible, help kill these players first, because they are vulnerable to SM more in early game before they get their economies going. Once they have a strong economy, there is little you can do to overcome a skilled inf spammer as SM, other than click your surrender button.
