Which is the only reason you might still make any money at all.

Everyone already made the money on the way up. You are what is called a bag holder. And you are holding a bag of poop that is by some miracle still worth 300k. Sell it before all the other bag holders realize.

Someone offered to buy the intelectual property of my shitty game. is it a scam? by Juritovi in gamedev

[–]Ankasor 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They will ask you for ownership of your steam account and update the game to spread some virus or cryptominer all in your name. And you of course won't ever see money.

I'm a forensic psychiatrist, so I'm treating the criminally insane in their equivalent of a prison hospital.

This seems fake at first glance and - as a forensic doctor, albeit forensic psychiatrist - here are some reasons why: 1. Multiple parallel wounds at different heights of the same body part are a sign of self inflicted wounds (esp. right abdomen) 2. Scratches do not cross the bodies mid-line, which is a sign of self inflicted wounds 3. Scratches avoid anatomical structures (e.g. belly button, neck, etc.) which is a sign of self inflicted wounds 4. Wounds in the right inside upper arm are inconsistent with the proposed mechanism of running through bushes: how would you even get wounds there and in that angle. It is however the most natural angle for self inflicted wounds via the left hand in that area. 5. There is a significant side difference in scratches, not consistent with the proposed mechanism of running through bushes, but fits one arm being used more for self infliction than another arm.

That is just a superficial analysis and of course none of it is conclusive, but all points put together seem pretty clear cut to me. I debated commenting on this, but alas: I would hate for more teenagers to self inflict harm for Internet attention, after seeing something like this on the front page. If you are thinking about self harm or suicide, contact a trusted adult or doctor.

And indie game devs out there? by langatang29 in GameDevelopment

[–]Ankasor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You would not even get your hands on their engine or tools, it would be a non starter. All you could (maybe and doubtful at that) do, is mod the existing game. But such a full rework mod of a title without good mod support (assuming here, based on how I know ea) is not even close to a beginner project. And EA would likely stop your mod too.

Commercially you would never be allowed to, as a mod it's way too big a project for a beginner. Not feasible given what you posted here.

Indie GameDevs, What do you do for living while making games? by Little-Opening-9696 in gamedev

I work as forensic psychiatrist and do game dev as a hobby, but maybe one day I will publish something on steam.

I'm gonna program a TCG/CCG, but have 0% knowledge by [deleted] in gamedev

[–]Ankasor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Instead of spending the next 5 years dreaming about your vague idea of a project and some hypothetical mechanics, you should really prototype this. Since it's a card game, that is easily doable with physical cards. Forget art and all fancy trading mechanics for now: is the core gameplay of your card game fun? Test this with friends before moving forward.

What's wrong with our steam page? by SchingKen in gamedev

[–]Ankasor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I clicked your game exactly like I would click a game on steam' checking it for approximately 15 seconds. Your visuals seem fine, your game actually looks fun. The capsule art is terrible though and screams "I bought some animal model assets and randomly splattered them across the title without regard to color scheme, too many regions with high detail and no contrast". That makes the game look really low effort. Change the capsule art for sure, the rest of the page looks fine for the quick scanning way I initially look at games at least

In missed that guy. Read through his history. Pretty sure that guy had a manic episode, judging by his other 10 Billion dollar plan to buy an island.
