@theWellRedMage I don't think I realised how good this was at the time. Genuinely miss a good mmo these days.

[Sean Darling @BeastmanSean]

Added bonus is it makes people feel more like leaving a review if they haven't done so already.

[Sean Darling @BeastmanSean]

Bit of advice I just shared that I'd say to any game dev with a game that is in the wild.

@LuminousGamesNZ I also recommend plugging your reviews into a discord channel. I use... https://t.co/sF6lEcRUAg

Then your community will reply to posts for you that they can and sort out the naysayers with common sense without exposing yourself as a grumpy dev.

Good luck, keep the chin up!

@LuminousGamesNZ 2) Accept some humans are just trash.
3) Accept that in some cases even if they are being assholes they might be right and you should just reply saying thanks, I'll look into fixing that and leave it there.

[Sean Darling @BeastmanSean]

@LuminousGamesNZ We get stupid reviews all the time for From the Depths. It's hard when you first have to read that rubbish but what I recommend doing is:
1) Never reply unless its to help.

@EddCoates Well done Edd. I was in a car crash a few years ago, broke my spine, ended up with FND, hit rock bottom. But it ended up a silver lining as I'm now in the games industry too.

@LoveRetroBTW Well I'm sure for about 90% of people that is either mario or duck hunt haha. Mario for me.

Can people please stop using "metaverse." It's like a sword in my brain every time someone drops it thinking they sound cool without actually knowing what they are saying.

I'll be giving a talk on User generated content and creators becoming developers at the UKIE hub crawl in Glasgow on Thursday.

@Jonathan_Blow There are bajillions of games. It's game media/news that has died. But that in turn was driven by people expecting everything for free and flocking to f2p shooters etc. The only people to blame for a lack of visibility are gamers themselves. Steam discovery queue tries.

[Sean Darling @BeastmanSean]

Would love to know why the UK media has largely ignored this in favour of trying to smear the SNP.
This government is rotten to the core. The same government that chooses to villify nurses wanting a pay rise when they've handed out 29 million of tax payer money to a fraud.

@Lathrix I've been getting those for 8 years because despite 5 phone calls to inform them the address doesn't actually exist that they send to, they keep doing it anyway and the postie assumes its our house. Still no one has appeared to enforce anything so I can tell them face to face..
