IT'S UP!!!!Thee best games of 2025 by Design Dochttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxvHOny6q8sStop working and enjoy some slop kino.
Make a videogame where you are a cute mole digging tunnels and stuff. Gameplay would be a mix of digdug, terraria, spelunky and stardew valleyguaranteed profits
Why indies don't get inspiration from menu, board, card games and visual novels, to make newer games?I always see they try to copy games that took AAA teams.
Why is Steam like this?
>>548716059buy an ad
>>548716059What game is that frog in the thumbnail from? Don't wanna watch such a long video right now.
With the upcoming economic crisis there will be no expendable income left to buy videogames. I suggest you direct your life to a different endeavor
>>548716328newfag nodev loser
>>548716154they do all the time Crisone just got GOTY last year
>>548716467Why are you so rude
First for lolicris
>>548714524I remember you, do you mean the lighting or the trees coloration? Regardless, I have no clue but that is one good looking tileset (the ground).
are MUDs games in 2025
There is one person I want you to forgive.This person, look at them, who do you see in the image? Yes, it is youForgive yourself accept all your imperfections, all your failures, your past fuck ups.Accept all the foolish mistakes you made.Forgive yourself for the time you wasted, for the times you didnt takes action. Forgive yourselves for the time you procrastinated.If you hold onto this negatives thoughts you will never move forward, let them go and start working for your future.Make your game
Eric came back out at the end of the night!!!
Is this a good idea?What if you guys paid me to draw rule 34 art of your game using niche tags so fetish freaks are forced to see your game and thus you get more visibility?just talking ballpark, 15 for a sketch, 20 for color, 30 for a full render character, and 50 for a single page comic, is that a fair price?
>>548716328I don't know.
>>548716836
>>548716154They do.Also,Do you hear voices or see things if you don't take meds? How does that work?
>>548716905I found it, it's from Hades 2.
>>548716826>flubbed it with the cute tomboy and didn't ask her phone number>flubbed it with the pretty mommy gf and didn't even try talking to her>sunk cost with my last game that I don't want to ever go back to it>missed opportunities to project hop>unemployed and this degree certainly isn't helping me>multiple missed opportunities at massive financial gainsAnon you cannot imagine that amount of regret and anger I have at myself. Though, I do work on my game, not the last one.
>>548717267>>548716826I did all these but also took a loan of 40k from my father that I wasted on an animator and programmer and didn't lead to anything, he doesn't even mention it anymore.
>>548716836I think Stardew is a wonderful game but I'm not sure that the music warrants a concert...
>>548716969
>>548716836The blonde with the violin is a cute.>no ringsEric pls invite me to backstage to meet her!! ;___;Would be nice for my games musix to get a concert but I didn't even make the music so it wouldn't hit the same. Does it even count as an OST if I didn't make it and imstead bought it online?
>>548716969fygoon lost...
>>548717648>Does it even count as an OST if I didn't make it and imstead bought it online?soulless behavior
>>548716826good post.

>>548717002I not longer have that shit since I was 7.What I used to see was like sparks during the night, like fireflies.
>>548716059>no games made by /agdg/it's over
yeah i think im gonna make an MMORTS in the terminal, top-down graphics only
>A pixel game where you play a cute little girl>but she has a claw hammer>its like PAC-MAN>but the maps are automatically generated from the sex offender registry>so the game starts with the predators chasing her>then she gets the claw hammer and chases them>and you can type your own address and play the game in a map made out of predators in your own neighborhood
Be honest, are the devs of Going Medieval Likely to sue me? I'm copying their game almost 1x1 except for character art. I do plan to add more unique mechanics after release though.
>>548718147>then you upgrade your little girl and buy her cute outfits>with all the points she gets from killing predators and men in dresses trying to groom her
>>548718423cute
Would you ever sell your original IP to gearbox and join Valve?
>>548718579Anyone who says no is a larper or clinically retarded.

Is it too early to set your 2026 dev resolutions?
>>548718743Valve Corporation is a prominent gaming company known for developing and publishing popular titles like Half-Life, Portal, and Dota 2. They also operate Steam, one of the largest digital distribution platforms for PC gaming, which provides a marketplace for game sales, updates, and community features. In addition to creating games, Valve is involved in hardware development, such as the Steam Deck handheld console, and invests in innovative technologies like virtual reality through their Valve Index headset. Overall, they focus on game development, digital distribution, hardware, and fostering gaming communities.
>>548718916I’m gonna make more games than anyone else in this thread.
