GRETGOR'S PROFILE

Getting worried that almost all of my characters are either comic one-liners or sulking overly emotional characters with that vague faux character depth aobut them. I need to step up my writing game and introduce other personality types into the mix.

I like Wolf RPG Editor, but its interface can be confusing to newcomers.

While we're on the subject of indie horror games, I was wondering if I should try out .flow. I heard it's basically Yume Nikki with the horror cranked up to eleven.

So, for those of you who played .flow: is it good? Also, is there a decent English translation?

Nah, most ideas do suck, even when people compliment them.

Just because your game sucks doesn't mean some people won't enjoy it though. I can't even count the number of AAA games I've played that absolutely sucked sweaty horse balls. Some of which I enjoyed anyway, despite the fact that they were objectively immensely flawed. I mean I would have enjoyed them more if they weren't immensely flawed, but there are probably only a few dozen games ever made that aren't immensely flawed.

Don't be paralyzed, just try to be better.

So you're of the school of thought that I should strive to make a good game, but still submit it even if it turns out to be not so good? I think I can do that! :D

I mean, unless I misunderstood you, in which case, I'm ashamed of myself.

Sometimes I think of the Dunning Kruger effect, and that paralyzes me to the point where I stop working on my game. Whenever I remember the Dunning Kruger effect is a thing, I start to question whether my game ideas and my design choices are actually good or if I only think they're good because I'm unable to tell they're bad, and that paralyzes me.

Sure, the possibility that my work is complete crap exists, and not only does it exist, it is very likely judging from the awfulness of the two games I have posted here, but still, one might say that it's better to output a terrible game than to output no game at all. Would you guys agree with this sentiment? Also, does any of you also fear that you're not as good as you think you are?

Sometimes I'm afraid people don't answer my requests for feedback because the stuff I make is so obviously bad to anyone that's not me that they simply feel it's not worthwhile to respond. But people, please, if that's the case, I'd like to actually be told so.
