My motto is: if you don't like, don't play it. Period.
KsT work hard for that game. Try it on yourself to creat a game like this with all the graphics, renders, movement, scripting etc... In my eyes it's not fair to talk about KsT like this. This man is doing a great job.
This message goes to all who get upset
That's terrible thinking mixed in politeness.
We are not "upset". If you think we are angry, hitting the table talking about KST's work, you are wrong. We are not.
I don't know how to make a game. it's not my job. Do you think I'm physically and mentally unable to ever make a game? Maybe it would take me 10 years, and it would take 1 year for someone smarter than me. But I can manage anything. If you can do it, I can do it. That's my motto.
And yes, it's a great job... But it had a terrible start and after years, we still see the consequences of that start.
If you study game design, you will notice that most game developers fought to find a way to use the resources they have to do more.
Like the DOOM series. 1993, how to do some illusion of 3D with technology that can't handle 3D. 2001 DOOM 3, how to display beautiful graphics with limited computing power? Let's hide the textures that aren't visible because of darkness. We only display the textures visible because there is light on them, so we can use heavier more beautiful textures focused on only the visible objects. GENIUS. A trick that requires extra work from the developers to make the computer do more effective effects and do less useless tasks.
That's the magic of game development.
KST is doing the opposite.
He didn't plan his game ahead. (he didn't do his homework). So all the characters and objects are displayed in a location. Then everything is hidden to keep only the objects needed.
So when you are in the beach in The Twist. All the characters that even existed in the beach are loaded around. But invisible to you.
You only see the characters you want in that particular scene you are playing. But your computer loaded them and is storing them.
And from time to time, there is a bug, and you see a character than shouldn't be there appear. Oopsy...
KST is more of an artist or an art strong team.
When it comes to technology, the level is basic.
Heads and shoulders above what you can find in the forum here, if you ask me.
But the game is slow on powerful computers. It's not optimized. We appreciate the work done. But we point at the weak points in the project. No to destroy or sink the ship, but to learn.
This is constructive criticism.
We need to give up on that mindset of "you support the project or you shut up."
That's weak, mate.
In life, we need friends, not buddies. Friends tell you the truth, the ugly truth, even when you won't enjoy it. Even if it makes you hate them.
Buddies would tell you "yeah, jump out that window and roll in that rusty scrap metal, it's so cool. I'm filming. We are getting rich with that."
