>Luckiest white man in the industry.It's still Toby Fox
So he'll probably get to design a few Pokémon again.
>>746043370no? tpci just handles merch shit. at best they'll let him draw a few cards.
>>746043275Not even close. Devs like Notch and Ape still mog.
I still can't believe this dude created shadow lugia
>>746043275Fox is a jew
>>746042815The pokemon company sucks so much that you have to prove how much of a loser you are to get promoted
nooo I can;t take more ice cream pokemons
>>746043691nta but he was designing shit for the franchise even after he formally departed (He designed the Paldean Tauroses, Tatsugiri, and Dondozo in SV) so I don't see why that still wouldn't be the case for WiWa. Hell, given there's apparently gonna be upwards of 300 additions between new mons and forms (I still don't really believe it myself but a weirdly high amount of leakers have corroborated it) they'll be needing all the art help they can get.
>>746042815His gen was better than scarshit and viopuke at least. It gave us Marnie
>>746043275Fox gets to beg to make tracks for Little Town Hero, James gets to be the fucking director of Pokemon visuals across the board, I'd say there's quite a big difference between a game that peaked with 11 players on Steam and the most profitable franchise on the planet
>>746044703>I'd say there's quite a big difference between a game that peaked with 11 players on SteamYeah that's Toby Fox's only game alright.
>>746043275Toby Fox is burdened with the most insane fan base I've ever seen. He isn't lucky, hes cursed.
>>746044984>No one knows where he lives or what he (now) looks like>He doesn't have to cowtow to their whiningSeems like a fucking dream
i thought t. fox was the guy working on final fantasy 14 and the translator from when yoshi talks?
>>746042815I don't really have anything against this guy. Plucky Squire was a fucking snoozefest but it would probably be fun for kids, and the presentation and visuals were great.
>>746044245>>746044703>>746045094Why are you guys referring to him by his last name like some sort of news article?
>>746043275FPBP
>>746042815>luckyTPCi is a far worse position than the one he had at GameFreak. All he'll get to do working in a position like that in TPCi is making sure Pikachu.png goes in the right place on merchandise boxes and licensed promotional material.This is pure humiliation ritual, he tried to go indie, flopped hard, and crawled back thinking he could go back to designing mons when he performed the greatest dishonor in Japanese culture by leaving the company entirely.
>>746045218The only fox guy I know is the final fantasy 14 dude, that's why I'm asking who the fuck else is mentioning in their posts
>>746042815>make The Plucky Squire>it flopsDid it? That's a shame.I remember when it got announced and it looked extremely cute. Though I admit I forgot about it as time went on.
>>746042815i'm in fact IS jealous. i would love to work in design department for game freak to design waifus and wicked pokemon, but sadly, i'm 4chani artist with low level of relevancy
>>746044664That was Ohmura, not Turner. Also, take's in charge of a chunk of the human designs nowadays.
>>746044245Not even, he was raised on some Christian off-shoot
>>746045154They updated it with a higher difficulty setting, didn't try it yet but sounded good.
>Luckiest white man in the industry.Other anon is right, it's NotchEvery other white man is burdened to keep working but Notch got a Billion AND gets to be incompetent
>>746042815Doesn't this guy live rent free in /vp/'s head as some boogeyman that killed Pokemon or something?
>>746045826They just have him on (negative) pedestal since he was the first notable Western employee to design mons in the games when the series started going downhill or when the series reached new heights before plummeting off a cliff depending on the player.
>>746045064>had to flee his home and hide all his online presence for years so people don't literally murder him for his work Not the best dream someone would want, though
>>746042815He only got a job at Game Freak because he came from Rare and wanted to stay with in Nintendo's umbrella, and if Nintendo kept Rare he would still be at Rare to this very day.>>746043691They also do mobile games and they want to absorb half of Game Freak and Creatures into the company in the near future and spin off from Nintendo's umbrella.https://arch.b4k.dev/v/thread/745909903/#q745909903
>>746046018Oh nooo he moved to Japan to hang out with all their game devs
>>746043878>notchhow?
