I am the single most oppressed indie dev out there. And it's all YOUR fault, /agdg/.

It's so hard to recapture the "magic" of video games.

>>532503607
>oppressed
placing mental barriers upon yourself is ngmi energy

>>532503607
it will post progress or else it gets the hose again

how about you dev on old machine and make a game for this bad boy

My last game is almost 4 years old... Shit... Time flies fast...

>>532503865
For what purpose

https://itch.io/updates/update-on-nsfw-content

"For NSFW pages, this will include a new step where creators must confirm that their content is allowable under the policies of the respective payment processors linked to their account."

No, I don't think I will.

ITCH.IO IS MASSIVELY PURGING THEIR NSFW GAMES.

ITCH.IO DISCORD IS IN FULL COPE MODE, MODS ARE BANNING THE DRAMA 100%

MANY GAMES PEOPLE BOUGHT ARE GETTING DELETED.

NSFW GAMES ARE BEING DELISTED AND CAN'T BE SEARCHED FOR.

Wtf I hate 2025 now

That fucking it. The last contract to finish Galduen of the void done. Now I need to playtest a full game and check if you can finish it. Game should be done next week.

>>532503934
Same. I started in 2021 in Unity but I'm finally making some progress in Godot.

>>532503607
How does it feel to be my mental cocksleeve, weakling?
I'm gonna oppress the fuck out of you this week, btw. If you ever do get your game released, I'm going to review bomb you into the stone age :)

>>532504556
good. welcome to making real games. no more easymode.

>>532503934
tell me about it... my first game is 30 years old.

Remember. Your entire hobby will be automated and people will be glad you've been removed from the process.

>>532504921
Post it?

>>532504762
Itch io only affects whether I can distribute a game, it doesn't affect my ability to make it.

My greatest flaw? I put too much soul into my game.

Is there any interest in something like a game that feels like reading a wikipedia about a fake game? I want to make something like a worldbuilding with a harem massive setting, and I want to put some place to use as documentation to use for making derivative projects.

post soul, real soul, you know the kind

ironic that Elder Scrolls will instead be associated with Todd Howard

>>532505176
>Is there any interest in something like a game that feels like reading a wikipedia about a fake game?
There is interest in ANYTHING if YOU (yes you) can *make it* interesting.
Pic related is a game about reading wikipedia pages of fake cryptids. Then some random person calls you, says they have some trouble with something (randomly one of the cryptids), and you have to tell them how to handle it based on what you read.
That's literally it, and it made a million dollars.

point me to an AI texture generator

>>532506643
I recognize pic of that man, it's free on pexel

>>532506643
But all my reddit post I made about my last game got 50 views and one was deleted by offtopic.

Like what's the point of even making stuff when I get 80 views and 0 downloads.

And all the indie games that made it are projects that took 7-8 years, or already have a social media pressence with 50k followers.

Or they have been building a fanbase after drawing 5 years a daily porn fan art.

It's literally impossible to get viewers because you are buried now by AI sloppa.

I just feel like giving up.
Everyone is destined to make it, except me.

>>532507143

>>532507743
if you have to use meshy to make a low poly model there is no way you could retopo them in any good way.

I am growing radicalized. NSFW videogame development was my one and only outlet.

Tell me anons, how many of you own a domain and use it for your indie dev?

>>532509109
you don't want to know the feeling when your domain auto-renews after 2 years and your game doesn't even have a demo

>>532509109
me!

Day 1 of drawing without a tablet. Shit's hard yo. I dunno how ancient visual novel artists were doing this shit.

>>532509109
All the domain names I want are taken...

random castle in the middle of nowhere in the background and a single thin dinky bridge in the foreground, the image has no substance, it's only pretty colors.

It is done

>>532504170
man fuck me
I've been grinding nude figure art and 3D models of anime girls to learn art with the hope of selling porn commissions and shitty obscure fetish WEGs to fund my real game projects.
What do porn sellers have to do now? Make people pay in bitcoin? Make someone pay by money order? No one will do either of those.
Looks like the new standard they're pushing is it has to be vanilla (unprofitable) and you have to verify the buyer's ID (fuck that, I'm not their dad and the government shouldn't be either).

Also dumb that the game that offended people so much is "No Mercy," a mom-son incest game. It's practically vanilla compared to most extreme fetishes. That's beyond the pale, but BWNO spam telling whites to "enjoy your genocide, black is superior, kill yourself" or bestiality or furries or scat or diaper feitshes are ok? These people are absolutely retarded and evil.

