Do you design games all day and play games after work?
When do you have time for Frla to spoon you? -

It does seem to be against the spirit of the game but honestly I’m ok with it. As mentioned previously, I have a couple hundred hours in SC1 and I think I triggered one disaster. I’m more ok with getting jedied on dlc if the core of the game is meaningfully complete without it.

I don’t do game dev professionally. I enjoy having money and weekends. -

2023-12-21 at 2:39 AM UTCCities skyline 2 would of been nice during covid but you people really should learn to play the guitar or buy an old car to wrench on. I can't because of the strict rules for co-op but I bought an electric bass and it's sitting in the room collecting dust.
I was going to learn to code but im so far behind in that game and AI will just replace any chance of making money at it now. -

There's tens-to-hundreds of thousands of dollars to be made in a decent, simple game - the kind that require a <100 hour time investment to create. The products of game jams have gone on to be proven commercially viable enough times at this point that there's really no excuse for someone with your talents not to be shitting out the odd quick project. -

Oh I dink around making games from time to time. Like most people, 90% of them are shitty demos where I gave up on it after implementing a core concept but not wanting to invest the (much larger amount of) work in making it something that might actually be fun to play. Every now and then one makes it out to a "public" release where it can languish in obscurity on github. Not that I mind, again, no desire for it to be a commercial activity.
The odds of a gamejam game ending up being commercially successful is vanishing. And 100 hours is hardly cheap, 2.5 working weeks of average joe $120k/y dev is what, $7k? I mean that's not an earth shattering sum, but it's not trivial either. And if you account for art, music, release logistics, and somehow getting people to know about your thing I'm not sure anything that makes a profit is happening in 100 hours.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

You're no fun. Don't math at me, numbers are scary and I'm trying to live vicariously through your aptitude with them because I'm decidedly talentless. -

if its that easy for simple games. -

Why don't you crack open photoshop or whatever the kids are using these days and help a brother out with some artwork then? I have this factory idle game I'm currently pretending like I'm going to finish and I'm ripping off factorio sprites right now because I'm artistically inept. -
