sometimes i feel like i will never be good enough, should i just quit gamedev?

Osursissies... did we lose?

>>537887409
having to be good at something is a modern invention. our prehistoric ancestors were content to live in caves and hit rocks together. be glad you aren't living in some primitive backward period in history or that you don't live in india.

>>537887463
The moment they start realizing it's not a meritocracy and it's already been oversaturated will be so delicious

Which of these two UI layouts works better?

can you at least try to be nice to me

>>537888029
were you ever nice to me?

>>537888029
i will try, i have no reason not to be nice to you

>>537887958
okay but this doesn't have anything to do with gamedev, although, yes, i do want to do what's impossible, and yes, it hurts that i can't, i was so motivated before the reality sank in.

5 niggas in a circle

8 trans niggas in a discord server jerking each other off even tho their games are mid

>>537886067
>>537887128
Every game i love is either made with an in house engine or source engine. Ill entertain the idea of using one of the popular engines AFTER i play a game that has good movement made with one. That hasnt happened yet.

>>537888654
Glad she had a nice day

>>537888876
shut up retard

>>537888876
Actually no, i changed my mind, id rather be tortured to death than use an engine
>>537888965
Projecting because you cant code good movement?

>>537889038
no just tired of listening to you beg for someone to wipe your ass for you

Eating "healthy" has been sabotaging my gamedev. It's bad for the soul.
My creative output and motivation and drive have increased dramatically since I started enjoying good food. And by good food I mean very bad very tasty food.
But that's because (I)'m motivated by food. Whatever (You)r vices are and whatever you're wasting your energy resisting every day, try indulging in them and see if they will help you make a better game or at least make gamedev better even if the game will be the same flop it would have been in any case.

>>537889069
Im not doing that. But you are clearly angry and projecting because you cant write code at all little enginlet, go back to having tim do every bit of real work for you, your lego set game is gonna be soooo epic right?

>>537888654
The stand-up app looks more exciting than the game she's working on.

You boys ready for DD?

turns out that's how you get 20 reviews in the first month after 6 years of development.

>>537889921
Should have made a game that people actually want to play

>>537889213
You said in the last thread all you've done is make a box move around on screen, and it goes diagonal faster because you're not normalising it.

You're living proof that the loudest most obnoxious spergs in the thread are retarded nodev tourists

>>537889921
>>537890007
that studio made a 2000+ review game in 2016, 160 review game in 2021 and a 20 review game in 2025.
just in case some of you think gamedev is like a RPG where you just make progress. chances are your first game will be your most successful game. that's how much skills and experience and fanbases are worth.

>>537890192
>>537889921
shouldnt be particularly surprising if you just look at the games, even after watching the trailer for the most recent one i have basically no idea what the game is about. it just looks like their goal was to make a "co-op game" with no further vision than that

>>537890186
>i take the pre made character controller lego and connect it to the pre made 3rd person camera lego and connect it to the pre made physics engine lego and connect it to the pre made npc lego ans connect it to the pre made interactable object lego and...

what are you, twelve?

/v/3guy here.

Before we start the next season of the show and start accepting submissions for the December show (which I am not running), I want to know what you'd like to see from us going forward so I can take the feedback to the other organizer for his show, and use that for the next summer. All genuine criticisms and suggestions will be considered.

>>537890602
comfy life, enjoy it while it lasts

>>537890602
same. I'm 39

>>537890754
why is there a december anyway? isnt the joke that its the spiritual successor to e3? why have two? if theres gonna be a 2 make it have a different theme than v3

>>537890635
who are the billion niggas playing my demo and following my shit?

>>537890186
What is your game again? oh right it's hollow knight silksong

>>537890947
>why is there a december anyway?
We got enough people saying that they didn't like the summer show/wanted a more serious show and we're upset they didn't make it to the summer show that we opened up a second winter show. Believe it or not, there was enough devs who participated to where we feel it's ok to run this.
>isnt the joke that its the spiritual successor to e3?
Initially it was but now it's kinda become it's own thing which is why it's not "/v/3" but rather "v3expo". That and Nazis.
>if theres gonna be a 2 make it have a different theme than v3
Yeah the summer themes are different than winter. For example, the winter show will be Christmas themed while next summer will be Vaporware Beach themed. Plus the winter show is more focused and significantly less jokey than summer.

mr tentacles is in

>>537891309
I meant vaporwave beach themed. My bad.

