[SYSTEM INITIALIZED SUCCESSFULLY]
cd A:\Manifesto1.TXTIt’s me, AthlonX64. I try to create philosophical mods, but sadly, the public on MODDB and YouTube is indifferent to my work. I founded eleXir to replace Kulture,
hoping to refresh the remake of The Parable of Desert and gather people around it.
But I was deeply mistaken - my games and my creativity don’t seem to matter to anyone.
And yes, those “47 FOLOWAS!! FANS!!” mean nothing.
At most, I have one or two fans, and even they seem indifferent. If only… there were more. If only there was an audience. Instead, I remain an underground developer, making games for myself - because, as I said, there are no fans.
Three months of silence already killed the game. And then came the ridiculous Viggle AI remake that "consumed" my video Nestor Freestyle. I wanted that video to be seen only by fans on MODDB. But in the end, it got 300 views and around 49 likes across two Viggle AI vids. After that, I tried to promote the game, and that attempt killed my new channel AthlonX64. So it goes… The desert is dead, but Archea still lives.
Truth
You may think I don’t care about comments. But the truth is, the whole point of these articles on MODDB is to hear from fans. And there are none. Everyone has either left, or disappeared, or turned to other projects. It hurts, because the game matters only to me. I do everything to show it’s improving, yet the “audience” remains indifferent. What makes me different from others? I honestly don’t know.
But don’t get me wrong: I don’t want to be too popular. 10 real, active fans would already be enough. Because besides the game itself, there is also the ARG tied to it. But once again, nobody cares. That’s the curse of philosophical mods: they only become popular after their time has passed. Maybe a year later, when I move on to another engine, people will notice it. But I don’t want that.
A year has already gone by (the original DS came out on September 2, 2024), and still, nothing but silence. And here’s the paradox: not only are there no fans, but I’m working on this project completely alone. No one wants to join. I’ve written on discord servers, even reached out to a friend, but… nothing. No one cares.
It hurts to realize this, but strangely, it also motivates me. For the past four weeks, I’ve lived almost entirely inside this game. I create it for myself, because in the end, no one else will.
I hope you found something in my little story - my tiny manifesto. At last, I’ve spoken out publicly!
to be continued...
(Break the silence by saying something. Any support means a lot to me.)
