You could make a billion-dollar game RIGHT NOW if you just sat down and made it. Notch wrote Minecraft's base code in a WEEKEND. Nothing is stopping you from reaching his level of success. Nothing but will to succeed.
You could make a billion-dollar game RIGHT NOW if you just sat down and made it.
I am autistic, though?
Everybody here is.
Not an excuse.
can he get a gf though?
So you i'd rather get a girlfriend instead of a billions dollars?
yes
unironically yes
money only matters when you dont have enough
I'd take someone who loves me instead of just about anything, really.
fortunately you'll never have to make that decision
Women are not capable of love
yeah actually my money situation isn't as bad as my loneliness, lack of connection and physical affection
If it's just me alone then money doesn't even matter
If i have a gf then money starts to matter.
Kinda weird isn't it?
money is worth shit if you have no one to share it with
Billions is too much, at that point there's a target on your head for getting frauded on or straight robbed. I'll take the nice chubby gf instead.
I'll take the money thanks. I would never have to see or hear from people again. No internet access or television in my mansion either.
Money can't buy happiness. But it sure helps in getting to that point.
If it was the perfect girlfriend I wouldn't even consider the money
yeah
I'd take three good meals a day for the rest of my life over billions.
not "any gf" but a great gf yeah
Can I have a billionaire girlfriend?
you can't buy love but you can rent it
yes
>acquire billion dollars
>spend some money on plastic surgery/fitness programs/speech therapy and every other thing stopping you from getting a gf
>Acquire gf
>still have 999million left over
It's not an either/or choice.
You can figuratively purchase a girlfriend at that point. Which is most likely better, since you can just swap her out for a new one whenever you want. Why bother with plastic surgery and effort.
If you purchase one, she will love your money, not (you).
if it was a furry gf then yes
Didn’t he host parties every weekend where he fricked countless 10/10s? Why would you want one at that point?
>t. Incel
Concession accepted.
>Why would you want one at that point?
To form an emotional connection with someone and settle down? Why would you want a constant stream of soulless sex?
>Didn’t he host parties every weekend where he fricked countless 10/10s?
Source ?
I thought he was married.
So he can loose more money? Women are bigger israelites than israelites.
he was married and she divorced him so she could get millions of dollars
you cant even get a gf, much less a wife or billions of dollars
Shut up homosexual.
Also frick this guy and frick nu-Ganker for forgetting what a terrible, lazy and narcissistic developer he was just because he posted some le based and le redpilled twitter posts.
Dawww somebody's angwy.
>U MAD
Fricking have a nice day already. Spare the world.
Why did his rat wife leave him?
to take half his money and go drown in BBC duh
I'm too stupid.
He's not exactly splitting the atom, anon. Literally just take an indie's concept and copy it. Most Indies don't have the legal power to do anything about it.
he literally got free dev help from friends, free QA/feedback/game testing from Ganker, and most importantly free marketing. were you even alive when it came out? moron
Darn, I certainly couldn’t get any of those free things. moron.
where's your team of smart dev friends?
You don't have any. you won't assemble any. this isn't a movie, brainlet. Notch got lucky, just like every other """""solo""""" gamedev. It will never happen to you. Never ever ever.
Bro /agdg/ exists
It's free
You're not smart enough to realize that you have all of those resources too? You are stuck in a bad mental schema. Get out while you can.
>dood it's all in the mind, you have a shitty general to help you
let us know how that's working for you. Are you a millionaire yet or just a hopeful poorgay failure?
What is the point of this self-destructive mentality? But yeah, I'm a millionaire, and incredibly bitter about the fact that I'm the poorest person in my social circle.
>and incredibly bitter about the fact that I'm the poorest person in my social circle.
Is it LARPing?
Yes I actually am
the era of the self-made man is over
He also made a game no one had done before. What game could you make today like that?
>no one made a voxel sandbox before Minecraft
MC was literally based on Infiniminer
No, it was cringe on infiniminer
False, he stole the idea from Infiniminer
Being able to execute an idea is more valuable than having one
first of all
>moving goalpost
and yes it is, that's why nobody here gonna make it
Moving what goalposts? Notch literally MADE a game no one has ever done before, it literally doesn't matter if the idea wasn't original
>stole
>idea
Choose one
>He also made a game no one had done before
people dont appreciate what a new experience it was. even the minimalist piano music was sovl
destroying pol would cause them to spread out
some of them would resettle here
stupid apuposter
>Notch wrote Minecraft's base code in a WEEKEND
And how much money it brought during this weekend?
