Whoops

Made a silly thread, feel free to delete.

Your track mountain is the best manual track of all time, had it be complete you'd certainly have a feature

Thanks, man. This was a dumb post. I should try to work on it.

Curious now, what was it about? I won't judge you for it

You know what? I'll put the original post here, just for the sake of discussion.

Spoiler:

I understand how you feel. No comment was good enough when I released Jam. Looking back at it however I realised I was quite mislead.You should read your comments on Mountain, quite some praise there If that's doesn't feel sufficient to you either, you should question whether you have realistic expectations. I've got two thoughts about this:

1. Your idea determines how efficient your effort/praise ratio is. My guess is that that's your bottleneck. With Mountain your idea was to create the most amazing manuals ever and amaze people with it. This definitely worked, but you had to put so much effort to create it that no reaction is good enough to justify the effort you put in. If I were you I'd focus more on the idea you have than the execution of it. You're focused enough to exhibit your ideas with great execution, that's one thing you've shown.

2. You've probably heard this too many times, but it's still true: You shouldn't make tracks for the reactions of other people. I'm not saying others' opinion of you should be no motivation at all (everybody creates tracks for praise to some extent), but one big reason you should play is also because you enjoy the game and expressing your creativity.

If I were you I'd focus more on the idea you have than the execution of it. You've proven to be focused enough to exhibit your ideas with great execution, so no need to impress us that way anymore . I think you'll have more fun with the game if you focus on creating something unique rather than creating something insane. I'm sure you're a creative guy!

I am actually satisfied with the response I got on Mountain (in fact, going back to that thread is what made me remove this post in the first place), I was more upset at having never won anything, which I know is silly. I tried making a big response to the points in your post, but honestly my only issue at this point is that I don't have fun making tracks anymore. I still enjoy watching other peoples though, so I'll at least stick around for that. Your post is still helpful to me though, so thank you.

Well, you used to have fun creating things I assume. What is it you enjoy creating the most?
