Salutations, faggots
I understand it's the hottest thing these days to break down, syllable by syllable, the messages by people who strive to single themselves out, be it through a voice, a sound, a logo, making a movie or game or any form of expression in any form, and those who float to the top thru either skill of confidence ( oh heaven forfend! ) get shredded. It's the classic Icarus B.S...and frankly, I'm flattered. I'm honored to be the next pariah, the next sacrificial lamb...you might think me christian, and while my family raised me to be, this is true, they didn't try super hard ( it was simply in their boring white Irish roots to do so ... wierd I'm not Catholic now that I think about it ) I am actually not of any belief. It's not that I'm Atheist ( though they do make the most compelling argument ) I simply don't think that GOD is a white bearded man sitting on clouds judging everyone.
Then again, I've been wrong before....
My recent comments on "the littlest Penguin 3D" have been met with *gasp* adversity....and since when is that such a bad thing? Without a difference in opinion, we all live in an echo-chamber. I strive for a dialogue--an exchange of differing opinions that can challenge thought and reason. Can I be defensive at times? Well, fuck yea I can, that's my opinion! Is it wrong to do so? Well that's up for debate. Will it pass eventually? Undoubtedly...Spelling? You bet there's errors! I don't proof read this shit guys...and I'm drunk ( yea yea excuses excuses ...you all sound like my gf's mother! )
So I'm not perfect, cool. Gets me rock hard. I've put years into this game dev thing and got nothing but backlash...maybe I should do something else...I had other ideas, but if the end product just gets shit on by those who can't, those who still break balls of those who try, after 9 YEARS....well, games have always served as ways to deliver my stories over gameplay....lets face it, most 'games' are cover shooters these days anyway....and if you remove the 'game' aspect from my work...all that's left with is...well, stories. I know people don't really read much anymore, but maybe I could be a writer ( most of you haters break balls over game bugs, which get removed in the process ) as I have a few games with excellent stories to pull from and expand upon ( under a different name, so obviously I don't carry over hater BS )
Just free thinking here, while its still free at least...

I think you're hysterical. I think the littlest penguin 3D was a great idea. Honestly a few minor adjustments and the game woulda been great in my opinion. Maybe add an arrow pointing in the direction like the 2D version. I think the vastness was great along with the sound. Today's gamers like instant gratification. They don't have the attention spans to play a game longer than 3 minutes without something exploding or doing something colorful. Hence the reason the single player campaign in games is usually 10 hours long. Now I didn't write this in my review because I thought you'd just chastise me or make fun of me. And I'm cool with that, I'm also a drunken asshole. But, the point is, I think you do great work. Ignore the morons and keep doing what you like to do. Peace!
