HOPE YOUR HAPPY NOWANOTHER DREAM DESTROYED
>>738617045oooooooooooooooooohnobody gives a shit~
LOL i searched up the game and already had it on my ignore list
don't caredidn't askyou're brown
sorry bro should've put tomboy feet in and had your huevela friends shill it
>>738617045>the explorator >doesnt explore
>>738617045maybe don't make it an FPS in an already saturated-to-shit fieldmaybe you could try meeting people's expectationsmake it a cozy walking sim

What’s the point of this thread
>>738617828To have a good time
>>738617045prelude to using AI
>>738617828what is the point of this post
>>738617997what is
>>738617045Just checked the steam page the trailer is jarring as fuck
>>738617828dev trying to "apologize" for giving up and taking people's money without finishing the game or giving refunds and wording it in such way that the retards who bought the game would not catch on.This is fucking why I never buy early access games, this shit is way more common than you can imagine.
Damn, the original mouse pi for hireI was probably the only guy interested in this>>738618204Also this, fuck early access
>>738617045>look at screenshots>nice art style and environments>look at video>FPS with out of place 2D animation and weird yellingOk yeah, I can see why this flopped
>>738618204Yeah, I'm hesitant about Pink Noise. It looks pretty good. But the developers claim it will take 3-5 years to finish? A visual novel? And I know you always under-estimate things so it'll be more than five years. Maybe I should just pirate it.https://store.steampowered.com/app/2885810/Pink_Noise/
>>738617121>ignoring gamesfor what purpose? discovery queue never shows you the same game twicedoes it hide it from activity feed? i might need to do that for deadlock if so
A bit of a shame but i'm not surprised.
This game had a demo before and I found it to be ass. When it announced it was doing Early Access, I lost all interest. He definitely should consider changing it to a puzzle exploration game because that's simpler to design.
>>738617045>every project must succeedTiktok has melted everyone's brains. Accept it, deliver the bare minimum and move on. You went all in and lost the bet.
>>738618413I usually do it for games I bought on GoG. Or games I hate
>>738618363It should not take five years to finish an indie game like that. The game shouldn't be in early access until it goes into a playable beta version. Anything that far out is 100% a scam. Slay the Spire 2 is a game that you could buy right now and play it for 200 hours and feel like you got your money worth and they have given a release for next summer. If it's going to take your ass five years to release, then you shouldn't be taking money for it and it should just be a free demo. Five years is a long fucking time
>>738618204I haven't actually had this happen to me. All the shit I bought on early access escaped it at some point or another.
>>738617045Why do retards cheer on gaming failures?Shouldn't you want more games doing well?
>>738618413i use it to train the algorithm to stop showing me porn games just because "other who played skyrim also played femboy butthole survival sim 23".
>>738618542>hollow knightbased
>>738618714You say that but if you ever go to the steam store and click the search bar the first things shown up will be a bunch of low quality pornography games because they're trending.
>>738618693We want GOOD games doing well. Well a game is obviously shit we're not going to still pat the developer on the head and give them a gold star and juice box. No, fuck that, make a better game
>>738618204>early access game said it would be in ea for a year or maybe two>6 years go by and it's still ea and they changed it to "it'll release when it's ready"the early access tag on steam was actually a mistake. these devs release their unfinished games, get the tiny paycheck, and lose motivation to actually finish what they promised.
>>738617045A lot of people make shitty games and release them cause they feel like it. If you hype yourself up into believing your little passion project is going to go viral, that's your own fault.
>>738618834Steam really suppresses how popular those gooner games really are. I don't doubt those are selling more than anything else and they just have to exclude them or else the entire front page will be porn, even if you have no filters on
>>738617045
>>738618413>for what purpose? discovery queue never shows you the same game twiceit doeseven with thousands of games ignored, it does
>>738618891I swear steam needs to start holding these nigger devs accountable.
