who is still left ?

[WoodburyRaider]

I gotta disagree with you here. While I may disagree with the assessment, if there's something you don't like in one of my levels (except Log Roll, which I really ought to unpublish), I want to know about it. I will either defend that thing or I will acknowledge that it was a bad choice. Now if what you have to say is "I don't like levels like this," yeah, keep that sort of thing to yourself. I may make tweaks to a level (though I probably won't) based on feedback, but I won't scrap a level entirely (except Log Roll, the red-headed stepchild of levels) just because it's not your cup of tea.

But my point is that you haven't had this sort of thing done to you because of the lovely feedback being sent back and forth in the threads. I think I made it clear that feedback should be just that, feedback. By that I mean that feedback should be given to the creator for him or her to make changes and improve the level, or if the level truly is amazing, that should be said so. So yeah I agree that feedback such as "I don't like levels like this" should be held back, but I also think that it should be prohibited when a creator isn't asking for small things to be pointed out especially when possible players could be reading it and look away from the level because of it. I'm only saying that I think we should be more careful when posting feedback so as not to take away from (or build up hype for) a level that isn't deserving of said feedback.

When people ask for feedback, they want it! Tell them their levels need work and in what areas they can improve!

I'm afraid the problem is, sometimes they don't want legitimate feedback. I think some creators just want to hear they're great. :/

Of course every creator wants to hear they are great. The problem, as I'm sure you were getting at, is when they can't take criticism. I have adapted a new policy of 2:1 for good levels with two points of good for every point of bad. Opposite for other levels. This isn't set in stone, but I feel that I have been too nitpicky without enough praise given.

Also, it helps to give suggestions for every piece of critical advice you give. Still, there are people that refuse to hear about the bad.

I really think we need to nurture the newer people (ironically, I am a super young creator).

You may be a super young creator, but you win respect points from val for that post

I couldn't Agree More , Everyone Loves Getting Positive Feedback (Except for Woodbury Apparentley) and Everyone Hates Negative but It is always for the Best as This will Obviously help You Improve as your Creator, Working on these Problems allow you to Produce A real Star Of a level and Get you more Noticed, I hope This helped.

Srry To woodbury im not a funny guy

Wow that was a shot. Umm clearly you don't realize what side I'm on of this? I never said I don't like positive feedback. In fact, I'm the one that said we need to stop giving this unwanted negative feedback. Maybe you should reread my earlier posts...

Umm rude much? (to woodbury). Also, maybe everyone hates negative in your mind, but I actually really like it. Sometimes I felt like the PSP side was too nice to me, and I really wanted to hear what they actually thought about my level at the time.

[Fading-Dream]

Even if they do hate negative feedback, it's still the right thing to do. They will have read it, and while they may get upset, there is no way they can completely ignore it. If actual reasons are given (AKA, not enough interactivity. 'Try to add more switches'), there is no way they can just create the way they were before. At least I'd like to believe that, and I have to if I can have any hope of the PSP not dying out.

[JetArtois]

I'm lost in this topic now. All I know is if you want feedback then you have to accept what people say. I had some great feedback and advice for my Going For A Wander level and tryed to change it due to the feedback as it all helped. Ok there's still some issues but I'm happy with the level now and will be leaving it as it is (thermo full and sick of crashes).

[The-Questor]

Hey, I'm a bit late to the party but I'm still here.

My creating has been put on hold due to festering laziness to pull out my PSP, but...Yeah, I'm still here.

[aceofthorns]

Hey im still here I've just been extremely inactive do to serious school problems thats all, its kinda sad that the psp side is now dying though.

Actually, not really anymore. Yeah people are leaving but plenty of us are still creating. There's a good amount of new creators peeking around the site on the PSP side and I think they have a great base to start from with all of the helpful tips and tricks in the tutorials out there. I think that every new creator just needs to know that their first level won't be their best and that they have to keep at it in order to improve at creating. I'm pretty sure we're all here for the most part (with the exception of a few who have left for various reasons such as animals eating UMD's, a common occurrence.) I'm finding create mode interesting again, it's just that I don't have as much time as I used to and have found other things to satisfy my time. I'm sure others will find the desire to come back to their PSP at some point for one reason or another, some will just stick around longer than others and some not at all.

[aceofthorns]

Well im glad to see that I was wrong about the psp side dying, hopefully it will survive the the NGP's release.
Cross your fingers

On the topic of negative feedback, none of you guys lied to me about my levels being good right? Right...

*extreme paranoia*

[BlackWolfe]

I have yet to play any of yours, mainly because the search function seems to search titles only, and not creators. Going to go download 'em all now and get back to you in the appropriate threads. Any preference on which level I should try first?
