yeah, we all know how disappointed you were when your generic match 3 game didn't do as well as those dastardly pixel art using fiends. we already spent like 10 pages on that shit.

And after reading this and the discussion here I'm rethinking my future, but it may be different for me given that I plan on being a sound designer and not live in the states?

Con(cept) artist.
If you actually make a demo, people will actually have a clue what the game is like and not what you like them to think it is because 99% of games fall short of the hype they generate.
That's the whole game industry business, you create a perceived value greater than the real value, that is how successful indies do as well.

So indie games are fueled by hype and shattered dreams, and AAA games are fueled by the tears of 80-hour-a-week slave laborers? Sounds fantastic.  yeah, we all know how disappointed you were when your generic match 3 game didn't do as well as those dastardly pixel art using fiends. we already spent like 10 pages on that shit.

There's so many people here that have never finished a game, unless they have one linked in their profile or sig, I assume they haven't.  |

both anty and pompi's attitudes stem from jealousy / envy, since their games didn't do very well (probably because of quality issues, but they're too oblivious to notice the irony inherent in their bitching)

and where does your bitching come from?

i don't know, but right now the world exists in a state devoid of motion. the birds stand impassively on their branches. clouds hang thick in the air, there shall be no hither and thither this day. the sun however continues its motions, slowly and reluctantly. great sol himself wants to be there the second, the very instant, that J-Snake Presents: Trap Them is released. but the sun knows he too has a role to play, the passing of the days must go on, for without a tomorrow, there is no J-Snake Presents: Trap Them.

my impressions: looks polished, and a bit like puzzle quest; i'd probably play buy it if it were on sale or something, or on steam, or both. but it's not the kind of game that makes me want to buy it at full price on a dev's site in general i think the match-3 niche is dead and died long ago (around 2005?), it's a bad idea to be a 'late entry' into a popular genre, no matter how good the entry is, because once a genre fashion fades it becomes a niche rather than something everyone likes. it's like making a nes game many years after the snes came out, it's not going to sell well no matter how good of an nes game it is, because everyone has moved to the snes i think this is just the danger of just making a game in whatever genre's popular at the time, because often by the time you're finished with the game the genre's popularity has faded away |