>>738617263cared enough to replynobody asked youyou're green
>>738618204Strange, every early access game I've ever bought has always come out fully finishedMaybe I just know how to pick good games coupled with good developers
>>738618945so that's even more reason to never use the ignore button
>>738617045>my game is shit?>no, no, the early access is to blame
>>738619162the ignored games don't get shown again though
>>738618413I do it as a personal note, for pretty much moments like this>see game first time>holy shit there is a 0% chance that this game will ever be good>i will ignore it and forget about it completely, so that if i stumble upon it again, i don't have to try to remember anything about it - i already knew it was trash once
The number of games that succeed is almost nothing compared to the sheer amount of games that are released every day. Making games for profit (a publisher? Really?) instead of making them for the fun of it shows that this dev is incredibly naive.
>>738617045i didn't do anything
>>738619129>>738618687well you are going to wait years for a crumb of games worth playing if you don't at least try finding new games on top. My advice? Put the early access and unreleased games in wishlist and forget about them until once in a while you check and see if some are finally fully released, if not, keep waiting while doing something else.
>>738617045I'm begging devs everywhere, PLEASE don't do this. People abhor weakness and pathetic "woe is me" pity parties more than almost anything. You're basically committing social suicide and no one is going to take you seriously afterwards. There's a difference between being direct and transparent with your audience and lamenting why you're such a failure and nothing you ever do works blah blah blah. Have some decorum for goodness sake
>>738618542this, I ignore games I bought through GOG, have on my other platforms like EGS or PS5, or have pirated. No use seeing them if I already have them. I also planned to have non-steam links to each of the exe files on my computer so it would show in one place, but I'm too lazy to put it all together
>>738618693Nothing is more fun and engaging as a communal activity online than kicking people while they're down
>>738619437Joy does tend to come across better.
>>738619437>be upfront and honest about why you think your game failed>anon gets the ick
>>738619625>ClaraI guess she's moved on from installing hacks on unsuspecting streamer's PCs
>>738617045Respect for trying to come to terms with why it might have failed and laying it out instead of just bitching about X or Y like a concord dev
>>738619437At least he is trying to fix the game, rather than just giving up on it like many, many Early Access projects.
>>738619129I thought double fine was a good developer and then they fucked me over with space base df9
how do people not know their game will fail before even trying? you have no new ideas and no institutional backing
>>738619437stfu cunt
>>738618542I dont understand the concept of ignoring Condemned Criminal Origins. Thats one of the best spoopy action games and it doesn't have any obnoxious fanbase...
>>738619682Who?
>>738617045welp, if its any consolation it probably still had more game inside than mixtapeso automatic 10/10 -ign
>>738618204i had this happen to me a single time with this game. i still buy early access indie games all the time. 20 bucks here and there is nothing.
>>738620186It's fucking garbage it's not a real detective game, you just get ridiculous Batman Gadgets like the Suspect Motivator Scanning device. Point it at a trash can hotspot and scan for the motive! The whole mystery is obvious from the opening scene to anyone intelligent but spend ten hours waiting for the protagonist to catch up! Also we included retarded collectathons. Run around and pick up dead sparrows!Why the fuck would I want dead sparrows? Nah. I refunded that shit even though they only charged 99 cents.
>>738620268this streamer got caught using wallhacks on stream and tried to blame on her friend Clarahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXmPqKDWQOA
>>738618542Wasn't Davigo supposed to be that game where you fight the dude who's using VR and controlling the giant head and hands? I thought it looked neat
>>738619625
>>738620391>20 bucks here and there is nothing.If you give 20 bucks to a homeless usually they are grateful, buy food and move on but some of them will buy booze, tell his mates that there are people giving money where you usually walk by and before you know it now you have 2 bums instead of just one homeless guy.See where I'm going with this metaphor?
>>738620463Game is about beating the shit out of homeless, murderers and weird monsters. You probably pooped your pants before you reached abandoned Mall center with enemies who look like manequins and ambush you when you arent looking
>>738620592no, because your metaphor is retarded. only someone as stupid as you could see where you're going.
>>738617351>huevelahuevos? oohhh! hue hue + favela
>>738620667I was promised a detective game. It's fine if you like mindless violence, but I'm not interested. It's action schlock.
>>738620685Don't give every fucking dev 20 bucks for half assed game or some of them will learn and exploit that!Why do you think devs abusing early access is so prevalent right now!? Because people with loose wallets like you enable it!