>>537891467
fuck off innercircler

>>537891309
>that and nazis
are you banning chud games or something? I'm in development hell so i never tried to apply
>theme
no i dont mean topic i mean branding. like how japan/nintendo had spaceworld.

>>537890583
Nobody cares how hard you work to make something, only that the thing you make is good and all the time you spend reinventing wheels that other people have made better than you ever coupe, the less time you get to actually make games.

Yeah I'm going to use a "premade physics engine lego" because I don't want to implement highly performant GJK convex polygon collision detection in C, I want to make a game.

Also why are you using the raylib premade lego set? Write your own Vulkan renderer, why are you using a premade compiler written by someone else? Make your own programming language. Why you using a premade operating system? Pathetic.

Unless you're Terry A Davis shut the fuck up

>>537891223
haha its not like my games theme is a tie in to that or anything haha.

>>537891530
>are you banning chud games or something
No no not like that at all. When you looked up /v/3 on Google you couldn't find us but you could find a Nazi prototype super weapon called "v3" which is why we rebranded.
>Theme
The other one is technically just "The /v/erdict" so that's our different name for it. It's played off like a newscast

what ever happened to alchemikal?

>open unity
>realize how much time setting up enemy ai will take
>realize it makes zero money
>close it and never open it again
this is me on gamedev

>>537891760
I think it should be /v/3xpo

that will make it leet, identifiable in a search engine, and cringe all at once.

>>537890754

>>537891467
Looks cool

The inner circle has hacked 4chan.

Every time you post in this thread 4chan installs a botnet node on your computer. The inner circle will activate this botnet during demoday to inflate their members' games popularity. Watch out for games being downloaded and played on your pc without your knowledge, if you are not vigilant you could end up with a copy of (A)woken on your computer.

Good movement matters to me and i havent seen any evidence at all that its possible with unity or unreal. Its not about working hard, its about QUALITY OF GAMEPLAY and the END RESULT!

equivalent of jews doing "da joos" bit, just face the consequences of your actions you tried to make /agdg/ an apartheid gamedev community with a caste system so it's not surprising everyone hates you
/agdg/ should be a meritocracy, no hugboxing your 'cord erp buddies, no crabbing devs you dont know or get threatened by because of their GMI aura

>>537892891
They can't post it here because it doesn't exist.

>>537892814
(a)woken isn't bad, despite the guy's self deprecation.

>>537892891
I use AI and discourage others from using it. You'd be wise to do the same. the less of them using it the better your chances are.

>>537893142
If this post is sincere I agree 100%

I’m glad i’m not so called game dev. I’m an artist

The guy constantly spamming the thread with his “inner circle” shit is clearly underaged, right?

>>537893203
Nice try inner circle shill

>>537893050
>the game used to hold a 1/5 rating, because it was broken and didn't work
>but ever since he's done literally no work on it, it just got more popular because of another game, suddenly now the game is actually 4/5 and very good

Lesson learned, make something popular. If something is popular, it's good. Popularity = Good, even if it's bad, it's still good if it's popular.

I agree but to be clear, inner circle doesn't mean all yesdevs, it only means devs I don't like.

