Megabonk has sold 1 million copies in 2 weeks. I’m going to kill myself.
Flash in a pan. Like everything else that's pop-culture/meme/reference-dense, it'll die off very quickly and will be permanently forgotten. It will not age well whatsoever. Hold firm, anon.
>>722285802Idc the guy made like $6 million that I need

>>722285723>I’m going to kill myself.That is an exceptionally good idea
>>722287006Hades 2 sold 2 million copies retard, and that game is 5x the price
>enjoying game>join the official discord>laundry list of chat rules about not offending every ism out there>trannies everywhere>dev is a 22 year old furfag obsessed with femboy foxesWhy is every fanbase like this now?
>>722286847christianity is gay
>>722285723never heard of it
>>722287160>join the official discordthis is where you fucked up
>>722285723He's also 1 in 1.000.000 of people that attempt to hit it big with an indie.
>>722285841>Idc the guy made like $6 million>$10 x 1,000,000 = $10,000,000>-30% Valve cut>-30% tax>$4.9mOf course thats assuming a 100% US customer base, which nothing is. So more like $4m.
>>722287606Its 1 in 18,623 (total number of games released in a year on Steam) Pretty great odds compared to other get rich quick schemes.
>>722287687Four million USD is a lot of money if you live like a normal person and not like a wannabe aristocratic toolbox.
>>722287114How many people worked on hades?
>>722288348but he needs $6m
>>722288528
>>722285723Why is the "games that take no skill where you watch numbers go up" genre so popular on Steam?
>>722287290retard
>>722288726>all those pajeet namesle sigh
>>722286847Fuck your moral faggotry.
>>722285723>Bonk isn't even in itFalse advertising.
>>722285841cool it with the antisemitism
>>722287606There are very few legitimately good indie games that go completely unnoticed. The vast majority is garbage meme shit.
>>722288784because the flashing lights, upbeat music, and numbers going up give literal retard NPCs (most people) dopamine hits that keep them addicted even though there's nothing of real substance happening.It's the same reason slot machines are popular even though they only require the most basic, mindless kind of input from the "player".
>>722289098I know plenty of good/alright ones that got unnoticedmarketing does ALL, how the game is matter less
>>722289239Name three please i need some good games
>>722285841skill issue
>>722289239>marketing does ALL, how the game is matter lessMegabonk wasn't marketed at all, you can tell this from their view count on videosWhat happened was some streamers started playing it so then others started playing it.And here we are
>>722285841Make a game then
>>722287160trannies are good at making games, we know. if only rightoids could to the same
>>722289427this is modern marketing anon, they often pay them to play

>>722287160Another WokeGOD victory.>Get woke, go br-ACK
>dev is obsessed with femboy foxesso he has good taste? what's the issue here? the only problem with the game is that the balancing is dogshit and nothing besides poison and attack speed matters
>>722287160they're the only ones making games and the people buying them, duh
Aaah so it's one of THOSE games where if you say anything bad you get raided by troonies
>>722287160>dev is a 22 year old furfag obsessed with femboy foxesThe dev is Dani you fucking retardHe made some other meme games but vanished when his community got too mentally ill
>>722289862I sincerely only need one hand to count the good interesting chud games I actually felt like playing for more than an hour.Chuds are fucking worthless, bro. Literally all they're good for is crying on twitter and /v/.
Why haven't you made your game yet /v/? You could've made a gorillion dollars
>>722289427I got fed multiple shorts before the release
>>722287160>laundry list of chat rules about not offending every ism out there>trannies everywhere>dev is a 22 year old furfag obsessed with femboy foxesthat's unironically every discord server ever madewhy would you even fucking use discord in the first place?!?!
>>722290032Too busy being crabs in a bucket and being upset that other people are filling their dreams
>>722289176>the games I play for fun must be sophisticated because I am a cultured individual, not like you peasant swineIt's a GAME that people PLAY you disgusting faggot. What do you think those words mean? Why would you put player in quotes like that lol thats embarassing af. We're talking about video games here, your highness. Clearly such a common pasttime is unsuitable for a highly cultured redditeur such as yourself
check out slots and daggers
this game scratches the itch risk of rain left in me
>>7222858416 million sounds a little high.
>>722290097Stop showcasing what circles you frequent, fahgot, the servers I'm in aren't like that
>>722287160Why would you join a discord for a game that isn't even multiplayer?
>>722290135sure faggot, and i suppose reading twilight makes you just as cultured as reading plato's republic. after all, all they're both BOOKS that people READ.fucking dumbest shit ive ever read
>>722290340>the servers I'm ingo back tranny

