Good post, Brad.
This whole TDC rebellion is idiotic. There's nothing accomplished in this, except maybe an incorrect feeling of rightousness. All that occurs is destruction.
By the way, Jannis used to be a very important member on the Daily Click about three years ago. Back then he was known as Lightbringer.
. i hate klik me not just because its a ripoff, because jannis got circy to post the site on TDC (or vice versa) just to get traffic, i hardly think a rippoff deserves front page.
Well, considering it's not really a ripoff of DC. Unlike DC, only mods can post games/previews/articles, they have different types of forum topics as DC and has a few different features such as interviews and devlogs.
Ok, personally if you hate a game you should tell them how to improve it, instead of insulting it greatly, we have our own opinons of a game such as Mathemew of Fishead3 and Chicken14528 of Fishead. Mathemew's opinon of Fishead3 was probably wrong in a few areas but correct in other areas.
"2. i hate klik me not just because its a ripoff, because jannis got circy to post the site on TDC (or vice versa) just to get traffic, i hardly think a rippoff deserves front page "
Uhh, it isn't a ripoff. Jannis coded it from scratch, and the closest site I have seen to it is the TK, and thats not even that similar. Also, did you ever think that Circy might have made a news post about it because IT WAS A NEW FREAKIN COMMUNITY SITE? Thats kind of big news, you know.
"3. i dont hate everyone who goes to natomic, i hate the recent games. i label them boring and just plain rushed. "
better than anything you have done :| (spiderman LOL)
"4. i too hate fishead (the game not the user)"
Is hating fishead supposed to make it ok now? The reviewer didn't hate the game anyway, 5/10 is an average score, he never said that he hated it. At least it's better than SPIDERMAN.
And the conclusion to all of this is: sum of you dudes are dum
I dont get the "hating" part. I dont hate ANY click game. There are lots of click games that arent fun to play for me (actually I only had fun playing Shima Bros), but that does not give me a reason to "hate" all those games. When I think a game is badly coded, ugly, or just no fun, I shut up about it, or I try yo give some hints.
Anyway, I understand the "fishhead haters", I made a game that was just a hangover of fishhead 2, I didn't realy pay attention to the coding, I havent put any new stuff in it, but the game was a succes on TDC. I think that is pretty frustrating for people who are coding and spriting the shit out of themselves and dont even get attention when they release their game.
About natomic, klik-me and TDC and stuff, I think they all rock, they are all different and good in their own way.
Personally, I agree with Chicken in that Sideswipe wasn't one of Brad's best efforts and I also agree that everyone should be allowed to express themselves freely about games. But, I'm too sure about the guy (Red Crystal) who made the comments about members of Natomic being twats. Not even half of us. It makes me wonder if he's ever spoken to us before. I can't think of a single member who I could warrant as a twat, fool or whatever.
Mainly because the people in Natomic aren't members because they make good games or have good skills at something, but because they share the same ideas as one another, can work well in a group, all get along with no problems and aren't people likely to go destroying the Natomic reputation.
I'm sorry if some of you have found our latest games a bit boring, but I guess that is something we need to address and I hope you find later releases more to your enjoyment. We're not going to stop making games any time soon so hopefully you'll find something that captures the imagination and that you enjoy in the near future.
And yes, I believe I did code most of this Daily Click as it is now - although I know Clubsoft and ShadowCaster have done a lot of work on it recently too. I am the one responsible for not turning the yellow forum box below the reply field blue too

LOL. You've probably never programmed anything in your life that took more than a week, have you?
I was not calling EVERYONE at Natomic 'twats'. And yes, I have been to your forums and looked at the spriting competitions and there are some VERY nice sprites on show by the members and the upcoming games look great. If you see my top 5 anticipated games, Spirit Engine features on it. And I'm not ignorant of talent, if I like a game I'll say, even if it was made by someone I hate.
BUT, about calling Natomic members "twats", I was using the same stereotype as the guy who said all DC'ers are "'tards" and the only reason I did this was because I guessed that this guy was a Natomic member. So I replied with the same iummature generalisation but reversed on Natomic.
Oh... And the video message from Andi is fucking hilarious. (Natomic forum post).
All in all, I have to say, that no matter which klik community site you belong to, just remember that we ALL share the same hobby which is creating games/apps etc. with Klik products. Some people may be gifted, others not so much but remember at the end of the day we are all klik hobbyist's and should be showing each other respect and giving support instead of having pointless arguments, heavy words being so lightly thrown.
Which we don't care about anyway because at the weekend most of us go out and have fun and the name Daily Click doesn't even exist when I'm getting drunk with friends, yet some people seem to have devoted their lifes to klikking and all things klik like a buddha dedicates his life to religion.
Anyway, I'm confusing myself, I've probably confused you, yes you, the guy reading this sentence right now.
It pisses me off that community sites have to have big wars against each other. I visit DC, Natomic, Klik Academy, Klik Me, etc, and I think they are all decent sites. I wish people would stop this bullshit about one site being better than another. There is no need to stereotype people either.
here, here! its a hobby at the end of the day... i'd rather just enjoy myself while im browsing than walk into some big flame war (although they can be quite amusing )