>>532512035

Is it a common habit for them to start drifting off into mumbling towards the end of every sentence?

>>532511645
>The twisted castle looms over a dead marsh, its spires clawing at a sky lit by an unnatural sunset. Below, a lone bridge—cracked, overgrown—leads nowhere, save for a forgotten path once trodden by pilgrims or exiles. The land remembers something the world has chosen to forget: war, betrayal, or worse. The twin moons hang above like watchful eyes, silent witnesses to a curse still lingering. Nothing stirs now, but the stillness feels held—like breath before a scream.
or if you want something more conventional
>The castle rises solemnly from the hill, silhouetted against a fading violet sky. A narrow, winding bridge stretches toward it, half-swallowed by the marsh below, as if daring the brave or the desperate to cross. Once a seat of power, the fortress now watches in silence, its windows dark, its towers tangled with creeping vines. The moons above cast a pale glow over the land, hinting at forgotten stories and old wounds. Though quiet, the scene hums with a sense of something lost—and something waiting.
There you go. Writes better than you.

>>532512441
It's clear this guy is just waiting for AI to be good enough to make The Last Night for him

Spent the whole day fixing my rendering code but now I'm using raylib's rlgl.h correctly, meaning transformations work for all objects and scaling works so that camera zoom doesn't fuck up the font size or line thickness anymore. Also added a rotation tool, as you can see the player starts at a 90 degree angle here. Didn't have time to even start on polygon triangulation, maybe tomorrow, hopefully...

>>532512424
rewritten in brainrot:
>castle go brr on hill. sky’s purple goo fades out. bridge? skinny, twisty, half-eaten by swamp. cross if dumb or doomed. used to be big boss house. now? dead quiet. windows black holes, towers choked by green string. moons spill ghost juice everywhere. vibes? heavy. old pain. old stuff. maybe it wakes. maybe it bites.

your experiment is very low effort and the soul is missing

>>532512441
it's retards all around
the masses are expected to be retarded but his handling of it I'm really disappointed by
he had a point but he never made a real effort to clarify it, instead he just seethed with quips that fueled the flames
his point as I understand it is that the aislop's uncanny way of projecting pixels has never been done before, it's not quite voxels, not quite parallax layers
yeah no shit retard ai hallucinated a non-replicable sensless view projection good job burning off any goodwill you had left for your 10+ years in development game for this stupid point of yours

>>532513382
i dont even hate godot but you always post this ONE game in a small static environment, road to vostok is more impressive but it's stuck in devhell

>>532513620
I don't know any other games made in Godot.
>small static environment
You see that thing out the window? That's 3D too. And things moving and panels rotating? That's the opposite of static. It's a pretty game, it's in 3D, it's good enough. Maybe you're the one who's not good enough.

Any bald devs to look up to for inspiration? I feel like I should view this at as a chance. With being in a relationship now being a hilarious impossibility I can channel all my time into gamedev. If only there wasn't this dark cloud of sorrow reminding me of my painful lot in life.

or did they fix it I only played the release version

Aggy Qayanite arc?

if there's any chance to finish a GOOD game as a solodev it's by making a 2D game. or by having 100k+ budget.
tired of people who showcase some animations and effects in unreal and think that means they can make a 3D game. just because you spent a month making 0.05% of a game doesn't mean it's a viable strategy.

seriously man where are the objective rational thinkers? everybody's just trying to impress with fancy screenshots/videos that will never ever ever EVER become a full game.

and even if so, the game is gonna suck so bad, because if you have to constantly focus on art and animations and stuff you cannot truly focus on gameplay and content.

if rimworld would have been made in 3D it'd be so fucking boring because it'd not even have 1/4 of the content, because it all takes so much time to make.

seriously man some pro solodev needs to hammer some truth into peoples head.

Buddy, the talent left the industry 20 years ago. All of you are standing in the shadows of giants. The fact people require the heavy lifting done by pozzed engines to get their barely functional bad ideas to market is enough to know this space is reserved luxury dreams. You're not building -anything-, you're burning resources and time in hope you'll be deemed some revolutionary creative. Risk of Rain drove you people all into the depths of delusion. There's nothing here except anonymized failure.

