Wait, I just read the whole thing and didn't realize there were animations. Geeze. Serves me right for not downloading the update.

Indeed I don't care. I haven't played this game at all since the original dev announced the end of monster content. My original post was responding to someone who appeared to have posted an in-game screenshot, and it was just my take on seeing something that absolutely flabbergasted me. That's it. All the rest of this forum drama you are all are caught up in, and expect me to know or have a stake in? Don't know, or care. Literally zero fucks given.
Then bye-bye! We are talking about the 0.9 update here, not 2 years ago in 0.4 or however long ago that removal of content was. Lot's of things happened since then...

I'm sorry, I was responding to a screenshot. You didn't seem to get that, so whatever context might have been in the game I wasn't privy to. Again, please actually read and comprehend what I actually wrote, and not just assume things. Lemme quote myself, as you didn't seem to get it the first time around.
"Holy shit, is that an actual in-game message from the developer? Cause that is a serious case of 'getting high on your own supply'. I was just poking around out of curiosity, as I had largely written the game off after the dev disavowed the monster scenes..."
That screenshot didn't have any indication you were the author. I saw you were some sort of dev (Sinful Summer =/= Deadmoon Surival), and it's not uncommon to see them cross-pollinate other game's discussion, or circle the wagons and defend each other from criticism. So whatever, you wouldn't be the first dev to seemingly come to the defense of another, so I didn't bat an eye. But no, I'm supposed to also comb over your entire signature, see in the fine text that you're a co-developer for a different game, and also intuit that you are the author of the specific content in the screenshot? As someone not personally invested in this game's development drama, that is all a bit much. Again, I didn't play the content, nor did I ever claimed to have. As I already said, I was bored and just sorta rubbernecking in this thread until that screenshot caught my attention. My post is and was a response to a specific screenshot, a jaw-droppingly bad admission from the author.
We'll also gloss over how I largely agreed with the sentiment of the later half of the screenshot: F95 is filled with slop hogs with no taste for quality. A lot of low-effort shit manages to rise to the top, while other projects with much more heart and talent fall by the wayside. That's all still true, regardless you don't whinge about it in game to your audience. Does Ridley Scott stop their movies midway to have a narrator bitch to the audience about the audience's lack of appreciation for the director's talent? No. I hope I don't need to explain why. Also pointing all of that out is just a statement of reality, it was in no way a judgement on overall quality of the game past or present. I had checked out early because of pacing issues and direction shift, but that's not an indictment on the overall quality of the game at present (which I don't actually have an opinion on, cause again, I haven't played it). The stuff that I had played back in the day was well made, and clearly the person making it had talent and cared. But even 'good' games can have people bounce off of them, check out, or loose interests for various reasons outside of the overall 'quality' of a project. Again, I was slagging off the audience here on F95 by decrying their love and defense of generative AI, and you thought that was criticism directed at this project?
But yeah, if you wrote that message to the audience in the screenshot I was originally responding to, then you are the source of some peak 40 something divorced dad energy level cringe. I have no idea if you're a good dev or not, and I don't have an opinion on your content. But I stand by my assessment of the screenshot's content, and by extension what it says about you as a creative if you wish to claim ownership of it. Want to prove me wrong? Don't whinge at your audience in-game because of perceived criticism. Maybe don't fly off the handle at criticism not actually directed at you? Again, why get defensive about slow pacing for the parts you didn't actually create?
I am more than capable of being civil, but that only works when people honestly respond to what I actually write and not what they assumed I did.
It was an unofficial release of a draft update from someone who assisted with the game. If he wanted to put a heartfelt message that explained why he was upset at seeing the game die that's his business. And there were already similar narrator interludes like that in previous versions. You should be thanking him for releasing that rough cut. But since you didn't play it, you should STFU!
Go fuck yourself. No one cares about your opinion. Coming in here and attacking a dude for putting in the effort and work to release scenes for the game, that you didn't even give the courtesy of playing, is way the fuck out of line.
Bruh…
“I don’t care!”
*Proceeeds to write a book showing he does indeed care*
Is this the ever illusive reading comprehension running away from my brain cell?
I was fishing for another pointless wall of text with the "lets have a civil discussion" thing I said...
I can confirm the lure worked.
Jokes aside, I don't have a reason to talk with someone who isn't even here to discuss the actual game and just rants forever about a random screenshot without context. Great for me though, another one went into ignore list.

r u implying that it leads to a dead end or is the dev improvising as he goes and doesn't tell what he has planned?
Dev ghosted everyone including the co dev. Co Dev put together what he could for the most recent update.
Happy New Year to all DeadMoon fans!
