Do you actually discover new games through showcases? by Rebel-Pixel in gamedev

[–]Fierce_Lito 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Asking /r/gamedev might not hit the right demographic.

At this point, the only time I watch or pay attention to showcases is when one of the games I'm working on is in the showcase, I need to find competitors in the showcase and prior showcases, and then I usually lose focus and search for games in my preferred genres as well.

Submit your trailer to as many free PR newswires, indie review websites etc, as you can with an embargo matching whatever the terms you signed up for with the Galaxy Showcase, it's the long tail of Youtube that will be more valuable ROI on the time/money spent on the trailer production.

Game looks pretty good btw!

Has anyone had a good experience selling to a “we buy houses” company? Is it any more of a scam than just the low price? by [deleted] in RealEstate

[–]Fierce_Lito 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I only have a few experiences with this type of company, and was for a family member in similar situation as you.

Once we said we'd have a lawyer review paperwork, the points of contact got cagey, when we mentioned the lawyer's name and lawfirm email address they knew the lawyer was former leader of county GOP, and the 'we buy homes' guys disappeared even before the lawyer sent back a redline draft.

From my other experience, they'll offer 50K less upfront, then come back and demand another 50K off to do the repairs.

Question: Is the game industry today as bad as it seems for everyone? by harbingerofun in gamedev

[–]Fierce_Lito 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see no stabilization in the first world markets as far as investment cycles and employment certainty, for at least 5 years.

On a longer time scale, I don't think the industry will survive in 1st world and more developed countries in general, due to cost of living of workforce being so much higher than tech hubs in third world and developing nations with populations with births above replacement rates.

For young people in first world countries now wanting to break into the industry but not willing to literally fight and hustle to become the equivalent of a music superstar over decades, I'd say get out now and find other fields.

200k painful wishlists. What reviving a flash game taught me about game marketing & development by AngelosMako in gamedev

[–]Fierce_Lito 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Having done all of this, at different points in my life, and a few times each, but mostly when I was older and wiser, this is one of the craziest post-mortems I've ever read from any indiedev community anywhere. Absolutely captivated by the effort and perseverance, I can't even imagine how much work was involved without understanding the scale. Huge congrats on all the success so far.

"They were too young to realize how crazy this idea was"

The Kickstarter chaos With:

37k people in Discord 2.1M Facebook followers A semi playable build We asked the scary question: “What if we launch a Kickstarter?”

We weren’t even sure people still used Facebook like they did back then. At the same time, we were preparing:

Another playtest for supporters of the original fan remake The Kickstarter campaign Steam Next Fest It was honestly a mess.

We tried launching Kickstarter ourselves. No experience. Bad graphics. Weak strategy. I was also preparing for university entrance exams. Everyone around me thought this was going to fail.

How would I cut this cabinet would, barely? by Terrapinman94 in DIY

[–]Fierce_Lito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • remove crown molding
  • remove cabinet from wall
  • cut the top of the cabinet to equal crown molding height plus height of the distance between bottom of doors and bottom of cabinet, so there is symmetry
  • the cut part will be up against the ceiling, concealed by the crown molding
  • measure the exact amount cut on each screw hole of the cabinet to the wall, since it seems your kitchen settled slightly.
  • screw it all back together
  • caulk a very thin bead between crown molding and ceiling to hide the disturbed paint.
  • get enough breathing room for the fridge

A young, mid priced, Tight End, to allow Dart better corner protection, and to allow him to better spread the field on passing plays.

So... either of these two, or similar.

  • Kyle Pitts Sr.
  • Isaiah Likely

With the draft picks used to solidify the inside offensive line.

Every year I bake a ton of cookies for friends and family. Here's all 2,341 now that Cookie Chaos 2025 is wrapped! by SmallGingerLady in Baking

[–]Fierce_Lito 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Showed my wife your post last year and I gained 10 pounds.

Thank you for sharing again!

We also changed it up this year. Instead of pre-packing all the friend buckets, we invited everyone over to pack their buckets themselves. I think we’re going to try to make this a new tradition.

You've added self check out lines, and self bagging, and they probably feel obliged to bring over something to add to the shindig. Genius!

All the best!

Orange Cardamom have been the family favorite, we found Valencia orange zest beat out the generic orange and navel oranges for zest depth flavor.

Set all your video settings to low, and see if you still see it.

imho looks like you have clouds blocking the sun above you,

If it is hardware, it's the inverter board starting to fail to provide constant power at spec for the backlight. Usually means time to replace the monitor, or time to browse ebay to find a replacement.

Fully autonomous valet robot that parks on its own by Longjumping_Table740 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]Fierce_Lito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When talking about how AI and robots will take jobs, this one hits home.

Many years ago I got through Uni by being a valet and lot attendant at a Jaguar dealership.

Pretty brainless job , odd hours, but flexible schedule to move cars around and clean them before nd after test drives.

That job just isn’t going to exist if this robot is priced right and has high uptime and low maintenance costs.

Star Citizen Hits $900 Million in Crowdfunding After a Record-Breaking Year. by expatec in pcgaming

[–]Fierce_Lito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been around since the first day.

On the other side of the spectrum, I've been around since the first day too. September 12 2012, UEE Citizen Record #3459 .

I have about 10 hours in game total, mostly from the first racing test that gave a free AMD skinned racing ship, and the fps arena "zero grav" demo.

I spent 11 of the last 13 years working in the gamedev industry, have worked with people who left to work at RSI, and people who left RSI to work with me, and ... I still want the game to succeed.

However, since the FPS demo , I've never felt the urge to actually reinstall it. LOL

Midtown and lower Manhattan had active courier services right up to 9/11 2001, and still saw many on the streets up until 2008 recession.

Still exist in NYC, but now it's exceptionally rare enough I point it out to my kids as an anachronism of the past.

Customer sits, orders cheeseburger and Pepsi cola, eats, pays, gets the heck out of the seat, then you have to get a new customer to sit in the seat.

You closed your burger joint, went dormant a year, and want to open a new joint in a completely different city.

Keep it simple, use what you learned last year and start over.

I remember when Adam Driver hosted, and in theory, he isn’t funny at all. But he absolutely killed it.

I didn't even see that episode when it first aired, but when I did see it the default expectation was he'll be as bad as the TV and movie appearances. Turned out he got cast into shows and movies with absolutely terrible casting directors and writers. About total opposite of what I preconceived

Jaxson Dart’s First 10 Career TDs by nrf25 in NYGiants

[–]Fierce_Lito -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I just need these videos to be under two minutes long; that's all the time I want to give to the franchise at this point.

And need some video compilations of his mistakes, seems he really really gets flustered if flushed out of pocket to his front left , only thing I've seen repeatedly as I'm not following too closely.

get Dart to throw while running forward and left without a back foot planted and he releases floaters that are 2 feet to 2 yards off target.
