It's funny this dude complains about exactly the same things I do but ignores me for some reason.And so much for the communication!
You had the opportunity to complete the expression of your work which was reasonable stated in the 1st two paragraphs. Then you go off and vent WHILE YOU STILL DO NOT HAVE THE TEAM YOU SAID YOU WOULD! Why would anyone believe anything you say from your tower. We all know Viper is a flaming jerk. It is why I have IGNORED him. You just add fuel to his fire to vent your frustration. Really! We have the same frustration with YOU because you don't do what you say you will do. And what you say has no corroboration. You are not credible in your own defense.
Get a team together, as you said you would! Encourage some open discussion and share thoughts on artwork (Does not have to be your plans for AWAM.) Have members of your team available to interact. And get a skin that is thicker than a sheet of tissue paper. Then you move from pretentious recluse to interesting Dev. I don't think there is a snowballs chance in hell of this happening but, the ball is in your court. Don't drop it!![]()
I know I'm on ignore but you're going to click the button and read this post anyways so here it is:Did you read what this post was about? I know it is his game. This was not about the game!
He has two choices. Avoid interaction except through Patreon or interact in many locations including here. If you look at his interactions here they are always contentious. He never works the crowd. In his recent post, to his apparent nemesis Viper, he had two good paragraphs he could have built on and then given Viper an appropriate and earned IGNORE. I stated as such. Not a damn thing about his game.
Then I called him on HIS PROMISE to build a team when he hit a certain subscriber level. This is still not about his game. It is all about him and his promises and his possibilities. I encouraged him to be a dev who interacted with the community (Go read the recent Where the Heart is Thread. Cheeky and Ace are just chatting away. Some is their views of trolls some is their views of games some is their game.)
So take time to Read TomUK before you jump to a conclusion. I encouraged him to interact here on art (He is skilled. as you capture immediately in the 1st two paragraphs) even if it had nothing to do with AWAM. I encouraged him to build his team and have them contribute. It all builds his credibility. Not one damn thing about his game! I encouraged his interaction here as an artist not just a contentious, pretentious dev.
To be blunt not a damn thing about the game but, his results and promises for sure!
There are several good questions in this thread
Several talks about plot, render tech, ways to help Lazy&Passive, etc. he ignores all of those.
Who does he answer? Me. It's not the first or the second time.
He actually takes more time answering me than answering his patrons, his patrons' emails and from what I heard, attending to his discord. He even took time of his precious overbearing schedule to look at 18 renders of an amateur dude.
Think about that for a while. Everytime he starts getting caught in his shenanigans, he comes in blasting away all mad like any of this is actually meaningful. Would be hilarious if not a bit sad, really.
And don't call me a nemesis. I've supported the development of this game for a long time, tried to get him help of a translator, offered to pay for a dev to work with him so he could see that a team could work better etc. I'm not a nemesis, I'm a realist, and the reality is this is a milking machine made up to drag as long as he needs until he ends up abandoning it whenever he has had enough.
That guy was only a dude to get his game under Patreon's rules.That was for the last update. Has he made this a long term arangement or even announced that he has an actual team. Nope just a one time translator. If he had this guy for the current update then translation would already be done right! Oooops, I forgot he needs to write the whole event so he can't use the translator yet. I hope he developes a relationship here. I hope it becomes a team. Until that is a fact I don't count on it. One can hope.
