It's like you fuckers don't realize how many fucking games are released on steam EVERY SINGLE DAY. This probably won't even the only cartoon art style 2d platformer released that week.

The market is absolutely FLOODED with solo dev passion projects. You have to have way more than just passion and competency to achieve any level of success.

Kek this guy makes little 2 minute long game that repeats endlessly, he releases it in early access, people call it shit, he abandons it, then he goes back and repeats the cycle with a new game that's essentially the exact same thing.

There is a really bizarre pattern of behavior with these low effort copy cat devs where they feel entitled to success because they made a game. And its always the ones who make soulless ripoffs that whine about getting 0 sales so clearly they aren't as passionate as they claim.

>>724812950
>You have to have way more than just passion and competency to achieve any level of success.
You don't need passion or even competency for that matter. Just make a friendslop game and shill it to streamers.
Alternatively you could make a vampire survivors clone if you don't want to deal with network code.
Passion doesn't sell anymore.

>>724811061 (OP)
If you're skilled enough to make a game and want financial success and stability, get a code monkey job at a company that actually depends on someone providing such skills for them instead of a gamedev company where you're expendable from the word go, or trying to swim in the rapids of indie development.
If you want to make a game simply to receive acknowledgement and adulation from other people, you're pathetic.
If you want to make a game for the artistry's sake, because you think the game existing itself is going to be worth it, then do it, but probably don't try making it your job, as in the thing your livelihood depends on at the same time, because chances are people won't notice and appreciate you.

If its a passion project then simply making it is the reward.

>>724814135
Because that's the cover art for the game; the actual in-game graphics look and move like an early 2000s flash game, which is insulting to the art style that it's imitating.

>if you don't like AI you're a tranny
Good morning sir

>>724815246
Yes. I've posted proof of this ahead of you.

Open up Steam right now and look at newly released games for today, and yesterday, and the day before. Look at how many there are. Why would anybody bother with any of them? You cannot succeed as an indie dev. The market is saturated.

>>724811061 (OP)
>>724812950
I'm just going to make a game I want for me and if it sells it sells. That is a passion project. There is nothing that turns me away more from ever caring about a game is when some egotistical cretin pisses and moans because his copy is a copy and nobody will call him special like mommy will.

Why do indie devs think the game is instantly worth people's interest? This game really shows the difference between the great modern indies (cuphead, Celeste, HK, as, ultrakill etc) with the unpolished rushed slop(this game, deltarune etc)

>>724815903
because the result is shit and not worth anyone's time

There's nothing wrong with this. If the game wasn't a steaming pile of dog vomit, people would've remembered it more fondly. There's nothing wrong with a bit of plagiarism if you at least do it right.

>>724814890
I don't understand why disliking AIslop is considered tranny shit. I know right-wing likes AI for easy porn and whatever slop White House pushes, but if I'm considered tranny and leftist etc. then I guess I am.
Like I don't mind pornslop, as long as it's at least decent, but I always prefer handcrafted stuff. I have been called leftist over and over again for disliking AIslop. I'm just tired bro, at least leftists don't call me nazi or smth for disliking slop

Well back in the day breaking into stores where someone could buy your game required some serious effort and connections. Now you can just pay gaben 100$ and dump your game on his store. Of course nobody buys these shovelware

>>724818650
too much effort

but splattercat/nookrium aren't cutting it anymore, opencritic doesn't help and steam just takes hours of shifting to find anything remotely interesting

how come there isn't an aggregator of some sort

>>724818521
Let's see, have you heard about Mystery of The Malign?

>>724819320
You don't HAVE to play games, just play them whenever you want to

It's true games only succeed and hit multi millions when shilled by streamers. See pic related.

There's no reason why lethal company deserves its success when there's indies much better than it bleeding on steam with 500 or less reviews

wow incredible twitter snip he's your upvote or whatever the fuck you want

>>724819610
Ye all indie shitters should ask their mom and dad for additional 10k$ and save them to buy some reviews so their game would have at least some exposure

>>724814432
Basically yes. You either buddy up with people who have the channels to get your game out there or you're playing the "word of mouth" (actually word of algorithm) lottery that's far less effective than most people believe it is.

