All of these sites try to push people into clicking and commenting without engaging their heads first. The people giving you crap don't realise this is your first Amiga game. They think this is some pro studio thing that's not living up to their insane standards.
To me that's a badge of honour. It looks way better than anything I could do. |

If I'm to believe evey comment I've ever read about the Amiga 500, then it is a super computer capable of arcade perfect ports of any game ever and pees all over PC.
I look forward to all the comments about my games feeling 8 bit, not that there's anything wrong with that. |

I dont want to be the bearer of bad news, but you appear to actively look out for opinions you don't agree with and then react to them.
A reminder that polite suggestions from me on Facebook to you were not received by YOU in the way they were intended, I have no clue why you actively seek out dissenting opinion at all when you don't appear to be great at dealing with it. If you are expecting universal praise for your game, tough luck, you won't get it. You think you've got it hard? I see people commenting on videos of Turrican 2, slagging it off lol Its not an Amiga thing, its human nature, you can choose to let those negative opinions affect you, or you could analyse if there is anything there of value to consider. If there is nothing that those negative opinions can offer you.....move on, don't dwell on them, certainly don't post a thread giving morons airtime, telling them their opinions bug you, you will only embolden them to give you more. If you're happy with the game, if plenty of people have supported you and bought your game to make your endeavours feel worthwhile, then that is all that matters. This self flaggelation is a waste of time, you absolutely can not please everyone, you could deliver Z-Out levels of greatness, and someone would still find fault with it. They don't care its your first game, they don't care how long it took you to write it, they don't care it was largely one guy that wrote it, they don't care, they've already moved onto another video to bitch about something else. Your game is clearly liked by many, has been well received by many, I have no idea why you would fixate yourself on the musings of a tiny percentage that likely didn't even support you by buying it. If someone doesn't like what I do, I literally couldn't care less, because there are plenty that do. Embrace the positives. |

Youtube is an absolute cesspit, the most honest and good intentioned videos get downvoted and have awful comments.
Ignore the negative comments, youre better than that and above it. Its honestly a waste of time dwelling on them, loads of Amiga fans love your game, focus on that |

Yeah, I have fond memories of playing Katakis back in 1988 like anybody else, but it had basically 8 shades of grey and blue and played like a dog with random shit flying at you all the time. |

Was defintely a poor man R-Type, beside on graphics also on the strategy - or lack thereof, but good until the real port did come out

@Galahad: +1.
@Steril707: Even applications (I mean "not games") get bashed strongly criticized. Look at OS 3.1.4 and now 3.2. Personally I dislike this Windows OS that I have to use at work (but I have to pay my bills), I think that most of "modern" games are way too much resources hungry for what they deliver. Your game is what it is. Some like it, some don't. Examine the global without focusing on a specific side and continue what you like to do since many, if not the most, think you do it well .

One person's "bashed" is another persons honest personal opinion. It is only as bad as the label that you apply to it.

The phrase “Man up” needs to disappear, and it will, thankfully. Here in this thread, an individual was looking for the opportunity to vent some emotional difficulties. Had this been a traditionally female space, some support and healing could have happened. But like so many things, old, rigid masculinity comes into play and that opportunity to vent is denied. The person’s needs are dismissed, he is given some “tough love” and told to chin up, but the feelings are never resolved. And this is why we have such a high male suicide rate, people are ashamed to ask for help. As to the reason why people seem more offended these days, (and that sounds like it offends you ) there’s a number of reasons: 1. Minorities have become bold enough to speak out, and say “this isn’t ok behaviour”. 2. People have different, innate levels of sensitivity. This can be affected by neurological differences like Autism. Some school bullying victims for instance, are pretty much unscathed, some need years of therapy. Years of hard hard graft. And these innate sensitivity levels can’t really be changed, perhaps, like MAX, 10% either way in your lifetime if you really work at it. You are not the arbiter of how everyone else should feel. So the answer to “why is everyone so offended these days?” Is because they are legitimately upset by another person’s actions, they are not “putting it on for attention” or for sympathy, they are legitimately upset. As a mental health worker, it’s my job to try and help these people. So stop telling people to “Man up”, and don’t make my job harder than it needs to be. |

*eyeroll* If you really are a mental health worker, you should be much, much better in understanding and classifying different conditions and recognizing that OP is not some sort of trauma survivor and doesn't need "support and healing". You just saw the phrase "man up" and jumped in with the sermon. And this kind of opportunism is precisely what everybody is tired of these days. It's also a big disservice to people with real mental problems, so you're actually making your job harder yourself. |

I can hold myself quite well against those assholes on Youtube. And my idea of "manning up" is definitely not putting my tail between my legs and run away or "just take every beating and smile".
I really wonder though, and that's probably the idea about this thread, why a lot of people in the Amiga scene are still so toxic on its creative people ever after all these good last few years. I see it again an again. Definitely not only with my stuff, but with many others as well. |
