I'm going to make a video game. It'll be mildly successful and I'll have a little money and I won't be a broke NEET anymore.
Do you believe in me, anon?
>>24932143
We got similar goals anon, good luck.
i believe in you, faggot
just dont make a shit meme game like blunderfail
Making games is literally a lottery, only the prize is very low. You're actually better off with scratchers
>>24932143
Do it anon-kun
I believe in yooouu!
I want to make an app and become mildly successful.

You know in Canada theres this thing, I don't remember what it's called but it's a portion of the government that helps produce entertainment.
Basically they give you money. A game developer came to my robotics class talking about how he had done many high level jobs and quit to make his own game companie for for the low price of 30 dollars.
The first thing he did was ask them for 600,000$. This covered all his expenses rent, paying collage students the price of noodles, outsourcing for audio design, eating, and everything that may or may not have to do with the game.
You don't even need a prototype just ask for a sum if money 0 to a few million. The catch is that they receive 50% of the profit for the first two years.

Can I join you? My life is also in the gutter and there's no hope for a future for me. I have mild programming knowledge and mild drawing abilities. I tried making a comic for r9k once but it failed. I just want to try a few more times before I end myself.
>>24932143
Why not, I'll bite
Did you make that? It's awful desu
>>24932143
HOW do you make the game?
I'm getting better at blender to be able to work on a videogame myself
if you need ideas let us help and contribute
what type of game is it, what is the setting etc give us all the detail you have in your head right now
it doesn't matter if you think it sounds autistic, if it really is bad we will improve it
>>24932143
I wish you all the luck, but i don't believe you.
I used to be this delusional until i found out i that i had some awesome ideas just no skills to implement them.
Good luck learning Programming, Drawing, Animation, 3D modelling, Texturing, Sound Engineering, Level design, Writing and slave-work ethic if you actually ever want to complete something. See you in a few years once you release your 2d platformer.

You got it, buddy.

I'm your reverse, and it's a unique kind of hell.
> guru-level programmer
> understand everything 3d
> pretty good at texturing
> okay at modeling
> good at writing
> willpower of steel
> finished several small-ish games, in many genres and many types of graphics
> out of your list I just can't draw
The highlight: I'm fucking unable to have ideas. I'm the reverse ideaguy. No matter what I do, I just can't have ideas.
I also refuse to clone existing games. I'm doomed to making random software and short compo games.

Literally all you have to do is sacrifice your morals and your problems will be solved. Just make Space Invaders with rage faces falling instead of aliens and advertise it on reddit/9gag and you'll be set for life.

You don't think I've considered it? If I was willing to sell my soul, there'd be over 9000 easier ways than games, which really are lottery.

May the flames guide thee

This may be my one hinderance
I'm not very good with the artys time consuming things.
I had a friend in animation and asked if he would like to collaborate on a game. I do the programming and you make the characters. He bailed. I've looked into a lot of 2d stuff as well, which requires much less animation.
>>24937072
I'm mid-level at programming, I have no problems with ideas. How do I into Guru-level programming?
>>24938038
Maybe I should clarify
mid level as I know everything you mentioned and how to implement it, i'm just not good enough at it for it to be worth my time (putting so much in to get little pay for my program)
>>24937072
Build a team?
Same plan here, I'm fucking done with school
>>24932143
good indie and ill buy 2 copies
