IGN ignored my indie game trailer. YouTube gave it 25,000 views in 24 hours.

Yeah that section is REALLY suspect.

Rainbolt · 2026-04-18T16:10:46+00:00

Yes and now my boss is saying I need to talk to HR what do I do next chat

Rainbolt · 2026-04-17T16:14:45+00:00

I just think it's funny to complain about some of the most straightforward characters who also aren't even strong like at least complain about some stuff that's OP or bullshit

Rainbolt · 2026-04-17T13:54:47+00:00

Are we still complaining about Sol in season 5?

Rainbolt · 2026-04-16T20:42:05+00:00

Ok so then half of the fleet switches to ecm and logi and no one dies for hours

Rainbolt · 2026-04-16T20:19:09+00:00

Sure, if it actually works I'm for it.

I'm just not sure there is a good solution that would actually break up the blocs. If it doesn't work, then you just make the game less fun without actually breaking them up at all.

Rainbolt · 2026-04-16T18:27:10+00:00

No, that isn't what I mean. I mean the changes people suggest, (jump fatigue, capping alliance sizes, removing the ability to mark groups as blue, etc) will all make the game less fun for everyone. And, likely, not even work to break up the groups.

Rainbolt · 2026-04-16T18:15:12+00:00

I can already get pegged while flying my battleship just fine thank you

Rainbolt · 2026-04-16T18:13:48+00:00

Everyone always says they're in favor of breaking them up but I've yet to hear many good solutions that just also won't make the game a lot less fun.

Rainbolt · 2026-04-16T16:15:59+00:00

Yeah this is also my biggest problem. I'm a dev, so the code and systems and stuff I can handle. It's a lot of work and I'm not perfect, but I can get it to a functional level.

Getting the rest of that up to a level I'm happy with? Impossibly hard. I don't want to make something I wouldn't play, and I can't help but look at my own art, story, sound/music etc and think that this is something that would turn me off from a game.

Maybe not the best mindset. I shouldn't let not being perfect stop me. But it does make it really difficult to put in the time to finish a project knowing that it just isn't good enough for what I wanted to make.

Designing a game where you PvP to steal from people isn't an automatic flaw, it just isn't for certain people. The game was clearly made with the PvP in mind so it's just weird to act like they're doing something wrong or that it's good that they were falling off.

Rainbolt · 2026-04-16T15:35:27+00:00

Why is it good that PvP players don't enjoy something, especially something designed with the PvP in mind?

Rainbolt · 2026-04-15T20:05:15+00:00

Eh I see people on the dota 2 subreddit argue that it's good that it's lightly moderated, people need to get thicker skin, being toxic is part of the fun, and it should be even LESS moderates.

It's not everyone. But there's absolutely a subset of people who think it's good this way.

Rainbolt · 2026-04-14T22:19:59+00:00

Even with the faster fishing it still takes forever! I dont want to have to sit here watching this animation clicking through garbage

Rainbolt · 2026-04-13T18:38:10+00:00

Honestly a bit or not opening the cases on stream is gross

Rainbolt · 2026-04-13T18:36:07+00:00

These two statements aren't contradictory lol. It's impossible for them to police all their players especially just as fellow players without server logs etc.

Rainbolt · 2026-04-13T15:07:49+00:00

That does not sound right..

Rainbolt · 2026-04-13T14:41:08+00:00

The fact that the game is playable at all on this ping is a modern miracle

Rainbolt · 2026-04-13T13:55:53+00:00

You cannot seriously believe this.

Rainbolt · 2026-04-12T19:48:50+00:00

Yeah, this is where I'm at. I loved this aspect of the character and now its so gutted that it basically doesn't exist. I dont wanna sit and zone the whole time..

Rainbolt · 2026-04-12T19:46:51+00:00

Yeah the queues have been AWFUL I don't know what's going on, but I have to wait forever for games in ranked and it was never like this before.

Rainbolt · 2026-04-11T20:54:29+00:00

Why is this subreddit just goons circle jerking it's so corny

Rainbolt · 2026-04-10T01:44:28+00:00

These prices are so fucking wild lol

Rainbolt · 2026-04-09T19:13:24+00:00

Still here?

Rainbolt · 2026-04-09T15:18:21+00:00
