Recently I have noticed that I miss feedback on my puzzles.
It frustrates me now and then that so little comments are written to (my) puzzles.
Creating puzzles is a very time consuming hobby. I have a lot of fun creating them, but it should be more fun if there is more interaction with solvers. How did they like it, how did they do it? I have written walkthroughs for some of my recent puzzles, but received no/ hardly response.
I sometimes have questions too to the puzzlers-society. For instance, my latest puenktchen sudoku received a valution so far from only 78%. It is among my lowest rated puzzles. I don't understand. Especially compared to the former two puenktchen sudokus that are rated so far a little bit over 90%. Of course it is possible that people needed T&E. But for those I have written a walkthrough, also for learning purposes. Giving a low reward for such a puzzle without writing a (hidden) comment about the solving route is no fun for me.
I would really appreciate it a lot if there would be more interaction between puzzle creators and puzzle solvers by comments to the puzzles. I really miss it. And that makes my motivation decline slowly. I am sorry to say that, but I wanted to let you all know.
Do other puzzle makers have the same feelings?
