Ooohhh, life is COMPLICATED!!
I agree with both Arnulf AND PapaSmurf. It's a balancing act to figure out just how much to criticize Chaotic's work. I certainly appreciate the fact that he has made this free game for all our enjoyment and I'd like to encourage him to do more along those lines, but I'd also like to encourage him to take a little more care in editing his games before release.
I've never met Chaotic, so I don't know how much criticism he can handle before he just says "to hell with you all - you don't appreciate my work so I won't release it at all". I trust (hope) that Arnulf knows him better.
In an ideal world, I'd like to see Chaotic publish lots more games, all perfectly edited and working properly. Taking one step closer to the real world, however, I think I'd rather see him release his games with a few bugs rather than not release them at all. That will give the lagoon community an opportunity to help with feedback and/or patches.
After all, if the game was a stupid waste of time, nobody would bother complaining about it or writing patch files.
Thanks, Chaotic!
