Have you just watch some kickstarter scam on YouTube?

What's wrong with having a secret goal and letting people know they will get a DLC like content if that goal is reached. The only time I made a statement of not working on this game when I launched first prototype.

And yes, quite retarded of me to spend three months making original sprites for this game instead of using pre made assets. Another stupidity is that I should have made a zombie game. That game would be a goldmine as people are really excited to see another Parasite in City.

I not forcing anyone to pre order this game. I'm rewarding their faith in me with 50% off on original price (60% of that price with current sale).

Also giving my fan an option to suggest ghost ghost designs as someone suggested Sadako and I'm giving appearance like her to one ghost.

I know that anyone would be skeptical of getting a pre ordered game but look if dev has done any work before accusing someone of ripping off their fans.

LAGS... I'm glad you don't use pre-made sprites. That makes a lot of your work "original" and I love that. ^_^ Honestly, there is waay to much copy and paste these days anyway. It's nice to have something new and fresh. And your pixel style art is great.

Just to chime in and pay you a much deserved compliment LAGS ❤
Don't let the negativity get to you. You do you! You're doing fine. And I hope you had a Merry X-mas! ^_^

From what I've seen, you're not ripping anyone off and you don't ever plan to. And I've followed you a long enough time to know that. You steadily and dedicatedly work on your games, sometimes without rest lol... 😄 With lots of support and communication with your players and fans even. Good on you.
Eventually even completing your games. ❤❤❤

That person would know that if they followed you for as long as I have. And since they clearly haven't and just brazenly made disrespectful comments. They really have no grounds to say such things otherwise. Especially the way they said it. That was quite frankly, rude, harsh, and disrespectful.

You didn't deserve such a empty compliment from someone with no or little history with you. Ignore it. Pay them no mind. There's a name for that sort of thing they just did, and it's called being toxic.

I hope you were being sarcastic when you called yourself stupid and retarded...
You are not retarded. And you certainly are not stupid. In fact, you are very creative. Thank you for sharing your creativity and worlds with us.
Plus you know how to program obviously... I don't know how to do that ^_^
Ok, I lied... maybe I know how to just a little tiny bit lol. I just don't have the programs to do it with. 😏It's not as hard as everyone thinks it is but it still takes time, effort, money, dedication, and work. With a little bit of love and passion for it. And of course, the know-how. Clearly all of which you have and you share it with us.

I hope you do reach your secret goal for this game if not already... tbh, this game already holds a special little place in my heart. I for one would love to see extra content for it. I'm sure over time we will. ❤ I seriously can't be the only supporting this one that thinks this game is a good idea for fun and enjoyment. 😄

Guess that means I have faith in you. Well, you've earned it then.

Not all the comments are worth reading... Thee above is a perfect example of one to completely ignore.
It's simply, "out of place."

And to be frank... sounded like the opinion of a person who was hurt by another game elsewhere or something else entirely unrelated before.
That's not on you LAGS.

It's times like this I wish I could just pm/ dm you here and send you positivity directly.

Besides, on their own page I found: "if you don't have something nice to say then don't talk to the person..."

Sounds like they should listen to and take their own advice...

Hello, Merry Christmas to you too.

Yes, I was being sarcastic when I said that. I just wanted to state a fact that if I wanted to scam anyone I would have given a shot at a zombie. I'm well aware that people are really interested for another Parasite in City.

I'm glad I read this comments after replying again. It will help me stay positive through out the development period.

Aww, Thank you.
And you're very welcome. You bring entertainment, and enjoyment into our lives. You deserve it in kind. Simple as that.
Just don't take on too many projects at once lol... 😄You're just one person after all... Don't overdo it k?. lol. Otherwise everything really will come to a snails pace and nothing much will actually get done xD I'm sure I don't need to tell you that though lol. You seem to have a pretty good handle on things.

And for what it's worth... I for one am actually glad you held out on the zombie game for this one.

"This game was a very welcome surprise."
Like I said, "Love games like this."

It's nice to think that missing loved ones are still around in the afterlife. It's comforting even... There's more to it to me than just a lewd puzzle game lol.
Ghost's beat zombies in my opinion anyway. At least they can respond and aren't brain dead lol. Not to mention all the neat things they can do that zombies simply can't...