>>5487189164 years of work in 1 year
>>548718743remember when Google hired Moot and later fired him because they realized he didn't have any talent? I expect them to get the boot any day now
>Valve has successfully convinced gamers they are the anti-AI bulwark against the likes of Tim, who want unlabeled AI slop flooding the market>Meanwhile Gaben encourages devs to use AI, actually going even further he says if you DON'T use AI you will be left behind, and valve themselves use AI to develop Deadlock all while refusing to label their own gameWe live in a society
>>548718579No. Why would I get rid of my IP that made me rich and free of the wagecage only to go back in the wagecage?
Just puttin' this up, don't mind me.
>>548719047If I get 3-4 good ones, I’ll do a quick director’s cut compilation on Steam.
>>548718579No. I care about my IP.
>>548718916I want to win the 2026 Mayor of 4chan’s /AGDG/ GOTY Award.
>>548719182they believe that after they grind for a couple years gabe will make them the creative directors of half life 3
>>548718423Cute and kino. Never heard of going medieval but I don't see how they could considering there are many games in the realm of this, everyone would have to sue each other.Did you make the little dust effect when they place the boards? Little detail but it looks gud
>>548718579>Sell your original IP to some of the worst devs in the industry>Instead of using the money to start a studio to make more games you join the terminal no games studio like valve as a low level wagecuckValve is the worst place to work if you care about making games. They'd be fucking awesome to work for if you wanted to make hardware however.
My IP is just a means to achieve part my larger goal. A private trip to the moon, to prove that the NAZIs are there, and to join them.
BUY MY GAME, AND I WILL PUT A GIANT SWASTIKA ON THE MOON VISIBLE FROM EARTH. FUCK MARS, LETS GET RICH.
Thanks to AI, I have finally made a game.
My game will only be available for download on my personal website, I won't let these megacorporations profit out of my artistic labor
>>548719148Kek, which route do you think he'll take if he gets fired?>extremely anti valve and makes constant posts seething about them>claims he willingly left (git fired) due too differences and claims it's a really great place
>>548719894Based. I might put demos on itch though.
>>548718579No I have 3 games planned for the whole saga and if even one is successful I'm using that money to make the remaining games the best I can possibly make them. I don't care about money outside of making better games/quitting my job to have more time for games
>>548720081I came up with 3 new games ideas, now I have to jack some drug dealers so I can pay some Indian freelancers to frame everything out for me.
ok Ai, make me an animation of a guy grabbing something from behind and throwing it forward in a comical, over the top motion
>>548716836he's well fed
If my IP was slop as soulless as RoR I would have no problem throwing it away but then again I would never have made something as awful to begin with
more like Risk of Aids amirite
I heard Hotpoo have devoted 2025 to designing hats for team fortress
>>548721685Kek idk why but this sounds hilarious>from mighty rich indie gamedev>reduced to designing cosmetic hats
I for one am happy Hopoo found success. He earned the right for self determination to do what's best for him
Hopoogames? More like Hopoolames
>>548720270Why would you ever pay rando indian freelancers who are going to use AI when you could just use AI yourselfMoney is only meant for people with a body of work you like
setup up a day night cycle with moon phases and latitude adjustment, i decided to make the moon a real object because i thought it would be kino and as it turns out: yeah, it kinoits a giant sphere about 50-60km from the play area (i dont remember the exact distance) and lit by a gigantic spotlight kek.
do not call yourself a solo developer unless you make your own operating system
>>548723084>this nigga didn't even mine the rare minerals for his CPU
>>548715636where's their fellow japanese dev Tōbi Foxu?
wtf bros, I can use grease pencil to draw me some retopo 3D guides.wtf.
Describe an easter egg in your game
>>548724093there are none. easter eggs are lame and detract from the overall picture
>>548724184ngmi attitude tbdesu
>>548722873that's cool but doesn't Unreal already have a checkbox for this type of stuff?
The world is so ugly. My game will make the world a little bit more beautiful
Maybe giving the player long hair wasn't a good idea...
>>548715636Literally whos. I only know kamiya and sakurai.
next feature will be very UI heavymade this concept image to get organized
I've been decluttering my physical and digital belongings to increase my mental clarity for gamedev. Don't let the stuff you own end up owning you
I'll go back making gamesI'll make a successful and fun gameI'm lovedI'm smart
>>548724035Unreal has pencil built in, as standard. Want to pencil? Unreal's your guy
So can codex / claude code just slot into larger game code bases now or is context still an issue?Been using it for webslop at work but want to hear what you anons think for those who use it. Do you guys use it for most coding tasks?
