That works well in a thread where you have the actual creator interact with the thread and its participants. There is no dialogue going on here, whatever critics and loud voices just come across as angry old man shouting into the void. Creating a game and have a game dev tag doesn't make anyone a expert at anything. If people genuine interested in give feedback and enter a dialogue with the creator they need to go where the creator is. The typical "x, v & z sucks because reasons", is not useful feedback though.
I just said you shouldn't throw stones in a glasshouse. Which by no means drag something off topic. It did trigger you to justify and defend though, which did...
Stating something will be very popular is your opinion and not necessary the reaction you get. Sometimes being humble is the better option imho, and just let your work speak for itself. The fall from "high expectations", can turn into a faceplant.
Creating adult games of this nature with Patreon, Subscribestar etc as monetizing platform is a work in progress. The creation is at the discretion of the creator. It's not set in stone from the get go, things will change as the work progress. There been a plethora of games recently that got redone, had makeovers etc. People cry about tags that pop up that wasn't there from the start, or changes to game engines, world building, lack of lewd content and just about anything else possible.
I have pledged to games in the past that took a u-turn from what I expected and I pulled pledge. I didn't cry and bitch about it, sometimes the spoon just not there. Games I download for "free" I see no reason to keep bitch and complain about it, because I have nothing invested in them. Many of these games you see the same people show up with new updates and keep bitch and moan about the same over and over as it would magically give them what they want.
I explain everything perfectly say peace, then you drag me right back in... Sheesh alright last comment from me because I'm coding some shit taking a little break though;
If game developers are not experts on game development then who are in your opinion? Are fishermen not experts in fishing, and chefs not experts in cooking in your opinion as well?
As for the developer of this game not taking an active role in the thread. Well, there is no real way to know for sure. Some developers do this thing called "lurking" where they read what people say but don't respond to anything. Someone not commenting on something does not mean they have not read what was said. The vast majority of people in any given thread on any given forum will be a lurker in the thread. Even people who are active on the forums like yourself I'm sure have read far more threads and comments than they have commented on.
You are correct in that it may behoove the developer of this game to be more visibly active in this thread and for developers in general to be a more active presence in their game threads. However, there are so many hours in a day and some choose to not do that because they value their time elsewhere or simply don't care.
Offering an explanation =/= Being Triggered
I have remained calm and level headed the entire time here. Typically a "triggered" individual would be lobbing insults, or bitching and moaning or whatever and I haven't done any of that, and have been perfectly pleasant this entire time.
As for the popularity of my yet to be relased game. (Damaged Goods) I have very high confidence in it. Enough to say that it will be more popular than most first releases. It's a very solid start of a game compared to many first releases that are often times a tech demo. (It will have over 700 renders and several animations, have a lot of meaningful choices with variables, and originality and no bugs. Why wouldn't such a release be popular? I would be extremely shocked if it were not popular.). I am frequently in these forums, and have played countless other games, and I have connected some dots to see what gets complaints and what gets praise. Will everyone love my new game? No of course not. Some people will surely find something to complain no matter how good any game is haters always gonna hate. I'm not trying to brag just being realistic.
You have pledged to games. That is good if you can afford to do so. It's rare to find people who do that on pirate forums.
I'm going back to work on my game have fun forum whoring it. Check my game out later and give it an honest review
