I've made games since two years ago. My first game never got a good review, no one gave it a chance, but when I played it again, on my own, months later, I enjoyed my game I made. It was hilarious. The story I wrote was genius to me. Everything I thought about and wanted to show came alive when I played that game again. Not a single review on that game, but I didn't care. I loved making games. It was my passion.
Then the second game I made had great reviews! It made me want to be a game developer more!
Then the third came around, which is in this competition and so far, I don't have a lot of reviews. Not a lot of people are giving my game a chance but its ok. I develop games because I love it! And I do it with the purpose of making that one person life change.
So don't get too discourage. Grab a bucket of popcorn and watch those bad reviews because those are worth gold! They are literally telling you how to improve your game. When you are off in the bigger world, no one will tell you why your game isn't great. Make the mistakes early on now so when you do become big, it won't happen again. :)
Oh, the first game I made was called second chance.
