Didn't ask.

>>542935361
>>542935147
neither look like anime or cute
the eyes are nice but the huge fat cheeks absolutely ruin any appeal. make them slimmer too.

>>542937335
the draw 3 pick 1 reward sorta system? idk, just seems lazy design that wants to combine RNG and tactics in such a way that you can never really fully try a tactic without good RNG. It's like an MMO where you dont choose the mob you're fighting so you can't go for a specific drop table.
as for roguelites, i don't play em. pretty niche but loyal community afaik

>>542937657
Well the first one is my personal style.

>>542938681

>>542937335
you can steal my idea for a pick-3 type game. basically, instead of giving the player 3 choices all at once, you'll give them 3 individual choices. If they pick the first choice presented, they're locked out of 2 and 3 without knowing what it is.

So, like, regular pick 3 is:
>choose this upgrade, this weapon, this potion
right?
mines
>1)do you want this upgrade?
>2)do you want this weapon?
>3)do you want this potion
the problem is, they wont see what option 2 is without saying no to option 1. they wont see what option 3 is without saying no to option 2. if they get to option 3, then they're stuck with it

Holy shit next you'll tell me top sports stars and actors get paid well too! Oh my heckin science why didn't we just do that? Why didn't we just be in the top 1% of popular and successful people on earth? Duh! It's so obvious now.

>>542940223
I was gonna make them watch a 15 second ad before a wheel thats half red, half green appears. it'll start spinning and give them nothing half the time, or turn it into a regular pick-3

for the first few times they spin the wheel, nothing will always be red and regular pick-3 will always be green. then it'll start to randomize. maybe this time green is nothing, and red is pick 3. maybe this time both are nothing?

Post your coping techniques for accepting the fact that /v/3 most likely has a bigger audience than your game.

AI is not a bubble, AI services are a bubble. I am one of the only people who actually understands economics. Even core aspect of dot com like server hosting, email, etc. weren’t a bubble either, the inflation was in mis aligned investments largely independently in superficial products.
AI is driving innovation in general, in research, computing optimizations, cloud infrastructure, energy, chips, etc.
Buttfuck Jeet AI will collapse and the volume private investment will crash but that’s not a bubble. It’s natural selection.
But want to know what actually is a bubble? Video game industry.

UModel

>>542942948
Yes. But also people will play boring unfun games if those games serve a particular fantasy that the player has. Many devs here focus on developing and showing "fun" gameplay (it isn't fun) rather than telling anyone why they should play the game.

Grand strategy games are a prime example of this, you're literally playing a spreadsheet game with a bunch of short stories broken up into popup dialog boxes. The actual mechanics of the game don't matter, which is obvious by how much they've changed over the years. The window dressing makes the experience far more than it actually is and satisfies the basic human need for genocide.

In contrast take some random agdg game... You're a girl riding around in a giant hamster ball through an obstacle course - this satisfies no normal human instinct or desire.

People post their games on 4chan to share it with 300 viewers (if that) I don't think thousands of views is that shabby.

The video game industry especially indie games continues to grow every year and is considered regression proof. Every year hundreds of millions of new gamers take up the hobby. People are more willing to spend disposable money on videogames than they are on almost anything else.

You don't have to be a psychopath to kill people, normal people have done it thoughout all of history. Because it's normal.

You think that living in a prosperous safe firstworld liberal country is the default state of humanity rather than a massive anomaly. And even here youve got hundreds of thousands of people posting themselves on social media gleefully celebrating a political rival getting assassinated. You think those people wouldn't happily line their enemies up against a wall and the other side wouldn't do the same?

And yeah games where you kill people are not only popular but basically the default type of game. Coop hoard shooters are massive, survivor likes are massive. It's normal to just want to mow down droves of enemies.

>>542945691
I do use the particle system, and as long as you've read the docs you will be just fine, your are a sti[od vibe coder or junior that don't really bother with docs, if you follow their warning notes its more then clear what you have to do

Just because people are dicks on the internet doesn't mean the default human nature is to kill

Murdering each other for the """"glory""" of your """beliefs""" is not what humanity is about. In fact, ideologically-charged violence is inhumane as fuck.

