I still haven't started Celeste or Octopath Traveler! I might start the latter, if it's made by that team... and if it's on the Switch, which it probably is. When I've got the time!
I really wish I could convince people to understand... but I don't know why really, and the way I try to go about it isn't a good way, obviously. It's been a while though since I've had to deal with criticism, so I suppose getting some now when things are still quite small (assuming I'll ever gain anything like a fanbase again) is probably a good time to practice; I definitely don't want a repeat of Fig Hunter!
I want to read those blog posts of yours when I'm in a better state of mind (I've replied to some comments in reverse order and I can feel some of the stress returning), especially since I see you talk about Telepath Tactics, which I'm curious to learn more about! I still haven't contacted that guy, and I'm still not sure whether it's even worth going down the Kickstarter route for me personally... I suppose I've been too focused on all the story planning stuff to worry about that recently.
Wow, those videos do not have a lot of views! (I say, as someone who totally gets millions on what I post.) When they were contacting me, they kept pestering me if I took a while to reply, and their language usage was really unprofessional, so I was dragging out the conversation since I didn't trust them at all. When they mentioned big numbers at me, though, I had a moment of excitement about the thought of earning money like that myself. Too good to be true indeed...
The impression I get is that they've genuinely made this thing, but they're struggling to get people to give them all their raw code because that's such a ridiculous thing to ask. The whole thing seems naive rather than malicious, and it's a shame, since something like that potentially could be really beneficial for both the developers (who might have a bunch of forgotten games they'd otherwise never do anything with) and for them, if it were handled better.
Oh well. A shame. I definitely won't be giving them anything though!
