Title: How many Players? Post by: Bennyworld on January 13, 2013, 12:00:45 PM I was wondering, does anyone know how many people currently play this game, and, if nobody knows, is there any way I could find out?, Thx

I can tell you that the windows version of the 20120627 release has been downloaded over 90,000 times. Title: Re: How many Players?

I can tell you that the windows version of the 20120627 release has been downloaded over 90,000 times. I would give a good estimation of maybe.. hmf.... 50-60,000 total from all over Earth and Mars. Title: Re: How many Players? Post by: pspeed on January 13, 2013, 02:36:52 PM I haven't released in a while so I don't know what current numbers are. What I used to use as a gauge was how many downloads happened in the first 24 hours.
As I recall, with the last release I got like 600+ downloads in the first day or something. Then 10,000 for the month maybe. I can actually build tracking into the new version but it gets a bit weird. Title: Re: How many Players?

In the early days, I had an urge to track people who unliked the page down to find out why. :) Title: Re: How many Players?

It's not the tracking that's a problem but having the game always try to contact the main site just to keep track of usage makes me feel a little weird. Title: Re: How many Players?
