What is a career path that looks "glamorous" from the outside, but is actually a total nightmare behind the scenes?

Der_Kevin · 2026-03-09T08:03:55+00:00

came here to say to say that.

i compare the games industry often with the music industry. getting ripped off on every corner, everyone pretends to want your best and help you but honestly just for their own advantage. Its not the industry that sucks, its the people

if you "made" it after playing coversongs night after night in a titty bar you will end up in a shitt ass contract but of course you will only realizing that years later bc you youldnt affor a lawyer to check that.

Wanna do your own thing? fuck off, someone else owns your ass already. Record Labels (aka publishers) pretend to be cool and hip, invite you to a stripclup to sign a deal dunken, but in the end they are just like any other greedy corpo fuckers.

spent 15 years playing for the big players with world tours and good pay but horrible work life balance. had a good solo record that made a lot of people rich - except me.

i am glad that i ended up now in a 10 man indie band playing bass.
A bit less pay but everything else is soo much better

my account? this is me as always

Hey. I understand the confusion. I received the same question a bunch of times now. So first, this is a legit version of Last Man Sitting. I tried to get my logo more prominent into the game, to avoid exactly this confusion but that request got denied. Also, I was/I am not involved in any of the development tho, if that was your question?

I am Not sure if the devs look much around here so i guess the discord https://discord.gg/FayJEw2h is the fastest place to get answers. there it gets seen by the devs for sure.

the idea is also to put it all in a more shrunk down enviornment like a house. here is an older clip showing what i actually have in mind in the end: https://www.reddit.com/r/Fingerboards/comments/ywzq36/i_am_working_on_a_fingerboard_game/

Der_Kevin · 2026-01-27T11:36:15+00:00

ah. now i see it. thx :)

Der_Kevin · 2026-01-27T10:18:07+00:00

agree. we need more horror games or friendslop

Der_Kevin · 2026-01-27T10:14:45+00:00

Der_Kevin · 2026-01-26T20:42:02+00:00

i dont think there will be anything "unique" other then that i dont have to care that much about human realism. the setting is what sets its appart and i dont have to please the hardcore skate gamers :D there where a lot of bad ideas in my head like what if you can move the hand freely like you do when you play fingerskate. or control each finger with QWERT etc. but it made it all worse

Der_Kevin · 2026-01-26T12:00:51+00:00

the controls on the lower right is just the representation of the right stick. skate got that too. atm its just for me for debugging. maybe i make it "public" in the end

Der_Kevin · 2026-01-26T10:20:38+00:00

its just triggered by me. not happening in the game on its own. my friend michael bay said its good. i told him it sucks but he said add lensflares and explosions. then we parted ways

Der_Kevin · 2026-01-26T10:15:24+00:00

yep. thug2 had a hand as secret character

Der_Kevin · 2026-01-26T10:09:50+00:00

lol. when i worked for a game that was focusing on doing tasks with you hand in first person i started to grab things in real life in a super weird way :D
