How come indies keep getting sucesses that BTFO AAA games, and yet we act that they were luck everytime?
>>722502665>indies keep getting sucessesLike what? And no, gachas don't count, they're literally scams
0 marketing and relying on steam algo and jewtubers to play your game can be considered lucky
>>722502665>game has goblin>sells millions of copiesI like this trend
If I had 10k chances to win the lottery every month I'd hit big sooner or later.
>>722503401So just make one game a day, you'll get famous eventually
>>722502665>How come indies keep getting sucesses that BTFO AAA gamesbecause they're established devs?
>>722502665indie game>passion project>just making a fun game>soulAAA sloppa>made for profit>always maximum spectacle because they dont know what fun is>predatory mechanics to suck your wallet dry>soulless
>>722503854>indie game>>passion project>>just making a fun game>>soulOutside of games with legacy fanbases like Silksong or Deltarune, most successful indie games today are none of that. They're all garbageous gambleslop/friendslop that's forgotten in a month or a week like Peak, Megabonk, Schedule 1 or Lethal Comapny. All equally soulless as well since they were all shat out to be cashgrabs.
Like 400 indie games release on steam every week.Maybe 1 out of 20,000 get Megabonk success and its usually only because big streamers decided to all play it.100% luck or nepotism.
>copy of a very successfull game>but 3d and full of memes
>>722502665Because indies focus on fun and the intention of the developers. AAA is all about franchising and making money.
>>722505026zoomercattle don't need anything else
>>722503270Goblins are the pavement apes of fantasy races. You should avoid them at all costs.
>>722504007>Outside of games with legacy fanbases like Silksong or DeltarunePutrid slop.Kill yourself for having bad taste.
>>722505026Vampire Survivors looked like shit. This is way cooler so yeah they deserved it
>>722503572Give me one reason this wouldn't work
>>722505026>natural evolution of game genre>inofensive "cringe" memes that loop around to being SOVLyep, I'm thinking it's kino
>>722502665all anyone needs to do right now is make a game that runs on literally anything and make it fun and it's an instant successAAA can shove their 5090-required $130 diminishing returns UE5 stuttering half a terabyte brown jeet political movieslop right up their own fucking asses
>>722504263nah, streamers play a LOT of games. Game has to actually be good and engaging for the audience to give a shit and buy it to this level of success
>>722502665Literally looks like a shitty phone game. You'd have to be retarded and gay as fuck to play that shit.
>>72250266590% of indie games generate zero profit.9.9% of indie games generate enough money to keep the dev(s) afloat, with them probably making more money if they just worked at a regular dev job.0.1% of indie games turn into massive hits.You can't even reliably predict this, given how many great games fail & how many dogshit games prosper. Compare that to AAA games, where Concord-tier failures are still somewhat rare. It's a safer bet.
>>722508083As a player you benefit way more from giving indies a chance>dirt cheap so you can buy dozens of them that you may or may not like for an equivalent of 1 AAA game that is designed by committee to be as appealing to the lowest common denominator as possibleIts like beers. You can try some microbrews or you can drink the bottled piss that the mass market calls "beer"
>>722502665>BTFO AAAindieniggers have no standards lmaothis shit game is even worse than diablo or poe, literally made for dopamine fiends with no a single standardyou woudlnt know what a good game even looks like
>>722503270Bro I'm gunna be honest with you, what little of your game I've seen looks absolutely terrible
>>722506979>missing the pointFigures, this is /v/ after all.
>>722504007this>>722503854what year are you from?
I CANT FUCKING FIND THE BOSS PORTALSMAKE A MAP FFS
>>722507464>inofensive cringe
>>722510503follow the red streaks blowing in the wind
>>722510503do like the other anon suggested and follow the wind streaks, start bunny hopping you cover a lot more ground and can traverse the map in seconds if done properly.
>>722510503lmao you that same guy from a few days ago still having trouble?
because indie game devs only need you to buy the game, not play it constantly. they showcase literally every fun part of the game in the trailer then you buy it and realize every part not shown in the trailer is boring but at that point you've already played 2 hours.nowadays all it takes to get a sale is to show one novel bit of interactivity in your game to make people onionsface
>>722512510I'd rather pay $10 for 40+ hours of addictive gameplay than $70 for 15 hours of one and done gameplay/cutscenes
The final boss is pure unfiltered dogshit and it needs to be addressed. >what if you had to cap 17 shrines>AND the shrines are way up top on a small platform>ANND there's orbs, adds, and uproot attacks nonstop>ANNND you can heal when you get hit by the orbsGenius design.
>>722512905It was made obscenely hard to the point the dev could not beat it. Beating the final boss is only for people that are really good at the game, not OK or good enough. Really good.
>>722513118This is just like the modders from Calamity. I hate tranny furries so much.
>>722503237the steam algo is pretty good actualy. ive said this before but post one game that you feel has less reviews than you think it deserves, every game you see on steam seems to have a fitting amount of attention acording to quality
>>72250808390% of indie games suck balls, go on steam on look at new releases. 90% of indies dont deserve a profit
>>722512305No I bought it today after seeing asmongold playing it
>>722512905the problem i find is that the area to actually walk around the shrines is a bit too small, and getting hit by fucking anything will LAUNCH you out of the capture zone 9/10 times. i also dont really understand how the orbs work. they sort of home in, but sometimes they're easy to avoid and sometimes you just get chain hit to death and not even aegis stops the damage. and then the desert boss with the fucking laser. blocking it with terrain is great, but then theres the fucking orbs. im still not entirely sure how i beat him, but it was with the dice guy (first run with him too, lol).
>>722506979Retarded esl, there was zero valorization in his post. Stop automatically going into seethe mode whenever you see a word you don’t like.
>Get 3 leeching crystals in a match to unlock kevin>it's been 4 days of playing and I havent seen a single leeching crystal despite always taking luckyeah, RNG quests are fucking retarded
>>722514314I think the shrines are a terrible design. If you have too much move speed you cant dodge effectively while capping either. I like the old bosses being adds summons, since that sticks with the whole premise of the game. Just remove the shrines and replace them with bosses being summoned as a wave.
>>722502665Are there any hot women in this game?
>>722502665>How come indies keep getting sucesses that BTFO AAA gamesSuccess how? No indie cracked the best selling 20 games in 2024.
>>722502665because there are a billion of them
>>722514067This website is fucking dead.
>>722514997your run is also dead in the water if you take 3, because your regen will be negative and you wont be able to heal. weirdly enough, your health doesnt deplete as if you were poisoned, but it will LITERALLY be negative (because its -50% each crystal) even with a regen tome. died super quick to the tier 3 boss.the kevin item sounds stupid too, where its like a 25% chance for the item to "hit" you (but it cant kill you) when you hit an enemy. so, what, this is supposed to just synergize with gold gained on hit and the static discharge item? thats fucking awful.
>>722502665It's almost like modern indies are similar to the passion projects of the 90s that had games become popular in the first place. Meanwhile AAA tries to minmax earnings and chase gaming trends instead of innovation
AAA>expensive and bloated>all cutscenes, no gameplay>retarded hardware requirements indie>cheap and compact>maximum gameplay>can run on anythinggacha>f2p whale bait>all cutscenes, no gameplay>can run on anythingAAA must die out soon