im over it already. got it for $5 so cant complain
>>722287160>>join the official discordGROOMER GET YE GOONE
>>722289427Megabong has a huge tiktok following
>>722289239>marketing does ALLHey so, everything you buy is because of marketing. 95% of consumer purchases are emotional judgements + marketing. Rarely if ever does anyone make a "logical" purchase based on impartial concepts or analysis.
>>722290461The motivation for reading books and playing games is totally different. Smart people can have fun with stupid games, because that's all they sign up for. A game. That's why I called you a redditor in the first place. Not every game has to be high intellectual art. That's why they call it a game, dumbass
>>722290913This. Got 10 hours out of it. Not interested in the unlock-fest.
>>722291149Sometimes I still buy games blind with only some visual and description and not looking at anything elseit's rare but I still do it
>>722289517>this is modern marketing anon, they often pay them to playCool that's not what happened here. This indie dev didn't have any money to pay twitch people $20,000 to play his game>>722290084>I got fed multiple shorts before the releaseThose weren't paid for>>722291087Again, free, and was word of mouthThe dude didn't purposefully market his game to this level, it just happened. He didn't choose to have people show it off on tiktok or pay them to do it.So when people say that marketing is everything what they mean is luck is.
>>722287160>actively going into a game dev's discordits like you retards actively want to get yourselves angry all the time
>>722291354You do the same thing everyone does, which is buy based off emotions.
>>722290410Zoomies are braindead
>>722291440>Those weren't paid forYou think marketing is only paid things? RetardMarketing is making people see your game. It's shit like Dev logs, twitter, discord servers, etc. You're just too fucking old to understand paying for a banner on a site is completely meaningless because only people that would never buy your game don't have ad blockers >Muh luck The dude made several games that got very popular, abandoned his online presence, started over and hit it big again You're retarded if you think it's just luck
>>722288860>look at pile of shit>choose to step in said shit>EUGH, why is there shit on my shoes???Braindead fucktard.
>>722291440>Again, freeMarketing has nothing to do with spending money
>>722292020>>722291440Also "luck" is cope by lazy people who want to excuse their own passivity. He spent a huge amount of time on social media marketing his game, and did it well, making tiktoks responding to peoples comments and adding features they wanted to see. Far more than most indies do which is drop a trailer then say 'give me EA money for a release in 12-36 months'.
>>722287160this is 4cucks' favorite october game??
>>722288784Because gamers are fucking retarded.And every time I tell someone that number go up is literally just cheap psychological trick used to make you shoot dopamine and is detrimental to having actual good and innovative game design or captivating stories, I just get called out for hating on fun. Like I cannot believe that I have to share hobby with these mouth breathing niggers who treat video games like it's porn, just tap in for some cheap zero effort dopamine.
>>722292796The entire fucking point of videogames is fun, a button that makes a fart sound when you press it has infinitely more merit than whatever gay video essay design bullshit you just spewed
>>722292951See your brains have already become too smooth to even understand what the fuck I am even talking about. Sure you can acquire this fun by watching porn, doing drugs, or playing a fucking number go up. And yes these have lower barrier of entry than taking effort learning something new, experiencing novelty, a good story, art, do like literally anything else than those 3 aforementioned things.The entire fucking point of LIFE is to do things that your brain produces feel good hormones from. That is why it does that. To encourage us to do the good things. But the big problem with this is that our brains evolve slower than our technology and knowledge, and we've figured out how to exploit our brains functionality and keep inventing these things that just make our brains think that this is it. This is the thing we should be doing.
>>722293685didn't rad cope and seethe>dude le fun doesn't le matter xD
>>722294219Fun should matter. But it stops mattering when you turn it into a pill.
>>722293685thanks doc
>>722290032/v/ did make a game, and LOOK what happened
>>722287160>dev is a 22 year old furfag obsessed with femboy foxesBest thing about the game desu it's an unbalanced mess otherwise
>>722289513I think its because we spend our energy getting mad at bait here 24/7. While troons and furfags have discipline and can focus on their craft. Because you need discipline to pop hrt, dress like a girl, and do your hair, or create a autistic fursona.
>>722295236>early access
>>722288348This. $4mil is "me and my kids will never have to work ever again" territory
>>722287160femboy foxes are based and it's a shame poltards like you can't enjoy em.
>>722294287You have a point, we need a game where number go down for once.Why must it alway's go up?
>>722295236Is this a TWEWY ripoff
>>722285841Thats a high estimate. I'd say he made closer to 271k

There is no point working as a modern male in 2025.Why the fuck would you work a job making 30k a year when some faggot makes a reddit game, gets lucky and gets SET FOR LIFE. Meanwhile you're a broke miserable loser chud who can't afford boxed macaroni and cheese or a burrito from a fast food place.Fuck modern society.

>>722302480>I-I have to work to live, I'm not jealous of youwagie wagie get back in the cuck cagie
>>722302312Even the lottery is fairer because at least the people playing it usually do so regularly and most lottery winners are regular players who pay in and are tax paying citizens.So usually its some boomer whos a career trucker or some shit whos been buying lotto tickets for 10 years. He wins and he deserves it because maybe he's a father or a life long husband who has worked for 30 years.Then you have indie games where some furry faggot or zoomer becomes a multimillionaire for 2 months of work or some shit. Meanwhile you're a broke chud who can't afford a $14 mcdonalds meal to enjoy a burger once in a while.Fuck modern society and fuck you.
>>722302480>If I do le inb4, that means you can no longer use it against meTwo more weeks, sweetie. Aaaaany day now.

>>722302850Most zoomer are miserable broke chuds including (you). YOu cant afford to go out and eat or even afford a $20 purchase without overthinking it.Western society is failing. Zoomers have no future. Work means nothing anymore. Degrees do nothing. Jobs are not hiring. Zoomer gave devs make millions for doing nothin while millions of 90% zoomers are poor living on mac and cheese and poverty dollar store food.Fuck modern society and fuck you.
>>722301302Honestly sad that Lethal League and the sequel weren't more popular. Really fun game with an amazing soundtrack
>>722303001>Zoomer gave devs make millions for doing nothinMeds
>>722303062You will always be broke. You cant even afford a mcdonalds meal 2 days a week. American society is failing. There is no value in a degree or money. Nobody can afford even a $10 purchase unless they have a 100k/yr job.

>>722303552Trump is fixing it
Reminder that the developer will admit to you that he is unable to beat the final boss of his own game
>>722285723>another vampire survivor elertic bangooloooo

>>722303552It's called the American dream for a reasonMost people aren't gonna live lavishly, since as a species we are not allowed to kill each other we do the next best thing which is enslavement and oppression But yes, you shouldn't make your endgame a standard job because they do in fact not pay enough for luxuries
People that enjoy these kinds of "games" are not human.
Oh my lordy lord! Why are you talking about gaming and not posting jpgs of gacha waifus on the gaming board!
>>722304332
How long until the dev gets bullied out of the internet by shartyfags like they did with the Webfishing guy?
>>722304031>It's called the American dream for a reasonIt was called that because unlike every other shit hole around the world the United States presented unprecedented opportunity for hundreds of years.Clearly thats fairly impossible or improbable in the modern age, given all of the ladders pulled up by corpos and their desire to massively exploit the masses
>>722304752Good news: its already happened once beforeBad news: he came back and released this
>>722304752if he's smart he'll just copy the Pizza Tower dev at the first sign of those underages>kill discord server>sever all further communication>not my fucking problem lmao
>>722304752the developer is the danidev youtube fag who abandoned that alias because of harassment or something. his old games are actual dogshit. im surprised this one isn't total dogshit.
>>722287160>peering into any online community for anything in 2025, let alone a discord servernot sure what you expected
>>722289098Implying op isnt garbage meme shit?
>>722303552>living below their means??? if they were living below their means that would mean they have extra money and are not living paycheck to paycheck
Sigghhh fine i guess ill start making some low effort meme garbage to get my millions
>>722292796Luckily for me, numbers don’t make any sense to me. Seeing them go up is the same as seeing them go down, or be randomized. So only games with a good plot or intense moment to moment reflex heavy action are enjoyable
>>722290032I cant toss aside my self respect to do whatever it takes to enrich myself. I just cant. Its not in me to use someone else or manipulate someone to my benefit.I also cant just make a lowest common denominator slop like a FotM indie. I have an artistic integrity i dont think money would make me feel better if i betrayed.
>>722303041The guys who made those went on to make Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, really fun JSR like and it's getting a sequel soon.
>>722285841He combined two games (Vampire Survivors + Risk of Rain 2) and somehow got streamers to play it. So just use that formula and do it yourself
>>722285723Oy vey
>>722304891>im surprised this one isn't total dogshit.have you played it? It's jank derivative bullshit
>>722304027>Could make this game in a week>Sold 10X more than my game which took a year to makeSometimes I wonder why I bother.

