Listen to the soundtrack and look at the world design. Most of that was done by one guy.
That shit takes effort on its own. In addition to that he had to come up with the fight design and figure it out.
Also he designed in all the fourth-wall breaks, something that's rarely done in the way it did.

The art is minimal effort pixel art, the music was basic FL studio compositions you'd see thousands of on Soundcloud, and the game was made in Game Maker so there's no complex coding to begin with.

This is a 6-month game. Considering how much his Kickstarter got, it's unacceptable.
>>
>>324358735
his pixel art is pretty amateurish. But as far as amateurs go, he's not as bad as the real bottom of the barrel. If you've never dabbled with pixel art,, or art in general, then you're going to find that even simple shapes will look worse than his stuff.

Having a tool to produce music, doesn't mean you have the skill to compose it. Toby has a background in music, and has been composing tracks for quite a while.

Game Maker still requires a modicum of coding knowledge if you want to do anything. Which, again, Toby already had practice with, because he dabbled with making game mods. Producing *finished* fan games.

The writing is actually fairly complex. When you look behind the spaghetti jokes, the plot's whole meta bullshit, complicates things. Add to that a bit of time travel, and you have to potential for a fucking contradiction filled mess. YET, somehow he plotted all the events perfectly, so no events conflict with each other. And there is a fairly large web of complex contexts, creating many possibilities. All of which, are addressed. The attention to detail is amazing.

You poor fool.
I'm into the furry fandom. They certainly are more appreciative of artists. But even they won't shower you with money. How much work do you think you can actually do?

Say you sell sketches for $20. How many sketches can you get done to actually make good money? 30 sketches a month, is only $600. Can you do twice that? Well you only make $1,200. can you sell your sketches for more? Well how are you going to sell 60 sketches a month, when only a fraction of 60 people would even be willing to pay more than that? The more you charge, the more buyers fall off.

You think you're going to be the guy that charges $500+ per commission? You have skill like that?

A bit over 900,000 people bought Undertale on Steam, at $10 per game that's $9m, but Steam takes a 30% cut, so $6.3m.
Two people worked on the game full-time and others were hired in as needed, so it's possible to expect that Toby himself got maybe half the cut (assuming Temmie isn't retarded irl as in the game), so $3m.
It took him two years to make the game, so he effectively earned $150k a month, with living costs covered by the KS money.
Of course, this is all assuming your game is a breakout success, something that's always impossible to guarantee.

It's not hard to do, in fact most people in AGDG have rendered it down to a step by step formula. The majority of them don't bother trying to copy it because they have standards and live for their craftsmanship rather than for money - something a greedy child could never ever possibly comprehend.

What? Pretty sure the other artists only contributed here and there. Temmie goes to school, and all that. She doesn't have time to work full time on the game. I severely doubt Toby gave up half the profits to them. The 50K he made on kickstarter was likely the money he used to pay them. They probably aren't getting any cut of the profit, unless Toby is just a really generous guy, and gives them like 5% for the first 100k. That seems more fair. Them having the potential to earn 50K. Then beyond that, everything goes to Toby.

He crowd funded tons of money just to sit in a room alone and make the entire game by himself. He had temmie help with some random enemy designs here and there and she didn't get paid fuck all for it. No one else did anything of value for the game.

Why did he need to crowd fund a game he made in his spare time with minimal effort, I will never understand.

Your very first post was you saying ou should get into games because you think low effort ones are successful, implying you would do the same. When people told you it did require effor YOU said you could do better than toby fox, so people called you out on it.
YOU said you coudl do everything toby did, guss what raising money and by proxy making a successful kickstarter isn't always easy, many projects never get funded. So that is part of the work. YOU moved the goalposts when you said you'd need to hire someone to do the music.

I just don't know what he needed money for. The only thing I can think of was that he quit his day job and lived off of Kickstart money.

Holy shit, look at this samfag bringing nothing to the table save for the old, "Then you do it," argument that's brought up when someone comments on how shitty and uninspired most modern art is. Undertale is a mediocre game that got popular due to viral marketing and the inclusion of trendy social bullshit. Could I make something better? Nope.

He asked for 5k, he got given 50k.

To pay rent while he actually made the game. I'm guessing that money was just to replace any actual job he would have had to work while making the game.

The strongest point of Undertale is actually the music. Without it, the game would be more like Underwhelming am I right?

No but really, the music is 90% of the game.

here is what you do anon. browse tumblr for around a month, get to know the ins and outs, what sick fetishes, and genders, and other crap they sprout, take in their wisdom.

Then you make a game about that crap, and voila, you're a millionaire.

Like Toby Fox.

IF EVER asked about gender of characters or other nonsense, just stay neutral or misdirect the question, this spawns more fan made garbage which lures more freaks, thus they buy your game, thus you make more money.

Undertale for it's first month wasn't very popular until tumblrs nose got apart of it.

what do you people consider "effort"? If it takes millions of dollars to make? If it has good graphics?

There's a reason why they're called indie games, it's because they're made with not a lot of money or resources. Low production values doesn't mean it didn't take a lot of effort.

OP, you should probably go for imitating niggers like Etika. The dude literally started games with the Wii as his first console, knows jack shit about any kind of gaming history, pretends to be "in" on all the kool kid gamer hype, acts like am absolute literal baboon while making oh so clever "lol therss bottles of lotion in the background and I'm in my boxers, what was I doing before this video? ;)" jokes, and literally just commentates over OTHER people's interesting videos as a source of his own videos because he's too uncreative to make his own shit. He doesn't even need to find videos himself because his fanbase will spam him with links of interesting shit and comb through the internet for him for their 5 seconds of fame.

People like him truly make me wish I had the balls to throw out my pride and rake in the easy money by being a complete reaction autist.

devfag here, you would not believe how much effort it takes to make a game, a polished one at least, undertale shitposting is pretty high on this board but it was decently made and unique enough to make money, unless you have some mind altering game idea or something memeable i wouldn't bother because you will most likely get frustrated and give up, making you even more of a jaded asshole, or you could just not be a pussy and fucking do it, pic related, its small pice of a larger shit im using to scale the UI with the GUI properly for aspect ratios most people will never play it on

Undertale's promotional materials and screenshots didn't instantly make me think of Mother- not even the battle system is the same. Your game screams "You liked Mario, right? Play my game too" without a hint of attempting to be anything else.

And tbqh, it's really douchey of you to build your game up by trashing other games. Why not take the high road?

It's EASY. Even without RPG Maker, which is just doing all the work for you, even asset creation.

You know Clerks? 90 minutes of some guys working in a shop talking to customers, shot after hours in a real video store for free? It cost $30,000 dollars to make. Inflation adjusted that's about $50,000.

Before you go around spouting "durr durr I could make a game in a weekend while jerking off and it would be better than Undertale" try making something yourself. It's always longer and harder than you expect.
