Just noticed that the download numbers have increased quite a lot recently at TDC if you compare to previous months. Is this due to better games, higher user numbers or new spotlight feature, well maybe all of those, but it's definitely a positive thing and proves that the community is alive at least what comes to downloading.
Take a look at the download list: when was the last time when there have been 7 titles with over 100 downloads among the 30 latest games/apps submitted? We won't probably ever get to know the answer to that, but I guess it's over 3 years ago. So that's not too common.
By the way those titles to exceed 100 downloads in just 4-20 days are:
- Lily
- FIG
- Impossible
- R.P.G.
- Custom Platform Engine
- Baby Ghost Engine
- Desktop RPG
Just said to one of my teammates how it's funny Bernard & Hank 2 was only downloaded about 100 times after 2 months, and now a small game like Lily got downloaded 100 times after a coupla days. TEH COMMUNITY IS RISING FROM THE DEAD.
The predators in the community died because of lack of food, so the little people are overpopulating. Once the number of noobs reach a critical level, overcompetition between noobs will require them to either evolve into actively contributing members or predators, and the excess noobs will allow a re-proliferation of noob-bashing predators (i.e. resurrect TK).
It's population science!

It will be really interesting to see what impact Peblo's competition will have on the activity of the site. And to see what great games people can come up with.
