My Apologies (self.NoMansSkyTheGame)

sheenrox82 が 投稿

Hey /r/NoMansSkyTheGame,

As some/most/none of you may know, I'm working on a NMS-inspired game. I started making this game to make myself happier, as lately life has been, "eh". Anyway, I as a person, like to share my creations. Whether it be a LEGO diorama when I was 10, a program in AP Computer Science, or.. this game. I do it because my Dad has always told me, "give what you make to the world"... or something like that.

I was like 12 when he said that.

Anyway, I posted a gfy/gif to the subreddit today. After receiving a huge backlash for "advertising" my game, which isn't and won't be available for several months, maybe a year, I took the post down.

I apologize for sharing my creations, and making the subreddit awful. What I'm trying to say is, I won't be posting here from now on.

Thank you,

Mark

I saw your post and thought "Damn, that looks good!" Then I went to the comments and couldn't believe the negativity. I was going to post there to tell you to ignore those people, but got distracted. Please keep working on it. I would think that you should be able to keep posting here, but judging by how people are responding I would advice against it just for your sake. And in particular, ignore the criticisms to the content, many people who have never done it are not aware of the work involved in making a game or how a game normally looks during early development. Keep at it!

Don't take at heart the bad things said to you on the Internet. Your posts were still better than the usual "Where is my Release Date ? HG, you scum, how dare you make me wait ?!? I'm a queen !!"-ish posts.

Not taking it to heart, I suppose. I'm just not wanted here anymore so I'm going to hang out in my own subreddit.

Sheesh, so dramatic...

Ok how about this: Just because some uptight self-entitled spoiled circlejerk bandwagon naysayers can't stand someone elses creativity and start complaining and downvoting it, doesn't mean you should quit posting your stuff. Your posts of your creations are currently high quality posts in my book.

HG inspired you to try some cool stuff, that shouldn't be considered a crime on this subreddit.

Keep your head up!

    Fuck them. I like seeing updates on the game and it's looking great. I think there was like a week you overdid it but then you made a subreddit and since then I think you haven't been overdoing it. Maybe instead of gifs within a short time span post an update thread when you hit milestones with info and media.

    [–]ProceduralGoat 5ポイント6ポイント  (1子コメント)

    Guys who down vote and hate like that are usually stuck on their own insecurities. The best way they know to deal with someone else doing something creative and productive is to criticize and hate.

    The biggest difference between successful people and unsuccessful is they keep going despite all that noise. Phil Fish is a great example of this, he got caught in the feedback loop with losers who have nothing better to do than shit on other people. Instead of making another great game he got sucked into a flame war and gave up.

    If you think Sean Murray hasn't heard his share of insults or lame reasons to give up, I'm sure you're wrong. The best thing you can do is ignore the losers, focus on the positives, and don't give up. Unless the mods say it's against the rules, you should enjoy free speech to it's fullest extent, and don't worry about a down voted post. We all get them.

    [–]eadem_mutata_resurgo [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

    Isn't that the truth. Phil Fish created one of the most incredible games I've played in decades. Fez was truly inspired.

    Mark, don't take it like that. You're at least an inspiration to some of us. I wish I had the same focus and inspiration that you do back in your age. I did dwell with 3d graphics and did some stuff but what you are doing is very cool and show how you have some vision and how its teaching you a lot.

    Don't let these people discourage you. There'll always be naysayers, but I wont be one for now. I say, keep posting, it's up for the mods to say what they think. Don't let a few people out of 27,000 discourage you!

    Also, your gif was really cool. You can definitely work on some more cool stuff (such, as using noise not to make all those trees so parallel, etc) but you're going a long way to achieving your goal.

    Keep it up!

    PS: Also, I'm tweeting about your subreddit, hope you don't mind.

    [–]SubitusNex 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

    @SubitusNex

    I Just twitted a shoutout of your reddit to Scott Manley, since he reviews a lot of games, and a lot of people follow him, perhaps you'll get some more interesting feedback. He also likes when young people like you get involved in cool projects where they learn a lot, so think it could be fun. I might tweet a bit more about it as you come up with cool stuff.

    [–]SubitusNex 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

    Well, at least keep working on your art (yeah, I'll call it art) and I'm sure you can do great stuff. I'll be here to follow your progress :)

    [–]wickersty 21ポイント22ポイント  (23子コメント)

    Here's the thing man, what you've worked on is impressive. And even more so given your age and game-developing experience. But it just does not belong in this sub, at the frequency that you're posting.

    You should share what you make with the world... in appropriate places/communities etc. A sub for an already in-development game, with a passionate and increasingly irritated fan base, is not that place.

    I do truly wish you the best of luck with your project. I only wished that you'd stop barraging the nms sub with it.

    [–]sheenrox82[S] 1ポイント2ポイント  (22子コメント)

    I can see where you're coming from. However I wouldn't consider it "spam". The game was inspired by No Man's Sky, so I figured it could be posted here until it reached a certain point that I felt it was far enough from No Man's Sky. I felt I didn't reach that point yet, however this community though otherwise.

