/v/ give me advice. My little brother is autistic and he’s been obsessed with making his own RPG game for about 4 years now. Literally 4 years of him tinkering in RPG Maker MZ or whatever version it is.

The problem is, he’s genuinely getting aggressive and defensive over it whenever I try to give him basic criticism, and on top of that, I’m basically forced by my parents to draw the concepts for him because "you're good at art”. I can’t even get good pictures of it. And he unironically believes this game is going to be the next Undertale or Omori.

The writing is agonizing. How the fuck do I tell someone who has spent 4 years on a project that a protagonist who speaks in the third person like a toddler completely ruins any chance of taking the game's "serious emotional moments" seriously?

/v/ Is this what all solo dev RPG Maker projects look like? Just mashed together tropes from popular games? Tell me I'm not crazy for thinking this is gonna be a massive flop if he ever actually finishes it? How do I deal with this without causing a war in the house?
>>
How about you just shut your mouth and draw the fucking pictures? Let him figure it out on his own.
>>
post some writing examples

underage retard
you aren't forced to do anything if your faggot little brother asks about it you kick him down the stairs
yeah you're in trouble for a week but your parents also tell your little brother to leave you the fuck alone if you do it enough
>>

>Let him figure it out on his own.
This, he needs to fail on his own. Let him work on it, let it fail, and let him pick up the pieces.

He will grow from this.
>>
>>736972421
It absolutely will be a massive flop if he's autistic and isn't constantly making various social media posts to hype his game up. The fact that the writing sucks is irrelevant.
>>
tell him to release it episodically so he can get something out now and see the blowback
>>
>>736972656
That's a job, and the person asked to do it has the right to say no.
>>
>>736972421
There has never been a good game made in RPG maker except for that EarthBound fangame I played a long time ago where you play as Jeff fighting against zombies from Resident Evil for some reason.
>>
It's a tough position to be in, being forced to help a family member complete a project you know will end up with failure.

Just go through with it, and suggest he share a demo of the game online. After the criticism he gets or sheer lack of interest/response if no one cares, he'll be forced out of his fantasy scenario. He either lowers his expectations or abandons the game at that point.

>>736972421
Kill him

>>736972421
>rpgmaker
lmao tell him to learn a real gamedev skill instead of tooling around with toys
>>
>>736972421
Sorry I dont have any advice, but I kinda hope it comes out and its so bad its great (instead of just being boring). Have nothing against him or you tho

Move out, problem solved
>>
Either it's a learning experience or you're wrong and it will do okay. Better to be a good brother and keep supporting him than throw your own tantrum. The consequences of failure here aren't steep enough to justify stopping him. Just be someone he can trust and lean on when needed.
>>
>>736972421
It sounds like he's low functioning, maybe he should be in a mental institution
>>
You're holding your brother back

White people have affinity and loyalty to their parents and family that goes beyond "are they useful to me?" and "is this gonna be fun for me?"

You wouldn't understand.

>There has never been a good game made in RPG maker
This is something every RPG Maker using fag needs to understand.

EVERY single notable indie RPG that is actually at least decent is made using Game Maker or some other toolset that doesn't have 'RPG' in its title at all. RPG Maker is exclusively for lazy retards who don't do basic research and Japanese porn game makers, nobody else worth their salt uses it. The only purpose of it is to get people hooked by making the most bare bones, generic style RPG super easy to make, and then leave its user out to dry by being otherwise stupidly inflexible.

The vast, vast majority of people who take to it have no idea how easy it is to create an RPG framework using almost any other toolset/engine that can actually be customized to work how you want though half the problem is precisely that RPG Maker users simply don't know what they even want and are mostly happy to fiddle with knobs they don't understand.

When I was a kid I made games in Cocoa. (lol) It's an rpg so it's going to be dogshit no matter what so just enjoy your time with your gay little brother.

Actually decent advice, especially if he says he likes undertale or deltarune

>>736973421
Do Jews really think whites are just pilpulling over the genocide of their race and don't really care or something because the Jews don't?
>>
>>736972421
Draw him cute lolis instead of ugly abominations like Orgock and his game will be a success, it actually sounds that YOU are the one making the game a flop.
>>
Stop being jealous of your brother, hes making a game and you are not.

