in collecting attention

Posted by Taizen Chisou on Nov. 14, 2011, 12:22 a.m.

I'm not sure what the deal is, but I can't get anybody onto anything I make.

Like ever.

I have three ongoing projects.

One is an STG. Probably about six different people have given comment after playing the 0.5 demo, out of a recorded 60 downloads.

Another is a Metroidvania. Three comments.

Another is a turn-based JRPG. Less than twenty.

Is it because I'm lacking in graphics or something? I don't understand it.

I've seen a lot of projects garner lots of praise, even if they're functionally worse than what I put out. The commonality between all of them is that they've had a heck of a time put into the looks department.

It's really disheartening. I'd rather have negative feedback than no feedback.

There's no 'hype train' going on or 'when are you going to finish it' business anywhere I post anything I do.

A lot of the responses I've been getting have been pretty "eh, yeah, okay, whatever."

Which begs the question, "if a total of three people are interested, why go to the bloody effort to do anything at all?"

I don't know anymore.

Toast:

I'll admit I have a bad rep on two of the places, but another was here, and three more were entirely neutral.

The GMC yielded no responses whatsoever. I hardly go there.

Six postings, averaging 12 downloads per page.

A majority of my responses came from the GMG.

I racked up 2000 spam posts there in about four months.

So you know, I don't know.