>>738620472Embarrasing.
>>738620740Did you expected Danganronpa like investigation like in visual novels? Of course if you start with a weapon you are only going to use detective objects as a gimmick between fights and exploration
>>738618693because misery loves company
>>738618204I still don't get why dumb niggers try to nominate early access shit into the /v/GA's or any other awards. If it isn't "finished", then it doesn't count. Even worse is that when an EA game does get finished, it turns into utter shit like Shadows of Doubt. Furthermore, it gets abandoned and never fixed again. At best, maybe some diehard fanboy will make a fanpatch, but that isn't the originqal game itself at that point nor does it always happen (more times than not it just doesn't, or at least not within a year (sometimes not even the same decade)).
>>738620865motherfucker i said it happened once. every early access game i've paid for was worth it, and were either completed, or are in an endless state of development, but still worth the money. i don't care if a game is in early access for 100 years if it's fun and worth the money.
>>738618474>I made uninspired, uninteresting, quasi-mobile trash with the most bland artstyle you can imagine in my unreal class>and I'm about to make it everybody's problem>what do you mean nobody cares!why is this trope so commonI blame universities teaching students all the wrong things on top of toxic positivity
>>738617045>stamina (in a DOOM like)>crafting>inventory management>no reason to explore like puzzles/keys/secrets>BIG levels with nothing in them>no monster closetsHe has to pivot, or something. It's not a good FPS, and his complaints about not being able to add deeper survival and crafting mechanics are a big red flag.
>>738620592Ok kreia
>>738621187>>738621774>i don't care if a game is in early access for 100 years if it's fun and worth the money.Your lack of self awareness, respect, money and time is dragging everyone down with you. Want to be a retard and enable this bullshit, fine, but don't expect anyone to listen to you when you come complaining about the state of gaming trying to milk everyone dry by doing the least amount of work possible when you are the fucking reason they get away with it.
>>738617045Literally who?
>>738621838don't blame me for the industry being shit because i buy a few early access games i like. blame people that play world of warcraft, or aaa slop, and battlepasses.
>>738617045I think it looks interesting, but why isn't there a webm or gif on the games front page to show the FPS gameplay?https://store.steampowered.com/app/1590910/Forgive_Me_Father/Just as an example, Forgive Me Father (a GOAT) has 3 gameplay webms/gifs
>>738621838Fuck you bitch, you're wrong, but I will think on what you said>Influence gained: Kreia>Influence lost: Kreia
>>738617045>cropping out the part where he says he's not giving up and going to rework the game from the ground upEveryone in this thread is a nigger. Why are you all such niggers? I can understand at laughing at failure, but you niggers are literally manipulating evidence to create an imaginary failure so you can laugh at it. Fuck, why do I come here?
>>738617045lol
>>738621838nta but a game is a game. updates functionally mean it's still in development. do you usually wait months, years until a game is fully updated and eol before you play it?if a game is good in its current state, it doesn't matter what the developer classifies it as. dwarf fortress was in "early access" for how many fucking decades?the early access label does not make something inherently bad.
>>738619437yeah bro it pisses me the fuck off. for example>follow a smaller tier youtuber for a few years>like clockwork, around year 5 or so video titles like “We Need To Talk” come out>”yeah so, people arent subscribing to the patreon, im getting burnt out on [channel topic], and im not earning enough money from adverts/sponsors”bro i dont care put the fuckin fries in the bag. make your fuckin goofy videogame essay and upload it, faggot. finish your fucking game people paid for, faggot. fuck these people.
>>738621989because it looks pretty fucking badhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dNTjwUtOZcthe artstyle is bad, the gunplay is more basic than og doom, environments are just big open spaces with no thought put into them, just enemies sprinkled about
>>738619437Tell that to https://store.steampowered.com/app/2768430/ATLYSS/ https://www.patreon.com/Kiseff
>>738622206Actually the gameplay kinda reminds me of the new Wolfenstein games. It's a shame it won't be finished
>>738618204lol Stoneshard
>>738617045Hes right about the FPS thing, it looked interesting at first but when i saw the shooting i was out. Sucks to have this happen tho but no one is responsible to financially support other peoples hobbies.