>>722306456Please enlighten us (but yeah I’d assume the guy has an LLC set up to get some tax breaks)

if this guy picks up your game you win the lotteryhe popularized>vampire survivor>Valheim>Bloons TD>now megabonk
>>722307228Who is he?
>>722307291quin69 he was the first to stream megabonk then shroud and other streamers picked it up. 1 week later the game sells 1 million
>>722307228>The success of your game now depends on whether some retarded faggot on Twitch decides to play itIs this supposed to be good news?
>>722307384Will check him out thanks anon
>>722307396id say memes are up there too. souls , silksong and DMC5 for example were memed for years. all it takes is for the game to become a meme
>>722307396>Email people>Get ghosted>3 people do use your Steam key but never thank youIt's just like jobfinding
>>722307760If your game is special enough it’ll get noticed in their inbox and they’ll want to show it to their viewers

>>722308220>THIS is who zoomers listen to for game recommendations?not zoomers other streamers play the games he plays. he is arpg main but plays assorted games in between seasons
>>722285841okay and what effort have you put into making that money?
>>722307869>Sorry anon, there aren't enough hours in the day for me to play aaaallllll these games even though I never have to drive>If you paid me, I might reconsiderRecruiters are better than this, at least they don't ask for bribes.
>>722287160>join the official discordI seriously need to know, what compels a person to do this? Is it just a zoomer thing I will never understand?
>>722308328What's the average cost for these "sponsorships"?and how big is this "holden" guy?
>>722308442>What's the average cost for these "sponsorships"?Certainly no less than $500 per video/reviewer.Usually around $1k to $2k but can go all the way up to $20k>and how big is this "holden" guy?50k subs last I checked.
>>722308442>What's the average cost for these "sponsorships"?Completely depends on how big the streamer is and how Jewish they are. The biggest ones probably charge tens of thousands of dollars an hour.
>>722308328the sad truthmajority of them are indeed selling sponsorshipsthey also lie about or hide it beneath just a "review" or some other hogwash
>>72230844236.7K and unsurprisingly, he has Bonk videos. I don't have his price in particular but I found this from a 13K guy.
>>722303723yet.. you're seething about them right now
>OHHH, SURE THIS GUY MADE MORE MONEY IN A WEEK THAN EVEN THE BEST SELLING /AGDG/ GAME IN YEARS BUT IT'S LE FOTM BRO, IT WILL BE FORGOTTEN SOON!What does it matter? We will all be forgotten anyways. And besides, being "remembered and having a legacy" for your game means jack shit. It will NEVER make whatever next game you make successful. Because 90% of gaymers play your game once and move on and never think about it again.The world has subhumanized entirely, there's no need for anything more than slop.
>>722308602>asking for 160 dollars an hour to play a video gameWho actually pays for this shit?
>>722285723I'll buy it when it gets a Castlevania dlc.
fuck crypto develop a shitty gimmick game and give it away for free to streamers
>>722308719People who don't have marketing divisions.
>>722308702Digging a Hole was honestly too short.
>>722308958At that point devs should just buy art commissions of the MC and flop in peace. The art is far better than 1 unedited hour of a streamer being bad,
>>722308958Realistically what does "marketing" look like aside from posting your game on xitter and maybe in obscure forums like rpgcodex and system 11
>>722285841shalom
>>722285723>>722285841he did more than you ever will.
>>722287160>dev is a 22 year old furfag obsessed with femboy foxesabsolutely utterly based i just bought a copy for a fellow Femboy furry Chad
>>722285723all you had to do was copy vampire survivors.
>>722309239Any combination of these 4 pics which you will never see from an anon game.
>>722307396Baby Steps proved you wrong
>>722290032because i can't code and i can't make arti have already made a story for my game but i just can't code or do art or make musicand i don't have the motivation to learn :(it's a shame because i think the game would be really cool and fun
>>722309687how much money did you spend to get 2 mil points anon
>>722287160>dev is a 22 year old furfag obsessed with femboy foxesWasn't that the same case for Lethal Company?
>>722309882
>>722309804>look up what this is>it's yet another Vampire Survivors cloneAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>722309946I have double that and I only have 250,000t. handful of key site bundles
>>722309986Yeah I don't like the VS part either but this is as close as it gets to someone who is actually trying to market.
>>722309731Damn I shouldn't have abandoned my VS clone a year ago
>>722310060i buy alot of games for my friends
>>722310204Your friends have money....right anon? Are you spending like full game prices on them?
>>722310202I probably wouldn't pay money to play that but that looks kind of cool visually
>>722309239Not much else without spending money. You could do dev updates and youtube previews, but that only gets people who were already interested. Hope your game gets into a Steam Next Fest.Marketing in most settings is deciding where and who to pay to shill your product for you. If you post in a forum you're a shill. If you leave your fate up to store's algorithm you're an idiot. If you spend some money like every other business you've got a more than 0 chance. You had to pay good money or rub elbows to get your product in the newspaper or off the bottom shelf in a supermarket. Even paying for radio shout out was vital. At the end of the day, no one wants to be "sold" something while they're going about their business or look at ads.
>>722310320i like spending my money on my friends and family because it make me happy and them happy i don't care if they do or don't have money i still get them gifts because i like them and want them to be happyand yes at full price
>>722310202You had a good thing going there. Shame you stopped.
>>722310202this looks very pokemon gamefreak would fuck your ass
Musou survivors when? I think it would be a hit.
Why even bother making a game when only shitslop like this actually gets anywhere? I don't want to make shitslop like this, in fact I CAN'T even. But making a real game takes more time and money that will pay off significantly less than a shitslop crapped out in less than a month.
>>722310674The point of making a game is because you personally want to do it, you fucking retard.
>>722310750Whats the point if it won't make money?
>>722310771refer to >>722310750
>>722310771Is your time spent on this website making you money?
>>722310801i implore you to look at >>722310771>>722310829no but i will be soon when i become a janitor next application wavei heard their pay got TRIPLED

