Because some people (like me) would prefer to know what we are getting into and 0.1 doesn't mean unplayable mess. Besides, 0 reviews is worse than some negative ones, because with 0 it means it isn't even worth to write few sentences and give rating.
Unless you or people like you are planning to change/re-evaluate your preview in the next updates, then you're qualifying and entire game based on the first attemtp that an amateur dev without any previous experience in game design could do.
The same reason why someone would download this 0.1 version, to actually be able to play it. If a version of a game is so broken that you can`t even play it yet, that version is not ready to be launched and it doesn`t matter if it is 0.1 or not. The game as it is now is a waste of time and there needs to be not just implemented but also changed a lot to actually make it worth it, therefore people who read my review don`t have to download a game, waste their time and then be disappointed with it.
There's a code on the wall,
seriously?itch.io said:
This is not what those words mean.
What's your problem? It's up to the dev to choose how will he sell his game. If it is as shitty as you mention then no one will buy it and that's it. His game, his failure and his problem. Just ignore it and play other games.
In kindergarten you get told "if you have nothing to say shut your mouth". Kindergarten is wrong.
To be honest, because I think that comments like yours are extremely hypocritical. People like you, complaining about what other people does just because it involves money, even when they aren't being afected in any way. Not only that, they will get the game from the dev they criticize so much as soon as the game gets leaked here.
complaining about something that does not affect you is not what the word hypocritical means.
Lol, no. To be honest, not only I think that you're everything you're saying, I also think that you felt so troubled with that you had to completely change the topic 3 times (The game is shit and so the dev ---> Why are you answering me? ---> You're the hypocrite!) just in order to find "something" to reply.
0.16 free version is on newgrounds, gamejolt and fap-nation, on f95 I made a request to update to version 0.16, but ignored and therefore here is still the old version. No one is forcing you to pay for additional content!
Making grind annoying and then selling exp boosters is shitty practice and should be shamed whenever possible.
Oh... maybe you're right... but developers are human too and they want to eat?
It's more about that it shows that you are willing to compromise gaming experience for some extra cash. Create a problem and then sell solution, that's what exp boosters first bring to my mind. Extra content (or like many people see it, cut content) behind paywall also is something weird.Oh... maybe you're right... but developers are human too and they want to eat?
In the beginning I tried to do everything for free, but what's the use? only lost a lot of time in development!
The practice of giving people extra benefits in games for what they pay, thereby supporting the developer is normal!
I make games alone, it's very hard work, come up with the story, draw the characters, backgrounds, design, write the game code... And yes I'm not hiding that I want something in return, but all developers work on the basis of this principle!
Show me someone who doesn't work like that?!
By your logic it turns out that the developer should work and give you everything for free? Also, according to your logic, the gardener who grew the apples should give them to you for free? And it doesn't matter that he spent time and effort to grow them!
It would be better to give tips to improve the game and not pick on every little thing!!!
I do not understand what aggression towards the developer because of such a trifle...
