Ahem. Let me uh... figure out how to phrase this (9 distractions and counting. 3 Persona switches. 1 internal cringe.)
1. You can be proud of your work. And so will everyone else be.
So, first of all, I'd like to say that you are, by far, your own harshest critic. Perhaps you've heard this a lot of times, but emphasis (or the lack thereof) doesn't change the inherent truth of a statement And that means that whatever you're afraid of people thinking that your stuff doesn't meet expectations or whatever... Generally no one (exceptions in the minority and not important anyway) will feel that a game with love and care poured into it is lacking. (Like. Genuinely. What do you mean you finished this in 3 days?? The art is so good? Tangent continued at subpoint x)
2. Let your work PLEASE I BEG OF YOU be seen
Secondly, in my (somewhat pretentious but attempting to be humble) opinion, working on a project and putting effort into it and then just... leaving it seems a bit... sad. I may not be one to speak [This rant has been removed because no one wants to see someone yelling at themself lol] but whatever anyone says that is mean or antagonistic towards your work is... genuinely unimportant. Like, ouch, you've seen (or perhaps not) my game that I've put in all this work for and you say it's terrible to my face? But, really, why should their words matter? They aren't even trying to give you constructive criticism, they just think it's ass (Or want to demoralize someone, those sadistic internet trolls). Probably says more about them Okay Okay I won't throw shade They have no place to stand on to say such things. As evidenced by the overwhelming crowd of people pleased to see something of quality given to them. Like this game is. Good quality. (Second gush about how you finished this game in 3. DAYS. When I couldn't even figure out save files alsdalflm)
P.S. I'm rambling. Again. Why. I get that I'm trying to give encouragement and advice (Me? Advice? Now where did I get such notions that I agflgnj) but I do hope that my sincerity can be seen here. Where everyone who visits this page can see my comment and be like haha this guy is so vulnerable on the internet, what a noob aoissaflmlkamkn
I need to stop keyboard mashing. Keyboard mashing privileges removed.
Yeah lemme switch real quick
Hello, pleasure to meet you. My speech is more refined to avoid tangents and being flustered. Now, back to this... essay.
3. Praise for the quality of the art and voice.
The art style is charming and expressive, and I CAN"T DRAW FOR ahem, am unable to produce any meaningful depiction of imagination, so I must say your work has greatly impressed me. I hope my compliment carries its weight despite my lack of expertise in the field. psst It's very cute, I love it. In addition, the voice was very clear and easily understood, carrying a great deal of expressiveness. It is very soothing to hear.
4. Final words
Suffice to say, you have earned, without doubt, yet another adoring fan eager to see what you shall make next. That being said, let not my expectations pressure you, for I shall yet remain content if you seek to keep your works to yourself (albeit longing to experience what could have been). Ultimately, what you do with what you have is up to you. I would feel especially terrible if my hopes were to push you into burnout, and I would like to be informed if I am in any way related to such stress. With that, I bid thee a godbwye, until we next meet.
Did I seriously just write a letter,
