Do you consider it a red flag if an indiedev uses pronouns in bio?

>splatoon but furry
ew

>Not-Splatoon, starring my furry OCs
Woooww indie devs sure are creative!

>>714456743 (OP)
It's a seal of quality since chuds make shitty games that rely on the gimmick of creating twitter spats to shill their game.

>>714456743 (OP)
I don't really think about it, make a good game and I could care less about your political or religious ideologies.

>>714456743 (OP)
no unless it's they/them or neopronouns or whatever the fuck
while one should always be as anonymous as possible on the internet making sure people know what the fuck you are is fine
and if its a tranny they'll always have something else to tip me off because they literally can't help themselves

>>714456878
It always is. You can tell within 2 seconds it's gonna be some awkward splat-based shooter with saturated colors, pronoun cyborg deer protags, and one dev named "StarSynx" or some crap. Bonus points if the game still has "early access" placeholder menus from 2021 and relies on Twitter threads for patch notes.

>>714457352
the worst part is that i'd actually enjoy "splatoon but on pc"
but all these nigger devs that try just dont get it.

>>714456743 (OP)
why don't people make dark gritty cool games anymore? why is everything toonslop now? testosterone levels dropping?

>>714456743 (OP)
Somewhat but i'm understanding that in certain circles you can't really get away with not doing that
In your webm I'm more concerned that it's the work of one who consorts with beasts

I consider it a red flag if all an indie game does is make really detailed 3d movement systems and attractive characters showcasing their shit in gamedev test areas and then never actually releasing anything

>>714457481
People still haven't gotten over the saturation of gritty, colorless games from the late 2000s

>>714456743 (OP)
Why is it so difficult for indie devs to make original games nowadays? This is literally just Splatoon with furshit, down to how the character moves and the diving mechanic

>>714456743 (OP)
No it's an instant dealbreaker.

>>714456743 (OP)
Not really. I think pronouns in bio is utilized just to keep annoying people off of your back.

>>714457481
They still do make gritty garbage for you, stop demanding all devs to do it as it wouldn't fit with Fifa and Minecraft. Thanks.

I'd take Mel T over this

>>714456878
>splatoon but not furry
it flopped

>>714456743 (OP)
I wanna rotate that shark

>>714457718
Because older devs were inspired by life. Pokemon came about because the creator liked catching bugs as a kid. Modern devs are inspired by the media they consumed growing up, so we get mostly regurgitated slop.

>>714457869
that flopped because it wasnt fun to play.

>>714457718
>Splatoon with furshit
???

>>714457718
For starters, all games are derivative. Familiarity makes it easy for people to playtest and give criticism for it. If there's no frame of reference, then they'll get stuck and have no idea what to do in it.

Yandere Sim is stuck in dev hell because the dev has no idea what to do at all.

>>714458041
>t. didnt play it

>>714458179
looks more like a monster girl to me.

>>714458412
>Familiarity makes it easy for people to playtest and give criticism for it.
Familiarity has its drawbacks that can potentially ruin you, as it can also destroy your game's identity. Being constantly compared to an existing game is a death sentence for any aspiring game dev that's trying to do more than make a quick buck.
This just looks like budget Splatoon and feels uninspired as a result. Why play it when I can play Splatoon instead?

>>714457975
This makes sense. You see something similar happen to authors of books today who basically just copy everything great writers made before them, but due to their ineptitude, they usually produce something that's of a shittier quality. More of them should try to be like Tolkien, who took inspiration from Norse mythology, and made creatures based off of it while creating a narrative that's distinct. But for indie devs I think they should just really try to take inspiration from something that isn't just another Dev's work

shark sexo

>>714456743 (OP)
For furfags, it's kind of par for the course. If they promise big floppy horse cocks, I can ignore it.

>>714458880
>I think they should just really try to take inspiration from something that isn't just another Dev's work

thing is that they aren't even being inspired by the games they play, they are just straight up replicating games that they have played in the past and giving it a rainbow-coloured coat of paint. Inspired works are supposed to be unique and not the same fucking game, BioShock was inspired by a book and created as a critique of it, he didn't just copy everything described in the book and added faggot shit all over it and called it a day

>>714457481
because nobody wants to buy All black skin with skeletons no.23

>>714459503
>BioShock was inspired by a book and created as a critique of it
Explains why Bioshock 1 was the only good one.

>holy shit anon did you know that if you go on twitter, type in the name of this indie game you just played, press search, check the first result, look at the bio to confirm it's the dev's account and then look and see they use PRONOUNS in that bio you will now know that the person who made the game you just played is a fucking faggot
Except I don't do any of that. I just play games and if I like them I keep playing and if I don't I uninstall it.

>>714457718

>>714457718
Because most of the mechanics you can think of are either already a thing or awfully not fun. Once a blue moon someone can come up a cool, original game idea.

>>714457869
Something about the word "foam" drives me batty in the same way I hate the word "lather". Hate it.

>>714456743 (OP)
I mean pronouns at all are tiny red flags unless they're being annoying about it, it's really just the weird pronouns and the pronouns that don't match their profile pic that bug me.
Worst is probably "he/they" and "she/they" because at that point they're 100% doing it 100% for the attention, as literally everyone's a "they".

