thoughts on megabonk? how we reproduce its success sirs

>>542749494
kys

>>542749494
megabonk but 2D. surely no one came up with something like that.

I'm running out of ideas beyond start making the assets and visual polish and music as to what to add to the gameplay, before starting making the assets.

>>542749265 (OP)
cope

FUCKING FATFUCK GABENCUNT!!!!! WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME????? FUCK!!!!!!

Just like make a good fun game that people want to play.

>>542749637
so what was your initial idea for this game? did you not know what you wanted the gameplay to be?

>>542749806
I usually start from a character walking and then start to add one mechanic by one until I feel is complete.

My initial idea was a vampire survivor about maids but H.

>>542749781
But people want to play slop not fun games

>>542749781
Stardew Valley convinced me people will buy your game even if it looks like shit, if it is fun enough

>>542750209
shartdew tranney is a psyop made by a Boeing affiliated nepobaby, dont compare yourself to that you fucking PEASANT

>>542749781
But that's too hard. Can't I just make up for the game not being fun and people not wanting to play it with marketing?

we live in a world where both Euro Truck Simulator and Undertale are fun for millions of people. you just need to figure out what kind of people will find your game fun and show it to them.

I need a >make pong
anon, but something a bit smarter.

I need a a small project to learn how to build stacking effects. modifiers, triggers that activate other effects, the whole roguelite shebang.
Ideaguys?

>>542750853
There is no point making pong in 2025, the pong of today the absolute baseline is something like vampire survivors.

>>542750853
I made a survivors-like for a game jam before.

who wants to be my accountability buddy? we can share progress and feedback with each other for our projects :D

>>542750853
why not just make your game and learn those along the way

indie dev advice time
just make a good game
that people want to play
and inform them of its existence
and they will purchase it
and play it
and enjoy it
and you will make enough money to make more games
but if you skip out on making the game good, they won't purchase it, and they won't play it, and they won't enjoy it
and if you skip out on informing them of its existence, they won't even look at it
and if you make an incorrect assumption on your game being good, or people wanting to play it, or people being made aware of its existence, then you will either receive negative reviews and flop, or people won't purchase and play it, or the wrong people will be made aware of it and they won't want to play it
you need confirmation of your metrics above all else
you can not afford to miscalculate

>>542751207
i would like that...

>>542750853
make some sort of arcade game like one of those bullet hell top-down games.

idr the names of any, but something like those flash games where it was top down and you flew a plane shooting at enemies.
there were upgrades for bullets, speed, shields, and all that sort of stuff you'd see in roguelites.

>hmm i wanna learn to drive a car
>i better drive a tricycle, bicycle, motorbike, horse, and quadbike first

>>542750853
We've moved on from that advice. Make Geometry Wars is the ideal first project.

>>542751268
lol no, this is all wrong.

Just make a GOOD game, man. Passion is everything. You don’t need all this marketing nonsense, you don’t need analytics, you don’t need to chase trends or force people to "care" about your game. If it’s good, people will find it. It's all about the soul of the game, not some numbers game where you tweak things based on what some random metrics say. Look at Undertale, look at Hollow Knight, they didn’t get big because of all this “exposure” stuff. They got big because they were PURELY made with love and creativity. If your game doesn’t have that, it doesn’t matter how much you throw at marketing, it's just gonna flop.

All these people who are trying to “optimize” everything are just wasting their time. Games made out of real passion don’t need focus groups or beta tests. If your game has heart, people will feel it. Sure, you might not get a huge crowd at first, but eventually, someone will notice, and it’ll snowball.

Trying to "prove" your game is good with metrics and feedback before it's even finished? That's just losing the point. You’re not some soulless marketing machine; you’re an artist. You make something great, and you let it find its way. All this “being sure it’s good” nonsense is just you being scared your passion isn’t enough. Just trust the process. If you don’t believe in your own creation, why even bother?

>>542751297
discord?

>>542751501
sorry i just deleted my discord because i spent too much time on there every day instead of making a game

Who was the last successful dev from here? Probably that anime girl that fights against mechs game.

>>542751268
Making a good game is essential, but it's not the whole picture. “Good” doesn’t just mean polished or passionate - it means something people actually want to play. That means understanding your audience, testing your core ideas early, and being honest with yourself about what works and what doesn’t. Passion is important, but passion alone doesn’t guarantee fun, or clarity, or value. You need feedback loops, playtests, and iteration to make sure your game delivers what you think it does. Blindly trusting your instincts without validation is a gamble, especially when time and resources are limited.

