    Re: How often does anyone play this game anymore?

    I play like once or twice a week, and mostly FFRmania because I'm so tired to play the same old FFR songs over and over again. Also, FFRmania has A VAST AMOUNT of challenges to offer, unlike FFR the way it currently is.

    I still have some goals but at the moment I am balancing between trying to keep my skill level up and letting this go. At this personal skill growth rate I will never reach the top; I just started too late to begin with and not I'm just getting old.

    The community is quieting down and also reducing the level of interest. Updates/development are not happening fast enough to keep users interested. (The raw scoring system has been implemented over a year ago, and still the post-game rank shows the combo scoring rank.)

    But I am still looking forward to the OT and I think it might be the last one.

    E: Etienne, I would still like to see more of your epic scores!

If you aren't already doing this, you can't say you're stuck. Plateauing doesn't really exist, if you aren't improving it means you haven't put in the effort needed to improve, or your effort has been misapplied. It's more of a problem at really high levels, but never totally concrete.

      Re: How often does anyone play this game anymore?

      I'm currently using StepMania for exercise. So I use it a lot, almost every day! In terms of StepMania with keyboard files, unfortunately, it is declining. I think the reason why it's declining is because of one simple reason: Interest.


      My YouTube video that has 5.9 million views won't ever reach 6 million. Why? Because it's lost interest with the public eye. Nobody wants to play with magnets anymore. That was 2012. In the same respect, back in 2010 - 2013, SM was popular. Now, people are moving on with their lives and are spending less time with the game. This is just because the world is moving on, and objects that were once shiny now lose their luster. If this makes any sense, then tell me but that's the way I see this situation.

      To be perfectly honest, I've given up FFR/SM now. It's just something that happens overtime. It's not that we want it to happen, or that we can control that it happens...it just happens.

          I took a notion for it last year and played pretty religiously between October - December, then stopped again. I'd rather play other video games now instead.

              whenever alkaizer plays quake with stream buddies there's always a surge of new players

              but other than that it's rare

                      As for me?

                      Uh... think the last time I touched any form of arrow mashing was a month ago?

                      Or was it two?

                      I had a short burst beginning of the year, I know that much.

                              I play daily on smo, and i think all of you that are worried about the future activity of the sm comunity should at least play online, because even if you want to play alone, it makes other users percieve a sense of activity, and is cool to track scores. Twitch streams also help if you have a decent hardware.

                              Regarding stepmania subforums on ffr, it is true they are getting more inactive everyday, but i can see that because the forum format is maybe too oldfashioned, the activity was been splited into a great ammount to the discord chat i guess

                              And +1 to wafles and hi19hi19, the main problem is the online play, and to be fair, wafles did sml, which was a great thing for the community, even if it wasn't directly related to sm development.
                              My latest works:

                              BCMP-ish (6key)
