Release something! Crap not included

[m0ds]

LOL Mills. Well you of all people know legendary games can be formed out of crap. :p You're lucky though. You have the patience, or open mindedness to sift through the poop. I can't handle it quite so well!

Erenan - not a slump as such just a spur of posting lots of bizzare games! Perhaps things that should be left on HD's, but if people really want the enjoyment of their first works to be enjoyed then fair enough. I guess there's different entry levels for everyone and not everyone will hold out until they've made something that would appeal to a "lorra lorra" people. Or maybe it already does and we just don't know about it. The most of us have probably posted things we've made very early on and joke stuff too - me included - so maybe it is a good thing. But, lately, there have still definitely been games on these boards which really didn't warrant an online presence. At least I don't think so. Maybe that's being brutal but it's generally better and games are generally more fun when people really understand their player market (which around here is mostly us) and on these boards its better to see works of material people really are proud of. And can be certain others will be proud to play to. Were you proud to play a niggas revenge? It's almost like, yes, well done - you can make something on AGS, great. Future titles; The Dialog Box, also; A Message Box Containing Hello World II. It's just HD material, not internet material. But I strongly agree that there are still lots and lots of highly superb titles being produced too. People just feel they can slip their tests in there too. Completed Games Board isnt an extension to the Critics Lounge.

I generally enjoy checking out new material from new people on the boards. It's good to see what kind of talent really lies behind them. It's not to say some aren't untalented, anyone giving this kind of thing ago has some guts & a definite interest. But when you play things that just make little to no sense, or just aren't thought out - just tests for example - it's a shame. Maybe I'm wrong and I don't have the same background some developers do where these kind of in-game events are spectacular occasions. Who knows. Still, I'm sure it will continue - and I'm not that bothered. Just don't blame me if I don't enjoy it & find it "crap". By putting it online you've asked for an opinion and that could be the one you hear.

Yes, I agree. People seem to think that anything they've created is appropriate for the Completed Games forum, and this simply isn't so. Of course, what I was actually thinking about when I posted was about whether this slew of poop is a new thing. I haven't been around here all that long, so it's difficult for me to tell if this is a normal thing or not. Is what's happening here actually outside of the norm? Maybe that doesn't even matter, as it's probably not a desirable thing in any case.

Considering the first game ever released was Lassi's quest, I think we can all be certain that we've have a slew of "crap" games since the beginning.