>>532518992
yeah... if only you could switch shaders

>>532518992
you can't just use base textures and realtime lighting for everything

>>532518992

what the fuck is he doing with those thumbnails man...

>>532518992
computer, fix this nigga ugly ass game

it's not about becoming able to do the impossible
it's about becoming able to see the possible, inside your own constraints

people who try to do the impossible are actually retards. you are like a bee trying to fly through a thick glass window instead of flying around it.

the constant anger many people have is because flying against the window fucking hurts and it makes people mad. and when someone tells them "you can't fly through the window" they get mad at them. because you think breaking through the window is the only way forward and everybody telling you to stop trying is a "doomer" or "crab".

yes you can make a good game. but you can't make the game you have in your head because if you could you'd already have done it in the last years.

Thankfully I already have biome blending set up, so I can respond to feedback like this. They are distinctive colors and shapes intentionally, so that the biomes can be easily identified. The player will be able to place a Terraformer to change the biome of the land around it.
I can create, in the biome generator, a function that blends two biomes by a percentage to create whatever I want.

what's the most likely thing to happen out of those in the next 10 years:
a) you make a video game that makes you millions
b) the matrix glitches and drastically changes reality
c) a meteor crashes into earth eradicating all of humanity
d) aliens making contact with us
e) you win 10 million dollars in the lottery
f) universal high income ala elon musk is implemented

I only post in the /v/ gamedev threads now; you queers lost the privilege of seeing my game's progress here. From this point forward, I will only post irrelevant pictures because, evidently, any and all progress posts are demonized and ignored.

>>532525903
You aren't fucking the single mom why?

>>532525559
b) already happened in 2020 so I could see it happening again. As much as I want to say a)

>>532526016
she's fat, covered in tattoos and has the single-mom hair bun that I hate

>>532526106
You could have stopped at fat.

how thin are the floors if you can hear music from downstairs

>>532525914
just admit that no one gives a shit about you anymore lmao

If you're not making games with AI art, you're not gonna make it. You pick up a pen to do something in 10,000 hours that AI can do in 10,000 nano seconds. Stop wasting time and only use AI.

A game with single-mom music as its OST

>>532525630
Nice Anon it's starting to come together.

>>532526306
I would really like to see AI try to replicate Cosmic Construct's art style. This is what happens when you train a LORA on my game.

>>532526306
I asked AI to do a top down pixel art character for me and it came out looking like shit

>>532519512

Besides the big booba characters there's no porn
Is there??

I was just given a laptop with a GTX 1650 Ti in it... Guess what that means.

>>532525903
She's masking sex noises with music. This is how I know you're a virgin.

2 types of devs:
a) wanting to make a game they can't and complaining that they can't and never trying any different approach
b) just making the game they can make and stop even thinking about games you can't make anyways

>>532526880
In her SUV? I knew those single mom battle tanks were spacious but still...

>>532526827
And if I generate a character, I get this.

>>532526990
c) making the game they want to make, not knowing what they can't do, so they learn everything they need to do when they need it and then make their dream game

>>532503459 (OP)
How does GameJolt compare to Itch?

>>532526306
Hmm, yeah I'm not propping up your rapidly hemorrhaging, completely pointless bubble of a company altman, and I won't be the next time you ask either, okay?

>>532527367
I got less traffic when I used it. Culture seems a bit different too

Do you think it's possible for a game to be badly timed on the market?
Consider society comes to a period of uncertainty, jobs are lost, people are worried about rent. In such a situation I imagine there would be a lot less demand for new, original, "experimental" games.
On the other hand consider a small period of peace and prosperity, people are bored and they have money to spend on frivolities, in such a situation I imagine they would be a lot more willing to buy new, original concepts rather than safe formulas.

What do you think?

>>532527367
Game Jolt has already banned all NSFW content.

I want to make art not games

>>532528110
then leave nodev

>>532528110
Games are art. Did you mean illustration?

>>532527068
I think everyone that says AI has made art/programming obsolete doesn't even use AI in the first place

>>532528386
What would cause someone to parrot those sentiments without having any stake in it at all?

>>532528354
No like a digital art.

>>532528604
So illustration.

>>532527872
>Do you think it's possible for a game to be badly timed on the market?
Of course it is, dumbass, just like with any product. Have you not heard about a meme amongst developers on releasing the same day as GTA 6?

