i'm so sorry people are so horrible. there's a big difference between constructive criticism and people just being assholes. i have been a fan of your work (albeit a lurker in the comments) for a while and idk what people's issues are. maybe their reading comprehension is bad because i have always loved this story. i understand your need for separation, though. it can be difficult and emotionally draining and you shouldn't have to deal with that. i wish you all the best and support any decision you make <3
Can you make it paid on itch.io so we can still play it? I use to support you on patreon but ya girl got pregnant in this economy 馃槶. I can't do monthly when I'm out of work for 3 months
BRO NOO!! i love your games!! but health comes first! if you feel this is the best way to go in order to give your game the best quality, then go for it!! i think us readers will all agree on that! Cant wait to see it when its complete!! its gunna be amaz!! Xx
Always prioritize your health first and don't worry about inconveniencing others. I hope you feel better soon, and that others learn that if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. Much love towards your way <3
Well it sucks. I'll wait for the full free game at the end in a few years maybe ? Well if it still will be free when completed. I know public posts is a problem but I'd love to hear from you once a year. It tells us there is no abandon. Anyway do what is good for you. That's what is necessary. And you still doing what you like being the YAH game or something else is winning agains the mean little trolls !
I'll likely make a free full version. It just won't be coming out in parts like before. It's also just...REALLY nice to think about being able to readjust the story and really make it shine before posting (and not worrying about future chapters). 馃挋
People who hide behind their internet anonymity to insult and belittle others are losers. Plain and simple, pathetic losers. I'm so sorry you've been receiving such hate, I rarely look at comment sections because I am very sensitive to criticism (founded or not) and even when it's not directed at me it hurts, so I completely understand you stepping back. At the end of the day, you are more important any game or project could ever be, and you should always put your health and wellbeing first. I love YAH for both the story and art, and I am willing to wait for as long it takes for you to finish it, so please take breaks if you do need them. I can only hope you feel better in the future, and that the losers making hateful comments actually get lives and hobbies and stop attempting to drag others into their own pitiful misery.
I'm normally a lurker & silent supporter of indie games I enjoy, just keeping up with updates ect. But it's a little hard not to post my own thoughts at this point — No matter what you do, there will ALWAYS be criticism.
So what if it's "wattpad slop"? Can we not enjoy that kind of content/game? I know myself & plenty of other people who enjoy trashy content even though it's trash, it's fun! We like it! And just because it's "slop" or "garbage" doesn't mean there isn't something GOOD about it.
People will not like a game, for no other reason than they just Want to dislike it. Just like how people will look for a reason to dislike someone Just to dislike them. Those sorts of people, are not worth paying attention to.
Put out what YOU like, what YOU enjoy, because it could be absolutely 100% perfect & someone will still find somethin to complain about. So why not just do what you like in the end?
After all, that's how we all got here in the first place. You posted something YOU enjoyed, and people liked it enough to want to see more.
Do what you need to do for your mental health, all i'm trying to say is, don't let your fear of putting out something "bad" or people's criticisms take away your enjoyment. As long as you're satisfied & had fun with your project, that's what matters in the end. Us enjoying it is just a bonus.
I know and am aware. 馃挋 I've been handling it for the past 3 years, but as I learned with Close To Obsession, I think its just better for me to put out the project (the sfw versions at least) for free when they're finished. And doing it this way would allow me to not feel as anxious with major changes if the script needs to change or clear up plot holes (which is something I think often and worry about as well.) There's benefits from keeping it out of the public eye for a bit. 馃挋
Hey Unknown Hermit! :) First of all, you don't owe any one anything so please don't feel bad about providing constant updates here on itch.io. YAH has been like a drug to me because it's so unique in every aspect (I played it ever since you uploaded it for the 1st time :D, Adam sure grew taller xP - not complaining). I think you're way ahead of the curve/time in originality, creativity and writing style. I'm happy for you that you decided to look after yourself and everyone here supports you! I'm proud of you for putting yourself first, your health and happiness is what matters the most. If you don't look after yourself first, no one will. I hope that one day I'll get to read your completed masterpiece (YAH) and if not then don't worry, what matters is that that you continue doing what you love and will stay healthy! :)
I wish you lots of creative, fun, relaxing and lovely days! May your spirit never break! With time we all grow and change, and for you I wish that time will give you superb confidence, time to unwind ;) and for you to spread your wings as a writer and an artist.
Thank you for humoring us so far, you're very kind! ^^
Nooo this sucks!! I'm so sorry you have to go through something like this. It's genuinely a good game and I've been loving the plot since the beginning. I am sad I'll have to wait until the full version drops but you as the artist and writer are far more important, so take your time and do your best in whatever you think will help you the most. please take care of yourself :( <33
