So... Everytime I write something somewhere it HAS to be meaningful? Can I just pop in and just chat it up? Just because I'm a dev I need to make every piece of interaction game related? Before I used this forum to promote my projects, I was actually an user (by a different username). Why does everything I say has to be either on point or unnecessary... Let me live, man.
Just because I don't go around using curse words and insulting everyone that I have an issue with and prefer to use a bit of humor (even if is not everyone's humor), it doesn't mean that I try to be a "badass"... I'm just doing my thing, which I prefer instead of just antagonizing people for the sake of drama. If something is lacking in our world today is people trying to not get "triggered" by everything other people say, and just be light.
And... I never denied that my timing is is poop (it is kinda of a trademark right now) And even if I try to explain why this time was worse than other ones, people like you would just say I'm making excuses and milking... and everything will be the same as it is now. About the money... if I had a day job that would keep me feed and under a roof. I would pause the earnings, But if I did it right now it would be idiotic (but ethically correct according some people). I prefer for people to just decide for themselves if they want to pause or cancel their pledge... That's what this whole "donation" system is for.
I never commissioned the song... people made it, I loved it, and I added to the game.
But yes, I kinda like myself a lot, And I think that's healthy. Everyone should like themselves. It would make this world a bit less shittier.
About the "superstar" thing... I would like to you to find a single sentence in which I call myself that, or even insinuate it.
Never felt offended by what people say over the internet... but I do like to (sometimes) reply to people who try to do it... like just now.
And I never even knew the other gamer had the "abandoned" tag until someone mentioned in Discord. And by that time I was already working on it. But you won't believe me either way, so why to bother.
I did get reached by a moderator of this forum asking me if the game was abandoned a while back. Which I said "no", but if he had to tag it like that, go ahead... it is their rules, nothing wrong with it. I think he actually kept it untagged for a while, which was a really nice gesture.
And I will finish my stuff when I finish my stuff... You are right that people don't owe me anything... But I sure don't owe people nothing. You may consider this like a pride or egotistical comment if you want.
All in all... I'm a guy who makes porn games... people can play them or they won't. There's no reason grow shit out of proportion.
