Thank you! Have you tried to play an actual game?

Thanks, I'm trying to stay motivated and finish it fully, the way I planned it from the beginning.. it's going to be a very long journey. But I'm not going to give up.. It's the sort of game that I would like to play, that is pretty much my vision. Some people don't understand, that it's still in development status, and you should treat current version as a demo, but majority of players simply ignores that, or they just can't see shit which is in front of them in the description. And then I get loads of messages and complains, how this game is shit, everything is horrible and etc. And then I receive a lovely low rating, just to make me feel better It's not like I'm complaining, but I put shitloads of time and effort into this project, I know it's not perfect, or maybe just bad, but I disagree that it's "absolutely terrible".
I was googling for some videos about it, and I found lots of let's plays of Slowdive, and as if on purpose most of them are in foreign languages that I don't understand.. german, french, turkish, spanish. And it's made by little brats, who are barely 13.. Puzzles are too difficult, I have to use my brain and logic to solve it.. fuck this, your game sucks man. I can't satisfy all the audience, I can't understand what exactly is wrong with it, I can't improve it, when I constantly get negative feedback which is either not fair, or not logical. But I'm still here, I'm still making it, even if this game is meant to rot. My dream is to drop completed version on steam, I don't care how long it will take.. The creator of Shadow of Colossus and Ico was making the Last Guardian for 9 years.. I don't know how he didn't went crazy.. but he did it, it's finally coming out in october! I'm really happy for that guy, and that inspires me as well. Probably I'll be just releasing little updates and making my own stuff simultaneously.

It's nice to see your opinion on this I do appreciate that you want to go for it, and hell, why cater to the brats? That's the pit big companies fall in, they try to make the new generation happy (those that buy stuff with their parent's money) but in doing so ruin their games for the current generation (those that pay for their games).
Just see how World of WarCraft went downhill after they finished their finest expansion, and not only because they're cramming as many fillers as possible to extend the game's life, but because they dumped out many of the awesome aspects the game had - just because those were too hard for brats and toddlers to understand. In catering to the kids they pretty much murdered the game.

See there? The peak is when the Lich King can be defeated, something people wanted to do since Warcraft 3.
Then comes Cataclysm and people are "It's ok, but not as enticing."
Then there's the Kung Fu Pandaria horseshit, where subs plummet to pre-Burning Crusade levels.
At last, there's a peak when Warlords of Draenor comes out and everyone hopes it'll be great, but it's a tragedy and people barely play it for a single month.

Let it a lesson: NEVER cater to the brats. They aren't gamers for long enough to actually know how to play games and know what they really want.

I stopped playing WoW after Lich King, It just lost my interest.. To me it felt that, there is too much stuff in the game already, and everything is a bit too crowded and complicated.. Anyway it was still long time ago, but I do understand your point, and I'm no way going to do something in such way, the main reason is that I don't get any kind of profit from what I do, I don't even have a specific audience, I'm not losing anything. I'm just having a hard time to gather proper suitable community for my content.

Then look for peoples with brains and I think that as long as you keep on doing games for the love of it, you won't make crappy ones

It's pretty trippy! I like it a lot. Great work on it. 

Everything good with me. I would have posted another video sooner, but I made a ton of them and I hated the end product. I must have dumped 12 of em before settling on the vampire one I uploaded today.

Thanks! It's always better to go for quality neither quantity.