>>532528750
No, like a digital something, not a game but digital experience

>>532528549
just devs and artists baiting each other I guess

>>532527872
No, I don't think this is possible. I think you would have to be an idiot to think that it's possible.

>>532528876
>artists
You mean illustrators.

I wonder what happend to people who bought into these scams back in 2021

>>532528829
Are games not digital experiences?

I've implemented action point system

>>532529297

This will surely end well

Mostly worked on expanding the game's items this week and then some work on the contract system.
I also need to record more to make a teaser trailer.

>>532518992
Face sitting anon here. Excuse my rude comment earlier on, I was perturbed by some unrelated matter.
No anon, it's not about making textures uglier/low res or what engine you use. It's about capturing that special feel that those "soulful" games gave you, when you first experienced them. But for that you need to study what gave them this "soulful" feeling. Using a high res viewmodel with pixelated environment will not give you any soul, more a mere mockery of it. And then there's more to soul than the graphical aspect. Think back what you liked about those games and try to do your best to capture this feeling, no matter what engine or artstyle you use. Cheers!

im too straight for this transcoded world
thats why my games flop

>>532535939
Most of your "Trait" and "Component" nodes probably don't need to be Node2Ds. They can be just Nodes.

>>532536809
yes, AI it's useless for character design.

>>532534629
No, I'm tired of talking about it and I hate it even though it's one of my favorite topics in gamedev.

>>532535397
God, graphics used to be so good.

>>532535378
That's a nice menu system and even localization, very nice work anon.

>>532537281
Most Traits don't need to be Node2D but some do, so it's easier to just make one Trait that rather than two Trait and Trait2D types.
Next time I'll just make Traits completely virtual resources instantiated through code and store all the data in meta fields or something, I love composition but hate composing node scenes.

Every hurtable object has a HealthTrait node that's added to the trait registry, if something wants to damage it:

>var health := HealthTrait.get_from(target)
>if health:
> health.damage(damage_data)

We can make it even shorter by using static functions:
>HealthTrait.damage(target, damage_data)
The function doesn't need to care about the node type at all or if it can even be damaged, the static function will get the instance and take care of it.
Scripts that need to listen to something dying can also connect to the HealthTrait's own died and damaged signals regardless of what the owner node is.

Components are different and more complicated but they're used to modify functions in other scripts, like a gun that has a HomingTrajectoryComponent added to it, the component is registered as a projectile_force_integration callback that changes the trajectory of the bullet to steer towards the shooter's enemies, they can be added and removed at will and used for my game's retarded systems like the ghost that possesses guns and makes them shoot different, and other things like the necromancer that makes zombified enemies lose their normal vision range and instead share the same target as the necromancer through AwarenessTrait and BehaviorTrait.

>>532538928
Oof. Gameplay in this series has always been garbage, but at least the character design could carry. It's a shame they're throwing even that away.

Never heard of them.

Alright, yeah I agree, we DO need a seperate class of slopdev. You aren't a game DEVELOPER or DESIGNER as you didn't develop or design a game, you are a game constructor. That's okay, you went to the idea IKEA and just bought something else and put it together, I'm so proud of you but you didn't craft or create it.

>>532541504
>he's not making a Slay the Spire-like

To those of you saying that that AI slop isn't literally Cultic - yeah it fucking is

Balatro, but Craps.

>>532542528
I thought he was sitting on a toilet for a second

>>532542463
how does one even make such a fucked up art style

>>532542463
that's the core problem with ai devs, they aren't creative and don't have the drive to become devs
if they did, they would already be devs, they think coding and assets are what makes dev hard because they aren't creative and dont have drive

>>532542305
Google, give me directions to the Idea IKEA please. Then direct me to the open world crafting RPG section.

>>532542463
Another example

>>532542726
lowres prerendered sprite textures that then get used on lowpoly models, yeah its weird but i guess its so lowres and lowpoly that you dont really see the issues with the models

>>532542763
Whether or not you find asset creation difficult, it’s still time consuming—like 90% of dev time feels like it goes into ansset creation sometimes—and that in itself is a type of difficulty to contend with.

>>532542528
This isnt a horrible idea

>>532543383
Do the gamers even want billboarded dirt sprites as ground? No. They are reacting to the big imposing castle and the fact it's obviously AI, which hints to them the 'future of gaming' is getting close, the allure of prompting a dream game for themselves.

I need to get with the times and stay up to date with the latest technology and techniques in game dev.