Streamers run this world, whatever they decide to play the masses will follow, there is no personal preference anymore and games will never again have a lasting impact or legacy, it's just fast food. I'm just glad I got to live in an era where games weren't consumed, they were enjoyed, it's over.
>remind me again why i dropped VS-like genre as a whole a year ago
>>722285723megabonk sounds like a nortubel character
>>722311525curate your social circle, retardtalk to people who do have taste and preferences and can form coherent opinions on why they like or dislike something
>>722311525This is how it has always been. Sure, it wasn't always "Streamers" but it was always some group of the few who decided for the many.If it's over now, it never really began.
Why is everyone dooming so much about this game anyway? It's just more FOTM crap for the pile like it always is with these kind of games for the last decade. You'll all just move onto complaining about the next one when this gets forgotten about in a week or two as always anyway, who cares?
I'll make (You) talk about my game during NextFest, then I'll have this game's numbers. The OPs will be deceptive such that no one knows I made the thread.
>>722311714Everything is cyclical.They will doompost about the next FOTM slop that gets popular on and on until time ends because it is their nature to complain.
>>722285723is there any trans characers in the game like vampire survivors i need representation
>>722311714>>722311882Seething slopper samefag
I wish there was a good vampire survivors clone without the quirk chungus humor
>>722311958Just neck yourself /pol/niggerChorlie Dork deserved to get vented
>>722311714it’s probably just one very motivated guy that hyper fixated
>>722311995honestly in upgrade wise, this game is very weak at it. Everything is so basic, the only wow thing about it is in 3D scale
>>722312301...which ror2 did better either way
>>722307228come ww3 all this vermin will be drafted and I swear to god if I end up sitting in a trench with someone who says he's a streamer I'll execute them myself.
>>722311525just don't pay attention to it and curate your own taste? why does streamer preference matter. there will always be mass market taste makers, but us as individuals will always have agency on what to play and like and shill
>>722289717More like>lee sin
I boughtered this game and spent 40 hours playing it, looking forward to playing it again in a year or so, when the dev will add more shit. Sorry guys, but I had lots of f*n.

>>722312412I never played RoR, i mean played it once, then it looks pixelated and rogue-like even. I dropped it like 10 mins after. Honestly it's just not my thing, including megabonk game
Why is almost every modern popular game some dumb roguelike number go up shit. What the fuck is wrong with people. Actual ape brain.
>>722285723I refunded it
>>722312847play good roguelites insteadplay noita or STS
>>722285723Risk of rain without multiplayer
>>722312909No, I hate those games. The only good roguelike game I've ever played was Rogue Legacy 2 and I still didn't finish it
>>722312847Subhumanized world. Jews took some notes from the Bolsheviks and bred the perfect cattle.
I got to top 1% with my own build and I'm kinda done with it. Fun game thoTo reach above 0.5% you need actual autism and only use meta builds with good RNG
>>722313103
>>722287687>tfw you put 6 months of work into a game and it makes only 4 mills in the first 2 weeksbros why is life unfair like this
>>722312976I am sorry, you might be a brainletrogue legacy is the exact same "number go up" game, but instead it's measured in completed runs and not direct stats with very little skill expression beyond mechanical
>>722301562you pay a localization contractor, there's tons.I made a little indie game that did ok, localization for the whole game was like $1500AUD and it paid for itself ~50 fold.
>>722309239marketing is overratedyou just need to make a good fun game that people will play and gladly pay forif people click on it when it shows on their feed and buy it, steam will show it to more peopleif people don't click on it or don't really buy it all that much, steam will stop showing it to people no matter how much you've spent on "marketing"good games without marketing have made tons of cashmeh to bad games fail even with a lot of marketingsteam can promote your game on its own and it is really good at it (that's kinda the whole deal of steam), but your game needs to be actually fun and people need to want to spend money on it
>>722312743I see you know your judo well.
>>722313397>you just need to make a good fun game that people will play and gladly pay fori know about a dozen of good, fun, quality indie games under 100 steam reviewsmarketing does matter
>>722313397yeah the first step to good marketing is just to make a good game.but emailing 10k youtubers with keys and pumping wishlists still works, but any kind of paid advertisement is a waste of time/money nowadays.
>>722313448sad truth is their capsule art or even just art in general looks like shit so no one bothers to try them.
>>722307228I doubt he popularized fucking bloom considering is flash game and a franchise older than the average poster on this site
>>722313448post one and I will instantly explain how they're actually shit and what makes them not sell (what makes people not want to buy and play them)
>>722313335Yea, that's why I didn't finish it. However, it's the only one that actually felt like they put design into a lot of the rooms. I also liked the permanent traversal upgrades you unlock. Too bad it was stuck behind roguelike bullshit.
>people act like the only way they find games are streamers>I only even seen this game when steam recommended because I played both vampire survivors and risk of rain 2 and I found the gameplay video and reviews interesting
>>722303261with 4 you throw it into some low risk slow reward shit and live off the passive income for the rest of your life.
>>722297478>>722303261>>722313841It's 4 mill for the first 2 weeks, 2 mill per a weekYou think the money will suddenly stop now or something? You think it's illegal to make money from a title after the first 2 weeks are over?
>>722289992Any proof to this? Only thing I see about this is speculation from Reddit.

