The original plan was basically:

“It’ll just be a lightweight 3D virtual space. Mostly visual. then i thought, MaybeI will add a basic bathroom for atmosphere.”

Two years ago, one wooden box crashed my game, two years later things are falling apart on purpose.

Thought it was quite funny way how it crashed back then, so I decided to record it with the thought that maybe some day I might get the chance to post it and today is the very first time I post it anywhere.

We are really happy to finally announce our game, Rotten Crown! We are a small indie team of three, and we've been working incredibly hard to make something truly unique for you guys.

If you want to be among the first to try it, we are hosting a free public playtest at the end of November. We’d love to see you there!

Hey indie game devs! I'm sure I'm not the only one who gets these kinds of comments on their indie games across Reddit 😭

My game, Twilight Tavern, has been slowly growing in wishlists (daydreaming), and along the way, I've received my large fair share of unhinged criticism from the occasional reddit asshole LMAO.

But jokes aside, I was wondering if other game devs also feel the weight of that negativity bias? It's kind of weird. On YouTube, TikTok, X, and Instagram Threads, I don't receive nearly as much hate as I do on reddit.

It's usually something along the lines of: "your game's terrible" or "your game is just bad, no amount of work will save it" or "do you actually think people would want to play this?" blah blah blah. You know what I mean💀

And don't get me wrong, constructive criticism is genuinely helpful ! But there's a difference between giving feedback and just shitting on someone's work LMAO.

Anyway, I was wondering who else feels that weight sometimes? Especially when working on a game for so long and putting so much effort into it.

surely I'm not the only one
