Im proud of you

[Sa91]

I just want to say to those of you who make games that suck ass, that Im proud of you.
Maybe you have an idea that you just want to share, or maybe youre some kind of masochist that just loves taking a beating... it doesnt really matter. youre putting yourself out there. you put in work, and you share it with the rest of us.
Maybe its not everyones cup of tea, maybe your execution needs a lot of work. Maybe you made the game with too little blood pumping around in your head... it doesnt really matter.

I just want to say, I admire your intent, your drive and your courage. Dont let the beatdowns and the critique dissuade your creativity. Stay strong, stay you.


HAD I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

W.B. Yeats (1865–1939)

Brother, I did something you love, you can be proud of me.

A positive thread... It's about devs... It don't even come from a new member...
I logged in on the wrong forum, right?


More seriously, I agree with OP. Those devs, whatever how good or bad can their game be, worth more, by the simple fact that they tried, than the thousands who dedicate their free time talking bad about them.

Even if your game REALLY stinks you always have SOME kind of fanbase. You just got to believe in yourself.

Yeats mystically foretold "the dress" controversy from a few years back.