Didn't say anything about woke. Concord was a 400 millon dollar flop in a long line of high profile high budget flops. The industry can't seem to make good games that people want. Probably due to overinflated budgets and over corporatization stifling all forms of creativity and risk taking. And yeah kids play mobile games because they can't afford AAA games or the hardware to run it on, neither can zoomers. That would indicate that the AAA market is not healthy and the future does not look bright because your future customers are all gambling in gatcha gamss.

"line go up" is a braindead analysis because in a bubble the line does go up until the bubble pops.

Everything boils down to violence. You don't pay your taxes? The state will use the threat of violence to make sure you do. Just because it's wrapped in laws and process doesn't make it any less a threat of violence.

You seem to be the thing you're accusing me of being, the brainwashed rube blindly believing whatever he sees in a doomer culture war youtube video, except you get your brainwashing from somewhere else.

Just look at what you said "it's considered recession proof" - what does that have to do with it being a bubble or not? That just means it's not as affected by wider macroeconomic trends that other sectors might be. Something can be "recession proof" like the housing market, but that doesn't mean it isn't a bubble.

Around 100,000 new users join Steam alone EACH DAY.
About 700,000 new potential customers in the week around your release.
AAA release? Successful release AAA or indie, in your genre? BOOM you get a visibility boost.
Also, not only are you visible to players seeking new releases, but you're now part of the vast library that the entire massive audience explores. :)

Take all the "indie success stories" you can think of in the past 10 years and multiply it by the number of new players in that time who have joined (again, 100,000 users a day, 3,000,000 a month) and there's your ever-growing likelihood of "making it."

Steam cut provides a massive storefront, community, and infrastructure, the freedom of being your own boss, setting your own benefits, your own retirement, AND to top it all off: Your sales find new audiences over time, so even if you hit this "sustainable success" you'll get to see it grow for years to come.

He knows that indie gamedev can provide a sustainable primary income in 2025

The housing bubble crashed among other reasons because people treated homes as an investment, you can't compare it to something like the videogames industry. What are you talking about.

For there to be a bubble there needs to be some group over investing. Not really happening in gaming, some investors lose big while some win big. That’s healthy.
Bubbles are artificial. Like when the housing market thing happened it was because the banks were making investments into loans that were never going to be repaid. This was an economy-wide problem. It’s not like some people were getting fucked over on houses, the entire market broke because industry practices became based on a falsehood.
Gaming doesn’t have these qualities that could lend to it becoming a bubble. Even the OG video game crash was not a “bubble” popping it was a crash in consumer demand.

This is probably true even on only PC

>>542958183
Most companies had their own launchers in 2010.
For indie games it was completely normal to download them from the creators website back then too but the internet has changed. Forums died, social media is completely different now, and its hard to even get traffic to a website now let alone get people to download something from it because Google throttles traffic to small websites.
The environment that Minecraft succeeded in doesn't exist anymore.

>>542958683
Back then you only had bnet and the “ea store” wasn’t even called origin yet. Windows didn’t start selling games until Nov 2010. When Minecraft beta came out there was basically Steam and nothing else in terms of digital distribution.

you can just throw a triangle mess into a library and it will generate convex hulls or spatial trees and who knows whether they're using any of that in engine. i was actually surprised at how many triangles a physics engine could handle years ago when i threw a ton at it

>>542962403
What’s the poly count? Seems kinda retarded from a dev perspective. If you want to move one building you need to fuck with this whole mesh.

>>542963168
This is web dev brain. You can’t afford to waste resources even if the machine is super fast when you’re making something like a game that’s designed to take advantage of all the hardware.

It's not like this is free. there's probably image2image from 3d models, applying aislop textures to your own models, re-prompting, editing the different takes.

This is a plot to a webnovel, not a video game.