On the flip side, marketing isn’t about being loud or pushy - it’s about making sure the right people see your game at the right time. Visibility is half the battle. If no one knows your game exists, its quality doesn’t matter. But bad marketing can’t save a weak product either. Success in indie dev comes from alignment: a well-made game, shown to the right audience, with confirmed appeal. You don’t need to sell out or go viral - you just need to connect with the people who genuinely want what you’re making.

>>542751227
Because that's a retarded idea. It's a complex system that's built by layers and I don't want to discover I chose a bad approach after 40 hours. I'd rather spend those 40h testing approaches in a small game first.

one more feature to do today, then i can relax

>>542751268
This is all correct, although I would omit the part about "make enough money to make more games", forget about that because that's part of pipedreaming mentality that is harmful to succeeding with your one game. But everything else said correctly applies to the one game you want to succeed.

>>542751474
Ignore this cope rot. Anon wants to believe he's a magical wizard who will craft a secret game so wonderful that when he releases it the birds and the trees will advertise it for him.

>>542751474
Both Undertale and Hollow Knight are designed with the audience in mind first and foremost. Most indies who fail are failing because they are too self-centered and lack empathy.

>>542751663
I always make sure to separate "good game" and "game that people want to play" because they are largely independent factors.

>separate "good game" and "game that people want to play"
it's honestly sad to see indie games that are objectively good in terms of their quality go underappreciated because they simply weren't designed to be enjoyed by a realistic audience
but at the same time, you have to be realistic, a game designed on principles from 20+ years ago won't work any more, people aren't bored enough in the modern era

welcome to the flopdev club, my first 2 games flopped but im getting some decent wishlist velocity for the third

hey I WANNA MAKE GAMEDEV FRIENDS WHERE ARE YOU

If my game has a square grid should I give units a separate (reduced) movement speed when traveling diagonally?
If I takes 1 second to travel 1 unit North, for example, then traveling 1 unit North West would take 1.4 seconds.
Or would it be smarter to just weigh the pathfinding so it avoids going diagonal very often

its gonna be winter season soon, its my favorite season to dev im excited
i hope israel gets nuked btw

Think about it this way: assuming money wasn't a factor, would you enjoy eating at Michelin starred restaurants for every meal? It would be such an ordeal to have to dress up and sit down at these fancy establishments all the time. I know I'd get tired of it real quick, and would rather eat some easy and quick slop for most of my meals.

Stardew looked like a Harvest Moon game which is what people wanted.
People didn't look at it and say "THIS LOOKS SO FUN WOW" because that's not how gamers think.
And nobody looked at it and said "this looks like shit" except jealous coping weirdos like some of you.

You guys are so out of touch and envious and bitter it's hilarious.

first time here, what's the general opinion of autists that build their game truly from scratch without pre-existing engines or tools?

>>542753759

that's nothing like what the game ended up looking like and every steam commenter that bitched about it looking bad was 100% right

another pogodev attention seeking post that adds nothing to the jobbyversation

i cant do this, i cant do this hobby/jobby

I'm literally making pong breakout maid roguelite hentai VN.

And I want basically make the game about collecting stuff rather than kill or be killed.

Pretty sure this game will appeal to collector fags.

I'm not pogodev, but pogodev is right. Pogodev predicted this.

>>542751474
Retarded straw man. Passion doesn’t make a game good. Play testing makes games good. Play testing and user acceptance testing are not marketing and it’s frankly evil that you keep trying to pretend they are just to salvage your marketing is everything thesis.

>>542751932
>>542752428
Good game and game people want to play are the same thing by definition. If people don’t want to play it then it’s not good. Only the marketing anon keeps insisting that good is “passion” or some other nonsense just to save his stupid thesis. How petty can you be that you want other agdg devs to waste their time not making their games good?

>>542753916
>>542754116

Pogodev incinerate this thread

>>542754836
I think it's more practical to think about "good" as quality, fidelity, and competence in implementation. Players are willing to forgive a lot of "bad" in games if they want to play it badly enough.

https://youtu.be/M8yhZ-PyAfM

Reality is beginning to set in. You are beginning to understand the unpleasant truth of your situation.
How do you react? With rage? Do you let the fire in your heart consume you? Will you lash out, attack, damage, and harm all that which you can?
Or do you embrace the underlying sorrow? Do you despair? Do you abandon all hope? And quit?
Or do you do what you know you must?
Do you resist?
Do you fight?
Do you continue marching forwards, through the flames of despair, hatred, and regret?
Do you refuse to abandon the spark of hope that persists in your soul?
Do you choose to acquire the success that you know deep down within your soul belongs to you? The success that was destined for you since the beginning of time itself?
Go.
Do what must be done.
Finish this.

