Hey @seattlea, it's been growing slowly but steadily. Over 20 players this season so far.

I think there are different definitions of fun in Web3 gaming, since it’s more complex and often tied to financial incentives compared to traditional gaming. People also tend to have more fun playing Web3 games in bullish seasons than in bearish ones.
That said, people seem to enjoy the core gameplay mode. The new Showdown mode is more experimental and focused on Web3 elements, but activity levels there are similar.
Ultimately, the benchmark for whether it’s fun is myself. I’m actively playing, and if something doesn’t feel right, it gets removed or changed.
Marketing is important as well and in the works, though I'm more than a builder than a marketer.
