Can't wait for your game! Def take the extra care and time you guys need for you and this group to finish everything the way you want it to be. I honestly don't care how long you take. I understood you were a new group (and no offense) but I tend to not buy anything or put money into new groups until their game is either out or it seemed well developed enough for me to buy it😅.
*ALSO: DON'T INVEST, UNTIL THE COMPANGY IS FURTHER ALONG IN DEVELOPMENT. If someone says they are a student and YOU STILL INVEST, from there on that's your own grave dug*
Don't they have a life too? Yes. Could things have gone smoother? Sure. Could they be a little bit more professional? Ya, but this is also a learning experience for them to take into consideration for the next them around. Also, personally: I quite like it when a developer explains what is going on a little in their lives, rather than keeping it SHORT AND FORWARD.
People also need to understand that the world doesn't revolve around JUST them and what they want. Sometimes despite knowing that, they still act the way they do ya know. So don't take it to heart. People can have multiple priorities, and I do understand that means coming down to creating and having GOOD TIME MANAGEMENT, but unfortunately even with the best time management in the world you can't always account for the worse sh** that can happen to a person alone.
Personally these past few yrs have been rough. But the last 2 being the worst. Just a few months ago I lost a family member, plus another family member I loved deeply a few yrs prior that I'm still not over. My brother also got into 2 life threatening accidents on the freeway from a drunk driver that hit him in 2019 both in the FALL AND SPRING and barely survived either of them and struggled to function in life and support himself because of these two accidents. This year I have an uncle who got COVID and has been quarantined so long now that we don't know if he's getting any better and my aunt is now having to take care of herself and the kids the past couple months. My mom is single and so unfortunately I myself being the oldest am left to helping her take care of my siblings even more so now, despite needing to work to support myself. I lost work hrs due to COVID which also means less funds. So if Parival has also lost work hrs, and therefore funds that also means the game getting pushed back because they need to prioritize living over a project. And I myself personally, developed in the past 2yrs THREE Chronic Illnesses, and a fourth one that may very well be cancer (tbd on that note). So if anyone in ur group has gone through even a 1/4th of that or more, in the same time period...I'm surprised you guys are still pushing through with this game. It's hard to manage life when it keeps shoving you into the garbage disposal...just saying, people should have a little more understanding and compassion for each other in life. ❤
Unfortunately, from past and recent experience the majority of the world just won't take a second to stop and understand you on a decent human being level, and give you a little compassion, love and caring instead. But at least I will and can. You prob won't see this long a** rant/ comment...but if you do:
GREAT JOB YOU GUYS!!!😆😃 I'm sure the game is bigger than people (including urself) expected and I CHEER YOU ON🤗👏🙌. GOOD LUCK! YOU ARE ALL AMAZING! I LOVE YOU GUYS AND THE EFFORT YOU HAVE ALREADY PUT INTO THIS GAME. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK AND HAVING TO DEAL WITH PEOPLE LIKE US, INCLUDING MYSELF. THANK YOU ALL FOR PUSHING THROUGH EVEN WHEN LIFE GAVE YOU ROCKS INSTEAD OF LEMONS. I'm sorry to any one on your team for any losses these past 2yrs, and physical/mental health well being issues, school exams getting in the way, or needing to work and struggle just to survive. I appreciate ALL OF YOU. Take care of yourselves, that's what's most important. Whether you guys need to be more professional or not in your work, taking care of yourself is first and foremost the priority here.
In one of my art classes a year ago I had to draw a realistic face portrait from a magazine. It was a first time for me and getting my portfolio done in time really drove me with anxiety because I wanted everything for all of our assignments to be just right. But it actually allowed me to step out of my comfort zone too, and do something I never would have done in such a short window of space. Lol, idk if my prof to this day believes me, but I did this face portrait over night instead of spending two weeks on it like we were supposed to! So I completely get it! I def look forward to the game's release and can't wait to buy it!
