Heyo, as I got mentioned here I feel as though it’d be important to clarify a little bit: Everything I stated about the modern Angry Birds community is actually still on the English side of things, actually! And about the serious game players part, it’s… half and half? Sort of? By that I mean that just like most places nowadays on the internet, the general casual talk is definitely on the more informal side, however when you look at the actual playable / viewable projects that people have made? Stuff’s incredibly impressive anyway (seriously there’s a LOT of people that are making insanely impressive Angry Birds mods that are essentially their own separate slingshot games entirely, and at pretty high level counts for some of them too! I’d suggest checking them out if you’re interested, though perhaps I can mention them by name if need be), and I can confidently say a lot of people DO still deeply care about the franchise in every aspect, not just the games but also the official shows and merch and lore. Is everything still in the early side of things? Sort of, at least on the mod aspect, there’s a lot of mods that are still in heavy development due to most of this stuff being made entirely from scratch besides using the actual games’ main framework, but it’s still pretty neat stuff regardless honestly. If I have to clarify even more stuff though, please do let me know! I’m all ears, and even though I’m far from an authority on this sorta stuff (just someone that’s looked a lot, not the most knowledgeable by far), I still have seen the community band together do commit a lot of pretty neat things that even go as far as to surpass what Rovio themselves have done sometimes honestly. That’d be all from me now though, so yeah!
