>indie developer sells millions of copies of his flash/RPGmaker game through steam
>spends the next decade resting on his laurels
Why is every indie developer like this?
What about it? If I enjoyed that game, I'm satisfied.
Literally only in it for the money
The same reason people who win the lottery don't spend all their winnings on more lottery tickets, OP

He already made the game he wanted to make, why would he churn out more?
Why not? I'd do it too. Why put in effort to more things when I've already got enough money?
There's mewgenics and the mobile super meat boy for whatever that's worth

>>322257964
>implying mewgenics is ever coming out

>>322257964
Has mewgenics been released? I didn't see it on steam.

Indi devs are rarely professionals or even make games for a living. Pros train themselves to churn out product at a consistent pace regardless of their inspiration, and a cut-throat business keeps their skills sharpened.
It's not unreasonable for an ordinary person to get inspired enough to make a great piece of work and have that be their only acheivment in life henceforth. The legendary spy film series Seventeen Moments of Spring was made by a director that only ever shot that one series and had zero prior experience in film.

Only good thing about the DLC is the new character.

The keeper is a piece of shit
Binding of Isaac is great fun.
>>322258945
The only thing to do is use the glowing hourglass unless Ed's nerfed that somehow. If I did that donation shit normally like the shop one I would have probably killed myself.

If I made a game and never had to work again, I would never work again.
>>322257497
Thank god. Now Toby doesn't need to unleash another turd on the market.
>>322257497
Most people only ever have one good idea in them, and once they use it they never have another good idea.
Hotline Miami guy and Cavestory's Pixel and the guy who made Limbo and that other guy that made Braid come to mind
>>322259318
I played for like 10 hours straight last night to get the donation machine up to 780. It's amazing how time flies in Isaac.
>>322259090
Still a character.
>>322258141
It's like the gift that keeps on giving.
>>322259323
They won't have earned enough to not work again.
>>322259410
Why would he need to when everyone else is gonna try to copy him now.
>>322258141
I don't know how this game is still alive. I feel like it should died or gotten really big.
>>322259410
he's already planning his next kickstarter.

>Ultra Greed's HP scales with your dps
Ed you lazy faggot.

*for only 8.99
>>322257497
because you only work when you need money. If oyu have neough money you don't work unless you are a good fucking goy.
>>322259612
The game goes on sale a lot for dirt cheap and it's pretty unique. The music is also pretty interesting too.
I think it's a combination of the game's low price bringing in a decent flow of people and also having a dedicated few people who buy all the skins and dlc. They also were able to do a lot with the money from the kickstarter, I think they expanded their office and hired a lot of new people for the dev team.
>>322258141
Wait WHAT?
AN is getting ANOTHER expansion?
Well, "expansion?"
>>322257497
Unlike AAA developers/studios, indie developers only care about money
>>322259957
yeah, dunno why they made it cost as much as starstorm when it has less though
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SJ_oo16iQg
that's the theme for the first character to be released.
>>322259952
I'm well aware of the history and I backed the Kickstarter. I still just find it surprising that it's still around will kind of a small player base.
>>322260180
>10 minutes
That's a loop?
Anyway, while it's not good, it's definitely far from the worst I've heard.
>>322258141
>Starstorm is STILL 6 bucksDo people still play this game?
>>322257497
Probably because project management takes a lot of time and stress. Can't blame the developers really.
Although wasn't this made by two guys or so?
Isn't Mcmillan working on like 2 or 3 projects right now?
When did it become in vogue on /v/ to shit on every indie dev and act like they are all horrible people for no reason? Is it because Indie Game the movie showed they can be emotional at times, or is it some sort of jealousy or feeling of inadequacy in comparison?
I passed on Afterbirth this sale because its still the same price as Rebirth itself. Am I going to miss out on anything good?
Also what are the best item/character combos?
>>322257497
because dealing with the gaming community literally gives people cancer. Look at all the e celeb youtubers like Total Biscuit as proof.
>>322259070
*characters
>>322261852
I'm able to find matches easily enough, all though I have no clue what the actual population is.
>>322262706
it has a few fun new items and one cool character, then it fucks up a lot of other nice things from the base game
>>322257497
supergiant didn't, but their game had a girl in it so /v/ is probably scared of it like an 80s mom was scared of d&d
>>322257497
If you got in with some pile of crap no better than Kongregate games, and cashed out real big, wouldn't you just stop bothering?
>>322257497
because making and selling one game doesn`t include making games for eternity.
>>322259453
Which is completely normal.
Most gaming studios have a few different writers that all can bring in ideas.
>>322263325
im pretty sure you're being ironic but still, totalfaggot got cancer because he was living like a retard, its his own fault.
