My comment about the lenght was not a critisism. I appreciate details about your opinion.

I wanted to comment under your post because some of your points don’t feel specific to the game and I think my opinion might offer you a different view. Also this is a social platform and I just like to interact with people who take the time to express their opinions.

I still disagree with you point about community managers. Just because Concerned Ape is a stellar developer who likes to interact with poeple doesn’t mean everyone need to do it his way. There are so many devs who got swarmed by toxicity, not wanting to potentially deal with that is perfectly valid.

First of all this is a lot of text and I appreciate all the effort you have taken to express your opinion.

There are some points I would like to comment on even if I have not played the game myself. Firstly there is the Aspect of effort. While I can see how beeing on your own or exploring can be a rewarding experience, it creates the tense setting where the developer needs to assess exactly how much effort a player will put into the game. And personally I feels a game like this is mainly cozy and should not put up barriers in front of the player.

Secondly I don’t blame devs for not beeing active on social media with the community. Especially when your game is rather small this task can be really mentally exhausting and we all know how easily people get toxic on the Internet. Not everyone wants to put themselves out there, maybe they dislike the attention. They became a developer and not a social media manager after all.

Would you consider military operations in a foreign country a political theme?

Also do you think it’s okay for artists include a message in their work, even if it feels “pushed” to you? Maybe it feels essential to the creator, but since you disagree with the message it feels pushed to you.

Could you share what qualifies as “woke” for you?

I’m so hyped for this game. Glad it’s reviewing well.

Seems like a smaller event but I’m looking forward to hear more indies.

Silksong confirmed.

Really liked the game. A simple idea but incredible execution. Also love how the game is essentially the free trial for more stories told in this way

Yeah the unlocks were not a great design choice

Looks really cool, sadly not my type of genre.

On a side note I (and maybe others) don’t like the leave the lemmy app to check out your post. I get how the steam page is the most compressed source of information about the game but I would have appreciated a couple of Screenshots, even the ones from the steam page (which looks gorgeous BTW, love the layered clouds).

Just cause 2 was such a banger of a game. Part 3 was such a letdown for me because half of the map was empty. Such a ashame because the gameplay additions were really cool. My dream sequel would have been the gameplay of 3 with the map of 4.

Has he done video game’s before? I’m not familiar with him and the Web mostly show him as daredevil.

Absolutely incredible game. One member of my exclusive collection of games which might be the best games I’ll play in my life.

I’m still not certain why I enjoyed the game so much. Sure the artistic vision is incredibly executed and the game is really unique. But as a matter of fact psychosis is not a pleasant experience and I’m grad I can turn the game off whenever I please. How do you feel about this duality of a awful experience but still an enjoyable one?

I think that’s partly because it received a mayor grafic overhaul patch which included the option for Ray tracing and pushed grafic fidelity a good bit.

I’m so Happy to see Tuulik doing something new. His insight in the drama was pretty heartfelt and he seems like such a genuine guy.

Hey im all for giving Bethesda shit for publishing an incredibly bland game, but 8 reviews hardly seem like a solid foundation to make that title.

EDIT : I’ve realised that autocorrect might have gotten you since around 1, 1k user reviews still sit at around 42% positive

I’m happy the game is getting some love. Played the demo and thought the game was really unique and solid in what it wanted to be. Sadly my financial situation limits my budget for games otherwise I would have bought it just to show some support for the studio

The time capsule was such a cool idea to integrate asymmetrical multiplayer into the world

It’s no exclusive deal. You can download it straight from their website.
