Please
read this whole post before flaming me, Mike this includes you. I'm not
ranting, I'll be balanced.
The reason people are so harsh with MMV or
QAG is the recent track record for accessible game development. Look at the
audio games list on this very site, and how many are in developmental limbo?
I'm not saying this will be you Mike, but people can't tell the difference
between people who won't finish and people who will just from a few posts
and a web site.
Here's my suggestion: Everyone ease up on Mike for
starters, the responses have been far too intense. Mike, please don't be
discouraged but be sensitive to the current climate by restricting your
announcements a little, for the sake of everyone else's feelings if nothing
else, please?
As for criticising your sig I have reasons. As a player the
sig would be fine, but as a developer it suggests you think you are above
the rest. I'm sure this isn't true, which is why I pointed this out. I'm
sure noone would object to Josh De LionCourt using that sig, but he's
earned it. If you took offence I apologise, that was never my intent.
All
in all, just calm down everyone. Have a cold drink and back off, Mike carry
on with all the enthusiasm you can muster you'll need it even without
people flaming you. Everyone else, give him the benefit of the doubt for now
and be a little more civilised with your suggestions about the best practice
for game developers.
