Horror is not the same as jump scares. Many horror games or movies do not have them, or have only very quiet ones.
Also, jump scares, depending on execution, can cause me physical pain; yet still i like horror media. :)
I apologize in advance, but I hope you can read, because I never said horror is the same as jump scare. I said that because it is a horror, the content of this project might contain details of it. It is weird to simplify such a logical thing, but if you have a condition (which is odd you brought it up for the sake of this discussion) you should not play horror or watch any horror related media, unless it is mild or psychological. Again, feelings and emotions can not be rationally discussed, but, simple fact of horror game having a jump scare - is logical.
Look, if a person is overweight and they keep eating chocolate everyday, in the end if something happens to them it is their fault and not the company's, which sells chocolate, because they should know chocolate might sugar and most times it does.
Seriously thou, this is super silly discussion. If you don't like the game fine, but don't tell the developer what to do with their content, it is not your business. If you consume their content it is up to you, they are not giving you obligation to play it.
Stop gatekeeping horror games. I make horror games because I like horror, but more importantly I make them for everyone to play and enjoy.
I don't appreciate you telling people with valid health reasons that they shouldn't play horror games. All they are asking for is more transparent warnings in the description and there is nothing wrong with that.
Your stubbornness with this is very odd.
You better watch yourself. I never demanded anything unlike the original post was saying to "should do this". I gave valid points to the person and jus because you disagree and "don't like" something means 0. You gave no solutions and absolutely no evidence, while I proved with multiple examples that if someone does not fell well that is not creator's job to comfort them - why do you disagree on this simple notion? Maybe read before commenting.
I wonder what does "I make horror games because I like horror" has to do with anything in this particular case, just elaborate.
I have been making games since 2012 and been an active member of itch.io since 2019, so what? I simply don't condone demanding tone and bad treatment towards developers, which you clearly are making it available for others. And I am not "gatekeeping horror games", maybe you should go learn the definition of that word too, hm? Gatekeeping would mean that I censor someone and control someone's action, which is the opposite mate, because I am legitimately against the idea of demanding something to someone for their subjective needs, especially to developers, do you understand that or maybe I should simplify? Like really, at this point it looks like we are in the kindergarten.
Edit: I just want to clarify 1 thing too, I have nothing personally against you, just in case you thought of that. I am not that type of person. I looked up your games and they are pretty neat, might play them. Just understand that developers should do whatever they want and consumers, they can complain or criticize, but once it reaches the wrong level, it is unacceptable. And you calling me stubborn is not an insult. If I was not stubborn I would let people walk all over me and that's not the way you want to live in this world mate.
Listen buddy, you should not demand anything from anyone. You have clearly no comprehension of what I told you. The developer should not be told what to, understand that? People with health problems who eat that low calorie cake know that information - you don't! That's what I said. If you don't know that the cake is low calorie don't eat it then! And after complain it had too much sugar - understand?
This entire argument is against "living in the box", because now the developer was forced to kindle to your needs, which they should not. But they did, so good job. Furthermore, once again the game has no serious jump scares on AVERAGE! again proving that your notion is just wrong.