>>746045826No Masuda was and still is their favorite boogeyman
>>746046048>https://arch.b4k.dev/v/thread/745909903/#q745909903Did you actually bother to read the article he was using as a source?
>>746042815At least he tried
>>746046162They want to spin off because Nintendo is forcing them to support their hardware in a market that only exists in the US, plus sales for console Pokémon games are getting worse by the year.On top of that Pokémon is holding Nintendo back, spinning them off would make them even more respected then Sony and Microsoft.https://www.gonintendo.com/contents/64060-game-freak-hints-at-pokemon-s-battle-system-changing-going-forward-says-pokemon
>>746046747Could you point to where they say that in the article?
>>746043878Who the hell is Ape lmao
>>746046960ConcernedApe, /v/ alumni and creator of Stardew Valley
>Plucky SquireI played the demo and almost bought on the Switch, but it was just 30fps and the reviews were very lukewarm.I liked the concept and the art style, why did it floped?
>>746046960Ape this nuts in your mouth
>>746047017It was piss easy, as another anon pointed out they added a hard mode but I'm not sure anyone has tried it
>>746042815Dragapult is the best pokemon out of a 1000 mon roster. That alone puts him in the top 10% of achievement by gf standards.
>>746044640No wonder SV pokemon look like shit, theyre made by westerners
>>746046960Shigesato Itoi's company, they are what Creatures spon off from.
>>746044984How else would his shitty 2D walkarounds sell? You need an army of retards to give you money, otherwise you would actually need a good game to sell.
>>746045218>that one episode where Scully called Mulder 'Fox'
>>746047017I just remember Plucky Squire being super disappointingI'd need a recent playthrough to actually remember my issues with it though. I vaguely remember it being super easy, not doing enough to make gameplay interesting, and maybe being too long for what it wasand it felt like it was made by a hipster art student type guy with his head up his ass but that's subjective
>>746047017I dunno if it being easy is really my only gripe with it. Certainly was one of my issues, but I think my bigger issue is that the game is borderline a collection of minigames that you only play once or twice along the journey that you otherwise spend having very simplistic combat encounters. I guess maybe it doesn't feel cohesive? It's also really short, and by the time any mechanics feel like they're gonna start being fleshed out a bit, the game ends.
>>746042815>white manits just "man". all humans are white. its like saying luckiest water breathing fish, or luckiest feathered bird
>>746046080>Be /v/tard>Make lego castaway shit-grafix game on /agdg/ threads>Actually updates it but not enough >Gets popular, adds shit mechanics for fun rather than consistency>Releases it as a beta and stops working on it>Gets more popular but also criticized>Gets offered a 1+ billion dollar purchase>Keeps at least 300 million from it>Retires
>>746046960The most PR friendly and respectable member of the big 3 4chan devs: Notch, Fox, and Ape.
>>746047367Fox is a tumblr dev, not a 4chan dev
>>746045395Nothing wrong with that, I hope it didn't flop too. It is a great game filled with amazing visuals
>>746044984>bohoo the multimillionaire has to suffer with mentally ill people buying his productsThe 20yo conscripts dying with a ripped open belly in some shitfilled trench in Ukraine are nothing in comparison.
>>746044245Damn, rolled the best starting class too.
>>746047012ConcernedApe was entirely deserved. Toby and Notch actually got lucky and had a massive boost from /v/ shilling. People would have played Stardew regardless.
>>746044984>He isn't lucky, hes cursed.Yeah, so cursed that he lives in Japan and hang out with legendary game developers and gets blow jobs from a pink salon. Are you niggers serious? He is (undeservedly) living the dream every /v/irgin dreams of.
>>746047328Oh right, lucky, not a good developer. You're right bro.
>He designed some cool pokemonsThis thread convinced me to try The Plucky Squire. The question is what am I in for?
