Oh no, you misunderstand. I love to challenge myself. I do it all the time. The problem arises when the game assumes I'll want to challenge myself in the way the developer artificially decides. I set up my own challenge runs in nude byte all the time. It's the only thing keeping it spicy since there's been no new weapon types or different modes (OR NEW CLASSES!) in forever, and the only things left for me to actually do are get all the cosmetics and then be perpetually seething over the incomplete gallery.

I hate because I know better but don't have the ability to fix it myself, generating extreme frustration. The process of improvement requires tempering, which always starts with fire and flames. It's just that people don't like to remember that talking to people is an option—usually the best one—and instead just knee-jerk shoot them in the head metaphorically speaking before even considering that they might have something worthwhile to say... Anyways. Yeah, skill issue all around. Wish I could do half the shit you do. I won't ever be able to reach that point because I am not genetically predisposed, nor did I have the environment growing up to foster the skill. The only thing I do well is think, very, very hard, and write goodly yesyes.

Trust me, I have tried, I in fact do try to learn how to both draw and code all the time, I just literally cannot. 13+ years of trying to learn, still stuck at the stickman stage and flatlining everytime I see an equation that calls for directories.

Sadly, the development of Nude Byte is currently on hold for a very long time now. (Not sure when I can resume) And it's the reason why there's nothing new to play in the game.

But I do see your point when it comes to the Gallery's Achievements. To me, I see those portraits as just portraits. I just let them be empty or rot for all I care. But to some people, they see it as "Hey, I look incomplete, do something about it!". That wasn't my intention when I made those. I simply think they're optional things. However, regardless of my intentions, that became the impression some people felt. I didn't realize some people would find it stressful.

But as mentioned before, I can't really remove the Gold/Silver/Bronze either. That will disrespect the efforts of some other people.

I'll think of something to improve this part sometime in the future. But I can't make any promises.

On another note: To me, showing hatred in messages might contradict your goal. Let's say, you wish to share ideas that can improve something or point out something. If you mix hate/insults in this, there's a higher chance that people will disregard your message and think of it as trolling instead (since they're butthurt), ignoring your advice, whether it's true or helpful. Without the hate/insults, there's more chance that people will read it. (Or possibly not. Realistically, most likely not. The world is unfair, you can't really tell when people will listen no matter what we do anyway. But, personally, I just don't like making people displeased) But really, we're all different kinds of people. If putting hate in your messages is what keeps you feeling relieved, you do you. What I said was just my analysis, anyway. Feel free to ignore it if it's not helpful for you.

(But just remember that most people don't want to see negative stuff. We all have the option to block/ban/report, after all, if things become way too problematic)

I wish I could give advice when it comes to creation. Sadly, I'm not a good teacher or someone who can give motivational speeches. All I know is that I'm aware I will never be the best at making things, but that shouldn't stop me from doing what I want.

A shame, but I'm aware. I've kept up with your news. I was hoping for melee weapon types and some new classes like cleric (deer) and berzerker (ram) that you'd get alongside buying new dolls before you left. It would be a great incentive to actually buy all the dolls around because each one would unlock a new class (and subsequently you could remove class swapping or delegate it to something only max-level dolls can do, which would be easier to achieve too because you're gonna have to level like potentially 60 different characters depending on how many classes you'd end up adding, only reason the current slog one is ok is because you don't need to level up more than 4 dolls to max).
