Repeated personal attacks and accusations against jam participants will do that to ya. In my opinion, the organizers were really patient with your attitude for a good long while.

If you are unable to see why things transpired as they have, I urgently suggest working on your empathy and communication skills.

I appreciate you are frustrated right now, but even then you should be able to see that drudging up drama on other people’s public submission pages is petty at best and not how an adult should act.

Kind regards.

Who do you think I made personal attacks towards? I've spent years practicing positive language, am a certified conflict resolution intermediary. How many times people like Earthbound and TheDevDork accused me? How many people have you seen who have handled accusations with such neutral tone?

Two people certainly offended me. Yuni called Aleksandar "anal" and Will called Aleksandar an "asshole".  So what? Did I complain? No. I tried to settle it like grown people between each other. But they both did complain to the organiser, like children complain to parents.

You say SighTdesigns was very patient - I'm inclined to think they are just very busy. I tagged them at least once and tried to call them a few times before the whole situation with interpreting the theme escalated.

Yes I am pathetic. That's exactly how I feel. People stomped on me. If I were to listen to certain people I would just give up on this project I've worked 3 years and on which I spent all the savings I had. People who bash this game for poor UI do not know how many iterations I've made. It's very difficult to create a mass product.

Peace

I regret that I insulted William by saying playing his game is a waste of time. It was a moment where I listened to my pride, not to ethics - who is he, a novice to criticise the work I've done on UI?... I try to do better than that usually. I've lost an opportunity.