Yes the rich and powerful are currently solidifying their control and degrading human rights
But i dont think people should wake up and rise up against them
Think of all the hardship that would cause just to put someone else in power
I think what people need is some light in their life to give them the will to go on. Games are part of that light. Aislop is poised to destroy the industry and enslave billions of people into accepting algorithmic content over art
Art exists to forward subliminal messages through humanity. To nudge them away from disaster and towards prosperity. A machine COULD feasibly do that, but it won’t.

>>542973729
Didn't read. Start with Pong.

>>542940075

Natural progression for an anonymous forum when good posters get little from making good posts, and bad posters don't get punished for making bad posts.

>>542974834
just say the names, it is thanks for hobbyshizo demoralizing, flygoon spamming gore and bochi spammer giving brain rot

does taking inspiration really make you a better game designer or just a more confused one? because copying others means you have no identity and without an identity you'll jump from idea to idea, whatever is the latest thing that inspired you. instead of sticking to who you are.
would you rather be the guy who only has one idea and only works on that idea? or be the guy who has 10000 ideas and doesn't know what idea to choose, because you are always just looking where the sheep herd is walking towards.

>>542974979
you are an amalgamation of multiple things copied from someone else, even on a dna level

>>542974834
Is trainwiz even still around?

>>542974834
No. That's not it. Good progress posts always get over a dozen positive (You)s and nodev ideaguy drivel always get told to make Pong (by me). The problem is that standards rise over time, while the competency of incoming devs (mostly zoomers) fall over time.

>>542975063
yes, but this is kinda a hardcoded copy. something you are consistent with. whereas ideas, without identity, are something that can change every day, totally killing any consistency.

might be a stupid question but do people notice if small problems in animations like mesh stretching a little and things like that? especially in isometric camera

>>542975279
Notice? Yeah.
Care? Not if the gameplay is good.

>>542974979
You have inspiration whether you want to or not. Nobody comes up with an idea out of literally no where, it's coming from something you've seen or experienced. But you can combine them with other things you know. Whether you strictly copy that inspo or try to make it into something else is up to you

>>542974445
Like 3 retards overtaking all the attention on them because they can't like make game.

I don't know what's worth fighting for

I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So, I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit tonight

>>542975643
You can be inspired when you make food and cook something every day. But your inspiration for a game has to last 1-3 years at least.
If you are inspired by Pokemon and 2 weeks later you are inspired by Need For Speed and 2 weeks later by Command & Conquer, then you will go nowhere.

>>542974971
Those faggots are definitely some of the worst, but I mean generally including all the regular faggots who post garbage like all the ai slop posters we have right now.
>>542975117
That's a very interesting perspective, too.

>>542963843
Nothing could make me less inclined to buy a video than flagrant use of AI in its development or promotion. I use chatgpt to quickly shit out code (that I ALWAYS have to fix becaue AI is fake and gay and the bubble burst will be hilarious to witness) but that's just a lazy short cut, it's something I *could* do myself quite easily, I'm just getting it done a bit quicker. But like I said, I usually have to fix it so maybe it's as case of short cuts leading to long cuts but I enjoy doing it still because I like squashing all the bugs and flexing my problem solving skills. This is literally the only ethical way to use AI in game dev. Fight me cunt.

>>542976289
stop sniffing ur own farts weirdo

>>542975719
I try looking at as much as I can within the genre that I'm making for inspo
If I see something else from another genre I'll wait til I'm working on a game that it could fit into.
Our definition of inspiration might be a bit different here tho, I'm thinking of it as more of a visual library of things that give you ideas for something you want to make, not really like a momentary spark of interest

AGDG is like a marriage on the rocks. But Cris is like our retarded child that is keeping us together for his sake. God bless you Cris.

A burger you make at home is not commercial quality. Getting a job at McDonalds is way easier than opening your own burger joint.

he was also making a platformer about a snail that was obviously going to flop

Just declined to launch the page! The usual process is launch the store page -> upload a build -> release the game. Valve itself promotes getting a Steam page up early (even before you have a build ready) so that you can start promoting the game and have it be wishlisted by people and stuff. For Bedabots, they demanded a game build before they were willing to put the store page up. The build provided (the demo build, which was the only thing available at the time) was not deemed sufficient, because it was not a finished product. This is the first instance of an unfinished NSFW game being declined from Steam that I personally know of. Later on, they made this an official rule. Now, NSFW games are barred from early access releases.

