Good god, I suddenly have a hard time believing I actually expected people to act like adult human beings on the internet. I appreciate criticism and understand that people have a rightful interest in making sure the project is being well-handled and that people have an important need to voice their concerns or disappointments, but this has just gotten totally ridiculous. Anonymous blog commenting is now disabled, I'm no longer going to tolerate anonymous trolls harassing legitimate fans, patrons, and people who have well-meaning, well-thought-out criticism; show some damn respect to each other.
This goes for people lashing back against criticism, too: I appreciate that you feel strongly about the project and want to support us, but attacking well-meaning critics who make thoughtful posts does nothing to help anyone.
Hopefully having to post under a registered account will make people a little more likely to express themselves intelligently; if problems continue, I'm just going to disable commenting entirely until I can get our own dedicated forum set up.
EDIT:
As a side-note, I'm streaming a little earlier today, starting at 11:00 AM CST.
People might stop calling this a fraud, a scam or you a shameless lier if you made only one, just a single, thing that you said on this blog true. Silencing the Anons just after announcing to have 50% of the february target done around mid march seems like such a convenient way.
ReplyDeleteThis is completely ridiculous: I have done nothing but try to be as upfront and transparent as I can possibly be throughout this entire process, I've continually made admissions to my own short-comings and failures to predict timelines due to inexperience and poor foresight, and at this point try to go out of my way to make sure that people understand that my predictions are often loose estimates and attempt to set realistic expectations for the game's development.
DeleteYou have no clue how it feels to spend this amount of constant effort on a project and then to be, in return, inundated with accusations of FRAUD after already pouring literally thousands of hours into it as the sole focus of your entire life for over a year. If this is a scam then I am getting the shit end of the deal for the amount of effort I have been putting in.
Do you want to see how much work I've done? How much time I've poured into this project? Decompile the game, SEE the code I've written, watch the stream and SEE me work. I have no idea what more I can possibly give you. I am trying as hard as I can. Do you think I ASKED for this? Like I started that patreon thinking we were going to be getting anywhere near $17k a month ($17k being the amount the team ACTUALLY gets, after patreon's cut, declined credit cards, and people defrauding US)? I was given this money and told to make the game happen, and that's what I've been trying to do.

DeleteIf the future estimates are going to hold true, im sure the hate will fade pretty quickly because all the critics care about this project too and just do not want to get disappointed.

DeleteBad Harista! Don't feed the troll!
DeleteJust focus on your work and getting things done and it'll die, eventually. Though, filling the vacant staff positions should be made a priority. New hires are going to need time to get into the swing of things and you're not gonna want to get caught with them still learning in the middle of a massive rush down the road.

DeleteIf you do not like the progress pull your funding. There is nothing stopping you. However, should you suddenly acquire a skill and knowledge base to perform such tasks that this team does accomplish, I should like to troll your game and return the favor. You, I assume, have never written code? It is not fun and usually gives migraines. Also, the goal of any project is to create a product/service that is satisfactory to all parties involved. This is a part time endeavor, these people need only put in 5 or less hours a day, and seeing as they also split the income this game generates they must also support their lives with other means. This is not about us the consumers getting a half ass game. They want this done right. Finally, if Hbomb or anyone would like help in these matters I will offer my services for free ..... message me for requirements.
Delete"Do you think I ASKED for this?"
DeleteYes, I do. The moment you decided to go the crowd-funded indie developer route you signed on for exactly ALL of the things that are happening right now. I have exactly zero sympathy for the amount of work you're having to put into the project (giving you the benefit of the doubt that you're not lying or otherwise over-exaggerating those claims) because you specifically signed yourself up to do so when you decided to take on this project AND decided to begin taking people's hard-earned money to fund it.
And, speaking of that, you can cut the sympathy crap right then and there regarding funding; do you REALLY think you're the only one who gets to play the "I'm working hard for this money" card? What about all the people who are working in absolute crap jobs, waiting tables, serving fast food, bagging groceries, driving trucks, or any other such jobs far removed from the realm of game development, who are out there in the world putting actual sweat and tears into getting their paychecks every month? You need to realize that the people donating to your project work hard for their money, and in donating it to your project's development have a very strong vested interest in how that money is being (mis)used. If you even put on the appearance of not living up to your stated goals for a second, you better bet you're gonna get grief over it, because the rest of us in the real world working in hard damn jobs don't get to just slack at our leisure or consistently fail to deliver on our workload - if we do that, we don't continue to collect a paycheck; we get FIRED.
I like this game (for the most part), and I'm hopeful it'll get to completion. But if this victimized reaction is what we're going to keep seeing out of you, frankly I don't think you're going to last. Being a game developer is hard work, and dealing with angry users makes an already heavy workload that much heavier; but by sidestepping a publisher and going the crowd-funding route you've brought all of this on yourself. Cut the crap already, suck it up, and be a professional.
WORD ^^^^
DeleteBut, still see both sides :) maybe it is the biggest project they have done and they are overwhelmed.
See, this is EXACTLY why I fucking despize GamerGate, even when h-devs throw them a bone and let the player character literally fuck their personally-crafted waifu, (and a p shit one at that) they'll still try to justify and continue to harass people with pseudo-intellectual, self entitled excuses like "hurr Crowd-Funding = bad".
DeleteGoobergate, as well as Anti-SJWs in general, never gave a fuck about this industry, hence why they harass indie devs for daring to work at a slow-but-steady pace and not give a AAA-tier title with just the chump change crowdfunding sites whittle the actual earnings down to. It's why they prefer whining that people disagree with their political views on the internet instead of actually fighting for "ethics" or "actual" equal rights.
In all honesty, I think this team really should remove Vampire James from the game and replace her with... Shit, I dunno... The maid character Ucogi created comes to mind thanks to the St. Patrick's Day flash game they made, I guess.

