ZDS'S PROFILE

I don't know, I think the first one looks nicer and has a better contrast.

Libs said everything I wanted to say. I truly believe in the art of criticizing to improve, not to punish.

I also believe if you go for a 4.5 or above there should be a wall of text telling you why.(unless the game is super short) And there should always be a section of criticism. It only makes the praise matter more. Reviews are to help the dev grow and help them go on the right direction.

I respect your opinions and understand that you did not enjoy this little story of mine. Thank you for taking the time to play and write a review for this!

However, I do not appreciate you accusing any of this of "acting like the height of art" and how I need to get over myself with this. There is criticizing one's work in hopes they improve and whatnot, but then there is just flat out attacking someone. The game is bleak, yes. The ending is also bleak. Bleak does not mean I think this is some masterful art piece.

I am also annoyed by the heteronormative romance and gender roles. There is no reason the creatures couldn’t have been hermaphroditic.

This is also extraordinarily ridiculous thing to say. There's about a million reasons why the creatures did not have to be hermaphroditic. Genders exist, especially in bugs. This game was in no way shape or form a statement that one style of romance matters. The genders of all the Mownt were mostly vague besides the main character and his possible mate. The most powerful creatures in the game were female, because in the bug life that's how it is often.

I added some humanity to the Mownt because it's easier to relate that way rather than making it some mindless insect. Which it's not something I didn't consider.

The story is actually pretty linear; it’s clear you’re expected to do the endings in a specific order, and the game doesn’t even try to hide this fact.

This is also very untrue. There are two ending possibilities unlocked by a certain event, but that does not mean you have to do it in order or that it is better in any certain order. The game's ending meant ALL the endings mattered and happen. Disagree with the quality of story telling or not, I more than meant for the endings to happen in random orders. In the room where you can view the endings you got, I listed them more or less in the order I made them. That does not mean it's a correct order you must play it in.

Those opinions katt posted were so royally wrong that it almost inspired me to download this game and give it a try because his opinions were so wrong about everything else that this game must be great.
