\u2026 you don\u2019t leave a comment on games you rate.<\/p>\n
Ok that may be a tiny bit too strong. But people are waiting for your comments! Don\u2019t you love comments? You\u2019re\u00a0obsessively refreshing the page to check your vote count, and you see you have one more.\u00a0Then you open your game\u2019s page and it\u2019s all sadness and disappointment and crying puppies, because there\u2019s nothing new.<\/p>\n
I think some people don\u2019t leave comments because they didn\u2019t like the game, and don\u2019t want to leave something negative. But that\u2019s the kind of feedback that can be most useful to the developer, and there are ways to phrase it so that you don\u2019t crush their souls into a million pieces.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s how I usually structure my comments:<\/p>\n
<What I liked><Suggestions for improvement><End with something positive><\/p>\n
Example:<\/p>\n
Fun to play, I really liked the sound effects.\u00a0I would have liked it to be\u00a0faster paced though. Nice job overall!<\/p>\n
Even if you didn\u2019t like the game, you can always find something positive to say, even if it\u2019s just that one sprite or sound effect. And if you really really can\u2019t, \u00a0you can congratulate them on\u00a0making a game in 48\/72 hours, because that\u2019s always\u00a0an achievement\u00a0worth celebrating.<\/p>","time":"August 29th, 2015 12:39 am","title":"Your are a monster if\u2026","title_was_empty":false}