>>537893087

I’d prefer to believe he’s under aged rather than a grown man so mentally stunted that he types like a child who just learned what online trolling is

What do you do when you can't find the energy to make any progress, even small progress? I guess I'm depressed but I don't feel sad. I just feel a neurological-level inability to do anything I need to do

>>537893495
The inner circle is a very specific group of clique-obsessed faggot devs who can't take criticism and support each other on the basis of being friends while undermining and suppressing all other games no matter how good they are. They are antithetical to the spirit of /agdg/ because this is supposed to be a hobby community, therefore the most important thing should be your work, not your spamming of funny images or derailing the thread because you're bored/horny/depressed

>>537893701

of course im gonna need a few months to add and finetune content but the game is almost done
>>537893215
i dont believe in that, i will help anyone who needs it, i dont think normalfags will be able to make anything valuable with AI because they're not artists in first place, a lot of people think that art is about grinding but its closer to a personality trait and genetics

>>537892995
If its not possible in those engines then it won't be possible in your engine. There's nothing about other game engines that prevents you from building good character movement. But there are things stopping you from building good character movement if you write your own engine. Things like:
>needing to write an fbx or glb model importer
>needing to write a 3d model animation system.
>needing to write a physics engine with arbitrary convex polygon collision detection
>needing to write an audio system
>needing to write a particle system
>needing to write a level editor
All before you can actually write your character controller because part of good movement is good feedback and visuals, and making a box move around isn't going to get you there.

Youre trying to start building a pyramid from the top.

Rule the waves 2 was better, they streamlined the UI in 3 to try to get a broader audience but ended up combining too many elements and losing the a lot of the depth.

>the slashes!!
nobody pronounces those /v/irgin.

>>537873771
that's a good idea actually, get around all the voices sounding the same by using different people for different voices. Hmm I should add a "record this voiceline" button to my text boxes so that players can record & submit their own voice over with a little disclaimer appear on screen saying transferred all rights to game developer automatically upon upload or something. stealing this.

If I had unlimited or couple of millions, I would just rent out or buy a cheap apartament and I would dev like theres no tommorow, just for the sake of it

>>537894812

Damn it, I'm retarded, I haven't finished the levels I was hoping to do before DD, why it's happening!

yes. and it would make bucket loads of money if it was friendslop. yiff in hell is a good name for it.

>>537893727

>>537895036
*btw furries would end up as your primary audience.

>>537888007
add a formation system like AoE2 had

you got all in a line (only top guy can receive melee attacks, every one behind him restricted to ranged attacks, -% to hit the further back they are)

all in a row (all can attack freely as per normal)

You got delta formation (two melees in the middle, two flank guys cannot melee attack and have -% to hit but are themselves protected from enemy melee attacks)

V formation (defeats enemy line formation with a strong tank out front gimmick)

and box formation of an inverted T like the arrow keys (one caster in the middle protected from melee in ambush fights)

and you move the portraits around either the bottom or up the sides to show the formations your party is in

Mongol x Blood Meridian, a simple fps where you play as Judge Holden.

agdg IS a meritocracy. If your game failed it's because it's a bad game, not because the inner circle is out to get you. Hell, the inner circle proves the meritocratic nature of agdg. Despite their concentrated efforts of the inner circle to promote their own, the bad inner circle games continue to fail to get attention on agdg anyways.

The world is perfectly just. Bad games always fail, good games always succeed.

I was thinking, virtual machines have gotten shitter like you used to be able to get full HW accel in VMware and Virtualbox but latest virtualbox and VMware have gone to shit you cant even get basic DirectX 11 HW accel working in them anymore, and game engines have increased their GFX API requirements lately, its like, you pretty much have to run itch.io downloads directly, like directly on your actual computer not in a VM. And your old burner laptop from ebay for $100? no longer can even play a basic godot game, complains about GFX api. run it with an arg to bypass? visuals are just an empty skybox horizon, none of the game assets are visible even the UI is missing. Viruses must be spreading worse than ever before I'd say...
>>537895541
yeah pretty much, also, its filled with other devs who themselves barely even play games. give a basic game that does so-so to the general public, will be COMPLETELY ignored in this thread because guys making their own game have absolutely no time for mediocre mid games, for the most part only games with stealable mechanics or undeniable juice and appeal will get any traction. But a concerted schizo can still spam posts and replies about a game he has a personal boner on and fake its popularity, it wouldn't take much. thread probably doesn't have that many unique posters after all.

