I guess I'll also take the time to address some of the stuff I've been reading. Yes, if you shat on me, I read it, and I know who you are.
If you don't like the farming system, that's totally fine. I'm not making games for every single person to enjoy; I'm just making the games that I would really like to play myself, and a Rune Factory game where you can fuck every single person in town is a game I would have loved to play. That said, I've been planning from the beginning, ways for people who don't like that aspect to progress through the game. If you leave the farm completely unattended and don't engage with it, you will still be able to make progress. It's just so early in development that I want to work on what would be the ideal core gameplay loop. I just have to get to that loop part.
"All of the fucking grinding." Look, I know it's too grindy. It wasn't my intention. As a developer, for me it's hard to adjust these things since I know the best and most optimal way to get things, even if I play like I think most people would. It's not like I forget the game I've designed. I will be adjusting the difficulty slightly, and on top of that, I'll be adding a cheat menu to unlock stuff for those who truly don't have time and just want to JO.
"The game is aimless or unfocused." Yeah, a little, depending on what people are referring to. Some might be by choice. I like games that just throw me into a world with very little direction and let me do what I want. If I want to ignore that epic storyline you crafted, then let me do that. If there's a character you don't like, then I want you to ignore them. This game has no story, it has no objective—besides the obvious one.
For those calling me a scammer, idk man, I do what I can. I don't have massive amounts of money to just throw at programmers and modelers. I have to work within the confines of my capabilities. Yes, I know remaking a game a bunch of times looks bad. I didn't want to. Stuff keeps changing, and I have to keep adapting. I also learn new things. Sometimes I realize that something I did wasn't optimal and I have to change it. To be fair, that mostly applies to my 3D models, not so much the games.
Also, if you want to shit on the game, piss on my face, and fuck my mom, that's fine. It's the beauty of the internet, but at least give some criticism to go along with it, something I can work on, not just a free insult XD.
Lastly, if you enjoyed the game and you commented, thank you so much; it means a lot to me. Even for the people that didn't really like it or really hated it, I'm really happy that you even took the time to check out my game, even if there wasn't much to check for those who couldn't play. I hope I didn't come across as mad or combative at any point. I'm not mad at anyone; I get it. I used to be on this forum a lot before I made my games. Now I only know work.
Thanks, everyone. Love you <3