>>714457869
Where's the "furry"?

Why can trannies make decent looking games but not women?

>>714463697

Based

>>714457718
The limited pool of ideas is too recirculated.
The consoles of the 2000s are also a massive problem, because the formative experiences of most nudevs are 3D games that were designed like shit so that they could be played on dual analog.

This has always been a thing, eventually someone gets a fresh new idea, whether it's from an A game, an AA game, or a AAA game, everyone else then just copies it. You always have to dig through a slew of shit before you can find gold.

>>714456743 (OP)
It's a redflag in any situation desu. Only people who are in denial of reality ever use pronouns. So you know right away you're dealing with a walking problem.

>>714465239
So, what's you're saying that the problem is just inherently AAA gaming as a whole?

>>714459027
Yes

>>714463697

Explains why it's not dogshit, he's not American.

>>714465668
Would

Every person I'd seen mention this game before said it looks cool
It says a lot about the kind of people that interact with "pronoun" threads that this one is a constant onslaught of inarticulate negativity

>>714468828
it really doesnt.
it looks like a watered down (hah) version of splatoon that misses the point.

>>714469081
>misses the point
games don't have points anon
they have gameplay, and you've seen a tech demo from an unfinished game

>>714469471
a tech demo that looks boring, yes.

>>714469510
there aren't even any enemies on screen you mongoloid
did you think this was a slice of actual gameplay and not just the dev showing off the barrels breaking and environmental interactions
embarrassingly game journalist behavior

>>714469682
if you, as a game dev, cant make your tech demo fun then i will not consider the game in the future.

>>714469682
Its splatoon but without the freedom to make your own paths. How can you not think that already looks pretty lame?

>>714470116
because it isn't splatoon
it's a game with low lying physics based water. it doesn't stick to walls and comparing it to splatoon is barking up the wrong tree. maybe you'd like splatoon better, but that doesn't change the fact that they aren't going for that.
are they going to do something interesting with the ACTUAL mechanics they're making? remains to be seen.

>>714470116
Not being able to make paths isn't necessarily bad as long as they make other interesting ways to create them instead

>>714470404
its a furry that inserted xer OC into a commercial game so probably not!

Using bluesky is a bigger red flag than pronouns

>>714471392
before you jerk them off wait until he finishes a game not even that platformer furfaggot tranny can finish games

it's a brain defect of autistic men but slightly aspie dudes with an intact ego are the real kings of game programming

>>714471979
nice buzzword soup, anon

>>714456743 (OP)
Yes, but the flag is pinned more to development cadence than anything. Pronouns guarantee the potential for drama, butthurt meltdowns, and radio silence from the devs when they can't deal. On the flip side there's a good chance that once the game comes out you probably don't want to update ever unless there's a critical bugfix the community can't address themselves, because they're likely to be creep/cringe additions or No Fun Allowed. Of course, the real winning move is to never touch social media at all so you can remain blissfully unaware of whatever faggotry the dev(s) might be involved in and just play the damn game if it doesn't suck.

>>714457481
Buy a 360/PS3, they've got what you need.

I don't understand why niggas do he/him. Is it that notable that you use your actual pronoun?

>>714463697
This looks like it could have been a Dreamcast era game. Might try it.

>>714474540
if you are surrounding yourself with mentally ill faggots it's what they will expect you to do otherwise you are nazi chud to them or something

>>714463697
Because they're men...

>>714456743 (OP)
Yes
I have played games made by autistic tranny furries that have zero identity politics and had fun
I have also played games made by "lgbt allies" (read as: insecure straight white men who support fags for some reason) with so much obvious agenda crammed into first five minutes it made me quit.

>>714456743 (OP)
I like how all these indie fur homosex faggot games are just 100% ripoffs of nintendo games, really makes a man think

>>714456743 (OP)
for a sec i thought this was that goblin game

>>714476247
I've also played truly unique indie homosexual fur games that can only be directly compared to other paradigm-shifting indie games, but /v/ doesn't deserve the blessing of knowledge. If you would've had taste, you would already know them.

>>714463083
Exactly

>>714457481
what are you talking about? dark gritty or troon slop is all devs are making now

>Do you consider it a red flag if an indiedev uses pronouns in bio?
It's a red flag in any bio, for any sort of person. Fucking wacky retards who produce wacky retarded shit.

Nothing good can or will come out of engaging people with mental illness.

>>714457718
You're telling me you don't like being flooded with shittier versions of old games? You know this was made by a passionate team that endured many challenges during development, right?

>>714471735
if it makes you happy bluesky is slowly dying. seen some furfag accounts i follow go inactive there

>>714456743 (OP)
Yes.
>all the retards in this thread calling the game splatoon
Nah, Splatoon's gimmick is being able to paint nearly anywhere which gives you the ability to create your own movement options. This game, from what has been shown by the OP, seems far more limited in how you can actually control the water which makes it seem like more of a puzzle shooter. I can see it being like the water temple in OoT where you're primarily focusing on raising/lowering water levels to create static, binary states of environmental interaction. This is not the same thing as Splatoon's dynamic interaction.

Unless the game actually has a "lol fuck physics" water gun where you can just slap down chunks of water to swim through. Then sure it'd be a Splatoon clone.