>>542754836
>Play testing and user acceptance testing are not marketing
True. Basically anything that involves actually showing his game to other people instead of just sneakily pushing it out onto steam scares him and he tries to deride it. So basically all of marketing and essential parts of development.

>>542757147
It's an obvious aside point that goes without saying, but he has to say it because some people do think marketing can sell a bad game.

When you and the other mouthbreather keep saying "just make good game" like it's some kind of epiphany, you aren't saying anything of value. Zukowski has informative content that is of value, but he says one thing that you are able to digest (make a good game) and you cling to it.

>>542757448

Oh fuck. That's a big mistake. Maybe he thinks the map editor will carry it?

talmbout me? im not upset by anything you schizos say i do not value it nor do i act on it
in my opinion if you need help on anything not code related from /agdg/ then you should reevaluate what your doing

>>542757537
I never say "just make good game". I always make sure to include "game that people want to play", because I believe that's more important. A bad game that people want to play typically sells better than a good game that people don't want to play.

cuffbust characters look ugly as shit

>1 map for 10 min gameplay
>too simple
>balance is a joke

>start the rounds already in the "escape" state
>custom map editor bigger than the game itself, implying players would make the content

marketing is a multiplier.
it will (for example) double your income.
but if your game was going to earn $50, then marketing to get $100 isn't worth the effort.

>>542757418

I already have them on different layers and masks and I have exclude parent checked on the shapecast and exclude self in the ready function. No matter what if I have this stupid fucking collisionshape2D on my character I can glitch through certain walls.

>>542759180
nice AIshart

And fully done.
>>542764475
1) Work by objective, today I do an asset, or implement this feature, this kind of thing
2) Better do 20 minute per day than forcing yourself to do five hours a day.

>>542764907
Are you trying to move really fast? If so, you might need to enable continuous collision detection and/or increase the physics tick rate.

>>542765394
No I'm not moving fast and I'm snapping to a grid using shapecast. It works perfectly fine on it's own. For whatever reason if I add a collisionshape2d to the player it completely disrupts everything even if I exclude self and parent and theres no way to exclude the collisionshape2d from shapecast directly

Remember when Fagoon admitted he's gay?

>>542765917
who

>>542765917
It was not shocking at all

there's several types of devs:
depressed ones
motivated ones
productive ones
consistent ones
lazy ones
intelligent ones
skilled ones
unskilled ones

but, they have all one thing in common:
they ngmi and their game doesn't sell

>>542765614
If you're trying to snap to a grid, you should not be using the built-in physics at all.

If your scene tree looks like
>Player (CharacterBody2D)
>>ShapeCast2D
>>CollisionShape2D
Then you need the Layer on the Player CharacterBody2D to be different from the Mask on the ShapeCast2D.

>>542749265 (OP)
anyone wants to share their steam numbers?

>to be released
>14% impressions to visits
>3% visits to wishlists

is my character design GMI?

>AliceFag is shitting his pants and trying to play it off as nonsense in the 'Cord
Shoutout to cidr for standing on business. Bugmen like that freak fear me.

Rate my new gamedev setup, chuds.

>>542766115
Conversion rates do not matter. In fact, the better a game does, the worse the conversion rates tend to be because Steam will give you more frivolous non-converting impressions due to sheer volume.

>>542766279
Any particular reason why your cum sock is crawling up the wall?

>>542764312
A proper prison break immersive sim with multiplayer would've been really cool

Thought I'd share this as well, since AliceFag is online on the shitcord

>>542766082
I'm not using built in physics, that's the whole point of the shapecast without it I would just walk through all the colliders for the walls. The layers are all correct it's not a layer issue. The collisionshape2d existing at all on the player node distrupts the shapecast

>>542766247
@Cris how much do you weigh?

Fagoon no one cares that you're a gay twink pedo just go away though please

its impossible for manlets to make games

I see you're online, AliceFag.

this year i started finding joy in doing things i can actually finish. but i've quit gamedev because i did that. what would be a way to get back into gamedev? small mobile games monetized with ads?

