>>539227219Gamedevs and Palestinians are the most oppressed groups in 2025, not the LGBT and Black women as medias would have you believe.
>>539227439can I do a twofer? I also want to put up inochicules but more leaning toward free for that one.
So many of these are gonna leave us and go to NextFest…

Around 100 games release on Steam alone EACH DAY.About 700 games in the week around your release.AAA release? Successful release AAA or indie, in your genre? BOOM you are done.Also, not only are you competing with other new releases, but the entire backlog of games on every system a player owns. :)Take all the "indie success stories" you can think of in the past 10 years and divide it by the number of devs in that time who have tried (again, 100 games a day, 3000 a month) and there's your historical likelihood of "making it."Steam cut, higher self-employment taxes, no benefits, no retirement, AND to top it all off: Your sales diminish over time, so even if you hit this "mediocrity lottery" you'll have to do it all over again in a couple years.>He thinks that indie gamedev can provide a sustainable primary income in 2025HahahahahaH O B B YOBBY

>>539230456nanite will fix that
>>539230467yeah, weg has extremely, extremely low standards. There are amateur drawn games that look like michelangelo by comparison.I think people into entry level fetishes like "femboy" it means they've yet to develop taste and will take any slop they can get.
I just realized I can make a massive H JRPG if I kept everything under rpg maker 2003 sprites, and make the H custcenes be 150x150 pixel sprites like Marvel 2.

I don't mind the meaningful whitespace garbage as much now that there's good tools that deal with it for me, but that made me despise the language many years ago.Now I think it's "fine", and the reality is that it won the interpreted language space, so it is what it is and my feelings about it don't matter.I liked ruby more though

Making music is not gamedev.A game can (and often is) played with music turned off, so it's at best peripheral to gamedev.

I just watched a documentary called Dominion (2018), and I gotta say...We must put gamers through all that.
>>539227219How do you justify increasing prices for a good that exists in infinite supply? It is not like little Timmy has to go down in the video game mines and risk catching the green lung to meet demand.
>>539235627>homestuck fans seethe over the superior game (deltarune)>space fans seethe over the superior game (underspace)Makes sense
>>539236104good games keep decreasing in supply, and gamers always need fresh new experiences, so games are perishable in some sense
>>539236042uhh, no. WebGL is bussin fr bro
i wonned
>>539236104by spending more money on the game itselfobviously a AAA game has millions of dollars put into the visuals so it's reasonable to charge more(the price is not based on supply vs demand, since it's art, so instead it's priced so that at a certain amount of sales it can make a profit)
>>539231835That's a nice minimalist style.
>>539235905He should have reskinned it to be anything but a space game so that the sim fags wouldn't crowd around it

Aspiring game developers (aka nodevs) who have yet to ship a successful game are the most entitled creatures on this planet.
>>539237670Bug Fables was an aggy game and that was pretty popular in 2020
How is using AI voice impermissible? Am I not allowed to replace it with real voices at a later date? What kinda fucking transer tranny logic is that?

