Hello, I started playing osu! a lot about a year ago, and I don't have any knowledge of the game prior to the year that I have been playing. Has the player base of Osu! grown over the last year, stagnated, or has is decrease?

Just a friendly question, have fun on Osu!

I think that it's gotten more popular, it's pretty early in osu!'s life cycle.

Osu!world cup will probably bring some more people to osu! as well.

Google says Osu! was originally launched in 2007, that would make the game 7 years old. What do you mean by early in osu!'s life cycle?

I meant that it isn't at the point of max popularity yet, I'm saying that it's early because in my opinion, I think that osu! is fairly obscure right now, and that it has a long way to go in its 'life cycle'.

By the way, you avatar is streched on sides, you should find a new picture or resize the current one.

I think he meant by the game development-wise

It's growing plenty--probably faster than ever--and is huge in certain parts of Asia, but in the West, I still regard it as more of a massive cult. It doesn't crop on websites that often, its ground-up iOS adaptation didn't burst onto the scene like less deserving games have, and it still feels pretty obscure when I mention it to friends and such. Growth-wise, there's so much room to get bigger and bigger and it's only going to do that regardless of how happy or unhappy the community is.

I'm pretty sure user wise, the game has been growing at a consistent rate.
I can't remember where I got these figures from, but I believe that there was 150 000 active unique monthly users?(probably wrong).

I don't know anything about LoL or Twitch, but I heard some remotely big names from LoL sometimes play osu! on breaks or w/e, and that's how random people, even from my school, have heard of it.

The amount of casuals is increasing day by day, but there isn't really any growth when it comes to relevant people
(well i guess casuals are relevant for peppy as they pay for supporter but they aren't rellay contributing to the community)

Is it wrong to be casual? =(

Osu is timeless because of the nature of the game, all content being player created to the point where only 1% of your osu! folder is stuff programmed by peppy but instead skin/beatmap images, songs, beatmaps, etc all compiled by other players, it's self sustaining, never to get stale or boring so long as the community contributes

if anything , that number might be pretty low, considering most people will be on twitch instead.
silmarilen
it has been that way for the past 2 years, i doubt it will be different this year
Therieri
