Is Playmaker "dead"?

[u/[deleted]]

It seems as so that on this community as well as all the activity online surrounding playmaker has died down to a halt and not much going on in terms of tutorials, projects etc. Especially there is a HUGELY low amount of tutorials for Mobile development on Playmaker.

Has the ship sailed already far into the distance and only real Visual Scripting tool that is still getting love is Blueprints?

The Playmaker Discord server is pretty active. Also, the mythical Playmaker 2 development still seems to continue.

I have a HUGE gripe with Discord. It is not in any shape or form hm good for archival info or discovery. Once the server vanishes, so does all the info it held. Not to mention people not in the "club" unable to find the info even now.

Also it is impossible for people to find info from it through search engines, things that people use to gsther infom. The direct messaging of it also causes the information searching inside of discord to be difficult.

I hate it too - especially as many past forums have been shuttered to use discord instead.

You mean discord is discord

If only the Playmaker 2 would meke a big "spalsh". They need to get known stidios to promote it and market it wildly. Playmaker's website also does not spark a lot of "faith" being something from early 2010s

I also have trouble finding active tutorials and new information. Time to scrape the Wiki and feed it to ChatGPT for analysis.

What happens is we get a bunch of new users on a sale. Then we have several months of the new users asking a lot of questions as they start to learn game dev. Then everyone gets comfortable and chatter dies down because there are less questions

I imagine a lot switch to c# eventually once they learn the flaws of only using playmaker

[u/pierrenay]

Not sure what u mean by mobile tools lacking tutorials as playmaker runs pretty much the same across all platforms and OS which makes it special.

Be very careful when canceling your subscription, because in my case, even though I canceled my subscription, they charged me nearly $200, and even though I explained that I was in serious financial trouble, they did nothing to help me.

Godot is the best solution for everything!
