No... codergames started the recession.

I just took a look at one of the reviews you got, and sure enough, the reviewer doesn't think it's perfect either:

It's not (usually) a fast-paced shooter though and some levels feel a little too sedate or perhaps even cerebral, which may put off thrill-seekers but make it ideal for those who feel shoot-'em-ups should be about more than simply mashing your fire button.

If you had listened to and accepted feedback, you could have solved this before releasing your game. Maybe you could have gotten an 8 or 9 out of 10 in that review instead of a 7, at least in the opinion of those looking for faster-paced action.
The fact that you did not get positive reception on your game here does not mean that we think nobody will like your game - it just means that everybody who bothered commenting believed the game could be improved.

If you still refuse to accept the fact that your game isn't perfect, and that we're only trying to help you make it better, then fine, you can remain that way, but don't get in the way of others trying to improve their games.

So you keep repeating same, you know what, over and over again ... why did I start this topic? To show all other developers that they should not ask for a feedback.

And yet, look at the other topics in this forum. They actually end up improving their games, because they're able to take criticism and use it to better the game. Nobody acts hostile towards them because they realize that they aren't perfect, and they don't snap at people for saying anything remotely negative about their game.

I'm sure that if you offer everyone an apology, nobody would hold grudges and you might be able to become a respected member of the community, but if you're not willing to change then you should just leave.

oh dude! I love Invader Attack! I can't believe you're the guy who made it, that's so awesome. What a great game, you did great making it and I'm so glad you made it. A++, would play again!

Now you're talkin  ... more more, please

I'm interested in some more feedback. Did you like my feedback? What would you rate it?

ps. I rate your game a 10/10 GOTY.

[BMcC]

I rate it 10 Game-of-the-Years out of 5 Game-of-the-Years! 100% better than perfect!

[Dragonmaw]

btw what's gamevortex? sounds like another random GAMING SITE that there are a million of nowaday

[iffi]

No need to antagonize him now...

[Nugsy]

GotY.

I'm sure that if you offer everyone an apology, nobody would hold grudges and you might be able to become a respected member of the community, but if you're not willing to change then you should just leave.

This feels a little harsh.  I'm not sure I feel comfortable with telling people to just leave the forum.  I mean, if you're not willing to change your input, then you're not likely to get a different output.  But that's no reason to tell people "change or gtfo".

I think the big takeaway is that you will get out of it what you put into it.

If you are looking at the forum as a place to come and collaborate with other developers, participate in conversations, comment on other peoples' games, and ask for feedback on your own, then you will likely get what people consider to be the most helpful feedback they can give you:  Honest opinions on what they think you could do to make the game even better.

If you view the forum as a place to drop by when you have a game that you have already decided is finished and doesn't need changing, and aren't bothering to return the favor of looking at other peoples' things, participating in discussions, or contribute to the community at all, and are just posting because you are looking for attention more than feedback, or are trying to use it as an oblique way to advertise, then people will generally pick up on this, and react unfavorably.

(I think this is part of the reason that people get so annoyed at folks who show up and post games/advertisements for games without even bothering to post in the "introductions" thread.  They see it as an indication that the person isn't interested in being part of the community; they just want the community to do nice things for them with no return.)

Anyway, this is getting long and rambly.  The tl;dr version is:

If you are not looking for constructive criticism, then the feedback forum is probably not the right place to look.  If you honestly think that your game is perfect as-is, then why are you asking for feedback in the first place?  If you are looking for a community to actively participate in, TIGSource is actually full of a lot of interesting characters and pretty great people.

I rate this thread 10 Game Vortexes out of 10 Geocities.

Locking it now.

Codergames, the worst feedback you've received has been about YOU, not your game. You can't seem to communicate with people in a rational, human way. Your posts are paranoid, delusional, and antagonistic. Listen: You have some variety of personality disorder. Seek help, I'm not kidding.

[Guert]

Feedback is a place to give developers feedback on their games. This thread is obnoxious, irritating and right down idiotic. You wanna masturbate your ego? Post in annoucements. You want to get some real comments on your games, good or bad alike, post here. You're not happy with me locking the thread? PM me and we'll talk.

Mister Guert is not amused by this thread.
