I love thy hate.

Strange title isn´t it? Ok well let me explain this: As you may know, the guys at IndieGames.com posted some news about Retro Arcade Adventure a few days ago(Thank you so much!) and I can´t thank them enough for that. It was a nice written newsentry and I was really flattered. In fact it was the very first bit of text that was written about one of my games ever. 
Now for the interesting part, the comments. At the moment Iam writing this blogentry, the news got about 14 comments, not counting the four bots or the one positive and one offtopic comment that is about seven comments full of criticism(a few really fair one though). The part that was criticised the most was the visuals of the game. As you know, it is not really 8bit but it was inspired by 8bit. Some people seem to really hate this fact(e.g. "looks like total shit"). So after my game was branded as total shit with 15 bits graphics, 1 bit gameplay and poor fakebit aesthetics I really have to say... thank you! Thank you very, very much! : )
It never happened up to this point that a game of mine got so much attention and brought people´s minds to post so much creative comments. Sure it was a lot of criticism but the attention that the game got in the last few days is outstanding(the trailer had about 54 views at the end of day one and now it has 2.300!). I am so happy right now that people actually started talking about Retro Arcade Adventure and hopefully will continue to do so.
With personal respect: Thanks to the seven critics.
Oh and  people still talk about it. Just check out this awesome news by DIY Gamer:

Thanks to the guys and gals behind DIY Gamer too, you are great.
  
In conclusion: Things are starting to roll and I hope this was the real launch for SIACTRO.
