Can we help him?
Can we help him?
We can but we shouldn't and don't want to so we won't
>Wanted to make a game about story instead of gameplay
No
How?
Give him a curriculum so he'll know what video games are really all about?
You can write a fucking masterpiece but if you wrong it by smearing shit on a wall thats what people are going to see it as.
YIIK is fundamentally not a good game to play.
Would he even want the help?
I don’t think true intellectual writers would even wanna help him with his upcoming projects. He’s not really philosophical, he’s not conceptual in any way, he doesn't hold a candle on the works he’s inspired from, and the works he’s inspired from are not really that deep. Murakami novels? Really? Could be any more basic?
If his game were actually good people would like it
>puts "Postmodern" in the title
>claims to know what "art" is
The problem isnt that games cant be art
Its that "artist" think they can just slap a message onto shitty gameplay and call it a night. You need to know how to use the medium to make a good experience.
He is trying to make the monalisa with a paintroller
This list of Self-pwnage is _fine_
you can help by _doing nothing_
>he fell for the postmodern meme
>he thinks people want to spend the length of an RPG with a piece of shit unlikable character
>he says games can't have anything meaningful in them because he tried to copy meaningful games and did so badly
Christ what a brainlet.
Fucker needs to get off his high horse and stop blaming the consumer. No one is required to buy his game.
Pick yourself up and try again.
Lol what a baby, he throws a tantrum after working hard and failing once. Go talk to Yoko Taro about making unlikable characters, go talk to him about failing after putting in hard work for years. What a baby.
Its wrong to make the main character unlikable as it makes it impossible for the average person to connect with them. Yeah sure if the character is super confident and great its an admitted power fantasy but atleast thats better than being forced to play as a faggot
You can't call what you make art. That's up to everyone else to decide.
>people don't like what i made
>this is obviously their fault
ok
Making a character with flaws and in need of some growth is extremely different from making an unlikable character. Dante from Devil May Cry 3 is an asshole at the start of the game, but still has endearing qualities.
Video games are art, it's just the vast majority of them are fucking bad. compare journey to yiik and the distinction is clear as fucking day
Pretty much this. Nothing else you can really add.
A movie might have the most powerful life message ever in it, but if the acting, script and direction was bad, no-one would really care.
He had a chance to realise that his writing and character were shit, but instead managed to come to the conclusion that video games weren't art and that the entire world just doesn't appreciate his meaningful, impactful, thought provoking genius.
He is probably beyond help.
Art isn't a measure of quality.
There is such a thing as bad art, as well as good art.
His game is a form of art, that doesn't stop it from being shit.
