    man, i think what discourages me the most into making a full indie game, is that i know that when i release it, only a few people will play it, and my game will feel like a failure. no matter how much time i spent on my game, in the end, its very likely nobody will ever give attention to it. and i dont even know any advertisement tricks either, and this happens not only for games, but for any sort of original content that i make.
    you know, for me, the most rewarding thing about making games is actually seeing people enjoying your work. i dont care about money, i dont mind making my game free and open source, as long as i see people enjoying my game, and that is my life dream that i have no idea how to achieve. do you have any tips? idk if you will even read this comment, but i feel like this is an opportunity to talk about this situation ive been struggling.

      keeping putting it out there and change if it doesn't get the result you want, stick to what gives better results and keep trying, statistically, most will fail

    • @donr123
      @donr123 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I would recommend building a game without the idea of it being a succes. If the first game that you make fails, you learn from that and try again. There is always a possibility that you fail, but I think that you can learn and improve a lot more on failing than on succeeding.
      Imagine this, you make your first game and it’s a giant succes. After that, you will always compare your game to that first big succes, likely not innovating anymore. You will hang on to your first product too much, hampering your progress in the end.
      Failure is only the end if you let it be the end.

    The movement is highly reminiscent of games I've played like AOTTG and others. I was just thinking about how much I wanted to make a game with genuine physics based grapples. Glad to see someone else had the same idea!

    • @splizzex
      @splizzex 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I was gonna say this looks very similar to AOTTG or at least the movement does. I played the shit out of that fan game. I still think it is the best implementation of the ODMG in a video game and no other official or fan games comes even close.

    Game looks amazing but i find it interesting that this has reversed the typical dynamic for indiegames. Usually the playerbase watches the content and then a fraction of it plays the game, but this game has this dynamic reversed. Far more play the game than watch the creator. Reminds me of a book i read about businesses where it states that the goal is not to pool all your profits into marketing, but rather focus on making a good product so your customers promote it. Interesting to see it play out before my eyes