>You could make a billion-dollar game RIGHT NOW if you just sat down and made it.
No you couldn't. Good ideas are finite.
This is false and also loser think.
Prove wrong (you won't)
you posted this thread to bait angry responses about how he stole infiniminer
If had that much money I would pay poo's and chinks to shit up pol 24/7.
I bet somebody already is doing this
Multiple people are bot spamming it for free with the shitposting AI.
What shitposting AI?
GPT-3 was trained on reddit, but not 4ch (because toxic blah blah) so when you see posts that feature reddit-style language
>you do realize, right?
>tell me you're [x] without telling me you're [x]
etc
there's a good chance the post was generated by AI for the purpose of diluting the site and wasting our time
>Notch wrote Minecraft's base code in a WEEKEND.
copying and pasting code from Infinimer probably wouldn't take too much time
Why spend time programming? You can make billions writing a book, look how many writers have achieved that. Just sit down and write.
Lots more people buying games than reading books, tard.
>source: my ass
>have all these great book ideas
>can't write any comprehensible sentences
Just copy sentences from better writers and change the verbs and nouns so they fit what you write.
Why are you suddenly so obsessed with him OP
he disnt write the code. Infiniminer was open source and it was just basically modded infiniminer
And CS was modded Half-Life.
So what?
You could solve Fermat's Last Theorem RIGHT NOW if you just knew the right combination of numbers and letters. Isaac Newton invented calculus because he was bored.
imagine being Zach Barth who made infiniminer. I know he has said he's not mad about minecraft but you know that's just cope.
I don't know how I could deal with that if I was him. Honestly, I don't think I could. that would frick me up every single day.
The twist in the tale is that Notch's post sale depression is actually a result of Zach spiking his food with depressants so that he can trick the public into believing he's better off than Notch, even in spite of the wealth.
his copium levels must be astronomical
At least he actually managed to make multiple other successful games
It turns out that Minecraft was successful because it applied those base mechanics in a sandbox where you can build your own house to shelter from zombies...
The Infiniminer guy must know deep down that he would never do something like that, so I believe he isn't offended by Notch, even if he "cloned" Infinimier in the beginning.
It's not an incredible leap in logic to jump from what he had into a sandbox game, when all the building blocks (excuse the pun) were right there in front of him.
If it doesn't eat him up inside then hes a better man than I would be in his position.
I understand why Game Patents exist now.
No he's literally not coping. Zach Barth has a form of autism where he legitimately doesn't care about money. He quit game development to become a high school teacher. Not a fricking university professor in game design.
A fricking high school math teacher at some random school just because he thought it was fun.
He's the kind of guy that doesn't give a shit and just does whatever. Kind of like how some autists just sit inside with their train sets 24/7 and are legitimately happy and fulfilled.
I just want stormwork and ksp to have a baby
I'm to moronic to code anything
i'm 32 years old and i have never held a girl's hand
gmi
Consider suicide
I'm 32 year old and I have held a girl's hand but it changed nothing...
same age and the only girl's hand i held was a Ganker girl
so what
i could have made it by now, i had my chances but i fumbled all of them so i'm still a virgin and haven't had any opposite sex contact that isn't my mom in years
Holy shit, just turn your life around and quit your self-pity. As long as you aren't dead you can fix things.
have sex with your mom?
Friend of mine lost his virginity at 37 and now has children. He met his girlfriend on Ganker. She was a 22 year old Asian girl living in England. Literally the only thing he did was simp for her on /soc/ while other anons were being hostile incels.
I remember seeing a video about his house.
It struck me how cheap a lot of stuff in there looks, despite likely costing shitloads.
Stuff like plastic-wrapped display rifles, a basic-b***h custom chopper, a bunch of other random shit, supermarket-style M&M dispensers in the arcade parlor etc. A lot of the stuff in there wasn't even the pretentious kind of overpriced, like, say a "painting" by some b***h who drank paint then vomited it on a canvas. It was just overpriced versions of cheaper things.
Genuinely felt like the house of a guy who never spent any time developing 'tastes', and felt like he had to do something with his money after he got it.
The house came with all that crap, he didn't furnish it like that himself
Looked a bit too disjointed in terms of 'style' (for a loose interpretation of...) to have already been present there when he bought it.
The video you saw was literally the real estate agency sales video for the house
Rich people in LA have no taste at all, I don't get why he bought a house in LA. Could have moved literally anywhere in the world and he picked that shithole
>I don't get why he bought a house in LA. Could have moved literally anywhere in the world and he picked that shithole
Have to agree with you here, spent some time with work in LA a few years back. Definitely nowhere near my top 10 picks for buying a house.
