Also I don't think anybody ACTUALLY holds their phone horizontally and like fuckin' hunches over it while they're walking like in the Banksys. You hold it up vertical, in front of your face, so you can still see in front of you.

This comic about an Iraq War vet Border Patrol sniper fighting the Mexican cartels looks pretty normal, but I wonder how it plays out considering its creator Richard Meyer is infamous for his Youtube videos about how SJWs are ruining comics. Meyer's racism and sexism have led to his previous crowdfunded comic being boycotted. Here is a pretty comprehensive article about him: https://www.bleedingcool.com/2018/05/13/no-enemy-but-peace-richard-meyer/

Subjunctive posted:That’s normal now, friend. Well one thing is off. All the Mexicans are written with normal-sounding English, not even a "<translated from Spanish>". Maybe that would be too "SJW" or something. Giving away a poster of the character who was almost raped wearing a tiny bikini as a pledge reward is probably standard though.

SO many people think that way. I think its the result of auture theory and capitalism creating these few titans of industry who get all the credit like Kojima. When in reality, every QA tester or artist or programmer has game ideas and NOBODY CARES. Implementation is everything. Ideas are a penny a dozen, and even a thorough design document isn't worth much at all.

I wonder if some of this comes from the days when it really was sometimes a couple guys in a garage making games, or if it is just that the parts that go into making a game are less intuitive (and valued) than other mass media like film. Also, these people usually have very *bad* ideas for games, and I suspect they don't see their ideas in existing games and think it is an untapped market instead of a nonexistent one. A bunch of kickstarters exploited this too, putting forward a prominent name and then asking a comically small amount of cash. That didn't help develop any healthy expectations in players. I do totally support people sitting down and trying to make things though, if only because they might learn some of what goes into a proper game along the way. (actually it is because I enjoy seeing the terrible RPG maker games about angsty anime boys)

MrAptronym posted:I wonder if some of this comes from the days when it really was sometimes a couple guys in a garage making games This reminded me that in the the last five years we do have legitimate examples of one or a small group of people making games that become absurdly popular and a lot of people think a couple ideas, kickstarter, and no real background research or education will solve all their money and/or self esteem issues. One example: Scott Cawthon made games for years prior to FNaF while working mundane jobs and was about at the end of his rope when a combination of hard work, exposure, and sheer luck/coincidence shot the game into the stratosphere (and eventually Funko merch money). While a couple guys in garage can be successful, few people want to acknowledge what it takes to find success, or accept success doesn’t always look like FNaF, Undertale, Slenderman, or even Baldi’s Basics.

It fits the criteria, rip off or not. Make sure to check out Scott Cawthon's games before FNAF - he could crank them out, but they were... Rough. Jim Sterling did a video on one before FNAF came out, and it's fascinating/hilarious to look back at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcvRx0Sx1Hc The unsettling art style done unironically is so bizarre. I have to think someone was honest with him that his graphics were creepy, and he took it to heart and came up with the idea for FNAF. This is why no one should be surprised at the fiasco that was FNAF World. Edit: holy poo poo lol Pilgrim's Progress was him ahahaahahaa Rotten Red Rod has a new favorite as of 19:58 on Jul 13, 2018 |

The thing is, those success stories tend to be the exception rather than the rule. And even then, there's still a whole lot of risk involved. Like, the guys who made Cuphead would have literally been homeless had the game not been a success.

Uh, no Slenderman ain't a game and none of the people who created him and then built up the major lore around it made games using it or got paid. Scott meanwhile was always making games and the fnaf stuff is what took off (and he did a pretty good job keeping clones from directly using his characters too).
