you a game developer? - and game development in general, i guess

[Deadwaste]

want sure if this would make more sense here or in the IT board, but this does relate to games or at least the process of making them, so i guess its okay to post it here.

but yeah, do you do game developing, be it indie or AAA? shitty mobile games or loot crate ridden multiplayer games?

I made a shitty forgettable flash game when I was 12. So ask away

No I’m not a pedophile

No I’m not a pedophile

that only makes you guiltier

 

[Mazinkaiser]

Game Dev? You mean GAY dev lol

 

[AmpleApricots]

Yes, I'll take a coffee, black, no sugar.

 

[CakeCutey]

Coding is a bitch to do. The end.

No I’m not a pedophile

Sounds likes something a pedo would say.

Best thing I ever made in my time in "game development" was a script to get a badge on Roblox, and some SFOTH clone, haven't done much else due to game dev being absolute pain to do on your own.

 

[Overcast]

I made a shitty game on RPG Maker years back.

Had dildos, depressed clowns, Twisted Sister, an evil Yuna cosplayer, and Yotsuba for some reason.

I want to make a game some day, but that's it.
The majority of people I've met who call themselves "game devs" are idea guys.
They don't want to do any of the work on their idea (which they won't shut up about) and when others do offer to help they nitpick the fuck out of it and eventually call them idiots for not realizing their "vision".

there’s a lot of attention being made into getting Game Design college degrees these days

 

[UtadaWasabi2]

I used to dream about making game until I actually make one.

Look into their actual curriculum. Most of these (at least that I know about) aren't very much concerned about coding - they're outright Humanities, focusing on storytelling and such. Not that there's anything wrong with that, it's just that it might be easily hijacked into creating narratives of a certain kind...

FWIW, I mostly despise "modern" gamedev practices (and programming practices in general).

Can't they just take out a loan and set their money on fire instead? It's much faster.

 

[Considered HARMful]

Sorry for spamposting, didn't notice that one before

What do you mean: did you actually make a game or remained dreaming only? I can offer some semi-pro, semi-amateurish help if you'd like.

And look at how pozzed the game industry is, multiply that with the poz from non-STEM higher education then season liberally with idpol, diversity hiring and intersectionality. That's my impression at least from looking at the people in charge of teaching. The students aren't much better either, they have no prior experience even on a rudimentary modding level. That's like being accepted to Berklee without ever having touched an instrument.

There's always going to be some students that are driven, talented and ultimately successful, if that's because or despite gamedev college I can't say for sure but I lean towards "despite".

I made a game in RPG Maker that I hope was lost when my harddrive died when I was 12.

Definitely one of my top 5 most shameful things

I have this gamechanging idea, but i dont want to share it with publicly because it's that good. I have no programming experience and I am not an artist but i can be a creative director, so I am looking for programmers, artists, musicians, scripters and testers. I am also broke so I can only pay with exposure when my great idea will be realized.

Do you have a Patreon I can donate to?

wait I'm unsure, is this thread going the ironic or unironic path?
