Battle For Google Sheets may be discontinued soon, but I don’t want that to happen.

Yes, I’m still here. However, I don’t think there’s a reason to stay if nobody cares. It seems although B4GS received a fair amount of support initially, it never gained traction and we have not progressed past the second turn (if you can call it that). There are several factors that might have contributed, but knowing exactly what isn’t trivial. On one hand, it could be because people forgot I even existed, but it could also not be.

The primary reason is likely how little the game is explained, which definitely doesn’t help given that this game is supposed to be long-term and strategy dependent. I did intend to simply explain as I go, answer any question to the best of my abilities and document things as needed, but that really isn’t enough. That, and probably the fact I am not great at meeting deadlines ;-;

Before I go ahead and discontinue B4GS, I want to ask players something: What needs better explanation? What should be added to improve the player experience? How can I make B4GS more appealing?

If B4GS does not receive sufficient activity, I will be ending it on August 1st. Do people care? Hopefully. I cared about B4GS and I still do. I don’t like seeing games with potential die and get shoved aside to be forgotten. Is this a long rant full of copium about how I can’t keep a single internet game alive? Probably. It ain’t the end of the world.

maybe pause and resume after holidays?

The problem is regaining interest when the time comes. I took a fairly substantial break and my posts haven’t been getting as much attention (not that they ever were to begin with)
