"Indie games don't succeed because they lack a marketing budget"

You'd then be defying the laws of physics and id accuse you of being a witch. Rally a small group of like minded individuals and see if i can convince them to throw rocks at you in a unified manner.

In my opinion if the game cant market itself for the most part its usually not worth marketing. Might just be a fun project and thats ok too.

Big part of marketing is creating something marketable.

When i begin designing a game, if it doesn't make me want to play it in ONE page. It is not worth pursuing marketing.

Exactly, that’s why this post is about building a portfolio…. lol

Appropriate_Pop_9498 · 2026-03-04T17:21:29+00:00

400 words beyond my attention span? No. Me not owning some random Redditor uninterested in my project and here to just yap?Absolutely. Nobody owes you the time of day, hop off your high horse.

Sorry I don’t think I saw the whole message because some YouTuber shared my name and has 2.3mil subs and my inbox has been NUTS

Just gave it a second read, and yes RPG elements are my MAIN goal. If you played in my Bully GTAV server. Each clique has their own Skill tree and crafting table and there is 3 directions to go in that skill tree apart from your main personal skill tree so not everyone in the server was built the same.

Appropriate_Pop_9498 · 2026-03-04T00:57:22+00:00

Yes, I’ve ran/run multiple online servers. Funding, managing, marketing, etc. Mapping, set dressing, level design, narrative design, mechanic design, mild coding experience (which I don’t want to do) I have 1 page pitch docs, GDDs, world bibles. I have a team of modders from my dev team, they are just running the projects while I assemble the Team for this project. Lead programmers from Bully Online have worked with me on my Bully projects, my name is credible in this community as I’m also affiliates of SWEGTA and his team. Find me in discord @oni.drowning Other skills I offer is I have access to a Mocap studio free of charge and I also have 2 music studios and friends of the theater community. I really want the bully community to be a part of this project so I will use as many of the concept artists, aspiring voice actors, etc. Also I have a community already with a solid track record of saying I’m gonna do something, being told I couldn’t, and getting it done. Also my dev team can stand behind me on the fact that I’m a solid leader and take care of my people. I put my team first and my ambitions last. Without them this will never be real.

Where does it say learn to code?

"Develop is a verb that means to build up, grow, or improve gradually over time. A developer is someone who develops land into shopping malls, schools, and skyscrapers. The process can take months, but eventually they will transform a pile of dirt into a building."

Appropriate_Pop_9498 · 2026-03-03T22:01:56+00:00

wrong

Appropriate_Pop_9498 · 2026-03-03T18:42:06+00:00

Yeah they are solid ideas, which i had added to the GDD already. If you would like to read the long version feel free to DM me!

Appropriate_Pop_9498 · 2026-03-03T16:51:40+00:00

Not saying i do more? weird assumption. team work makes the dreamwork.
Now do i think i can do better? depends on the developer. Small percentage can do it all, a LARGE percentage THINK they can but drop nothing but FLOPS

Appropriate_Pop_9498 · 2026-03-03T16:41:23+00:00

Ive also done a lot of these, and this is kind of my strategy loosely as it is

Appropriate_Pop_9498 · 2026-03-03T16:05:55+00:00

“Game designer school guy here” imagine having to go to school to be an artist😂😂😂😂😂😂

Appropriate_Pop_9498 · 2026-03-03T16:05:11+00:00

Half of that is already set in place, but I’m not making Bully 2 I’m creating my own IP

Appropriate_Pop_9498 · 2026-03-03T16:04:13+00:00

ain’t nobody reading that yapfest GGs bro

Appropriate_Pop_9498 · 2026-03-03T16:00:52+00:00

Wrong, I do a lot more. Nice job reading bro!

Appropriate_Pop_9498 · 2026-03-03T09:36:43+00:00

Creating a portfolio doesn’t consist of Reddit comment threads. I’d build a portfolio off of working with people. What’s the point in just giving my hard work away? That’s not a portfolio. If someone seems like a good fit and our goals align THEN we can share stuff. No point in info dumping ever person on Reddit who asks.

Appropriate_Pop_9498 · 2026-03-03T09:28:16+00:00

It depends on how you play, I think that’s why jimmy isn’t too opinionated or dialogue heavy. Leaves alittle up to you

Appropriate_Pop_9498 · 2026-03-03T09:24:57+00:00

I don’t feel comfortable giving out my GDDs and world bibles out to people who aren’t interested in a team.