Your game is validYour feelings are validYour gender identity is valid
I have most of the core mechanics developed, just need to flesh everything out
>tfw the bug was caused by using != instead of ==At least the gun now works right. Now I have fix the issue with it sometimes not facing the correct direction.
>>548726121
I just wanna go back to being a kid again. Maybe Legos will do the trick more than game development
>>548718916I hope to be able to become a full time dev next year. If it doesn't happen then I hope it happens in 2027. If it doesn't happen in 2027 then I'll have enough money to quit my job in 2028 and never come back.
how do i get good at character design
I just wanted to be free, but apparently that is too much and it makes so many in society fume that you want freedom from the wagecage. Why can't I just stay in and make games? Do I really need to move to Southern Europe and become a gamedev/gamedev teacher or even South America and just be a gamedev except no teaching?>>548726916>then I'll have enough money to quit my job in 2028 and never come backTo the wagecage, gamedev, both?

>FEDERAL BUILDING ATTACK SIMULATOR 2026>w/ real federal building floor plans and NPCs employees from public records!>Now with California and Texas state government DLC!
Stop being mediocre. Start being good, please!
>>548728564I would play this
>FOREIGN EMBASSY OBSERVER GOLD!>Actual foreign embassies with NPCs modeled after real people working at foreign embassies around the United States.>you’re part of the stakeout team that has to identify spies
>>548728884I could buy advertising data geofenced in from the area around the embassy, and you could track employees to their real homes. America is the best country in the world.
my dentist appointment went well. I was not asked about my game (thank god)
>>548728564>>548728884>>548729358With a little bit of starting money and a $20 a month subscription, I could extend this game to pretty much every person in the world and have it compile models of their homes and offices on demand. You could guess who you neighbors are through advertising data and then murder them in a virtual world.
>>548728657It's hard okay!? I'm a circumsized American raised in poverty who had the absolute shit beat out of me it's a miracle I didn't neck. I'm not surprised everything I make is mediocre, but I do want to be better. I won't give up.
>>548728657Don't listen to this anon. Whatever you're working on finish it. A finished mediocre game is better than an unfinished masterpiece.
I need to sell 15,000 copies of my game @ $5 each to see profit.
>>548731170What did you spend the $75,000 on?
I've put about 5000 into my game. I will never see profit because I value my time at 500 an hour
>>548731458*5k hours
>Watch youtube video on productivity in gamedev>person starts talking about porn addiction 2 minutes in>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUieb7dDgLM&t=129s
>>548731996All 3 games he showed at the beginning just look like reskins of the same thing
I'm a pathetic loser with a shitty half baked game that no one will probably buy. At least I can admit that instead of seething and raging here all day like a delusional fool.
>>548731996>it's the dodgeking fag again>yet another gamedev youtuber trying to give advice on how to be successful with 0 success under their belt
>>548731996He's right thoughAlso food for thought, when you visit a porn website and increase the traffic you help proliferate the popularity of porn and porn is a competing industry to gamedev hence if you quit porn and drive down the popularity and lower the strength of the industry, in such a scenario regular people (gamers) would not be susceptible to porn addiction as much due to its low reach and hence not fried dopamine receptors meaning they could enjoy (You)r game more...
>>548733117What if you continue watching porn to boost traffic and then make a porn game
>>548730845It's true making things is the most important part. I get douche chills when that one anon keeps saying people shouldn't get participation trophies or be rewarded for just making things and this isn't elementary school or something. That's someone who takes themselves so seriously that they will never make anything and they are crabbing hard.
>>548733329You'd have to stop at some point because some level of discipline is required to finish any type of game, continuing to watch it is counter productive to making the game.
>>548732767He never said anything about being successful he's talking about finishing games quickly.
is my game's music up to everyone's standards?https://files.catbox.moe/u32vyk.wav
>>548732394That is fucked up not gonna lie lol
>>548731996quitting porn is easier than quitting agdg

SIXSEVEN
>>548734647my cmd window opened and then closed before I could read what it said
I just woke up all sweating from a nightmare and had the best game idea ever
>>548731170Maybe put more effort into the game to justify it being $10 so you only have to sell half as much.
>>548734647its good. though I want more off that baseline that I heard at the start. not sure where it would fit
>>548735141didn't you get the memo? solos can only price at 5 dollars now
>>548733117Many people indulge in porn because it's sinful and they don't want to stop sinning because that's a puritan ideal or something and that would mean The Bible is right or something, their contrarian redditor atheist minds seethe at the idea. Which is ironically something The Bible points out explicitly which is that some people just love to sin. They hate goodness and love evil.
