QZPRODUCTIONS'S PROFILE

What i hate about the RM horror games, is they all have the exact same chase scenes, always stuck in a stupid mansion. They never give u any weapons, the only way to survive is to out run your enemies. Come on be original, give us something to defend ourselves, use something different.

Hey now, in my game you're stuck in a high school ;DDDD And there's like one real chase scene that lasts like 3 seconds haha

I dunno about anyone else here, but if I release my game (it's never gonna happen, been working on it since 2001, but I can dream) and it turns out that the story is terrible or the gameplay has a fundamental flaw, you'd better believe I'll redesign it so it works.

One of the driving forces behind my decision to make Soma Spirits Rebalance was to address the major issues that people found with the game. Heck, the title is even called Rebalance; one of the largest parts of the undertaking.

Whenever you get a piece of constructive feedback, you're not necessarily obligated to agree with it. But I think it's important that developers at least listen to what people are saying, think about it critically, and determine whether or not the proposed change will be beneficial to you. I can see one person telling you something is off as little cause for alarm, but when 20+ people told me my game was a cakewalk, I took it to heart and wanted to make the game better.

I actually made a survey with Google Forms for Prom Dreams, and the most consistent feedback I got was that people really liked the stroy and characters but found the visuals lacking. Thanks to this survey I'm deciding to commission art from people much better than I am at arting (Prom Dreams' visuals were mostly generator parts and CC0 stock images cobbled together). I also took into account several problems I noticed LPers consistently get into or comment on (e.g. picking choices too quickly thanks to button mashing, maneuverability inside the school, etc.) and added them to updates.

I also got one person complaining about the villain not doing anything to fix what they did and that because of the demographic they were a part of deserved a redemption arc, or something like that. Which was... clearly missing the point that said villain made an irreparable mistake that they will never truly be absolved of, regardless of their sympathetic circumstances. That critique I ignored, because most everyone else seemed to get it :P

All this to say that you can use your judgment to pick and choose which critiques to act on, because you can't please everybody, that's for sure :P

Once I was playing this old arcade game called Poly... something. Polybouse? Polybuses? Something like that. It was this weird puzzle game thing, sort of like Tetris but not falling blocks, just that sort of pace.

So I was doing really well, level 8 on just one quarter, and there was this line of people behind me (it was a really popular game), but I was in the zone so I barely noticed them. Then like I beat 8 and there was some kind of flashy light thing. I thought it was a victory cutscene or something but then text stuff started showing up. It wasn't garbled like in the Pac-Man kill screen or anything, but it was just some random words that flashed really fast.

Weirdly, I guess everyone in line was epileptic or something, because next thing I knew, I was at the back of the line and they were all sprawled down on the floor. I think someone was carrying some red ink or something, because that stuff was EVERYWHERE. Like some even got on my hands somehow.

Anyway, that was a really unfortunate glitch because apparently after it caused a whole bunch of epileptic seizures, the arcade had to shut down for a while, which sucked because that game was freakin awesome. Man, I wish I could still play it! I was apparently really torn up about it when the arcade got rid of it, like tantrums and stuff. I don't remember, but Mom says I had to talk to a therapist about it for a while.

Now that I'm actually telling the story, I don't know why I went to the back of the line after that glitch. I guess I was going to go tell the staff about it? Only I probably wouldn't have wanted to leave my place. The players got really cutthroat about getting a turn sometimes. Like, DDR had nothing on it!

So that's my old puzzle game glitch story thank you for reading and God bless.

And then the entire bus clapped.

(Actual Real Story tho: I was playing The Suffering on the PS2 on third-person mode and the flamethrower got lodged in Torque's chest. It was pretty funny.)

See your first project as a learning exercise. It must be small so you can complete it. A one month duration is about the right size.

*Looks at Prom Dreams*

*Looks at its 16 month development time*

*Look into the camera like I'm on The Office*