>regular Gankerirgin who makes it big
>doesn't know what rich people tastes are
>proceedes to get bamboozled out of his cash

PATHETIC
why not unreal? unity's licensing is confusing to me once you get past 100k.
Not him but it's a bit of a double edged sword. Unity is far easier to learn and more accessible so it's ideal for solodev. Unreal is much harder to learn and not ideal for solo development for a lot of reasons. And Godot is designed by people with downsyndrome. So there's pros and cons to everything.
>why not unreal
Unreal is possible, but I use Unity cause Im use to it already
>unreal
unless you have a full team it makes no sense to use unreal. unity is the best for solos and small teams
Why not GMS at that point?

I made some quake mods like 5 years ago and now I'm working on my own engine in C because I don't really feel like marrying any of the options available. I'll give Irrlict credit that it's cool, but I'd prefer to use C over C++.
>Notch wrote Minecraft's base code in a WEEKEND
>import infiniminer.jar ;
Was wondering if someone was gonna point out that this hack stole code and assets from infiniminer.
idk how to code
You're right anon just like the guy Notch took his idea from--oh wait
I don’t get why people don’t try to make a new Pokémon-like game instead of making another shooter game
Pokemon clones are literally everywhere dude pokemon is just actual garbage so none of them ever take off
Even the mini game based around pokemon wow shoved in was total shit
This. Pokemon games are carried by brand alone, not good gameplay.
he did not write minecraft in a weekend, that is some bullshit story you are dumb enough to believe.
just making the ui in minecraft would take longer.
Making a half decent game requires learning programming
1. Programming is a meme
2. Even if you did learn you'd make way more money building apps or webdev
notch makes 100 million dollars a year off interest alone
???
Don’t lie to ppl. Notch first worked for popcap or some company and made small games for them and built up a work understanding and routine that worked. This is when he broke off and managed to do something with it. God uses people. The game idea and engine already existed for what he wanted to do, which helped. But it also distracts us from making 3D Metroid and Mario games which would be perfect for kids on computer. Imagine those block smash segments and coin rooms in Mario 3 and super Mario world tier stuff. That is what I want to play.
what?
no good zachtronic games to rip off rn sadly.
Even if I could code, which I can't, I have no original game ideas in my head
Well look anon because I just don't know how to program and I studied a career related to programming but more than anything I feel that I don't have the bases of what is required today to do projects but anyway in respect to the game I know what I want do, I know the engine I need is the unreal engine but I feel stuck in the story and programming
And market saturation, dont forget about market saturation. Dont act like its the same world as 2011.
Why hasnt he used his money to lose weight and get hair transplant?
I do wanna make games, but where do i start? i have no knowledge on coding or engines like unity.
youtube tutorials
you gotta be like an idiot savant to make certain ideas massive hits.
who would have thought a game based around building brown bricks could be so popular?
or think of other stupid ideas. who would have thought creating facebook would be so profitable? never in my life i would have thought people would willing give out their personal info for free.
facebook wasn't an organic success. places like facebook and twitter basically got snatched up by US intelligence agencies and then get forced onto the population for obvious reasons. it's a control method, not a sincere corporation.
How did the agencies force people to use these platforms?
Not that anon, but if you want to somehow force people to use a platform like that you do it in tandem with organic growth.
Push schools to use FB as their preffered platform (had classes that legit had me join FB pages for it)
Post important and or relevant gov info on pages
Link to facebook constantly
Basically do a lot of marketing work for them.
Why are you so obsessed with this?
It's not healthy to constantly fantasize about what you'll never have.
Make your own game if you need it so badly, dude.
Wave Break was continuously shilled on both here and /agdg/. This was a very safe concept to get popular and it flopped. Don't make a game to make money, do it because you like it
the game looks incredibly soulless. it's also not a safe concept, it's very niche. a safe concept would by co-op/multiplayer survival fps
What is safe about that concept? Its a game that is confusing AF to explain and when you tie your concepts to other games like tony hawk etc. you are inevitably faced with the question... why should i not just play those instead? So the more games you smash together like that, the more competition you created for yourself.
Notch didn't set out to become a billionaire or even a millionaire
It was just dumb luck. Right place, right time
This is such bullshit. He knew he had gold. You were not in his endless Ganker livestreams and don't remember him talking about becoming the Bill Gates of video games.
I could honestly see him saying that
>endless Ganker livestreams
These never happened
Notch had full examples like Blockland to model Minecraft after.
What does that have to do with you not being a rich gaming god?
