What's your excuse /v/?Why haven't you started making your own game yet?
1 in a million success stories are inspiring only to those with a sub 100 IQ.
I'm not soulless enough to rip off story of seasons for money
>What's your excuse /v/?After you first.
>>731417425After trying my hand at game development I realized that you NEED to be an artist for it to work. There is absolutely no way around that. Me? I couldn't draw a stickman to save my life.Also, I am not delusional enough to believe that I have a good, viable game idea.
>>731417425Well you see I don't have a gf that will devote herself to fund my lifestyle for five years.
>>731417529fpbp.For every succes you read there are 1000s that ended in the gutter.
Just use AI, it's replacing real game developers isn't it?
A 4chan can only create a yandere dev
>>731417425I'm having more fun drawing assets and characters to put anything together.Also, I kind of want attention to keep myself going, but I'm anon at heart and therefore unable to use any form of social media. Maybe I'll just make a website and update my shit there instead
>>731417529jeetnigger op absolutely btfo
for every guy like him there's thousands that failed and nobody talks about them.just get a normal job and dev during work or as a hobby.personally i realized it's not for me. complete waste of my time.
>>731417529Every time someone increases their financial status due to personal success a flood of envious/suppressive retards show up to break them down. Follow your dreams. The rich and powerful want you to stay poor and depressed.
>>731417425He got two things going for him. First just that Marvelous is so fucking dumb and incompotent as a developers. Stardew Valley is literally just Havery Moon but updated (and poorly written characters). It's crazy that even after Stardew Valley's success, they keep churning out such soulless garbage that no one seems to want. All they need to do is just make a new Story of Seasons or Rune Factory that looks like old Harvest Moon/Stardew valley and it would be an instant hit. Instead Rune Factory has the ugliest art style gives the FFTA pizza cutter sword design a run of it's money. And then for Story of Seasons, it's way too much otome focused on fashion and stuff that people that want a farming game don't care about. The other thing it did right was embracing mod support, which allows it to get away with ugly art style and a boring town.
>>731419348ultimate "fuck it, I'll do it myself" chad move
>>731419348>The other thing it did right was embracing mod supportI love how 9 of the top 10 are murderhobo games and then there is Stardew Valley
>>731419348>make a new Story of Seasons or Rune Factory that looks like old Harvest Moon/Stardew valleyProblem is, it will instantly be dismissed as another Stardew clone, yes, it has gotten so bad in the normalfag circle that even new entries in the series that invented the genre is just considered Stardew ripoffs now.
I tried making an iOS game with SpriteKit. Coding went well with help of ChatGPT but then I realised that I can't draw graphics. I bought an iPad and Apple Pencil and tried to learn but I couldn't so I had to give up. My friend promised to make the music too. Maube some day I will try again
>>731417939Minecraft was created by /v/aggot
>>731419585To be fair, you still murder things in Stardew Valley. In fact, you have to gimp your playthrough if you don't want to do the boring dungeon crawling combat. Or mod it (thankfully). I wish Stardew didn't have combat, and you could say "hey look one of the most popular games of all times doesn't have fighting" but gamers need to kill something so Stardew has dungeon crawling.
>>731419685reminds me of how Metroidvania games are now called 2d souls-like
>>731417529This. Doesnt steam have like 2,000+ indie games from last year that failed to sell enough copies to get back their 100 store deposit?
>>731419814Tits or GTFO, madam
>>731419814It's kinda baffling how when the Grand Bazaar remake was announced during the nintendo direct everyone just went "Oh Stardew Valley clone... ugh..."
>>731417425I really dont believe thats true. No woman is capable of taking care of themselves let alone a man. Not because they dont have money, but because their entitlement to a mans money. If he dont provide, he goes outside.
>>731417425The mandated bedtime and having to go back to your house to save kills the game for me. It's like I just want to play, man.
>>731419685>Problem is, it will instantly be dismissed as another Stardew clone, yesI mean then I can instantly dismiss them as being objectively wrong. Zoomers being retarded doesn't shouldn't stop good games from being made. Also if Concerned Ape had any integrity, he should be happy that a new Story of Seasons would be coming out and would defend those claiming it's a Stardew Valley clone.
>>731420048Meant for: >>731419685
>>731420195>he should be happy that a new Story of Seasons would be coming out [in the same style as the SNES game]That's what I meant, because Story of Seasons is still coming out, just more like otome games.>>731419892Sorry, brownie. I'm not a woman. I just prefer fun action games like DMC or something if I'm going to have combat. I didn't need dungeon crawling in the good Harvest Moon games from when I was a kid, I don't need it now. Especially the boring, braindead easy dungeon crawling that is Stardew Valley's combat.