Deleteadding to Nathan's they could also be working on more than just this project, trust me when I say that just one large project is hard enough, but juggling more than one along with everyday life, deadlines are going to be missed and things will fall behind. the fact that they're still trying is what amazes me. I probably would've thrown in the towel for how much crap their catching just trying to do as big a project as this seems to be.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteAgain they do not have to fund this project. 4k a month = 1k a week .... lets say they support a family of 3 on that that would be 250 a week in food not to mention 800/4 so 200 for rent and then gas 100 and .... 550 a month down the shitter for bills. That leave them with 450 a week and 1800 a month minus 300 car payment and lets say 200 in credit card debt .... 1300 x 12 = 16,000 ish a year left over. Now we subtract 150 a month for basic health care we are around 14,000..... ooh wait they need their teeth cleaned and a physical so another 1000 .... so we are at... 12,000 give or take...... so 1000 a month to spend on fun things !!! 250 a week to buy toys with or fix a tire, or get new glasses, or anything else they need.
DeleteAll Im saying is it is easy to assume people are living it up with your money but it isnt always the case.

DeleteWell, I might as well add my 2 cents here. I'd just like to see one thing. A working game. By that I do not mean to a high standard. I'd suggest you deliver a game asap. Don't worry about missing animations or tiny little things. The most frustrating thing is that the newer versions of this game don't work as well as 5.3.
DeleteBesides I'd like to see more content or at least progress into new content (like the ferals). Overall I'm not making a fuss and I'm certainly patient but I have to agree that it is slow progress. However, 5.8 looks promising but unfortunately I can't get very far as long as you can't sell monsters (lil' bug).
You've come a long a way, I thank you for creating a fun game. Just focus and stop promising (I know you mean well, but you shoot yourself in the foot this way). I'm looking forward to the next version.

ReplyDeleteH-Bomb im with you 100% i make games as well and let me tell you i understand the work put down on a project, Many may moan and stuff and complain but i personally dont care, it takes time to make a game and im sure if every game developer could release their game every next day then they would.
ReplyDeletePeople need to learn to WAIT for stuff!
and guys cmon he have said he was sorry about the delays and promises, things dont get done faster even if you complain.
For the guys that lashes out super hard: Just dont pay the man then? if your soo unhappy about the progress and promises just dont give that dollar? simple logic
That's my logic too. If you don't feel you're getting your money's worth, then don't spend said money. While I want this game to be successful, if that many people are really having issue the best way to show it - and be heard - is to drop the funding. It will really make the crew take restock on how they're doing things. Otherwise, it just sounds like bitching haters that are pissed they couldn't figure out how to make a game enjoyable enough that they can make a career out of it.

