Re: what are your thoughts on BSG's new blog post?
@Dark:
If that early alpha had been put in the devs room and clearly labelled as such and explained what was/wasn't there and what you got in that release. I personally would be fine with it. it's when things like that get put in new releases that grinds my gears. Since I tend to assume new releases is for /finished/ games. Not prototypes.
Maybe the solution is an early access type system. Yes, the devs room can fill that but it's not really meant for that. If, for instance, that Entombed alpha was put in this new room, I'd be receptive to it if it was updated along the way to where it is now.
I just feel like Dark hit on something. There is a huge difference between somebody releasing a concept and being all hey guys new game link is here go play....and a dev coming in with an idea that they don't execute well.
That being said, personally I'm willing to give the dev a pass if they present their idea well and are receptive to feedback. But I'm biased against what I call 'lazy' game development. Part of that's auto assuming things about a project based on who and what they're making. Like oh, a BGT project by somebody and their English isn't great, I'll skip this because experience has taught me it'll not be that good, sorta thing.
