I like to start with: I'm not quitting I'm ranting.
But first the game I will make updates from now on like this:
There will be a update that will advance the plot followed by a update that ads content.
example: this update the plot was advanced until the end of domina fight, the next update will will only add to this content, more random encounters, eventual re-write, and finish promised content.
Now on with the rant
I want to be a producer, a video-game producer.
What does a producer does? It mainly keep the game down to release date, it red-lines features, even the coolest ones, in the name of the project.
It does other things but it's his job to ship the game in release date.
And there is a reason why a producer shouldn't develop the game, to red-line features that you design, code or wrote (in my case all 3) takes a toll in your self-esteem, it destroys the vision you fell in love with and when you do things for free love is all you got.
But I need to take a step back and put my mind in where I must draw the "love" from.
A developer takes love from a bug-free code or a well oiled engine.
A designer takes love from innovative features or well thought mechanics that delivers the experience.
A artist takes love from well written scenes and fleshed out characters.
A producer takes his love from seeing his game out there, the project done, the good and the bad reviews, because hate comes from everywhere else.
The developer will hate him for not have time for one more iteration,
The designer will hate him for red-lineing his features,
And the artists hates everybody because they are douches(:p).
I all 4 and 3 them hate me for the stuff I had to take out to get the game update "on time".
Really, I had made a "apology post" before the first comment came in such was the disappointment I had with the update, but you guys were nice and I felt the "likes."
So thank you.
See you next week with some game news.
To be honest, the other Fight Clubs continuations can't really compare. Numbers hasn't released anything yet, and same for the other. You're the only one who actually finished something and it's a complete fresh rewrite at that, and we can already see the changes in the first version.
ReplyDeleteWe got pretty much what we asked for. I think it's good that you picked up a text game as your project, since you don't have to worry about art or a complicated engine you can do everything yourself. Many people overestimate their skills and end up with either a bloated project or an unmotivated team (or both) and angry fans.
Im really looking forward your next updates, cheers.
" a complete fresh rewrite " you give me too much credit... but I'm in need of a compliment so I will take it.
DeleteI wonder what happened to the other versions, I know Numbers is in vacations and choose REAL life and REAL people over porn, the nerve of some people...
I did notice a few scenes added in one of them, but it sounds like one of them was waiting to see if he'd merge with the other, and the other was rewriting the code and became disheartened by all the 'I wish this game had x in it' and 'the problem with this game...' input.
ReplyDeleteIn this case re-vamping the underlying mechanics gives you an opportunity to create an 'in-the-spirit-of' kind of game, rather than just continuing the previous game. You can decide for yourself what scenes were good, and how to implement them and whether to write them in your own style or not. Personally I liked most scenes except the bondage club ones, and my favorite was the racing scene.
Will the already posted link take us to updates in the future? I'm wondering if I might click on it some day and find that it goes beyond the Domina fight even when progress hasn't yet been announced. Or heck, maybe I'll click it, get to a half-scene fight, then go through again and find that you've been writing as I've been playing and the half-done scene is suddenly three-quarters done. (Refresh refresh refresh to see word-by-word all the typos of the developer)
Sorry for the absence real life came in like a bitch and I had to work to make some extra cash, but i'm back now.
ReplyDeleteAs for you comment:
I will eventually post a permalink somewhere, some day, but not now the current link will not be updated.
And the updates will come once a month.
I liked the racing scene too one of my plans was to made a racing porn game instead of this one.
Good to hear. Looking forward to the possibility of more race content too.
