• Are there plans on improving the way custom content has to be downloaded or have there been any tries regarding this? because now it seems to be like someone said "NO, I don't want" and so nothing has been done on that topic
  i mean, maniaplanet is so much about community content, right? but you're making it so hard for title packs and custom blocks/items...
• Have time been spent on thinking about adding some achievements/progress to maniaplanet games? An idea about maniaplanet is that everybody is equal and personally i totally support that. unfortunately most of the world doesn't enjoy such environment really much.. people want to progress and to achieve

my thoughts on the 2nd point:
if maniaplanet wants to get successful it will need such stuff.. i could think of a dedicated part of the planet that has progress while it's still possible to play matches where everybody is equal

Thank you very much for this opportunity

When do Multi-environment server come?
With this I mean not a Multi-environment title pack but the possibility to play with all people on the same server without server switching. Just as in United, it worked so well there and was the source of long time motivation.

Will there be steps to increase the amount of player in TM (valley/canyon) drastically? Its just to less players and this alone takes away the motivation of playing.

When will the canyon editor will get official objects?
Or more generally, will the canyon editor will be updated to have all of the features that the valley editor has?

Why does canyon/valley does not use the terraforming possibilitys of storm?
They are clearly superior and easier to use and it would make the transition from building in one title to building in another title easier.

Will there be a main overhaul of the overall UI?
For example give the trackmania scoreboards the same stile than the storm score boards. It takes like eternity to get finally into a game from starting the PC. Why not simply load into a main screen from where you select SM/TM/QM and then make easy clicks to the server browser which only shows the server that you can play on (depending on which titles you have).

When will we get different configuration files/profiles for the different titles?
It should be possible to set different nicks for different titles as well as different key settings for different titles. As the titles need different graphical power, allow us to have different configuration files for canyon/valley/stadium/storm.

1. How Nadeo see the future of ManiaPlanet platform ?
2. Why when the games dying after release (less players everyday) we don't see any important updates to get more people playing ? Why we must waiting ?
3. What are the differences (of course except new blocks) between environments in Shootmania ?
4. Do you already know how to balance the shootmania demo to get more people played with others and bought the game ?

Awesome project!

1) What are the plans to increase the n° of MP players?
The elite free demo doubled (or more) the n° of players, so it has been a very good choice imo i hope you're planning the same thing for stadium.

2) What are the plans to solve the splitted community (tmf, tm2) problem?
- A free demo could let a lot of tmnf players discover tm2 and then they could be interested in buying the game.
I don't know what's better between a time-limited demo and a feature-limited demo. That's marketing strategy.

- Then there's also the competitive community. I've really appreciated that a lot of tournaments are/will be in tm2, but a lot of players seem to prefer tmf. The only bad aspect of tm2 i noticed, it's that there are more bugs (landing and randstein bugs) and this sucks (in particular for competitions). But for the rest it's almost the same game with a better graphic.


Let's make ManiaPlanet bigger! GL

Hi Nadeo!
Thanks to give us the possibility to ask you questions!

1. What's next in ManiaPlanet? I mean a new TM, SM or QM? (or even a big update!)

2. Is there a possibility to have a new type of blocks? Please see this related topic.

3. Do you plan ads or something in order to give Maniaplanet more players?

4. Like others, I think about a back in past for the Main menu. For hi-end PCs the return of the background demo, IG ads for community's stuff like in TMUF. Maybe possible?

Are you going to tease about Questmania in the next months ? (PGW ...)

Cryo will be a new enviromment ? (Including new gameplay, new look ....)

Will it be possible to see the environments from TM Original and Sunrise in ManiaPlanet ?

Will we see a new TM2 title in the near future?

5000 planets to add 3 stations, it's too expensive. Maybe some players don't download titlepack for this reason could it be possible to lower the price ?

When Multi-Enviro and Multi-Title server ?

What are the plans to increase the n° of MP players?

Will we see new blocks for all the MP games soon ??

[pro2type]

1. Will Tm2 Stadium be free to play soon?
2. Do you plan to shut down TMF-Masterserver to force the people to buy Tm2 Stadium?
