This looks cool!

250K players is impressive. Are those real players or bots?

Interesting to know more about performance too, what is your rate of update per second? How long does it take to process a tick?

Do you have a tech blog? Would be really interesting to learn more.



You might have noticed I already took a looong time to formulate a reply to your questions. And I'm still not sure how to approach them, so I'll reply to the last part first.

Currently I only have my livestreams as a public presence. I find it a very comfortable and pleasant medium for conveying who I am. It lets me share stories and ideas including non-verbal cues and that's a major plus for me. So if you want to learn more, definitely subscribe or follow on YouTube and/or Twitch:

I honestly appreciate talking about technical things a lot, even though I might be playing what appears to be a silly video game. As for streaming: I just did three consecutive days, but will take a short break. I'll be back this Thursday.


Out of the almost 284k accounts, nearly 25k of those accounts have no gold, so probably logged into the game and logged off, without playing the game. And 34k have less than 1,000 gold. Some of the players have 100s of accounts, and those are mainly for claiming land, since each account can only claim 64 plots of land.
