I want to become the next Toby Fox. How could I do that?

get into art in some way for a decade plus make something memorable, then move into indie vidya

why would you ever want to be this

>>716168412 (OP)
Just plagiarize simi obscure stuff. It worked for Toby.

>>716168412 (OP)
Cater to trannies and children with a sappy story, an actually not halfbad ost, and mediocre gameplay. Do this until you get lucky and hit gold.

>>716168412 (OP)
Get experience working on a big project then go indie. You also need to be a talented writer and musician

>>716168590
He kind of looks like lee.

>>716168590
He has more hair than 90% of 20> white guys

>>716168883
of the Goldson variety?

>>716168412 (OP)
You can't, it's too late.

>>716168873
>talented writer

>>716168412 (OP)
Just be like this

>>716168412 (OP)
Unironically without love it can't be seen.

>>716168412 (OP)
plagiarize, steal, use the same 2 songs that you also probably stole and call the lead a motif

But most importantly cater to zoomtards

>>716169025
Millions of people liked his work and that means it's good. No, I don't give a shit about your contrarian popular thing bad incel obsession

>>716168412 (OP)
Appeal to subculture bitches
omori, emma bbq, undertale, wii sports, fnf, fnaf

>>716168737
>>716169201
If it's so easy why don't you do it too and become millionaire?

>>716168412 (OP)
do something which appeals to autistic faggots so they get hyperfocused on it and promote if for free everywhere for years to come
but of course everyone else will grow to hate it due to such shitty fandom

>>716169234
You could say it's good or not, idc. I just said you don't have to be talented.

>>716169087
This
Do it out of love and sincerity, not trend chasing and masking under irony.

>>716169338
I already have money and i'm not a game developer, it's time to stop with the disingenuous tranny rhetoric, it's so fucking tiresome stop killing the internet.

>>716168412 (OP)
Have one artistic skill that you're really good at. It can be music, art or writing, something else? Then go ham.

>>716169494
>i could easily become a millionaire but I chose not too because I don't have time

>>716169338
I'm lazy. Maybe I will, using my awesome creative power and supreme taste that's superior to anyone who ever lived.

>>716169579
I am a millionaire (knack 2 baby) and i have time, i'm not a game developer but i can clearly see that undertale was a bunch of stolen ideas from a mentally ill sperg that was given too much sugar.

>>716169579
I actually became a millionaire from posting about how shitty Undertale is so I am no longer in need of money.

>>716169579
making indie games these days is a lotto and social media management, unrelated to skills even - utter derivative shit like vampires can become a top hit

>>716169706
>>716169853
Damn, so many millionaire on 4chan today

>>716168412 (OP)
be a massive faggot
so just be yourself

>>716169947
>it's all luck no skill involved
Loser mentality

>>716168412 (OP)
You need years of experience messing around and working for another fandom

>>716169962
We're 4chan's main demographic. It's how we communicate with demons. See a lust provoking image with a time wasting irrelevent question? That's a ritual.

>>716168412 (OP)
Well, given that Toby spent years before hand as a teenager making music and then making a rom hack and then had to get Undertale kickstarted and even then it missed it's kickstarter date to the point that the game only came out a couple years after the demo and that Toby had the inherent drive to persist inspite of it means you've got your work cut out for you.

Not even accounting for his autistic fascination with games that translate to actually making stuff and we likely haven't seen the full breadth of his work. The likelyhood is pretty low anon is what I'm saying.

>>716169962
after 10 years of not so hard work i'm able to buy (1) house and (1car), kneel to the king baby.

Find a niche, churn through a lot of small, short projects that test out ideas, build an audience.

Make tranny focused games

>>716168412 (OP)
have one gamedev related skill, have good writing skills, have good networking skills or just be lucky and form a small team (at least 2 people including you, ideally each good at their own thing), have a really good and cohesive game idea, make a prototype game, work tirelessly to make it real. Success is not guaranteed, just remember that you don’t owe the world a clean product. I believe you can do it.

>>716170182
But can you buy a PS3?

people cry about my plagiarism but then proceed to do nothing
Toby was very prolific thats the key, plagiarize all you want who cares, but get to it, make something, then keep at it

Here's advice from another notorious indie dev.
https://www.gamedeveloper.com/game-platforms/opinion-indie-game-design-do-s-and-don-t-s-a-manifesto

>>716170246
nooooooooooo

Create for delusional furry porn addicts

>>716170321
Stealing stuff but making is transformative enough it's not a blatant copy is not plagiarism no matter how much /v/ wants to undermine Toby's work.

/v/irgins of course want to demean Toby to feel better about their own poor work ethic and inability to realize their own dreams. Even if you do try, you'll be looking at easily a couple of years not accounting for potentially crippling self doubt that comes with the process of gitting gud.

