Re: Bloodbath released!
Well, I did try to tell you Haily.
I take no real pleasure in being correct about it though.
The choice to launch it while going through a big change in your life was a really bad one I believe, and since you missed the Christmas holidays, you really should have waited for spring break to do the launch since then it might not have been as hard on any members of the team currently taking classes.
The first bad decision you made was letting random members of the community into your beta team and being to public about deadlines and progress.
I try to tell devs this before it happens, but rarely does anyone listen. Partly because of the excitement of making a new thing, and partly because I'm not a dev my self, which I get.
Anyway, just try to at least keep in mind my biggest request from the other topic. Drop this shit instantly when it starts effecting your mental health negatively, and if you have a really hard time deciding if it is or not, it probably is.
It's a free game that your likely even losing money on, for a tiny hard to please community, and your at a point in your life when you should probably be focusing on more important things like jobs and college, so it's really not worth allot in the end.
It's not even that original, and it's programmed in a dieing language with custom internal libraries, so even the experience angle rings quite hollow.
The disappointment of your most loyal players will be sad sure, but you can always try again in a year or two under another name if worst comes to worst.
Sorry to be a downer, but sometimes, a project is fucked as soon as it gets into the planning stage, and the longer that fact is denied, the more unneeded misery results.
