Pom Gets Wi-Fi

author=Me-Patra
However, rather than wasting your energy on hate, you should use it to make a game so mind-bogglingly good that everyone forgets about my game.

I'd love to be able to do this, but even the greats of the community that earned their recognition through honest effort took years to accomplish what your game obtained in a matter of days, and even then they've fallen short and will continue to do so for as long as Pewdiepie's "Pom Gets Wi-Fi" videos receive views. It's no longer anything that can be gauged on genuine merit, if it ever was. If it wasn't, I'm mistaken. All anyone can hope to do is make a game that can get some decent reviews from some people and hope someone else doesn't come along to shit on it just for giggles.

Frankly, I think we should just do away with the download ticker that way people like me who let the stupidest stuff get under their skin once in a blue moon will have one less thing to worry about. We should be more concerned with what makes up a game rather than how often people give it the time of day anyway, right? Whodathunk that big numbers exhibited by someone other than one's self might make one feel inadequate in a community founded around RPGs? That's some final boss grinding shit right there.

EDIT: What it really boils down to is why bother making a game that's mind-bogglingly amazing when a game that deliberately disregards things that make games seem "professional" will still bubble to the top? Why don't we all just make still picture screensaver RM games and let that take up the entirety of RMN?

Nobody should be annoyed at you for making a game, what's been happening is simply a knee-jerk reaction to the first known example of an RPG Maker game literally going viral, and it's this.

@Corfaisus and calunio: Truth. Bad things get popular, good things get overlooked, and it's unfair but that's life. What I was trying to say was something more along the lines of, "It's only human to be annoyed at me, but that's not going to help anything." Even if you don't have enough luck to make a game more popular than mine, I still stand by my original statement that being fired up by your anger and doing your best is more productive than cursing the world and playing emo music.

I don't understand why you put our names together, seeing that I said the opposite of what he said.

And don't worry, no one is angry at you, and having that many players makes it only natural that some of them will not like your game. But "if you don't like it, I dare you to do better" is never a good answer. I do like your game, as you'll see in my pending review.

@edchuy: It's a matter of statistics. If the site has so many new members, at least part of them will stick around... post, comment, make their own games. That's how things start.

You are very lucky that Pewdiepie decided to play this game. I'm happy for you ^-^

It's funny because the general reactions to Pewdie playing my game on RMN and on Tumblr are polar opposites. On Tumblr, I'm getting messages are like "This is so popular that Pewdie played this?! I'm so sorry :("

on the one hand I'm sorry that it had to happen like this (since I can't imagine all the noise this sort of thing must carry with it), but on the other this looks like the sort of game that has its own staying power. so even if your first major exposure is rooted in a weird-ass army of obsessive tweens, you're not bound to that fanbase and you can continue to make work that stands on its own. I think that's what's important.

best game ever! a dog thats addicted to wifi? haha amazing! 10/10

I just had to make an account to say this.

Shit rant.

You sir, are a jealous person trying to devalue Me-Patra's success.

You, sir, are an absolute and complete douchebag, the epitome of humanity we all strive to reach, I salute you.

You're reeking jealousy because you probably made some game that you did your best to make it ''professional looking'' ( Even if you're using fucking rpgmaker) but it didn't get much attention.

Me-Petra probably put effort to get her tumblr up to amass enough popularity to reach Pewdiepie, efforts in the game to make it enjoyable even if the gameplay was shit ( which was probably the point) it was very fun and unique. Even efforts to respond back to your blatant self-righteous asshat rant respectfuly and friendly with a positiv attitude. How does that make her success not honest?

With your shitty and corrosive personality, there's no way you'll even reach a glimpse of attraction towards anything you do.


Also Me-Petra, do you have a facebook page or twitter? I'd like to follow you for updates. Thanks for the game!