1. Find a really cancerous Western fanbase
2. Spend a bunch of time there
3. Move to ripping off Japanese stuff, taking a little bit of influence from the cancerous Western fanbase

>>716170527
I know but what bothers me is that its an excuse to keep on doing nothing creative.

>>716168412 (OP)
hop on to whatever cultural insanity is going on and support that dev in whatever way possible. 99% of Toby's success is Hussie

>>716170527
>it's ok because i can't get sued

lmao

>>716168412 (OP)
It's impossible, you'd have a better chance trying to become the next Yanderedev

>>716168412 (OP)
Just be determined

>>716168412 (OP)
If you are not a teenager then it is too late

>>716168590
he looks like the kind of guy to own an wii

>>716170712
Nothing to do with being sued, just pointing out that most artists do steal and twist whatever they steal to suit whatever they're making. The key is to steal so much and smoosh it together that it does become something new.

The only thing I have to say about Toby is he could stand to be more diverse in what he steals but he wears his influences on his sleeve so it's not like he's duping his audience. He likes Jap games so a lot of stuff his steals ideas from that.

Literally making a one to one copy is stealing anon. It's like trying to copyright chords progressions in music, or gameplay concepts (which shouldn't be allowed, fuck nintendo)

>>716168412 (OP)
Start small and make a romhack. You can surely do that at least?

>>716168412 (OP)
Be jewish or have jewish contacts

>>716170968
Stealing is okay when we like the guy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UExYIpqq5Y

>>716170968
The only reason he got away with stealing is because zoomtards had no frame of reference and actually believe that all the ideas came from the guy. His fame is not earned.

>>716170527
You're forgetting one thing anon. Most people just want the feeling of being famous or popular not the reality of putting the work in.

99.9 percent of people will never be able to deal with the process required to get to that point because it's long, scary and some people don't make it. Basically modern life in a nutshell.

>>716168412 (OP)
If you have to ask, it's over for you.

>>716171297
No its because his fans also like those things and want more of them and nintendo isnt giving it to them anymore
Toby filled a niche

>>716171297
I'm pretty sure if it was Nintendo could've sued him. You sound bitter you're inadequate, which you shouldn't because that's like 99 percent of /v/. Barely any of us are gonna "make it".

>>716168412 (OP)
Make an earthbound clone and fill it with vague philosophical nonsense to trick retards into thinking that it's deep or depressing.
Then make the cast high schoolers and write their interactions in a way that makes idiots think there's romance going on, despite that not being the case.
By doing so, you'll attract a bunch of unironic tumblrinas that only care to talk about shipping characters and nothing else.

>>716168412 (OP)
Make a dogshit game with shitty graphics and gay as fuck music that hypes up 5-year-olds at their birthday party oh and make sure you groom the 5-year-olds into faggots with your dogshit ms paint game maker furfag game you made to groom toddlers oh and ask an ai to act like tumblr for the dialogue or just channel your inner faggot groomer when writing the dialogue.

>>716168883
>>716168993
Kill yourselves

entrench yourself in a popular well known community for years then springboard off th-
oh, you havent done that yet? uh, good luck then buddy

>>716170942
and a nintendo ds
and a gamecube

>>716168412 (OP)
The most important part is to be working in someone else's project that's really popular but is small enough team size that it's fans recognize you as working on it so you can leech some of his fanbase when you make your own thing.

>>716168412 (OP)
If you don't already have a small following, then it's too late.

>>716168412 (OP)
Start working on your autistic dream game and hope you get lucky.

>>716171654
>You sound bitter
Thanks. I live to see frauds get shit on.

>>716168412 (OP)
Spend several years autistically creating content for a fandom
When said fandom is dying, revive it with your own creation that avoids doing the things that killed said fandom
The hardest part is this will mostly be unpaid

be a rich new england jew who receives virtually unlimited support from everybody in his life for his interests (in this case, music) during childhood

>>716168412 (OP)
1. Become Jewish
2. Get connections to get yourself a gig working on a semi-popular nerd series
3. Have your work be mostly you stealing other people’s work and editting it so that people don’t notice.
3.2. If people do notice, claim its inspiration/tribute/reference to the thing you plagerized.
4. Go to site with tons of stupid teenagers and say you’re making a quirkychungus game and host a contest where children do labor for you AND pay you like you’re a Tom Sawyer character
5. Use your connects through Judaism to your post on those teenager’s yfp and to have Jewtubers talk about it.
6. Start making your Quirkychungus Earthbound ripoff in RPGmaker. Add in a “violence bad” message and also make it about depression too.
Boom. You’re now the next Toby Fox.