Whenever I talk about my game idea I get crickets or people telling me it's a bad idea but the game's story is about how I feel like an evil pariah so it's fine
>>738621962nigger you are part of it! That is not a fucking excuse! If you trust the devs and they have history of finishing early access games then by all means but just remember that there are plenty devs like the yandere dev who are more than happy to just to fuck all work while getting paid for it; so for the love of god please hold all early access games you are interested under scrutiny!>>738622035>do you usually wait months, years until a game is fully updated and eol before you play it?YES! Do something else if you are bored. There are other hobbies or even games you haven't played yet if you don't have anything else to do! Your lack of patience is the reason why both indie and triple AAA corpos think of gamers as wallets on 2 legs!
>>738622206Holy shit, how come all of these "woe is me" indie games are always quite obviously garbage?
>>738622656this guy is a fucking retard
>>738617828either >>738618204 or dev is shamelessly stealth shilling the game on /v/ just like many devs before him
>>738617045he probably got blackpilled hy the reception of mouse pi
>>738622656yeah, you're fucking retardedguess I should've waited 20+ years to play diablo 2 because they decided to randomly shadow drop new dlc
>>738619437The op didn't link to the post or show the second half.The rest of the post talks about how he is going to change the game going foward. The first part is required for context as to why he is making this change
>>738622781because they spend more time bitching about developing the game than actually developing the game
>>738617045>Explorator>It's an FPSYeah that's like me starting up Myst after looking at the cover art and it's fucking Super Mario World.
why do people not like fpsis it just oversaturated
>>738622781Because the type of person to publicly doom is the type of person that isn't looking to improve. Given the same failure, someone who's hopeful will take it as bad luck or circumstance and pick themselves up to try again. Someone who's pragmatic will gracefully quit and make peace with moving on.
>>738623143Steamies unironically don't play FPS games. Similar to how Mega Man fans don't play Mega Man games
>>738622206I don't find it too bad, but there's so many other shooters that it doesn't stand out enough.Artstyle is maybe a little too cutesy, like it's aimed towards kids. I dunno, devs learn the hard way that just because you make it, doesn't mean everyone is going to line up to buy it.
>>738622961>>738622868You know what. You guys are right. I'm a fucking retard trying explain to you even bigger retards the importance of being more critical towards early access games as well how much influence we as gamers and consumers in general have while voting with our wallets all the while being a on board with history of having retards with sub 90IQ! This is a lost cause and shame I'm going to be dragged down with imbeciles like you!
>>738617045>survival.and semi-open world aspectsSo initial feedback told the dev to stop being a trwndchasing moron and he ignored it. Oops.
>>738623685Is that a trendWhat high profile games have had either of those togetherI think they're just evergreen indie fodder, honestly
>>738617045>look it up>it actually looks pretty cool>and I love FPSesToo bad I'm on console so there's no early access option.
>>738617045> but were immediately disappointed after learning it was an FPS.Sounds like skill issue to me.Trailers don't show FPS gameplay. So why would anyone expect it beyond the FPP?
>>738620391>StarForgeew.
>>738618039you thought
>>738617045this does not look like an fps no wonder it failed
>>738624641But it does show FPS gameplayhttps://youtu.be/Ks93Sl1G4C4?t=68
>>738619679stop signaling to the world that you're a loser it's that shrimple
I was interested in this game precisely because it was an fps with a cool artstyle.Fuck's sake bros. Dev's a bitch for pussying out of his vision.
>>738618834>>738618930Worst part is they are all ai slop. Ai porn is so lame. PAYING for ai porn is absolutely retarded. Why do people pay for some porn an ai gave someone in aminute?
>>738617386Should have been a competitive multiplayer GaaS heroshooter desu.
Same thing happened to that dead space clone called Negative Atmosphere. Though that game never went into EA the dev has put up two vertical slice demos for you to play if you feel like it.>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUuGKC7qMgM
>>738625037>change the generic cutesy "sprites", make them into paper scribbles or something, anything that's eye-catching>make the maps smaller or fill them with more enemies, either way design them better so they don't feel like open cubes>improve the shading and lighting so it doesn't look like a generic mobile gamethere, it's really not that hard
>>738617386I'm not a gachanigger, but I'll say this for Trickcal: when the director realized his game sucked, he just went back and did it from scratch. Twice.
