If no one bought it, no one can know if its awful or good.
who are you personally attacking making this thread? is anyone but you and the person you're targeting allowed to know?
>>726374635you link to the steam page here for us to gawk and ohh at
i bought it but thought it was trash so i refunded it
>>726374635how long has it been on sale?
>>726374635Just make another game lol
>>726374830a year in early access and a couple months full release
>>726374635Move on to the next one and do better.
tell us why you think someone should buy your game
>>726374851>a year in early accessdid you do any updates to keep the game fresh?
>>726374926it's a good game
>>726374635I doubt it's statistically possible
>>726374979what makes you think it's a good game?
>>726374979what do you do in it?
>>726375049Stuff
>>726375092this poster is not meplease do not trust anything that it says
>>726375092like... do you jump?
>>726374979Maybe it's not as good as you think Maybe you did a poor job selling it to people.You should try again, make a new game, and try to learn from your experience devloping your first game and improve as a developer. Did anyone give you any feedback? Did you take any of that into consideration?
>/v/: "there's no good games anymore, AAA shit sucks, people need to make good games">go and try to make a good game on your own as an indie>nobody buys your game>/v/ ends up playing the AAA shit anyways
>>726375234The two most popular games this year were indie shit, and there are plenty of other indie games that get shilled here and or recommended by others. What AAA shit is anyone playing right now? Hollow Knight and Deltarune were the two most popular games all year. Can you really not do better than Toby Fox? Of course you can't, because you're a punk.
>>726375268Anon this looks very rough around the edges. Why are you surprised that it's not a hit? What is the experience you're offering here? Why should people play your game? Is it fun?
>>726375358you save the scientist and explore the planet
>>726375268this poster is also not me>>726375358Its is not me, it just took someone else's game and decided to pass it off as mine. i told you not to trust it
>>726374635>how do i cope with the fact that nobody bought my gameare you a concord dev?
>>726375447I see well, the questions still apply. You need to make something truly impressive that's going to wow people in some way or another. What can you do differently? What can you offer that others cant? Or how can you refine the current systems to make them even more appealing and >fun. What does your game bring to the table. IS it fun? What is fun? How does one make a game fun? Are you doing the bare minimum to advertise your game i.e. making trailers/demos and giving it away to streamers or posting on social media?
>>726375490Your IP is not the same as the OP. A really bad job at falseflagging.
>>726375561wtf, how can you see my IP? please dont send me a mailbomb
>>726375157ok, can you at least share the genre?
>>726375187Jump? No you can fly, as far as the eye can see.See that mountain? You can fly to it.
>>726375839fps
>>726375946does it have creative enemies or guns? or do the enemies just walk towards you and you have variations of raycast guns?
>>726376140im really curious about your game, can you post it so we ca talk about it?
>>726374635I don't fucking know, man
>>726376245thanks, il wait for it
>>726376140is it a horror game?
>>726376956no
>>726374635Do you need someone else to affirm that you exit?
>>726377004Is it Colonel Mustard in the Garden with the Knife?
>>726377270retard
>>726377331no
>>726377331https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpmR0oWvxkQ
>>726374635Try sending death threats to all the streamers who refused to play your game
>>726377004hmmm, i assume its not VR, not free to play and it has almost no reviews, released more than 1 or 2 months ago but less than a yearyou can stealth so i also assume that crosses out games that look like they have default monster behavioris it this?https://store.steampowered.com/app/3382820/Stealth_Strike/
>>726377405kino
>>726377682no
>>726374635im not saying your game is this>>726377682but if you have something that looks like this, it just looks uninspired and not intruiging as a potential buyer
>>726374635learn marketing or pay someone else to do it for you, shilling is 90% of success these days, there is no way around it
>>726377923here you have a similar looking game, but with 2000 reviews. the style and tastes of the creator seems very well developed and shines trough in the gamehttps://store.steampowered.com/app/2971610/HOLE/you probably need to develop yourself, keep doing what you like, read some books on themes you find interesting, fictional or real stories
>>726375268Im guessing this is a troll post but if its not let me give you some advice, these games are not good enough to be released on steam or even anywhere at all, the production quality is so low that I'm surprised its possible in this day and age, if you want to make games and have them sell you need to put in the effort (even games with effort behind them don't necessarily sell)If you want to continue making games, download the unreal engine/game maker etc and learn to use it, it will be easier than whatever program your using and by default will look better
>>726374635do you mean "nobody" or literally 0 people
>>726378385only 45 copies sold
>>726378483that is not bad for a first attempt, I don't think you understand how many games most people make before they achieve "success".i've put out over 40 games of various sizes selling between 20-10,000 copies for different ones and I made dozens of very small free games before that and made mods for years before thatI don't think 45 copies is bad for a first game.What do you want out of making games? are you looking to do it as a career? to just make what you want to make? for recognition?You don't need to cope with anything, you should have learned a lot making it and know you can do better next time, what your take away from it should be really depends on why you made it in the first place.