>>724819895
And that's why I will always pirate games and never make them because its pointless.

The fact some zoomer faggot furry is now worth 30 million because he made one shitty friendslop indie game in 6 months is why I will never work a single job I will always NEET and leech.

The fact some guy made 25 million just because some streamer faggots shilled his game for ad revenue proves to me the world is unfair and I won't participate in it.
If it weren't for streamers schedule 1 guy wouldve made 100k and his life wouldnt have substantially changed. But because asmonjew shilled the game, he's now set for life.
So streamers decide who becomes a multi millionaire and who doesn't.

It's as pointless and luck based as picking where you were born in the world

It's as pointless and luck based as what kind of life and job you get. None of your decisions actually matter in the world.

Fuck off with your stupid morality shit. The world doesnt work on whos spoiled or not.

Life isn't fair and I don't pretend it is. These guys like zeekers or TVGS would be BROKE if it weren't for luck. They'd be just like you and all the other wagecucks. Its pure luck and unfairness started by fate. Yet they are worth 20 million USD+ for some reason and will live an infinite better life than 99% of people for doing 100000x less labor.

I'm not going to contribute to society if it won't treat me fairly and with dignity.
UBI and robots is what the world is going towards because people know young men have given up. I have given up on working a job or starting a family.

>>724812950
No, the real problem is that steam allows people to put their shitty asset flips for 100 dollars onto steam, this floods the store with garbage and low effort shit

Raise the fee to an extra digit and nothing like that would happen

>>724821143
I think toonsolus dev can only crash. I think I saw his game two years ago and it was in the same state as it is now. He was crashing back then too.

Anyway fine I'm trannyleftist etc. for not liking AI stuff. Whatever. I'm tired of the constant screeching that everything is tranny this leftist that.

He's just using a single word as an excuse to dismiss you.
The truth is when most people say slop they are able to communicate above an autistic person's comprehension of language, meaning when you say slop and I hear it we both know you mean that AI is low effort garbage that ends up looking samey because it can never be anything more than a copy.

You should just make a game that encompasses all the things that you like and hope it resonates with people
Too bad I don't even know what I like

>>724811061 (OP)
This cuphead ripoff looks to be about the same or worse quality than a newgrounds flash game.

Why is everyone shitting on bandwagoning on a trend? All of the FOTMs regularly achieve success by doing so.

>>724814116
>really bizarre pattern of behavior with these low effort copy cat devs where they feel entitled to success because they made a game.

This is just called desperation. People are desperate to make money off gaming because they see how successful indie games get yet its only 0.001% of indies that actually win the lotto of popularity. It has nothing to do with making a good game.

What would you say to someone who has $1200 in rent due, can't even afford a $13 mcdonalds meal and is working a dead end job in america living paycheck to paycheck. This is the reality for millions of young men. This is shit is about to implode because people are getting more and more desperate for money and more and more desperate to find a way to live if they don't have parents.

Did you know 90% of people 15-35 in 2025 live with their parents. Basically anyone who's not a genX or a really lucky millenial, or zoomer influencer who got rich is all living at home now.

North America is the poorest nation on average in terms of quality of life and living expenses. That's why everyone is jumping ship to poland and eastern europe like romania because its better than living by quality of life and cost than North America. Or japan like pewdiepie did because it's cheaper and safer for a rich man.

>>724821645
Not really our problem. If you can't give the market what it wants or what it can be convinced to want but still cry about it then how are these people anything but beggars? Their lack of shame and self awareness is astounding.

I cannot believe the sheer amount of these that exist and most of them are shallow garbage

>>724821087
Nah I have been called tranny commie for liking public transit. You gotta be against some random different stuff and support even stranger stuff or you're a trannyleftist. Like just disliking Charlie Kirk... Or not minding some vidya or movies. Not obsessing over gays and trannies or some random women on twitter. Woke this woke that. Walking is woke. Undertale and Deltarune are woke. Anime is tranime etc. and now the AI thing. Wasn't White House posting some slop? It's just lame and disgusting.