When he becomes rich i hope he forgets about you.

Also, what shmup have you been playing lately

QRD on the story? Is it self-insert chunni power fantasy or ''I am 12 and this is deep'' kind of stuff?

yes

you're not

good luck

Just let it happen, This is an important step on human growth, The humble pie tastes best when you are defeated
>>
>>736972421
i do think you gotta let him fail on his own if he won't listen. sucks you're being roped into drawing for him. try to make something up maybe about being busy with work. if you can't believably do that, lie about getting art commissions. idk. think of something.
>>
>>736972421
you sound bitter as fuck that hes a temerary & retarded autistic chad and you're an insecure beta with self doubt and self esteem issues
>>
>>736972421
Sometimes autists produce wonderfully sovlful games, so there's a chance even if it's bad it becomes so bad it's good. Share some of the art you made.

That's literally not true lmao, the completely opposite is true. They cut each other off not only because of political positions but if a dispute over money happens they have a blood feud. White people are the chosen attack of the jews because white people hate human kind. theres no better shitbull for jews than modern white people
>>
>>736972421
>Just mashed together tropes
That's all forms of media.
>>
>>736972421
Since you're on /v/ im gonna just assume your taste in games is shit and whatever hes making is probably pretty good, either way, just let him make his game how he wants and he will see himself whether it actually is good or not. Of it fails he might try to blame you, but then you wont have to help him again so either way you'll win. Also tell your parents or him to compensate you, art isnt free, so you need to demand either royalties from game sales or an increase in allowance or something.
>>
If he's not paying you to draw then use AI.
>>
>>736976113
this is true unfortunately. Sometimes I really envy the jews for having such a strong in group preference. My fellow whites are just as likely to fuck me over as a foreign nigger
>>
>>736972421
Just let him make his game. He clearly likes doing it and he will learn from it one way or another.
>>
>>736972421
let him make his own game holy shit
>>
>>736977571
Then maybe don't force him to do unpaid slave labor for his brother's "own" game?
>>
unless he release something to the public then its not a game its just a uncooked exe
>>
>>736972656
But autistic people don’t learn on their own….they keep making the same retard slop

Proverbs 24:1-2
>Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them. 2 For their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief.

Proverbs 24:19-21
>19 Fret not thyself because of evil men, neither be thou envious at the wicked: 20 For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candle of the wicked shall be put out. 21 My son, fear thou the Lord and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change: 22 For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knoweth the ruin of them both?
>>
>>736976113
It’s illegal for white people to stand up for eachother, jews call it white supremacy, blacks get upset because they can’t team up against one timmy.
Anyways OP I think he should release a demo on steam and watch all the shit feedback flood in. If he actually believes in the game he can afford the $100 to list it on steam.
>>
>>736972421
Make your own game and you can do it your way. You can offer criticism but that doesn't mean that your criticism is correct, and even if it were, it doesn't mean the other person has to obey.

You're unironically more autistic than ylur brother if you can't get over someone not changing something despite you suggesting they do.
>>
tell him you think it'll be a failure straight up, but that you'll do some drawing for the sake of your relationship
even if he's an autismo it's no excuse to be insulated to the realities of life. if you're actually a mentally fit non-underage individual you should be able to talk with your parents about helping him deal with the criticism he'll inevitably face when he puts it online, perhaps show some examples of what game developers face (no shortage), and how he needs a reality check now so he can better deal with that later.
>>
>>736972656
He will only properly internalize and reflect upon failure if he believes his choices were the root cause.
This of course hinges on whether he is even capable of taking personal responsibility.
If not, he'll try to offload blame onto:
>Collaborators who helped him with the project
>The tools he used to make the project
>The Players
>The universe generally
>>
>>736972421
Kids are dumb.
Go for a bargain. You will only draw for him if he patiently and genuinely listens to your feedback.
Not that it will do anything because, again, kids are fucking dumb and you just have to entertain their idiocy (while making sure they don't ruin their lives) until they grow out of it.
Should he ever finish it, make sure he remains anonymized. Last thing you want is your dumbass kid brother getting doxxed.
Also stop being autistic.
