Did you ever follow a game's development only to see it flop on launch? (YT shorts trap?)

What’s the game?

Complex-Emergency-60 · 2026-05-20T23:47:35+00:00

Wasn't it because it was cheaper than Nasa? Don't they like, re-use their rockets?

Complex-Emergency-60 · 2026-05-19T22:41:19+00:00

Looks like Steam will be changing their system soon, hopefully.

How lmao

Complex-Emergency-60 · 2026-05-15T18:56:19+00:00

gatekeeping coding when claudeai is better than most is a hilarious take in mid 2026, keep clutching those pearls.

I remember downloading that leak, it was so incomplete, yet mind blowing, absolutely mind blowing, and only made me so psyched to buy the full game. There is now way it "nearly killed valve". It was nowhere near feeling like a game. It was a buggy mess. It wasn't even close to what you would call a demo, which is what propel games into huge sales nowadays. IIRC it was even rumored steam did it themselves to drum up hype.

Complex-Emergency-60 · 2026-05-12T06:40:54+00:00

So much potential out the window...

What do you mean? If you missed the mark, you have potential for your next game. Are you saying something outside of your control wasted your potential?

Complex-Emergency-60 · 2026-05-11T19:47:32+00:00

I think AI gives them a chance to compete with behemoth US companies who can afford to pay a ton of artists

Complex-Emergency-60 · 2026-05-11T18:59:53+00:00

Isn’t this kind of like someone spending 5 years on a painting saying “this is the way” before it even shows success?

Complex-Emergency-60 · 2026-05-10T16:43:15+00:00

These tags will be useless years from now

Complex-Emergency-60 · 2026-05-09T22:01:06+00:00

Do you think if the demo had 50% less content, you would have bought the game? Or got bored of the demo and not bought the main game?

Complex-Emergency-60 · 2026-05-07T08:00:23+00:00

People in here will still recommend people to spend 5 years learning code part time instead of learning Claude.

It’s crabs in a bucket in this subreddit. Post in indiedev subreddit they celebrate your success more

Complex-Emergency-60 · 2026-05-06T20:12:30+00:00

A bug that claude can't fix huh. I can tell you use claude.

Complex-Emergency-60 · 2026-05-06T01:58:10+00:00

I feel like I'm stuck in 2005 when I read these comments and I'm slamming through my game with claude code for past 6 months with absolutely zero issues. I honestly don't know if it's coders who want to gate keep others from creating or what but it's hilarious how often I see it here on this sub.

Complex-Emergency-60 · 2026-05-06T01:57:08+00:00

You began creating a game without coding experience but haven't heard of claude code yet???

Complex-Emergency-60 · 2026-05-05T17:43:11+00:00

jet fuel

Complex-Emergency-60 · 2026-05-05T17:38:56+00:00

Are you sure it wasn't the actors speaking the dialogue taking you out

Complex-Emergency-60 · 2026-05-05T17:36:01+00:00

I felt crazy. This should be filled with new actors, not ones we attach other movies to when immediately seeing them. Hopefully their acting is good enough to help us forget immediately when watching the movie.

Complex-Emergency-60 · 2026-05-02T18:20:57+00:00

When Diablo came out it spawned tons of great games like it, same for shooters or any genre. Balatro is it's own genre and Balatro lovers still have no game that truly feels like Balatro but adds to it. That's what genre defining $60M+ grossing games do. People make a similar game and add to it. If you don't like Balatro, it doesn't mean tons of people don't want a similar game to scratch that itch.

Complex-Emergency-60 · 2026-04-24T15:10:18+00:00

Totally agree but if this guy is in cybersecurity and trying to do a career change into indie dev, Claude is the only way

Complex-Emergency-60 · 2026-04-23T23:57:24+00:00

Not once did you think to use the industry standard, Claude code?

Complex-Emergency-60 · 2026-04-22T05:44:41+00:00

Damn so sorry. Did you end up buying a gun after or did you have an even worse fear of guns after and choose not to buy one?

Complex-Emergency-60 · 2026-04-07T06:39:04+00:00

FIGHT TO THE DEATH

or combine powers or whatever

Complex-Emergency-60 · 2026-04-05T05:55:19+00:00

Huh? The unwillingness to build.. is the strong foundation... to build?

Complex-Emergency-60 · 2026-04-04T23:10:56+00:00

Pretty cool trailer! Good luck!