    We cool?

    [–]YetInsufficientData 0ポイント1ポイント  (18子コメント)

    /u/wickersty i agree and i wouldn't give up your point so easily. Sheenrox, the whole vibe you give off is that you're some kind of kid who's intelligent for his age, and doesn't know when to stop talking. It would have been one thing if you made one thread about your game, but instead you were constantly posting threads. Being inspired by something and being actually related to it are different things. I'm sure there are others just like me who echo the sentiment that we don't come here to see posts about your game. We don't come here for updates about your game. The only thing worse than spamming those posts, is THIS one where you're pretty much whining and pandering for sympathy...

    Don't decide for me what I come to this sub for, dude. I liked seeing his posts and updates. While some agree with you, others agree with me. Don't nominate yourself as my spokesman.

    I didn't know that simplifying my comments so that idiots could read them was a requirement. There's no error in my comment, so it's your fault for not reading more carefully.

    [–]YetInsufficientData -5ポイント-4ポイント  (2子コメント)

    I think you'd be disappointed to find out that the answer to all of the above is pretty much yes. Seems a little bit pointless to make sweeping assumptions about the life of someone you have no info on, though. :/

    [–]tenebris_spiritus 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

    Your comments say loud and clear that you are a bully and a narcissist. You're petty and cruel. You're self-congratulatory and condescending. You admit no faults and give no compassion. You are, in short, a troll. There is probably no cure for you, but I sometimes respond to trolls so that other people can see that a troll can be stood up to. Your hurtful comments make people feel bad (except for you feeling good about being superior) and they are in no way helpful or constructive. Attacking other people's self-esteem to make yourself feel better is not ok, and you should stop.

    [–]sheenrox82[S] -1ポイント0ポイント  (9子コメント)

    I'm not whining or pandering for sympathy. I was apologizing for my actions earlier.

    Except, it's not. Did you not see how I made up to wickersty? We're cool now, and he's posting in my subreddit. If you perceived it as me trying to get sympathy that's your own problem. I'm sorry because I actually realized I shared too much too fast. But nah, I was trying to get sympathy and make people feel bad, it's always that outcome, hm?

    Reddit is populated by complete cunts. Come here for information, sure, but I'd advise people, especially the young or vulnerable, to not interact with its twat face members.

    Start social media groups and advertise your game where it's appreciated.

    I happened to miss your GIF which I consider to be unfortunate. I'd like to see it if you still care to share.

    You, your game and your post were all fine. The poor twits who were giving you a bunch of shit lack empathy and such a lack is crippling. True, you have had to put up with them for a few days, but you have the last laugh, they are stuck with themselves for life.

    Keep posting man. The game looks great! Better than the posts with zero substance we see everyday repeated. "Do I need psn?, how will you play?, where's everyone from?, pc or ps4?"

    If they wanna really wanna keep reading that same crap day after day let'em. Things were a lot different here a year and a half ago.

    Thanks, sorry to hit you so hard, but if everyone was posting stuff like that this sub would be a bit diluted from no man's sky content. Don't take it personally, I love to try and encourage anyone to start making their own games as I feel like it is a fantastic way to get interested in Computer Science and further increase cs education.

    Anyway sorry that you had to learn in not such a pleasant way, but it needed to be said. Best of luck with your game.

    Edit: For posting things about your game I can make a few subreddit recomendations:

    [–]sheenrox82[S] 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Thank you, I'm well aware of those subreddits though. I figured I could post here since it was still somewhat related to No Man's Sky.

    I guess, however, after 2 months of development, a fine separation appears.

    [–]gamepro235 3ポイント4ポイント  (1子コメント)

    Most of the people are on edge due to the upcoming events and are completely focused on the game so if someone starts talking about there own game there making. people won't be happy and will start hating but personally i found it wrong. and i think you shouldn't have been criticized.

    To each their own. I'm excited for Oct. 27th, even if nothing comes of it. Mainly because Halo 5 is released that date so we're all going to my friends house to play it.

    However with the NMS New York article saying it will be "released later this year" I have hopes for December.

    When you post stuff like this, it keeps the vibe going, you are the golden goose shitting the coal that keeps the hype train going.

    I'm actually pissed off that you removed that video, it's like when North Korea tried to make sony not release "The Interview"...ahh I see what you did there, reverse-psychology to get attention eh?

    What, the point that you're "extremely hated" because you posted about the game you're making? You're not that important, idiot. People are responding negatively because you're playing victim so hard.

    I... I don't think you understand the situation.. like, at all... I never once, ever, implied nor directly stated I was "important". I however, posted several photos of my game here, sometimes within short time intervals, and people did not like that, began mass downvoting my profile, leaving comments such as yours above, and so on. I simply stated, that my game and I are not welcome here anymore, as after two months of development, the tie between Lost World and No Man's Sky is gone. They are not responding negatively because I "played victim". They are responding negatively because I "spammed" the subreddit.

    Please do some research next time before making false assumptions. Thank you, and have a nice day.
