Sigh....we once again find ourselves in the realm where even though Zion ASKED for feedback and thoughts, anyone with a view that is critical or "negative" is shunned as a "hater" which isn't what they are, as a hater hates for no other reason but to hate. While from what I've read these people explained what they didn't like and have been encouraged to give their feedback and are completely entitled to that opinion. Agreeable or not.
You get in this worldview where any level of critical feedback is taken as a personal assault, and Zion, blessed as he be, has taken that better than some of the 'fans' here. Hasn't risen into attacks or anything else, and that is completely and utterly admirable. I will check this game because I like Zion's work. I'm a bit put off, I'll admit, because I sought out the first game as a fan of Kainkout. I model my own art after that style. But still, the overall story and world created has vastly interested me and as someone who is writing their own book franchise and looking into games down the line, I completely respect a writer that understands foundation building for their world and looks to the future the way Zion has.
There is nothing wrong with pointed out criticism. If someone drops a comment saying "fuck this game" without a lick of context as to why that opinion is formulated. Hater.
if someone at least takes the time to explain what they didn't like, or why for that matter, as much as others might disagree, that my friends, is not a hater.
Art and games, we have to understand these things, are largely subjective and thus you will get people you just can't sway to the side of positive support. It comes with the territory. We of course like to root out Objectivity in our video game entertainment and porn, but eh, it is what it is, because outside of mechanics and bugs you can't really be objective about the bulk of subjective entertainment.
In conclusion, thank you Zion! Regardless, it is nice to see something added to the SC world. I'm not sure on the artist, but thanks to them as well, I'll have to check them out. Keep on keeping on, those that strike out to do things like you're doing with SC is a huge inspiration for guys like me to break the mental barrier that you can't achieve any of this without money or god given skill, when really you need effort and the mindset to push forward with what you wish to create. You and others have given me that and my appreciation for it is beyond a realm I can express. Thank you again.
Cheers and be well!
