Hello <@&732972008358412360> s!
In 2024, we stopped using Player Appreciation Week (PAW) as the main way to collect your feedback. Instead, we promised a new system to share your ideas. We tested this with Dungeons, where we worked with you to make it better.
Now, weāre excited to announce the first season of Grow Ideas, our new process for Community Suggestions! Starting today, March 14th, 2025, weāll ask for your feedback on three main topics. The best ideas will be voted on by the community, and the winners will be used to shape new in-game features!
Important Note: While your ideas will help us create new features, they may not be added to the game exactly as you suggest. The Development team will use your feedback as inspiration and adapt it to fit the game.
Hereās how it works in 3 easy phases:
Phase 1: Share Your Ideas (2 months)
- You suggest changes to the game based on the topics we choose.
- Post your ideas on the forums or Discord in special channels.
- The Community team will read your ideas and ask questions if they need more details.
Phase 2: Developer Review (2 weeks)
- The Community and Development teams will pick the best ideas that can be added to the game.
-
- Note: If your idea isnāt picked, it doesnāt mean itās badāit just might not fit this time.
- The Community team might ask you to explain your idea better.
- The Development team will use your ideas as inspiration to create new features. These features may not look exactly like your suggestions, but they will be shaped by your feedback!
Phase 3: Community Vote (2 weeks)
- Once the list is ready, itās time to vote!
- Voting happens in-game, and you can choose your favorite ideas.
- The most popular ideas will be used to create new features for Growtopia!
After Phase 3, a new season starts with three new topics, and the cycle begins again! This new system replaces PAW and lets us work together all year to make Growtopia better.
The first season starts on March 14th and ends in mid June. Season 2 will then begin in July. This seasonās topics are:
- Dungeons Improvements
- UI Improvements
- Trading Improvements
What About Item Suggestions?
We know many of you love creating items for events! These ideas wonāt be part of the voting system. Instead, you can share them on the forums or Discord like before. The Community team will still collect them and send them to the developers.
Note: If your item idea adds something new to the game, it might go into the main Community Suggestions process instead.
A Note About Player Appreciation Week 2025
PAW will no longer be used to collect feedback or add changes to the game. There will be no feedback round for PAW, and the event wonāt focus on Community Suggestions.
Weāll share more details as we go. Check out the FAQ below for answers to common questions. Weāll update it as needed.
Weāre so excited to work with you to make Growtopia even better!
Cheers,
~The Growtopia Team