>>542983053
I know nsfw can't do EA anymore so it's wasted text but good for you that you can still launch in the future

>>542982341
call it luck or randomness, but the math works out. and you could run the simulation a thousand times and the top games will on average have a higher luck score than the rest.

Where can i go to hire a programmer
I want to make a rpgmaker type game but not 640 pixels resolution.

>>542983037
I remember having similar feelings. not that he was a 'massive' retard, but a little bit retarded, and will you snail looked like a 10-30 review game(without a following, like magnet nigga would be)

his most successful games are collabs albeit.

>Make two random distributions
>Program one to be biased more towards the top-end ("luck")
>Compare the two random distributions
>Make a basedface when the biased random distribution appears more frequently in the top end
Fascinating. And this is supposed to prove what exactly?

>>542983159
It’s made up; if you fully account for all variables, luck ceases to exist. It is shorthand for “unaccounted-for variables”. All you’re saying is that you made a model of releases that accounts for X% of variability in game sales. If your model says luck affects the outcome the model is missing variables, a priori, by definition. There is no such thing as luck.

>>542983314
Why do you need a programmer for that?

>>542982112
2024 is unironically better

>>542983508
nothing new to you, pointdexter. but I kissed two girls in high school (on the cheek) so I obviously had better things to do than pay attention to math where they taught you whatever you were trying to explain just now.

>>542983575
luck is just a shorthand for factors you can't model. but what the simulation proves is that factors you can't model DO verifiably help games to become successful. this also goes for songs, novels, highly competitive jobs, basically anything where only a tiny proportion wins.

>>542983508
it's not two random distributions, it's one with two factors, and it's comparing between the median and the top-end on a single factor

I can't remember what my username was.

After browsing the steamfest I've come to the conclusion that the only genre that matters is a survivors roguelite gambling metroidvania game that very very very clearly takes inspiration from some other current popular game.

You can reduce the effects of luck.
A game that is produced and marketed over 6 months is more luck-based th an a game produced and marketed over 2 years.

Im not even enjoying playing the game i just cant stop queueing back up its kinda like a reflex i guess.

>>542991717

>>542991745
Video games are for children

>>542991823
what do you expect me to do
give a fuck?

>>542991745
at least be addicted to something that makes you feel good what the fuck is wrong with you lmao

>>542991935
relax

For astar pathfinding, I tell multiple agents to go to the same tile, how do I ensure they don't endlessly writhe around the one guy who can actually reach it?
Is there some known "give up" time/distance that you can reliably refer to?

glad i never got the moba brainrot

>>542992042
Look into clustering. Rather than giving each agent independent goals to reach the same tile, you give the entire group the same command, and they aim to reach the tile together in formation.

>>542991964
Idk.
I dont want to play the game i just feel this NEED to queue back up like i SHOULD queue back up im not enjoying playing the game itself its not fun i do not enjoy it but i feel like i HAVE TO queue back up like theres a gun to my head and the nonexistant person is telling me go queue back up or hes going to shoot me in the head.
You ever get that feel for anything?

>>542992337
Just uninstall the game right now. You can always reinstall it when you really really want to play again, but for now, you need to make it much harder on yourself to queue up.

>>542991717
You crack me up anon.

>>542977343
If you think the average gamer wants to buy AI sloppa, you are the retard. Also, just by entertaining the idea of using AI to make a game proves to me that you can't do it yourself. Because you're retarded. And a nodev. Retard nodev.

Giving a fuck about not giving a fuck is still giving a fuck

... That's one way to do it.

The burn out is starting to really get to me.
I want to continue working, I know it's the best thing to do and I know what I need to do next but I just feel like I don't even care for the game anymore, sure maybe I can force myself to work some more but for what? It feels like it's not going to feel rewarding even when I do it.
Please read my blog and give comments.