I dunno maybe I'm a leftist. I'm too tired to care. I hated sjws but this shit is getting tiring.
I don't wanna spend my whole life on this shit. I want to be happy, all this obsession is gonna just fuck me up. Sorry for blog I should sleep

>the world is only about money
what a sad life

>>724822120
almost all of the financial problems that america's youth suffer from (except healthcare expenses, that's just because the system is run by fucking kikes) stem from issues with backbone and proactivity because they're born into a nation where you're expected to be aggressive and push for the top
come to one of the more socialist hellholes in europe like the nordic countries to experience true suffering and you'll fucking miss america

>>724813731
this dude made so many videos about how to make viral video games that will definitely succeed.

>>724822120
Fuck off back to >>>/pol/.

>>724822361
Go live on the street then delusional faggot. Or do you like working a job? Your parents support you with money if you don't have a job, do you want to eat?
My world view is only evil, greedy, lying and lucky people win. So that's why I do.
If I don't win it's because I'm not evil enough or wasn't lucky enough.

>>724822453
What evils are you committed to, intelligent nihilist with a wicked sense of humor?

>>724820271
>anon learns it's not what you do, it's who you know

Being for public transport means being against auto manufacturers
i had a college professor tell me if you can't figure out why someone is doing something start with money
being a rightoid or a leftshit is a matter of context and circumstance, it's a label other people apply to you when it's convenient
you're tired because it's exhausting to feel on guard 24/7

>>724822357
Yeah you’re a leftist avatarfag.
But what exactly do you hate about the essjaydubyas.

>>724822562
Stealing, lying, deceiving people, taking things for free, not working, lying for gain. This is how the world works. Only evil people succeed.

>>724820271
>1 guy got lucky, my life is over
no one tell this retard about the lottery, we might see a suicide

>>724822453
whoa what a twisted fucking cycle path

>>724820271
this completely hand-waves away every decision the dev made to get that game in streamers hands and pretends it was all luck.
the dev chose a theme that would resonate, the hook was good "make and deal drugs with your friends", appropriately priced, enough content, fun, even the capsule art is good.
you pretend all these things dont matter and it was a diceroll.

>>724818812
>There's nothing wrong with this.
Tell that to giant game companies.

>>724821553
>Why is every
why do all 4chan users base their opinions on a sample size of one?

>>724822671
So your parents are middle class, does that mean they're only like middle-level evil people too?

You should only make games because you have a strong creative drive and/or you want to play something that doesn't exist. Expecting success is foolish.

>>724822693
Except the people who win lottos usually have been playing it for years and deserve it and have spent time paying into it and statistically have probably been working a job for decades to afford such luck.

People who get their games shilled like zeekers that made lethal company made the game in 6 months and was shilled by asmonjew. He never worked a day in his life. He doesn't deserve it and it only reinforces my world view that only luck and people who don't work become successful. Same with streamers like asmonjew.

>>724822453
You need to be 18 to post here.

Describe one of those cases in detail.

What's left?

>>724822824
Just means they are suckers who I will never become like. I will leech and steal as much as I can by any means necessary.

>>724822870
Define success.
I know plenty of moral people who made their life's wealth through hard work.
You mean you just won't settle for anything less than multimillionaire?

>>724822870

>>724822995
My idea of success is having a house in a stable and safe country and enough funds to live for the next 70 years on a budget of 400 USD per month. That takes at least 2 million dollars these days either in immigration fees if you're an american trying to live in europe or the opposite.
But why would I do that if I can just neet and never pay for anything.

>>724822453
i work on a weed farm i do in fact like my job

>>724812950
But all the steam drones always says how you NEED to release games on steam because it gives them free advertisement and it will die otherwise?

>>724823154
Could try not living in a city.

