General Discussion / WHY Badspot finds it hard to make updates for Blockland (chill, community)
« on: March 21, 2017, 03:00:03 AM »
I don't know if the community realises this, but.. Badspot is burnt out.
He has been CONSTANTLY pushing updates every year or month or two for TEN YEARS.
If I were Badspot, I would try to concentrate on something else. And he is doing that.
But the community, you, needs to chill. You can't pressurise Badspot to make more updates. He isn't a slave. He's only one person.
Take a look at Overwatch, for example. They can meet the expectations of the community because they have a DEVELOPMENT TEAM.
Badspot can't. He's done Blockland all on his own with kompressor for TEN YEARS. You need to realise that we have to give him a rest.
But don't lose hope. If he recovers, he MIGHT just update Blockland again and cross the finish line to take the expectations of the community.
But currently, all you're doing is just complaining and pestering about Badspot that he's grumpy, money-hungry. No. He isn't.
He is an average game developer. Game developers HAVE to make money. It's their business. And if you're saying he's grumpy, that's because he can't rest.
Same in real life. If you can't rest after a race, you feel really grumpy. That's Badspot right now.
So how to solve this? Give him a rest. I can tell how much he can't rest and recover from this comment he made:

What game from 2007 is still getting free updates? Are you writing to the devs of "Kane & Lynch: Dead Men" every day to complain that they're not updating the game for free? How about "Enemy Territory: Quake Wars"? These were $60 games.
Blockland is not a subscription product. There should be no expectation of free content updates at all. Paying me $20 ten years ago does not make me your slave today.
He has actually made extremely good points. But the community perceives it as the, 'usual' Badspot.
It's not usual. It's unusual. He isn't getting any rest or recovery whatsoever, and we need to give him that. That's why he can't update Blockland.
So please, give him motivation and support and recovery + rest, and just let him off. It's like working for a job, and you work every day, even at the weekend. Nobody wants that. But that's the scenario Badspot is in right now. So PLEASE let him off the job, and just let him concentrate on other things for a while. If you be patient, he could make updates for Blockland. I reckon if we start recovering him and giving him rest now, in a few months, or a year, an update for Blockland will come out. But currently, that prediction is only 5 YEARS or 10 YEARS. If we continue the way we are now, he will start driving away from Blockland for a LONG while.
GIVE him a break.