>>542766838
Okay I think I got it working finally. area 2d node with a collision inside, the area2d node has it's own group it's in that is on layer 10, area2d for the map that has the ceiling is masking layer 10 and looking for areas in the trigger group.

>>542766896
67 kg

>>542766838
ShapeCast is built-in physics. You have a fundamental misunderstanding of how the node hierarchy works. You keep saying CollisionShape2D but that's meaningless. CollisionShape2D is only used to provide a collision shape to an Area2D or a body like CharacterBody2D.

if i was a nepobaby i would NOT be posting here

good night saar

fagoon, how do you juggle managing to be obsess pathetically and brownly about everyone who laughs at you, because that's the whole thread, and stalking like 30 people at once has to be tiring lol

If I ever release a 10k+ review game, I'll fly Fygoon and Cris out for a cage match.

>>542767330
I know what a collisionshape2d does , it's not meaningless I don't need a collisionshape2d on my player for collision the shapecast does it, but it's necessary for the ceiling. Regardless, I figured it out.

>>542768125
ill donate to the prizefund

>>542767991
A psychopathic wounded narcissist just doing its thing. To fagoon, stalking and belittling others (get it?) is the greatest game of all.

>price game at $0.99
>get reviews
>increase price to whatever
what's the problem with this?

>>542768602
People are actually less likely to buy a 0.99 game instead of a 5.00 game

>>542768602
Review count doesn't matter. Steam visibility is primarily determined by revenue. Lower price = lower revenue = lower visibility for the same number of sales.

leave Fygoon alone!

How come chris have one of the most advanced setup here for gamedev, but all is third world ghetto shit?

>>542768602
reviews literally dont matter on steam past getting 10 reviews on your first month, they are simply used as a metric for sales predictions for outside sources.
Steam only cares about money. If you got 30 reviews but are bringing in 50k sales a month, they will spam your game on the front page regardless of your low review count (or score for that matter, unless its in the negative)

>>542769081
Who cares how quickly your video uploads to steam?

My first game had a huge bug on release, it's really not a big deal, just be ready to fix anything that gets reported instantly. Lots of games have a v1.0.1 patch that comes out instantly to fix all the problems the devs didn't catch before launch

>>542766896
i look like that

Stop being mean to yesdevs like Fygoon. It's clear you're doing this out of jealousy because he has a soulful game and you have nothing.

>>542770158
it will, and he'll refund with the message "gam,e is broken "

No one will stop you, but if you submit the same game to multiple consecutive demo days, you risk joining the other schizos of stagnation and hexing your game into a NGMI sunk cost flop.

Will you kill it?

kek, these are the kinds of game development as business bros peolpe in this thread worship

>>542771219
that game is shockingly ugly. maybe if the right streamers pick it up it may do well but I dunno it just reeks of hyper adhd cutesy lolsorandom style to the point that it kind of makes me want to vomit.

>>542770954
Alicefag has an unhealthy obsession with me, as a matter of fact. Imagine being such a nodev that you have to discuss how your enemy is jacked.

>>542771219
If he really did make a linear 1 hour long game yeah that's on him and the game is overpriced.

say what you will about him, this is a shrewed business move that takes guts to execute. an attempt to salvage your release. You won't have the balls.

This is the price of deliberately making yourself an eceleb even after you already had a successful game that triggered so much seething, they're going to pounce on your next project as soon as possible. Just look at this anon in here howling at the moon over this samefagging as if it's a huge deal or relevant to agdg somehow. Now consider that there are literally thousands of "people" like this hounding this game.

>>542774658
Just release it on Roblox instead of Steam. It would unironically do well there

>>542774338
so didn't happen.

All those demoralization videos seem silly now

>>542773938
lol they were still bitter and seething at the idea of it being successful.
>it's going to sell because streamers are going to play it and all the sheep will buy it
But now that it flopped your prediction is still irrelevant. It's all about being bitter and obsessed with schadenfreude. This is a dopamine explosion for them.

>>542775390
why /agdg/ hates him so much. okay his game sucks so what

I hope what we learned from this is
we don't learn about gamedev from one-hit wonders like this guy and eric b. instead listen to tim cain, sid meier, lucas pope, jeff vogel and other devs who have a proven track record
thank you for your attention to this matter.

>>542775325
Yeah it wouldn't surprise me if it picks up popularity eventually. It's fun to meme on the guy but it does have a lot of the elements that streamers go for nowadays.
>friendslop

His biggest problem might be releasing while Peak and Megabonk are still the current streamer trends.

