Hello neighbor rant

[Gliitch]

This is just a rant, but please hear me out. I’m frustrated with how many people don’t like hello neighbor. I got the full game on humble bundle (so that’s why it says I don’t have it) and I really like it (I also havent redeemed the steam key yet). You guys don’t know what has to go into making a game. As a game developer myself, I can say hello neighbor is a very very impressive game. The things to consider when making a game are as follows:
Budget
Time
Fan base
Story (which, BTW, be one of the hardest parts to come up with)
Making objects
Making animations
Controls, functions, etc.
AI (especially in this scenario)
Making textures
And those things.
I’m pretty sure that most of you guys got mad because the game wasn’t as big as you thought it would be and you guys who are complaining about the length of the game the reason why it is too short is because you look up guides on how to beat it instead of doing actual work and figuring it out yourself. And if you were thinking the game would be huge like mass effect or something, I wouldn’t be surprised. 3 acts is plenty considering the fact it was made by a smaller company. This isn’t Bethesda, people. And people complaining about that we never found out what was in the basement, the whole thing is that WE. US. The players are supposed to figure that out. The present us with things that we could make theories out of. Or the shadow thing is in the basement, either one, idk. Everyone worked hard on this game dammit. They delayed the game 3 months so they could add extra content in. This game isn’t perfect, and for another chunk of people complaining about the AI, the whole point of the smart AI is to outsmart it to get what you need. The game is being patched as we speak, so it won’t be very broken for long. I do think 30 bucks is overpriced, I agree with that. I didnt want to sou;d like that meme kid who screamed you frickin fricks, so I used actual reason. Before you hate the game, or any other game, just think about the list I put in earlier.

EDIT: the gameplay is buggy and can get annoying but if you find ways to cheat the system you can have fun with the game.

People overhyped it, thats why so many dont like it.. tbh i do really love this game for what it is

[Gliitch]

I feel like the overhype was real, but there was a lot of unexpected things in it so that made up for the overhype (in my opinion)

[Smurky Turkey]

While I agree somewhat, you have to take in account that it is an overpriced game with some fairly serious bugs in a year where there are tons upon tons of great games. I have played a bit of it and I would not consider it bad, there are just too many other games to play that are better and work better upon launch (while also being cheaper).

Yeah the game is overpriced and it is buggy, but they are trying to fix as many bugs as they can. They recently fixed physics bugs. The main point I was trying to make was that there are things some people don’t take into account when hating the game or any game

[RedundantDNA]

I'd like to point out that even though they are fixing the game it's still buggy garbage and should not have been released at it's current state. The reason they delayed it is due to bugs, but they are still there. WHY RELEASE A GAME WITH THIS MANY BUGS! I don't care if they're fixing it because you DON'T release a game with this many bugs.

[Captain Craisin]

You know, I agree with you entirely! Figuring it out on my own, the whole experience took about 8 hours to complete, and I HARDLY encountered any "game breaking bugs." The whole complaining thing is becoming a bandwagon at this point. This is a great game that I would hate to be forgotten in history as garbage.

[RedundantDNA]

Just want to say this i could forgive the bugs if the AI wasn't so thick

watch jacksepticeye hello neighbor part 3. He rage quits due to a bug

The reason why they couldn’t delay the game again to fix more bugs is because the fan base would get very angry and they didn’t want that.

Yeah. I love this game and it’s one of my favorites. It didn’t fully live up to the hype, but it is still a great game. I hope this will go down with at least mostly positive reviews.

The final release is more broken than some alphas/betas it deserves its hate.

[Monkee]

I keep reading the game's selling point: an AI that adapts to your input. Then I read the reviews for this game: it's buggy as hell. These 2 do not coincide. Thus, the bad reviews.

You wanna know why people hate this game, and why this will be forgotten in time? Well, here is your reason.

When you´re a bad developer looking for quick bucks just based in some overhyped youtubers whose audiences are basically whimsical kids (when there are much more complex and less bugged games for half the price, that also don´t pretend to be videogames gurus with "an AI that can learn from you" that now we know is just a bad programmed joke) your destiny is to be forgotten.

Awwwwh, when you said "they´re not Bethesda" you noticed that, I don´t know, Stardew Valley was created for JUST ONE PERSON?

*sigh* did you even read this or just see the word Bethesda in there? tinybuild has made great games, and people are just mad that they didnt turn out exactly how they wanted. and you clearly know nothing about game design so why dont you just get a job as a comedian because this comment made me laugh

You might wanna learn a thing about game design as well like the difference between a developer and a publisher. tinyBUILD is a publisher they basically funded the game and left the dev alone while also marketing it with things such as funko pops and other such things sold at Hot Topic. As someone who bought this through the devs website in May of this year in order to fund a new indie dev I was not disappointed because it "didn't turn out exact how I wanted" I was disappointed because its a broken mess that ran better in beta and alpha that basically amounts to just smashing all the betas and alphas together in order to create a "finished" product while somehow being more broken than they were.
Also to break down a few more of your misconceptions.

Budget: They were giving a lot of time but tinyBUILD and funding to back it as well even allowing for delays to the original launch.

Time: See above comment

Fan base: Who cares the only people that give a damn about a fan base and use it as an excuse fail to understand the medium of gaming as a whole

Story: Before you start working on a game you should already have your story in mind so if this was reason for delays and the quality being low then they had no idea what they were doing in the first place.

Making objects: There are tons of physics based puzzle games that do this infinitely better and it doesn't take much.

Making animations: Have you seen this game.. I'd hardly use this as a point especially since many were dumbed down over the course of development.

Controls, functions, etc.: The options as well as controls are the most basic

AI: The AI was better in past unfinished builds.

Its at this point that I don't believe you actually know anything about game development

i hardly know anything about game development. the most advanced thing i know is how to make an object move to a specific location. you have your opinion, i have mine. i can agree with some stuff, but lets agree to disagree.
