The one looming problem with this game..

11.3k DOX  6.6 years ago

Now listen here, im not here to bash the game , in fact i love this game but there is a big problem not just myself are facing. The fact is this is a game where you can build whatever flying creation you can possibly make that comes out of your head and that is the problem. When you are given that much creativity it tends to wear you out and with that problem causes players to leave the game or take ling brakes from the game. I too am a victim of this. Now as i said this isn't for me to bash the game and it isn't the games fault for this but i would like to ask, has this happened to anyone else?..

    Once you built a plane there is nothing really to do with it. A game like this is always in need of new features or the game gets boring.

    I’ve been off for a few months for that reason actually. I just get bored because I feel like I’ve reached the limits of mobile gameplay. Kinda like winning a simple platform game - there’s just not much motivation now.

    I never get bored of SP mainly because I'm grounded all the time, so I never get to fully enjoy the game and lose interest.

    I think that's the only thing keeping me playing SP actually

    But isn’t it kinda what more or less career mode the SR2 would have? @Weaverfish

    @Weaverfish They'd have to make this resource gathering very easy to do or else you'd have to grind to make planes which might just end up in the eyes of the public as filler content.

    You don’t have to necessarily upload a fixed amount of aircrafts as a quota. You can upload whenever you want.
    .
    If it wears you out, find other stuffs to play with. Idk, other games, read, watch, etc... then if you feel like it, come back. If it wears you out again, repeat.

    Its about imagination. Sometimes you got nothing and other times you got something. Don't know anything for a while then take a break. Think of something then come back in and see if you can build it.

    This game I feel genuinely had the potential to challenge minecraft as one of the most popular sandbox games out there, but for some reason it just never took off. I have literally never seen this game mentioned anywhere outside this website. Why is that?

    .

    My only guess, the biggest problem is the world that simpleplanes takes place in. Minecraft saw you gathering resources and spending those resources to shape the world around you the way you want it to be, like building a house. Simpleplanes gives you all resources you would ever need to create one machine, but that machine has no ability to do anything other than transport the player around the map or shoot down enemy planes/ships. Once you actually create the machine, you share it and then stop using it, start creating another machine. The landscape is fixed and static, has been for years. I spent like 95% of my time building and not actually flying.

    .

    If the devs get good money from SR2 and decide to come back to create SP2, I'd definitely like to see the whole bland sandbox map taken out and completely replaced with a different gameplay mechanic. Even a basic procedural world that we can manipulate with resource gathering for parts that we can use in the building process would give a real boost to enjoying this game beyond just creating stuff.

    Yup. If I am not 100% in love with the plane I'm working on, I end up playing Fallout or Skyrim and 3 months go by and the plane never gets made. Then I find a plane I do love and need to build and I come back.

    I'm pretty sure it happened to every dedicated builder on here. I'm actually glad people are taking breaks from this game, it gives them time to do other things in the real world. This game doesn't give some kind of super-high addiction luring puzzle, it's a game where people can have fun for the passion of building things and sharing them with other people.

    I find it strange that having an infinite amount of possibilities for your imagination to take advantage of has resulted in you getting bored...