>>537896154
oh? that's crazy, where is the game then since AI is making it?
i make the game design, art, write the story and dialogue, AI is just a codemonkey and i wouldn't even use it if programmers weren't the laziest and most unreliable members of any collab, trust me i tried

What do you normally do? Even if you don't feel into doing what you need, you have to do something. Gooning maybe? If so, do some good cardio (you're doing it already while gooning lol) until you cannot even breathe.
When I was depressed the most insignificant thing paused my desire to do things for weeks. This >>537893957 helps A LOT.
The first and most important step is to recognize that you have a problem. Also you can try some mental health videos.

>>537896684
I've made like 30 games at this point, all of which were rightly ignored because they were genuinely bad games that didn't deserve attention. If your game is ignored it's because your game is bad.

from the top of my head. There's more like Moku, Deadwire, Cosmic Construct, Landsword, Eastern Flower and plenty more. What you fail to understand is that Blorb and Gobario were short learning projects from devs that one day showed up and tried their damnest to have something ready for demoday in like a month. I wouldn't call Nortubel popular, it has a meme status because dev was posting lore and his drawings all the time while also being very chill. From these games I'd say that only Awoken brings real weight - big levels, mech fighting, different weapons, everything modelled in 3D. It's impressive even though I'm not into mecha games. I also don't understand why you hate Cosmic Call so much. Yea, it's a simple arena shooter roguelike with very basic graphics but at least dev finished his project, sold couple of copies and moved on to another project (also memeworthy)

>>537896982
So all the jobs that don't do any actual work

>>537895919
the driving game. the busted metal or w/e its called. that one was fun. and I also liked that magic girl roguelite against the floors of terrorists thought that could be cool. and those crappy mspaint VNs with the bluehair phonegirl those are pretty interesting to me. I kinda like the aesthetic of dreams of joy departed as well but the gameplay style is a bit too boring to me I only played like 45 min of that and not too interested to play more unironically I'd rather watch a streamer play it than play it myself lmao

I would respect a lot of you if you had any integrity or wisdom or talent or enthusiasm or a soul or even an interesting game concept that just hasn't been fully realized yet, but you have none of those things. I cannot stand you deformed creatures of evil. You're not human beings deserving of dignity or respect. I haven't even seen any basic intelligence like the one you would see in a dog.

>>537897341
Game dev is an autism magnet, so it's hard to tell if you're talking to neckbeards or to children.

>>537897341
Too many NEETs think that gamedev is the equivalent of a lottery ticket
When they realize that gamedev is a lot of work they stop trying but stay here and pollute the place.

A. You need to give some margins if you want things to look nice. Pushing to use all the screen space is bad.

You can put less important shit near the edge if you really have to.

More than that, as Newton was dying he bragged that dying a virgin was his life's greatest accomplishment.

The amount of time you'd need to get your game to automatically record, upload the recordings, put the UI throughout your game to record lines, and the time spent reviewing the recordings... Just get a job at McDonald's and pay a voice actor.

>>537898354
=VwV=

>>537898286
Not a mistake, I think I basically rediscovered the reasons why we use chords today instead of freeflowing shit like in the baroque.

Chords are just shortcuts to write stuff.

A chord can function as the guideline to write stuff like the high melody voice, the bass, the root pad.

It's basically like a very condense form of the 4 baroque voice writing.

I can literally talk now for like 30 minutes from just a single jazz chord.

This general actually died when Underspace flopped and everyone turned on Trainwiz. If that game couldn't hit 1k in it's first month then who else from agdg could?
That was the day the crabs won

what do you use for writing down tasks beyond the one you're currently working on? I've tried a dedicated paper and pencil book and I've tried obsidian, but they are both too disorganized for me once I made many notes

I think the book was the best so far because I'd do a little [ ] empty box to the left of stuff and tick it if i done it or cross the whole line out if I canceled it

do any use kanban stuff? how do you find it?

I'm one of them. I've tweaked my game probably 20 times to make it easier to understand, and not one of the changes has helped in any capacity.
Actually 70% of these changes were from feedback so my game is like a kaleidoscope where everyone has their own hyper specific issue that they also don't want me to know about.

Is it possible to make a compelling game out of this?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKWLu6UHryQ
The video got almost 7 million views ($20-25k in ad revenue) so there's got to be something appealing that can be turned into a game.

