yeah we all are hurt by it and Veq very poorly execution of things, it's a damn shame..
i totally have his back, i have a theory what happened to him and if im correct i feel his pain BUT that doesn't change the fact that we talking about hundreds of ppl that putting money on the line, because they believed in him.
its the same thing with employer and real job, sure its your idea and "hobby" but you get the money not only for work you are doing that's obvious but for communication...
you HAVE to keep ppl in loop, what's going on every day, week or month. im not talking about spending every minute of your time on different forums or social media and answering to all the trolls who doesn't really gives a shit and don't support the project but for fuck sake 5-10m a week won't kill you.
Be honest, don't hide shit and don't make promises you won't be able to keep. it doesn't mean you have to tell everyone everything about you private life, to be honest it's better if you keep that shit to yourself, no one really needs and want to hear about drama in your life and how hard or bad it is out there, we all know.
it's simple road they pay, you deliver.
another pressing matter is the burn out, i don't get what are you guys thinking, you are bunch of morons if you spend on the game all of your free time without any plan or breaks, is it so hard to plan your year? to take calendar in your hand and i don't know think for couple of minutes?
take a week off every 2months? take a month off every 6 months? it's so easy and will keep you fresh and on point. pushing yourself 110% will only take you back 200% at some point.
be realistic especially if you are going solo.
yes im a fan of Veq but I will never do things like he did because now everything is dead, ppl are disappointed and even if he make a come back bad taste in mouth will stay for long time.
I wish him all the best in the world, so he can straight himself out and that he won't be back soon or at all to be honest. leave the guy alone and let him heal his wounds. I'm off from this thing as well till then.
