Anyone else feel bad for Sakurai?
This man puts so much into this game. He had significant health issues due to the stress of making the last game, and went in on his birthday this year to make this one happen. He loves for things to be surprises. He even removed the subspace thing from this one due to people uploading cutscenes and not having it be a surprise for people who bought the game to enjoy. He loves this series, and is a fan as much (if not easily more) as anyone on this forum. All he would ask from us is to not spoil his fun, and let the game be a surprise.
And then, the leaks happens.
So here we have Sakurai, who has worked so hard and asked so little, and some ass wipe comes in to have his 10 min of fame and ruin the one thing he asked not to do.

>This man puts so much into this game.
You mean, he REMOVES so much from this game.
>>259787089
I thought the same. The "fun" thing is, that the leaks happened just some weeks before the release so it must really rustle his jimmies.
How did he react when Brawl was leaked?
>>259787209
Have you ever made a game?

first for /V/
blood for the blood god
I've been a game dev almost a decade. Most of that’s in AAA, but recently I've been indie. I don’t know Zoe personally, but I’ve have had professional contact with some minor players in this drama.
Everyone should be aware that game journalists have always promoted their friends. It just wasn’t (historically) as bad in AAA, because there’s a wall of separation between dev and marketing. The PR guy making friends with press doesn’t work on the game, so he has no personal stake. And journalists rarely have direct access to the developers (although twitter is changing this). Obviously, corruption/nepotism exists in AAA, but for the most part it’s a mutually beneficial professional relationship between two businesses facilitated by friendship.
But an indie developer is both the person making the game and doing the marketing. So if he or she is friends with a journalist, it completely ceases to become journalism at that point, and instead becomes a clique friendship thing. Journalists become emotionally invested in the success of their friends’ projects. Plus, the “monetizing celebrity” aspect is a huge factor. Ad revenue, donations, etc.
With this current Zoe Quinn ordeal it doesn’t matter there is a romantic element.
Fact is I’ve known terrible developers who put up their vaporware on Kickstarter and get funded for obscene amounts because they’re best buds with a journalist with 100k+ followers. And that journalist gives them serious promotion which gets them funded. And indeed these projects fail, and it happens all the time.
Meanwhile, other projects put up by talented people don’t get funded, because they aren’t friends with journalists and aren’t celebrities themselves. Journalists are the gatekeepers of what games you know exist, and they have a personal interest that you know certain games exist over others.
And to me, that’s far more offensive than anything Quinn’s accused of.
(continued)
On a personal note, I fell in love with games as teenager in the mid-90s. I was awkward, anti-social, had a lot of emotional issues, etc. Video games were my safe place for me from high school cliques, bullying, and dealing with issues at school and at home.
Bullies are often immune from blowback – that’s why they’re bullies, right? They’re the football star, or the daughter or son of someone important in the community, etc. They’re manipulative liars. They can do whatever they want, and you cannot fight back because the administration sides with them and manufactures the necessary facts to do so.
I ultimately got into game development because I wanted to bring other people that same joy I experienced, and the same safe place I was fortunate to have.
The absolute worst part of this whole thing is that now games are “cool,” suddenly the cool kids are back in charge. And they’re bringing the same circle-jerk groupthink clique mentality to what is rapidly becoming an unsafe place for the awkward misfit teenagers like I was. You have to have the *right* opinion, or be ostracized. You have to be cool and trendy and tweet witty things to your thousands of followers, or nobody gives a shit about you and your project. And if you are twitter-popular, everybody praises your video game “insights” regardless of whether you’ve actually made a game.
I’m never going to be a popular person. I’m happy just having worked out (most of) my issues, and being able to live like a person. But, fact is I have a project and I can’t express my opinion publicly because I will inevitably be harassed by the very people claiming to be the champions of social justice, and they’re immune from any accountability for their words or actions.
Also, journalists HATE getting called on their bullshit, and use the power of their celebrity to punish individuals who do so. Welcome to high school, anons.
I suppose we're all anonymous on this one.

>Also, journalists HATE getting called on their bullshit, and use the power of their celebrity to punish individuals who do so
Great, I guess /v's work is paying off then.
Now get out and make more games, faggot.
It's interesting that the Journalists have such an investment in so many things that don't pay out.
It's me again about Stargate, what kind of games would you like to see of it (if it worked)?
SGU starting after the series finale.
That MMO they gave up on.
>>259704652
FUCK SGU
If there are any stargate games they have to be original series with general jack, and 2 terrible expansions featuring atlantis and the ori.
A sequel to the original movie that retcons everything that isn't the original movie.

But yeah, CoH was legendary. It was a legitimately free. It wasn't pay to "pwn" and everything you bought was either cosmetic or DLC.

Any vidya MC that has had it harder than this guy?
>accelerated aging
>sterile
>was a solider pretty much his whole life
>all his achievements turned out to be playing into the hands of the AI Illuminati or a Russian with a hardon for his genetic father
>own creator is slowly disowning him as Big Boss becomes the true hero and face of the Metal Gear series
At least he had a bro in Otacon and people remember Snake as a hero after MGS4 (too bad Raiden wetting his pants about how cool he thinks Snake was was in MGR isn't canon) until Kojima makes a post-MGS4 Metal Gear where Big Boss is regarded as the best guy ever.
>>259721719
My bro and me are re-playing MGS3 so to speak. But dang when I was a kid, I wish I was Solid motherfucking Snake all the time
I haven't seen one in forever, Advance Wars thread. Fire Emblem a shit.
Who's your favorite CO, /v/? Favorite Force? Why was Days of Ruin made?Green Earth Masterrace
I remember playing the one for the GBA before my brother lost all my games when he was traveling out of state.
Favroite faction was Green but I had a soft spot for that afro girl who was part of the Black group. Always liked to play the samurai dude who troops cost more but damn were they powerful

i love video games too
but honestly working 40 hours a week is not that hard. once i accepted this i got to play my own video games in my own sofa in my own house with my own wife to play video games with
but sometimes you just suck too hard like op and can't be as good as me. seems like you have two options
>>259723840
Already did and got myself into shit. I'm gone 4chan. I love you.
So I would like to propose an idea for 4chan about the game.
I think It would be either RPG or Platformer similar to Mario 64 or Hyperdimension Neptunia.
The Setting is as follows, Vivian James is sucked into the world of VidyaGaemz (or some other name) and she meets characters that have video game tropes in game themed levels (like one level to be Castlevania themed where she meets a vampire slayer) the game can go through multiple genres and have multiple mini games, It would be a good homage to the gaming industry as a whole. and not just the "indie" community.
Of course after the first game the character Vivian James will have more adventures that span genres and mediums (like tv shows)
>>259719127
the game is not for /v/ to make
>>259719127
Aren't people already working on a game?

That sounds like a shit idea