I'm just using the one that comes with self hosted gitlab, only just started so dunno if its actually going to work good though

You wanna know what the funniest thing about the "post your game" schizo is? You can just tell from the way he posts he's just feverishly salivating at the mouth for a chance to smear someone's game. He thinks he's so clever but his tactics are transparent as air. As long as nobody posts his game the assumption is that the posters posting outrageous things are someone with a shit game that's completely unimportant, so he thinks he has the advantage. If someone dares to post his game, the better the game is the better it will be for the schizo because then he can say "I knew it, you have the wrong opinions so now I will dedicate my life to spamming this everywhere" because you just know that he hates some of the more successful yesdevs and is just waiting for the devs to "expose themselves" as unfriendly chuds so he can act righteous about hating the game the entire time.
This always was and always will be about you seething crabs hating some of the games and looking for an excuse to tear down the devs. You need to bring us to your level because you have nothing else. You feel fine being at the bottom because you got nothing to lose, but love dragging the people who have everything to lose because that's the only way you can feel powerful and important

>>537900964
im sure you could make some simulator slop like that job simulator one and make bank
just make it hard to control so it makes a mess of things for le streamer content and let people spit in the burgers
now i think about it, you could combine it to a papersplease-like where you deliberately make shitty burgers for people you dont like

>>537897341
It's delusional NEETs hoping they can dump their passion project randomly onto Steam with zero pre-emptive business strategy and get rich. This rarely happens. They view it as a lottery ticket because they treat it like a gamble. The serious developers treat the process like a professional business, and their results align with their effort.
I can't imagine being willing to devote years of your life towards making a game in hopes of getting rich, without putting any effort into ensuring this result will occur. It's foolish, and reeks of a spoiled manchild taking advantage of the freedom of his youth.
When their games inevitably fail, and they need to find a job or end up homeless, working 40+ hours per week will make them regret not treating this pursuit with more respect.
If you're not willing to do market research and confirm an audience exists for your game before you spend years working on it, at least try to develop and audience on the side while developing it. Please. You're wasting the most valuable years of your life on delusional art projects. This is not wise.

I feel like the pajeet nodevs are beginning to be filtered these past few threads. They now revolve around posting wall of texts (that i will not give (You)s) like an actual tranny making a meme, because they are desperate of having our attentions.

>>537900440
i get that you want the background to be subdued and not add to visual noise so you might (?) not want to normal map it, but maybe parallax layers or something, it kind of looks like those town mats that day cars have. or some carpet pattern.

not sure how parallax on town would work, if you scroll the streets slower than the buildings then they wont line up eventually. you should def separate the over passes and scroll them slightly faster than the rest so that by the time they reach bottom screen the front walls are almost covered.

maybe if each building was its own sprite object and you vertical scaled them shorter slightly as they go to the bottom.

or maybe just some faint cloud cover that is clipped by buildings at mid height.

Actually I think the queue that is really making it look flat is the fighter and option bits shadows. maybe ya can vertically offset the shadows based on what invisible polygon they are on, and you draw metadata polygons (like frame data) over the bg that scroll with it that say the "height" of the ground under it and offset them like that. Theres probably a way to do it with a shader (pass current position as a uniform) and a depth map.

you could get photoshop, but the background in it, make a new layer, and get a fat brush, set layer to 50% trans, and paint red over roads and ground floor of buildings, green over highway, blue over the top half of buildings, then on the screen XY you put a shadow, use math to take in the scroll position of the BG for the corresponding BG XY, then use that XY to lookup the shadow offset map, and then based on the color at that position, shift the shadow +Y or -Y by a fixed amount, then the shadows would hop up and down over terrain and maybe it wouldn't look like a flat poster

Are you putting any effort into ensuring the financial viability of your games? You'll probably fail if you don't. The wagecage awaits you if you don't take this seriously. You don't need to become soulless and abandon your passion, but you should put implement at least some conventional business procedures to ensure your games won't horrendously fail. The regret will haunt you forever. When you begin working, you'll have very little time or energy left to work on games. Treat this pursuit with respect.

