ZDS'S PROFILE

I fear, I truly fear, that it has become much harder for the type of games we make to have any sort of similar success to the stuff we released even a couple years ago.

To me, that's okay.

With Cope Island, I released a game that I knew I'm happy with. So if it picks up in popularity in 2 weeks, it'd be awesome. Or if it picks up in 3 months, it'd be awesome. All I know is, no matter how much time passes, I am still happy with Cope Island.

I like to believe that being the same for your games you released. If Yuusha is quiet now, who knows, maybe in a few months (years even) it will pick up. Yuusha is at a place where it is GOOD and you made the game you want. That means you can sit easy and do whatever you want to do next.

Who knows, Crescent Prism may be popular and actually give Yuusha the boost it needs.

For devs like us, making a game we are happy with is more important. Our games are rather niche and I think the only way for us to succeed is for people to clearly see that we give a shit.

Profit would be very nice, but we have integrity enough to not spam short games with tons of achievements and big anime boobs on the cover. We're trying to make profit off something that's honest to ourselves and I hope that's something that will work eventually.

Commercial or non commercial, to get people to play our games is actually one of the biggest challenges. I think marketing forces one to be relentless and a bit shameless at that. Which for me personally, it's haaaaaard haha. After some time has passed, I'm going to write a detailed article about marketing and what I did wrong, what I did right, and what I will do next time.

Either way, I look forward to Crescent Prism. I believe you do deserve cash for the effort, but I get the reluctance to do commercial. It almost feels like much more likely to succeed at the free thing, as weird as that sounds. I wish you luck with everything, good sir. Slowly may we improve rpg maker's reputation. *thumbs up emote*

My client (esby) is suing you for slandering him and forging evidence.

"Mary Sue" originally referred solely to a particular type of character in fanfiction, and was never meant to be applied to regular fiction. People are just dumb and want to legitimize their antipathy most of the time.

Write whatever the fuck you want.

Mic drop'd this whole status.

Thanks! Hope you all enjoy!

In other news, DEMO is now out as well for those on the fence. o:

I know exactly what he means. It would be a very bad idea hahaha. It would cause so much drama. It'd encourage way more politics than we need.

Pretty much, what two means is. 5 star review gives you x points, 4 start gives you y, etc.
