    Thank you for sharing your experience. Sounds like it’s like in any other field.

    How do you experience good and bad reviews on your games? How much are you checking, looking at, and maybe hurt by reviews and negative reception? I’ve always wondered about impact of those on devs. Especially when I’m reviewing small indie games and they’re subpar / no recommendation.

      I don’t read reviews, I’m not on social media (except here) and I don’t participate in online discussions about my games. At least that’s the principle I try and live by, I’m only human. And running my own studio meant having to break those rules anyway. Oh well.

      Truthfully, it doesn’t bother me that much, and it gets easier the more it happens. Not everything is for everyone, and either people are respectful in their critique (which you can learn from to hopefully get better next time) or they’re disrespectful (in which case you can pretty much ignore what they’re saying as online trolling).

      Also when you’re at a bigger studio, your contribution to the game is much smaller anyway (1000s of devs), so you feel less personal about the feedback.

      As I’ve gotten more experience, I actually feel like ANY type of feedback is good feedback - it means people are playing your game! There will always be a vocal minority wanting to rage and vent, and you can just take their volume level as an indicator of how well your game has captured your audience’s attention.
