How is that quirky indie game you're working on, anon? Surely if Toby Fox can do it, so can you, right?
>>

Unfortunately Toby used his formative years making friends and building up his talent through smaller projects.

I didn't do that now I'm 28 and it's too late

I don't produce. I just pirate and consooooom like the parasite i am

painting a target on your back in the age of infinite surveillance is the most retarded thing I can think of doing
no wonder AAA games come from an endless swamp of names

Lucky you, that's the one thing AI is good for in terms of game development. Not as in let it write for you like that vibe coding shit, but utilize it to make the tedious parts far more bearable.

it's true. toby destroyed his wrists by 30. anyone who starts a serious project later in life is doomed.
>>
>>739271248
that would be print a bunch of code to help making things easier. but then i would not get experience on other projects if i didnt try to learn its principles. fuck i wish i understood scripting
>>
>>739270797
I can't, I'm too lazy.

I sometimes dream of making a toku themed action game, where your actions/results determine where the plot goes. But when I think about it a little, it has a huge problem of "getting good means getting railroaded on one story path", and I'm too lazy to think of ways to get splits. Mainly it would probably be "Save group A, or group B from a monster attack", I guess.

Games are 99.9999% presentation, and that's the one thing I can't do.

Most serious projects are started later in life and you're still in your 20s, and you have the blessings of /v/

I don't know where to start because I'd have to learn everything first which I also don't know where to start

That's a cope. Successful people don't just start from nothing in their 20s.

20s is definitely isn't too late 28 is pushing it though

>Make game with artist
>gross over 100K
>Make game without artist
>$350
Fortunately i've networked enough to have artists that want to work with me but it took a 4 years of effort before i finally reached that point.

cutesexyrobutts started painting when he was 28
pikat didn't know what art fundamentals were until she was 30
a literal pajeet became a serialized mangaka after learning how to draw in 3 years

You have ZERO excuses
>>
>>739272612
yeah i saw. its crazy how good they got once they understood painting and detailing. hope i can draw robots like pochincoff or psy
>>
>>739271893
>>739272382
Omega truth nuke. Simply having good art, animation, juice and character designs in your game puts you above the majority of devs and gets most people's foot in the door.

Or you can go the shitpost route like Brazilian Drug Dealer, but even then it has to look consistent and intentional.

Why did you name the other two but not the Indian guy? Racial jealousy?

>>739270797
Progress is being made at glacial speed. My latest accomplishment was making the perfect sized rectangles and now I’m working on telling the computer where to put them on the screen and stack them on top of each other.
>>
>>739272142
just reality. you think tolkien was a loser when he wrote LOTR?
>>
>>739272032
No one starts from nothing, you have years of education and experience and if you're on 4chan likely somewhat more computer savvy than most people

And people will complain but ai, dropping prices and other things mean it's easier to get projects going.

But yeah most people start projects when they're a few years into adulthood, you generally need more support if you're very young or you're dealing with a bunch of other issues
>>
>>739272893
Why would anyone be jealous of a pajeet? Do you speak English because you're jealous?
>>
>>739271005
I wanna see it too.

He is desperate for (you)s will say whatever to get them