>>716174252
Didn't he skipped classes and never learned to actually play the piano? Maybe cut it to just being a jew

>>716174397
check his yearbook page. also had a grand piano in his house growing up lol

>>716174446
>unlimited support from everybody in his life for his interests (in this case, music) during childhood

We used to call that middle class, a weird unicorn that didn't last for very long. Dude skipped piano classes and never actually learned to play.

>I want to become the next Toby Fox. How could I do that?

It's transformative power, you need to drink a small cup of his blood

>>716174728
According to Wikipedia, Toby Fox is a God-fearing Christian.

>>716174859
> According to Wikipedia
Cringe.
There are reasons why nobody in Russia uses that shit anymore

>>716175025
IP blocked?

Just get lucky bro lol just land on the next Homestuck lmao

>>716168412 (OP)
If you touch Toby Fox you turn into a clone of him.

>>716175309
Ok chat give me names MLP is too old, homestuck is already milked to death by toby, what other fanbase i can rip off?

>>716175215
No, people have simply stopped respecting this dump because of all its lies about Russians.

You will never be Toby Fox.
Toby is successful because he figured out the perfect recipe for a game that minmaxes the likelihood of forming a fandom. Undertale and Deltarune are exactly the kind of stories with the exact kinds of characters and tropes that tumblr-browsing autists and/or fujos and/or homos would write for their AU of some forgotten 90s shovelware JRPG. He has already done the work a late-stage fandom would otherwise do themselves.

>>716175447
Deltarune
In an alternate timeline yellow didn't fumble its writing and ch3 and 4 were irredeemably bad

>>716175564
REEEEEEEEEEE

>>716175447
What I'm saying is that you need to hitch onto a project that'll suddenly explode like Homestuck
>how
Get lucky lole

All of these are actual answers
Also if you're not a musician, be an artist so you can be the next omocat, although start small because otherwise your game will end up in development hell

>>716174446
>Yearbook
I don't understand half of the stuff written in it. Are these classes he has taken or what?

>>716175695
Nah i still believe in meritocracy, Toby got lucky trough plagiarism, homestuck and people not being able to recognize just how much he actually stole.

>>716174859
He was raised Episcopalian but I sincerely doubt he still practices.

Be lucky enough to find other talented people that actually stick with a project with you.
I could be making so many games if my coder wasn't a lazy cunt.

>>716175828
They're club or orgs he was involved in.

>>716168412 (OP)
make a RPGmaker game with juvenile artwork that panders to trannies and is full of implied gay sex shipping for them to latch onto
that's it

>>716175447
meta narrative visual novels with yanderes are on the rise, get em while it's hot!

>>716176380
toby actually likes video games
rpgmaker is for fart huffing artists

>>716176485
no one uses yandere,tsundere or zr anymore. It's all about jirai kei , girly kei and e-girls now.

Do you think Toby is thinking of dying in a horrible accident after releasing chapter 5 just for fun, leaving it as an unfinished masterpiece that would be talked about for centuries to come

>muh plagiarism
Any person who calls Toby a plagiarist has 100% never created anything in his life and/or arguing in bad faith.
/v/irgins think you need to reinvent the wheel or otherwise you're just plagiarizing.

>>716176983
Inspiration is when you take notes about a Wiki page and make part of your work based off those notes.
Plagerism is when you just copy&paste the entire Wiki page and change up some words with synonymns to try and hide your plagerism.
Toby does the latter with his music.

>>716177262
This has to be the most Dunning-Kreugar post I've seen so far

Where do you people even come from lmao

You already are, Toby. Now get back to work, 2026 is right around the corner.

>>716177956
Who are you quoting?

>>716177956
Were you dropped on your head as a baby? If you can't get sued for it, it's not plagiarism.

>>716176707
Needy Girl Overdose kind of claimed that pillar. Zoomers and alphies digging up old flash shit is still sort of uncharted, though. I've only seen one get off the ground a bit that was all "what if dress-up game but FUCKED UP and META?". You could just do that but shove furries into it, but time appropriate ones i.e. sparkledogs. You don't even have to compose, just yoink stock shit like they did back then.

>>716177726
Because I have integrity.

>>716178661
>he says this while posting on a Mongolian basket weaving forum

>>716178661
Integrity doesn't get you anywhere anymore, unfortunately.

>>716168412 (OP)
Step 1: draw hot furries
Step 2: make good music
Step 3: include 2deep4u lore with lots of Easter eggs and spoopy secrets for Internet game theorists to lose their shit over
Congratulations, you are now the next Tobert Fucks

>>716178925
You can post on a Mongolian basket weaving forum and not be a plagiarist, ya know?

>>716178925
normies are the ones that lack a moral compass

He's got good eyebrows and solid facial hair growth. He's likely plapping japussy as we speak