>>548735118AIfags are pedos thoughbeit
It is time.
>>548735280A good example of this was that HBO vampire show where characters were having hardcore porn sex with victims then biting them and gore and blood during like holy shit that was evil I cannot believe the things normies subject themselves to for "entertainment" just to spite Christians or whatever.

>>548729685Nice. Stop putting it off next time.
>>548724564...ngl i didnt know that was a thing, oh well, i like my kino moon at least. maybe ill check that day sequence thing out tomorrow. my plan for stars involves loading a few star catalogs into niagara and spawning a bunch of particles
Other than this place do you guys go to discords or forums to connect with people? My number 1 problem is getting too lonely and going through a rollercoaster where I feel like I'm making something good, then I feel like I'm making a piece of trash and need to start over.
>>548736830Talking to other people doesn't solve that problem really even if you get hugely positive feedback so that's normal. Maybe you are making something good but it's not finished yet, that's the part that makes it confusing.
Added scripts to my Unity project that will up the quality of textures and audio if im working for steam and lower it if working for mobile
>>548738435Isn't that literally a setting in the import inspector?
>>548739305sh-shut upnot that I know of
>>548739380Oh wait now I remember, yeah, it is.But to do that I'd have to set every single thing manually.This is a code that says "Hey, whatever this asset is now, go one step up/down" and I dont have to manually input in the inspector for each one.

Anyone ever try to dev on a Steam Deck? With the dock, it works just like a Linux desktop, right?

Another AI model hit the tower. 's in shambles
@548743236No no no, not like this, AI was supposed to stop progressing 2 weeks ago. Xeestaars our response?
Today I realized I'm a narcissist. I didn't know, I just thought it was normal.
>>548743236my code base is too esoteric for it to understandall the core gameplay code is a stack of c++ templates and unions that are only decipherable with a long list of unwritten guarantees
>>548743502A narcissist could never have this level of self-introspection.
>>548743734nta but I think that might be a cope. I have so many narc tendencies that I'm aware of and that doesn't change anything. I'm just an extremely self centered person at the end of the day but if you look at my life it's not that surprising.
>>548743734It's probably just cause I'm an extremely handsome high IQ genius. Even among narcissists I'm just built different, probably just my natural superiority that allows me to be so humble and introspective despite my differently mentally abled-ness. Most narcisshits probably think they're perfect beings and are unable to be wrong, so they never question themselves.
>>548744103>I'm an extremely handsome high IQ genius. Even among narcissists I'm just built different, probably just my natural superiority that allows me to be so humble and introspectivelol based levels beyond belief
>>548744103Actually based lmao
>>548744103This is the type of poster we need more of in /AGDG/.
Me? I'm what happens when you take someone with all the potential to be great and then beat the fuck out of them and mangle them as much as possible short of crippling their mobility or killing them. Everyone in my hometown knew I could be someone special but simultaneously knew how over it was for me before I even graduated. There's a score called the childhood adversity score where you can pretty much determine whether you're damaged goods an I'm a 9/10 on that shit. Everyone knew it was over for me except for me, way late in my life I realized "holy shit things did not work out, what happened to me". Gamedev is the one truly good thing in my life.
>>548744605There are always gangs too man, they get the struggle and need people with technical skills. Easy money.
>>548744605shut the fuck up, faggot.I'm not your mommy I don't care if you're a victim or whatever the fuck you're crying about.
>>548744920Silence insect. You fear self aware humanoids with souls.

https://howtomarketagame.com/2025/12/01/ball-x-pit-my-game-of-the-year-2025/Zukowski has transcended being a simple marketer. He actually brings to light game design trvkes that cannot be ignored. If your game doesn't have this kind of loop, you might be making a boring game.
Timelapse of the last background
>>548746228>bro your game needs quick fun, a challenge and a long term objectiveWOW such a genius, we are blessed to have him give us such amazing insight free of charge, truly the Einstein of our generation
>>548746416what soft do you use?
>>548742123Thanks. I will.>>548742219Not kanna, but I just ordered one with a dock. I've been deving on a craptop (no dedicated GPU) after my gaming PC died. I was going to order some new parts this Black Friday / Cyber Monday, but nothing decent was on sale and RAM would've been half a Steam Deck.
