What's your game idea anon?
>>580596656diablo loop in valheim
You are back to being 20 years old and you hear God tell you "you won't ever have sex again until you finish a successful MMO". How would you go about doing this, in the shortest amount of time, so you can get laid again? What would you focus on? Programming skills? Social skills to get a job at a big game company or secure funding from publishers? Just make as much money as possible in 10 years at a high paying job and then hire a team yourself?
>>580596930shut the fuck up
>>580596930lol
>>580596930>20 years old>you won't ever have sex again>againyeah, wrong number, God
>>580596930Do I keep my current skills and knowledge? I could just make one
>>580596985Just tell me what's the shortest *realistic* path to making a MMO and nobody gets hurt.
>>580597179Buy an MMO template off of whatever asset store.
>>580596930I never make an MMO and I never have sex again, easy solution.
>wake up>see what claude cooked over night>write some more prompts>jerk off to domino presley>start a couple agents to continue working on my game>hit the gym
>>580596930>>580597152Problem is there’s been like 3 successful MMOs in history. All of them released before 2005.
>>580597363the only part of that I believe is>jerk off to domino presley
>>580597558>doesn't believe he woke up
>>580597512A lot of games made "good money", they just didn't make "good money forever", and with ever increasing profits each year the way investors and publishers dream of. TERA and Blade & Soul never reached mainstream popularity but they still made good money for a time, until enough mismanagement accumulates to make it no longer bring a profit. Albion as well.
i think motivation is very simple. there just has to be a reward or something having "a point"/meaning. since ai exists now as it is, i have almost 0 motivation to learn any programming anymore. cause it feels more pointless.not sure why we need to have those ideas of "passion", "enjoying doing" etc. - they are very unnatural anyways. in nature i fish to eat, i mine resources to to craft/build, i build for shelter, i communicate to cooperate, i reproduce to expand. i do everything cause it has a benefit. doing something just to "do it" sounds like communism, where you dig a hole just to look busy. it's completely dumb. if something is not beneficial there's not point of it. and ofc that kills motivation.
>>580597824What's your Game?
>>580597512Ok, but enough about the text-based browser MMORPG "The Crims".
>>580597512eq, asherons, osrs, ffxiv, gw1 + 2, aion, ro, maplestory, dfo, eq2, wizard101, flyff, bdo, lost ark, c9, grand chase, grand fantasia, elsword, eve, priston tale, lotro, dnd online. wow, mu online, ffxi. dqxYou niggas are so dumb
>>580597824In medieval japan they used to torture prisoners to break their spirit by forcing them to dig holes during the day, and then make them cover them back up at night. I think about that whenever I have to remove a feature I've just spent a couple of days implementing. Or when I cancel a project and start a new one.
ok so if i treat gamedev as a job, i just quit immediately cause i don't get paid monthly?
>>580598117Just pay yourself?
you dont make a game to make money, you make a game cause you have 10 million dollars and want to invest it to turn it into 50 million dollars.
