Are creators proud of their game?

[I Like Watermelons]

I understand that this game was made by three people. Thats cute and even impressive, but its pretty much game jam project to learn things BEFORE you actually make a proper game. Or if you want to release it as full product into market, you should consider hiring some competent people to support your vision.
Obviously they spend some time to make this happen, but was it worth it? As a portfolio to get to proper studio development - I think yes.
But showing it on the market as a finished product - thats a freaking baffling idea.

What portfolio? That they know how to extract assets form other games and reuse them for themselves?

Have you guys actually played the game? It's fun. A lot more fun than most AAA I've played lately. Every game isn't for everybody and this just might not be for you but lots of people are enjoying it.

If you ever wonder to yourself why we don't have any unique, fun games anymore, read your post. If you ever wonder to yourself why every game is basically copy pasted from the same game last year except with more micro transactions, read your post. If you ever wonder to yourself why gaming in general has become complete and utter ♥♥♥♥ in comparison to where it was ten years ago, read your post.

You have bad taste/are very unlucky with the AAA you played lately then

finsiehd the game last night, had a great time playing it, sure some of my items randomly dissapeared from my inventory, and it did crash after the ending, but apart from that, i had little to no issues with the game, world design was awesome, combat was great loot was great, i have no issues with them reusing assets from otehr games, not sure why anyone really cares unless your the owner of said assets.

OK... and this coming from a guy who has over 500 hours in New World. Like I said, every game isn't for everyone.

Everyone has a different idea of what they want when they buy a game - its obvious people like you bought this thinking it was going to be a dark souls clone and now that you didn't get what you want, you try and trash talk the devs. Sorry to break it to you, but this game has more effort and actual care put into it than NUMEROUS triple A titles.

Halo Infinite, Diablo Immortal, Fallout 76, Cyberpunk 2077, Mass effect Andromeda, Anthem, the newer call of duty games are awful, the newer battlefield games are awful, if I sat here for an hour I could probably give you pages of AAA games that are ♥♥♥♥ in comparison. Those games budget was probably literally 1 million times more than what these 3 devs had, WHILE having access to hundreds and hundreds of employees with top of the line technology.

Youre trying to make it sound like devs made something unique and original. It isnt either of this things. Its just alpha project made by three ambicious people, without experience and budget.

Play the game before making dumb assessments like this.

The world they created is freakin mental. The aspect of exploration so far is enough to keep me hooked. I keep ending up in utterly strange places...
(A lot of other aspects like combat are only half as bad as some ppl claim. I do have fun smashing stuff with a weird giant hammer-thingy... )

Just accept that you have insecurities about your own taste. Why else judge other people tastes?

[peep]

It's just 3 devs with a dream, stop harassing them. Take this energy and put it towards Blizzard, EA or Ubisoft.

[srfrogg23]

I'm sure they're proud of it. It's fun. I'm sure they're also developing a solid resentment towards gamers, at least if they're reading these forums. I know I would. Hell, the constant pseudo-moralistic grandstanding while ignoring their statements is driving me nuts, and I didn't even put the game together.

Grab your torches and pitchforks, we're chasing the devs to the old windmill! *rabble rabble rabble*

seriously, it's a wonder anyone makes indie games anymore. pretty soon every game is going to be the same Ubisoft/Activions BS

True, anytime a small devs makes the slightest mistake they are bombarded and trolled into obscurity now a days. Are there some devs out there who are truly "scummy" and just want peoples money with half finished products? Yes of course but if people actually played this game they would know that is not the case here.

I personally blame "influences" like Asmon, who make videos hyping up people to expect a AAA product and then when its not to his standards he trashes on it along with all of his "brainlets" who follow him in everything. Its interesting when these "influences" try to create drama on a game/product when if you look at their personal lives (and career) THAT is their content DRAMA baiting.

Hypocrites all of them.
