Quoting TrapI'm sorry that you are so full of envy of our skills, Mixer. I would much rather have seen a creative response than just trolling, but I guess you cannot do it - even though you are not a child, but (supposedly?) a grown-up. I feel sorry for you that you have nothing to give but hatred.
Yeah, do tell me you are making fun .. but no, it's not funny and everybody knows that your comments are just an outlet of bitterness that you cannot find anywhere to place except than to put down other people on the internet.
I truly feel sorry for you. Such a little man.
but hey! ... I might be wrong, but then you need to do some work on your written communication skills :)
wow Trap, your super negative and ad hominem attacks here make me think *you* need to do some work on your written communication skills :) |

You are right. I was out of Line. I am sorry and a bit embarrased about this.
Somehow it just really got to me.
Sorry about this, guys. I wasnt myself.
I will crawl back to my hole now. |

Ozi: reading up on the crash bug you’ve been seeing, I didn’t realise quite how complex your game was actually... neat stuff! Of course, the ghostbyte changes are the big factor here as you need to update those every line - easy to forget these things when just loosely looking at these releases. |

Also, Mixer, Oswald, apologies if things got a little heated yesterday. I get defensive of these things because I know how much some of us put into this hobby - and it can really hurt when people put that down. |

Quote: There is a lot of dishonesty around nowadays, and people get upset about all critique. Not just you Raistlin and Trap. Some 2000's thing? Assume the worst always? Why do you whine when people critique your stuff?
I have received whining in private messages if I did not praise some 1000 times done thing to heavens. I've seen logo and scroller before. I've heard musicians write the same tune all over again. Good job well done. Not winner.
My opinions about the oldschool sprite demo are honest. It does not push the scene forward in any other way than someone did it, it will win because it is a nostalgy trip.
There were technically better entries in my opinion, however popular vote wins, so the crowdpleaser wins. It's been always like this.
It has nothing to do with envy, just honesty of personal opinion, and take all this critique with love, not hate. You guys can do much better and much more original stuff.
So, not envious, but just disappointed little man.
That’s all cool. What I don’t get is the urge to put things down, just because you do not agree with them. A competition like this is really a popularity contest, hopefully in the context of the overall experience, rather than about a specific detail in the demos or who made them. I liked a lot of the demos for the entirety of what they constitute. If I were to judge them on the basis of a predisposition, say whether the music is based on a pentatonic approach or what ever, I would find myself not to be open to surprises or emotional movement, but rather focusing on a nonsensical detail. Voting on the basis of what YOU like is really highly personal, and telling others they are wrong if they like something else, is not really doing anything good, I think. Nor is telling people here that what they are creating is trivial. I think such statements as harmful to peoples choices to express themselves in a scene that I think should embrace creativity on any level. I’m saying this to you respectfully - I realize we all have different ways of expressing what we like and expect from the scene as well as different expectations as to what the scene SHOULD be - and I do agree with some of the things you are saying too. And I also think some of the responses to your original post were pretty unnecessary. :) ... and now I’m considering whether to even post this, because I’m too old and tired to start a long discussion and being told I’m stupid. Well, fuck it. :D |
