Comments

This is more of a general feedback:
I think you should look at how other devs present their projects before you publish. You can program 'like a god', but if you don't get players interested to try, it's all for naught.

In particular, you're taking no advantage of the description field/"Author Comments" (the field is called "Commentary:" in the project interface, AFAIK.)

Why look to other dev's there work?
I understand it from youre point of view, but i rather build on user experience/feedback.
Instead of trying to do what others do :)

I now made sure i have put some text in the "Commentary".
But thats maybe not what u meant!

"You can program 'like a god', but if you don't get players interested to try, it's all for naught."
Thats the point, i cant and need to improve by learning and receiving feedback in any way.

So thats why it doesnt look like the others :)

"Why look to other dev's there work?"
For the same reasons you look at other games: Inspiration, innovation, learning from the mistakes of others...

Imagine how a game by a developer of today would look like if all the games they every played would be games on the 'Atari 2600'. They'd have no concept of all the good ideas and new concepts that had taken place in decades.
If you ask any game developer who's working in the industry today "What were the top 10 games in 2024?" they could answer you without looking it up, because they at least 'had a look' into those games. To learn.
Unless you program just for yourself and do not expect people to play your games, do research into all aspects of self-publishing.

The people who you expect feedback from have limited time. And those among them who would write the best reviews will value their time. The way the games I commented on looked when I was about to play them told be "They do not care." and I was _surprised_ to learn that you were hoping for feedback. I found you through browsing the Artist News ( https://www.newgrounds.com/news/artists ) - not through your games. And if my heart was just a tiny bit smaller, I would not have responded to this 'rather generic' post.

Thanks for taking the time to respond!
And helping me out :)

Also im fairly new on newgrounds here so i have no idea what how when.
Just saw i could uploud games here, i didnt expect to have so fast feedback or comments on it.
