As you mentioned, the official sites have not seen any new content since @Martin Magni announced that he was going off on a much needed vacation. I hope nothing bad happened to him. Although, he was apparently "last seen" on this forum on Tuesday at 12:12 PM.

 

@Martin Magni pinned the following text to the top of the official Mekorama Facebook page: "Someone already asked your question, and I already answered it: http://www.mekorama.com/faq/ (But you're still a beautiful and unique snowflake!)"

In the FAQ, he listed both this forum and the www.mekorama.net site - which is essentially only a repository site for uploads/downloads - no forum.

Despite the FAQ and the above message being the first thing people see, the most common comment/question on pretty much every post (including the one above!) is "where can I get more levels?"

Maybe better for those people not to find this site.

So, perhaps, what we could suggest is for @Martin Magni to place a title page in the game with a quick identification of both the four other pages in the game (especially the menu page) and some of the online extensions to the game. Yes, there technically is a fifth page that only has Mekorama.com written on it, but you have to hold that page open in order to read it.

 

I just found another website (a Facebook group) that seems to be pretty active: https://www.facebook.com/groups/554575428066579/

I'm not sure what @Martin Magni 's plans are regarding the evolution of the game. He might want anyone and everyone to create new and personal offshoots for the game. Personally, I think he should consider encouraging one big central repository that he controls and can get some official help to curate. I hope the reception to the game by the public met his dreams and that he is not underwhelmed or overwhelmed.

 

I'm not a fan of Facebook either. It might be easier for the lazy majority, but it pales in potential to what a dedicated site like this one can do for the game. I think a serious marketing campaign to direct the future of the game will be needed soon. That, or we all just take the best aspects from each site for ourselves.

 

Thanks, I have the Google+ link in my list above too. Glad to know that it is active.

About the duplicates, sure that would be nice if there was a way to search card titles and authors in the app. As it stands now, with nearly a thousand levels in my app, sometimes I need to upload a duplicate temporarily (to check something out) as it is faster to do that than go try to hunt it down by thumbnail alone.