>>548746428It is genius. Many games are not doing the outer loop like the building of a town or something outside of just beating bosses and moving to the next boss. And progression systems like increasing stats isn't enough, there are plenty of games where you are just grinding bosses and upgrading the player but don't do any real easy overworld activities that are greatly needed.
For me galduen has reached cris schizo tierthere's no point attempting to tell her about the importance of a gameplay loop over art
>>548718579After making two hit games with it? Probably. You really think they want to just keep making RoR games their entire life?The only major concern is the non-compete contract where you have to literally give up the freedom to make your own games.
>>548718630Everyone said no except me so yes you are correct.
how many game do i have to make to be big?
>>548747490At least 4, kind saar.
>Didn't you use AI to create concept art and program the matchmaking algorithm for deadlock?Yup>And the steam content guidelines clearly state you must disclose if your game features AI art or AI code?Yup>Deadlock contains AI generated content and if that's the case it must have a disclosureThat makes sense to me>Then disclose itYou're just afraid people will know your product is low effort
>>548747608benchod dalit i knou you are moking
>>548747715Look, it isn't AI art because he changed her colors and did some touchups, and code doesn't count because it's just text.
>>548747715if i want to disclose it, i will do so on my own terms in a devlog. You do understand the merit of not being coerced into something, right?
>>548747715People actually defend this too by saying>They only generated concept art so its okayLike, they're okay with them automating the part that actually requires the most creativity because they didn't automate the modeling work? It should be the other way around if anything.
>>548745161All vtubers are thirteen year old asian males, anon.
>>548747715how would anyone know your game has AI code?
>>548748295If it works they won't but the same can be said for all forms of AI. How will they know if an animation or sound effect was AI generated?
>>548748295www.aicodedetector.com
>Programming my game>See black thing on my arm>Think it must be chocolate>Try to eat it>It is a dust ballwtf
>>548747715>AI generated contentArt. Music.Writing and voice acting.That's the content where people don't want to see AI slop being used. You know this is the case.
NNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Just use AI, don't make slop, don't disclose it, if anyone asks about it ignore them. Until valve themselves force you to disclose it, don't say anything, then if people do see it they will already have enjoyed the game and realize they don't actually care.This is actually happening with numerous games right now you just don't know because you're too busy crying about being a victim of society instead of making game. Kind of like me except I do make game.
>Valve generates the design for a hero asset:)>Indie dev generates a texture for a background prop. >:(
https://youtu.be/0v5USPQ4ehEkino
>>548748421>put in my hand made code>says its AIWTF
>>548749081Its hilarious how this isn't even an exaggeration, they actually do this.
>>548749081>Valve uses AI in way that can't be proven>Indie "dev" generates undeniable slop and exports that directly into the gameCurious.
Progress.
>>548741025I remember trying out when it was still 2D only. It didn't have a damn circle collider to make a pong or Arkanoid clone so I dropped it
>>548747715What is there to disclose when everyone already knows it?
>>548750073The concept art thing was only discussed in a Russian interview with 14k views. The artist himself confirmed it in the interview but its not common knowledge at all.
>>548749312anon i have bad news
>>548750405>>548750809These aren't scandals, it's part of the normalization process.
I just bought and played 30 minutes of Vampire Survivors. What the actual fuck, it is so much worse than I thought, I was expecting it to at least have juice, but nope, it has as much juice as the base RPG Maker template. This shit must have been nepobabied or something, no fucking way.
>>548746428I got to agree with >>548746875This is a smart way of structuring a game. Is it obvious in retrospect, yes. Is it obvious when you have the daunting task of making an entire game, no.
Thoughts on my new capsule?
>>548735118what pedos?
It's kinda of sad what this place did to the word nepobaby
>>548753027your game?
>>548753027Nobody did that but you nigga. If you want to use it correctly just do that
Honestly, most people here would do well in hiring a professional gamer to vibe check their games.
Reminder cozy games are not real games
>>548753485A hollow word with no meaning
If your game were to win an award what would the award be?
>>548753663Most inner circle cultists raped
>>548753719Things went downhill ever since they left
Some say anything less than 8 hours is a death sentence. Others say 4 hours is sufficient. How much should I actually sleep a day?
Maybe with my game's success I will be able to buy the rights to this old dead game I like and I will remaster it so that the rest of the world can enjoy it
>>548753275that's fucking stupid. every gamer has their own subjective tastes, dickshit
it's been a year and i'm still not over my ex, he's part of the reason i wanted to make a game anyway, even if it was out of insecurity and spitei wanted to be a healed and independent person, instead i'm just less of myself
>>548754381See, a professional gamer would say you are being hot-headed and that it is bad for your reputation as a developer. If anything, you proved my point.
