I never said Toribash is shutting down tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I just tried explaining how things work. Reaffirming people that you can keep Toribash somehow alive by backing up player textures and forum attachments would be lying on my side because I know that just isn't true. In my opinion, people doing that would only waste their time and end up with a bunch of files they can't really do much with aside from keeping on their drive for memory's sake. Same goes for the hope that someone would be able to reverse engineer and put together at least bits of the required infrastructure to bring servers back on their own. That just won't happen unless you'd stumble upon some sort of a savant willing to build you a whole ass game for a pack of beer.

It may sound harsh to you but I am pretty certain barely anyone in this thread has any real idea of how multiplayer games operate, what the expenses are and so on. Which, to be clear, is completely fair as I wouldn't expect people who just play games to have a deep understanding of how things work under the hood - but it's always weird to me how a lot of gamers just assume some wild shit and then act offended when someone explains to them why those assumptions are false.

Also sorry, but I don't believe I own anyone any explanations neither on my job situation nor Nabi internal affairs. I've worked for the company for over 10 years, I'm grateful to hampa for the opportunity and it's been a fun ride overall. Unfortunately, it's come to an end and I haven't really been a Nabi employee since October.

That’s fair, and I get why you don’t want to go into job stuff or internal details. Not trying to push on that.

More just curious from a high-level perspective: from what you’ve seen, is Toribash basically in a “no active development unless something changes” phase now, or is there at least an intention on Hampa’s side to bring someone in down the line if the right situation comes up?

Sounds to me theres only 3 ways to save toribash

1. throw money an hampa untill he sells you the game


2. a dev needs to remodel tb next to first work, second play and feel as similar as possible.


3. to get some sort of online traction once more to show hampa its a worth while decision to pay a new dev. Youtube videos, tiktok, make it onto some sort of large page, advertisements, the lot.

Ive always had the belief that toribash needs someone like fitmc or wirtual to do youtube videos and tell the history of the game to bring traction back.
that being said ill try my best if anyone has any worthwhile stories they believe should be told or anything at all please send it in to me and ill try make something happen

some random youtuber in the future will probably make a video about toribash as some random lost online game and cover all of the game history.

on serious note, if ever tb server become open-source (which I believe will probably never happen), I believe someone can just host it in some free oracle server instance and run it forever. In the past I did some reverse-engineering (no shady things) on the game client and game server. The game server is similar to chess servers architecture with some physics engine shenanigans since its just a 'turn-based' game if you imagine it. Then update the game client to use that server. If not, I am sure there is someone that can probably reverse-engineer the game server (like how many people is able to create different minecraft servers), I believe the ToriLobby/ToriLLE repository has good coverage on how the game server works.
