XGhost {l Wrote}:I really don't know, from where your aversion to the team comes from...
From nowhere. I don't feel aversion toward the team. I just realized that they had no interest to include this track on the game.
XGhost {l Wrote}:. Most of the comments here are positive
I really still doesn't accounted every comment, so, I don't know how many percent are favorable or not. However, the bad comments were really disgusting. Read again and you realize.
XGhost {l Wrote}:... I personally really like this track very much.
Thanks a lot. We (I and my brother) are proud to contribute with a track that some people enjoy. Coming from a game developer like you, it's even more important, since you are used to test WIP projects to the exhaustion until you consider it acceptable.
XGhost {l Wrote}:What also shines through, is that when you released the track in 2015, you released it with the belief that it's finished and there will be only some small parts to fix*.
Yes, but, when I said "finished", I mean
"I won't modify the shape of the track neither I will do any big modification. Just give me your opinions and I will fix and improve all the details, but not a complete redo". Maybe I did not use the appropriate term to describe the track at that time.
XGhost {l Wrote}:You stated that this was your first track for STK. Remember, your first track/game/project will never be the perfect one. People progress by failures and mistakes. Feedback and critics are important and can sometimes hurt, but will always make you better! You don't need to value every feedback and comment in gold.
Criticism is completely normal. I don't mind when I see personal opinions. I just don't like some term like "ugly", "boring", etc. There are other ways to say "I don't like much".
XGhost {l Wrote}: When you get comments like "impossible to drive" or something, take it, evaluate it, and try to elaborate what the writer really meant. What does work? Where could an unexperienced player fail? Where did I do wrong? Looking back through the posts, you've gotten so many good, even great feedback from so many perspectives. A pity that it came too late in most cases (I'll elaborate, don't worry).
This kind of observation is perfectly normal. No problem, here.
XGhost {l Wrote}: To sum it up: No interest? That's out of the question! You showed us all what can be achieved with hard work and commitment! Your first track? What you delivered is awesome and you should be f***ing proud of that, seriously...As for your track: I would put Las Dunas Stadium down. You did a great job, there's much to improve (like always
) but I would move on. This was your first track. Your next one will be even better.
Cheers and thanks again for you great contributions!
Many thanks, really. Your opinion is very important with all those encouraging words, but I will not change my vision on the acceptance of this track. I don't hate samuncle, auria or any other member of the team, of course, but It's simple to see their total lack of interest: two years passed and none of them asked me something like "Can you give us the Blender file? We want to put Las Dunas on the game, but we need to change it first". The file is there. What kind of interest keeps the original files of a track on the repository for two years without any work or attempt to adapt it to the required standards for official tracks? It's clear that they are not interested in this track.
I don't worry about this. I know this track is far from perfect. I could do a better project for it if I had more patience. So, my brother could do an even better job than he did. Anyway, this is our first track and some people like it. So, we are satisfied. Unfortunately, we didn't improve
Las Dunas Stadium because no one person told the personal impressions after the final releasing of the track on march 2016.
This was my complaint, TBH. In other words:
all the feedback was given while the track had issues. I mean, by December 2015,
but no one posted a single comment when it was finished, by march 2016..
Anyway, I'm happy to see that you like the track. Thank you very much for your observations and friendly comment.