>>722314750I asked for an example first, but I can't expect to see reading comprehension from you I guess huh, Rajesh.Take your time browsing through your folder of indians tho now, I'm sure you got a lot of those stored on your drive.
>>722314883>can't provide an example>A-ACTUALLY YOU ARE THE INDIAN!!!
>>722313397This, you don't need to market shit, good games almost always get at least 500 reviews. I don't know a single good game that didn't.>>722313709They won't post one because it's all amateurish platformerslop.
>>722297478all depends on where you live. US? Not a chance. Mongolia? Live like a king forever

>>722315451more like>copy FOTM>hope "influencers" pick up on it (one in a trillion chance)>make gazillion
Fun Gameplay loops will also win which is something AAA Studios don't understand. Gamers don't want ''cinematic experiences'' they want to have fun which is why all the massive selling games in recent years are indie titles.
>>722315543>batsugun cloneLiterally no relation. What? and it's not "formulaic" whatsoever
unlocking birdo was fucking AWFUL but holy shit hes so fun to play it was worth it
>>722315412NTA but Scores and Leaderboards can’t fill a /v/ thread. If you can’t make anons talk and you can’t make YouTubers talk then you have no one at all.
>>722315596>Literally no relation. What?It's the same type of vertically scrolling bullet hell.>b-but the nuancesNobody gives a fuck, it's like pretending Death Must Die isn't a Vampire Survivors clone because... uhh some mechanics are different?
>>722315543>Even an extremely niche autist game like ChoDE https://store.steampowered.com/app/476530/Children_of_a_Dead_Earth/ has 800+ reviews.Do you have proof it was never marketed anywhere? Or are you retarded and think "well it wasn't shilled on /v/ so it was never marketed!!"?
>>722315683Correct, so you agree that there are good games which naturally according to their nature can not get free marketing to the degree of 500 reviews or more?
>>722315683>he thinks people care more about the discussion surrounding videogames rather than videogames itselfholy autism
>>722315698>it's the same type of vertically scrolling bullet hellyou've clearly never played batsugun or eschatos
>>722289176>It's the same reason slot machines are popular even though they only require the most basic, mindless kind of input from the "player".I recently met a retard who was lying out his ass (told me he was a casino millionaire yet he paid for his beers in cash... bro what) and this guy genuinely thought that playing during specific time of day you have a higher chance of winning. I also tried to explain gambler's fallacy to him and he understood none of it
>>722315546There's no other game like megabonk. If there was one before megabonk it would make the same money. Easy as.
>>722315412>ugly mobile looking game with gameplay that has been done better in other (better looking) titles doesn't make moneyWow, I'm surprised.Exactly what I expected lul...
>>722316017No other shmup plays like Eschatos except for JSS (previous game from the dev)
>>722315703Nobody ever claimed niche games aren't marketed at all, the point is it doesn't need streamers, tiktok/youtube shorts, or paying out the ass for marketing. How many places do you think have an audience that both plays games and will play pic related?The point was that games with appeal don't need much/any marketing effort, and this one didn't DESPITE being incredibly niche. The only "big" guy picking this up was Scott Manley who got 200k views, and he did so because it was precisely the kind of thing he likes. That's the point: if your game has appeal to an audience, even a small one, you don't need to give yourself an ulcer marketing, people will naturally be interested in showing it, if nothing else just for their audience who they know like this kind of game. >that's still big! My game won't get that!That's the point, your game has no appeal so nobody will ever pick it up because nobody wants to play your shitty nostalgia-fueled derivative clone of some shitty game from the 90s.
Megabonk has more concurrent players than Vampire Survivors or RoR2 ever had. I wonder how much each spent on marketing
>>722316135>any niche genre which doesn't align with my delusion view of reality is shit
>>722308442>and how big is this "holden" guy?Not very. About half his vids don't even break 1000 views
>>722316212Vampire survivors probably nothing most twitch players played it on their own after someone found it fun. Megabonk posted videos of his games himself on his youtube channel so probably zero dollar too, unless you want to calculate working hours for him. No idea about risk of rain
>>722308719Nice reading comprehension, bro.It's $160 to have a consulting session. It's $70 to get the youtube video
>>722315543>check it out>released in 2016you fucking nigger
>>722315758Yes, refer to any Pauline thread which outnumbers the gameplay threads.
>297 posts in>not a single screenshot of the game or webm of gameplay
>>722316335>Daaaaddy, I want the newest thing possible for my tiktok fried brain pathways
>>722313340>Did ok>Earned $75k at leastI'm sure that's still in aus bucks, but thats still gotta be a reasonable income
>>722316135All this really indicates is that the space autism niche is a bigger niche than you're making it out to be. The youtuber you linked consistently gets 250k-500k views on each video, for instance. That's a shit ton of people.
>>722316471....the point is that games were capable of getting far more attention just on their own back in 2016 due to far lower competition. As compared to now where 20k games are released per year
>>722316423Bro theres nothing to show its 3d survivor slop
>>722314952But that anon did ask for an example of "one of about a dozen of good, fun, quality indie games under 100 steam reviews" first
>>722316594>survivor slopIt's getting impossible to actually talk to you people
>>722316423>webm of gameplayare you retarded?
>>722285723I got tired of shallow action mashies with minor rng in map rotation and loot after the first DLC for Isaac.How are people still into these with the genre going even more shallow and BIG GAMBLING POPUP every 10 seconds since Vampire Survivors?
>>722315738Well yeah, what is a YouTube review supposed to say about this? It’s Diablo? That’s 3 seconds of video so the game becomes a brick as far as marketing goes.
>>722316621Why is a webm of gameplay retarded? Isn't this a thread about a game?
if youre making a game that isnt streamer bait, just share it on twitter. theres a bunch of talented indie devs sharing their stuff every day and it all gets at least 1k likes
The real redpill is that the most important thing is graphicscheck this out: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2882440/DEVIL_BLADE_REBOOT/self-published, solo dev, extreme niche genre (shmups), released less than a year agoand 700 reviewsthe stupid nigger will probably say that this another derivative omega fighter clone or whateverand yet it has 700 reviews just because of the immaculate presentation
>>722285723i am extremely confused by this. maybe gaming has grown to the point that there are sub-cultures in it that don't share even 1 thing with me. i just don't get it.
>>722316801Graphics, fidelity and art style do indeed matter and I'm tired of pretending it doesn'tI'm going to play some amazing looking game like Sin and Punishment over fucking Strikers
>>722316810It's not a "sub-culture" The game is just the perfect engagementslop for normalfagsAny person who likes anything can boot this up, turn his brain off, and play 30 minutes while seeing number go upthat's it
>>722316810It's just a fun short game, it doesn't take itself seriously and doesn't ask much of the player.