>>537903034
This phenomenon isn't exclusive to /agdg/. It's common across all indie dev communities.
I understand that we can enjoy the process of making games without considering financial feasibility, but the time will come when you simply can't afford to do this any more, and if your passion is real, that moment will hurt.
If you genuinely enjoy making games, it is imperative to try to ensure that you can continue to make games in the future. Accounting for effective revenue generation allows for this.
Ask any former indie dev what happens when their games flop and they're forced to get a "real" job. The process dies.
I'm just trying to account for the future. Maybe this is unwise.

My game will be a huge success on DD. People are going to praise it nonstop and be very excited about it!

>>537902230

>>537903602
Yeah but what /agdg/ games do you have in mind? Do you even realize that making successful in-demand games necessitates taking an anti-business approach in the first place? This is a complex field.

I was in the thread on /v/ last night, anons argued that Cave Story should be GOTY in 2004. I played it and thought it was a neat little game for free but I wouldn't dare to call it GOTY material. When you think about it, that game is super small and has very little to offer in terms of mechanics or challenges, yet people are still praising it for what it is.
When in doubt, always think that even something like Cave Story can have a cult following and your game surely can do better.

/agdg/ is dominated by a mafia that believes only a select handful of genres are interesting and important and everyone else can go fuck themselves. They believe they are right because they are together with other people like them and they think that gives them power. That's an echo chamber

Most depressing thing about grants is that it's all based around nepotism and woke politics. In Norway, the retards who made Dustborn received more funding weeks after it flopped. Meanwhile, any regular person will get their applications rejected.

Epic takes nothing up to 1 mil (outside the same 100 bucks license fee as steam) but setting up anything on it is a fucking chore and barely anyone uses it. I can't even imagine reaching that revenue over there but I believe it's worth diversifying

Hey aggy,
Here's a sample of 3 story mode backgrounds that I've made so far. I'll have way more eventually, I'm getting the hang of it now. Soon I'll start working on the real story of the game.

You basically just sit in the same room and talk about stuff you're both kind of interested in while occasionally complaining about other events in your life and they kind of show faux support for it but actually don't care that much.

a game where you wrestle twinks

Remember to not submit your demo as soon as submissions open. A large flood of demos as soon as submissions open makes a bad first impression with players.

>>537914019

>>537916739
Well I think you're being hyperbolic, I do think you're right that the Dark Souls megawave carried a ton of games that otherwise wouldn't have been that successful.
Namely Salt and Sanctuary, Thymesia, Ashen, etc.

Oh, the schizos are back.

Sadly. I would've bought it day 1.

We're coming up on Demo Day 64, and you'd like to get something back from all your hard effort.
I will make a generous donation to your demo if you add a screen at the beginning that says "I'm a farty fart man with a big smelly butt that smells like farts". It must be unskippable and stay present and visible for at least 5 seconds.
Note that for any qualifying games I'll be waiting a week to make sure you don't just immediately replace it.
I don't want to list an exact amount, because a game where it really doesn't fit in, or going "the extra mile" (fart noises in your soundtrack, especially in a serious game, things like that) will be rewarded more heavily.
Life handed me some bounty with Bitcoin and GME, so I'm more than happy to "give a little back" ;)

Humiliate yourself for money.

>How do I sign up?
Just add what I said to your game, and post in the thread at some point: "I'm a farty fart man with a big smelly butt that smells like farts" with a link to your game. I have something that will be looking for exactly that phrase.
Add additional notes if you have any such as "I added a fart sound to my music" and how it can be heard for verification.

>>537921124
I'll do it but you have to make 20% front payment first, then pay in installments of 10% for every day it's present. I'm waiting for your donation.

I doubt he even can because it's published/funded by 3d Realms.