>>731417425The OP image implies mentioning having support for over 5 years and a loving partner who can be a temporary breadwinner.I don't have those things and work consumes too much of my life and energy.
>>731420378its a fake story.
>>731417529>>731417778>>731418397>>731420095>>731420378>"Dude it's because he had le gf supporting him!">Meanwhile in another corner of steam
>>731419348Damn this nigger is seething so badly lmao
>>731420679Meanwhile in another corner of steam
>>731417662>you NEED to be an artist for it to workNigger this is the art hurdle you need to clear.
>>731417425That's great.He's the lottery winner.So you really gonna bank on that?
>>731417662undertale
>>731420679lmao, it's just a slideshow game.the fuck he having such a hard time finishing it for?
>>731420870They are selling their game for 1 dollar. Its a generic pixel dungeon crawler. How did he think he was going to "make it" with those factors? The fact its $1 would make me think its slop, let alone the actual gameplay
>>731417425i like that guy because he gave me his game for free
>>731417425omg he's literally me! he's so inspiring.neet, virgin, lazy, dumb, porn addict, no skills whatsoever, no experienceI'm gonna find success one day for sure! I'm only 35 years old!
>>731420819I'm seething about Marvelous, yeah. As that other anon said, Concerned Ape just said fuck it I'm doing it myself. That's based, especially because he fully supports me modding his game for the stuff I don't like and stuff I like. But fuck Marvelous. Retarded nip boomer just churning out soulless shit.
>>731417662>you NEED to be an artist for it to workIt's more than even that.I can do art.I can do programming.I can do all the individual parts of game development... except marketing.I can't market. I can't connect with an audience. I can't build a following. I find other people tiresome.I want to put my projects out there, but something holds me back.I think the really successful people can put themselves out there. They can connect with an audience.I understand why I won't succeed. But I'll keep doing it because it's fun. Picrel took me ages, but speed comes with practice. Also, a lot of people hate the style, and that's cool.
>>731421002You are retarded. You dont bank on $300m amd jerking off the rest of your life. You bank on creating a sustainable living by producing respectable games that sustain 10k copies/y sold average.
>>731422254also don't worry about the poly count - I'm not that retarded. It's just the hand and foot haven't been retopo'd yet, so they contribute about 350,000 tris alone. I'm not making a toothbrush here.
>>731422724>implying selling 10k copies at more than $5 per copy a year isn't a lottery winyou live in a dream world, bro
>>731421526Lmao salty
>>731417425I hate videogames
>>731417425>supported by his PARTNERSo he's gay or...?
>>731422760Im more laughing at you saying marketing is your barrier. If that image is representative of what you make then your marketing requirement is hilariously low. Literally all you need to do to garner a base of sales is to post a pirated version on f95 or some shit and if its any good word will spread and those too much of a bitch to pirate will start buying.
There is no money in indie game dev business, why don't you get cracked instead?
>>731417425I'm stupid and I'm so unrelatable that I doubt my idea of a fun game would fun to anybody else.
>>731417529lol is that why a high IQ individual like yourself is an unsuccessful loser?
If you make games for money and not for the fun of designing and building something to share you are a soulless goyim.Making money, especially a ton of money, is just a nice kickback if it happens.Dont quit your dayjob or lose passion.
>>731422947>your marketing requirement is hilariously low.You underestimate how much I can't connect with people.
>>731419886How many of them are good games and not AI generated pick 3 roguelite asset flips?
>>73142283610k sales/y goal is not a lottery. Thats 15-20% of the games released on steam last year. Making games is good business if you arent completely retarded and can keep your costs low.
>>731422943>amber hagemanare YOU gay?"partner" omits the relationship status. she could be his girlfriend or fiance or wife
Because I don’t have an idea, believe it or not.At least not one that both interests me and is even remotely plausible.
>>731417425his girlfriend is the real winner since all she did was not bitch at him too much for a few years and now she has $150 mil minimum waiting for her when she inevitably decides she needs to leave him to find herself with a global vacation.
>>731423223People say "partner" in two situations:1) pretentious gays and lesbians who think they're above using the terms boyfriend and girlfriend2) you're dating or married to a they/them gender weirdo who doesn't like gendered language like bf/gf and hudband/wife.Considering this, I find it highly likely that concerned ape is in a relationship with a man who goes by Amber and pretends to be "nonbinary"
>>731422254>>731417662>excuses, excusesYou think this faggot knew anything about good art or marketing? lolTry making a decent game first
>>731417529ok loser
