Re: Playshapes' Games
I'm confused, when I said counterpart, I meant still dealing with flash games. You just took the most extreme sides of the spectrum as if that makes sense in the decision. Obviously a game making company makes better games than a flash artist. Non-h games obviously run a large spectrum, but living with someone who animates and creates games both as a living and as a hobby, people usually take more time to make sure the game is better structured.Well, comes to mind that the non-porn counterpart is produced by a company that has several paid programmers working with the lastest hardware/software for several months (years in some cases). All this for the purpose of selling (hopefully) milions of copies around the world to make a considerable amount of money.
I've heard this reasoning, and although I have no problems with people who do that, that excuse is flawed. A) I'm not making complaints for nothing, I've made comparisons. These comparisons are aimed between this maker and other makers who do the exact same thing, so those criticisms are completely fair. And b) It's a hobby. People take time to do hobbies and don't expect getting paid for em. I've been teaching myself electric bass and guitar for a while, put time into learning songs, making videos and releasing them that obviously have no intent on making money, but it doesn't mean I don't learn the entire song or release something half-assed. Me and my friends started a skit group in its filming process that take a long time to set up, write, cast, light, and shoot, and I wouldn't want to release shitty mic'ed videos even though I won't make money off of it. A work of passion should be something you're passionate about, and if it's poorly put together, there seems to be passion missing.On the other hand we have a guy working with wathever he can get his hands on, during his free time, actually losing money on the bills, for no other gain than his personal satisfaction.
Personally i wouldn't bother downloading a rpgmaker for free if there wasn't a consistent chance i could get money out of it...
I don't want him to do anything, even the best games have criticisms and all I'm doing is noting them which, like you said, I have a right doing. Just because I don't finance the museum doesn't mean I can't talk about the works displayed in a public forum.In this kind of game you can find flaws, glitches or fetishes that don't belong to you, but you can't really complain. You are free to speak your opinion, but asking him to do more than he wants to do is not in your rights as he does not ask you to support him through money/effort.
