So what is good game design for you? Forcing the players to play the game that way you guys want? At that point, maybe you should just delete this game and play it for yourselves, as it only caters to you and the normies of the rom hacking community.
A game having rules and restrictions on how the player can operate within it is not an unreasonable expectation. I don't know what to tell you. If you think a romhack having even a vague gesture in the direction of not allowing you to alter play with an entirely external element like emulator speedup is "bad design", you probably are beyond help. No idea who you're talking about when you refer to "the normies of the romhacking community," but I sure hope you aren't sincerely suggesting you're part of some elite and enlightened core group that really knows their stuff, as you definitely lack the sense to engage intelligently on really much of anything at all. Much less your purported area of expertise, which is Pokemon fangames, where you're hopelessly incapable.
Say why do we have nuzlocke challenges, mono-runs, no exp runs in Pokemon nowadays? Isn't that because people are allowed to play the game they want? I'm a casual when it comes to challenge runs so I play normally like any other people. But imagine if the games forced me to play a nuzlocke against my will. Would I like that? Would anyone like that? Of course I won't and its actually what you guys are doing[...]
If a game forced you to play a nuzlocke as part of how a game is designed to be played, that is well within their right and you should probably not act so entitled to anything different. You seem so desperate to be a champion of game design but are wholly unwilling to respect a creator's vision for what a game is even supposed to be when you are personally inconvenienced, so you're kind of a fraud.
[...] hence there is literally no one significant playing your game right now despite being released for almost 3 days.
I am not a Scale x Fang developer. Additionally, the merits a game has are not decided by how many pointless youtubers you get your opinions from have played it.
Other than my complaints, what does this thread have? Yes, people complaining about why is there no speed-up. Wanna know why? Because they want to play the game the way they want, yet you have the audacity to call me that I want people to bend to my wishes, yet aren't you people the same? You're practically forcing us to play the game in a specific way because like ocean said, maybe I should try to adapt instead of the game adapting to me. Which is borderline wrong, it's like you're telling me to play Need For Speed in all stock cars despite me wanting an upgraded car to finish the game.
Need For Speed does not have deliberate game design decisions in place preventing you from upgrading your cars. Because the developers want you to be able to upgrade your cars. The Scale x Fang developers do not want you to be able to use emulator speedup, and that too is an equally valid design decision.
So is a good game design for you is a game design that employs inconvenience? If so, maybe you should wake up, we aren't in 2012 anymore, its already 2022, and QoL and convenience is a must. So 11 years of experience is invaluable huh, say that to the people who have a job experience of the same year and you will be on the receiving end of the biggest middle finger that you'll get in your life.
You don't even know what "game design" or "quality of life" mean, just like you don't know what the word "invaluable" means.
Assuming you're part of the dev team, I'm absolutely baffled on how you treat your fans who genuinely cares about your game. You guys are the one who is basically forcing us to bow down and play in a way that you guys would be the only one who'd prefer to play it that way. I'm done here.
Enjoy being the ****tiest fakemon hack of all time in the rom hacking community of Pokemon as a whole.
I'm not a part of the dev team, and you aren't a fan who genuinely cares about or would ever care about this game. You're just a baby crying because you can't have things your way and never were anything more. It's extremely evident by the fact that you are defaulting to calling this "the ****tiest fakemon hack of all time in the romhacking community of Pokemon as a whole." Reminder, the only reason you feel this way is because a game asked you not to use emulator speedup and to just play the game like a normal person. You know next to nothing about the game itself, just that it didn't let you use speedup. And you really, really wanna, ok?
