Then stop trying to wiggle around. Your dad seems to have enough money to support you, you are damaging your image with this. Take some responsibility, remove the monetization system, keep working on your vision and you will earn respect, money will follow down the road.

Nope, not good enough, remove it and put a donation system instead.

If you are genuine, remove monetization from your game and implement a donation system.

I played your game, i really liked the age of browser games and played my fare share. I didn’t feel any passion or soul in your game, it is barely an alpha-state sandbox with a shady monetization scheme. Are you really 14-year old? If so then great stuff for learning how to code and for the love of god put some love in your creation and don’t try to rip people off.

If you really are minor running this you should remove any monetisation asap before getting into legal trouble. If you truely enjoy coding and creating games continue what you do and check with an adult what the legal framework would be to implement a “donation” function. If you are good at it and make players want to see more of your work you will get support for your vison, not by putting slop on the table and grabbing for cash. If all those ifs are positive, you have my sincere apologies for the bluntness and all my support for your future.

Under the ToS of his own game he wouldn’t be able to create an acount as a minor, either lying through his teeth or naive and malicious…

If you wanted to make a game for the sake of people enjoying it i wouldn’t be so harsh. You are selling in-game benefits and even promising “cash-prizes” for leaderboard players, this is no hobby project of a 14-year old, either you are naive or malicious.

Polished? More like vibecoded, pay to win slop…

Not polished, vibe-coded, pay to win…

Don’t mind me, just setting up my red flag shop here

Karch also stated that he didn’t know who Sacco was until he consulted an AI chatbot, but nevertheless claimed that she was replaced by “someone more talented” and that he would retrospectively be “happy to replace her with AI” because AI is “programmed to be honest.”

Here’s Karch’s full statement:

"Stella who? I had to ask Claude because I have never spoken to her or seen her. We have already said we are using AI for certain parts of the game and will update the Steam page once we have finalized the feature set.

Tbh that sounds totally like a rant by someone caught in the act…

Condemning in itself i’d say…

I’d guess it is about “non-western platforms”

Why the down-votes? Poppy seed tart is a well known desert in germanophone countries, they can’t be believing that banning poppy seeds will help in any way to fight crime or addiction?

Thank you and yikes, instead of boosting funding into their lifeline, they resort to cut corners improve efficiency by sorting calls with AI. Seems a tad unethical, to do this in a field where every second counts and the consequences mean life or death… But hey, i guess more taxes for the rich is socialism and you can’t have that, slippery slope towards communism. /s

Geoblocked article, please someone tell me this is just ragebait and not real?!

Wait until they learn about poppy seed tarts 🫣

No-brainer