Anyone talk to mongol? Is he alive?

made a soundtrack for a game, dont know what kind of game it fits, but I'm thinking something like Worms 3D

>>542994990
I relate to everything you said. I took a 3 week break, afterwards I worked one day on it and still felt burned out. not sure how to fix that. Maybe it's the weather.

>>542994990
>It feels like it's not going to feel rewarding even when I do it
you guys have been brainraped by goycattle system mentality. You should not be seeking an effort reward model of living you should be seeking what kind of work comes effortless to you, so you can work without expecting rewards, that's how you enter flow state, and in flow state reality bends to your will, rewards become meaningless because "being" becomes its own reward, because you "be" in flow state and joy regardless of the work you are doing

>>542994990
>>542995456
let me guess, no girlfriends?

>>542995456
Maybe it's depression. Not even project hopping sounds good.
>>542995548
It used to feel rewarding when I made progress but it's gotten to the point of picrel.

>>542995027
I've been away for a few weeks, last I saw he was doing a 2d nikki-like with his classic 3d guts HUD. looks like he delisted mongol from steam and all his youtube videos are gone.

>>542993683
It's an old video

A hallway (also passage, passageway, corridor or hall) is an interior space in a building that is used to connect other rooms.

Ever play Enter The Gungeon?

>>542995849
see you are still thinking in terms of rewards.
the apple tree gives out apples, it doesn't care what happens around it, it doesn't care if there are people around to enjoy apples, it just shit's apples like it's nobody's business. That's the mentality that you need to embrace. What is the one thing that give out regardless of context? perhaps this is the best moment to find out, what is the thing that you enjoy doing regardless of burnout

>>542996148
for me, I think what happened is i made a 80% of an AA game on my own out of some kind of retardmaxxing. now I woke up.

>>542996148
I think game development is inherently burnout inducing because it's not easy. You have the cycle of developing, getting a problem, and debugging which stops you. The only parts of development I can think of that are like what you described are art, music, stuff like that. And I have fun with art but when I need to start implementing things in the game it goes back to the "it's fun at the start" but then gets painful cycle.

Make small games

>>542996682
the tip of the iceberg looked small

>>542996050
Enter the gungeon is not a bullet hell it's a rogueslop rollslop slopslop sloplike

Shaders improve anything

Make slop, that's what people want. 20 minutes of mindless mashing where you randomly get to progress or not, because then it's EXCITING to have to constantly restart... what if this team you make it past round 3? Oh, it's the same as the rest but 8x faster this time because you got an unbalanced item? Maybe NEXT run it'll be more exciting.
You're having fun. Buy more. Megabonk is right THERE BUY MEGABONK AND BALL X PIT!

>>542996620

>>542992337
Yeah that's classic behavioral addiction.
Set up one day where you play the game for 12 hours in a row and then uninstall it. Try to fill the old routine with something else like a workout, a walk in the park, listening to music from indie creators to find one that matches your game, watching modeling tutorials, gooning, etc. That's how it worked for me. It takes 14-15 days to rewire your brain out of a habit.

>>542996880
I don't care

brb marketing my game on LinkedIn

>>542997142
Yes, make what people want. some of them want action games and mecha games, but those are harder to make as a solodev at a sufficient quality that people would pay for.
so making slop is the no brainer choice, if money is the goal.

>>542994990
>I worked so hard for so little reward

wawawiwa

>>542999326
Start small. Use mechanics from the tutorials and see what you can do. Maybe try to clone an existing game with some limitations. Take your favorite 2D game, insanely scope it down, and try to make that. Something like a simple platformer, a turn based battle game, or an arcade game (not Pong lol). My first "game" was an insanely scoped down Slay the Spire clone. See if you can figure out how to use signals, inheritance, and object oriented concepts effectively.

>>542994990
The only thing related to gamedev that still gets me excited is working for a while on something and seeing it work ingame for the first time.
The novelty of the busywork that has to be done for the game to function wore off a long time ago desu.

