🎬 Help Shape Crush & Tell Season 2 - Ask the Developers Anything!

QueenB

Hey Community 🤗

We’re starting to plan Season 2 of Crush & Tell, our behind-the-scenes series where Candy Crush developers answer player questions and share more about how the game is made.

If you missed Season 1 - You can catch up HERE 😉

And yes… @Carol-38 before you ask, this is your official chance to put the Crush Play & Show campaign into question form 😄🎬

This time, we want the questions to feel even more connected to the Community, because the best questions come from real players like you.

👇 If you could ask a Candy Crush developer ONE question, what would it be?

It could be about:

Level design
Features or events
Boosters and blockers
Characters and stories
Game balancing
Or anything you’ve always wondered about!

There are no wrong answers. We’re looking for honest, genuine questions from players.

🎙️ Bonus question:
If your question was selected, would you be comfortable recording yourself asking it?

We’re exploring the idea of using real player voices in future episodes, so the developers can hear the questions directly from the Community.

Just add Yes, No, or Maybe after your question 😊

Example:
My question: Why are some levels changed after release?
Recording: Maybe

We can’t promise every question will be used, but we’ll share your ideas with the team as they plan Season 2.

So… what would you ask? 👀🎬

Small note: please keep this thread focused on questions for the developers. If you have an issue to report or other feedback to share, feel free to start a separate discussion so we can keep this one easy for the team to review.

The cast of characters for both Candy Crush Saga and andy Crush Soda Saga has been drastically reduced. What factors resulted in the drastic reduction of the Candy Crush Saga cast? Also, what are the official names and artworks of all the characters?

Context

Pre-covid, we had around a cast of eighty-strong episode characters. Until Episode 48, each episode had a unique mascot (Mr. Yeti is the first to host another episode). From Episode 100 and onwards, almost all episode mascots were returners. The last ones were: the princess on the pea (E75 and E102), the DJ (E219), the professor (E245), Dachs (E358), and finally Seb (E468).

Current characters

We are now reduced to a small cast of characters seen on the rotational maps, and even then it seems to have been reduced further. We have

Tiffi (protagonist, E15 is her first debut as the mascot)
Mr. Toffee (debuted in E1)
Roberta (debuted in E2, rarely seen in events)
Denise (debuted in E3), plus her children
Mr. Yeti (debuted in E4)
Misty (debuted in E5)
Troll (debuted in E7)
Olivia (debuted in E10)
Odus (debuted betwen E35 and 36, Dreamworld mascot)
Nutcracker (debuted in E53)
Dachs (debuted in E358, mostly in events)
Seb (E468)
Licorise (systematic)
Casey the Conductor (systematic)

Possibly left characters

We haven't seen these characters even though they appeared earlier in the 2020s:

Dexter (debuted in E42)
Coco (debuted in E60, also a one-off)
Brian (the ads character, did appear in the inaugural Candy Cup)
Archie (community created character debuting in Candy Creative Season of 2022)

Era

I have been playing Candy Crush Saga since 2013 (my current account is a 2014 one), and I have a streak of over 3600 against my last completed level of 6200.

I have observed the game evolve both in terms of level and art design quality, inspiring me to explore more about the mobile gaming industry. I can divide the eras and periods of the game as:

Flash era (inception to E188)
1. Reality (inception to E35; mobile available anywhere since E15)
2. Dreamworld (E36 to E63; Dreamworld actively developed)
3. Beast (E64 to E188; Dreamworld ended, later removed altogether, homage to 666)
HTML5 era (E189 to E420)
1. Normal HTML5 (E189 to E420; unique map textures per episode)
2. Denormal HTML5 (E421 to E488; episodes reuse the episode 382 episode before)
Systematic era (E489 onwards)
1. Covid (the rotational HTML5 era map)
2. New Saga Map (circa E978, official post on the new saga map made on FB)
3. Fishing Season (E1242, jelly fish revamped for all levels)

Throughout the 2010s, the game was a match-3 in spirit; each episode was meant to be a self-contained arc, and the levels can be difficult but ultimately it is still fair. I frequently missed golden crowns here and there, while I optimized the score by taking advantage of both Flash and mobile. That encompasses the Flash era (2012 to E188) and the normal HTML5 era (E189 to E420).
