JCL gave one of his "special" answers. I personally like this style of answers, others might find them offending because sometimes they are "furz-trocken" (Can someone translate that?)
Fustrating?
I don't agree with this so much. He's here to represent the product and team and provide support where necessary. I'm less inclined to report bugs and happy for them to sit in the engine and significantly reduce the chances of being mocked in the process. Maybe the forum description for 'Ask the Developers' should be changed from 'If your questions aren't answered elsewhere' to 'Free mocking and ridicule, and that's only if we can bother answering at all'
While different engines on the market are greatly superior to GameStudio [insert reasons here... we all know them] developers should be trying to keep their ever decreasing number of users (a great 310 forum users since the start of 2012) and this isn't the way to go about it.
I'm only loyal to GS to warrant spending the money from A6 thro A8 though on more than a few occassions I've looked at Unity and wondered why I'm still here. Many other members continue to use this forum while developing on different platforms and even JCL chose a different renderer and MP system when developing a game for a client which also puts him in this category. (I digress)
keep in mind that you're and old and experienced member of this community. Hence expectations are very high when you post in the showcase forums.
That's true, I still play 7Castles (thank god for mute though
)