>>542999639
You'd be surprised what skills are transferable. You'll have to use your network too. My skills in scoping problems and team management got me a job as a project manager for a manufacturing company. I got that job through a family connection though.

if you want to look at nepotism look at the difference between hopoo and eric barone, both from seattle both successful but one of them made a originallike while the other copied a japanese game and look at how it ended for them

>>543001341
nta and I know jack shit about mongol but desu limiting yourself from the internet sounds like a good idea
Think about all the people out there nowadays who are terminally online

>his mother finally settled into a relationship with a trans woman. When McGee was sixteen, he came home from school and found his house empty and abandoned; the only things left were his bed, his books, his clothes and his Commodore 64 computer. His mother had sold the house to pay for two plane tickets and the fee for her girlfriend's gender confirmation surgery, leaving him on his own.

and i thought mongol had it rough...

If you're wondering. Yes, he did get humiliated on /v/ hence why he's here obsessing over the discord where no one will see or humiliate himself, this thread is his shield lol.
That's what makes someone like with malignant narcissism like fygoon so easy, most people would just ignore light banter, but fygoon makes it his entire personality for months after getting mocked.

CHADgoon won

>>543001887
If you're the same guy from yesterday you are using too many triangles on your head/face again. Look at other 256 for reference, and then look at that 20 triangle nose area you have going on. Almost a tenth of your full budget is being spent on a strip across the nose.
Remember that your details and depth come from the texture, your geometry is only to dictate the silhouette and help your deformation.
There's no reason to make a 6+ triangle neck here attaching to the shoulders, have the head and neck as a separate object with no faces on the inside.
You could do the same with the arms and legs.
You also could be more creative with the feet, does it really need a seam down the center of the foot? That's doubling your tris on the top, front, sole, ankle etc.
You've also got an odd joint at the trap, why isn't that top chest to trap just one square like the backside.

but what if... her name is actually All Ice??

he has a colorful personality sure but he's working on a non gambleslop, non fotm, non transcoded 3D game and that alone puts him in the top 1% of agdg devs
also he's beefing with the most unlikeable posters (avatartroons, pedos, 'cord hugboxers, etc) so yeah that helps his case, i was also shitposting when i was in my early 20s so i cant be too harsh on him

>>543003079

im a boomer, people here always cried about someone (sourceposter, rotate, mothdan, progressman, gogum, cris, etc), when fygoon moves on you will find another wrongthink target

RNGslop is just convoluted grindslop
if you calculate the drop rate of the build you need you to win you can figure out how many runs it would take, add the average run times together, and estimate the time required to win
it'll take 30 hours of run attempts to finish the game after the 5 hour initial learning curve is completed
despite the randomness, the game will take 35 hours to complete
how is that different than a standard JRPG grindfest
remove all RNG and just time gate your progression systems through slow drip incrementation
easy solution to the immoral RNG "maybe next run" gambling brainrot we're currently destroying functional brains with

He's the most ritualistic of the ritual posters. The saddest thing is nothing he says is ever relevant to gamedev because he cannot and will never make a game and he just doesn't know anything about it. Indie games in general disgusts him.

what about a game that has some gameplay that's like not important but what's important is that the screen gets covered in explosions and sfx and dizzying stuff all the time, big numbers and big combinations and combos and colours

You are far worse than any of those guys. They're mostly harmless, and at least they spend time actually making video games. Meanwhile, you've been around for close to a decade, and you haven't even bothered to pick up on basic gamedev knowledge, which tells me that one: you are below average IQ, since someone with at least 100-ish IQ would be able to pick up on these concepts by osmosis after so long, and two: you are wholly uninterested in ever making your own video game. If you were, you'd at least spend some time going through to motions of studying up on those skills. Instead, day in and day out, you waste your pathetic life away shitting up this thread with nodev >>>/v/tard culture war shit. Sincerely, fuck off. You do not belong here.

