if all you're gonna say to describe a screenshot is "nice atmosphere," dig a little deeper into your well of feedback and criticism

If I got something out of it, I would post feedback.
The joy of helping a fellow game developer! Also you get points for reviews..!

That said, it is nice for devs to get some feedback on their images or even gamepage. So let's resolve to give a bit of column A and B - point out the positives but also give some feedback to help each other grow! X3

Not everything needs to be deep feedback. A nice comment can make a developers day. They don't always need some long written review about every pixel. Someone doesn't always have time to write that stuff either. Just take a compliment, sheesh.

This site lives on pointless comments. If there were no pointless comments the site would be bare.
CrazeCap_Huseless comments are useless to a developer. it's pointless to say "nice atmosphere" just because somebody tinted the screen grey. to other responders: a lack of comments on rmn is a problem too, but it's not the same problem
I think everyone likes positive comments.
Y-yeah, but it's a progressive thing. It's the kind of thing where you can't effectively solve the one problem until you've dealt with the first. Because it's one thing to leave pointless comments, but nobody's going to leave meaningful comments if nobody's commenting.

They're useless as criticism; they're not useless to indie devs making little games who might appreciate a morale boost & a little reassurance that someone enjoyed their game! Not everyone on this site is a dev :P It seems fine if someone wants to voice a quick thought without going Ebert on it, y'know?

"Looks good" doubles as positive reinforcement and a free gamepage bump. I have no problem with that.
Maybe my standards are too low.

I know from commenting on a few images people have put up, I feel that I'm under-qualified to make remarks on how a map looks, or how an image looks, because I'm not privy to all the things concerning game make.
Because I've been known in the past to be hyper critical, and I'm never quite sure if that's what people want is someone to look at the image and find a flaw in it and point it out, or if the image is basically the 'finished' image.
>_> Pretty sure I overthink my posts and then simplify it at the end. lol

I think a lot of us would be happy to receive even a single "looks good".
Your game looks good. I was playing it yesterday night under candlelight.

I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

Nice post
If a shot has great atmosphere, I'm gonna say it has great atmosphere. That said, I do understand where you're coming from - pointing out what you like about the atmosphere or if anything is jarring to it is a lot more helpful to you as a developer, but sometimes people don't understand -what- they like in the image or -why-, just that they do. And that's usually why they put the one-liner.

I just want my 18th review
Do you really? I mean, I have only finished the first chapter of Hero's Realm so far, but I could try...
