YOUR GAME SUCKS

I have an even better idea.


People should make whatever kind of game they want to make. You just focus on making your game the best possible game you can make it.


kthx

I'm retarded (as if you couldn't tell), what does hoopuckey mean?



To clarify, I'm ALL for helping one another. That's what this thing should be about, however... in my ever so humble opinion, saying "I want you guys to start making _________" is kind of rude. People should make what they want to. You can give someone all of the advice in the world, but the best way for some people to learn (like myself) is through experience.

I was joking, and I agree with you.

I'm not going to play "it" because I think that "it" is shit. That's the problem.

If more people took the time to practice, get better, learn some stuff, buy XP/VX, and make some smaller games that some people will actually finish... man, I'd like to be a part of that RM* community.

That's fine and all, but you're just one person, and on the individual basis, why should any one game designer care what you think when they're designing their game?

Took the words right out of my mouth.


I mean seriously, no one is making games for the approval of any one person. They're doing it because they want to. That simple. If someone's game does not interest you for whichever reason, then skip it and proceed to move on with your life.

Feld: (Edit: and Yeaster) Obviously, he's making a self-observed point that applies to a great majority of people.

What he's saying is, if your goal as a game designer is to have people actually play your game, consider what he has said. If this is not your goal; if your goal is to make whatever it is you want or have fun doing it, you're more than welcome to it, just don't expect people to have a high opinion of it, or complete it.

No.


What Craze is essentially saying is: "People should make more games like mine" which is.................no. Just no. Craze's games are good because they're one of a kind, but I would want everyone want to make the same kind of stuff.

The beautiful thing about humanity is that we are all different people, with different ideas and tastes. What may not appeal to you, may appeal to other people and vise versa. I know I've released my first three games on several different sites, and they have all been much better received (and played!) than they have been on here. So there you have it.

No one can really predict an RM game's success. It just kind of happens. If you try to go out of your way to make an RM game that you think the masses will enjoy, you'll run the risk of losing your motivation to finish it, because it won't be something that you REALLY want to make. It'd be a soulless project made out of vanity/desperation for internet popularity.

A good game is a good game, whether it's 20 hours or 20 minutes.

No.

Ok, so I was wrong when I used the word "obviously."

Really, look deeper into what's being said rather than who is saying it. Craze put it the way he did because he's egotistical. He's saying, "hey, I've made games, and you know it, here's some insight as to how I got them done."

He targeted a specific group of people at the beginning of his first post. He's NOT saying, "I want you guys to make games like mine." What he's actually saying is, "You are putting a lot of time and effort into an epic fantasy RPG and the majority of people aren't ever going to see most of it."

Craze has a big head, but he's not stupid. He knows people are going to make what they want. It's just a wake up call.

Again. No.

Craze is not the be all and end all of RPGM'ing. He is not the first to have a successful RM game and he won't be the last. His word is not gospel. No one cares about any "wisdom" he feels he is entitled to arrogantly bestow upon others.

People are going to do what they want to do regardless of what he or anyone else says, and that's all there is to it.

Deal.
