It comes a bit late amidst some lingering developments we've been working on, however the Twitter feed and Holiday announcement we've been hinting at has been the acquisition of another game, Generals.io

What is this you are talking about?

**Sweetiepie** · 31-01-2018, 13:12

There is only one question to be answered, Omac MK2.

Have you bought this Generals game because you hope to transfer players here, or because you are hoping to transfer players there? Just like the previous game purchasers hoped to do?

Excuse the cynicism but we've seen this kind of 'exciting' announcement before.

Well, the generals.io site looks even less inviting then utopia :P

**Pestilence** · 31-01-2018, 14:22

Cool I guess. Not really anything that interests me so hopefully it doesn't harm this game.

**Jono** · 31-01-2018, 14:24

Hey look! Multiplayer Minesweeper...

The Generals.io site is quite simple at the moment, there are major developments already underway to give it a facelift. The gameplay however is stellar and the Generals community is great.

@Sweetiepie - The goal is actually both. I have big plans to incorporate Generals gameplay into Utopia (100% optional of course) to help engage existing Utopia players, and provide alternate entertainment for new users while they're on the site. Additionally, the Generals community is a vast market of like-minded people who could easily transfer and become long time Utopia players. While I understand the Omac reference, we are not the same and the same fate will not become of us.

Before anyone criticizes Generals I suggest you give it a try. The first time I played it I was MIA for about 6 hours (similar results from all those I suggested try it as well). There is a good group of us on the MUGA Discord server that have been playing for some time now as well. It's quite addicting in a much more simple fashion than Utopia.

If you recall the early days of Utopia with Mehul there were mini-games that you could play to occupy your time on the site, that's what our objectives are with Generals.

Missed you DylanC.

I think this post is off-topic as it's not related to Uto. Shouldn't you be posting in General?

**octobrev** · 31-01-2018, 16:53

Blatant advertising of unrelated sites, programs, or services is also against the rules. Even if moved to General.

**Crystopher** · 31-01-2018, 18:36

Bringing things back on topic, I just gave the game a try and lost about an hour to it. It's surprisingly deep and it didn't take long at al for me to grasp the basic strategies. I think I've found my new time-killer :)

**Panthira** · 31-01-2018, 20:10

Awesome, I love this game! Congrats MUGA!

**Pillz** · 31-01-2018, 21:20

I am legitimately concerned as to the health and wellbeing of MUGA owners, Utopia players, and anybody else who thinks there is something fun about this.

**Panthira** · 01-02-2018, 01:35

Haha it's too deep for Steel!

It's a great game with a worldwide following. It will help draw people to Utopia!

How large is the player base?

I checked out the Reddit, which has 650 members. The conversations make it sound like it's in a similar state to utopia, with its glory days in the past.
