Oh no, not the 2d retro pixel garbage

what

NOOOOOOO NOT THE INDIE DEVERINOS

How the fuck can they fail so hard?
There's little to no competition from the big boys and they all work from home.
Fuck'em, let them die if they really are that retarded.

Stop being delusional wattpadfag

shit now where am i gonna get my 2d metroidvania roguelite with rpg elements

Good we can finally purge this garbage

how the fuck would corona affect someone who already works at home
just fucking work on your game instead of going out for onions lattes

has there been an indie game that deserved success that didn't get it?

Based and viruspilled, let them burn along with journo sites

post something you wrote, I’m interested

They just want attention. Most indie devs are tumblr hipster faggots who think they are creating art.

people are stuck at home not just because they work from home but an ass ton of them are unemployed and they aren't going to spend what little cash money they have on "The Secret of the Mystery" by Charla Pansex

>Oh no, not the 2d retro pixel garbage
Post some post-2010 pixel games that look actually good then

Is that a real game? It sounds like P&C game. Is it good?

None.

Faggot

Shouldn't the Rona give indie devs more time for their games? They are not like big studios that have huge teams that require working at an office.

Is that the one where you play Drumpf?

I never want to play anything "indie" "pixel"shit ever again in my life

March was my best month since I started my Patreon page 3 years ago for my erotic dating sims.

gay.

they should. budgets are precious, nobody is willing to spend money on a game made literally by who with custom pronouns just to see if it's worth or not
indie developers should, you know, think of a different economic model than triple AAA titles.

REMINDER THAT GAME JOURNALISTS =/= THE INDIE "INDUSTRY, they don't speak for every developer out there.

Good, fuck those indie dev assholes.

No, why would it? Being an indie dev just means you’re not paid to make a game, you earn money by selling a product. So now they’re doing the exact same thing they were doing anyway, except it’s growing more likely that no one will buy their game when it’s out because of the economy.
Being an indie doesn’t mean you’re making a game in your free time while working a regular job.

This, if it doesn't have a 100 million marketing budget at least, it's not worth playing.

The coronavirus pandemic is putting EVERYBODY in a tough spot, this article is fucking stupid.

You would have money if you didn't spend it on 3d women.

Nah man. These days you can put a book on Amazon, put a price on it, and sell it to niche audiences. And do pretty well too.

Sure, you guys are my audience.

Don't you feel bad for indies in particular? I mean they've gone out of their way to say how much they hate you in the past, but they don't have your money right now and they can't tweet from starbucks so you should feel really bad.

Yes but indie devs on a even TOUGHER spot. Poor indie devs always had it harder than everyone.

Oh no! What on earth will we do without more platform hells done in ultra pixel art. I guess we will have to bite the bullet and play normal games.

Neat.

>indie devs are scared because less people working due to the wuhan flu means less disposable income and less people able to buy games
>fucking indie devs dont they work from home?
The "just make good games" arguement is legitimate but these devs are afraid that with half a million and more out of work they have half a million less people to sell games to. This of course isnt a problem if they just make good games.

How? Most really small Indie devs are working out of their house anyways, and the pandemic has been a boon to digital sales with people stuck inside. If you're not taking advantage of this as a dev/publisher you're fucking retarded.

Western indie developers are pretty good at whining, Jesus fucking Christ. Nips've making games in RPG Maker 2000 after paying the license with cup noodles and don't act like crybabies

Why the fuck does the main character have a different outline color from everyone else and why is the fish the only one with any shading?

OH SHIT ARE YOU TELLING ME THE WOMEN STUDIES GRADUATE CAN'T CODE AND THERE ARE NO ASSES LEFT TO BE KISSED SO THAT SOMEONE ELSE WILL PRETEND THEY CAN CODE? OH SHIT OH NO, WOE US, THE INDUSTRY IS DOOOOOOOOOMED I TELL YOU DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED
lmao eat shit

>The coronavirus pandemic is putting indie developers in an even tougher spot
This sounds absolutely incorrect. For one thing indie developers don't have huge office environments and tons of developers and already do more work from home anyway.
And the quarantine has been a fucking boon for digital entertainment. Release an interesting indie game during the height of the quarantine and it'll sell way better than it would have done outside of the quarantine.

A market crashing doesn't mean it crashes equally. Some sectors are always the victors than run away with the spoils.

So does this mean that the steam store will only flood half as much indie garbage in the future? I mean there's like 70574 indie shit games coming out each day and the majority of them are worse than Flash tier games but with a price on them.

Today the Order of the Dragon follows in this tradition, training Knights from all over the world to fight in order to protect humanity.
Ok, that might-
>Her adventures lead her to America,
You lost me
>where she discovers a young man with the power to transform parts of his body into that of a Dragon. Ok, you have me again
>$11.99
Nope, you lost me

Pretty sure there are so many of them on steam right now you could play them for the rest of your life and not even finish them all.

>st*am

incel neet detected, get a job and a life and you'd realise.

Who have it worse? African aids babies or indie developers?

>make niche game
>complain that its not popular
>it was supposed to be main source of income
hmmmm......

>oppression olympics

this. not that I don't think it should be easier for working class people to make games, but if you're relying on selling a videogame to be able to put food on your table you're pretty retarded desu.

How do you market your stuff? I wanted to try my hand at some writing but I'm terrified of actually trying to sell anything.

Youtube videos, twitter, shilling on Yas Forums. I'm thinking of setting up an author website and mailing list too.

The Trump Epidemic will hardly affect the industry's revenue.

>pc shrinking

>VR growing
Is VR the future lads?

Cool, I'm going to try my best to make it too, user

This, unironically. In fact, video game revenue is actually going up as people have more free time to waste in isolation.

NOOOOOO not the faggot devs

Growth is the only reason why investors and publishers are doing any of the VR stuff.

The question is: When will the growth stop?
Will VR establish itself as true competition to classic forms or will it stop early and simply form a niche. Nobody knows yet so there is no reason to stop throwing money at it in hope to make bank.

Good luck making games when you don't have a place to live. What are you a dumb faggot?

Corona vírus is affecting 90% of the entire planet so I don't know why this is news.

Also, stay safe Anons. Wash your damn hands and go play some vidya.
