I think that game failed at some point. Internal drama about the lead being lovely, stretching out the project through laziness and farming money, which had an artist pull all artwork and walk out. To be clear I meant Breeding Season. Kokoro Wish fucked around with this message at 01:05 on Sep 23, 2017 |

There's also corruption of champions, but that catered to the furry crowd which is apparently the biggest source of internet money possible.

Furries have terrible decision making faculties, impulse control, and tend to obsess. They're a fountain of cash.

aniviron posted:That's what I've said from the start, and obviously that guy realizes it but isn't admitting it to himself: Modding is not and should not be a job. If you want a job making video games, then... that job already exists, in many forms. Go join a studio or start your own indie outfit. If you want to be paid to make video games, that is how you do that. The whole point of modding is that it's a labor of love, something you do because you don't want the process to be a job. With Steam and all the middleware available these days, has it honestly ever been simpler to become a game developer?

Agents are GO! posted:With Steam and all the middleware available these days, has it honestly ever been simpler to become a game developer? You could probably make an argument it was simpler in the 80s after the arcade/console market crashed and a lot of the scene was one-person or small teams making games for 8-bit home computers. Games were obviously much less complicated then, and the harder part was distribution or marketing. Now games are more complicated but there are a lot more resources and frameworks to build on, and distribution and marketing are cheaper/easier than ever. The barrier now is just the pure saturation of garbage, it's harder to get noticed unless you pass a barrier of quality that is probably higher than it should be, but was constructed because the deluge of crap is not worth wading through.

It's the same principle that leads to that cottage industry of journalistm dedicated to scaremongering about how peoples' sexualities are being hosed up by the internet, all the data is skewed heavily by the fact that normal people aren't punching "BIG BREAST" into google.

Nah that's bull though. Actually making a good game was still quite difficult, you just had some regions of the world where you could earn a few thousand bucks getting your terrible broken game shoved on cassette tapes for idiot kids to pay way too much for. And there was so so much garbage that people just pretended it was actually just Real Game Difficulty and it was super difficult to find good games because a) reviewer stockholm syndrome that bad games were actually real good b) reviewers being straight up paid off and c) even if you had access to real reviews and stuff, you'd probably not have access to the good games because cassette distro issues were crazy. Basically like the European home computer scene was the equivalent of all the spam partially working games that get poo poo onto Steam every hour.

As an American that whole microcomputer fad was a total blind spot for me but Ashens did a presentation on terrible games of that era that does a great job illustrating was a wasteland it could be. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Shmi76Pax8 He also did a companion video about the hidden treasure puzzlebook phenomena Masquerade and its PC game successor Hareraiser which is also quite good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouvi-fwrfIY

You'll note I didn't say "successful game developer." poo poo, I have two game development softwares on my system right now, and two of my favorite games were made in GameMaker (Undertale and Nuclear Throne.)

Oh yeah I've been a huge fan of the lead artist since way back and got to watch this explode in realtime on Tumblr. Old game was Monster Rancher but with sex, he's been putting together another game with the assets he walked out with which seems like Fire Emblem? but with sex? It seems like a weird thing to waste your talent on but I guess I can't argue with their patreon takings. They are making bank

Why do furries always have so much loving money to throw around? If pretending to be a dog trapped in a human body would net me the same kind of disposable income then sign me the gently caress up

Furries are also a fairly unique case in that they have fursonas so there's a constant demand for new artwork from them. NYMag did an article about how furries are such a boon to independent artists awhile ago which is a pretty interesting read. quote:writer and self-described furry community historian Colin Spacetwinks Guy Mann fucked around with this message at 18:05 on Sep 23, 2017 |

Lunethex posted:If you can't find exactly what you want without paying for it I don't think you're looking hard enough. You are seriously underestimating either or both of the eccentricity of some peoples' tastes, and the sheer voraciousness with which some people consume content. I mean, there's a reason there's that old definition of economics as 'satisfying unlimited desires with limited resources'. A lot of people, once they find that exact thing that they want, then want a hell of a lot more of it History Comes Inside! posted:Why do furries always have so much loving money to throw around? Oh there's PLENTY of broke furries. You hear about the rich ones because it's so uniquely visible; people who own millions of dollars in old cars doesn't seem that weird, even though from a strictly economic, rational point of view that's still incredibly loving excessive. When you add in the weirdness of 'here have this highly visible stream of thousands of dollars in weird fetish commissions each month', it unsurprisingly becomes kind of infamous. Furries also seem to be kind of bad with money in general, probably because it's a weird sub-culture that sort of encourages you to be, and I'm going to go out on a limb and say the average person is probably bad with money already before getting tangled up in a weird subculture where status is tied to how large a pile of fetish art you can accrue. To bring this whole sordid aside back around to where it started, I have no objection to people being paid for doing mod work, but with the wealth of resources available for game creation it seems more sensible to just make your own game these days. The surprising number of weird dating games/interactive fictions/incredibly disturbing rpgs pulling in five figures a month seems to reinforce the point.

I came across a post by a furry who apparently lived out of long-term rental hotel rooms or something. He was out of money, needed help to keep himself from being kicked out, not an unusual story... until someone turned it into an intervention. This second person revealed that Mr. Brokeass was broke because he is constantly commissioning art of his character(s). People have given him money in the past, and it's gone straight to eBay or Furbid, and basically all that he owns are a few changes of clothes and half a dozen suitcases packed to the gills with the art that he'd bought over the years.

This is the game that ended it, right around the time that  that we were given the option to eat our choice of body part from a dead toddler  . Which is actually a shame, because some of the stuff that wasn't porn was actually pretty interesting. Like, I wish that those people would make a game that wasn't horrifying porn.

In the overlapping center of the venn diagram of people who are dedicated enough to make an X-COM total conversion and yet lacking in restraint to the point where the whole thing is full of cartoon porn and sexy lady pirates, you get X-Piratez.
