[POLL] GAME SUBMISSION WAS REJECTED, I SENSE A CONSPIRACY

Let's face it, there are alot more low quality games, whatever "quality" is,
that causes this much of ruckus.... People make ugly things and fixes it along
the progress and times... to conform to a standard and community is not a one day magic. It took years.

Hey, we don't all need to "conform". This isn't Nazi Germany. I like the idea of "meeting" a standard, not "conforming" to it. Long live weird games!

But ummm if your game is bad, don't be like me with that text color thing. Go ahead and at least show evidence of change. And for heaven's sake, don't go into how it is a "conspiracy" that a relatively unknown game programmer gets rejected. It may be a conspiracy if pianotm, LockeZ, or someone else well known in the forum suddenly gets not one, but all of their submissions taken down, and everyone including me, starts mocking them. Uhhh, yea, delusions of grandeur much?

I remember my first game (The New Earth). I had a similar mentality. Now The New Earth is no more, and anti-climbing paint has been applied to where it used to be. I would hope I learned my lesson. Fun fact

Eventually, you either do the work or people ignore you. There isn't really a cause to ban, but there is plenty of cause for telling you that you're being a twit.

I actually watched that review. Is it possible for a game to look worse after looking at the initial screenshots?

Yes. It is. Mister Shark, you remember my game right? Tell everyone what happens to games where the author is in denial of the game being bad. It gets mocked.

Did you seriously call your game a "Genius Game"? Pffft. Snicker. Mwahahaha!

I'm going to play this game so I can point out all the things wrong with it.

--------------------------------------------

Starting with the absolutely terrible feature creep. I have voice acting, mp3 files for ending and opening, and two games. This game should not be 250+ MB, that's absurd. This is with hundreds of sound and picture files, loads of common events, and pretty much no impulse control concerning what to add. Still my game is not that. Not even unpacked.

Next, we have a completely jarring opening theme. Thanks for that. And it doesn't stop. Full blast tunes that are more annoying than "dramatic."

We are trying the cheater path. Have I mentioned I already hate VXAce? Don't make me hurt you. We have a single building surrounded by roads and grass, and the text is terrible. We play Yugioh. The show characters play Duel Monsters not Yugioh. Yugioh is the name of the show. Last I checked, there are few to no Yugioh tournaments in any area I've ever visited, as it has not nearly the popularity of Magic the Gathering. Why are you limited to five cards? That's not yugioh, that's five card stud. The average yugioh deck has a full 52. Neither do you bet chips. Have you even seen the show? This is not genius programming so far. Yuna looks like a girl with a bad mustache, seriously?

Okay, the "battles". Two characters facing each other in a simple screen. You didn't even bother having pictures of the monster! There is no player control. And the battle is a joke. You have a text based "battle" which you can choose to cheat or not, and the final battle involves dodging boulders for some stupid reason.

Btw. The huge file size? It's pretty much all your "wonderful" music.

Ummm, yea, this game is bad. And you should feel bad.

There is no conspiracy. Your game genuinely sucks, and if the only reason it got rejected was because of big spacious maps, the person reviewing it was being very generous. ...We are all imperfect programmers. It's part of things. But it's important to have a good sense of who you are, and take criticism. It's not good to beat yourself up, but the opposite extreme is almost worse.
