Why so much hate?

[Victor Hate]

Now that my game is close to being approved on steam I have been reading all the feed back in the comments on the greenlight post and now...I am kinda worried.


I have been cool and collected about most of the things being said ( When it comes to an rpg maker game to many people have been burned by ****ty games. that  fail to deliver.)


I have been sure that players will like the story and the game play but now..am I am bit worried about one thing in the game.


One hitting points in the story is about a married couple who are the key reason why all the stuff in the game happens.


Now


I am a sucker for love stories and I wanted to do something different and unique something I have never done before.


I am sitting down and thinking....hey this is a fantasy world...why not do this!


What I ended up doing was having a human male marry a Milo( Humanoid creature) woman.


Now the reason this happens is because they are the first to have an event happen to them that is pretty much a bond created when two people look at each other causing them to connect


(in short they are soul mates)


Now I have been getting negative feed back because of this....and I do not know why.


I thought it would be a cute and new idea


Because I have them face the same issues a interracial couple would have face back in the day and you get to see that in the game.


During the story of them a event happens that is the main focus point of my game because it is a tragic tale.


Later in the game the wife is brought back to life in a human body and has to rediscover who she is and what had happened to herself and her husband as she travels with the main hero

You should give a link to your project, so those who haven't heared about it yet could check it out. 


As for the hate, I think people are just being people. Some of them just can't like these things, because they are so narrow minded or just trolls (*******s). I think it is an interesting idea, and I wish good luck to you with the project.

I wouldn't let yourself get caught up with haters.


Just make the best game that you can, if you do that and you know that you have, then you can't do anymore.


There will always be haters, regardless of the size of game or anything else. Go check out any game forum and you'll often find that the sheer level of vitriol is astonishing. If games makers constantly took notice of people with nothing better to do than be dismissive and actively horrible, nothing would ever get made at all.


It sounds like an interesting idea, so long as the end result is something that YOU are happy with, then that's cool.


You need to make sure that you differentiate between constructive feedback - (which is useful and important) - and trash comments - (which are neither useful, nor are they important).

The best AAA games in the world are filled with haters. Why expect your game, an amateur project, to fare any better? Thick skin is important nowadays, especially if you're making anything different.

Getting this far in a project is sure to get lot of attention, including bad ones. My suggestion as well is to ignore it. I am so bad I am usually ignored so I don't really get that much hate. Or attention at all... But if steam is actually considering your game, you are almost there, so ignore the hate and keep it up.


Also, as J_C said you should have a link to your work, now I am curious as well!

Write what you like and make the game the best you can with the tools you have. Don't mind the haters which will always exist

Nice job. That's some pretty good artwork you have there. Maybe it needs a little more non-RTP tiles, but it looks nonetheless.

Good job on this and don't worry about the hateful posts on Greenlight. It's filled with trolls and bitter people who will spam your game's wall with nasty comments. The only ones you should listen to are those giving legit criticism with the intention to help you improve the game.

"It's RPG Maker, so it's bad"


This is the mentality of many on Steam, get used to ignore it and you will do just fine.

I have tuff skin about things.


am just going to hope that this will be something a lot of people will enjoy

 

[Victor Sant]

Just focus on the ones that are giving positive feedback and constructive criticism. The haters you can just pretend they aren't there, they aren't relevant.