>>724823042
Making a game for 6 months with unity assets and making 20 million USD ≠ Working a job for 60 years

>>724822453
I like working my job yeah.

>>724822956
Wow, I feel real bad for your parents but they raised a real piece of shit lol

>>724823226
I don't live in a big city my town is semi-rural.
I like people who work but ultimately they are suckers and I can never be like them in my world view.
People who get rich instantly and do no work, steal, lie and leech I don't like but I realize it's the only way to be successful in life so I do it anyways.

>>724823235
You said he never worked though.

>>724813934
Black Elf guy had some of the biggest streamers shill his game, yet barely anyone bought it.
People really overestimate how much streamers impact sale numbers, streamers play the games BECAUSE they are popular, not the other way around.

>>724823341
I feel like you don't believe your own words and are just trying to delude yourself into doing so.

>>724823472
I just understand how the world works and you are coping. Keep being poor wagecuck. I'll never accept wagecuckery even if it's the "right" thing to do, which it is but I'll never respect you delusional reddit onionss. You have no idea how the real world works. You'll always be poor.

Yeah seems like I was spot on.

>>724823674
>t. poor
Keep wagecucking paying for rent and paying for things LOL

>>724823450
another good example would be shroud's game, he gave up on after a week to play deadlock once valve allowed people in. he straight up ignored its existence once the new 'because they are popular' game showed up. no one gave a fuck about the game, especially because it was a game made by shroud (literally who cares)

>>724823785
So what made you this insecure?

>>724822621
You do know you can own a car and use public transport right?

>>724823645
He also not only missed what made Cuphead's artstyle, he desecrated it
>cuphead devs painstakingly set up an entire arthouse to revive almost century-old, dead art techniques to make their fucking game
>the retarded pajeet crashing out in the OP didn't even have the basic decency DRAW most of his own shit himself, he used fucking AI

>>724814465
popular thing bad, aren't you a special snowflake. A few of those are "strike while the iron is hot" games cashing in on a fad, but if you are struggling to find ingenuity or craft in this line up, you are just a dudebro casual, except bitter.

>>724817070
Everything is a remix

>>724820271
Yeah streamers ruined gaming and the internet.
What else is new?

>>724824263
No they didn't.

>>724822705
When you look at the grand scheme of things, where someone was born, what family they were born into, where they went to school, how wealthy they are it absolutely is a diceroll.

The underdog never wins.
The poor middle class person never wins.
The good hearted and honest never wins.

Only people who set out to shill shit and get lucky win in life.

>>724823803
Shroud also viewbots like 90% of his views

>>724824484
Hey you didn't answer me as to what caused your insecurity.

>>724814765
>first use is self-/threading
>3 reply threads
embarrassing

is this like an ESL moment with "copy your framework" framework? Artists drawing from all of culture is not as damning as you seem to believe.

>>724824484
nah I think idiots never win, I always heard about all this "game dev is impossible" shit.
I made a vampire survivors clone as my first game and made ~200k , 400 very positive reviews.

all I did was read and then do the things you're supposed to do and not wing it like I assume most people do.

This isn't that helpful.

>>724824896
What if I don't want to make a survivor game though

>>724824968
then stay poor, i dunno.
you can use the money from your shovelware game to make your dream game.

>>724814116
Actually, the OP tweet is even more cynical than that.

The dev is just jumping on a bandwagon tweet format to attempt to hit the algorithm specifically to advertise their copycat

>>724825231
only thing missing is the @elonmusk

>>724811061 (OP)
just going off that single screenshot, that game looks like a fake game you'd see someone playing on a TV show

Does it really matter if steam gets flooded with shovelware? 1 or 1000 if it sucks it's still not going to get any traction, might as well not exist.

