Fuze Player reviews!

How the heck can someone say Fuzeotron is s***. That's the most ridiculous and ignorant statement I've heard since - I don't know when. All the games demonstrate the versatility and possibilities that Fuze4 has to offer and if the examples don't encourage the user to download the full version then all I can say is that they are missing out big time.
On a side note, I would like to have seen Spaceship Interior, Sound FX Generator, Invader, Where's Colin (A masterpiece!) and 3D Visual Demo included. Any chance?
I've got a few ideas floating about brain wise but lack the time at the mo. Simple Spreadsheet, Database, Scientific Calculator, Moon's Phases, Home Finances.
I realize that these suggestions are not graphically based but they would allow Fuze4 to reach out to a wider audience. Just a thought.
A Scientific Calculator would be a doddle and would turn the Switch into something useful !! Sorry, didn't really mean that.
If a move towards utility type programs were tried I believe this would help push sales. To a non programmer a look at one of the example's code and it's length could scare the pants off a beginner. My brain certainly bursts with a quick read of some of the example code and I've been programming since the PDP-8 days (1970). Maybe a collection of short code segments could be included. Just brain storming. Fuze4's sales pitch should be to encourage not to discourage and 2869 lines of Fuzeotron code doesn't make for easy reading. A mere mortal might be impressed with the end result but how that was achieved would pass him/her by.
A few simple tools would enable one to build a house, but first you need to watch how bricks are laid first of all.
The future for Fuze4 looks great. -
Brilliant - this is exactly what it's all about. We will never please all the people all the time, that is written in law. I think in the case of FUZEOTRON however they've not understood the controls or something.. I mean what's not to like!!
Actually though, on a totally personal level - I am so incredibly proud of what we have all achieved here. From teamFUZE to everyone involved in the community and especially those with Showcase Gallery submissions. Folks, you have just had your games published on the world's best selling console - this cannot be denied! I mean, you are even getting review comments to prove it.. Many of you were not, and perhaps even are still not, advanced coders, and yet you've achieved something only a tiny percentage of the population will ever do.
So, what are you going to do next?

No such thing as bad publicity 😎

Watch a film and drink far too much wine. Although I'm guessing that might not be quite what you meant ;)

What am I going to do next?
Well I'm working on a new Fuze game (space game) also I'm being a total pig and eating a custard filled doughnut ..oh and I'm playing a little Cyberpunk 2077 and Wizard of Wor which i'm still crazy about!So.. what's Jon doing next?

What @Jonboy says here cannot be over-stated. He will know, because I told him as much that "Writing a game" has been one of my bucket list items since getting a ZX81 back at the age of 12. I hadn't considered it being a published game. Despite it not being listed, I was pleasantly surprised to see that one of my games was actually in the Showcase for the player, and therefore like he says, not only does that strike that off my bucket list, but it was published on the Nintendo Switch to boot. Woohoo!
What most people won't know is that despite being a member of Team Fuze (a somewhat quiet one of late), and despite making my living as a programmer for over 30 years now, I'd never successfully written a game. And the beauty of it is that it's an ongoing thing - so people can still get their games into the player for the world to see at any time!!

Happy New Year Folks....
My New Year's resolution is to convince the FUZE community to write...
A Pinball simulator
A 3D Racer
Finish my own 2D Racer
More puzzle games (I mean no Sudoku, Mahjong pair games, no Othello... come on guys!)
Definitely more platform games
More arcade classics
Where on Earth is Thrust / Gravitar
Where's Mr Do, Bombjack and Tempest FK
And for goodness sake folks... No Gauntlet!!!!!Let alone 2D Shootem ups - Gradius, Salamander, R-Type and Axelay!!
I shan't speak of New Zealand Story, Wardener, Shinobi, Varth and Crazy Balloon.
And nothing of Galaxian, Moon Cresta or Galaga or Astro Blaster for that matter...
And since FUZE Quest was so rudely removed is no one going to take its place - or what about Dungeon Master or hey... Populous.
Did I say Arkanoid (actually I was thinking about a Ponganoid - just in case anyone needed inspiration)..
How about 3D Berzerk (so easy) or Defender.
Oh, and Pool!
Ok, that will do for January.
love to all.
Jonnyboy.

uhhhh Jon has given me a dozen ideas.
-
He didn’t mention Bubble Bobble.
-
-
That's what i'm talking about - but what about horizontal two player... i.e... Ponganoid... come on, you know there's a game there...
-
They don't like some games, but did they look at the code ?
Here we have diversity, creativity. We don't want to play always the same game (FPS or metroidvania clones).
Happy new year to Fuze community. -
Happy New Year everyone. Loving these supportive and exciting comments.
I refrained from commenting here for a while, since if I'm being genuinely honest, that comment from YouTube upset me probably more than it should. It's very hard not to let a rubbish opinion like that get to you, expressed with absolutely zero awareness of the hard work, time, love and determination that go into each project. It comes across to me as an entitled, self obsessed outlook that everything is in the world to entertain them. Something leads me to believe they probably wouldn't have the determination, passion or courage to create a game of their own and share it with others. I had to fight the urge to jump on and be a keyboard warrior. But, it really is not something to even pay attention to. Any opinion expressed without thoughtfulness should be dismissed without it too.
The jury is already out on how "good" the games are. Fuzeotron is the business. This community makes that obvious. The support we provide to each other, the motivation this creates to create, learn and express ourselves - this is the important thing. Our community seems to be among the best out there for this.
Anyway, let's have a great year. There are some cool things coming, folks. :)

I did a pixel perfect Arkanoid clone about a month or two back but it wasn't in Fuze so I won't post it here :D

Martin, you can't say that and then just drop it. screenshot at least!

You've seen it !

You've seen it !
I have now, thanks ;)
Also thanks to Jon for sidetracking me. I was working on a new game but his list of games inspired me and now I'm working on two games.

Ok I'll admit my showcase submission, Galactic Bolts, was a bit underwhelming and seems kind of buggy and the fact it was not worth mentioning on his video kinda bummed me out, but I won't let a review discourage me from creating more games on this platform. In fact if anything this tells me that I need to work harder and create something that will bring this Fuze player to the top! never let a bad review get you down and never give up!
