Its them insulting and calling names yet again. I really don't see why people are supporting this guy when his first reaction to critique is insulting the other person. Especially now that their abandoning their project.
I'm not abandoning the game, I'm taking a break from it because of people like you. Those who turned my fun hobby into a miserable experience. I know for a fact you saw there was no game and started this whole thing thinking I was some kind of thief, but you never bothered to actually look into it. You're just taking a glance and assuming the worse, so please for the love of God stop this crusade. There's nothing to be earned nor achieved. Leave me alone.
It had nothing to do with it being a porn game asshole. Not once did I mention that. Apparently someone has dicks on the mind. My arguments were about the fact the page had no demo... on a site that is in the middle of developers dropping projects and wasting the space, and the fact that the devs first response to criticism was insults. While ill admit the argument got out of hand, I still stand by the fact that itch should have a rule requiring demos. Preferably with updates within a certain timeframe to stay on the site until the game is out of development. That last one is unlikely however. Also you entering a clearly over argument with insults and facts unrelated to the mentioned argument, directed at a person who clearly returns vitriol with vitriol says a lot about your comprehension abilities. Actually as I type that I realize if that's the case I should use smaller words. I wasn't going to come back to this argument considering it was over but oblivion take us someone had to come in with more insults then even I threw out. Including a few that might get ya banned from the site with today's pc culture.
Yo, game creator here. Chill out with it, I know you probably didn't mean for this to get this out of hand but there are a multitude of games on the site that don't have demos or anything playable out, it's like a landing page for devs to update people on their project. I would know that because I am a dev and have done the same thing, regardless, DN has steadily been working on the game, coming onto his page with all this negativity isn't helping anyone when he basically makes the game by himself.
Now you were obviously interested in the game because you clicked on it, It is an online site, there are a bunch of troll games and troll pages with viruses and nothing on it. Dn has been constantly updating his followers on the game, his page isn't a waste of space in the sea of abandoned, dropped, and not even worked on projects.
I doubt you've even touched something like game developing nor have you experienced how stressful it is with hundreds/ most likely thousands of people who are actually interested, dming you, asking when it'll release, dropping hate because it hasn't released, and then people like you dropping these comments for no reason.
You're still here responding to people on the internet with such articulate responses which leads me to believe that you don't have anything better to do, even if you work this seems like it takes precedent, now, what you could've done was send a positive message the small game team's way but you didn't think of that. Anyway, I hope you have a good day, please, try to spread some positivity somewhere, because you damn sure didn't do it here.
I did not intend for it to get out of hand at all. It is because of said other games wasting space on the site I'm getting tired of seeing em. Especially when they take money without having even so much as a demo. While this dev did give one eventually after shutting down patreon payments till they come back a lot of em don't. it is one of the reasons I believe that such requirements are needed. I understand the advertising and update aspect however unlike preordering a game (to use your example) there is no guarantees of a project, refund if said project fails or worse was fake, or really any repercussions at all for taking the money and running. By requiring a demo at least those who spend money would get something if the dev decides to stop. The only other option that i foresee stopping this would be to ban other methods of the dev gaining money for the project except through itch itself with severe consequences. I see major backlash for this decision though hence the preference for the demo method. I do agree. I don't have any game programming experience, though I have written storylines and various quest info for a friends jrpg and its sequel. I don't believe that counts though. As for my intense response the person earlier today it was because they brought up facts unrelated to the argument entirely based on their own assumption without any facts to back it up. I could care less about the porn aspect. I was following for the fact they plan to make it with major focus on the originals gameplay mechanics, the fact they planned on it being free, and the fact that itch suggested it based on another dev I liked whose taste In games I trust. Not to mention the insults they brought to the argument suggest ableist, sanist, and/or Eugenics beliefs that are a step too far even for me. I am not pissed at the dev (mainly their responses but we have both accepted we went to far.) I even left the conversation without responding to many of the people trying to goad me back and get me banned again. Including a rather racist bigot who recognized my name on a message board and went far enough to receive an ip ban over there over this. I've even tried to at least explain my reasoning using logic instead of emotions and people still assume I'm being rude still. Maybe my phrasing off? Thoughts for later. As for the free time thing. My jobs require me to finish whatever I'm working on before I can go on break. The means my breaks can be at anytime of day except when I'm asleep... which also changes based on the project deadline. I load on to itch to check updates on the games I follow and see I got replies which I read even if I don't respond. this post wasn't even intended as an insult or criticism originally, but a genuine question considering what's Been going on on itch. I only responded so rudely after said question got nothing but insults from the dev. So I do apologize for how bad it got. Btw why do people think death threats are an appropriate go to for this topic? I've gotten a few from people hunting me down on other sites including a rather graphic one including what they would do to my nephew over my corpse.
I apologize for coming in rudely, you seem levelheaded. I just ran in because I saw a fellow dev being- Hmm, I don't know, put down, I guess. It's just difficult with the whole fanbase and everything and expectations to release.
I understand your point, about games taking money from people but I came in so hard because I know DN isn't one of those people, he worked every day on his game even when he hated the shit, I would know because I've played it and seen his progress since a few months back. And I felt it was disrespectful in a sense to loop him in with the other scammers or bad devs who do take money from people.
I just don't understand that out of the people, scammers, etc. Why you would comment on his, when he has been showing the progress, giving constant updates in his discord, showing off gameplay and animations, etc. Especially when he juggles 3d animating, with what is extremely hard to do, along with the godot coding needed to make this game even functional
No, it's not normal at all for someone to threaten you or your family, People on here are a bit unhinged with these games, threatning to hurt you or your family isn't something that should've ever happened over on online disagreement. I apologize for those people as well as my own attitude coming in.
You seem like a cool guy, if you'd like to talk my discord- Blam_ez_cool
Or you can find me through the discord in my games bio. Have a nice night man
The point is that you're still complaining about a game not being out which is ironically a porn game also let me point out the fact you called me a asshole so you're now being hypocritical but anyways it's like you've never heard of people pre ordering games and then waiting to play said games which is what this page is kinda like and also your entire rant about a empty page is fucking pointless like I read the first part and that's all I needed to know but stop throwing a pussy fit because you're unable to beat your meat to toy bunny
You're definitely not a admin so the page won't get banned for not yet including a game or demo to it yet
And I'm pretty sure I've seen some middle schoolers with a higher IQ than you