>>726378674>What do you want out of making games?money
>>726378713this anon is not me. >>726378674i wanted a community and people to play my game
>>726375561is there an extension that adds ids?
>>726378739>recognitionthen just keep at it?depending on what your expectations are for a "community" (dozens, hundreds, thousands, etc) this is a very realistic thing you can do, especially if you specialize in a certain style of game you like.no one strikes gold on the first go, and those who do regret it and often fail to live up to themselves.
>>726378483Whats the game OP? here's the results of my game which I released years ago, most of the sales have come when its been massively discounted
Is he spamming this thread
>>726379085slaryman shi?
>>726374635only way to sucessfully market your game now is to sell out and let ecelebs fucking shist shill your game. what a dystopian industry
>>726379085how many reviews is that? i want to understand the review/sales ratio
>>726379141Yeah he's been spamming this thread and "nobody bought my game" posts in random threads too for a month
>>726374635Just do what everyone else does, blame transphobic white male gamers. And if you're not on HRT yet, start :3
hello?
>>726379234I wonder how actually good devs feel about utter dogshit taking all the good names
>>726374635Just make another game (I won't buy it)
>>726379317hewwo?
>>726379196>>726379141>>726379371Samefag
take a look at this asian cosplaying falling down guy tough, he looks so cool
>>7263791656 that count 9 all together, they say you get a review for about every 30 players.
>>726379379what are you doing in my house?
>>726379375Why should he make another game if you won't buy it? With what money?
>>726379490uhm, im shwy, pwease?
>>726379371Games on steam don't have to have unique names
>>726379085>its been massively discountedHow big were the discounts?
>>726379617wtf
>>726379669are you going to copyright skeleton?
>>726379617So I could make a game called Undertale and just put it on Steam?
>>726374635Post the game, I'll buy it if it has pretty women.
>>726379663Full price is $10 at the moment, sales are at 92%
>>726379763undertale is copyrighted, you could if you wanted to fight a big dog like toby
>>726379796Does anyone actually buy it at $10? Or is that where all the refunds happened
>>726379763In the same way that you could make a comic called Batman
>>726379796So you had to practically give your game out for free to get any "sales"? Grim. No wonder the games industry is so shit.
learn from your mistakes and make a better game next you fucking retard
>>726379875they wouldn't have bought the game anyway
>>726379763If you're Chinese, yes
>>726379927If nobody bought your games and you don't have any money, how are you going to make a game, and who will you make it for?
>>726380008Nigga why did you quit your job the second you started making some shitty game
>>726380051That sounds like projection. I'm not the OP.
>>726380092>someone tells you to make another game>HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A GAME WITH NO MONEY????>the ncries about projection one post later
>>726380162>/v/ is one person
>>726380008>nobody bought your gameswhy?>how are you going to make a game>who will you make it forthat's your job to figure out faggot
>>726380201I don't give a fuck how many different people you pretend to be, you answered with "uh but no money???" which is projection.
>>726380237Take a chill pill, sister, settle down. Maybe dilate too while you're at it.
>>726380278Sorry for BTFOing you too hard, keep spamming buzzwords
>>726380307You okay, bro?