>>738623143It's not just oversaturated, it's filled with shit. No one tries an FPS they haven't already heard of someone else playing because every unheard one is just doing the bare minimum. When usually 90% of everything is shit, in FPS games 99% of everything is shit. Most of the genre is literally unplayable simply thanks to swathes of low-effort junks of various kinds, whether through bare-minimum asset flips in engines like Unity and Unreal, to custom engines with absolutely no mechanics to add any depth to them beyond the basics working smoothly.It's just unbrowserable as a genre. You can pick up ten fully random games from other genres and the chances are that you like at least something about some of them. Not FPS. FPS is a wasteland, unless you play one of the few classics or decent modern games that exist. People mod the 30+ years old Doom instead of playing new FPS games simply because it does things better than most new stuff.
>>738624687I am
>>738617045>ANOTHER DREAM DESTROYEDuh?

It wont show you the same game twice in one day, but it certainly tries to show you popular games again and again unless you ignore them(and even then I've had ignored games slip into my discovery queue, so I just stopped using it completely)

>>738619013There's a reason that Early Access games now get a "last updated x months ago" label if they go without updates.
>>738619679He's right though. Why would I (the player) care? Post Mortem on Game-Developer dawt kawm, not SteamPowered dawt kawm.
This is why you make games for fun and not for profit because you don't care either way if you get lightning in a bottle
It’s crazy how many people are trying to become game developers nowadays. Steam gets 10+ new games every day, and a lot of them genuinely look like the devs poured their hearts into them, only to get buried almost immediately. The market already feels like a complete red ocean if you’re trying to make an actual profit from it.
>>738619129I was so mad when NewCity got abandoned.>new city sim title>extremely ugly game with cones for trees>had some very good ideas, however, and showed a lot of promise>game starts to look a little better>suddenly all updates stop>a year or two later the dev comes back out of nowhere, makes the game open source with no progress, and announces a second game involving robots>robot game never gets released if you were interested

>>738627970It's not the market. Most of those games are dogshit, despite how much work they no doubt took. They would not succeed in any market.

>>738622206>artstyle is badBruh... turn your monitor on.Art style is fine, especially for a solo developer effort. Better than pixel shit that all indies nearly are.Arts the least of the games issues.>Big open spacesI'll agree they're a bit drab, if he had more enemies or some tactical thought into it, it'd be fine.The gun animation feels like Doom, so you're right that it's a bit more simple than the original Doom. I don't think it's going for Gore-aplooza like OG Doom was with the numerous enemies, but it'd be fine if there was puzzles than the drab/dull gunplay being the main loop.I don't know how he'll reuse the assets unless he's going to turn it into a puzzle game a la Myst or something. It could maybe work in that case, but I don't think the FPS gameplay is necessarily the showstopper.
>>738628521The average normalfag is entirely braindead and incapable of both critical thinking as well as pattern recognition.It is what it is.
ANOTHER EARLY ACCESS SCAM REJECTED
>>738617045I will literally never buy an early access game unless it is already in a state where I would be fine if that was the final product. Also taking a look at the screenshots on the steam page, why IS it an FPS?
>>738623604Forcing you to think a women can be a man because a video game says so is one of the two ways faggots multiply, so by taking everything literally he has defended himself by accident.
>>738617045After looking at the trailer I can tell why it flopped. The aesthetic and atmosphere presented is nice but then making it an FPS is completely at odds with the tone.
>>738618363I tried the game and the video tape is kind of like an evil game show with a spooky host like the cryptkeeper but then it froze before I got to see what the evil contest was going to be about.
people who never take a chance on a game are cowards
>>738617045>I've harassed everyone I couldWell that's not good...
looked it up and i notice one of the first things the dev says about the game is that its cel-shaded.its literally not cel-shaded. it appears to be normal lighting and shading but with some sort of outline filter over it, and then with random 2D billboard-type assets and enemies as well. its actually quite cheap looking and off-putting.
>>738618474Looks like complete ass.
