While they were criticising the game's ending, they didn't do it very constructive manner. Which then caused the dev to respond in that way, since it wasn't the only one that was pretty unconstructive in it's criticism. It made the criticism sound more like "do the ending this way" demand than constructive criticism. Now i agree the ending wasn't great, though it wasn't that bad either, and there's plenty of there that could have been better. But how you word these things are important in how you get your point across. Best constructive criticism gives valid points on what was good and what didn't work and why, without coming across as something that makes the creator feel like they are attacked.They're not telling you how to make your game, they're telling you they didn't like the ending and that it sucked. If you don't like that? Grow thicker skin? Get drunk? Smoke some weed?
I sure hope it does, 'cause that is the guy leaked my project and said I should rework this 'shit' ending. I have nothing against people who hate the ending or call it bad, that just means they cared about this project enough to feel bad about it but calling it a shit ending and asking for it to be reworked is not criticism. I don't think anyone needs the support of that kind of guy.How could you say something like this and think it was acceptable?
This is the type of comment that you deserve to have follow you around for the rest of your career. People should never forget your disdain for those of us who dare to criticize your work.
The very moment you share something with the world, it is open to criticism. You are not above that. No one is.
Man I am glad I never played this game, wasn't following the progress of it, wasn't one of the people supporting you financially month after month.
What do you mean what happened? People didn't like the shock value endingWait what happen? i just read a few threads back to read people didn't like about MC getting shot ending
They're not telling you how to make your game, they're telling you they didn't like the ending and that it sucked. If you don't like that? Grow thicker skin? Get drunk? Smoke some weed?
I know this game is not perfect, I've said that many times. You're not proving anything by quoting my words, like I said I'm my own harshest critic but the thing you don't understand is calling the ending 'shit' and asking for it to be reworked is not criticism or leaking the game just a day before the public release is not supporting it.I guess I have to remind you that this forum is how a lot/most people find games to play AND support. No one is giving their money away to find out if a game is worth supporting or not, they usually play it first in sites like this, so you dismissing most the people here as freeloaders whose opinion doesn't matter isn't doing you any favors, you are not making that much to have thay diva attitude here.
Second, even if there's a level of subjectivity involved in most works, there's objectively a lot of things wrong with the ending that you have admitted willingly and even unconsciously. Like the fact that it was extremely rushed and with no set up, like usually a good unexpected plot twist would have you going "woah" with an open mouth and have you questioning how you missed the subtle hints and such, but this one just makes you tilt your head in confusion at how stupid it is, because you cant just pull one of these plots out of your ass without setting it up and just expect people to go, yeah that makes sense, thats good, here's you btw:
"Yes, I accept that Sarah's mother's involvement in the story is a bit rushed, and I blame myself for that. I thought of adding more lines for her during the early parts of the game, but I didn't plan ahead very well, and I accept the problem that brings."
So it is rushed as fuck
Not to mention you admitted to just wanting to force it into the story for some shock value, thats why it feels totally out of nowhere and not earned. It is objectively bad because it goes against what good storytelling is and only looks for shock, rage, just something cheap to surprise the player, like you, yourself said, and was even proud about it:
" I wanted to break the cycle of MC meeting a girl and fucking them after some conversation with a surprise twist. It was meant to be abrupt and unexpected so it can be impactful and seeing all the rage about it, I think it's done its job pretty well. "
If you want something like this, better set it up, otherwise, as I said before, just have a black guy appear suddenly with a 2 meters penis and cuck the MC, that's going to be unexpected as well and would make as much sense as what's in the game.
Lastly I am not surprised to read this:
You deem all negative feedback as people trying to "tell you how to make your own game"
And even says it's a mistake to listen to feedback and lord forgive me, actually changing something lol. So if something is bad you won't change it because, apparently, it is bad to listen to lowly inferior beings who dont make porn games, and you'll just keep it as is because you are the dev, and somehow you and everyone loses if you change it and make the story better.
That's why I told you before that you are giving off the impression of someone who thinks their shit doesn't smell, and even if thats you, you at least need to pretend to not be when trying to have people pay you for shit.
But anyway, I've seen enough, good luck with whatever other projects you have.
You don't have to do anything but seething in the thread and liking comments calling people crybabies really isn't the moveI know this game is not perfect, I've said that many times. You're not proving anything by quoting my words, like I said I'm my own harshest critic but the thing you don't understand is calling the ending 'shit' and asking for it to be reworked is not criticism or leaking the game just a day before the public release is not supporting it.
I'm aware of the fact that I could've done a better job on the ending, and I respect all the people who don't like it, but I wanted to try something new for the ending and I did. Is it a good one? For some yes, for others no. Now tell me who should I listen to? People who liked the ending or the ones who hated it?
I am going to take a step back, download the game and then see what's its all about.What do you mean what happened? People didn't like the shock value ending
The gallery unlock feature inside the game is not complete, so it might take a while for people to make a gallery unlocker.can anyone give me galety unlock pleaseee
So, is it working?that kind of behaviour from the so called critics can lead devs even stopping their projects and never publishing anything again.
After the coma we have a couple of scenes where MC reunites with his girls, they talk, cry, laugh and discuss what happened. He has a couple of visitors and has sex with them, and then we move on to the scene with the girls holding their babies and welcoming him. You're right about the abruptness of the ending, it doesn't have enough of a buildup, but it's not like there are no indicators about it.Saw the game by chance on the update page and I never heard of it before.
So first of, congratz on finishing your game Seacth
Just looking at the promo pics and tags I know that this game is right my alley.
Pregnancy tag with actual pregnancy content and not just impregnation only in disguise? Sign me up!
Now.....reading the last few pages was a wild ride. Ngl.
Amidst all the noise and actually constructive feedback given, the main pressure point of the ending, at least how I interpret it, is that by putting the MC in a coma through a gun shot to his head, on his wedding day and timeskip some months ahead, virtually removed any chance of some wholesome and lovey dovey scenes that rounded the wedding up in a nice package.
Removing Serena that way was never the issue here. (Was it her correct name?)
Are there scenes that made up for it after the MC wakes up from coma or does it actually just ends there with him waking up and the image only in which the girls are holding their babys?
Just from a dude that never played the game and literally learned of the existence of the game today....I do believe that the ending would have most likely be recepted on a more positive note if the gun shot happened a day or two after the wedding and not during it. This way you could have had the best of both worlds. A nice wedding for the MC and players that care for it and a sudden twist with a bang (pun intended) right at the end.
People would be still flabbergasted but without the bad aftertaste of a ruined wedding but what do I know
Anyway, let me go grab my version from itch.io and let me see for myself if the ending really sucked balls after seeing the context for myself.
It can't be that bad like the ending of FFVIIR that actually destroyed my whole experience with the game up to this point right? xD
For real though. Fuck the ending of the Remake of FFVII and inclusion of different timelines.