There are probably all kinds of things I missed out on.

The thing about making games is it requires dark gamer psychology.
The thing about dark gamer psychology, is that you appeal to gamers, but who are dark. Sucking as many Rupees out of them as you can before their shitstained PC monitors finally burn out, from the amount of 2003 ecchi virus porn games they downloaded.

>>532544761
Truth post.

>>532545036
This also explains why the aggy discord games are so bad. The games themselves are made as an afterthought because the main focus is indie games development as a means to have social proof and belong to in-groups. It's not about the games, it's about being in discord and social media.

desu the game i'm making is the game i wanna play and nobody else is doing it. it's a scoped down 2D version so i can easily add all the content but other than that it's the gameplay loop i'm looking for. yeah it's not my favorite art style and also not first-person 3D, but whatever. actually makes it run on my laptop and also it's easy on the eyes.
i feel like rimworld art style is enough. as long as it has shapes, maybe a bit of gradients, outlines etc. and is colored, i'm totally fine with it. i just don't like ascii games.
i'm all about gameplay and content.

bros, I think I have the perfect idea for me. A video game that's more like a leak from a fake game company, where there are development files and concept art, demos, and mockups. Like a video game that's a real fake video game.

Why do indie devs keep getting away with scamming

i dunno why but to me quantity of content matters. i just like when games are big. but i mean sandbox games like zomboid, not aaa slop with pointless quests. just add absurd amounts of furniture, clothing, wall-designs, weapons, cars or whatever.
i just love the cosmetic grind and collecting stuff.

Imagine if Elder Scrolls didn't have any of the useless items lying around. That shit matters.

>>532546592
For me it's when the game world gives you stuff to do, like points interaction, like talking to NPCs or performing actions you don't think you can do that change the course of the game in a meaningful way.

>EA: It was fun pretty much all the way through. I mean, I was just...most of the time, I would make an item, right? There are all these crazy items in the game. They're just completely random things. Half the time, it was just me being like, "Okay, what would be funny?" Because I'm trying not to bore myself here and do something that I don't like doing. Half the motivation for me to keep working on the game was just thinking like, "Okay, what can I make today that is going to make me laugh so hard that I can't stop working on it?" So, my whole design process was pretty much centered around: how can I make this fun for me?

it wasn't enough for them to shit on their streets now they're coming to shit on the steam market

I need to play more indie games. I can't just play the same games I have been playing for the last decade...

>>532546862
yeah that's exactly what i mean. even if it's just decor, i just like when there's thousands of items.

irs me or paranormal photo inspector sounds like a chatgpt game idea? ill always respect devs who make UI heavy games tough

>>532547239
Have you tried Nubbys Number Factory?

>he doesn’t play everything agdg talks about

>>532546989
Most game dev's problem is they have no game. This guy had a game. If you have a game, you can actually add and remove stuff from it. Most amateurs just poke around the edges instead of add or remove features. They focus on totally the wrong things at the wrong times.

YOOOO BLUD THAT GAMEPLAY FIRE FR FR

i switched my whole world view and now my only goal is only doing what i feel like. everything else leads to depression. everytime you do something other than what you feel like something inside you dies and if it adds up over time you will not know what you want anymore. you wont know what you want to play, to eat, to watch, who you want to talk to, what you want to learn or make. everything inside you will die.
success in life is the state when you only do what you feel like, everything else is cuckdom for result addiction.

whats best about this webm is that you can make like 60 different webms with the same items and the same outcome because the game is so fucking flat in its execution

oh, post the mp4 video of my userbase? dont mind if i do!

Had a really weird dream tonight, well it's time to fix some UI stuff.

getting players to feel like they broke the game to their advantage = never have to work another day in your life

i cant figure out how to check for if a player is on the ground, can anyone help?

>to check for if the player is on the ground, use a raycast
>short raycast cannot detect slopes
>need to use long raycast, but this makes the player float
>can apply constant force to make the player not float
>applying constant force makes the player slide off slopes

genuinely no idea what to do in this scenario

>>532547239
Why do you need to play games? It's really not that relevant when it comes to game development.

>>532548191
Prove why all other clones failed?

make an mmorpg that resets every month and players have to pay $100 to join the server for the monthly run. if they all together manage to beat the game they all get their money back. if not the money goes to charity.
on top they have to pay $15 for each month like a normal sub fee to keep the game running and updated.

this will give it a bit of a sword art online feel. ofc there needs to be transparency about the run being doable with enough grind and autism.

