DRUNKEN_PALADIN'S PROFILE

Solitayre made a few legitimate points in this review that I've considered during the hours spend updating and adding features to make the game more enjoyable.

In my field, criticism is omnipresent; being a writer and being afraid of getting your hands dirty is virtually irreconcilable. I would hope that once I release the next expansion/overhaul, he gives it another play-through.

Even though at the end of the day this is just a hobby and something I do in my (fairly limited) spare-time, I want it to be as enjoyable as possible.

There have actually been 3 5-star reviews, but 2 of them were deleted by moderators because they were considered too opinionated and subjective. That's a fascinating subject all on its own, but I won't get into it.

All in all, I can't say it matters a whole lot. People tend to play the game and develop their own opinion regardless of a negative review or two, and believe it or not, this is a pretty small piece of the Internet. A lot of people have been e-mailing me and sending private messages about the drama here, but in the end, all press is good press.

The only thing that bothers me is when someone who appears sensible in the comments makes a note that they haven't bothered to play the game based on their impression of the fan-base. I won't twist your arm, but anyone will tell you not to judge a book by its cover. =P

This game doesn't take itself seriously, and I don't take myself that seriously either. If there's anything I've learned from the last 2 and a half years of development on this game, it's that if you take yourself seriously, you also probably won't like the game.

Come on guys, it's a video game about an alcoholic paladin.

Lighten up! This isn't "War and Peace!"

But Sonar, I appreciate the sentiment, so don't think I'm being ungrateful. Just try to have fun with the game, is all I can ask. ;D

Glad you enjoyed the game, Illustrious, and thanks for the 5-star rating!

I'll take your comments into consideration and see what I can do about fixing that weird problem with the cacti.

I'm honored by your words, Lord Kries. Thank you for the review!