>>746047734It's just straight up a game for children. Not the kind of "all ages can enjoy it", but really something incrdibly dull unless you're like 5 years old.
>>746042815I never got how The Plucky Squire got nominated for best Indie Debut when it was lead by two industry veterans and was a sequel to The Swords of Ditto.
>>746047907>It's just straight up a game for children.Oh the non-existing demographic because all of them play Roblox or some mascot horror shit. Yeah I ain't playing this, thanks for the advice.
>>746047593>so cursed that he lives in Japan and hang out with legendary game developers kek this only sounds awesome to actual manchildren. any middle class guy in america with a wife and kids has a better standard of living than Toby does
>>746045395The visuals are great, it's just that it might be the hand-holdiest, most boring to play game imaginable.
>>746048271>any middle class guy in america with a wife and kids has a better standard of living than Toby doesExtremely retarded and delusional and you are gay.
>>746044984That's why he shills for the Asian side these days. He'd probably be more than happy to translate his games first in Japanese before English at this point.
>>746043275100%. He can do no evil to the hordes of tumblrites at his beck and call. Jap devs hire him to do some guest tracks at times even though all of the music outside of his own work sound like shit. His Pokemon tracks fucking suck man
>>746048746>His Pokemon tracks fucking suck manWhich says a lot with how the state of Pokemon is at the moment.
>>746044245you don't say.
>>746048271retard
>>746047328Some of it is right-place-right-time but Notch made one of the most popular and successful video games of all-time behind only fucking Tetris. Something like that isn't all luck, not even close.
>>746043878Huh? Notch is just rich. Toby fox is both rich and living the dream life, and is respected by his idols.
>>746048834Yeah, the music in gens 8 and 9 arent all that great to begin with but his tracks stand out in a sea of mediocrity
>everyone sucks off Plucky Squire>extremely barebones game that's style over substance>tons of cutscenes>just felt like a shittier Zelda
>>746048914Minecraft is popular in spite of Notch's lazy ass.
>>746049016notch made two massive innovations which sort of qualify him as a genius, or at least as being temporarily touched by a muse or something. first was open world crafting, second was paid early access. both these things feed into each other and make your imagination run wild with YOU CAN DO ANYTHING. In terms of game design he's a bit of a hack, but as a impromptu businessman he hit two hole in ones.
>>746042815how much of a negative T faggot do you have to be to draw yourself like that?
>>746049297Dude's happily married and you're single, crying about his art style. Go work on your own T levels
>>746049193https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infiniminer he just ripped off a game that did it first
>>746049297He looks like that.
>>746048507No wonder Ninty picked him up
>>746042815>Luckiest white man in the industry*White
>>746049449>tall good looking white guy in japandude must have impregnated half of gamefreak
>>746042815Good, we love Golurk here
>>746049193>notch made two massive innovations>proceeds to name two things that already existed
>>746049438I know what infiminer is, and it was neither early access nor open world crafting>>746049738Which games? I may just be wrong.
>>746048160Kids abandoned Roblox because of the pedos that plague it, they all jumped ship to Donkey Kong Bananza and Mario Kart World like their adult counterparts.Also they never did mascot horror shit, that was all zoomers over the age of 18 years old.
>>746049803UnReal World had open world craftingMount & Blade had paid early access
>>746042815>gets a better job at The Pokemon Company International itselfThat’s not even TPC. The Pokemon Company International is a retarded brother of TPC. Just like NoA is to Nintendo.The actual TPC would still be a worse job than at Game Freak. At GF he actually created his own Pokemon and made the games. At TPC he would be signing off merch of Pokemon other people made. But never mind that, he didn’t even get a job at the real TPC.
>>746049971still making more money than you
>>746049193>first was open world crafting, second was paid early accessMinecraft wasn't the first to do those, it was just the most mainstream.
>>746045360most junior level staff at Gamefreak want out tho
>>746047328isn't he fucking miserable?also getting humongous microjeet bux and not funding even one fucking indie game is genuine nigger behavior
Will pokemon finally have good designs again?
