When phrased as “the market right now has room for 6000~ish games that pull in money. Can I make it into that 6000?” success in game dev feels plausible at our scale
for AA devs these numbers look dire / worthless, and AAA’s live in a completely different world. They have their own stats
I felt similar asymmetry to the general reaction to these stats
Valve not releasing a more detailed breakdown makes it difficult to come away with almost any conclusion. But from the perspective of microdevs like you and I, these numbers aren’t offensive
I’m not sure I even agree with the premise that the FGC wants to be mainstream.
excruciating
I would really like to see this statistic broken down by studio scale. I want to know, of those 5863 games, how many were made by
- AAA Developers
- AA Developers
- Indies
- Micro Studios
This would grant a LOT of perspective on the feasibility of proposed changes to Valve's business model
I love that floor texture and those sunbeams, really strong vibe here I agree
Not a single day goes by that I'm not driven to the brink of howling madness by:
A: Videogames being at their most diverse, creative and overwhelmingly numerous as ever.
B: The gaming press being utterly gutted by vulture capitalists, leaving fewer people than ever to try and understand it all.
ur a menace
Extra Stage Sister of Scarlet If it was able to do, I would like you to challenge. Gods Knows...
I'm sorry ZUN there's no fuckin way I can do that shit
i drew my new enemy as a cute girl also
I don't like that the pinned post for YANCY on the other account still uses the old art I did! I updated it and made it nicer but the older one where Yancy looks like a munchkin is still cached
Sure you all agree now, but you’d better not scurry when “weirder” means speaking in poems and asking uncomfortable questions
I think I need to get weirder
found out yesterday the kitchen girl who takes over my station when im on break has been making every chai dirty
Remilia Scarlet is actually an awesome boss fight wtf
15 year old shmup failure olive was missing out
great video, important story, big recommendation
Gunpoint is so good
I still use the Hammerhead Snark frequently
so much of the game modding experience is trying to figure out the hidden thread, the secret logic, behind vanilla art assets (so you can make yours match) only to gradually realize that everything was inconsistent, sloppy, done by their own two hands. because they had deadlines (and you dont)
yeah if your goal is to filter out these situations a built in time limit is probably ideal lol
admittedly I don't think my approach is something I'd recommend to almost anybody
When I ran my booth, I didn't use a built in time limit, because I found that longer play sessions were more valuable for my game than short ones. If someone wanted to sit down for over ten minutes, that's a big win for me, because so many folks are repelled by my very niche game lol
The biggest revelation of replaying pokemon FRLG is that there is an actual storyline where blue had such a good time hanging out with the french staff of the s.s. anne that he gained a new catchphrase and would go on to study abroad in kalos

aw yeah. panpsychism time
Really captivated by Touhou 6 in a way I haven’t been since I first played it as a teenager. The bullet patterns are so mesmerizing, there’s so much gorgeous video game culture present here
going from The Talos Principle to Hyper Demon to Eversion to Touhou 6 has been reminding me why I love video games
to be honest I really don’t like repost based social media in general. I yearn for a return to the personal webpage
Bluesky was the first one that sank its hooks in me. We’ll see if I wind up regretting this later / soon
