Let's send stoot and all the devs some love.

The man is clearly working too hard, to judge from this particular comment in a different forum thread:

And for the record, as someone who has put his life into this for the last two years, the overarching emotion I get when I show someone Glitch for the first time is a deep shame (for all the things we have not yet done or all the things we have so far done poorly). But, however long it takes, the game will suck much less in the future (we will be actively developing it many years after beta is over).Posted 16 hr ago by stoot barfield [staff] | Permalink


So I opened a thread to basically tell the devs how rocking we think this game is, even though we know there are improvements being made and things we want that we don't have yet. I made my reply over in that thread so will keep this very brief: THIS. GAME. KICKS. BUTT. Thank you.

  • Yup it is a damn fine game and everyone who is working on it should be proud of how much they've accomplished.

  • Whoo! Yes RM, thank you very much for creating this thread!!! Its definitely needed. I Think after 2 years of creating this game, its Amazing, If the game was live this minute, and nothing was ever changed I would be completely and utterly happy :D I would still play every single day, well, as much as i could possibly play anyways... I dont think the Dev's realize what an amazing game they are actually creating,-- From Trying to get badges, to twiddling out thumbs in chat, This game is Purrrrrfect :D And as long as they dont just quit like FS did, i will Truly love them forever <3

  • Glitch rules, Stoot rocks, the devs are fabulous.

    Sure its a WIP, but you've achieved so much! Maybe you'll be adding and tweaking for years to come, but you have reason to be proud!

    Sounds like you've been spending too much time in that Chicken Suit and its affected your thinking!

  • (from the other thread)
    I really hope Stoot knows just what an amazing place he and his team has gifted us, and I for one am ashamed and heartbroken he doesnt realise just how much we all love him for his amazing gift.
    I know there's a lot of love here for this amazing team, nows the time to show it.

  • Hugs all around.

    (Though I think it is possible to overinterpret Stoot's remark. I am certain he is proud of what he's doing even as he can see what is not yet done.)

  • Okay, just in case it gets bumped down, here was my post:
    Stoot...I love you but you have clearly lost your mind about how this game is seen by newcomers :D. Rachel2635 said it perfectly. There isn't any other game out there anything like this one. Anywhere. I can see where you might feel as if there is loads of work to be done in the future because sure there's expansion and tweaking aplenty to be done, but heavens, man, look at the incredible start you guys have made! I begged my husband to try this game out after I became addicted within minutes of the first test I was involved in. He didn't think he'd go for it (he's big into individual games like Civilization) but said he'd give it a try. Ohohoho, now we argue about who better go be a parent for a while so the other one can have playtime! (Erm, my solution is that I just don't sleep much, which means I can get my fix while they're both asleep, hehe.) 

    I definitely think we need to send stoot to the Glitchodone Clinic...he needs to see all the people in there smoking the nutmeg hookah and wearing sparkly boots and trying to crawl into the game by threatening the chickens. Besides, perhaps stoot's presence in the Clinic would be something of a tonic to the poor lost souls in there ;) 

    And to all devs...we love you, we love your game, keep the awesome stuff a-rolling:)

  • Well, clare, sure, possibly, lol. But I think getting some serious praise for a pet project is also nice, even as is feedback on making it better:D Guess I'm just feeling extra chipper today!

  • This is the best game EVER!!!,i'm sorry but i'm gonna say it,even better than FS for me,even in it's beta stages,it's vast already and my mind boggles at what you have planned for the future.So thank you !!

  • How do you thank people you have never meet, who have given you a new gaming home and community to belong to. How do you thank people who have spent years working to provide something that is so much fun. ( even in alpha with all the bugs) To me, helping to test is part of the fun... a way to give back to people who are working so hard to brings us something so special and unique. How can we let you know how much we appreciate what you are doing and will continue to do for us, the players, so our gaming experience is the best. How can we express how special and unique it is to see the devs active in the daily playing of the game and the forums.... always there, ready to help us in our time of need, or answer our questions. I was spoiled by the team from FS and thought I would never find another place like it. But, I have. And that says alot about the team who is developing this game. It seems such a little thing to say, but THANK YOU... for such a wonderful game. I love it.

