Seeing games being released on Steam is depressive to me... so many indies, so many dreams, so many people putting years of their lives into development. But only 1% will be successful.
It's really sad.

i love every tranime blog
+2
Tranime posts just want to get plowed in the ass by stronger men
Marketing is 10x more important than making a good game in terms of it being successful
There was that stupid cat game a while ago that made a shitload of money and nobody really cared about it in the end
Success is meaningless. Artists love the process.
Glad I didn't make a game lol.
Remind yourself that 99% of them are doing it only for money, and that the amount of actual passion projects that get ignored is very small.
If you made an AI porn game with Yui getting raped by black people, you could have been a millionaire by now. But you didn't do it. You had too much PRIDE and EGO. You want to make other shitty stuff that nobody else wants because you're a selfish person
anon, you just described goyslop
Goyslop is what prints money homosexual.
ok, and? you need to be 18 or older to post here
What's a money homosexual?
Not every indie dev wants to achieve whatever homosexual definition of "successful" you have.
I released 2 games, Diidn't earn that much but its enough for 3 years of neeting until i release the next game. It's fun seeing people enjoy something you made however few they are.
I played your games and they sucked ass
I believe that most indie devs understand that they're not making the next Minecraft, and don't even want to. They do it out of passion for creating what they want.
this. you can't be a game dev without some passion towards gaming. artists make art regardless of their success, and game devs gonna gamedev regardless as well
There are a lot of people trying their damnest for success and failing while other get it handled to them. Happens everywhere in almost every facet of our lives.
Vidya is entertainment anyway so concern yourself to be entertained. The story of the tragic developer releasing their passion project is cringe.
they/them pronouns, go frick yourself, troony.
99.3% of devs are male. you're safe to asume that gender.
Are you okay man?
i'm alright i guess. i have been better, to be honest. but that has nothing to do with my hate of pronoun zoomers in my board.
Trying too hard, ESL homosexual
You've been browsing this piece of shit board far too much, take a break.
Why? A published game - especially one on a store that's never dying, like steam - is a way to make passive money forever. Do you ever check the reviews on steam games? Even the most deadest games ever will have consistent new monthly players leaving reviews, especially if it goes on sale.
Developers who make it onto steam are blessed with the privilege of, at absolute worst, having a few hundred to a few thousand randomly plopped into their bank account every month, indefinitely, until they die. It's actually unreal how lucky game developers are because absolutely no other medium allows this style of self publishing profiteering.
These developers will wake up 85 years old some day and still be making 3 figures monthly from their "failed" game. I fricking wish I had that luxury.
The mere fact that games aren't a physical products makes any published developer insanely privileged. You shouldn't feel bad for people who literally get money in exchange for free to produce downloads. There is no wasted labour here.
why do animeposters still turn me on even though i know they're probably a guy irl
Because you're never going to see them irl and their anime post is right there in front of you
gender is a meme
embrace the troony
You're probably trans and have gender dysphoria.
Just imagine that those developers are complete buttholes and then you won't feel bad.
As an indie dev who tried and failed, i'm still happy I could create my dream. And I can rest easy knowing I found out instead of forever what iffing
post ur game.
Any advice to a would be indie dev?
I've been struggling to be productive.
you will never accomplish your dreams. get a real job and then maybe make some games on your free time so you can get it out of your system.
>get a real job
I don't need one to pay rent, homosexual.
I'm glad you failed if this is what you're like.
what's more depressing is thinking about all those people who never even made it to that point
they just dumped all this effort into something and never even got to the finish line
