Resisting low-effort AI slop trolls in the general is simple: do not feed them engagement, do not argue with dead-eyed prompts, and do not let them derail the thread.

Every single time you reply, quote, or interact with their bait, you push their garbage to the top and validate their disruption.

Posting original developer work, screenshots of actual engines, asset design breakdowns, and tangible game progress is the absolute best way to drown them out.

Overwhelm their sterile, automated spam with genuine passion, human craft, critiques, and community indie projects.

Remember that these trolls thrive entirely on negative attention and manufactured outrage; starve them of the reaction they are desperately farming.

The second you spot a blatant pro-AI disruption post, deploy your local imageboard's hide and ignore features instantly.

Train yourself and others to simply bypass the noise without typing a single word of rebuttal.

Hit the report button for off-topic spam or disruption according to the board's specific rules, then move on with your day.

Ensure the general stays focused on actual game development, brainstorming, programming, and mutual creative support instead of culture war distractions.

Maintain your focus on shipping your game and celebrating real, human-made artistry.

>>574714675
is that transhua lmao?

do you also have anxiety to try because failing hurts?

my experience and common sense tells me that it's impossible for me to make a game alone.
so what? just deving out of blind faith? hoping that it just goes "somewhere"?
is it ok to waste your life on something where you know that it will never go anywhere?

>>574717365
>is it ok to waste your life on something where you know that it will never go anywhere?
isn't this what wagies do? I'd rather dev, make art/music, start a business I'm passionate about, etc. something with at least a small % chance of making it, and where I don't feel like I'm selling my soul.
Besides, it's totally possible to make a game alone. Just scope down. Look at Miziziz games for inspiration on realistic solo dev scope. You also need to make at least a game or two alone, and one good enough to show your talents and vibe, before anyone worthwhile will want to work with you (unless you luck out and are already friends with a dev or have some other proof of your worth)

life is too silly to dwell on nonsense or live for misery in the name of practicality.

it's very possible for you to do it. but what do you mean faith and somewhere? make games to get better at making games and to explore the medium, have fun learning etc. that's life, that's living. you don't do it to get somewhere, you do it to be right there doing it. just like make game

i wonder if mobile gamings bad reputation is only because of monetization and other cheap shit. because being able to play video games on my phone isn't a bad idea to me, it's actually a very good idea.

>think through ideas and add more content to the list of things to add
>time passes
>get curious and take a look at the game that is similar to mine
>one of my major ideas is exactly the same as it is in that game
Well this sucks. I will definitely get accused of copying that game despite it being pure coincidence. I literally avoided it so my idea can be as natural as possible, potentially referring to it eventually to see potential things I can do better. But nope my idea is the exact same as theirs. Not something they can sue me over but I don't want to called a copycat, it was completely original! But will anyone who owns that game and buys mine believe me? Doubtful.

This hurts ;_; I refuse to change my idea though. This is what I arrived to and that is that.

Honestly I agree. These big jams have you do mini-marketing just to get your game noticed. Things like having a hooking game page and advertising it to the other participants... it's too much like marketing.

My monitor lives! This morning I turned on the computer and the second monitor turned on. It took like 30 seconds of blinking and coil whine but it's working! I'm very happy about this. It's been with me for 14 years and I get sentimental about electronics, especially since I'm broke.
Ate a high calorie chicken and cheddar sammich for breakfast and a couple of bananas. I hope I'll start working before 5pm today. In fact I'm supposed to start working at 10am but I just can't force myself to. Maybe today it'll be different?
86 days left. I owe 1700 minutes of work. Still working on quest resolution edge cases. This wasn't in my to-do list but it has to be done.
