people are in the mood to witch-hunt developers

Well thought out and deeply considered, as usual Vectorus. I'm not worried. You have to have a thick skin if you develop software for very long, at least with the bosses I've had, haha.

Why do you suppose they are lusting for developer blood? Do they perceive game developers having it too easy or something? Or are they just soft targets, sentimental and empathetic, who cry easily?

People who stick with the game for more than a few hours will be sympathetic to what it's about

She's no beauty but I can't force them to drink a six pack of beer before they meet her. I can only hope that enough of them stay long enough to be charmed by her winning personality.

Matt and the Toucans you banned are still active

I didn't ban them. I deleted posts from the forum with crudely offensive language, that would have had mom rubbing a bar of soap around inside my mouth. I have never banned anyone, ever, that I did not think was a bot.

But I understand how that doesn't matter. Perception is reality.

Let us hope they don't hold grudges. I don't. I don't even remember their names, tbh.

Your game will be insulted

Here are a couple of my favorites from years past.

• "The graphics are so bad it makes me want to hit puppies."
  
• "The graphics are so bad it makes my eyes bleed."
  

I like to think things have gotten a tiny bit better since then.

This is a requirement of Steam.

Your list is very similar to my list. These things will take more than a month. Luckily, I have at least a month to wait. After that, I can keep it in beta for as long as I like before releasing it to the Steam public.

There isn't any hurry, really. I'm not in a desperate position, just feeling the need to make a change that will increase the number of players.