DeleteMan, "no u" arguments that also end up making the user call the kettle black sure is ethical and self-aware.
Delete10/10 best shitposting.
i am not a patreon supporter so i can only view my own opinion - and that is that you are doing something really great and it would be a shame if you stop doing it just because some a-holes simply can't get enough. The Human is a greedy one (especially in terms of adult content :D) but ignoring them completely would backfire on you as hard as it sounds.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, i saw the artworks s-purple did for the st.patricks day event and i have to say the vampire lady is absolutely marvelous - is there any chance that we could see more of her in the future ? in particular scenes with some male character ^^

DeleteI want to start off by saying that most of the critics/complainers/trolls/haters (however you wish to define them) do have a very valid point. Especially since H-Bomb's learning curve isn't as shallow as he had hoped, he does need to learn to tone down what he predicts he can accomplish before the next update. It is better to surprise the fans with MORE than predicted, than to piss them off by giving them a fraction of a percentage.
ReplyDeleteThat's not to say he - and the crew - aren't moving as fast as they are able, but they are still learning. It is far better to say "We should have at least half of the items working by next update" and have them all working than to say "We're gonna try to have new animations, the items working, and the map back up" and then only have Dickwolf Jizz functional (random example).
All that aside, and going back on topic here. I'm honestly surprised it kept this long to disable the anon comments. These guys are far more patient than I. Especially when I was one of the people that had a legit question (moot now) and it was buried under a dozen replies of anons bitching about the funding (something I wasn't even talking about in my OP).
There's a quote I found a few years back that has become my mantra: "Any video game player knows that if you're coming across enemies it means you're going the right way."
All I see you doing is slowing down production so you get more payments from Patreon. With a history of taking money and running and now being unable to handle upset people that put money into a project that will never be seen at this rate. Even now several other designers just dropped their links to you over how badly you handle things making them look bad just for mentioning Breeding Season on thier site.
ReplyDeleteCould you elaborate on the "history of taking money and running" please ?
DeleteYou probably were not around but even on the Krystal Forums moderators closed the thread for a period of almost 8 months when he stopped development and refused to talk to anybody. Projects that raised thousands of dollars were cut and no refunds allowed and he made no attempts at contact with the outside world until he suddenly came back like nothing ever happened. Many people also noticed that with the old design he used to update several times a month adding new art and character interactions. Now with an inproved system updates come whenever he feels like it. Take a look back a couple months when he answered some mail from fans about him not keeping up with any schedule that he set. Meanwhile he is more then happy to take money each month. Lets see if he stops taking payments for a couple years to meet any of the old content promised and fully paid for.

DeleteHeya H. sorry to see that it had to come to disabling anon comments, but in the end it's probably for the best; people fall back on anonymity when they want to vent in a way that hey -know- isn't appropriate. When you remove that, and make people take at least some minor level of responsibility for what they say and, more importantly, how they say it... people tend to moderate themselves a bit better.
ReplyDeleteIt is still unfortunate, because not everyone who would be commenting is going to own up to putting even something as simple as an internet tag to themselves... and there are so, so many people who are so, so emotionally invested in this game. I think it's also a bit sad that so many of them seem to equate only visible, play-end things as progress. I've seen mountains of people equating animations put in with game progress, and vengefully declaring that 'nothing was done' in the times when nothing visually new was added.
More than anything else, I just don't want you or anyone else on the team to get discouraged or browned off. It doesn't matter to me, personally, if you guys are or aren't as efficient or as fast as others might say you could or should be... what matters is that you guys are the ones doing it, and if you all decide it isn't worth the headache... it stops. I don't want to see that happen, so any time I swing by here to check the comments, I try to do my best be to something of a placating voice towards some of the more vitriolic posters.
I still seem to end up.. well... 'arguing on the internet'. Oh well. Keep trucking guys and girls; you've got this girls mark at least, and you will have for as long as the project endures.

DeleteAs much as it's hard to tell online, I am genuinely pondering if it's possible for you to write a post that doesn't drip with sarcasm or derogatory name-calling. You spend most of your posts insulting and mocking the creator, and I wonder what you're actually trying to achieve by that. It's not being informative to others, since you could do that just as easily without the name-calling and mockery, and you'd ruffle fewer feathers if you did... so what then? Simply to vent?
DeleteI mentioned progress when I commented that some people seem to be, quite erroneously, equating 'progress' to 'added animations and visuals' ... and you responded to me by doing exactly that. Nice.
You've mentioned a few times your little analogy about giving money to beggars, but it's a false analogy, and it doesn't hold water. A false analogy, if you're curious, is one that bears some similar traits to what it is being held up against, but in reality is not in any real way analogous. The normal example of a false analogy runs thus:
"It is obvious that dogs have sap. Trees are living things, you see, and they have sap in them. Dogs, too are living things, so of course, they also have sap."
That is what your little homeless beggar analogy does, and it is meaningless. You've called standing around 'warning' people that he's going to take the money and do nothing a helpful and informative thing. If it were a fact, then it would be, however, it's not fact; it's subjective opinion, and it's identifiably false at that.
You, and a couple of others, have likened disabling anon commenting as attempting to create a vacuum, silence people, or otherwise censor and stop people from voicing their opinions. That is probably the most laughable claim I've yet seen.
No-one is being silenced, no-one is being prevented from voicing their opinion, no-one is being censored. No-one is being blocked from having their say in any way at all whatsoever. They just have to take the effort of putting a name to themselves, and accepting a very, very small amount of personal responsibility for what they say.
If all of the previously anon comments that spent most of their efforts calling the artist names and deriding them, still wish to do so, then they are EVERY BIT as capable of doing so now, as they were then. So you and others here who want to wave a banner shouting about censorship and silencing opinions can, quite frankly, stow that garbage.

