Nice, seemed a bit random as to how good each post is and also some the the text is overlapping. But I liked the use of popup windows - the error message got me the first time as well(I think its meant to be there)

Very nice.

The post names were great. I didn't feel any sense of accomplishment from getting more viewers. I really like the style

Haha loved the interpretation of the theme! And I loved how you used the game mechanics themselves to make a commentary on online journalism techniques. You had look and feel down. My nostalgia centers activated playing on those outdated browsers. Great job!

The error message is an "unknown software exception" and has happened every time I've played the game. Doesn't seem to cause the game to break so I'm calling it a feature :)

Really intresting game :D lagging a bit tough when i spam update blog posts.

cool

Really good concept, and a lot of humor. I had a difficult time really zeroing in on what the post makeup was actually doing to my reader base. Specifically, it didn't seem like anything I put together for the post actually had a specific effect other than that people liked length more than anything, and if I made any of the three too small, it would negatively affect me. I think that a good addition would be to have comments from the user to give you hints why they did or didn't like the post.

It was a pretty fun game, but there was no real strategy to getting more subscribers. Comic Sans and Win95 was a nice touch :P

Though I can see where it was going, I couldn't see how this blog made me amonster, unless I just didn't become evil enough. :P The gameplay is interesting, and the graphics looking like they are is pretty cool. Overall, a nice entry.

Quite an innovative entry. the style is good.

A great concept! Makes me really miss Windows 95!! A much better nostalgia trip than all of these ski free clones ;)

Game basically froze after I pressed "New Post" one too many times. Oops. I really like what you were trying to do, god knows I hate BuzzFeed and its ilk as much as the next person, but the game's glacial pace really turned me off it I'm afraid.

Doesn't work for me, begin button not responding

Windows 10 - 64 bit, 1,8 GHz, 4GB RAM
Also labels are messed up, when I launch it - everything overrides each over

Very nice project guys, i really love it, please check our game too and if you liked it give us a vote. Look for Road to hell and enjoy.

While the game is absolutely spot-on in being mundane, it's also too good at it. I had a hard time seeing the point of making posts at regular intervals. Perhaps this game works with more patience, but I personally have enough to continue for long.

taro 2015-09-06 00:25

My last comment wasn't as constructive as I'd like, so hopefully this one provides more details.

I felt that the resources devoted to length and quality were ineffective, making the differences hard to tell. As such, it was difficult to tell if I was making any progress, because I would remain within the same view count for a long stretch of time, until randomly I get a huge jump. Again, I do see this as an accurate depiction of posting to a blog, but at the same time, have very little patience to continue. Perhaps I'm not built for this kind of job :P.