>>722316335So it had its sale peak almost 10 years ago when the Steam userbase was smaller?>>722316523Which is my point. Even that has a niche, games that don't sell shit don't even have a niche.
Megabonk is a fun game
>>722287160That's just what that generation is like. I had to work in a group with some gay zoomer transvestite who looks 10 years older than he actually is, who wouldn't stop talking about being a poor oppressed gay 5 minutes into the conversation.
>>722316423>>722316698This is a thread complaining about the game, not actual discussion. Of course no one would post gameplay since they'd have to play it first.
>>722316135So it did have marketing. Which directly disproges your point. You're literally 70 IQ.
The retards in this thread made me look at the other streamer fotw turd and it didn't even hit 10k peak players despite every single streamer and their mom playing it.https://store.steampowered.com/app/3293260/Waterpark_Simulator/
>>722316982>3800 reviewsThat's still over 200k copies sold.
>>722314180Flip the Dev's name
>>722317047Why are you arguing with this retard? He clearly can't formulate a coherent thought, I told you he is brown.
>>722316884in my mind normies wouldn't even look at this twice, since it's not a big AAA, it's not sponsored by sony or similars, and it doesn't look familiar to them. when i first clicked the store page i saw low quality graphics and left. how the hell are normies getting into this stuff? i thought normies were obsessed by photorealistic graphic, and this game has none. i thought they were into big franchises, and this is a indie game. i have normie friends who all played elden ring for example, even though none of them has ever touched any dark souls. how do those people get into this game? i checked out my steam friends, and the only guy playing this game is someone who has over 2k hours on Rustand rust isn't a normie gamewhich leads me back to thinking to sub-cultures, cause i didn't even see any advertisement for this game>>722316896the guy on my friend list has 90 hours on iti still don't understand how a game that isn't known at all and has such ugly screenshots on the store gets so many playerslike, i'm not dissing it or hating on it. i'm geuinely curious to understand the phenomenon
>>722289098>>722289098>>722289098I want unnoticed/unreleased good indie games right now or your mother will have very poor sleep tonight.
>>722317081Uh oh neonazi melty thinking everyone is the same guy.
>>722287160that is every single discord server. i uninstalled in 2021 and my life only improved.
>>722317104Not them but here literally GOTY 2024 for me.https://store.steampowered.com/app/1960900/Judero/
>>722317102It's not ugly ugly, it's a low-poly style in a way that fits the gameplay and music.It's quite addicting, people will burn out on it eventually, but it's good for tens of hours.
>>722317102bro. normies played undertale. amogus. vampire survivors. they all look like shit. were you born yesterday?
>>722317104https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5dYcRvxF7k
>>722317234that's ugly to what i assume to be normie eyes>>722317303no, they didn'tall my normie friends skipped those except among us that is actually a multiplayer gameundertale is the perfect definition of a sub-culture, but it's one that wouldn't overlap with megabonki can see megabonk overlapping with vampire survivors, and that's another one that i cannot understand
>>722317448I guess we have two definitions of normiesto clarify, there are>IRL normies, who watch sports on TV and mostly aren't invested in the internet>internet normies, who play undertale and among usThe second type is extremely weak to engagementslop like vampire survivors no matter how shit the graphics are
>>722285723its a streamer game.I can promise you this shit will die in 2 months like oblivion remastered and clair obscure 33
>>722305839>"somehow" palpatine returnedis not a viable solution to anything
>>722317594>I can promise you this shit will die in 2 months like oblivion remastered and clair obscure 33This is the dumbest thing you faggots say. >2 months>60 days>at 1 hour a day it's 60 hours>most people will probably play moreYeah no shit people will be tired of a game after 60-120+ hours of playing it retard. Megabonk is like 10 bucks how the fuck are 60 hours (or even 20 hours) of entertainment out of it bad?
>>722317613i didnt say that
>>722316514it was about $150k all up after steam cut and taxes and everything, about 2 years dev time so I could have easily earned more money just being a programmer somewhere.though I'm pretty proud of it and it's let me work on the next game.
>>722317523might be thatalthough the guy i know doesn't fit eitherhe has 2k hours on rust and is the only one i know who is playing megabonk
>>722285841now this is kosher
>>722289427>some streamers started playing itAre you pretending to be retarded? No big streamer happens to play something. They are paid advertisers, they are getting paid a lot to play something.
>>722285723no co-op no buy simple as
>>722304752>shartyfags bullied the webfishing guyQrd?
>>722292461Reminds me of when games like Balatro and Blue Prince came out and people genuinely didn't understand how the games got popular.All it takes is just constantly advertising on social media, being in steam next fest, maybe even showing up at a games convention. People who actually play and enjoy games knew games like Balatro were going to be big before they ever came out, its really not hard to predict when you actually play demos or try new games a lot. You end up sifting through a LOT of shit, so when something actually good comes along you know its going to do well.
>dev said fuck it and released the game during silksong periodballsy motherfucker. glad it worked out for him
>>722287687You're right anon, less than $5m in a week, what a waste of fucking time. It'll be lucky to hit $20m in two years at this rate
>>722287160Why are you playing biddeo games? Go to church
God I hate this stupid ass retarded cunt motherfucker final boss>you have fun?>you have a good build?>NOPE YOU DON'Tnot enough jump height, enough extra jumps and movement speed?FUCK YOUIt's just shit design. purely.
>>722320473I disagree. That's what makes the final boss something you need to properly prepare for and that not all builds are viable and that it's a challenge, also on final boss too much movement speed or too much jump is NOT good
>>722285723what a genuinely shit game, speaks volumes for what the average player is like nowadays
>>722320539A well designed boss should never hard counter you if you were able to stomp the whole game until that point. It's pretty clear he wanted the boss to be special but didn't know what to do so he came up with annoying mechanics that require very specific play and very specific upgrades to be able to beat.and in the process invalidate the runs of 90% of the people who, if it were well designed would be able to beat it.
>>722285841So?
i know it's been said before but the final boss is fucking DOGSHIT. level 2000 runs down the drain just because I don't feel like wasting a tome slot and 500 levels on regen or max HP. also make sure to not build too little or too much move speed otherwise good luck staying in the tiny fucking pylons! and the developer needs to fucking kill himself for thinking he needs to copy mythrix. then the quirky xD dogshitdev has to go around making quirky xD youtube shorts about how he has 80 hours in his own game and hasn't even reached the final boss once.
Only midwits hate this game
>>722307228>when the streamer I watch plays a gamei dunno what the fallacy youre invoking is but youre retarded

