/vrpg/ give me advice. My little brother is autistic and he’s been obsessed with making his own RPG game for about 4 years now. Literally 4 years of him tinkering in RPG Maker MZ or whatever version it is.The problem is, he’s genuinely getting aggressive and defensive over it whenever I try to give him basic criticism, and on top of that, I’m basically forced by my parents to draw the concepts for him because "you're good at art”. I can’t even get good pictures of it. And he unironically believes this game is going to be the next Undertale or Omori.The writing is agonizing. How the fuck do I tell someone who has spent 4 years on a project that a protagonist who speaks in the third person like a toddler completely ruins any chance of taking the game's "serious emotional moments" seriously?/vrpg/ Is this what all solo dev RPG Maker projects look like? Just mashed together tropes from popular games? Tell me I'm not crazy for thinking this is gonna be a massive flop if he ever actually finishes it? How do I deal with this without causing a war in the house?
upload it somewhere and let us play it, i'm sure we'll get a good laugh from it
>>3964515bro he's like 14 and so are you
OP let him upload it somewhere and see how it does. If it fails, hopefully he'll learn a lesson. If it does well, you can claim some credit for art assets.
>>3964515move out from your parent's home faggot>>3964525this
i think that you shouldnt crush your little brothers ideacould you give us some information about the game? maybe some lore or something like that?
>>3964515how do you expect us to give any advice if we cant see the project for ourselves to provide an unbiased opinion on what the flaws are?
>>3964515Genuinely I wish I had this kind of drive. I've never been this motivated about anything. I admire your bro, even if it sucks, tell him to keep at it.
When your little brother is kicking a football, he thinks he's going to be a pro one day tooJust let him have fun
>>3964515>Just mashed together tropes from popular games?Don't even pretend that the successes aren't exactly this.It's just luck of the draw. There's 100,000 timelines where something like Undertale goes completely under the radar since you could make the exact same argument about it as you're making now.The difference is luck. If people just magically decide they like your crappy art and your cringe writing, that's all that matters.
