A lot has been written, on multiple topics. We opened the discussion with a large scope, on purpose, to allow open feedback. We’re sorry that it created a few mixed signals.
Nothing is set in stone. We’re brainstorming internally and with the community to evaluate our best options.
Here’s a recap:
- A lot of core members of the platform are competitors at heart, believe our regular competitive challenges are what makes CodinGame great and would like us to organize more of them.
- According to our metrics, the learning and social aspects of our events are more powerful than the competitive aspect so we’re trying to develop the formers and tune down the latter to attract and retain more players.
- Some members would like a better knowledge of what activity to do next (because it’s popular/hot for example). However, due to the large traffic that CG has, the most played games are the first easy puzzles.
- We’d like to organize more regular events in the community but the current “community contest” format is not working for multiple reasons. Thus, we’d like to try a different format, closest to the Puzzle of the Week format, and with different types of games (puzzles, opti, multi, Clash…).
- This new format would be advertised on the home page and would have its dedicated page. It would allow us to put a better spotlight than today on some of the newly validated community contributions.