>>738617045>making an FPS or first person view game in 2026nobody fucking cares about this, its over rated, over used, FPS faggets are burned out, they just want TPS games that are time wasters, one of my highly anticipated game is an Isekai rape island game where you can NTR the other people on the island or kill them so you can secure all the females. It also has crafting, survival elements. When you have secured your rape cave then you can move on to the real adventure which is figuring out what the island is about, why were you spawned there.

>>738637230yeah okay but like can you rape lolisor is it some gross gay hagfilth only game
>>738623143Not the target demographic of PC gamers. PC gamers prefer games with simulation, crafting, strategy, or horror regardless of how bad they are. FPS games do sell well, but it is only the good/exceptional ones. You are competing with the quake and AAA titles like BF2042 which are 10x cheap than your indie title. FPS takes a lot of commitment to get into while having minimal replay value.
Attracting a publisher AFTER launching in EA? Is that a thing?
>>738617045retarded idea.
>>738617045Dude should learn how to give bad news in a good way.
>>738617045Game looks cool tbqh
>>738617045ok. I cannot destroy this thing if I had no idea it fucking existed in the first place moron.
>>738631909i prefer retro stuff over poorly executed high fidelity workit's the difference between seeing dirt on an old cheap car and a modern super car, it looks awful on the latter because of how polished everything else is by comparson.
>>738618834says you. My algorithm doesn't do that shit
>>738620391Starforge!I remember when I first bought this and generated a map to explore.There was this sick cavern jutting from the ground.Stalagmites and Stalactites everywhere. A very deep and vast system of tunnels. The lighting of the flashlight in the cave mixed with the weather effects and how dark it was.I was in fucking awe. My PC at the time was dogshit though so it ran like ass.Then they updated it with some worm alien and eyeball monster and gutted the procedural generation of the world. Next thing i know its abandoned.This was the first abandoned EA game i experienced.Planet to orbit/outer space wasn't even a thing either iirc. Just something shown in the trailers.
>>738628305is there a way to show them alli wanna do denuvo too
>>738627530You should have seen the Domina dev crashout. He kept on going on about covid and trump which unfortunately were removed but the schizo ramblings were a sight to see. He released a DLC to the game and people were complaining about it and he ended up massively crashing out to the point where he pulled his own game off of steam.
>>738617045After reading that pic, my happy is now. Thank you OP.
>>738637587Yes but generally if you game is mediocre and shit you won't have any good bargaining chips, Big established publishers will either buy out your game or give you a contract like a couple million here and there and see how you go if you are competent enough to reach their milestones, one rare case was that solo chinese guy that made that FF15 clone that flopped (SNOY LMAO), generally they don't trust solo devs with this. Theres lots of scam publishers out there that will basically steal your game if you're naive or debt lock you so you owe them the game + assets and If a dev is in this thread, spend that money on a contract lawyer and get them to read it or get raped by jews.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kowloon_NightsThese guys do risky investments one of the most noticeable one is scorn. I think they are willing to take gambles on high artistic games that have potential but who knows what the their contract is like or what % of sales they will take when your game releases. They definitely took a massive loss from Scorn.
>>738617045I did that by doing nothing.
>>738619129I almost backed the Armed Fantasia Pennyblood Double Kickstarter but cancelled at the last second because I figured the game was going to be made whether I backed it or not and I didn't care about any of the backing bonuses, and years later Pennyblood is almost certainly dead while Armed Fantasia is vaporware.
>>738638359I remember this. He went on a ton of rants about mask mandates and how Trump would save everyone but also was the cause of COVID and shit. He got booted off of Steam just for it which I think is the only time that's happened to a dev.
>>738617045I don't know who this is, nor do I care
>>738618204if you actually go look at that post, there's more to it. they seem to want to rework the game into something else. will they succeed or do i have faith in it? obviously not.
https://steamcommunity.com/app/2015440#scrollTop=600read the full post and it's not like dev's whining. he's rather passionate here and talking about future plans. why are you doing this? is this some sort of marketing?
>>738617045OP can't read or is some brownoid ESL shitskin, he says he hasn't given up yet and is remaking the game for something that players are more interested in.
