>instead of being on /v/ all these years you could have coded your dream game
Does anybody else roll their eyes when an indie dev team says, "The game we're developing is the game we've always wanted to play."?
Something about it irritates me.
:( instead of die-ing you could have appreciated having developed your dream game
my dream game couldn't be coded with the collective time ALL OF US have spent on this board.

But I'v been here for a week

>mfw the game I'm developing is the game I've always wanted to play
It would have been shit anyway.
I'd rather have got good at art. Maybe I'll try drawing tomorrow or something.
>>340152782
>he doesn't shitpost while also coding his dream game
>>340153338
Yes and what games have you coded in the last week?
I'm too dumb to code.
Every time I've tried is met with immediate failure because I can't figure it out properly.
I always end up forgetting and trying it again later at some point though
The emerging state of the current games industry killed my spirit for game design long ago
>>340152906
Why would you develop something you don't want to play?
>>340153607
What if you mix things up and end up shitposting in the coding part?
>>340153593
This is a cool post that should be supported, but I'm afraid saying this will make it lame
>>340152782
>programming
>fun
It's the least fun part of game development by far. Game design is where the fun is at.

T-thanks Anon, y-you too.
>>340152782
Overwatch is my dream game and I didn't even have to make it, Blizzard Entertainment did all the work for me and everybody else who dreamed of such a masterpiece.
>>340153740
ask any AAA company
>>340153841
ayy no problem if you get rich/famous don't forget me
Not that I was interested in making a game in the last few years. Only recently I've been thinking about trying to brush up on the little programming I knew and try to make some super simple shit ansi roguelike.
At least I still have books from school.
>>340153985
I doubt I will! I just want to draw cute boys with animal ears and tails all day. All SFW. I'm sure no one would pay for that.
>>340152906
>"The game we're developing is the game we've always wanted to play."
>The game they ended up making is a pile of shit
>>340152782
Is this who easter island heads were based off?
But who would ahve done the models and textures? What about the audio?
I dont want to code a game. I want to play games
>learning to code to make games
Hahaha
>>340152782
>falling for the marriage meme
That was the first mistake
>>340153840
Game design is boring as shit, you just sit there going "what if". You can't even test to see if your work is any good without having other people look at it. Coding is like you're playing a game while you're making a game. Thinking up crazy solutions, solving problems left and right, compiling and actually seeing your work pay off.
>>340154679
real game design isn't sitting in a bubble just coming up with ideas, it's iterating over the process, real game designers actually have to know how to code or at least modify data files
>>340154846
It's still boring as shit compared to writing the game code.

When you spend years working for big companies like ubisoft you don't have much say in what you do and probably make games you have no interest in. The people who say this are probably ex-AAA employees breaking out of their chains.
Spending so much time on /v/ has taught me a lot of valuable things, though. Like that fact that I'll never ever code anything worthwhile.
>>340156454
A pro tip would be if you're a game dev just don't listen to /v/.
>>340153740
Because by the time you're done and it's ready to ship, you won't want to touch it again.
>>340153740
mass market appeal

>no drawing skill to create textures, sprites etc
>no ear for music to create sounds, soundtracks, etc
>No money to hire anyone anyway
>everything has been done already, original idea is really hard to think off
i'm ok, I'll just go fap again or something
>>340157067
>can into art
>can eventually into programming
>try to make a game and get bored as shit
Making games is boring imo
>>340152782
This guy has the facial features of a black man but green eyes, pink skin and blonde hair.
How.
>>340154679
Idea guy is not a job, that's why you don't get paid for it.
And he reason why my project went to shit.
>>340157067
Use placeholders, duh.
>>340157208
You're retarded
>>340157208
it's just the lens
>>340152782
why can't I do both?
>>340157067
>implying any idea is original
>implying it's not just implementation that's the important thing
>>340152906
I've got a game idea that I'm going to make some day just because it's the game I want to play.
>>340152782
I'd love to develop my own game, but it seems that there is too much that one needs to know/be good at to make the game even somewhat good. If you're working by yourself you need to be able to: write, design, code, compose, implement, test and release. A bit too much for one person to handle...
>>340152906
I'm going to develop a game that nobody wants to play. That'll teach em.
>>340157567
post more
Words like could or would don't exist. You either do or do not. Clearly, you didn't. If you start now, you still can, given that you won't give up.
I know some c++ and now I'm trying to learn how to use UE4. Will make a turn based RPG someday
>>340157567
This, desu
>>340157452
>>340157371
Yeah okay

I'm gonna play your game and there's nothing you can do about it