>>542774880
eceleb grifters are the scum of the earth, it's not fair that they get free sales just for making some dumb fuck jewtube videos and I hope their games all fail

>>542775325
Very true and there may be fans of the dev or people with the game wishlisted who will come around to the game on their own time. They aren't lined up at the gate salivating like the gooners who actually want the game to fail.

>>542775606
you're right
i will listen to Jonas Tyroller

>>542771101
there really should be a rule that you cant submit the same game to DD consecutively

Success breeds jealousy. Unsuccessful losers feel like he didn't deserve his previous success and now feel vindicated at his flop. (This flop is still making more money per day than any of their games make per year.)

>>542775572
I don't hate him at all. He seems like a nice guy. It just confirms to me (again) that Steam is mainly a lottery and anyone claiming they can game the system is full of shit.

>>542775572
Because he made millions of dollars with choo choo charlie and is a prototypical eceleb gamedev. That's it. He has "fans", he gets attention on youtube, he made a game. You can't create someone more upsetting to anon than this even if you made them in a lab.

gonna be detailing enviroments today

>>542771101
There are some people who release the game demo over and over again with minimal changes. And for some reason streamers always give them their 20-40 minutes of time.

>>542775606
>we don't learn about gamedev from one-hit wonders like this guy
Who here was actually listening to this dev or following anything about them?
One person maybe two, both of whom have never made a game. This is ironically the most toxic kind of eceleb drama posting that happens here and it's from the usual kind of people who don't even make games.

>>542772735
He can literally email support and ask for a refund then rebuy it. Retard

>>542775626
>eceleb grifters are the scum of the earth
To you. To me it's just another game dev who makes games. That makes him more valuable to me than you or the goofballs who actually spend money on his game just to reviewbomb it. But again he brought that on himself seeking to be an eceleb gamedev.

>>542776234

i'll use unreal engine when they add proper scripting support. i'm not learning their visual programming spaghetti garbage and i'm not using C++.

i played tested my game too much now I don't want to anymore :/

>>542776336
>Publishers: CRITICAL REFLEX

>>542776407
Why? Their C++ is basically a scripting language. It's managed for you. Any idiot could go from c# in Unity to C++ in unreal.

>>542776285
If people like that succeed it makes a mockery of gamedev and further degenerates the market

The only public facing persona you should have in game development is a faceless, plain, unremarkable text box delivering patch notes or short descriptions of what can be seen in the attached preview image/trailer.
Putting your face, personality, bedroom, or Special Flare is legitimate faggotry, zoomie streamer wannabe behavior.
It invites all manner of bad behavior towards you and you'll deserve it.
I've never seen a faceless dev who lets his game speak for itself that wasn't based and humility pilled, and I've never seen a Here's My Face For E-Celeb Status dev who wasn't a smug, insufferable, smarmy faggot with weak physique.
Similar to how an anon shit poster gets keks and (You)s but avatar fags just get hatred because they care so deeply about how they are perceived that they become horribly unlikeable.
That's just the way it is. That's how it has always been. That's how it'll always be.

>>542776480
I don't like C# either. I want JAI and I demand it.

>>542776336
If you can't understand why certain games are popular you are out of touch with the market and will create a hard to market game.

I have my real name on my Twitter and a real picture of me on it, and I release my games under my real name. I have nothing to hide or be ashamed about. The only reason you'd hide yourself and release your game anonymously is if you don't believe in your game and don't want it tied to you. There's a middle ground here where you can be a real person without trying to be an e-celeb.

>>542776756
LocalThunk is cringe for not appearing publicly even to claim awards for his game. It's not that deep, nobody really cares who he is and it just makes him look like a coward.

>>542778151
>you don't even know who you're responding to
No one knows who anyone is responding to. Anyone who thinks they do has an actual serious medial condition that needs to be addressed.

let me ask you a question agdg
when does something become art
>when it is made
>when it is observed
to me the answer is clearly when it is observed
if your art is too esoteric and inaccessible to attract an audience, you as an artist have FAILED to make good art.
your goal shouldn't be making something good
your goal shouldn't be making something that is popular
your goal should be making something that is both good and popular

so why would you shy away from popular genres like friendslop? are you afraid your art isn't good enough to stand up next to lethal company, peak, megabonk, etc? that sounds to me like a lack of ambition.