  • I would also like to thank all of the developers of Glitch. This is a spectacular game! I am really loving the game, the community and the deep caring that has/is going into all aspects of the development!

  • OH good !  Thanks for starting this thread RM!!!!

    I LOVE (insert giant heart) this game and everything Stoot and the Dev's have created.  This is truly unique and soooo addicting.  Thank you for all of your hard work and long hours... yes ...we stalk you... we know you are working all hours all days.  :)

    Huzza to Gitch!

  • My post from yesterday's thread:
    "Oh Stoot! If only you could, just for a moment, show someone Glitch for the first time through their eyes! You would be dazzled and amazed! You would find yourself chuckling and gobbling spinach and losing yourself for hours on end. You and your team should feel very proud about the amount of joy and entertainment you are providing people from all over the world." Posted 16 hr ago by Rachel2635

    Sorry, but my teddy bear and moon are locked away for now. Otherwise I would be smooching and hugging and mooning stoot and the hardworking and dedicated Tiny Speck staff. Ya'll rock. Wish I could share my orb with you too. LOL

  • Love Glitch:) Can hardly wait until I can devote all my free time to playing( hope my family doesn't see this) AWESOME GAME!!! The best developers and support staff too!!!!!
    Posted 20 months ago by Pepopsmama Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Whoa! Whoa! Stop, please! (Or, at least stop with the feeling heartbroken or worried or otherwise upset about what I said.) I guess I should have made myself clearer in the other thread: I have plenty of pride for what we've accomplished so far and I too think Glitch is awesome, and I am not down on it!

    I just have inside knowledge of how much more we want to get done — and when we thought we'd get it done ;) — so I have a clear idea of how much better it *should* be. No matter how good it is, the difference between *what it is* and *what it should be* is will provoke some anxiety and, yes, shame. But, I am happy guy and I think things are going very well nonetheless :)

    ALSO! While it is nice to have my ego stroked, I am just the most-visible person on a team full of exceptional and hard-working people: beta.glitch.com/about/ — almost all of the work is done by someone other than me. (And, you are right to love them.)

  • To stoot and the other devs, staff and those that have poured their creativity and time into this game:::::

    J~O~B WELL DONE!!!!

    The first test I was let into, I didn't particularly 'get into' all that much...even to the point of telling fadingfast that I wasn't sure this game was for me...well, gave it another shot this last go 'round, and needless to say, I am hooked!!  The turning point for me was actually learning and using the keyboard instead of the mouse - made the game work for me.  Ha, so much so that at the end of this last test, I spent several minutes checking the leaderboards to see where I ranked and comparing with fade (who, btw outranks me in most - but, she's also 3 levels ahead - that's okay, I'll catch up...lol).

    I think everyone at TinySpeck has done a wonderful job, and I appreciate them very much!!

    ...oh, one of the things I enjoyed most about FS was the fact that both DD's and I played - in the same room - you should have heard some of our conversations - well...you should now hear the glitchisms from all of us...
    .
    throw up some mushrooms for me. (just think about that one)
    why can't I milk this butterfly? 
    whatdaya mean examine a piggy plop?
    what the hell is a piggy plop? 
    oooohh...my quest is to drink 12 beers!

    I'm sure you guys get the picture...this is a great game stoot...THANKS for sharing it!

  • LOL, you have to be careful around this group of ladies that came from a very strong and supporting community before we came here... We'll smother all of you with hugs and thanks till you dig a tunnel and escape. It's just the type of community we built before coming here Stoot. And one thing we learned.. we need to say thanks for all the hard work the whole team puts into making such a wonderful game. A new home and community for many of us to belong to again.

  •  Visionary is how I describe Stoot, Glitch and all of Tiny Speck.  I want to be around to see how Glitch evolves as the potential seems endless at this point.  The creativity of this team is truly amazing!

    +1 RM for opening.  It's easy to " wax poetic " over such a wonder.

  • This game is amazing. I fell in love with the irreverent sense of humor in Glitch my first test. It has felt like home ever since. stoot and all the devs definitely need some Glitchadone and a few puffs on the nutmeg hookah to help them relax after an amazing beta launch. I hope you all know you are welcome to come to the clinic anytime. Beware the pole dancing bovines!