DeleteIt seems to me that all the commenters with actual experience making games (unlike me, ha!) are satisfied with the effort but we're dissatisfied with the level of transparency. Now that the streaming is a regular thing, I think that objection is sorted.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Breeding Season team, I created a blogger profile just for you. Aren't you flattered?
Deletey-you too
DeleteSorry but that was just a new low on a long list of lows. What makes you think that it is a good idea to just throw all of those anonymous comments into the very same "troll"-box? Sure, there were a few that were out-of-line, no doubt. But there were just as many that raised valid points. Them being Anons doesn't amke them wrong or evil by default.
ReplyDeleteI'm just saying, it would be a lot better for your integrity to face opposing arguments with good argument of your own, instead of just censoring options. I also want to remark that quite a lot of named people around here, that were obviously under the impression to serve as a defensive wall, were just as offensive towards the so-called "trolls".
Sporting a fancy name doesn't automatically make everything right.
True Sporting a fancy name doesn't automatically make everything right but this will has fixed a big problem you may see this as a "new low on a long list of lows" but this is an improvement IT HAD TO BE DONE.
DeleteI like seeing names better than 12 anons in a row. Easier to respond to as well.
DeleteGood for you. I had been plotting/contemplating a futile tirade on some of the commenters, but this was clearly this was the better solution.
ReplyDeleteNow I am plotting/contemplating a futile tirade on an array of named individuals.
But seriously, I've been a low-value (I hardly contribute or donate ever -.-') follower since you started on the Legend of Krystal forums, and I appreciate the work you do and that your missed goals were just overly-optimistic and never deceptive. I'll probably be sticking with the project as long as you keep putting out material. For now I see it like an early alpha, and I look forward to a steady progression into open beta and multimillion dollar competitive e-sport.

ReplyDeleteCannot say i approve disabling anonymous comment, but mainly because i was too lazy to actually log in.
ReplyDeleteA good point though, if you actually got annoyed by troll that mean that now you read the comments often enough :)
I kinda remember a few year back when you never had the time to actually read them.
Well I really apreciate your transparency, the time you are pourring in this ; even though i liked the old gameplay :p
As many told you guy already :
- Sucess always come with it's share of nuissance, it take a lot of perspective to be able to take in both side of it.
- You always get haunted by the critics of a few amidst the sea of compliments, don't let it bother you : It's human nature.
- EVEN if you don't meet your deadline, never forget your objective ! Learn from every mistakes and carry on the next cycle !
- We are all behind you, from all around the globe and to different extent but we are all here nonetheless.
... See what you made me write ? i'm hungry now... DAMN.

DeleteThis needed to happen. People forget that although some have paid to help complete this game, you are not a major corporation that can pump this stuff out in a month! Also, the fetish porn game industry (as I like to call it) simply does not have enough people who can actually produce results. With "Breeding Season" you are catering to peoples wants, not needs, and some are acting like a good fap is the only way to save their lives. As a personal note my funds are limited, but I would like to help so I promote this game regularly to anyone who I feel would appreciate it! Thank you very much for your efforts and keep up the good work team!!!!
ReplyDeletelol I almost feel scared to say anything. for real though this stuffs hard. i think a lot of people got aggravated because of the monthly cost of the game. Most big game companies make promises and then the game completely changes they have deadlines and delays. sometimes it take longer than you'd think sometimes. I used to program, It was just beginning stuff, simple code. it took a while just to do simple stuff. since H-bomb is learning new tricks while on the job and as he stated before he had to re write the code to get it in an easier format to work with (which is really nice when its all in that format) but the grueling process of going through all that code to fix it I would not want to do. otherwise nothing will get done much until the format is the same. it seems like the process is nearly complete so it'll be easier to make more content since its easier to work with.

