I'm an aspiring #indie #gamedevoper who hopes to one day make great video games. Also a pure #gamer. 🎮🕹️👾

[Timothy Heard @TimothyDanielH1]

To all #gamedev out there, has working in a team ever worked out for you? If not, what sort of team experience made you decide you'd rather make #videogames alone rather than with other people? #indiegame #indiedev #indiegamedev #solodev #gamedevelopment

One of the benefits to the way most adult visual novels in the West are released is that it’s done in chapters. I released 0.1 after a month of development, and it sucked, but through subsequent updates, I’ve gotten more support and more traction while building my skills.

You can just do things, you don’t need to release a game the same way you think everyone else does.

It all just got lamer going downhill.

We went from Demon...

To badass...

To hippie...

To poodle husband controlled by his crazy bitch who looks like an ugly man.

This is why shut should be allowed to end.

@SydSteyerhart Fortunately, we are blessed with many options. Fagles is incredible! Getting Illiad next week.

The goal is to make Emily Wilson's feminist translation of the Odyssey the only translation available to anyone. It's already universal across university curriculums and it's the only one you are likely to ever see in bookstores again.

The evil intent is palpable.

[Aaron Sparrow™, Blocked But Never Forgotten @Aaron_Sparrow]

It’s funny, I saw TLJ first showing on opening night, and knew, sitting in the theater, that it sucked and was going to tank the franchise.

I didn’t need social media to tell me how to feel about it. Don’t throw out accusations to cover the fact that you feel the need to defend that you love drinking from the slop bucket.

[Grummz @Grummz]

There is an crazy mainstream view that just because something isn’t “there” yet that it should be ridiculed and abandoned.

You have two choices. Listen and stop, or push through.

“Push through” gave us the airplane, the internet, space and virtually everything else in modern life.

“Stop” is the worst outcome.

[Thales of Florida @FloridaThales]

Biggest reason for this is that most executives, politicians, whatever members of the ruling caste are retarded.

It took me some time to really internalize this. They don't have a grand plan, they don't know what they are doing, to the extent they push an ideology it's because it feels good and it's unclear to me how much most of them are even consciously aware of it.

They. Are. RETARDED.

You think it's because they want to ruin the IP on purpose. No, even if they set out to do this show the right way, they would still fuck it up in all probability because that is what they do. Fuck things up because retard.

Remember the Starship Troopers movie? It was good because the guy making it fucked up. He wanted to make a satire, a commentary on how bad Heinlein was, how you shouldn't like this, etc. And he sucked so bad he accidentally made a good movie.

Our rulers are dumb, people. No boardroom with cigar-smoking SPECTRE figures plotting the demise of Western civilization, or to make {insert franchise here} bad. But because they run things, things are almost universally run badly. They will ruin almost anything they touch, and if by some miracle they don't, it's probably because they actually DID set out to ruin it, and accidentally did a good job in the doing. They failed at making a failure.

[Blazeon 🔥 @BlazeonOfficial]

The people hating Evie from Stellar Blade Blood Rain or Diana in Pragmata are the same people that enjoy watching lesbian teens kissing for progressive reasons.

And then you wonder why they sexualize or think others are sexualizing little girls in gaming.

Projection & hipocrisy

[Kabrutus @kabrutusdeid]

It's not enough that Capcom keeps retconning over two decades of established franchise lore, including characters, story events, locations and enemies in their so-called "remakes."

Now Capcom's disrespect for its own franchise has reached a whole new level: they're even changing the game's title.

Anyone who has actually played the original and true Code: Veronica knows how important the game's name is to its story.

But I guess that's fine for the audience Capcom wants to appeal to with these "remakes": an audience that simply cannot stand the idea of playing video games.

They'll play this abomination and then go around claiming they know Code: Veronica, just like they claim they know RE2, RE3, and RE4 despite never having played the actual RE2, RE3, or RE4.

[Mr. Ovis🐑💼(Over-worked Sheeptuber) @MrOvis_]

Modern AAA are utter slaves to bland realism, to the point that every character looks like they're just an actor wearing a costume. The Arkham games were made with the understanding that it's a fucking GAME, and you can exaggerate things as much as you want.

If they made it now, Bane would be 2 inches taller than Batman and just look like a meathead wearing a tanktop.

[Geeky REAL GINGER Sparkles @desert_starr_57]

Yeah. They both were good.

Audiences didn't show up because both films were niche (if we are being honest) Plus, the people behind the films (and media) made comments about demasculinizing or toxic masculinity that turned off the core audience.

In both cases, it wasn't true.

[Retro Gamer Art @RetroGamerArt]

Resident Evil – Code: Veronica
"Disturbingly Real"

[SirD 🇺🇸 @Sir_Dammed]

These people really do think game devs are microcelebrities or something.

And many of the developers think this of themselves.

Never thought I'd see the day when the gaming industry becomes more gay, self-important and pretentious than Hollywood.

[Smash JT @SmashJT]

'You better play nice w/these publishers if you want money in the future'

...is one hell of a take.

Holy shit these industry bigwigs are so out of touch with reality.

[Nick (Damien_Azreal) Palsmeier @AzrealNick]

Finished my revisit of the Monolith library..

On to some of my other favorite games.
How about all those wonderful idTech4 games..

Faut absolument que vous sachiez comment Ubisoft a traité cet homme (créateur de Assassin's Creed) comme une merde :

- en 2010 il commençait à dire qu'il voulait réduire la cadence avec les AC et que le fait d'annualiser la licence allait nuire à la qualité des jeux
- quelques mois après il est poussé vers la sortie et démissionne (sûrement harcelé par Ubisoft vous connaissez les méthodes 🥹)
- en 2011 il rejoint THQ qui fondent spécialement pour lui un sous studio et commence a bosser sur 1666 Amsterdam
- en 2013 Ubisoft rachète THQ et vire spécifiquement Patrice, et conservent par la même occasion tous les droits sur sa création 1666 Amsterdam
- en 2016, après 3 ans de bataille juridique acharnée, ils récupèrent les droits sur son jeu
- en 2026, 10 ans après, il nous présente enfin 1666 Amsterdam

“Rise of female leads”

You people are genuine fucking larpers

People like well written, good female leads, literally NOBODY has anything against female protagonists, get it through your thick fucking skull

[SoldMeOut @freemysol]

“We as women have been forced to play as men”.

First off, you bought the game and picked up the controller. Were you forced to do that too?

Secondly, as a woman, it rarely if ever bothered me that I was playing a main male character. This is a male-dominated hobby.

Of course, there are games where the main character is a woman, and many of those used to be great. Much better than the ones we’re getting now, in fact.

[Dave @GamewithDave]

The average player is 36 years old.

People use games to relax, socialize, compete, and explore worlds in ways that movies and TV simply can't offer.

The idea that gaming is "just for kids" feels about 30 years out of date.
