I assume you're talking about the story when you mention the politics, and I'm not entirely clear on how it "ruins" the game. The creative mode lets anybody instantly bypass the story and provides full access to every level and mutation, so there's nothing to prevent anyone enjoying the game without engaging with the campaign.

I had a moral dilemma in the middle of developing this game because I felt like selling a game full of mindless violence did nothing to make the world a better place, and I wasn't okay with that, because there's already enough mindlessly violent games out there. I wouldn't necessarily argue that the story of the game does make the world a better place, but it does help contextualize the  violence in the game and makes it all a little less mindless, if not more difficult to digest.

As an artist, I'd much rather create polarizing work because that's infinitely more worthwhile and interesting to me.  Making this game independently meant that I was free to externalize the difficult conversations I was having in my head and share them in the game, which some people have enjoyed, and other people have not enjoyed.

I'm happy that you think the game is perfectly good, and I hope you enjoy playing the creative or vs mode where I promise you won't find any 'politics'.

You really let the politics ruin a perfectly good game I see, after a couple years huh? Why not just sell the game concept to someone who actually wants to make something decent? The violence thing is extremely lame too, who cares. It is a game that has interesting mechanics and is meant for fun and you are ruining it for everyone by having a tantrum over these extremely stupid philosophies of yours. You should honestly sell or give the concept to someone who cares.

Still sore about this? I would sell the whole project if someone was actually interested. I've been way too busy making new things to do anything more with this one.
