Thread 7786830

I'm accomplishing my goals with art. But there's nobody there to see it...

This is weird. I have full creative control over my own videogame but I'm not popular. What should I do?

you're making a game now, kozeki?

>>7786831
Yes, I'm very proud of it. But I'm getting zero views and likes online.

>>7786837
Can you link your game here? You can't get views if nobody knows it exists.

keep on making it
then hope it finds its audience after you die of starvation

is this potentialman kozeki or some other kozeki

>>7786843
his mentor was making games too, right?

>>7786840
I can't link it here because a users named obfgreen, beylego, nosebro, lurks these boards and they'll try to contact me again pretending they're my friend. I'm sorry but the risk isn't worth and distracts me from my true mission. I hoped you can understand my thought process anon.

>>7786842
Agreed. But I'm about finished. I'll just be as loud and annoying as possible to get what I want. I have backup plans. Like emailing everybody and fake drama to get attention.

>>7786844
his mentor was potentialman forma de polymath

>>7786844
>>7786847
My mentor is anonx whose unfortunately passed away. You guys are referring to toilet_rusurseta. I don't how to spell it... sadly.

How do you spend years drawing and never upload anything online? Do you just have a massive pile of finished work that you keep to yourself?
I’m calling bullshit. You don’t draw and you’re not good at it.

>>7786849
so this is some other character. carry on then

>>7786850
Here's my older work anon. Yeah, I'd upload online but if nobodies sharing it I'll quit uploading. Simple as that.

Also nobodies answered OP's question.

All that 4chan cares about is a name. Sad... very sad...

I'd say I'm average at drawing. Not completely hopeless yet.

>>7786853
Hmm. Alright... good thing I failed to upload the attached image. You're right. It's time to move on. Let's not get too distracted from our true mission.

>>7786830 (OP)
Post your game or some progress so there’s actual work to discuss. Only morons [like the ones from LSG] are here just to worship namefags...

There’s nothing more despicable than attention whores who chase fame as an end in itself.

"PYW" : A game I’m programming in C using SDL2.

>A fucking Mario clone
What a waste of time

Why do you keep making threads to micro blog? It can’t be 2 people who happen to name themselves “kozeki”. And you pretend to have selective amnesia when confronted despite putting yourself in such a position. You could name yourself “Sora” for all I care, you’re doing it deliberately to piss the people you casually named off and then some.

Either post your work in these threads or get lost, idiot.

>>7786874
Posting my game here is too risky, sorry.

>>7786880
Hmmm, nyo. You won't distract me from my mission. Now go, your chatbots are waiting for you.

>>7786883
AH so that’s how it is. I know what to do.

>>7786883
>too risky
lmao fucking retard
don't worry no one fucking cares about your shitty ass game
if you continue with your delusions your game will become less than the best you can achieve, mediocre

>>7786874
you got any socials ready yet?
I'd like to get notified when game comes out

Sorry, but this is on you. You have a group of people who are interested in your work right now, and you've become gunshy because of the possibility of assholes.
Newsflash; if your work becomes popular, regardless of the route, you're going to end up engaging with a few assholes, with or without 4chan.

>>7786874
Hey, it's the Anon with the public nudity fetish! Good to see you're still following your passions, haha.

>>7786877
Should he make a multi-platform mmorpg instead?

gpt-esque thread

Thanks for the honesty. I'll try my best.
>>7786862
This isn't me... I just got back from work.

How many kozeki's are there? There should only be one kozeki. You gotta highlander this shit out. It's the only way I'm afraid

>>7786874
>>7786886
>>7786911
Yeah, I'd agree. I wanted to hear /ic/'s thoughts. I do post my game on reddit,discord ect. It just feels like most casuals online are complete idiots. 4chan provides raw responses. I've been in these spaces for over 5 years now.

>>7786883
Sorry I meant this one isn't me. This guy is larping.

>>7786948
It doesn’t matter, you’re both faggots.

"popular" is a stupid faggot illusion for dumb idiots
you should try making 'friends' instead

'Freinds' don't have any money. Popularity means more money from casuals.

This. Advertising sucks, but it's an essential process to getting your work seen.

Just make social media accounts with DMs turned off and no contact info
Bam, done

>>7786845
What's wrong with baylego?

>>7786995
screw that, when was the last time the other two even posted here?

>>7786877
Um... the mechanic of defeating enemies by jumping on top of them is way too generic. just using it doesn’t make you a 'mario clone'. I guess to be considered one you’d also need to be able to activate special blocks by hitting them from below... Anyway I’m aware that the game still lacks some kind of movement gimmick to give it a strong identity, but that’s something that needs to develop organically without forcing it.

>the Anon with the public nudity fetish!
Thanks for remembering me :) Though I never really left. I’ve always been lurking around this board :)

Um... my project is still quite far from being finished [I’d say I’m about 60% done, switching the programming language from javascript to C cost me several months of development], so I haven’t felt the need to share it outside this board. I don’t think normies would be too interested in half-baked stuff anyway... That’s why right now I’m more focused on actually developing the game than on the social side of things. Still, if you’d like to stay in touch, you can follow me on my side project 'Doodlerotics' [I’ll probably share my game there once I’ve made decent progress] :

bsky.app/profile/doodlerotics.bsky.social

[I also had a twitter account, but it got shadowbanned for no reason so I deleted it].

Picrel: a boss editor I had to develop to make the process easier @_@

An arbiterwolf thread died for this.

>I'm not popular. What should I do?
What's your true goal? Be popular or make video games? Because if it's both then just sellout like a soulless NPC.
>BTW do you know Balatro?
The Balatro game's made by a single guy, he made dozens of millions of dollars, but he did it because it's fun to make games, it's his hobby, he said so himself on his timeline.
He's made a bunch of games before Balatro just for his friends to play with him, they never had a release, he didn't even think that it's possible to make money off games because there's too much competition on Steam.
He's only released Balatro because he's a NEET living off his savings and with his supportive girlfriend so he thought that making a game would help him get a job in the game industry, you know the same idea that the dev of Stardew Valley had, it's funny how they both went from NEETs living with their gfs to filthy rich instead of a wagie in the IT industry.

Why did you move away from javascript? Just curious.

>>7787071
Literal autism

>>7787072
You have autism anon?

>>7787060
Those creators have girlfriends. People usually talk down to me. So I have to get approval from others.

>>7787071
Um... it’s just that I was looking for native windows support in addition to web support. Creating pseudo native apps via Tauri or Electron is really awkward and 'ugly' x__x That’s why I decided to do the opposite: I’m focusing primarily on native support first, and then the web using WebAssembly. Another thing I’ve noticed is that the object oriented paradigm that javascript makes easy was actually making programming harder for me. These days I’m progressing much faster without so many unnecessary abstraction layers.
