Asian Philippines packs discussion

[autumn snow]

How was this approved lol

[tough bolt]

i do not like this

[autumn snow]

Sucks

[kind rover]

these feel low effort

[rugged rover]

If this is their first plugin then maybe I'll let it pass. Let's hope their next plugin is an improvement.

Don’t be too harsh on him, if you don’t like it just don’t download it to your game. I’d rather have someone at least try and be creative

[lethal bolt]

do you see a lot of creativity in the pixel box?

[kind storm]

It’s an attempt, I genuinely think everyone’s plugin should get approved regardless of quality. The good ones will shine and the others won’t. You get to choose which ones to download, nobody is forcing this down your throat

[lethal bolt]

That's the point. That plugins with good quality graphics are often not approved and sometimes give funny reasons why it was not approved for the hundredth time, but sorry, the pixel cube was accepted without problems

[kind storm]

That’s very unfair, I see plenty of great made plugins fail to pass for bs reasons. Like I said before absolutely every functional plugin should be approved whether it be the Sistine Chapel or the pixel cubes

Also who is it that is in charge of approving plugins?

[vague shuttle]

Bro if this his first made plugin nah better mine

[tawny urchin]

Sorry, you must learn from tutorial and try it again 👍

[rigid seal]

I see the encourage part, but I worry about the unfair part for the disapproved good plugin. Although if the disapprove reason can be implemented with very low effort then I think it’s fine, after all good graphics is only part of the quality, though a very important one

All in all, the ultimate goal of plugin approval should be approve the plugin that many people want and will use, and don’t make good plugin waste

[cunning dagger]

Sorry guy is the first time creating plugin next update guys fixed the problem

And this plugin is my first creation in Theotown

[random violet]

What's up with people, they were really so critical of someone's first plugin? ☠️, for me it's fine, I find it incredible that for someone's first plugin it already knows how to do things and some buildings are pretty

[lethal bolt]

Maybe many did not understand. The problem is not that the first plugin of this author is not at a high level (it is not in the author's lunch), but that often quality plugins are not approved, sometimes the claims for them are absolutely ridiculous. Therefore, there is a resonance that quite primitive plugins are approved, and quite high-quality ones are not.
I wish the author himself development in this work, inspiration and, most importantly, patience.

[rugged rover]

We can give constructive criticism but not like straight up hate bruh.

[random violet]

In that case I had not understood it well and yes, it is necessary to have better quality in the plugins of the store and approve better quality plugins and as you said the creator must improve, I would recommend making buildings inspired by those of the game or other plugins to practice the design (obviously not publishing them but only for practice) or I don't know, that helped me even though it is not that good yet.

[vestal junco]

how do they approve this but not my Imperial German flag!??!?!

[vague shuttle]

Chill man

[vestal junco]

eh f it imma make more flags in other days

cause im lazy rn

[open apex]

what is this?

[random violet]

A plugin

[eternal tide]

It's a bit nostalgic seeing buildings like this ngl

[eternal tide]

Don't worry about the criticism, it just means that there's still a lot of things for you to improve on. You'll get better the more you make plugins

[vestal junco]

[simple kiln]

I personally believe as a creator becomes more and more experienced, their plugins should improve with experience. We often give a lot more leeway to new creators. And I see reading the past messages that some people understand that. As people grow, we would make certain strong suggestions or expect more, which generally tend to help improve the creators work. You only get to see whats approved, not what is disapproved and believe me, we would never get new creators if we treated everyone equally. This is equity

Also, keep in mind, this plugin is a pack, which shows a lot of effort compared to small 1 story house thats 1x1 in a singular plugin.

Ill also put it out here, any plugin disapprovals you dont agree with, you can appeal with kulche

[kind storm]

My philosophy is firm, approve everything

[simple kiln]

your policy is flawed. You wouldnt believe the stuff that gets uploaded.

become a plugin mod and walk a mile in our shoes

Currently, theres 42 plugins pending approval

[kind storm]

It should be like a public forum where anyone can upload their work freely with very little interference. If a plugin is terrible then it’s terrible who cares? Only download the ones you like. I see plenty of high quality plugins get rejected and it’s very unfortunate for this community. There’s such a drought for new plugins so I believe allowing rejected ones will help refresh the store with new creations.

[simple kiln]

thats what the forum is for, and if people believe the rejection is unfair, they can take it up with other plugin mods. Its a team, obviously not everyone will agree with each other, so yeah, youre never out of options. Trust me, ive seen both sides, i have been frustrated myself as a plugin maker, and now im fortunate enough to see the other side

[kind storm]

Perhaps rejected plugins should be posted here on this channel then? If they are unable to upload it through the plugin store they should do so here.

[simple kiln]

Disapproved plugins doesn't mean they can't be approved, it means that there are things that need to be changed before they are approved. For instance, perhaps they crash, or it doesn't work as intended or is considered op by game standards or contain stolen graphics. Disapproval is a chance for the creator to fix it

[sullen gate]

damn

being harsh kinda sad

so hopefully they can improve and learn from experience!

[kind storm]

If it passes basic QA metrics they should be approved. I also think the process needs to be faster

[simple kiln]

Make it faster :)

[sullen gate]

make it ai /s

[kind storm]

Damn straight 👍🏻

[eternal tide]

Look, I've had my fair share of experiences when I used to make plugins. It's a good thing that they disapprove plugins since there could be underlying issues that slipped past the creator but was noticed by the moderator. It means there's a guarantee that they actually inspect the plugins.

[kind storm]

There’s no reason it should be this slow

[simple kiln]

because they are volunteers

[eternal tide]

Thing is like what bunny said, they're volunteers and not everyone has the free time to work as a plugin moderator

[simple kiln]

and the other part is knowing what to do and being trusted to do it

[unreal rivet]

This gibberish shouldn’t even exist at first place

[sullen gate]

yeah i still stand by what i said

[pallid aspen]

Might as well add in my two cents

Quote from the store rules: "Low quality plugins can be posted, but multiple postings of low quality plugins (which looks as if you're uploading them for the sole purpose of earning diamonds) could be punished."

Now if only you saw what plugins we have to disapprove

Sure, this is on the low end in terms of quality, but if we approved every single plugin i doubt you'd be happy as well

[azure plover]

i guess this is a good try but i think a little more effort is needed

[random violet]

As you said, it needs more effort, he didn't give the plugin his time. The buildings don't look Philippine, they look like those generic buildings that come in the game that nobody uses other than Philippine buildings, although well, I've never been to the Philippines in my life, so maybe there are buildings that look like that.

@simple kiln can we lock this thread please
