Most of the activities moved to the Discord servers but only about few dozens of users are active. I agree with Kirb, as we grow older, we got more important priorities with real life matters. Most of the newer generations lost the interest to make fan games due to legal fears. Even if we explain, some of them still don't get it or don't read it at all.
Thanks to the recent quarantine, I managed to make a game as an attempt to push the community's manifest. But that didn't helped out much but at least the Game Jam got some traction. I had some difficult decisions whether to leave here but in the end I grew into this place. I'll drop in more fan game to grow an audience base and then move on back to indie games.
It's hard to say where is this community is heading to. I personally would like to see this as a general fan game and indie game development community. But I honestly am not sure how to gain more userbase. I felt like our main site needs serious remodeling since it is severely outdayed but unfortunately I don't know anyone who has the caliper and motivation to create a new and better software. I still thought about renaming the community to "Fan Games Galaxy" since even if we mentioned this is a general fan game community, people would still assume it's a Mario fan game exclusive community. However that idea was turned down last year and I don't want to open up another can of worms.
