There are people RIGHT NOW making really shitty indie games and earning 100k+ dollars on Steam, Patreon, Kickstarter, Indiegogo.
Boop :)

>white cis male
I think you mean polyqueergenderfluid transrace transdemigirl, dumbass
go get free money
gofundme.com
>>344145062
you could literally market yourself like this by spamming twitter
you don't even have to be a genderfluid transnigger, just make other people believe that you are and you'll swim in money
>>344144187
If it's so easy, then why aren't you cashing in?
>>344145062
>I'm too lazy to dye my hair pink and pose as someone who gives a shit about diversity.
Patreon was a mistake. Tons of artists who drew because "They loved to share their art with the world" have become greedy due to it. I respect artists who didn't Jew up after Patreon.

>south park image in the OP
And suddenly all your opinions on the quality of those games mean literally fucking nothing you underage shit
>>344144187
And the games I've worked on have all made over a million dollars in the last year, and continue to make money to this day.
>>344147314
Hey, man. Art takes a lot of effort and practice to produce. Why not get paid for it?
>>344144187
the bubble will burst
as soon as I put my game on steam
steam is this decades platform for "independent "funding online. like last decade was youtube.
>>344147378
South park is over 20 years old
When you die bitter and alone, blaming the world for your personal flaws,. south park will still be here too, and so will I
Who genuinely needs some money in this thread? Like genuine third worlders with intellectual minds and future potential, but who are too shy and don't have a kickstarter?

Even if the game is shit, creating a whole video game takes a shitton of effort.
>>344145062
Just lie. It's not like social justice types care about the truth.
>>344149872
Like just make game. Get a non-bloated engine(not Unity), make some half-assed tweened animations in 8-bit, use non trademarked music, add a feelsy story, make it slightly interesting, make it comfy, learn to advertise to tens of thousands of people at once.
Bam. Instant money and artistic creator satisfaction.
Problem with the engine? Follow a 10 minute tutorial or just randomly click buttons till you understand what each one does.
>>344150032
Show me your game please, if you think that it is so easy, anon.
To create games you have to learn a programming language, you have to learn to use the tools you use, you have to be able to draw/sculpt the assets decently, etc etc.
It's not as difficult as many people think, but it's still a shitton of effort.
>>344150447
Create a shitty visual novel in Ren'py about cotton picking coons and parade it as a progressive masterpiece. There. Done.
You don't even need that many art assets.

How do I lie though? I'm not good at lying.

Literally all you have to do is scream about the patriarchy, how you're an oppressed transnigger muslimkin and that you need metagender reassignment surgery. They will then throw their social justice bux at you.
>>344151058
But if I try to, people will be able to tell I'm lying. I can't say/write shit like that without sounding sarcastic. How do I sound sincere when lying?
>>344151221
You can't, since you're not black or asian people will believe you anyway.
>>344150939
One tiny scene? I asked for a whole game.
>>344151221
Anon, you don't get it. There are groups of black people who believe that black people had time travel, space travel and that the pyramids were spaceships, but that all went to shit because of whitey. No matter what insane theory or imaginary persecution you come up with, they will probably believe it.

>Currently under development
>Demo
Nice try. next time perhaps.
>>344151503
Really, where can I read about these things?
>>344144187
Yup.
These days anyone can make their own game with all the available engines around (Unreal, Unity, etc). It's easy as fuck to do if you know basic shit about computers and programming.
The biggest problem is 98% of these indie creations are horseshit but end up on the internet for sale and get sold anyways because retards will buy them.
There's simply a huge lack of quality control.
Even Bad Rats was so shit it became a meme here on /v/ and anons were recommending it to other anons.
>>344151768
You asked for a game, there it is. What's the problem?
The only indie games I've ever bought are:
Hotline Miami 1&2
Party Hard
Terraria
Am I ruining the industry?
>>344151861
It's just a demo. Come back when you can sell this whole thing and then tell me how much money you made.
To be able to make money with games is not as easy as you might think, even when the game is shit compared to others.
>>344152014
But I have made money
>>344151841
It will filter through generations and control itself eventually.
The ones which make more money get to make the bigger sequel.
People just need to stop buying goat simulator and surgeon simulator.
>>344152137
>$7.00
kek
Congratulations, now you can buy yourself a cake
>>344152137
Good work anon.
You have done more then most people here on /v/
I wish you all the best
>>344152209
>It will filter through generations and control itself eventually.
Making a game barely costs anything anymore. As long as indie shit keeps getting dumped on the internet and people will keep buying indie shit I don't think it will.
>>344152402
The devs with higher aspirations will make bigger more AAA games.
>>344152308
>show me your game
>show me the download line to your game
>lol it's only a demo xD
>come back when you made money
>lol you didn't make enough money xD
Are you going to move the goalpost a 6th time?
>>344152397
Thanks
I'm almost done with the torture that is GUI work. Once that's done I'm going to add multiplayer to the game.
>working
>literally being a slave for money
>not freeing yourself from all obligations in life and doing absolutely nothing for a guaranteed paycheck
im not rich but i get by, and i do literally everything and anything i could possibly want, its perfect
>>344152610
>Leeching off the state/welfare/taxes
You, sir, are a waste of oxygen and other resources. A parasite of society.
>>344144187
>There are people RIGHT NOW making really shitty indie games and earning 100k+ dollars
Yep, a handfull of sucessfull ones in a sea of failures that dont even pay their creators enough to make a living.
>>344152610
how do you earn your money?
>>344145062
are you kidding me?
just say you identify as (insert anything here) gender who feels oppressed by the privilege of the white cis male
>>344152498
>move the goalpost
The thread was about making big money with games, idiot. $7 is not big money, it's basically nothing.
>>344152602
I'm looking to make a game myself.
A 2D sidescroller necromancer game.
Do have any idea to what engine i should use?
>>344153421
If it's 3d, use Unity, if it's 2d, use Game Maker
>>344153178
Maybe I should start a patreon thing then since I've already got the game halfway done.
>>344153421
I'm using unity because I'm already familiar with c#/.net.
>>344153492
>>344153627
Thanks for the reply. I am not skilled ind programing. But i just can't stop thinking about how much i want to play and make my own game. It kinda haunts me. I will look closer at game maker .
>>344153745
If you like playing video games, don't learn how to make them. Video games are one case where you don't want to know how they're made.
>>344153745
I also just started using game maker. It's really good way to start, and all the tutorials for it make it really easy. The really difficult part about it will just be creating your own art assets, the rest is just a matter of time.
>>344153894
What makes you say that?
Have you become a little jadded from all the work?
>>344153935
Thank you. What game are you making?
>>344154410
I want to make shmups, but I still just follow tutorials and want to get familiar with the programm and language. That's why I don't make a real game yet, just small very simple mini games. >>>147687180
>>344154643
Ooops thread seems to be dead already.
>>344144187
How many don't make shit though?
>>344154342
When you learn to make video games, you learn that they're all just software; you start to look at the games as software rather than games, so they aren't fun like they were before.
Since then the only thing that I find really fun is to do things that break the immersion in the game, like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7I89jJTrr6Y&index=19&list=PLx2i8H4p-l9mXl8m-ZJdNTt7gfGIPpxKK
>>344154848
Thank you. You have given me something to think about. Good luck with your game.
>>344147623
There's nothing wrong with making money through art, but these people try to scam their followers. Not to mention, there are shits like Slugbox who never drew because of passion but fame.
