Thanks! I really avoid reviewing games I don't like, but just happens that I played and reviewed several games that was first time one developer games, and tall were amazing. Next came thisa one, and I was curious as I saw this:
"Kim "Zeromus" Grönlund: Project-manager, original writer, designer
@austingibb, @nulltree and @RangShada: Programming
Luke (@youhui) and @H3AVENLYB0DIE5/antimonyofseers: Art-assets, Luke has also done supplementary writing
@IvyRuth: Art-direction/Art-assistant
@Lomii and Arthur Hale: Music (most of it isn't even in the finalized build, which is a shame because 'tis really good! TwT)"
And I was expecting something decent at least. And really do not think my review was that harsh. Just to point out, I never gave game 1 star rating. Not once in 3 years jaming so far.
I guess you are right. This is sad.
I wish I could be good as you are with words! Thanks, I am ignorig them, but just felt aweful when they started replying to my game reviews. Can npt agree more with all you have said. But anyway, this was once again amazing game jam and I found so many great ideas and games! And right now I am playing your game and it's awesome and so charming! - as soon as I put nicer tune on radio :)
There was, without a doubt, a better way to handle your criticism. We are very passionate about the vision of the game and I think that is what fueled this heated reaction. In essence the game is now more than what we submitted for the game jam. Work is ongoing and even if we got disqualified we love the idea for our game and are continuing to refine it
Hi there, Thank you for stepping in and addressing the situation. I truly appreciate your apology and your willingness to handle this matter respectfully. I’m sorry that your game was disqualified, and I understand how disappointing that can be. However, I felt it was necessary to address the behavior that followed, as it became personal and also affected individuals who took the time to play and review my game. That kind of response comes across as immature and unproductive.
I meant everything I said in my review, and I apologize if it came across as too harsh. My intention was to provide constructive feedback, as I believe that’s how we all learn and grow in this amazing field. I’ve had so many positive experiences with the Brackeys community, and I don’t want this incident to overshadow that.
I’m truly sorry for any part I may have played in this mess, and I wish I could have avoided this situation altogether. That said, I genuinely wish you and your team the best of luck with this project and all your future endeavors. No hard feelings from my side, and I hope we can all move forward positively.
Cheers!