>>542778878
They're called roguelikes.

ive started making each sublevels of each area a bit different, environment and enemy behaviour / amount

The Frydarian Tale update: I will be changing the design of Basileus Joseph Fygoon to be more like this concept art I generated.
This is because I believe there are enough games with strong heroic protagonists and I want to break the mold by making a more feminine male the hero.
There are also lots of strong males already in the game, so this change will make Basileus stand out even more.
As you can see I also added horns because while it technically goes against the lore, I think it makes his appearance look even more heroic and striking.
I am not yet sure if I will change the story in any way to reflect his changed design but be on the lookout for future updates on this.
Fygoon out!

I code in pure C because anything else is BLOATSHIT and you aren't a real coder.

>Yeah I'm sure Balatro with a million wishlists beforehand was released anonymously because the developer wasn't sure it was going to succeed.
That's true though. Localthunk said in interviews that he expected Balatro to sell maybe 6 copies tops. It also didn't help that Balatro was the first game he ever tried selling so he didn't even really have a portfolio.

>>542783960

I just move photons to be arranged in the way my brain is imagining my game cause anything else would be bloat shit.

>>542784204
I don't get why you think C is hard to code, its the easiest language lol. If you cant code in C you never learned to and probably use visual shit language in a engine

I accidentally edited the release date of my game on Steam and now I can’t change it anymore
I didn’t think it would grey out the ui for me before I hit publish button
Oopsie

>>542784194
even if i dont, this game had to exist
i saw it in a vision, bestowed to me by allah
not creating it would have been squandering a gift from the heavens

>>542784030
You don't understand fnaf and more importantly you don't understand games. You're burning yourself out without learning anything. You're doomed to fail forever. Suck it

>>542784373
>I don't get why you think C is hard to code, its the easiest language lol.
That's Python. They literally teach Python to school children that's how easy it is.

>>542784373
I don't get why you think arranging transistors is hard. It's actually the easiest way to create digital logic lol. If you can't code in NAND gates you never learned to and probably use some text shit language with a compiler.

>>542784225
It is sad but unfortunately the dev handed them this on a silver platter. But that's beside the point that I never heard of this game until now and these anons are stalking and obsessing over some guy for making a game 3 years ago or whenever choo choo charlie came out. The jealousy is amazing.

Has anyone used RPG Maker MZ? I’ve heard plugins can do and change a lot. What games can you make in it? Would you recommend it or a different version?
I’ve more of an artist than coder and always wanted to put my characters and music in a game. I want to do something more interactive than a VN, and I like composing battle themes that wouldn’t really fit either.

I've sat for hours and tried thinking about the design for my monster catcher and what exactly I'm supposed to change from pokemon in terms of monster types. but aside from making the types slightly different, like changing flavor of certain types like bug, dragon, etc I can't really think of any large changes to make that would improve it. I merged rock and ground into one single type is probably the biggest change and everything else feels like it's the same but with different flavor. I thought about adding a new element like sound or magic but i feel like that would just muddle the already large amount of types and not really make the game better.

No one said C is hard. You're projecting and want to think that other people think it is to inflate your own ego. In reality, you're only using C because you got filtered by C++. I've worked professionally as an embedded systems engineer for many years and have written more C than you will in your entire life. You have to be actually braindead to think some shitty C framework is a viable path to a commercial quality game.

What's it called when you don't know why something is wrong but you take their idea to it's logical conclusion and it demonstrate that it's obviously flawed in that case?

Example:
>"Criminalizing Marijuana is good because it lets police incarcerate dangerous criminals when otherwise there wouldn't be enough evidence to convict for the greater crime"

>"Well why not make drinking water illegal, that way the police can always arrest the dangerous criminals?"

>>542779116

I'm watching the streams right now and people are clearly having fun >>542785079
But the review bombing has already spooked the dev into dropping the price. Even if the game picks up steam which I think it will, this dev has already paid a mental toll for attracting the attention from these kinds of people. And that's sad.

i dont know what to say anon thats below even a mcdonalds employee lol

Review bombing is a "game" itself to subhumans who hate themselves and delight in causing misery to others for no reason other than to feel powerful. Just like fygoon and many other scum here.

>>542786965
I've already spent a decade doing just that, and I'm sick of it. I'm not the kind of employee who can just detach and phone in. I am a 10x dev who can solo carry an entire team. I hate being around so many low-performing imposters. I'd rather work for myself.