>>537923501
Demo Day was fine for like the first 10 or 20 iterations. I remember when I participated, prettysober was streaming for the first or second time, and DD was just a small thing going in the background. The thread didn't really revolve around it.
At some point though a sort of satellite community formed around DD and it completely overtook the thread. You have people spamming about DD for a whole week before it happens, spamming the thread for all the days it's taking place, and then also spamming the thread for a week after it ended. And don't get me started on people who never participate in the thread but submit to DD anyway. Much like E3, the event completely lost its soul and thread itself got damaged in the crossfire.

>>537924256

The fix to DD would be simple: ban resubmissions. You are only allowed to submit the same game to DD a single time, just like NextFest.

Do you guys ever tell the girls you’re dating that you’re a game dev? How do they react? I’ve been on a few dates with this girl who’s pretty interested in video games but I haven’t told her about my game yet since I’m worried it’ll look like I’m trying too hard to impress her. I’m looking for an opportunity to slip it into a conversation casually like it’s no big deal.

In my case the reactions were ambivalent to negative, sample size around 12 before I learned to stfu.
They were mostly in their late 20s or even early 30s and like a third of them had phds (university town) so they probably see gamedevs as below them professionally.

https://youtu.be/IdpD5QIVOKQ?si=XQd4gBGNsaTLunb4
So I was watching this presentation of JAI by John Blow and I was thinking "damn this guy is kinda smart actually, all those neats features, made for his game", it just makes me appreciate just how much work goes into a game like this...

And then I remembered that eventually, the fucking subhuman disgusting retard on /v/ or on Steam who can barely comprehend the English language will get his hands on the game and shit on it for not handholding him through everything and god... I fucking hate gamers so much. Literally the most subhuman creatures out there.

That only affects gamedevs. Gamers have never had more and better choice in games for the least money.

From all the trailers I've watched in that indie showcase, 100% of "cozy" games were being made by females and they all sucked in various ways. No offense.

Proggy is almost done.

>women make up 50% of gamers
Yeah, in Candy Crush, The Sims, and Animal Crossing. These people need to stop lying to themselves and everybody else.

>>537927452
that's because most other games suck

Couldn't get past the tutorial level in Cuphead, huh?

>>537927398
literally every dev in that video is a troon except maybe the last one, it's baffling
rusted moss is shockin because the dev was an inspiration for me few years ago in the gamemaker community, then he released a female protagonist game and trooned out, fucking sad shit

>>537927479
It is a tragedy that the best and brightest minds of the world are all being wasted on trivialities. Nobody with actual talent and ability should be wasted on something as worthless as video games.

The thing is, the average gamer is SO SUBHUMAN they don't even know. Literally. They're incapable of checking the Steam or GOG storefront on their own for cool indie or old games on sale. They're only capable of consuming games through a sort of "bandwagon consensus". Can you even picture how low of an IQ such a creature has? And then it goes onto the Internet to complain how "there are no games to play!"

>a horror game about mining
>you have to dig while hiding from the spooky monster in the tunnels

Stealing this trillion dollar franchise idea.

video games aren't worthless
they help people feel empowered and connect with others in a world where that is increasingly difficult
theres nothing wrong with singing a lullaby to a dying world

Is there a way to mute an error in godot, this stupid debugger thinks it knows better than me if my function works as expect or shits itself

>theres nothing wrong with singing a lullaby to a dying world
There is everything wrong when you could legitimately be saving the world instead

>>537927680
i haven't played cuphead, difficult games aren't appealing

>>537928019
oh good idea brother let me just push the waves back into the deep sea with the palms of my hands

>>537928070
That's why you're not a real gamer. Enjoy your shartdew.

>>537927826
To add to this, go ahead and tell the average gamer complaining about the games industry
>You have more and better choice in games for the least money nowadays!
See how well that works out for you.
And I'm not just talking about /v/ here, it's everywhere. Reddit, YouTube, Twitter, Discord, Facebook - wherever the fuck. The response will be exactly the same: incessant seething and calling you names like an ape.

>>537926841
men are nodevs, women are yesdevs, except for that one female nodev, but we don't talk about her

>>537928198
nta but if you're a "real gamer" you don't belong here. we don't play games here for the same reasons gamer plebes do.

>>537928419
You play them for the "art". Sure thing, nodev.
