Developer says his romantic games aren't realistic because he's never been in love
Fans shower forever alone developer with love after honest response to criticism
It was a seemingly standard comment, the sort of thing posted to Steam thousands of times a day. But the response was heartbreaking.
It’s a damning comment for a game that’s essentially an interactive romantic novel -- the plot is everything to Tiny Snow. But the game's developer responded with brutal honesty.
“The romantic plot is not convincing because… I never… got that experience,” Rice wrote.
“However, I’m really good at writing stories about being rejected and being dumped. I will try harder next time,” he added.
Gamers responded by showering the developer with love. People flocked to Tiny Snow's Steam page to leave positive reviews, encouraging the developer not to give up on love. Some even say they purchased the game even though it’s in Chinese -- a language many new buyers don't understand.
