Shoot em ups are the best video game genre

>short games
>solid difficulty
>high replayability

>short games
how the fuck do i make a short game that people actually buy. I'm convinced everyone that likes short games is a leech that never supports indies.

make it replayable

>>725417583
Do you actually make games or are you just saying that? Really though, you have to make a "rogue-lite" and get streamers to market it for you. The arcade ship has sailed, those don't have mainstream appeal anymore.

short games but they overstay their welcome. Dull as shit. Still not as bad as beat em ups.

I bought Angel at Dusk because I heard and was convinced the dev really wanted his game to be a dive-point for new people to get into his game, from easier to harder difficulties and lewd-ish content. Including a grindy but fun replayable mode. I liked it but it didn't take over my life, but was worth the $15 bucks.

4X mostly about the large-scale development of your state

>culture
>tech
>war
Grand Strats cover those and also more granular stuff
>army compositions and formation
>tax rates, tariffs
>population controls, employment, etc

Try using your brain for real instead of making retarded posts about tetris and the same grimderp goyslop threads on /v/ every day

>>725417975
why were beat em ups so addicting as a kid but now they get so boring after the first 1-3 stages?

>>725419802
Is this your first time playing Doom?

>>725418246
When people say grand strategy they usually mean reddit post generators like paradox games and not actual games like war in the east.

>>725419836
It was the first friendslop
You just had fun because you were whacking NPCs with your brother or your friend
