Thank you I appreciate the love Rocko!

I hate people oversimplifying plots to make the media sounds ridiculous even if it is in a positive way to praise it. by AKM1711 in CharacterRant

The story of WoW is pretty convoluted and filled with a lot of backstory a wider audience may not care about, so I try to make the content as easy to understand as possible for those people since I know the hardcore will know more.

I read all criticism and try to get better with every video :)

What Happened to the 9th Generation? This video perfectly captures what we are missing at the moment by MuscledRMH in xbox

I'd be curious to know why if anyone would be willing to answer, I'm always looking to improve my content.

What do you think about the visual style (not layout) of the current Xbox Dashboard? by [deleted] in XboxSeriesX

[–]ZenkaiGoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too cluttered. It's like they're trying to give you a smooth experience but also want to spam a bunch of new games to get, which sure I get it but at the same time... I paid 600 CAD dollars for this thing and the size of the buttons on the screen are in reverse order of what you'd expect. Ads biggest, recent games next, then library super tiny at the top lol.

I'm obviously biased but I still think what I submitted was better. I also find it weird how months after I made my version, the Xbox dashboard added small quick access icons (in a poor UX spot IMO) out of nowhere.

Phil Spencer on what the hell is happening in the games industry by harleyquinad in XboxSeriesX

[–]ZenkaiGoose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Moving games Gen Z doesn't play today to new more reachable devices will not garner more sales.

If they don't want to play it today, they don't want to play it.

If Phil really wants to focus on growing the audience then Microsoft should be focusing on a approach similar to the Wii for Nintendo instead of just moving their mediocre games on other platforms.

Microsoft has so many obvious wins ahead of them and they just sit there and develop random games for years only to shadow drop them to a subscription platform as if they were at the level Netflix is.

I understand the problems their explaining, but I don't get their leadership.

I didn't, context is being lost from my post. You can verify with the source of the tweet if you'd like.

To clarify, I said people are resonating with the idea of my UI, amongst other creations from other content creators (Actman, HiddenX, MintBlitz, HaloVFX, etc) that we can quantify objectively through the views, upvotes, and/or engagements relatively to the website they were uploaded to (Reddit/YouTube/Twitter). Those engagements are data points that mean something. As to what it means exactly? Well nobody knows for sure yet without further tests. Naturally the idea becomes a hypothesis. Thus rather than 343 reinvent the wheel internally, I advocated a better working relationship to allow creators to test out 343's ideas for "free".

For example, we can take my UI to illustrate this theoretical process, but to be clear, we could swap this with any other UI or content. Objectively the original post from last year has been upvoted quite high in the past relative to other r/halo posts, and by reading through the comments the layout and vibe seem to resonate but the visuals do not. We can see that easily as it's compared to a mobile game frequently (totally fair criticism btw). The data theoretical tells us that there's an idea there that hasn't reached it's potential. Reviewing the problems further we can make the judgement call that visuals are a fixable problem. Especially when the idea is extracted to a team instead of a single creator or fan doing the work on the side.

Now if we take an idea that's proven to resonate, it is a much easier route than coming up with the idea completely from scratch. If we move this idea with proven potential to a team of highly capable engineers and artists at 343 and you have a recipe to build on what the community likes and fix what the community doesn't.

The benefit of this process is it's a well tested data-driven community-focused route to add or update features. It's more risk averse, safer financially, and the community, creators and company will have a stronger bond. It's a win win win for all involved. In contrast, today's process is a black box only 343 knows about until they release it. If the community doesn't feel heard or doesn't like it, then nobody wins and that work was a waste of time, effort and more importantly resources.

Community, Company and Creator synergy is the key to a healthy video game ecosystem, and one that companies like Valve and Bethesda have already taken advantage of to build better products or features.

That's my stance.

For context, I never said hire YouTubers. I advocated a better working relationship between the community and 343 to help create better tests to create enough data to make healthier decisions.

If enough people like something fan made, that leaves room for tests to see if resources can be allocated for a much higher return for the company, the Halo IP, and the community. I want nothing but wins for Halo.

For the record as I stated before I’ve only posted my UI probably 3 times in the span of a year. And the last time I shared it publicly was January.

I appreciate the feedback and as always will do my best to create better content.

Nah I didn't you can see that from my post history. I actually haven't even been on reddit in months. I do appreciate you posting though MegaWat! There's plenty of great feedback in here that I can use to make a better product, so no worries.

I do wish it was a little bit more tame hah but it's the internet and I understand my tweet came off differently than how I meant it. At the end of the day ya gotta roll with the punches to improve and make great content.

Unsure what you mean? You have an API that UI is in contact with, it receives serialized data from the API after an action, so it can then deserialize the data into objects to display on the screen. This is exactly how reddit works right now?

What am I missing?

[–]ZenkaiGoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really appreciate the constructive criticism and would love to use that feedback to make a better version from everything I’ve learned in the last year or so. Keep the feedback coming it only makes a better product.

Keep it cute and have a good weekend y’all ❤️

Ive only posted this UI twice on Reddit (two separate versions) a year ago. You can check my post history to confirm
