Caltrops - Wall Street Kid





	[quote name="ASS KICKING BOWL SMOKER"][quote]Creator Star Command 2 days ago On a wholly personal note from Justin: I have put two years of my life into this game - and have been trying to make it the best game possible. You guys kick ass for supporting me. The game is playing badass- I'm not joking- I hope it will have a great reception. It sucks to be trying so hard all day on such a big task - day and night, losing sleep, taking on a TON of personal debt. But you guys all have jobs and know how hard it gets - but we keep on keeping on - and after a beer or a bowl - you feel a little better, you et back to work and you keep on join. I have had a relationship go down the shitter in no small part due to this, I have had to put my advertising career on hold, and I have made NO money, nor had ANY insurance for two years. But that's my life - I can deal. Because all of this extreme effort is all in the hopes of making a game that me and my brother Jordan always knew should be made. It is Star Command and you guys backed it. What I don't think these schmucks who take time out of their day (how do they have so much extra time?!) that are so hate-filled, or stand-offish, or just utterly 'assholish' - what they don't understand is that I am also just another person trying to do as good a job as I can. I am not running around burning your guys money - lol - i live in a tiny apartment, I live off of cereal (who doesn't) and I have taken on a ton of personal debt for this game. But rest assured - we are not idiots - I just don't have time to always be keeping up with the ridiculous amount of conversation going on about our game - but 99% of you know this or just don't really give a shit. I respect that. I do not do PR - I don't have the knack for it (read this post lol).I like to make pixel art and balance the game - and these guys have the audacity to accuse us of stealing money, or wasting your money - when it is just complete bullshit. It seriously just is not true and if I could meet them face to face I would punch them - I literally would beat them up - because moderate physical violence can prove a point, and makeup for an insult- but more importantly it sends home the idea that I have put my sweat and tears into this game - and 99% of our backers are simply awesome - but that 1% can seriously ruin your day- they are the suck. We all know those people - the people that are the suck. They take out energy, or they can't hang with the party, or they give up too easy, or they just whine about everything. The bottom line is they don't often get to me - but sometimes they do - ce la vie- I have a thick skin. The game is going awesome guys - your $25 or your $5 or even you $100 is going into MAKING A GAME. A BADASS GAME. Seriously - this game literally would not exist without you. I'd probably be a lot less-stressed, but I still believe in the game - so fuck those nay-sayers - they can go do whatever it is they do - hating on projects - or whatever - because while we all agree the game is taking too long… but it is still coming out. I am still working my ASS off on this game. And it is coming out - and it is taking WAAAAAY longer than any of us thought - but guess what? That is what art is - it is ups and downs- and I am NOT - ABSOLUTELY NOT - a professional at this - I have never, ever, ever made a game before. Anywhoo - sorry to harp - but as in life- ignore the nay-sayers and focus on the positives- This game is gonna rock everyone - and I am very, very, proud of what we have accomplished with your guys support and money and comments and emails and tweets and Facebook posts. When you finally do download the game, and open it for the first time and scroll down the credits and see your name in it- PLEASE - take that moment to basque in the understanding you made it happen - your name is on that list because you kick ass - and you supported something that doesn't suck. And you didn't lose faith literally the moments before it was done - you kept on strong. Thanks to you guys - you are fucking awesome. You are.