>>532549607
I would say it's odd that itchio removed all those games without even notifying the devs or even making an official announcement until enough people threw a fit. But itch has been shadowbanning devs for years now. I think they fully expected to get away with it without enough people noticing, lol

It's true, I heard marnix (bare with me) say that to increase chances of finishing your game you need to get in a really basic thing you can play and iterate on as fast as you can, because he thought iterating on something that already exists is more fun than crafting a bunch of disconnected systems and linking them together at a later stage. He says you need to have something you can play, even if it is the most basic thing ever.

I did not know that there was a style called girly flash 2k anime game.

I tried to build an photoshop-like app on Windows 98 and boy it failed. AI can't code for shit

>>532550556
whoever this marnix guy is youre describing has coomer mentality
has he even made a game?

>>532550907
Any time someone uses "code" as a verb, you can expect them to not produce functional software.

>>532550932
dude he's right, if you don't know about him search "biteme games" on jewtube. if you're not seeing the results of your work you will naturally feel less and less motivated over time

>>532551232
>>532550932
It's also just obviously the right thing to do. If you're not playing your game right now, what are you even doing? It should be playable in like a day or two, MAYBE a week. There's so much to do on top of that regarding balancing, picking just the right movement speed, getting animations to line up, and all of that, but you need to be playing it. It's not just about motivation, a game that isn't playable until you're nearly done with it (if it's even possible to develop like that - I wonder why so many games are never finished?) will never be good

My walking sim was playable after 5 minutes of dev time. that's how good I am.

slot machines are not fun

casual toys are not games

you are not a game developer

mobile pachinko companies from china have already enslave humanity's brains better than any amateur pile of shit you can make ever will

you can't even design games for christ's sake. how the fuck do you expect to outdesign a whole room of psychologist and mathematicians that distilled pure heroin cocaine in an underground lab

>>532551867

More like indie death accelerationism, doing some basic steamDB reseach killed all my motivation for gamedev. The only things that sell are AAA with a big name behind it or slop and I'm not capable of making either.

yeah I know but the part about iteration still makes sense since it's game "development" and not game "assembly"

bitch ass aggyniggas literally woke up one day and thought "hmmm today I will use my subpar computer skills to addict more people to gambling instead of critically thinking about how I can actually earn money"

Fighting games aren't my thing. I never played much of them and I don't have any clue what makes a good one.

Saw this on youtube last year, assumed it was slightly popular because it was showing up in my results and the theme is the type of game I want to make. Checking steamDB now and.... a couple of thousand copies sold, 1 person playing it and peak players was less than 30. Jesus fuck.

>>532556224
There are none.

make a game that 1 man and 1 woman can play together and then team up with egirls that take an hourly wage to play with lonely gamers.

It's more effort than anything I've seen from here. It took more than 1 year of work for sure and made less than skilled waging for a year.

nice hands, I haven't seen this finger joint style before. everything is so rounded, how do you do that? I've had bad results with smooth vertex and smooth tool in sculting.

Market research on slop continued, this one is sort of surprising but not really. Markiplier shilled this garbage in an hour long stream which doubled the player count for a while but still didn't really make it pop off, the 'gameplay' looks boring as fuck.

I wonder how much they paid for the youtube shilling.

>>532553509
Upwork, artstation, discords
Sign contracts

>>532560635
I wonder what people are thinking when they go after the Markiplier audience. Sure, you might get a small bump, but the people who watch Markiplier prefer to watch Markiplier rather than play video games, in the long run. So it doesn't seem like a good long-term strategy.

>>532520976
>with help of kannadev (he did most of the work)
I just did the textures on some model tweaks though. Let's call it 50/50.

>>532554742
The problem is there is an entire 40 year history of games from which I can pick a random new platformer and have just as much fun playing it. And I've played a lot. You really do need to do something new. The last big 'traditional' sort of platformer I can remember is henry hatsworth, and it had some tetris gimmick. Owlboy sucked. Hatsworth is actually fun. I think there's a high level of development skill required to make a fun platformer that people just don't do right.

In fact the game design is what kills most games. I'm working right now with somebody's game, and the mechanics are solid but the scenarios are not fun at all. That is where games really end up feeling like a hobby rather than professional.
