(Edit: This was much longer than expected or intended. Summary: it’s ok we’re chill) It’s ok. I understand where you are coming from too. everyone is different in how they process things. For example recently I saw various reactions to dead insects being turned into jewelry. There were people who loved bugs, didn’t think much of bugs, and hated bugs. Regardless of their opinion on bugs, some people thought it was morally and ethically wrong, some people thought it was not their style, some people, thought there was better ways to preserve bugs, some people compared it to turning humans into jewelry in a cruel way, and some people compared it to putting the hair and ashes of loved ones into jewelry. Every response was so different in how the person felt. Things that inhabit grief can come in various forms and how people react to it changes drastically from person to person. In condensed places with high levels of contradicting feelings on a set subject of passion and with no threat from the changing opinion of important individuals in their life, either through support or through isolation, people are more likely to state their personal opinions fully and openly. I find that many if not all of these comments are feeling the same emotional base, but the subtle buildup of other emotions and memories and personality shapes each comment to be unique, in a way the writer understands. I don’t often think of how I will be perceived deeper than how I perceive myself. As a result, this is not the only time I have said something that ended up being different from what I meant. How you perceive me is a result of what you have gone through, the good and bad, intentional or not, and the parts of myself that I show, good or bad, intentional or not. I think that’s why being human is so hard. We interpret being human to be an exact science. We have expectations of ourselves to be reasonable and relateable and without fault. But being human is not science. I think it’s an art. Mistakes can be covered up or emphasized or ignored or maybe not even be out of place, but they are there. No human is perfectly reasonable, or constantly relatable, or without fault. But we are the artists of our own humanity, for better or worse every opinion adds clay to the sculpture. And art is in itself a form of thought to be interpreted uniquely by each view dependant on circumstances, experiences, personality, memory, emotion. I think that you stood up in what you believe to be right, which I agree with. we both got to interpret each other from nothing but words, and I think we learned things from each other that we hadn’t yet. That is art, how it is meant to be interpreted, how it changes as it is continuously being created. This is being human.

I am so sorry. i am not trying to be mean to the dev, it was a beautiful and well made game which was good at bringing out the strong emotions and themes it was meant to bring out. I have also expirienced a lot of greif in my lifetime including multiple animals and humans. i didnt know that people were missreading my message. i cope a lot with humor. the science behind it is interesting, i took an anthropology course. my intention was to be humorus but also i was sad because of the games sad ending and wanted to highlight that aswell. im also autistic and despite having heightened emotions, its sometimes hard to predict the emotions of others.
EDIT: im sorry if this is missinterprreted please read replies. i am So sorry.
Do NOT play if you have a white cat like i do. Please. I have to go hold my cat now. You cant just make this for a dare. the devs who had this idea deserve jailtime or something. it hurt. i dont want my spicie kitty to go. i dont want my misty to leave either. now i have to think about that. my therapist is about to go on mat leave and now im stuck with this.
Its hard not to like something so awesome. And no game comes without imperfections. They all have bugs, just like how almost every painting i make has a smudge or how even the best singers and musicians sometimes play the wrong note. The only reason you notice is because its something you made. you were there for the entire process. by the end of that process you've learned something new that maybe you could have done better, but you would never have known it could be improved if you didn't see its flaws. and the reason you think other games may be better made than yours and that it reflects badly on your skills as a creator is the same reason a younger version of yourself would think the same thing when i, having tried coding recently and getting a taste of what "WHATS WRONG WITH IT THIS TIME" x three hours per command i type, look at people like you who made entire denmakes from scratch. you have more experience than i do and more than you used to, beyond that, most popular other games, including the original tunic game, were made by whole studios with teams and collaborators. theres also games like stardew valley which was developed by one person, and it took years, and there are still fixes and patches coming out to this day.
and lastly, no matter the game, no matter the developer, no matter the studio, you can always tell when someone puts their soul into something. when a person is truly passionate and trying to do what they love and as a creator myself we often undervalue the work we do, especially when others who don't understand what goes into it undervalue it. Remember to notice how impresive what you do is. and have an amazing day.
This actually made me so happy. Instantly downloaded it onto my emulator, im going to cry bc of how happy i am. tunic is absolutely one of my very top favorit games. i have the physical copy of the game and book and everything. Im needlefelting the creatures. having the game i am obsesed with on my little handheld console, incredible. i am so happy. hearing the music in bit was like being hugged by a warm hotchocolate in fall withextra marchmallows while it lightly rains and im looking out the window from a cozy chair with a flannel plaid blanket and a cat on my feet which are curled in the chair because its comfier to sot with your legs up. long story short, twas a treat for the tism <3
