Why are the devs doing that | Super Animal Royale | Page 1

Super animal royale is a unique game i dont think i have to explain that to anyone but why pls tell me why are the devs not giving any bigger updates than those scheduled events that repeat every year? Why are they not doing new maps or actually ingame events like fortnite used to have. And pls tell me why is the SAR team not trying to promote their game? This game has so much potential to blow up and go popular js the team is not deciding to give it the chance of promotion or to promote it the right way, we have streamers, tiktok, youtube ads etc. why is nun of it rlly there?

I js wish to see some bigger updates than „oh yea theres a new skin or cosmetic“ and especially i wish to see the community grow.

#

Oh yeah not to forget i have seen how people sent weapon ideas with a custom texture they created to the SAR team. The SAR team got the community helping them without any changes and i think its unfortunate that SAR is not taking those suggestions i get that a lot of ideas might be js game breaking or too stupid but some ideas i have seen especially the past year are rlly good.

#

I mainly made this post cuz i would like to know what others of the community think abt it.

a lot of things address here
1: sar doesn't want to be like fortnite
2: the mooseletter exists, which is a monthly progress update on the new SAW update

As far as bigger updates go, the reason they haven't had any recently is that they're working on the Super Animal World update. This update itself will be pretty big and is something they've been working on for a while. There have been mentions of more frequent updates after the initial part of SAW comes out. It's essentially letting them set the framework for future features and updates.

I never said that sar should be like fortnite but rather take a example of game what did it right with Events and as a positive example.

the devs are definitely listening, that's for sure

#

maybe not to every suggestion, but they know what people want

#

for example, I'm pretty sure they're brainstorming ideas on how to improve the shop, since that's been requested

I rlly hope so cuz its been rlly a long time since something exciting happened in the game

#

It is lame to see every year the same repeated cycle of time events and it adds only skins etc.

#

There will be exciting things coming soon but its hard to develop with smaller teams with lifes outside of it, they're working on the dlc and its the main priority for awhile

#

just keep that in mind

Thats why i think its good to start promoting their game better since it could increase their income and get some extra developers who would share the same passion and vision as the owners / devs have right now

woven lance Apr 3, 2025, 3:39 AM

#

iirc none of the devs are paid to work on it so i doubt that they would even do that

#

its sorta a passion project typa thing

Its good that this is a passion project but at the same time its a lot of wasted potential

#

do also think that even if they promote it more that never guarantees more players and even more players doesnt always equal a carp ton of money

#

as much as i'd love to see it grow more its kinda unrealistic to just say "get more devs"

#

thats my piece on it :p

Never underestimate promotion. A good example is roblox games that made it big because it got well promoted on tiktok yes you can say that roblox has already a big set community but daily there are over 1000 games uploaded on roblox and only a few get numbers that reach to a 100 players. It is not guaranteed to get players i agree with that but you gotta be also active with the promotion to get a higher chance that one video or ad blows up then people most likely would give the game a try and some will stay and some wont.

#

A right set promotion helped out so many games and products

woven lance Apr 3, 2025, 3:46 AM

#

its 50/50

#

its worth a shot BUT it might not work

#

woven lance its worth a shot BUT it might not work

Thats why consistency is so important in promotion

woven lance Apr 3, 2025, 3:47 AM

#

overall like i said i would love to see more done with it but as a solo dev for my own works i do get the troubles

#

not tryna say they shouldnt try to promote more just saying what i can

#

tis all

grand quest Apr 3, 2025, 3:48 AM

#

woven lance not tryna say they shouldnt try to promote more just saying what i can

I mean i wish they even try to promote

#

Since sar has a rlly cute art style etc. and is especially popular for couples cuz of all the matching outfits etc. there would be a bunch of people interested

#

Js the idea of a cute looking game with animals and then they use guns on each other is funny and interesting yk

woven lance Apr 3, 2025, 3:49 AM

#

i say they should wait till SAW is out to do more promo wise, im not one of them so i dont know if this is the plan BUT im assuming they're doing that

grand quest Apr 3, 2025, 3:49 AM

#

I hope so

They do have a tiktok and posts their short videos on there.

#

Also like said before there will be a big update, be patient, game dev is hard work

gusty stirrup They do have a tiktok and posts their short videos on there.

I saw that but how i said consistency is important to get into the algorithm last video posted was last year sadly

#

I hope the SAW update changes everything

#

And once its out they fully focus on bug fixes and promotion

gusty stirrup Apr 3, 2025, 4:03 AM

#

Last post was only in December. Plus I know the people who animate those videos are busy working on saw so there probs isn't much time to make a lot of them

#

I do understand where you are coming from

gusty stirrup Last post was only in December. Plus I know the people who animate those videos ...

I think its a terrible idea to keep the promotions animated yk since animating consumes a lot of time. Im not saying they should do quantity over quality but there are good ways to promote it that has the quality but is also faster produced

#

gusty stirrup I do understand where you are coming from

Yea i get your points too

#

I hope the marketing of the SAW update be amazing

#

To see a lot of new players be so amazing

#

And to get the lobbies full with players and not bots

#Why are the devs doing that