You can stop making this thread daily now
Nah, I'm good.
He is a very experienced and passionate videogame developer. Aside from MANY small scale projects he also was co-developing Wurm Online.
Minecraft is the only thing that blew up and your statement could be considered a fallacy in this oversaturated market.
>oversaturated
Words to tell yourself to make your failure easier to bear. Have you considered the market may be UNDERSERVED, you fricking tard? Are you aware that the market was considered oversatured when Notch was making his game, you lazy excuse-making poorhomosexual?
It might be true. But there's a common sentiment that videogame success is connected to luck a wee bit too much.
Solo developers and small teams don't make a lot of money to the point where making copycat abortions of videogames and throwing them into a cesspool of mobile appstores yelds actual stable income.
What's the last time you've bought anything on itch.io? Das rite.
>itch.io
isn't the creator of that site a complete c**t
>Notch stole Zach's code in one weekend
I'm an adhd moron who knows nothing about programming
Notch struck gold and created an entire genre.
Like any of you could make something decent, I guarantee all of your game ideas revolve around shitty moeshit anime garbage.
Notch was a weird fat balding anime tard. He became a billionaire because it's actually not that hard to do so. Most people aren't really trying. I'm not kidding about this.
Go on. Enlighten us.
Get out of your stupid local status heirarchy, stop playing small bullshit local status games, and find a position of leverage that other people are ignoring because they're focused on stupid bullshit, and then actually use that leverage. You can be dumb, fat, gay, balding, and moronic. Doesn't matter. Just find the leverage and be autistic about it.
go on
>created an entire genre
Ugly low poly garbage?
I like how nu-Ganker is trying to whitewash notch because he made a few le ebin shitposts on Twitter
Everyone fricking hated him here and called him a lazy, fat israelite who constantly took vacations and eventually fricked off to reddit
he's not a israelite, 100% scandinavian nordic
i don't wanna be like him cause he hates trans people
anybody have a link to minecrafts source code?
preferably an older simpler version
I have my game all planned out, I know exactly what it will be.
I know it isn't anywhere near a billion dollars.
I'd be surprised if it made 10,000.
It is about as niche as you can imagine but it would be the game I would want to play.
It would also get taken off Steam so I would want to release it myself, meaning it wouldn't make 1000.
There wasn't a saturation of indie games when Notch came onto the scene. Nobody is ever going to strike paydirt like he did again in the gaming space.
You are such a self-sabotaging moron that you can't even remember people saying the EXACT same thing when Notch was burning the midnight oil.
My father didnt kill himself brcause I wasnt an awful son
I literally can't, my first job out of high school was doing back end web development for an IT sweatshop and I burned out so hard that I have unironic PTSD from it.
After a nearly decade long break I wrote a little accordion menu system for a volunteer project I worked on several years ago and couldn't sleep for 3 days.
My game ideas die with me.
This could be you.
But I don't want to be fat
Nobody wants to be bald and fat regardless of how much money they have.
You will end up fat and bald anyway, but not on forbes' cover
what the frick is a forbes even?
I want to make a game more than anything but I'm too moronic to understand and learn coding.
>in a weekend
>minecraft code
Yea he just copied giant chunks of infiminer and made a barely runnable jank demo. Even the first actual iterations of minecraft were pretty horrid and nowhere near what it is today.
If you wan't to take inspiration from notch. Do so. But take the right lesson. Its not about making something original. Its about finding an niche that did not yet blow up, take a game that already exists and polish it, and market it to that crowd.
I wonder if Microsoft regrets shelling out a billion dollars for the Minecraft IP. They can't do anything with it. Minecraft autists don't want a Minecraft 2 or a spin-off, they just want more bricks to stack in their little playroom.
They got Minecraft for a steal. The IP is worth more than 10B easily
Notch just wanted out and was willing to take a huge loss because at those scales it doesn't matter much if you've got 1 or 10 billion
did they even made any money from it? minecraft isn't as popular as it once was and most people that play it bought it long ago, they bought it at it's peak when minecraft was on news sites, tv and even education, now it's just another game
It's a forever game that will never go out of style. There will always be a new generation that buys and plays it
It is literally a timeless game they can keep selling forever with a customer base that renews itself
not if microsoft keeps shitting all over it
What's stopping the OP?
>just win a lottery bro
How is it a lottery? He made the game, shilled it hard, and carefully improved it over the years.
Tens of thousands of devs did the same thing and got nowhere. You are a genuine moron if you think your indie shovelware game is going to be the next Minecraft.
Those other devs made bad games, tard.
