EVILEAGLES'S PROFILE

To answer your question: yes indeed there is a way to "win" the game. It's not going to be anything climatic like an elaborate cutscene or something, but rather, just like the rest of the game, simply an indicator that you've "won."

And yes, I understand what you mean and it has a lot of merits too. However, Oversight was just something, I suppose I could call it weird, I decided to make as a break away from my usual work to destress. So I didn't really want to spend too much effort on it. Ideally, of course I could've spent more effort to make it more "open" to people, but let's face it, we all have no idea what would be enough to be qualified as open and inclusive anyway?

Besides, trying to get more people to understand would also mean exposing yourself and making yourself even more vulnerable to ... external elements I suppose. I'm not brave enough yet to make a personal expressive game that tries to "let people in", and brace myself for the massive storm of comments like "I get your idea or what you're trying to do, but what you're doing here is wrong." I wouldn't be able to bear that, because I know for sure a lot of people would say that, and it would turn into an endless cycle of explaining, because everybody on the Internet thinks games are just ... games, and all games must be seen through the same lens. Obviously I'm exaggerating a bit about the "everybody" part, but you get what I mean.

Putting something personal on the Internet is like, to quote Neil Gaiman here, running down the street naked. The more people see you, the more difficult it is for you to bear it. Putting this game on here means that I've exposed a part of myself, and it's just hard. I'd rather people not understand than tell me I'm doing it wrong, because like, I'm trying to tell you a genuine story about something in my life or something that happened in my brain, why are you even telling me I'm doing it wrong? That would make no sense, but I know the Internet most likely won't get it.

Again, there are certainly merits to what you said. And that's my general philosophy when I make my games too. Oversight just wasn't in the same vein as what I usually do.

Why not?

You just didn't get to see the first version of his awesome review man. Sure he was telling his opinion on "the game", but "the game" here is merely a vessel for the expression. Why even bother? It's not the point. So unless I just spell it out explicitly verbally, people won't see this as an expression? That's just sad.

The problem with the gridmaker plugin for Paint.NET is that all it does is just draw a grid on the current layer of the piece with 1px-thick lines, which may get a little confusing at first when you have to be careful about the pixel precise positions of things within the grid. Besides, since all that plugin does is draw on the piece, you still can't snap your cursor to the blocks to make positioning things easier.

If you got butthurt at the fact that I refuse to explain about this game and this is how you retaliate then I have to say you are a fucking asshole sir.

I didn't expect anybody to get so mad at my refusal to explain they'd go all passive aggressive and give this even a review. Why you would review something that is barely qualified as a game is beyond me.

But well since you're so desperate about it I'll tell you a few things: I refuse to tell you about Oversight because life refused to tell me about it. And it took me a very long time and a very unusual change in perspective to realize that, which is the reason why this is called Oversight. The entire point of this is THAT particular realization. Telling anybody about it would defeat the entire emotional impact of it.

From your review I know for sure you haven't played it for over 3 minutes, because something's supposed to happen after 3 minutes. You happy yet asshole?