>>724819610
>There's no reason why lethal company deserves its success
how about ingenious AI and impeccable aesthetics
>shilled by streamers
it's as grassroots as it gets, the top clips are from hundreds of literally whos, because the game is tuned to perfection to create unique emergent moments and evoke visceral reactions

>>724818849
because 'disliking ai' is ideological.
You are fine with not liking a thing because it looks bad.
But when you confuse 'looks bad' with 'ai' you are now ideologically anti-ai. You have decided things looking bad is not actually real, rather you have attributed things looking bad to ai and moved a step to simplying things and make 'ai is bad' a universal rule you must now follow.
This is leftist thinking. All leftists simplify things and then decide that distilled idea is a universal rule and then write essays about how that one thing is actually an all pervasive systemic problem within society, create a theory about it, and convince others to follow them who then all purity spiral into a self sabotaging mess of virtue signaling because they see that universal everywhere.

Very common on the left. Only happens some times on the right.

>>724817134
Zero quality control. More shovelware than the PS2

>>724825376
You look like a fake post you'd see someone generating with a bot. Just save everyone the time and call it generic, derivative, dull, you are not adding any flair or insight by repeating the cliche.

>>724826123

I'm taking the time to shame you properly. It's a longshot, but calling you a reddit faggot will certainly be as effective as a fart in the wind.

>>724822285
valve's recommendation algorithm is one of the worse around, if you've played one at all the store just thinks thats all you like

>>724826347
correct, only some times on the right
notable occurrences are
the red scare
satanic panic
antisemitism

>>724822120
>90% of people 15-35 in 2025 live with their parents
Source on that statistic? That sounds like an unbelievable number.

I don't take any of these indie devs seriously when they say their games are good but they just had bad luck, because of my own experience:

>shitty porn game completely retarded made in RPG Maker
>written with Google Translate, which made everything even more retarded
>people complaining that they couldn't even understand what the characters were saying
>0 seconds with marketing
>+500 patrons after a few months

There's no excuse. Even completely stupid products will find an audience through word of mouth if there's some redeeming factor.

>>724826894
guess I'm part of the 10%

>>724811061 (OP)
>>724813176
I think it's hilarious that people are so desperate to copy Cuphead and do literally NOTHING that has to do with the aesthetic. Like here's some knights and wizards in a fantasy setting, but we got like chromatic aberration and shit!

>>724822405
cuffbust would have succeeded if the game was launched in a finished state. It had well ovr 100k wishlists. If you know anything about how wishlists work on steam, you'd know it's a recipe for success if your product has that many. The game bombed because it was unfinished dogshit.

>>724830040
oh yeah I dont think he's wrong or anything, I just think its funny he literally forgot the first P of marketing "product" and released a shitty product after doing a really great job at everything else.

>>724827037
you made a porn game so hardly any of that applies, everyone knows gooner money is the easiest money you could get right after retarded roblox kids money

>>724812950
after playing many games with less than 200 reviews I can tell you the reason why they dont succed
none of them do marketing, literally how the fuck was I supposed to find your game?
I found them by sheer luck, browsing recently released games or with the occasional hidden gems threads here.
none of them make videos or posts advertising the game, none of them even made social media accounts with at least clips showcasing the gameplay or whatever or even post a decent trailer to their youtube channel (most of these games had their steam trailer ripped and reuploaded by other channels cause otherwise it wouldnt even be on youtube), all of that and more is free shit they can do and only takes a little bit of time
they dont even do the easiest way to promote their game which is just sending a code to multiple streamers without any strings just "play it if you want, i made it". And it shouldnt even be 10k viewers streamers, just multiple 100-500 viewers streamers would do wonders in selling the game to people
if a retard like in the OP relies solely on algorithm pulls then they might as well play the lottery since its the same shit at that point

>>724812950
Remember Steam used to have so few bad games that Bad Rats became a meme. Now you have tens of thousands of Bad Rats on Steam.

And yet when you point it out with Ark and Palworld you get eaten alive

>>724832318
so true sis they need to be real games like heckin wholesome AAA goodness like "[GAMe] but [MOVIE]"

it's normal to copy something good as an exercise. that's how you get good

>>724817070
please sarr, expand the image!

Never explain anything. Always assume that you are the dumbest person in the room.
