I thought i would share some of the messages i’ve got during my years of developing my game, and if you have any, share them with us too
All of these were asked directly to me, through Facebook, Youtube and E-mail.
NOTE: None of the following were edited:
Even though i’ve been developing my game for 3 years, during my free time, from the ground up, some people seem to think that i would just throw everything out the window and join other teams with no experience and no work done… ( I get maybe 2-5 messages per month asking me to join a team )
I would go on and on with many more of these messages, but i don’t think it would ever end.
I know i shouldn’t bash anyone for not knowing how to do something game development related, but some of these messages… seriously…
Have you ever gotten any of these types of messages? If so, share them with us.
PS: If you want to see more, just tell me and i’ll search the e-mail vault a little more
The worst are the people that want to create a massive game ‘like battlefield 3 or 4’ (I mean what were Dice thinking, you dont need a team of 500 professionals, just one 14 year old with unity), but then expect someone else to do all the hard work on it, especially when they say they’re the ideas guy. I was a little like that way back when, although I like to think I was a bit more reasonable
Some of these are quite reasonable to a certain extent, like that last one, apart from the reload animation asking how to make bullet spread, while a little annoying because he could just google it, its not that bad
Hahaha, I confess I was like that at first. I couldn’t bear making a game that wasn’t functional to a molecular level. Thing is you dont really associate project size with work hours, it’s harder to measure than it seems… one can inadvertently start a project that requires 15 years to finish, not realizing gamers like gta5, skyrim, assassins creed, takes 2 or 3 years by professional teams of 100s of people.
One of the dumbest things I’ve seen was on Steam Greenlight, someone commented and said they voted my game down because I had a ‘Facebook’ icon on my game’s main menu.
Well there you go @eskovas just put a link to FPS Creator on your facebook page. Maybe you can even earn a bit of money through referrals or ads.
Haha just had a look at the video for FPS Creator. Seriously? I think there’s still a gap in the market for something better. IDK, maybe the people on his Facebook page would like it though.