>>722287160Autists make games (that don't involve sportsball). Don't like it? Don't play them.Simple shit.
>>722320539No a final boss in a game like this should be doable with no fucking items at all, sure it'd have to be a challenge but it's an RNG game.>Final boss is just a reskinned stage 1 bosswas such a dissapointment as well.
>>722297478>>722303261it's possible to live on £1 million for the rest of your life. you can stretch that money to 50 years at least living on £20k/yr, and should be able to achieve the same with low risk investment. that's assuming inflation doesn't increase living costs to such an extent that your money becomes worthless.£3mil equals to $4mil so triple those above values, you can definitely live comfortably for the rest of your life.that all said, you shouldn't be making games with the express purpose of making money. megabonk is a souless game with awful design, and the dev should be ashamed.
This is BANANAS
>>722323170I hate it when you humans appropriate our words and culture
>>722322704I don't remember exactly. I might've done it on turbo mode or swarm mode or something. But I scaled my xp tome a ton, and i killed the final boss a minute early and used all the magneted xp on cursed tome.

>>722285723Where can you see his sales figures
>>722306276Are you the anon who complained about low sales for his game?
>>722310204Can you buy games for me too?I can be your steam friend :)
>>722320934No, it works intelligently with the games balance because the abilities that benefit you with killing normal mobs are not the same as those that benefit with the bossso again it's greed now vs difficulty
>>722322898I'm fine with it, it's intelligently designed with the limitations and cutting corners that you see in indie
>>722287160>DiscordFull of scammers, trannies, and fags. Why are you surprised?

>>722285723It’s just a copy of an already successful game. I’m not immune though, I bought it too.
>>722285841There are like 20 games released every day on Steam. One of them won the lottery, whatever.
Vampire Survivors completely burnt me out on endorphinslop
>>722331832Nah this game is more than that. It’s a master class in marketing and hit-oriented game design.
>>722285723The vast majority of gamers have never had and will never have any self respect. They're like the people in the first section of Snow Piercer munching on bug blocks, except they love it.

>>722323678He was a gamedev youtuber that made lots of streamerbait games (like crab game), and at one point had the most wishlisted game on steam (karlson)and he disappeared before ever releasing it
>>722334329Damn ok that makes me feel better somewhat. Thought he was a random nobody.
I will NOT fall for the latest pozzed shit.
>>722304891It's a vampire survivors clone, you couldn't fuck this up if you tried
This shit really scratched my rogue lite survivors itch. I dig the feel of the gameplay. Good for it.
Between this and Waterpark Simulator, anyone who defends indie games as being better than AAA games is a complete fucking imbecile.>inb4 these don't count

>>722316810>game is fun>game is cheap>it isn't the best game ever, but you can tell that actual work was put in and it has depth for players who want to go that routeSimple as. It is ok if you don't like it.Honestly, the low pricepoint is doing a lot of the heavy lifting for this game. Same deal with Silksong. More devs / publishers need to pay attention to this.
>>722335838>waterpark simtell me what's up with that one
>>722285802I've noticed that a lot. The two week hype cycle is where the money is made.

It was catchy enough for now and he cashed in good. If i ever made money from a game like this id cash in immediately and fucking vanish.
Finally beat tier 3 tree with Amog. Once Final Swarm started spawning I just ripped through his last 2 million health with chain kills.

>>722287687he might as well just burn it all then
It's crazy to me the parasocial hold streamers have on zoomers that they will buy a new game every couple weeks they will never play just because someone they watch played it.
>>722338426jokes on you anon, I do play the games I buy after I see streamers advertise them to me
>Get to Tier 2 for the 8th time in a row>Damage goes to zero and XP gain slows to a crawl>five minutes pass with a single level up and I lose because nothing diesBe honest, this is just another luck game isn't it?
>>722336843>morrowind clonesName a single morrowind clone and I'll send you $500
>>722339010Nearly every successful build I've seen involves stacking poison with gas mask. The weapons involved beyond that are irrelevant, albeit the faster firing instant hit ones are always better of maximum stack uptime.
>>722285723It's still not worth the effort to learn programming and math to make games, this shit is a nightmare
>>722336843I stepped in there once and it was a whiny cesspit of retards. I make the mistake of going to the one in /vg/ fuck now THAT is autism extreme.

>>722312847>Why is almost every modern popular game some dumb roguelike number go up shit.Rougelites are the arcade games of this era.
>>722316262The first Risk of Rain started as a /agdg/ project so it already had eyes on it when it released. 2 already had the fanbase from 1 so they didn't need to advertise it beyond dev logs.
I will never understand these types of games that are designed to be "time killers". To me games are supposed to be a magical experience. I reserve that time for only games I expect will be really good.Like yeah, I waste time browsing /v/. But that's because I get distracted and also it's a source of news and information. I don't intentionally go out of my way to open my wallet and install this shit just to play a mobile-tier game and clap my hands as my score goes up. I don't necessarily want games to be movies but I also hate it when they overtly gamify it with shit like "points" and "scores".
>>722344861Its fun
>>722343871I'm amazed you got that far desu. Only 3 weapons and 3 tomes, only Lv63 when ideally you want to be Lv100 etc.
>>722345438FUCK
>>722345552Another thing want to do is kinda hyper-focus your primary precisely because the boss robs you. Your other weapons get buffed by the Damage Tome and any other option you choose.
>>722325513That narrows it down
and all it took was to put quake bhopping on a vampire survivors
>>722308702>poverty bald gay 3why would anyone buy this, BG3 was 90% bots
Other than lucking into early projectile increases how am I supposed to Vlad? I want to try and break 2k health.