Besides, You can always make that zombie one too after you've completed your current projects ^_^ It never hurts to have backup ideas and projects lined up like that for the future.

I'm not gonna lie, I play zombie games too.
And yeah, even I've played Parasite in City lol. I'll admit it. I very well know what you're talking about. I thought it was fun. Felt kinda like Resident Evil but in 2D. Simply said, I liked it. You could definitely pull something like that off. ❤ Easy. Not to mention, the longer you put it off the better it will be because you'll have all the experience from doing other things. It never hurts to wait.

... Your art really does get better year after year. It's been a real joy to see it unfold. So much better now than when you first started. Especially since Brawl ^_^ I'm glad you stuck with it and you keep going! I hope we get many years of enjoyment and entertainment from you to come.

Take care, have fun when you can, and have a wonderful day!

Thanks again. Can't wait to see what ghosts you think of next 😉Ohh, and don't forget to mention yourself in the credits for the things you do too lol. I noticed that there weren't any in game credits yet or included within the game...
You deserve a spot in the credits to and to be recognized for such... Even if it's your own game and everyone who downloads it already knows lol. 😊😏 I love to see things like that too anyway. Especially when a dev does a special thanks to list. It gives back a little to those that deserve it.

... see what you make me do lol... 😄 I can't but help write you these appreciation letters every time I text you lol. I only meant to say Good to know, Thank you, and you're welcome. 😆

Ah well... I took the time to text it, I might as well send it 😏😉

I for one can attest that Lags works their ass off and if Hailey's Treasure Adventure is any indication, pre-ordering is worth the risk. HTA is one of the best games I've found on itch. It's not much of a risk with Lags at the helm as far as I'm concerned

the problem is not giving a defined value and wording

the way you worded this was like 90% of scam devs

basically saying you might make the content if you reach a goal but there's 1 no goal defined so we can try and reach it and 2 the wording is a really bad wording as I've only seen shity devs use this form of wording before

on top of this you're running a pre-purchase mode instead of something else

id suggest 1 replace that part with if we reach x amount of cash ill make x amount of content instead of just saying fuck it idc because that's how your words come off in this update page

you might mean well but wording and actions mater alot

remember there are shity devs and the actions of many can harm the 1

so wording properly and defining things properly should be your goal when stating things like this otherwise you might loss sales

and in turn support to make your end game

either way idk if said it but the games not bad and if you do continue to make it then good but I've seen to many games go down hill so I'm not getting my hopes up

If you had ever checked my sales description once you would have noticed it.

The only time it was edited was 2 days to updated sales target and new perks with it.

On the other hand, additional 10 ghosts thing was a DLC like thing. Anyway, I have dropped the idea so won't be making additional ghosts. Those 90% scam devs also have record of abandoned game, overpromised stuff out of their capability and assets flips. I understand to have doubt about 3D game because it's development is hard but it's a 2D game and almost 80% programming done for this demo.

As I said earlier, I'm not forcing anyone to buy it right now but also want to make it available for cheaper price for the people who trust me. People have seen enough scams that they will stay out of it until this project is complete. The only people that are going to buy are the ones who have played my previous games or the ones that have liked the idea.

Being skeptic is alright but see if dev have any other projects done before educating a dev about wordings. This only frustrates the already stressed.

STE|HuntertheWolf2 years ago

i didint see that as a forum so sorry but your wording was worried also im one of those who liked the idea then i saw that and it started to give me doubts ive seen and had to many hard times finding good games now days and i get to bored of them so i tend to root for games the aim big or have good ideas but when i see shady things from a dev i have to point them out tho thanks for crushing the worrys

i also think ive downloaded and bought one of your other games as i remember a girl named annie and honey makers

hmmmmmmmmm

didint think you would spark to make a ghost hunters game interesting

STE|HuntertheWolf2 years ago

nvm i own 4 of your games hahaha nvm the worrys sorry i didint notice you made those games

would love to see this game get due ghosts by the way maybe having modes

like collector mode where it removes ghosts you dont already have in your collection

as well as hunted

which is basicly it spawns in 2 -3 diffirent ghosts and maybe a animation for 3 somes and 4 somes

STE|HuntertheWolf2 years ago

also if you dont make the sales you need you should announce a patreon to complete the funding

as not everyone is gonna buy the game 50 times to get the funds up right so donating would be a good way to do this
