Singleplayer?

There should be a singleplayer option. Without something like that "new players" come online, see 0 opponents, log off again with "game does not give me a play" and forget the game. Think about this option, no matter if good or bad, just give new players the chance to see that there is a game.

Yea alot of stuff "should" be done. I dont have time for it.
Tell you what. Find someone who is willing to come up with a 3 months salary, and I will do it.

Not the best strategy to refuse basical things like singleplayer to get more players. But its your game.

basical

Single player is a MUST.
Because new players have no chance vs experienced players so only way for them to train (and play this game at all)is single player.

So no single player - no new players.

Well then pay the 3 months salary Maxine!

That is the basical problem.

On a side note, well done for fixing the freeze problem Mikkel.

There must be some intelligence. You created this game. But i doubt it at the moment.
Your players tell you what is deeply missing and whats the main problem that no new players arrive to the game and all you do is giving them comments like this.
Well, i dont care. But dont ask yourself in another ten years why noone is playing your games. Just keep ignoring the active players.
Looks like you are a marketing genius. While other developers pay people to help them finding out problems of their games you give a shit to the things your players say.
I pity you mikkel.

First off, I am not Mikkel and do not speak for him. What I will say is that everyone knows that he basically (or as you guys like to say basical) designs, runs, debugs, and improves this game (and 3D) on his own. He sees virtually NO compensation for doing this, which is very generous on his part, or as you call it "bad marketing". So Titan, if you want single player, perhaps you could design it and add it on. Or alternatively, with your excellent marketing ability [and your obvious abundance of time], buy into the game and make it what you think it could be.

Oh and perhaps you should thank him every once in a while instead of pitying him.

Its like if I fix one thing, people just want me to fix the next. If I fix singleplayer, people will just ask about something else. Like leagues, automated tournaments, more faces, bodytypes, backgrounds, new punches etc etc.
It just never stops.
I see your point with singleplayer though..but I think you overestimate its value for new players.
Singleplayer was there for years, and it didnt really bring more players in.

Well Singleplayer doesnt bring in more players it keeps the new/old players busy intil more fighters get online. New fighters will come here and there and they need something to practice with. And the fighters we have are ruthless to new comers. So once they get there ass beat they will just leave without coming back. You know they cant get the controls down in a day. If there a brand new it will take a bit to learn the controls and get better. Now Leagues and tournaments is something the community can do. We just need everybody to get on at the same time. More faces, boxer logos, body types, and customization stuff wouldnt be that bad. More variety of customization parts would make new fighters defintely roll in. A well made Tutorial on how to fight is a must. Its like trying to play Street Fighter to be honest with you. Yeah you can set the controls however you like them but it doesnt really show you which buttons does which action. We dont need another background, the one we have is fine. And we dont need more punches, all of the punches that are provided is great.

I agree with john.
I think Mikkel should prioritize good ideas like singleplayer and char customization. No need for more punches and "tournaments" for 3 players...
Game mechanics are very good as it is, now it is just a question of attracting and most importantly keeping new players.
I have seen alot on new faces in the last months but most of them dont come back as they are unable to learn punches or for any other reason.
Also I feel like this could be the real rebirth of OB as alot of old guys are coming back and you have done a great job to fix bugs, so keeping the new players would be critical.

I am just giving my feedback, I like the game as it is, but it just needs more players it deserves.

Another thing, if you decide to advertise this game it probably makes more sense to advertise it for the boxing fans and boxers than the average gamer crowd. I found this game because I was searching for a
" boxing game", not "fighting game" or "action game".

Hey Titan,

I am sorry, I was overly harsh. I just think we should be more appreciative of Mikkel's efforts.
