I want Hiro to create a /gamdev/ board.
>but we already have /agdg/
Yeah, and it's shit.
Devs keep leaving because that thread is toxic, but if we had an entire board, discussion would be much more distributed and the shitposting would be less concentrated. A lot of devs post in /v/'s gamedev threads but refuse to join /agdg/ for the same reason.
Also having one single thread for everything concerning gamedev is stupid. In a /gamedev/ board, you could have
>threads dedicated to single engines/languages
>threads dedicated to modeling/pixel art/general art for games
>threads dedicated to music for games
>beginner threads
>/sqt/ - gamedev edition
>other threads related to gamedev, like marketing, writing, etc
Yes, it would be slow and yes it may not have enough topics to fill 10 pages, but so what? Slow boards aren't bad per se. In a fast thread, your posts could be missed, and the thread itself will not last for long. In a slow board, your posts will be visible for days, so even people who don't browse all day will be able to reply. And if there's not enough content for 10 pages, just make the board have less pages, like 5. Problem solved.
I think if we had a board like this, a lot more gamedevs would post in it than the devs that post and shitpost in /agdg/.
>yet ANOTHER /v/ spinoff board
Yes how about no.
>the thread is toxic so let's make a board instead
While i do like this idea i can't see much justification for it besides "aggressive shitposting"
>>391524
Why not?
>>391519
mothdan pls
>>391528
We don't need 32 /v/ spinoff boards just because /v/ is a shithole.
/agdg/ the board would be just as much of a shitfest as /agdg/ the thread
I'd rather not become /3/ 2.0
>>391542
Give it a rest, faggot.
>>391546
kill yourself danny
>>391544
>I can't ignore boards that don't interest me!
Worst argument ever.
>>391542
This right here is exactly why agdg needs to stay in one thread. The last thing we need is rotatedev and his obsession with mothdan shitting up multiple threads, he already stalks mothdan into /x/ enough as it is.
>>391551
fuck off back to /x/ you dont even make a game you just shitpost people who post progress just because you dont like them
>>391528
/v/ had to get two new boards to cure it's cancer and it didn't work
why would this work on a cancer /v/ thread
>>391552
>i am obsessed with mothdan
We know. His name is literally the first and last thing you post in every thread.
>>391549
>i want us to be reddit where we have 900 random ass boards that nobody but 3 people care about!
No anon that's a stupid idea
>>391560
>i want us to be 2ch where we have 900 random ass boards that nobody but 3 people care about
Fixed.
>>391542
>>391548
>>391552
Rotate, when you make posts like this you are just confirming what everyone in agdg already knows which is that you're the single biggest shitposter and nuisance left now that sourcefam has been dealt with. Stop telling other people to kill themselves because your little bully boohoo shit isn't working and just get the fuck out of agdg already. Stalking, obsessing over and trying to bully other devs is not okay you spoiled little cunt. There's a reason you never found the support you demanded from agdg just like gogem didn't, because you're assholes. If you need to act like this then go ahead and try to make agdg2 again or something, but it's just going to fail like everything else you do.
>>391519
that's retarded, just use the general in /vg/
gamedev threads aren't even that common on /v/. they only started popping up a little more because all the kids are out of class now
>>391583
wasn't he constantly pulling this shit with c-kun too? someone should just give his mom a phone call and have her stop paying for his internet or something.
>>391602
They started popping up on /v/ because the /agdg/ general is complete garbage and drives people away. I know you love cancerous culture and the things that comes with it, but it's destroying /agdg/ so everyone comes to /v/ to post in the unity threads.
I left the shit hole that is /agdg/ because no one was talking about anyones games and the games that were talked about was just circle jerked back in to oblivion.
I'm not saying that /agdg/ deserves it's own board but it shouldn't be allowed to have a general on /vg/ either. Just let the daily threads stay on /v/ since they're 100x better.
>>391612
Yeah he still flings shit at ckun. Pic related is from when he samefagged his own shitpost to ckun and immediately deleted it once he realized he forgot to remove his trip before samefagging. He then claimed it was a meme or some kind of joke or that he meant to do it and deleting his own post was part of the meme or something. It was funny but at the same time a real illustration of the way he thinks and what an incredible liar he is. He's a faggot bully samefag who can't do anything right and takes it out on everyone else and the last thing people like that need is multiple threads to run around in.
The worst part is rotate started obsessing over mothdan because mothdan wouldn't stop posting with a tripcode and it was when he realized he couldn't bully everyone he wanted to that he decided he was going to make "agdg2" on his own webserver. That failed for obvious reasons. Who wants to belong to a website run by a shithead like that? Now he is still obsessing over mothdan and shitposting about "danny" all day and literally posting with a tripcode on agdg because he lives in his own little world where he can do no wrong and never did anything wrong. Kind of like googum.
>>391635
>Just let the daily threads stay on /v/ since they're 100x better.
They aren't better they're just different and they have the ability to fly under the radar so that psychopaths like rotate have a chance to miss them. Once he gets inside though it's right back to shitposting and trying to bully people. But yeah /v/ threads aren't going anywhere they're a good tradition. Removing agdg would be insanity though whether you think it deserves to exist or not.
>>391660
And by being different they're good. They're everything /agdg/ should be but isn't. It's all about making progress and showcasing your game, talking about feedback and ideas.
>>391669
This is true, posting your project in /v/ is always a good idea and I've done it myself more than a few times. /v/ is our target audience as gamedevs which we can't say for agdg.
Losing faith in agdg is a step everyone goes through, usually a phase. Some devs either move on and never come back or just learn to take it for what it is.
