Atom Republic A Coward

I wouldn't worry about it too much. Atom Republic is just another fly-by-night Home content developer with a low standard of quality. I picture their operation as being maybe 1 or 2 people with a Home development kit using their free time to make a few extra dollars. I wouldn't know, but would be willing to guess that anyone with even some computer graphics skills and the development kit could do what they do. Makes me wonder what the requirements actually are for getting a development kit- maybe I'll give it a shot.

 

You want to go halves on the cost of a Home developer kit? I got some computer graphics skills:


I could help with PR and handling the money as well.

 

Well thx Stacey--that's really just a small example of what I can do.


"Tell you what hopper, 5 years ago i would have loved to got the HDK and made my own stuff, but now Homes on the way out and even Dev company's are finding the goings hard with Home, Blame Sony for not talking about Home/PS4."

ok fine then CB...I'll have to go it alone. I've already shown my company logo as a sneak peek of what's to come and it seems people are pretty impressed. Pretty soon I expect I'll be pulling in at least $15-25/month. I don't think I can do all of my item and space renderings in MS Paint though, so it could be awhile until my first release--hopefully before Home shuts down.

 

On topic, I'm not sure how Atom Republic would be able to figure out who could afford a cart and who deserves a free one. That seems a little like simply telling them to start giving away all of their efforts for nothing. I probably would have been annoyed if someone approached me with that tale too.

 

Atom are a company surely regardless of how many staff their are.

I haven't bought a cart & don't go to the park.

You just have to make that choice surely?

Try. Putting, here, or there, or somewhere;

If Atom Republic were to have a free to race option (not free to own/win a cart) we would at least get try before we buy.

In Granzella Southern island hideaway we get to jet ski race. "Jet ski" has to be the least desirable thing in home? For me it is, & I hate dolphins btw, but Granzella don't charge money to be able to race & the race is niceley designed, & I get s.tropical points, & Granzella have earned my respect.

but I don't see the remit that claims that Atom Republic have to care about their fellow man, & that has got to be the most banal argument, unless you agree with me that the world is ruled by commercial fascism, but most people I know accept the world of commercialism, so why complain about that world?

Atom will make money or not make money

I don't get the whinging.

Atom Republic are allowed to make their choices & like it or not, they are allowed to delete your comments on fb (don't use fb if you don't like it)

Social media is suddenly a huge problem, Atom Aren't the only company to employ somebody else to represent them via social media, and I know that I don't bother with people who hide behind somebody else like that & I've chatted with people involved in games/music industry and never had a big problem..... choose your friends wiseley is my best advice & if you don't like Atom then don't follow them or like thier page.

In fact, as soon as I knew Atom was using someone else to represent them on fb, I clicked unlike & haven't been near them since.

We are really very fortunate when we think about the devs in home who work hard and make good quality content and who have listened to our opinions/thoughts and taken them on board.

We really really need to say a huge thank you to those devs, we need to praise devs when they make great things.

Atom are a company, plain and simple, they want your money, nothing else, so either pay them or ignore them?

 

Homes always been the same, make a valid point and your a hater, if you are not butt kissers your opinion don't matter. It's created by a bunch of businesses pretending to be your friends then when it goes wrong they want to be a business again. But we as a community created some of it by celebrating failure. Really only granzella ever stepped up and said our spaces are not good enough take them down and make them better.

Hello all,

If I may, I would like to reply:

Your criticism is taken into account: there will be an upgrade to the public park to let you play the game for free, to try before you buy. But ultimately we are not a charity, but a business: we need an income to fund our development, I'm sure you all understand.

There will also be more challenges and different prizes to be won in the race: we are working on it.

We will also implement other games in the park at a later stage.

I do use the services of a community manager: this is to give me more time to focus on development: as Carla pointed out rightly, I am a one-man band, so managing the social media proved too much of a strain on the development of items and games: I hope you can understand that. I'm still actively involved in the social media, and do some of the posts personally, but for the most part I rely on my community manager, and haven't been disappointed by his good work. I can assure you that his judgement can be trusted, and he wouldn't have banned a user from our Facebook page for no reason.

Thank you for your support,


Tanguy

 

The thing is if atom republic park fails because atom republic get it wrong. Atom republic lose money yes but also home gets another white elephant space. But a kart game was never going to make it a great space anyway so why release it in the first place

Here is an update to clarify the situation:

Illumin-x is not my community manager anymore. I would like to apologise on behalf of Atom Republic if people have been banned from our Facebook group unfairly. This will not happen again.
