The Disappointment of Releasing a Game 

Ok, this video came in such a time in my life, that I'm almost scared of it being just wizardry. You see, I'm an visual artist and I'm making a webcomic called DRIVEN. It's totally free to read(I live in Brazil, there is not much of a stablished market for making a living as a comics artist), because it's a story I cary with me for already ten years and my life goal is just to share it with the world so everyone can at least lear why I think my creation is special. The thing is, I released chapter 6 just 2 days before the release of the video, and I kind of sad that it got almost no attention at all. I've never worked so hard on a single chapter, or at any other thing at all in my life(over 40 pages). And I try to hold my emotions to the few comments I got from it as they were all positive, but I feel that none of those tried to dig any deeper to see what I was trying to develop there, and that got me way harder that I would like to admit. Still, DRIVEN is quite successful overall(even though it never gave me any monetary return), but I still feel that it is far from accomplishing what I really wanted, and that is exactly that connection with my audience. I'm sorry for just writing all this down, but, as an artist, this video just hit the right notes at the right moment for me, and I felt I needed to get these thoughts out of my head.

Great video. I definitely relate… i think when making art we’re really hoping for people who will dig deep and piece together all the little secrets we wove in. “Cool song” or “interesting game” really feels like a let-down by comparison. (I also think this stems from the way artists relate to art they really admire)

This is a really good video, I'm surprised that this doesn't have more views.

I've released a few games in itch that I felt were unique that very few people appreciate. It's often called confusing, but for the few that enjoy, I think they do enjoy it. I think it can be disappointing but it's often satisfying when someone understands what you were going for and says something nice. In many ways Jon Blow inspires me to keep on developing unique ideas and try new things

I felt I really connected with Super Meat Boy's authors, throughout the whole game, but especially during Hell's boss, when we have to defeat the conglomerate of all of our past failures. I felt that was very relatable, we have our personal hell inside of us, where we have to pacify our own self-condemnation over many errors that don't really matter anymore. I still think it's an underrated game, it pushes you to improve at every step, no other game does that so intentionally.

Very nice video. I look forward to seeing your channel grow.

Great video!! You definitely deserve more attention.

you can say that games are art

Wait 15 comments on this vid, I really enjoyed how you view games, I really enjoy games that has community generated content, but I don't consider minecraft one of them, Best game that adapted this feature is little big planet aka LBP, it was my childhood, sad its been cancelled years ago, but at least similar game gonna release on steam called restitched, I think u should give opinion on LBP and restitched I swear I would love to hear it.

Kvalite content!

Yeah Braid's okay for a Mario. 9/10 🤭