ReplyDeleteBloop.
ReplyDeleteHello MK Bloop Bloop :)
Delete'Bout damn time. I consider this a good move. There was too much bitching.
ReplyDeleteAnother thing I keep noticing many a time, even in comments written by named accounts, even here in this blog post is tongue lashing and whining about how much money you, Hartista Pipebomb, make. It is curious because you have explained that all that money does not go only to you and the net number isn't even accurate because of declined or fraudulent payments. But even ignoring that... every time people vent at you and your crew for making money and you are putting forth effort I can't really see a valid argument. It just smacks of jealousy and continued ranting out of ignorance.
I've still payed the $10 a month for a handful of months now. I have not been catered to with every new development and I'm not happy when deadlines are missed. But you know what? I don't take it personally. I choose to continue giving my money and I am astounded at how far you've come since the game first showed up. It's grown by leaps and bounds. It's impressive. And as long as you continue to do your best I don't see what else I can ask of you other than nudging you toward my interests, haha.
I can appreciate critics and even harsh ones; it's good to have many kinds of input for growth. But there have been a fair share of useless and distracting rants from people who act like they are trying to tell you something important or make you realize how pretty you're sitting. It's just an annoyance.

DeleteI'm just a lowly tech writer fresh from ini out on the arse end of nowhere and I make almost 50 000 USD per annum. The company for whom I write has loads of young programmers who probably make twice what I do, and live in flats in California that aren't half the size of mine. So, I don't think they're swimming in pool full of cash.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteWhat I'm saying is what all the blokes who seem to know anything have been saying: if you expected a team that would have accurate predictions and write everything in a flash, then you must be expecting the best. Fair enough, but the sticky bit is that the best are blokes in California making two or three or five times as much as rest of us. And they must be worth it, because here I am typing on a product made by those people, paid for by my salary earned from those people, on a service run by those people about a game coded with software designed by those people distributed on a network run by those people. Sure, if the Breeding Season team were working at Google and couldn't figure out how to get things done, I'm sure they'd have been fired, but they'd also have been paid, I don't know, 75k USDs a month, between the four of them?

DeleteGood references, though here's mine, and it matches what I'm told by the people I work for:
Deletehttp://www.indeed.com/salary/q-Software-Engineer-l-Santa-Clara-Valley,-CA.html
Plus, don't American businesses have to pay loads of extra stuff that doesn't figure in the salary, like health care, and extra tax and the like, not to mention office expenses? I don't think those numbers account for all that, do they?
but setting aside all that, it's pretty clear that Hartista expected to be paid like a starting programmer, and had no expectation of how far things would go. There's no Patreon tier that says "magically turn Hartista into an ace programmer with 20 years experience". I don't know how I'd feel being paid like an ace tech writer despite having just started out, but I bet it wouldn't be entirely pleasant.

