Viewing post in That's not my Neighbor comments

Thank you so much for your nice comment, but I am afraid it is too late, as you mentioned I am discourage not only for working on TNMN but on any other future game, at least for public projects.

Since I released the first TNMN game, the most common feeling I had was stress. I thought that I just make a little fun project as my other games and it was done, but since it took me a long time to make I want to try earn something from it and decided to ask for a little amount of money, I never thought that my game will be as popular as it is now, it was very overwhelming and then people just started to asking for more and more and more, but it doesn't seems to be never enough and after all the free work I made and all the new work I did for the remake so people don't feel like they are buying the same thing, people just came here and demands more with the excuse of having supported the project and for that reason I owe it to them, like if had the game for like a year with free updates wasn´t enough, or like if buying a product because their favorite content creator play it was support a project, 90% of the people who bought the game did it because they want it, not because they want to support my work.

I was just a dude who wanted to share his work.

I don't want to deal with this again, people don't care about my work, there are even people that has been stealing my game to publish it elsewhere, people only care about money and free stuff. I am so disappointed, I am sorry for the people who genually cares about my work, but this is too much for me.

I'm really sorry to hear what you've been going through, if you want to take a break from all of this situation, then it is absolutely okay, it is very understandable for the sake of your well-being. Some people can be really mean sometimes and they didn't even think twice before giving out their comments. Just please don't push yourself and you don't have to tell them the same thing if they keep complaining the same thing, they just can't read and understand what you've stated, your well-being is what really matter to us, the real fans will still be with you no matter what, so don't let all of the hates get to you. Best of luck and i hope that you can recover from all of this! ❤🤞

Bruh just releasing TNMN 2 instead of saying this one is discontinued and you will be continuing it at Steam would've fixed some things

Why should he name it to TNMN 2? He decided to remake the game because he wants to TRY something new, expand his game for another platform so his game will reach out more people than just releasing it on itch.io. It will be sounds more like a sequel rather than a remake if he needs to add the "2" like that while he already stated that the remake is still going to be similar to the original but with new features and lore. I know that the remake is not really enough yet, it lacks some lore and og features from itch.io version, but i believe if people didn't backlash him that much, he will be more motivated to improve the game based on the constructive criticisms. Remaking and adapting the game to another new platform still needs a LOT of effort after all even if you think it isn't enough, so i think it's pretty fair if he wants to charge the game again since he doesn't ask for extra everytime he updated the itch.io version to Campaign Mode and i literally wouldn't mind to pay again if he also decide to update the game in here and charge it more.

The remake doesn't have enough new things to call it a "sequel"

Plus its not even a sequel either so it wouldn't make sense.

I'm sorry for all the rude, disrespectful, and harassing comments that you have been getting recently. From what I have read, I understand that you promised a Steam Key for those who bought the original content so that they didn't have to purchase the game again. However, I also understand that this was a misunderstanding of Steam's policies AND that you apologized for your mistake. While I understand why people are upset, there is no reason to fight and gripe with you about it.

Destroying a person's passion for making and sharing their games is beyond cruel.

I highly doubt that they will understand that though, as they are more concerned about the X amount of money that they paid is "going to waste." It is not like you were asking for a lot, just a few dollars to support the project. But some people are treating you like a large game studio that asked for x10 the amount of money, then made empty promises about a new update or sequel that turned out to be the exact same game in a new package. That is not what happened.

You stated explicitly that the steam version was not an update. You apologized for an unfortunate misunderstanding regarding the policies. You're even charging the same price for the game instead of up-charging it!

Some people enjoy being cruel to others, and sadly you became a target of that. And as you stated yourself, the majority of people who bought the game purchased it because they wanted it, not because they wanted to support you. Many of us understand that what has already been said cannot be undone. There will still be ignorant people that treat you like a farm for new game content, rather than a person.

Your community, the ones that realize that you are a person; the ones that respect and value your work, can only hope that you do not stop making games altogether. We understand if you need a break too. This situation would be hard on anyone. Hopefully it will all die down sooner rather than later.

Best of wishes

I am a Chinese player and this game is also very popular in China. Thank you for updating the Chinese version. There is a novelist in China whose fans are always obsessed with the first book he wrote. In order to please their fans and make money, he keeps updating it and eventually earns a lot of money. However, the content updated afterwards is very repetitive and boring. I think earning money and self-expression may be contradictory.