  • Didn't mean to make you guys (esp. stoot) uncomfortable but soymocha is right: Some of us came from a very supportive place. And heck yeah, I think ALL of you devs rock! You just happened to be the one making that comment ;) See what you get from a bunch of people who are nurturers! Bwahahahaha, watch yourselves!

  • Tiny Speck team, you're so appreciated! I'm so proud to be an Alpha tester (since January) and be able to see the game as it grows. I know that the originally Alpha testers are doubly proud to have seen this game go from what I've seen in some pictures to what it is now!
    I'll be here for a long time to come, lord willing!

  • To stoot and everyone else involved in this MASSIVELY awesome project: When tackling something this ambitious, it always takes longer than predicted, so don't be ashamed at anything--you're just normal! Supernormal, really, because most people would not be able to accomplish the things that have been done so far--I'm impressed!

  • OOo i also have to add one more point! I also would like to thank tiny Spec for making this game Easy to get an invite for if you realllllly want one-- i seen a few complaining on the Glitch's Fb page saying they couldnt get in, But i think they were on the no-no powder (baha.. sorry hadda add that one)--- Though it was simple-- if you pay enough attention you get a queue jump--- any other game ive signed up for its pretty much a waiting game!! And this game popped up just in time for us FS'ers, which made it very helpful for us.. Thank you tiny spec.. I love you guys! :D

  • I love this Game and view it as a wonderful Gift - Many Thanks to all involved!

    Stoot, please don't feel as though anything is wrong or lacking.  Those of us with any sense or knowledge know that the game will always be "under construction".  There is no such thing as "Perfect".  It is through problem solving that we learn and through learning that we feel enjoyment and satisfaction.  We who are playing the Game now and those who have been playing since Alpha began can only hope that we are, in a small way, contibuting to the game development.  When we find a "Bug" or point out a problem, it is in hope that it will only help you to make this Game the best it can be.  I see no failure here and nothing to be ashamed of but everything to enjoy.  I so appreciate the opportunity to be here and I know that most, if not all, of the players feel the same way.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

  • Huge hugs to everyone at Tiny Speck!

    I got in at the very end of Alpha and was here for the first Beta.  I was absolutely amazed at this game!  One thing I noticed and was very happy about is that when you push new content it actually works!


    Artists ( and all of you have to be artistic in some way ) are always very critical of their product.  Tiny Speck should be VERY proud of what you have all produced so far.  Sure, you may have wanted more but what we have is incredible.  There is plenty of time to roll out more content.


    This is only the second MMOG I've ever played.  It is already so incredible that it will probably be my last!  (and I mean that in the best possible way)


    TINY SPECK ROCKS!!

  • This is an amazing game and all the Devs have done an awesome job. The amount of growth and developement I've seen since my first time playing, until now, is staggering. I have falling so in love with the game that everything now revolves around it when it's open. It's been amazing to be a part of such a great project, even if it's only as a tester and player. You guys are doing a fabulous job and it really shows. :-)

  • beta.glitch.com/about/ you really are amazing people, and whilst we know we are here to test to destruction and report, report report, this thread shows this is not the only reason we are here, for here we have a chance to show that there's something else that matters to us and that is you guys, all of you, and Stoot I know maybe you feel you are luved on to excess but heck man accept it and share it with your fantastic team, know you all deserve it and its our pleasure to tell you all you do.

  • Plenty of love to go around! I know kevbob, Myles! and jdawg have personally come to my rescue at various times, and I know how hard it is to feel like the project is "not quite done yet" because I'm a perfectionist, and I can always find ways of making things better. But, that said, I love this game, and am very, very grateful to the entire dev team (and Mr. Burka, who has moved on) for creating such a wonderful, joyous place to play.

  • Coming from a game with a strong community and hands on devs who became our friends. I never in my wildest dreams thought anything could replace that special place. Glitch has accomplished this on so many levels and, much more. I can't thank you all enough for bringing this special place into my life and letting me be part of it's growth. You all should be very proud of what you have achieved already. You Guys Rock Da House...onwards and upwards.

    The Glitchodone Clinic is pretty full up too.
    I've turned down beta invites from several other games due to enjoying testing and playing this one so much! It's an extremely awesome game!!
    We luvs ya Stoot and Devs (((HUGS))) and we dearly love this game!!
