I made a review on a game called starboy a few years ago and here is the original review. As you see the developer had words about it and didn't like what I had to say. I left it alone. Now One of the reason is I'm bringing this back is because of this develop review response. I have nothing against the reviewer just the developers review response because with mine he wanted to discredit me instead of learning.
SO! I'm going to re-review the developers response with my blog . Let me cut and paste what he said:
I am just going to call you out on your references to totally discredit you right from the beginning..
Now See I wasn't even bad in what I said he was just sore about how I talked about it but hey... it is what it is.
You compared my game Star Boy the Side Scroller Beat em up to "Bucky 0 Hare" the Platformer Gem from the 90's? Well I appreciate that much at least. But in no way is my game supposed to be Mario and that's ridiculous to compare apples to oranges.
Now I will apologize with that because I could've been a little more pacific with that one. I was comparing your game to Bucky O' Hare Arcade "you don't have to watch the whole video just enough to get what I'm trying to say. " Not the platformer.
also Taco Gun Truck was an Idea from a 10 year old that's graphics were done by his Parents that are supposed to be Seasoned Veterans of game design.. So again thank you for noticing that my game was better than most others out there.
didn't you tell me that you use to teach classes in game design? What does john's Kid have to do with anything? yeah he's a pioneer in the gaming world but still. OH! and also You did say that your game was going to try to out throne Cuphead.
Also my game was my childhood super hero that I thought of when I was 9.. So in essence this game was Designed by a 9 year old; 9 year Old "Me" but now I am 30 years old and I have been playing games for a very very long time and know exactly what I am doing.. Star Boy has amazing Graphics and game play called "beat em up" Like Xmen or the Simpsons Arcade or Battle Toads or Streets of Rage it is in no way a Mario game.. or a taco gun truck...
Keep saying this: my game was my childhood super hero that I thought of when I was 9 Or Star Boy was originally Designed when I was in 4th grade Well if this is the case... you INSULTED your own childhood character! You couldn't of waited a few more years to perfected your craft into video game development and made something better than this. CASE. POINT. PERIOD. Don't be throwing this bullshit at people because seriously its old...
I've seen Someone drawing their childhood characters. And the outcome is even better than year.
Let me make this clear... I'm not talking bad about how his characters n such looks because as I wasn't kidding when I said I've seen games with the same style:
-Nepenthe
-Not COD
-NotTheNameWewanted
-Escape Doodleland
I own all of them and they're amazing. I just wish you keep this in the oven longer... but hey it is what it is...
So I'm going to leave this here and forget about it. And if he does catch wind on this blog and says more things I can't wait to discuss the assets hes stolen.