>>746049449he looks exactly like what I imagined>>746049421in what world is being married better than being single?
>>746047328Hope he enjoys his rotten candy
>>746049421why do low T reddit*rs RUSH to defend their favorite low T ecelebs?
>>746050497>Turner designed ~30 Pokemon if we're being generous>out of more than 1,000>DURR WILL THE DESIGNS BE GOOD NOWare you retarded
>>746050679Post your T levels before you reply to me
>>746043878Toby made some weird pixel art rpg and became a world sensation, specially in japan. Notch made the most played game ever yet he is basically unknown.So yeah, the guy that barely did anything for the industry made it huge.
>>746045360A high up job at TPCi probably pays better than being an art shmuck at GF thougheverRemember the games are only like 1/3rd of Pokeomon's total revenue
>>746050562That display would be really cool the first day and then a pain for all eternity.
>>746050562This but with strains of weed
>>746050562God I remember going to the M&M store in London and it just stank like damp clothes
>>746048938evidence of Toby's income or finances?
>>746051013Nobody knows who Toby is. Notch is bigger. The Stardew guy is bigger. Even Yacht Club is bigger because they actually put out a new game.
>>746051653He's rich enough to live full time in Japan and not on a work visa
>>746043275>white>Toby Fox
>it flopsNo shit, it's ugly, just like his pokemon designs
>>746051787Fox is not Jewish, if he was he would've been blacklisted in the Japanese video game industry.
>>746052146I fucking wish, dudeThey're all over that shit, to the point we have the Dragon Quest devs complaining about "the west" in interviews, and author comments in the FF7 remake art book about how hard it was for the artist to fit into mandated constraints
>>746042815>>left Game Freak in 2022 to start his own studio and make The Plucky Squire>>it flops>>gets a better job at The Pokemon Company International itself>Luckiest white man in the industry.So let me tell you something about the business world.Someone in a position like his leaving to go try to do their own thing isn't that weird. Generally speaking these kind of departures aren't sudden and they're not on bad terms.
>>746052587The new Dragon Quest has mystery meat zoomer cut characters.It's fucking over.
>>746051701>Nobody knows who Toby isI don't like him, I think his games are bad, but not only he is widely known amongst gamers, somehow Japanese devs respect him and look up to him.
>>746044245>>746051787Toby Fox was raised episcopalian, you fucking idiots.
>>746052807this is just your headcanon btw

>>746052587Those are westerners (Atheists to be exact) living in California, not people living in Japan.>>746052716Debunked months ago as the lie originated from this very board.
>>746043275>tranny fox>whitelol, lmao
>>746051701>Nobody knows who Toby is.Off all the names you listed, Toby Fox is probably the most well known - mostly because Undertale and Deltarune are way more auteur than the other examples you gave.>Notch is biggerOnly in the sense that Notch is a huge fatass.MINECRAFT is bigger. Everyone knows what Minecraft is. If people are familiar with Minecraft and who makes it, they're going to think of Mojang first. From there they might know that Notch was the guy who started Mojang and then got pushed out. But frankly, he's so far removed from the project at this point where people will go "who?">The Stardew guy is biggerThe fact that you called him "The Stardew guy" is evidence to the fact that he's not, in fact, bigger.>Yacht ClubI'm going to challenge you. Without looking it up, name two people who work at Yacht Club.But also>bigger because they actually put out a new game.Do you live under a rock? Is 4chan the only website you to go? Chapter 5 bullshit has been INESCAPABLE online for the past month.
>>746053197That is the case, Scarlet and Violet only sold well in the US, it bombed everywhere else and even in the US sales dropped off of cliff where they discovered how glitchy everything was.

>>746047017It was just an artist-driven game that didn't evolve into anything substantial, just a neat artistic idea that loses its novelty over the course of the game. The same directorial imbalance can happen when a game is too programmer-driven.