I have decided to not go through with AI generated music... Trannies rejoice.
>>539238551Bffs flopping radicalized me, in the 90s they wouldve become Blizzard big.
>>539238721>>539238649What's the joke? I haven't been in the thread for months.
>>539238259lots of slop but also lots of great games. plus they're not decreasing in supply because games you haven't played are still out there which is why we're competing not only with new releases but also with old releases.
>>539238785The joke is that most people here are too dumb to see BfF for the colossal accomplishment it is
>>539238772It probably takes 2-3 months to learn everything you'd need to know about songwriting and production to make a passable soundtrack. 1 month if you already play an instrument, especially keyboard.
>>539238780it's why we should be making slop until we extract enough money from gamer scum to be able to gamedev for life without worrying about sales.
>>539238721This general *is* the banquet for fools.
>>539236104I have to go down in the video game mines and risk my mental health to meet demand althougheverbeit
>>539238785the joke is that it doesn't matter how much effort you put into a game, if it's for a market that doesn't exist then it won't work
>>539238949That only degrades the supply of gamercattle and we can't use them to buy the ludokino later
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1082970/Archaelund/is another fucking disgrace and signs that we're in the slop age. it should have reached 1000 reviews easy. but no, gamers want nodebuster and digseum and the hole digging game.
>>539239042101% convinced this dude has no soul
never kill yourselfnever give up
>>539239197>gamers want nodebuster and digseum and the hole digging gameYup. All unironically great games.
There is a lot of bait in this thread. Even the OP is bait.Unless a given game has value for society, or having a mass of indie devs has value to society, why should people care about having a mass of indie devs?
>>539239363all slop for braindead retards
>>539239363retard
>>539238905Right, cause I also don't have to do coding, the art, the design, the story etc. etc. etc. And I don't have IRL to distract me, retard.
>>539239434All slop for tired wagies who just want to turn off their brain and relax by enjoying their hobby of gaming after a long hard day in the cagie. You wouldn't understand because you've never worked a day in your life.
>>539238886>>539239050alright, thanks
>Playlist: 1 hour of Epic Dwarf Music>Task: Draw massive cock>For: Sex scenewe're in, boys
>>539239616If you don't understand that what you just said is the exact reason we need segregation of gamers then it's too late for you
>>539239413Creative pursuits of any kind have always been sink or swim. Video games, movies, art, etc, are all luxury goods. People don't have to buy them like they do food. If you want to succeed you have to bring something to the table that others don't and really stand out.
>>539238136No devs are the most unbiased posters because they aren't blinded by the sunk-cost fallacy
>>539239413calling something "bait" instead of addressing the point is retardedits infuriating to read gamers shitting on indie gamedev when we already get fucked by steam, pipe down tranny
>>539239607Hire someone to do the shit you can't or learn how, there is no other way. If it all seems to much for you maybe a different hobby is more your speed.
>>539239353Maybe change career?
>>539239830It's a /v/ subhuman, it's not a sapient creature. Please, just ignore and hide its posts. It's a creature that isn't aware of its surroundings
>>539239920no? just make gamerslop for gamerpigsTGD
>>539239746Successful market participants (gamedevs) give the market what the market wants. Unemployed failed-to-launch zoomer manchildren like you do not have jobs and cannot afford to pay for video games. Therefore, good devs will not make video games for you. You brought this upon yourself.
>>539240098the market isn't one thing
>>539240059Gamedev has always been where all the failed artists go
>>539239830Why would they be thrilled about a situation where they buy 100s of games and play maybe 10 of them? Where they are chasing achievements that are fake achievements, or even indicate negative achieving regarding their real life?
>>539239905>Hire someone to do the shit you can'tI am but I'm running out of money and my composer's kinda a cunt so Idk what to do... Idk if my publisher can give me any more money either, so that's why I'm freaking out.
Cris is currently requesting yaoi LNs in the jp lit thread
>>539239830If you really hate Steam and other game competitors that much, then make a game that cures people of playing games, and trick people at large into buying and playing it.
>>539240135The market is reflected by the Steam front page. Games enjoyed by smaller niche markets like broke ass zoomers who refuse to grow up won't make it to the front page.
I can't believe Hollow Knight: Silksong got away with doing a indie genocide. The Indie Industry doesn't deserve us.
>>539239749Would >>539240385 stand out?I guess you could call the game Samson game option.
a game where you suckle on loli toes
>>539240059>what happens when you copy an old indie classic that's simple but devs haven't properly capitalized onversus>what happens when you copy old big studio games that have complexity that AAA studios are still reproducing today ... but with nostalgia!
What you are observing is what happened when an ecosystem of zoomer gamedevs raised on the AAAslop of the 2010s completely take over the industry
>>539175538And after the 1000 tasks are done, only 2000 will remain. And after the 2000 tasks are done, only 4000 will remain. And after the 4000 tasks are done, only 8000...

>game flops because it's shit>blame steamlollmaohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissistic_personality_disorder?useskin=vector
>>539240801You are just a subhuman with no brain. What actually is happening, is indie games and gaming in general becoming even MORE mainstream than it was in 2010. So all the worthless normies and third worlders are now influencing what sells and what doesn't. Remember, most gamedevs today only make what sells. Blame the consumers for being subhumans (like you) and having shit taste.