DeleteI'm actually just a contractor, but I work with people in the States. I can't imagine it's illegal for them to let on in a general way about how much they and their mates make. For an indie game maker, I imagine that they're paid a bit on spec. Small salary, plus a percent of profits, which could be small or enormous, like at a startup where they give out options that might be worth loads, or might be worthless.
DeleteThe reason why I mention business expenses, tax and the like is because if you want to know what it costs Google or Apple or whomever to employ a programmer, then that's what it costs. You may say the the Breeding Season team's costs are lower, but they may not be that much lower, what with self-employment tax and all (though I think S-Purple isn't in America?). Besides, Google and all them could decide to leave everyone at home and save money on offices, but I think it's a lot easier to coordinate when you're all in the room together. Heaven knows I have a hard time keeping track of things using only Google chat and the occasional joinme.
At any rate, maybe, if Hartista had known his budget ahead of time, he might have said, "I'm going to do X to make sure development goes like a bomb", but he didn't, did he? Point of fact, he did not actually ask for as much money as he's getting, nor is he spending as much as he's getting, banking it against future fluctuations in patronage. That actually seems quite responsible to me.
As for the bit about "software engineer", I don't know what to tell you. The programmers all seem to be called software engineers. Never met anyone with the title "programmer" and I'm not sure what the difference is.
"Programmer" isn't usually a job description, it's a task common to the job descriptions like "Software Engineer", "Software Developer", and other titles with the somewhat-misleading word "engineer" in them. Usually if 'programmer' is part of the job title, it's a contract job with somewhat restricted responsibilities. If I were to name Hbomb's job, it would be 'Lead Developer', a job that typically pays in the 150-250k range*. Of course, Hbomb isn't remotely qualified for the job and he would get crushed if he got hired as one.
DeleteBut FOF is right here. Hbomb never represented himself as anything other than what he is and he didn't ask to be paid like a dev lead. There's no relationship between how much he's being paid and how good he's going to be at estimating schedules or how good he is at meeting them. All that he can do is do and learn. At this point in the cycle I'm not even sure I would recommend he continue to try to find a project manager, because a good project manager is likely to be incredibly expensive, and a bad project manager can be worse than none at all. Instead I'd recommend hiring either a developer with QA/test experience, or a QA engineer with experience coding in ActionScript.
One thing against the above argument is that game developers are paid significantly less than they would be for similar responsibilities in other industries, mainly because there's so many good devs who are willing to work for less if it means they get to create cool games. I'm not sure that applies to porn games, though. I haven't done a comprehensive survey of them, but most of them seem like cheap garbage with a few animations and recycled/stolen art as window dressing over a small set of preexisting mechanics. I don't actually think there's much of a professional porn game industry and compensation varies wildly from 'print money for no effort' to 'barely defray the expenses of a labor of love'. Furries in particular seem willing to build large games for free, which is how BS started. And furries in particular seem willing to fund creators of furry or furry-friendly projects like BS. I suppose compensation rates amongst furry-ish game developers is a race between the generosity of creators bringing the 'going rate' down and the generosity of patrons bringing it back up. It would be a pretty fascinating economics study.
*Unless at a startup, where it might be as low as 100k, plus hefty non-salary compensation.
150-250k range for my area, which is San Francisco/Silicon Valley. And I have to say, there's no way in hell that the same job in Santa Fe is going to be paid nearly as much as here. I don't know how the BLS came up with those figures, but I have to speculate that it's either some weird small-sample-size aberration or a difference in job coding between Santa Fe and other places. Bethasda Maryland and Seattle seem more plausible. And then we hit Alabama, with Silicon Valley not even on the list? Doesn't pass the sniff test.
DeleteI guess there's one more possible explanation: there are lots of kids fresh out of college in Silicon Valley who get paid very well for brand new engineers but still lower than experienced engineers elsewhere. Meanwhile, there are at least hypothetically places like Anniston, Alabama where there are basically no junior engineers, thus vaulting them up the list.
I guess his sanctity got paranoid that he will lose money and decided to ban half the guys posting here. Good job Lord Programmer ! Maybe you will release a functioning version of the game in 3 years, when only the members of your team will be allowed to post anymore on this blog. Keep going, fuck the haters !

DeleteI'm so sorry, you are 1000% right. I shouldn't talk out of my ass i ain't no programmer. Our Lord spends his free time for our own happiness, and most ungrateful fucks like me, have the guts to question him. I deserve eternal hell and damnation. I will donate 500$ now just because i feel my heart full of love, thinking about Kami sama's everyday sacrifice.

ReplyDeleteI agree with what the majority of other people are saying. You're acting like a child. Quit bitching at people with valid complaints calling you out for not doing what you're supposed to be doing.
ReplyDeleteIf you can't do what you are paid to do, then stop taking the damn money. You're currently getting paid more than 5 times what you asked for and are delivering less than half the expected output. That money was not a gift. People are gonna be pissed if you don't do what you have to do the same way you'd be pissed if that fast food guy gave you just the top bun when you ordered a big mac trio.
You are SO lucky to be able to do what you are doing and get paid so much. Why don't you act a little more grateful and finally taking some responsibility instead of bitching and worse yet insulting the very people that allow you to do what it is you do.

DeleteWell after reading this i can kinda understand to a point because of how the comment section of anywhere is abused...just look at youtube comments...its literally hell there where people completely exclude one another opinion majority of the time.
ReplyDeleteAll I'm about to say soon is "I come here to read the funny comments on people typing over the keyboard arguing" just i usually do on youtube or on other sites
Just wish that troll guy would stop using that "His Divine Majesty" thing since it kinda belongs to Gabe Newell since the PC master race guys always call him (I think) that which today I still wonder why they call him that.
Other than that the comments here are kinda boring which was disappointing since it is not as funny as youtube commentors are...ahh~ soon, soon...
it's bad to reach this point . You started to be transparent with fan when you writed a diary of the project . I dunno how it's difficult to coding but i don't wanna you abandon for some bad toungues . ok you are slow but you progress .... it's satisfying enough for some people.
