WHY are fan game devs SO retarded. just make a good or servicable fangame that feels authentic to what the creators would have done. do not add a bunch of weird ass shit into the plot because you want it there. do not go full retard and advertise your shit on steam before it comes out. just have common sense. hubristards.

Why are you so obsessed with drama in online communities?

your reading comprehension is dogshit. i care about retarded fanproject devs tanking projects that the fanbase would have loved due to their unrestrained stupidity.

>>713534570
I know how to read between the lines. The topic is about people you don't like. If you were getting replies you would have segwayed into trannies or whatever.

It's like making games is actually harder than what most kids think when they start making fangames...

>>713534931
my post has nothing to do with that. there are a lot of devs who make a fan game using a preexisting IP. and it will be a dormant IP with a starving fanbase who would love something new to play after waiting for 2 decades or whatever. And a lot of them go full retard and get the game cancelled somehow ruining it for everybody due to their hubris/lack of self control. valid thing to get frustrated about.

if you are talking about people putting their identity politics or whatever into games, i think thats a problem too. because no conservative or liberal or whatever should be using another groups IP as a hijacked vehicle to spread their own opinions about the world. Especially when again its an IP that has been dormany for years and the fans just want to play something which feels authentic. so at that point it comes down to selfishness and narcissism. again a valid thing to complain about. at that point the project becomes more about yourself than something you are making for any fanbase. to argue otherwise is sticking your head in the sand.

If it is so easy then why not just do it yourself?
Why do you think those occurrences are so common?

I have my own game to make sorry.

>>713535997
its literally easier to NOT do those things i listed THAN to do them and compromise the project. do you have no common sense?

>do not advertise game on fucking steam
>do not go full retard and purposely advertise it as much as possible
>??????????
>doesnt get cancelled
>game actually gets finished
wow you can just simply NOT do something and it fixes the problem who would have thought?

>make fan game
>do whatever you think is cool
>just make sure it feels authentic in tone to the original
>do NOT self insert yourself into the characters
>do NOT add themes to the game that didnt exist before
>do NOT add shit to the game you DONT think the original dev studio would have done
>game actually feels somewhat authentic to the original

WOOOOOW by doing less it fixes the issue again who would have thought this

>>713536814
thats great. if its your own IP and your own universe you can and should do whatever you want to do and tell the story you want to make.

Name 5 games

>>713536910
Thanks I will.
A Pokémon fangame is the only project I would allocate 2 hours in a week to.
It would be based on HGSS

But I have multiple games to make and only death will cut me off that.

>>713536932
doesnt matter which ones because if you care at all about any older IP there are countless stories like this every year. not trying to single out a specific dev either. serves no purpose.

Always relevant to fangames

>my own game to make
>pokemon fangame

i think pokemon is in a weird fangame place because it absolutely does not need people adding retarded weird shit to it changing the feeling and vibe of the game. however because there is so many pokemon fan games, you can do whatever you want because if people do not like your game they have a list of 100s of others to play. doesnt matter if it fails. adding a bunch of weird shit to an IP is a matter of taste and respecting the source material. however if there are enough fan mods that do ecactly that, i see no reason to not being more experimental with what you do if you like.

when i made the thread that is a point people do not seem to understand with fangames. if there is not much of a selection to pick from you should just prioritize something feeling as authentic as possible to please the base. if there is an abundance of games that feel authentic, then that is the time to start doing more of what you want specifically because its more about your vision and less what appeals to the majority of fans. good time to do something different.
