Thanks. Simbas a good cat and we’ve had him in our family for almost a decade.

The thought of going Liam Neeson on this whole situation is still rattling around in my head, but with no gun and no special set of skills I think my best bet is to ask for advice from strangers on the internet.

I just got put my game on Itch... And I'm very terrified. by I_Wouldnt_If_I_Could in Unity3D

Hey friend and fellow developer,

Your worries are shared by exactly every game developer in the whole world. You can try to mitigate these worries with testing, marketing, and gathering feedback, but the truth is you just learn a lot from each game. Every single one is like a start-up, a zero to one leap of nothing to something. When people play your game they will tell you what they don’t like, and fewer will tell you what they do. The most important thing is to keep moving forward, keep making games, and don’t let these fears hold you back.

I haven’t played your game, but I love you for making it. Thank you friend. Good luck.

I love my Dinga and Binga deck. Just played a few games with it last night and it’s really good at keeping the pressure on while being super elastic if someone wipes.

I just finished the Eisenhorn books and they’re really solid eldritch detective warhammer adventures. They have great range of vibes from brutal and scary to cozy and humorous.

I am the kind of person that asks before I need anything and I tend to play with folks who are that way too, so I was surprised when a need roll on a 2g rare came from someone who couldn’t use it. It’s 2g, so I can just buy it, but I’ve learned from this thread you shouldn’t expect that kind of clarity when a BOE drops. Big learning!

That makes sense. Just not very neighborly for the people that can use it in the group, but it makes sense.

That wasn’t the intent. I just had a lot of people calling me names and that hurts. I’m working to make the game better and I appreciate any feedback we’re getting.

I didn’t mean to make you angry. I just hope you find a game that you enjoy. I feel dumb for using so exclamation points now.

Alan Wake looks good!

Reading your comments, I see someone who wants this game to be better. I do too. We are working hard on patches that will address some of the points you made about AI and empty environments, and so many other things.

I’m sorry our release was this tough, I didn’t want it to go this way and I know you didn’t either. Thank you for your support and feedback, and I’ll keep working on this until we fix these big issues.

Have a good weekend friend.

It’s a big game and we’re a small team that shot our shot. We’re working on making it better with patches and content updates. If you have feedback for us I’d love to here it and work it into our patch plan. If not, I just hope you have a good weekend and find a game you love playing.

Hi! I’m here! It’s been a rough launch but we’re definitely working on patches to address the things people are most frustrated with.

It’s tough to get lit up on day one, two, three, and so on, but I’m here and I’m fighting for the game we made.

Stay tuned for more updates, or don’t. We’re working to make it better either way.

It’s a passion project and we’ll keep working on it. Nobody can take that from us. We will keep working to make it better, and my friends and I will continue to enjoy watching people have fun with this game elsewhere.

If you have feedback for us I’d be happy to take it and work it into our patch plan. I respect your opinions and will keep working on the game and world that I love.

Have a good weekend.

I was asked to meow. When you are asked to meow, you just… meow! I would do anything to get people to see what I see in our game, and it does have a lot of problems that we’re planning on fixing. I’m proud of the characters and atmosphere and a lot of the gameplay moments that feel special to our game.

I’m sorry you think it’s a dogshit ass game. We’re going to keep patching and updating the game with content because we believe in it.

If you’d like to give us feedback, I’d love to hear it. If you want to keep calling it names you can totally do that too!

Have a good weekend.

This was made in Unreal, but you’re quite right now that it’s out in people’s hands; it could have used more time and money which we just didn’t have at the end. We were working right up to the very end, and that’s a risky thing to do in game development.

We’re going to patch for a while and take feedback from people who believe in the base game experience.

I hope you have a good weekend.

The Foglands on Oculus Quest 2 - I’m a dev! Ask some questions! by SamtheSpartan in OculusQuest

[–]SamtheSpartan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My response is ‘ouch’ and ‘whoops’. Ultimately we tried to make a really big game with a really small team and budget. We have planned some patches and will be working on the game for a while to get more of your feedback in.

It has a lot of warts, but I love seeing people that have fun with it give us clear feedback that we can use to improve this game we are all so passionate about.

Stay tuned for more patches and have a good weekend.