>>548754549You are a professional gay
>>548754045Let your organism decide
Scope creep is a natural healthy part of gamedev. If you're going out of your way to avoid it you're pathetic and you're doing it wrong
>>548754898nope. that's a great way to never finish a game. you daft dunce
>>548754898>>548754948both wrong (correct)
>>548754948You're proving that anon's point bozo. You're just not built for it
>Your project is too ambitious! Best to artificially dumb it down to more manageable levelsImagine if this had happened to every great deed in the history of humanity
>If you make a unique, high-quality quality soulful game it will be successf-ACKhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/2790700No marketing = No sales
>>548755365try reading one just one of the reviews
>>548755316We would probably be years ahead. Instead of 0.0001% succeeding, we could get it down to 0.001%
>>548755365looks like ass
>>548755579similar thought, weird game
>>548755476I did better, I played the demo, I stand 100% correct.
>>548755365>early access>action roguelite
What would a game with this feel look like?
>>548755726retard what are you attempting to convey to the entire general
>>548755771Grand theft auto 1 and 2 but in the suburbs
More progress
>>548754898It's about scope creeping as much as you can without going to far
>>548755871if your game isn't at least an AA narrative driven game it doesn't deserve my attention
>>548755930nope as well. lay out a plan that's able to actually be completed in x years and don't add a single other fucking thing to it. it's called self control, woman
>>548754898>>548755930Scope creep is retarded.Look at >>548755896, he has a basic game idea, he could try to add a bunch of cool mechanics, he could make the art better, add more characters, but then he would also likely never finish the game and end up burnt out, at best he would turn out like Boku.
why does this remind me of /agdg/ so much https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvIHUxQylhc
>roguelike>procedurally generated>[game x] meets [game z]>________ simulator>spiritual successor to [game from your childhood]What are some other red flags?
>>548754898nope. I thought it would be ok to scope creep a little, and then a little more... a bit more... oh this great thing is now in reach I'll creep a bit more. had I spent all that time refining the one main feature my game has I'd be sitting pretty.
>>548756245meanwhile all the solo games succeeding are exactly that, kill yourself
>>548756238i'm not watching your zoomer humor
>>548756380humor?
>>548756346And look at the current state if the world
>>548756245>fun>solo dev game 10 years in the making!>labor of love
>>548756238Because it's literally you, anon.That video is the manifestation of every "Director" who comes in here looking for a code-monkey to build their "vision" because they're too lazy to learn a for loop. He bike-sheds over non-issues (1st vs 3rd person = Unity vs Godot) to avoid doing actual work, needs constant validation, and eventually resorts to AI slop because he has zero discipline.
>>548756328same thing except insanely far worse with a mess that i'm not sure that i can fully finish or not but am hoping i will... the silver lining of it all? i learned a valuable lesson. scope creep is cancer of the anus hole.
>>548756346
>>548756523me on the left you on the right
>>548756458Both of the people in the video remind me of agdg (they are both nodevs)
He won, you lost. Simple as
>>548755365>No marketing = No salestruth
>>548756649joshua?
>>548756690nope as well. it's all a fucking lottery retard
>>548755771tiny terry's turbo trip came to mind. but it's not quite there...
>>548756523that anon got btfo so hard lol
>>548756716>>548756748you are dumb and have no game ;)
>>548751914clarity of objectives make it good, along with the constant audiovisual stimulation and RNG upgrade selectionpeople enjoy hearing sounds, seeing flashy lights, watching the bar fill up, picking a random upgrade, and repeating for 30 minutesit's a brainless stimulation toy for people who are tired after work and want to relax
Ever thought of developing your own special hardware for your game?
>>548756804uh ohhhhhh someone is having a meltieeeee
>>548756458It's every code monkey or even non coder noob who's never done anything creative in their life and just want money or something to fill the purpose void in their life so they want to make a game but they don't have any actual drive, idea, or interest in the act of creation so they have no idea how to start doing the creative thingthey want to be an artist/writer/gamedev but they don't want to paint/write/dev
>>548756520I added full VR compatibility only to cut it. :/
>>548756854yeah you :o
>>548756716skill issue
>>548756848i mean a bit more complex but i'd love to either make my own handheld or see if the playdate can add online multiplayer functionality to it and make an mmo for it and have a handful of people play it
>>548756612come back after your 18th birthday