>>391673
I learned that there is nothing to be won by being part of that community. And it's better to purge it.
>>391648
>rotate started obsessing over mothdan because mothdan wouldn't stop posting with a tripcode and it was when he realized he couldn't bully everyone he wanted to that he decided he was going to make "agdg2" on his own webserver
Ahem.
>im going to make an anonymous only agdg clone fuck agdg so much
And now he's posting in agdg with a tripcode. After telling us to fuck ourselves countless times and claiming he was going to leave even more. He's phil fish 2.0
>>391676
You're not entirely wrong. You won't win anything by being part of the community and the people most desperate to run the show there and become memes are usually bullies and shitheads that nobody likes. But there are still okay devs there and there will always be a healthy userbase of hundreds of posters in every thread and just as many lurkers. Gamejams and demodays are cool too, and when ludum dare rolls around where else will gamedevs post about it? It's best for gamedevs to find their place by making good games and building themselves up outside of agdg though. Agdg is not the place to make something of yourself just as it isn't the place to market your game, it's more of a lounge for gamedevs. Removing it would be wrong I say.
>>391519
That would just be another dead creative board. I rather see the existing creative boards with low traffix get merged into one, gamedev would easily fit there with how many creative directions it combines.
>hey hiro, create a completely useless board that will have less than 100 posters, just because i want it
It doesn't work this way, faggot. Go to 8gag if you want to create your own circlejerk space.
>>391731
What's wrong with smaller boards? Answer to this question, then we can talk.
>>391738
>What's wrong with smaller boards?
Nothing. /gd/ is a small board and it's pretty good. But you want to turn a fucking general into a board, really? You have /v/ or /g/ to discuss it. Hiro said that he will add boards if many people want it. As far as I know, 60/70 people isn't "many people".
We just need a janitor, not a board
>>391731
But we already have /agdg/ for circlejerk faggots anyway.
>making a thread demanding a new board because your ass hurts over general drama
this board never fails to amaze me
>>392019
I know right, it's like he can't discuss anything because the thread is filled with shitposting. Lol what a fag.
Every thread will be for their own game, I don't see why it would be bad if /gd/ thread is too much.
>>392030
But anon that would be bad, then they couldn't shitpost anymore.
>>392044
if anything it would mean more shitposting
>>392067
It would mean less cause it would be spread out.
>>391553
Except it did work right up until Gamergate
>>391560
OH FOR FUCKS SAKES WITH REDDIT!! ENOUGH OF THIS BULLSHIT WITH THEM
anytime a good idea for a new board is brought up its always "B-But I don't want to be like Reddit".
>>392075
Are you retarded? Shit spread across more surface area is not less shit.
>>391753
The mods do their job on agdg. Lately the shitcrew isn't getting their way as often though so they seem to think things are in decline.
>>392095
The less retards like you can gather together they less you will shitpost because there will be less cancerous community for you, it's why shit poster mostly stay in /vg/ instead of /v/ because it's easier to circlejerk and suck your friend off.
>>392098
No.
>>392110
Yes.
>>391648
>ckun
Not rotate but isn't that some nodev avatarfag? If yes asking him where is his game is a valid question.
>>391519
You're allowed to talk about gamedev on /3/ if it's 3d games.
You're allowed to talk about gamedev on /ic/.
You're allowed to talk about gamedev on /v/.
You're allowed to talk about gamedev on /gd/.
You're allowed to talk about gamedev on /g/.
You're allowed to talk about gamedev on /wsr/.
You're allowed to talk about gamedev on /wsg/.
You're allowed to talk about pornographic gamedev on /gif/.
You're allowed to talk about gamedev on /b/.
You're allowed to talk about gamedev on /s4s/.
You're allowed to talk about gamedev about pokemon games on /vp/.
You're allowed to talk about gamedev on /vg/.
You're allowed to talk about music in your gamedev on /mu/.
And finally, 4chan isn't the place to shill your fucking game you're making. Go do that on Tumblr where you might actually make a profit selling your Undertale clone.
i agree agdg is awful but i don't agree agdg needs a board
>>392206
This is retarded. How many anons that are making games will you find on, say, /mu/ or /gd/ or /s4s/ at any given time?
>And finally, 4chan isn't the place to shill your fucking game you're making. Go do that on Tumblr where you might actually make a profit selling your Undertale clone.
>hurr if you're making a game that means you want to shill it!
>hurr if you're making a game that means you're making an Undermeme clone!
Fuck you /v/.
rather than wanting a shitty thread you want a shitty board
bravo nolan baka senpaitachi
>>392708
I said that to illustrate exactly why you shouldn't make gamedev threads on 4chan, not because I agreed with it.
>>391524
>/v/ spinoff board
Except it isn't
>>393675
Whatever you have to tell yourself champ.
>>393689
>making games is the same as playing them
yeah ok
The very fact that Hiro decided to make video games its own category proves he is planning to add more video game centric boards in the future. This is not out of the realm of possibility.
>>393694
AGDG will need to be at least 3-4x more active than it is now to warrant it moving out of /vg/. Right now it's perfectly suited for /vg/. This thread was as pointless as the "ban agdg" thread although that was fun.
>>391519
>Devs keep leaving because that thread is toxic, but if we had an entire board, discussion would be much more distributed and the shitposting would be less concentrated. A lot of devs post in /v/'s gamedev threads but refuse to join /agdg/ for the same reason.
You aren't really this retarded, are you? Every negative you just listed would just be exacerbated 100's of times over if it was given it's own board.
>>391553
So how exactly were "niche retro games" and "generals" supposed to pull from /v/'s primary pool of traffic, again?
