Quoted from Mocean:I've received my share of negative feedback about Buffy and I've had it really bum me out. Thankfully most are from people who refuse to play it, or just write Nelly and me off as SoF killers. Negative feedback from people who are willing to give it a chance and play it is honesty helpful. Many folks simply don't feel comfortable in that way. This weekend, I even Asked Hilton for his patented brutal honesty and was happy to receive it.
I am always open to useful feedback as well. As you mentioned though some of the less useful feedback can burn you out. It gets old when all you read is "I wish they hadn't destroyed an SOF" or " those poor SOF machines" or the one that pisses me off the most "it's just a rethemed SOF" The latter is usually said as they pass the machine not even wanting to play it.
It was great hearing Hilton's feedback when we asked him, and his answer confirmed exactly why I thought the game wasn't get more attention. "It's Buffy". I get it. The name of the show is probably the worst thing about (the show). Most people wont even give the show a chance because of it. I suspected this was the reason behind our game not getting as much buzz as others, and Hilton confirmed it. Its a bummer, but I get it. We just get the double whammy as not only do we have that issue to overcome, we also have the SOF killer reputation going for us. Lol. I cant do anything about the name of the show, but I do plan to squash that other issue. That is why I am planning to build another Buffy entirely from scratch. Then no one can say its a retheme, "just an SOF", or call me a killer anymore.
Quoted from Whysnow:for the record, Buffy is super fun!
I look forward to playing it more and learning more about it next time I see it.
Thanks again for your feedback! I am glad that you gave the game a shot and that you enjoyed it. It will only get better too, as Mocean continues to finish up the code on it. We look forward to your feedback in the future.
