Hatchable set on the way, new rules tho
8 years ago
so ... I'm gonna do a new Hatchables set later today. Slight caveat, though. And here's some context for it ...
I TACKLE HATCHALBES DIFFERENTLY
With how I crank out these adoptables, if I did the normal way (show an egg, you adopt, then there's the hatchable) it's really just adding another step to the process.
As such: I allow for some client input on the design ... in a very limited way so that they still get the hatchable surprise effect. (otherwise it'd just be a custom dopt, and I already offer those)
- I mean, part of the appeal of hatchables is that surprise Gatcha sensation of putting a coin into the machine and opening the plastic bauble to see what figurine you got.
WHAT I LIKE ABOUT DOING IT THIS WAY
I get pleasantly surprised by the input received. Done right, it gives me a challenge and still allows me to get some creative-excercise in designing it
WHAT I DON'T LIKE ABOUT HATCHABLES
People don't read the instructions.
Seriously
Every set there's at least 1 person who doesn't read the instructions. As in they'll write in and say "I want this" and then I have to say "... and? ... did you read the instructions? ... did you know that you have to provide input?"
Then, also, after reading directions they don't FOLLOW directions. The most common example: I say "give me 3 adjectives" and they give me 3 paragraphs explaining what would otherwise be the requisite information for a custom adoptable ... which a hatchable isn't.
So it's honestly frustrating for me to deal with that, which is why it's been a few months since my last hatchable batch.
...
But, I figured out a new rule. And I will do everything that I can to communicate this, and hopefully it will minimize the number of times I have to put it into effect.
YOU HAVE ONE CHANCE TO MAKE YOUR REQUEST CORRECTLY
That's it.
- So, if the input request was "supply 3 adjectives" and you submit your request saying "Well, here's the adjectives... but what I really mean is [short novel's worth of clarification]"
- YOU WILL NOT GET THE HATCHABLE (and don't worry, I won't ask for payment until I confirm you did it right. If you happened to pay first, which i advise against, I'll refund you.)
And to make it clear?
Failure to comply will result in missing out on getting any hatchable from the entire set. So if you ask for top left and totally ignore the rules you won't get top left and you won't get to bid on any other one.
SORRY FOR BEING A GRUMP ON THIS
The frustration that ensues from people who simply don't follow the directions (in ways that it's clearly not an error on my part) has honestly dissuaded me from doing these hatchables.
Hatchables are fun, but dealing with people who don't follow directions kill the joy out of it.
SO YEAH, YOU'VE BEEN WARNED
...
BUT DO HAVE FUN AND ENJOY THE HATCHABLES~!