>>722346980Facts
enemies being solid is fucking bullshit I should be able to run through them without getting two shot in a split second
Skating across the sand dunes is god tier, I fucking hate the forest cliffs.

>>722285723you should play some megabonk, it'll cheer you up.
>>722339460That’s why unity and unreal were invented, with them you get to skip 99% of the hard math, what’s left is grade school level stuff. It’s just as hard to learn to use either one effectively though since they’re pretty huge specialized tools
>>722289513Right leaning devs often make great games. They just dont openly announce it because the internet is hostile against right wingers
Fucking rollers.
>>722287160>dev is a 22 year old furfagoh for fucks sa->obsessed with femboy foxesI guess I was too quick to judge that's based actually
>>722308702>Don't market your game>Cry about it
So how do I beat the first___ stage?
>>722352995Find GatePress EKill Tree
>>722352995Play Calcium or Monkey, those are the easiest characters to win with, especially early and a good bit before you unlock Vlad.
>clone risk of rain 2 and clone vampire survivors gameplay for it>make millionsWas that easy?
>>722289513Yes men are good at making games.
>>722353783>make good game>profitit really is that easy
>get to end stage>nigger tree shits out debuff orbs that chase you endlessly>need to cap shrines>cant heal eitherliterally unbeatable
>>722287160Don't forget the LGBT background in the server's icon
>>722289427>Megabonk wasn't marketed at allignorant post is ignorant, it had the best marketing you can do as an indie
>>722316810have you tried the game?
>>722287160>trannycord
>>722316423it's dogshit
>>722353235Monkey doesn't seem like anything special to play with. He just climbs.
>>722357363He's the best bhopper in the game because he's the only character to get a momentum ramp on jumping, that's valuable mobility. The climbing is just an additional great bonus to prevent you getting cucked on Forest by huge walls.
>>722356154i saw it on twitchit's 3d vampire suvivorsit's absolutely not my thing and i could just diss it but i'm notit just makes me feel out of touch, cause it's the kind of thing i would never ever ever buy, and it's actually getting huge numbers
>>722294219My brain is too dopamine fried/addicted and numbers going up don't do anything for me anymore.The more you do it, the more you crave an actual quality-ful entertainment. And lastly to strike my ego and undermine yours: That's how functional brains behave.
>>722358409>strikeminor spelling mistake, take the L
Who's the hardest to win with? Ogre and Sir Oomfie are definitely up there.
>>722358951I suck at the game but i like sir oofie cuz when his sword is huge and he swings it constantly
>>722314420Like, as of recent? NTA but I can do this.- CloverPit - seems to be somewhat popular, but as usual I found it while playing every interesting demo on Steam.- Metro Gravity - somehow under 400 reviews total for such masterpiece? Ok gamers.- Arkheron had a playtest recently. (twice) It's pvp so it's gonna be considered trash off the go by a good 90% here.- Brutal Katana - even as someone who generally dislikes music I can see how extremely bad their music taste is, but I like playing it. It's very cool. (2024 so not that fresh)Along with Brutal Katana follows JetRunners and StuntBoost.- FALLSTRUKTUR, which is somehow overwhelmingly ignored despite being F2P and very fun to play.(and a lot calmer than those "climbing up" games somehow)- Mycopunk if you like Co-Op PvE. Kind of popular.- Gum Flesh - demo only right now but has great potential. Right now absolutely nobody has ever heard of it.- I think White Knuckle was quite popular actually?- Wander Stars released like a month ago. Haven't played the full version yet but I liked the demo.- BREAK ARTS 3 looks cool but haven't tried myself.(188 reviews for something that looks like this?! How is this so unpopular?)My paranoia kicks in so I won't say anything more. What I talked about here I streamed when I played, but nobody cares when I stream things.
>>722360253your first entry is a fucking slot machine
>>722358502I meant strike. Like "knock it up", "bump it", etc.Games usually give positive reinforcement on strike/hit so that's where my brain went.
OKAY WHAT ARE SOME RECENT (SAY THIS YEAR OR PAST 6 MONTHS) SURVIVOR-LIKES THAT YOU ENJOYED
>>722360470Yeah. It's one of the few (if not the only one) games about increasing a number that made it work for the game in the past 10 or so years.Is the randomness what you're talking about? The game pretends it's random but I know of at least 4 ways to guarantee "good luck" despite having played only for like 11h. It's all skill with a possible saving throw if you get lucky, which is a very common thing in games.
>>722334183find an ideasguy you mesh with and make a game together
>>722301302If Deadbolt is an aggy game then so is Risk of Rain.My game only made 400kBefore steam cutIn early access
how are you supposed to do the afk gaming challengeone elite comes in and melts you within the first minute
>>722361872Athena is the only real way to do it.
>Calcium's theme having an extremely subtle Bonetrousle motif hidden in itOnly thing in the game that made me laugh
>>722285723You can ride the clone wave if you start working right now.
>>722362227isnt the game itself a clone?
>>722362218I was hearing Toxicity in there
>>722362461it's literally risk of rain mixed with vampire survivors, two games that are very popular for some reasonthat's all you have to do lmao, just take some random indie game that was insanely popular and fuse it with another
>>722362643okay anon if it is sooooo easy, tell me which games would you mix?Hmmmm?Go on anon. Stand up and tell the class about your idea.
>>722362882Balatro and Sonic
>>722362882hollow knight and megabonk
/v/ tards seething at someone else's success will never not make me laugh.Its one guy, surely one of you faggots can do this to.
>>722362882It works, just pick any indie games that were popular and combine them if it makes enough sense.i.e. Core Keeper>Terraria + Stardew ValleyDon't know how much it sold but it has 21,000 reviews so it must be a lot, it's not even that complex of a game to make and this is one that somewhat flew under the radar I would say.People like novel yet familiar experiences, making a straight up clone of something usually won't work, but throw a familiar twist into it and suddenly they're all over it.
>>722316810It's a game which works well for streamers. Those can do exceptionally well if they are able to create some movement. Even when just remaking existing ideas.
>>722316884Every vampire survivor game does that.
>>722317102>anon discovers why they keep paying streamers to play games
>>722360754>no repliesepic
if this wants to rip off risk of rain 2 it needs some of the later qol updates ror2 got
>>722364845it's already superior to ror2 just by virtue of not being owned by gearbox