>>726379848it only sells when on sale, A chuck of the refunds are from the launch when the price was $25 (big mistake)>>726379875It depends on the game, because its an unknown game its the only thing I can do to drive sales, I'm hoping that if it gets more reviews and positive attention then I can lower the sale reduction
>>726380358>just keeps spamming "you are mad" over and overKeep projecting your lack of money, makes no nevermind to me. No more (you)s since you think that posting on 4chan automatically means anger. Probably more projection
>>726380435Meltie
>>726374635Considering I don't know it exists I think you suck at marketing.
>>726380358>>726380452>BTFO'd hard>"y-you okay?? h-heh I'm not BTFO at all actually, you are haha"kek tale as old as time
>>726374635I've bought two anon games recently. Maybe I'll buy yours.
>>726380575>I've bought two anon games recentlyWhich ones?
>>726380575what were those games?
>>726379234Looks a little bare bones.
>>726380605>>726380597Assassin's Creed Shadows and COD 7. I assume at least one of the devs posts on 4chan.
>>726379763name it niggatale and ride the free publicity
>>726374635Steven King has a game?
>>726374635Why did you post a picture of Stephen King?
>>726380798lower the sale price and you'll get tons of sales
>>726374635Is it a $5 game you're asking $15 or more for?
>>726380671>>726380798kek
>>726380873>>726380714Stephen King?
>>726380658
>>726379234I like the visual style of your game, its very stylized and prettyseems like you could make very simple geometry and meshes for objects and have it covered by the shader, saves a lot of work.
>>726375268You are brown
>OP posts larp>127 posts
>>726383012Why do we need verified evidence that something is legitimate to have a conversation about it as if it were true?
>>726384341why did you bump this thread retard
>>726374635Have you tried making more games?
>>726384431I am curious about this point of view. Hypotheticals can be discussed and verifying if a vidya topic of discussion is legitimate seems like pointless effort.
>>726378483have you considered panering to the furry fetish crowd?
>>7263746351. Release heartfelt passion project, sell zero copies<--- you are here2. Release roguelite metroidvania card battler with micro transactions
>>726374635post your game, I'll buy it if it's under 20 quid, I sold a bunch of old csgo cases recently for like 400 euro
>>726374635You should be asking how you should cope with the fact that your game is fucking garbage.
>>726386753You seem to know what game OP made. What is it?
>>726384431bumping for this guy
>>726386897I don't need to know what game it is. If nobody bought it then it's shit, isn't it? That should be pretty self explanatory.
1000 people boughted my game but it was still a flop
>>726388076>I don't need to know what game it is.Then how do you know?
>>726388327I just told you dumbass.
>>726388557That's an assumption not a fact retard
>>726385285>make heartfelt passion project.... for money
>>726374635you get to work on your next gameif you became an indie dev expecting your first game to make you a millionaire you are fucking stupid and already fucked up
>>726388760>uhnnnnh facts??Shut the fuck up snot eater.
>>726392785I accept your concession.
>>726389496I am passionate for having money
>>726387712who?
Only reason to make a game in 2025 is because you derive satisfaction from it. There are probably other things you could be doing that are both satisfying and profitable thoughever.
>>726374635did you advertise itdid you ask a publisher to advertise for you and get raped?did you pay a streamer to stream it
hushcrasher.substack.com/p/taxonomy-of-gamesread this OPrelevant to you:>Of course, not all games are created equal. Many are never played; in fact, 4 out of 10 games released in 2024 haven't even received ten reviews. Some are likely bad, but most are certainly just less visible, lost in the overwhelming flood of competing titles. This is where the real picture comes in: Kei games have definitely swamped the market, but they haven't exactly taken away the sales. If there's competition, it’s among Kei games themselves. What we're seeing is an almost perfect split: each segment claiming a quarter of the market.>With a flood of new games and no change in market share, the median revenue per game collapsed by an astounding 97%—from $80k in 2012 to below $3k in 2018'kei game' is the author's term for games below a certain budget/games with very few credited staff. i would guess your game falls under this. the second quote i posted shows how the steam greenlight changes affected avg revenue. as the author says, it's not that the huge bevy of kei games competes with AA or AAA, but rather they cannibalize each other.