>>738617386>FPS>already saturated-to-shitname 3 non multiplayer FPS that came out this yearI am for real I actually want to play one. I think the last AAA one that came out was Atomic Heart. There are new boomer shooters all the time though which is nice
>>738633675Have you tried doom the golden souls 2? it's peak, first one is good but small basically proof of concept, second is crazy good with how much stuff he crammed into it. Basically it's if mario 64 was doom
>>738642697https://store.steampowered.com/app/3471890/MARKET_GARDEN/
>>738621684>DOOM like
>>738618204I bought Project Zomboid 14 years ago and it is STILL not finishedThey have actually taken out NPCs, and any semblance of a campaign (which were two flagship things that were promised) and never added them back. It's insane
>fps are uninteresting slopwow what a surprise!
>>738641270BORING
>>738618204He's not giving up tho. In the full post he says he realizes that the people who show interest in his game aren't interested in the gameplay loop he had in mind, so he's reworking that.
>>738617045I'm only happy when woke games or games made by woke devs flop. Otherwise it makes me sad
>>738617045>"early access don't work"Yeah no shit. Make the game, actually FINISH making the game, and I'll have a look maybe.
Enviroments look cool, enemies look shit
>>738622338elaborate
I still think the funniest Early Access devblog message I ever saw was the dev who said he was dropping further development because he convicted of a crime and being sent to prison for the next 5-10 years. That dev's life was the video game
>>738646112
>>738645641Just for complaining you have now set him back another 6 months, do you even think about what you have done, he has to take a step back and anaylse the situation created from this post, do you know how many meetings and mental health breaks its gonna take to dig through your post, you need to do better
these people are making games for the wrong reasons and i love to see them fail.
>>738646974>No it's not Welsh
>>738647107What's the right reason?
>>738627970>a lot of them genuinely look like the devs poured their hearts into themA lot of them look like vaguely cobbled together amateur projects with neither vision nor understanding of how it all supposed to be held together, let alone be entertaining. Some of the shit there I'd be embarrased to distribute for free, let alone ask money for.Many of the devs seem to view subjectivity of beauty from an awfully optimistic angle, and discard the notion of possible redundancy of what they're doing, while trying to fit their ass on chairs of both artistic and commercial merit while not really finding their place on either.When you are making something to be put in a public gallery, you gotta remember that it will be critically judged and negatively compared to whether you like it or not, yet some act as if the sole fact of them making it gives it some intrinsic value somehow.
>>738626652lmfao, this is literally some school project a team of 12 year olds would be able to produce
>>738648498stop being mean :(
>>738647932because the game you want doesnt exist
>>738646974>I intend to make thousands of these for my own collection and will not be available to the public ever
>>738617045>EAs are a scamNo shit
Was it fortunes run where the dev had to stop development because they had (and iirc are serving) an upcoming prison sentence?
>>738617828Dev trying to sucker people into giving him money.
>>738620463holy based>>738620667combat fucking sucks
>My game didn't sell because it's an FPS!The game I want to make is an FPS too but I plan on pricing it at $4.99 and putting a free demo on the store page, since I dont expect anyone to want to do anything more for a solo-dev project.This guy thought his game idea was so great that a publisher would surely wish to give him way more money than he needs when it's already published on Steam as early-access...
I'd pay money for an FPS game like Half-Life 1. Nobody makes those types of fast Quake-style FPS games anymore.
>>738617045>The game will focus on exploration, with the abyss as the main level and an increased emphasis on verticality.Verticality and exploration you say
>>738651314There's a number of games like that, I know Nuclear Nightmare this one lethal company-like inspired by The Thing had the main dev detained by ICE shortly after release for 4 months lol, the game was doing numbers too
>>738622162Lel the dumbass sub 10k subscriber youtubers are the bestThey always quit the day job far too early when they start making $100 or more a month and burn through any savings they may have
>>738617045>the explorator>doesnt explorate
>>738654012>then leaves
>>738617045>some random game no one's heard of flopsOkay??? Do you feel the need to report here every time a raindrop touches the ground? Cause that happens at about the same fucking rate.It is NORMAL for games to flop. 99.999999% of games flop. That is okay. That's normal.