Yea, because noone else makes a game, shills it hard, and improves it over the years. And yet here we are, he is still the only one who made a billion by doing so. Totally not winning the lottery right?
It is more timing that winning the lottery. I could win the lottery tomorrow and get on a few million, but a few weeks ago it was over 100 million.
Minecraft hit right in that sweet spot 09/10 time frame It is why you won't see another Minecraft acquisition of this level. Im sure other indie games will get snatched up but 2.1 billion isn't happening no matter how good your game is.
What did I miss recently to cause all these god damn Notch threads? They are all essentially the same god damn thread.
Notch having second thoughts
they are all made by the same autistic person, no shit
Most people here, and most people in general could make shit loads of money. It would just require lots of dedication to something specific.
Like how most big twitch streamers are just crap at games but they autisticly streamed every bit of their gaming for years and eventually got a big audience.
well I mean.. he is the only man on earth to get a deal that good
speaking of, what the frick was microsoft thinking?
I would have sold the franchise if they offered me 50 million
You can't do shit with 50 million. Even $2.5 billion is not CHANGE THE WORLD money. He should have waited and sold at $10B, but he doesn't understand value.
moron
You're both young and have no concept of scale. Elon has change-the-world money. Notch doesn't.
I'm 37, successful, and you have literally no idea what you're talking about.
I'm reasonably successful myself. Not rich but high-status enough to met people in the top echelons. It's very hard to change the world at all but the very highest levels of wealth, because game theory mandates that competition from other people at lower levels will push against whatever you're trying to achieve.
Elon has lead companies to change the world. Money would have made this easier for him but without the companies he wouldn't be changing anything. Jeff Bezos is the second richest person on the globe but he can barely affect anything
Money matters but if you want to truly change the world its going to take more than money
Zoomer hands typed this moronic as frick post
He didn't want to change the world he wanted his old anon life back. If he wanted to have an impact he would have kept minecraft
>You can't do shit with 50 million.
You can live a life of comfort and luxury with it, dummy.
Who cares about that? You can live comfortably on $100k. The whole point of existing is to bend reality to your will.
>The whole point of existing is to bend reality to your will.
That's gay as hell
Notch mentioned on his blog back in the day that he will never sell Minecraft, or at least not for less that 2 billion dollars. That was meant to be a joke, but seems like Microsoft didn't really get it and they then offered 2.2 billions for it
>disregards all the other projects and things he'd written in his life to amass the experience needed before then
Man, I fricking hate him, and every other successful indie developer, it reminds me how moronic I am and no matter how many games I'll made, I'll never be as famous or rich as them
Frick you all
Tell me one idea you have for a game, I'll tell you if you're moronic
>Bro, just tell me an idea for a game that I'll totally not steal if its good bro, just trust me bro
lmao
I won't give you my existing one, but here's one I just came up with:
A shoot'em up mobile game like Hotline Miami, but with upgradeable weapons and you have limited ammo in every level, you gain ammo by killing enemies, and if you frick up and lost all the ammo, you lose.
If the gameplay is as satisfying as hotline miami is it could work. That entire idea hinges on your ability to produce incredibly satisfying gameplay.
But I don't see what would be the mobile market monetization scheme in this, just ads?
I doubt it would be popular, so probably just putting a price would be a better option I think, like $5 dollars or something.
As a straight buy the game price? That would be a bad play for a mobile game
At least go the half the game is free and the latter half of it costs something to unlock. You'd want to hook people on the gameplay before you ask them for money since you are basing your success on how addictive the gameplay is
Envy is a sin, anon.
Show me your games
I like how morons find a story of pure one in a billion luck and try to sell idea of success being possible if oyu just try
No it is not
You work for elites for free, spreading their propaganda
its not your work that gets you up there
It's not luck. Making a game is not like winning a fricking lottery ticket.
making an indie game that will sell millions is actually luck
Bug Fables for example had a budget of 25k and has been out for 3+ years already and only has an estimated 850k sales minimum minus the steam tax
He copied a game that was already made.
then open google, search for an open source project that is at least a little bit successful, and copy that too.
He has the capital to leverage when calling out the dark forces in power as a direct witness to the inner billionaire child sacrifice circle, however the average man who says what he says will lose their god, be targeted by the Neo Technocratic Social Credit Control Grid, and be slandered by the media of their father the devil. Since Notch is a self made billionaire, he is the prime target of the generational elite who bought Minecraft as a vessel for subversion, so he could do better.
>Nothing is stopping you from reaching his level of success
>Nothing but will to succeed.
So you're telling me that if I have will to succeed then I will fail.
k