>>543005919
You released a bunch of low-effort slop cash grabs back when there was no competition, and now that standards are higher, no one will touch the garbage you're capable of making. Half of the nodevs here would at least be curious enough to figure out what an n-gon is simply from reading other real devs talk to each other. You do not care about making video games.

you are lowpoly blender learner

i think the main thing that kills indie games is excessively difficult learning curves
genuinely, the amount of times i'vs seen people try out a game and then drop it because they don't want to exert the mental effort required to learn it is extremely high
even if the game is appealing and reasonably priced, people just won't put effort into learning it
games designed for high appeal should have low cognitive loads
the easier the better

>>543006354
some guy was asking for an example of an indie game being killed by anti-ai hysteria, there you go

My game has transcript sharing function, I've released the demo and they've started flowing in.
For the most part they are one of following

Attempt at sexual assault
Racial slurs
Jailbreak attempts

All in all not a bad read

>>543006707
no that's me

>>543006707
wrong i dont even have blender installed

>>543006764
I don't think many know it used AI, but by using it, you are giving something up that ends up infesting the rest of your game

nobody can tell who i am

>>543005604
It's either the britbong or fagoon

>>543006976
looking back, i see you used i and he used I.

Fygoon is one of the worst posters to ever be on 4chan, like for his own sake he needs to have moved on last year and his life is far worse for being trapped here like you. He's been trashing threads for over 2 years. The reason you empathize with him is obvious and you think it's cute and funny to gas him up in the threads because you're an out of touch retard who thinks nonstop shitposting for years and having 'beefs' is 4chan culture.

>>543006525
your impotent schizophrenic rage is hilarious to me, i'm very happy with my life and even if my next game flops (again) i'll be fine, i have been doing this for a long time buddy boy im not a delusional daydreamer
>>543007170
this is a public space we all share if you had the same energy for the other ritualposters, including the creepy tranny groomers and pedos i wouldn't have to side with him at all, food for thoughts

>>543007554
Stay shook. Until you learn to stop blabbing about the same things everyday you'll continue to be identified and called out by multiple people. I mean maybe, most likely you'll just continue to be insignificant. Today was just not your lucky day.

cunnyposters did nothing wrong, stay mad

>>543007770
you thought i was fygoon, the bong gorespammer and who knows who else, focus on identifying your gender (the one you had at birth), pedo

>>543007675
>your impotent schizophrenic rage
Projection. Just like you calling everything slop because that's all you've ever done.

>>543007961
>le troooons
Yeah you're not anonymous, haven't been for a long time.

>>543007963
yes you got me i am every single person who made a post you disliked, i am always here in the thread replying with stuff that upsets you
remember this and always call me out ok?
>>543008190

>yes you got me i am every single person who made a post you disliked
Keep strawmanning retard. Nobody goes on about "looney troons" the way you have for all these years. Disgusting self hating fetishist weirdo lmao. Using words like "wrongthink" like it's still 2016. You've been stuck in the past for so long. Wake up.

>>543007554
not him. just tired of fgdg

>you hate spiders? that means you're a self hating spider

Log 1,000 hours of learning to develop small games, different mechanics and building some art skills.
No game you start developing right away will sell millions. forget about it. It takes time learning how to replicate what as gamer you find natural and so commonplace in the games you play. For much of it you will not even be able to describe what's missing.

>>542955656
>The customers go up but the games reaching 1k reviews always stays around 400.
Funny how Steamietards don't have an answer to this...

someone needs to make a game that can tap into the schizo market

>>543009064
When all you think and talk about is troons, you have a fetish. You should look up the definition.
>An object of unreasonably excessive attention
It's all you think about.

I was browsing some game models to test my model loading when I found this
is this intentional or a jpeg artifact?

>>543009516
>youre the troon not the faggot spamming the pink haired cartoon and calling himself sister
believe me i wish i didnt have to interact with dregs, im sure that makes sense to your schizophrenic brain

make horrorslop

>>543009537
Well that isn't where the clitoris is so you can relax now.

>>543007675
>if you had the same energy for the other ritualposters
Bocchiposters don't show up in /v/ and post their shit 40 times every thread then bait endless arguments with shitposters. That's your boy. You only ever started falling in love with fygoon when you saw he was bothering game developers more than you and your impotent babble.
