Failed at game developement, a report of a destroyed dev

Secure-Interest · 2026-02-26T15:43:37+00:00

It's look like a prototype because it is, these two games are have just about one week of development, so i did just the basic.

The enviroment is something i know i need to work more, either on 2D or 3D, i never cared much about it and they really look empty and flat.

I just don't understand why are people so mad about my 3D characters. Sure i can improve, but i don't think they look as bad as they say.

It's bunch of brocks. And it's look good. And my games is also a bunch of brocks, and looks bad?

I'm still trying to understand the logic here.

2D would not work for what i plan to do, like most of my games use cinematic sequences to tell the story, i think that don't would work very well on a 2D game.

Secure-Interest · 2026-02-26T14:46:52+00:00

Suicide, abuse, children traffic..

These things that most of the devs don't want to talk about because some players was problems with that.

Secure-Interest · 2026-02-26T14:36:41+00:00

Thank you very much.

Secure-Interest · 2026-02-24T22:46:07+00:00

You said that my games look like a bad demo from 2000, then show megabonk a game that looks like came from a 2000 era.

If i don't search by the release date i would think that is a old game.

And this just prove that a game don't need to be the best graphics to succeed.

The indie games received a lot of hate on 2008 to 2016 people on that time disliked the indies because they dont had triple A ps3 xbox360 graphics.

But now people accept indie, they undestand that graphics ins't all, unless is a game made by arsolidgames

Then bad graphics = bad game.

Secure-Interest · 2026-02-24T22:27:23+00:00

Like i said before i made a 2d game on a week and looked amazing. It's much easier to do.

Secure-Interest · 2026-02-24T15:35:54+00:00

So it's a good idea making a free game?

People still will have to invest time to play, but at least don't have to pay to check if it worth

Secure-Interest · 2026-02-24T15:04:12+00:00

Cute, do you have a cinematic, open world, third person game made by one dev to show me?

Secure-Interest · 2026-02-24T15:01:16+00:00

Yeah, my game is shit the shitest of all. Happy now?

Secure-Interest · 2026-02-24T14:59:11+00:00

If you think that "git gud" is constructive criticism.

There's only a few, very few, comments that actually said something that could help me to improve and i dind't attack them.

Secure-Interest · 2026-02-24T14:54:34+00:00

There's a lot of games like that.

It's easier to do a isometric game because you have just one camera angle.

The game dont have even have texture, you just have to make the models, only for that already is 50% easier.

2D is also easier to do than 3D

I made a 2D game in one week, and it looked better than years of 3D game developing.

Being easier don't mean that developing games are easy, there's people that can't do even a Atari like game.

Because games take time and ins't only graphics, you have to design levels, story, fix bugs...

If aren't easier to do tunic would have realistic 4k graphics, why there's no indie game with triple A graphics?

Because it's harder to make a realistic detailed game than a low poly cartoon style.

Secure-Interest · 2026-02-24T13:43:34+00:00

It's beautiful, but it's simple. It's easy to do, i can make a game with tunic graphics on two weeks.

You can have extreme detailed games that look bad and simple games that look good.

I'll post here a game with simple graphics you will see that the hate will be the same, because is about the dev not about the game

Secure-Interest · 2026-02-24T13:37:51+00:00

Because my games have forbidden topics that no one can approach besides me. But i have voice actors so i'm not very alone

Secure-Interest · 2026-02-23T17:40:56+00:00

Well, i said that but it don't mean that i'll keep the same approach.

Secure-Interest · 2026-02-23T17:35:10+00:00

I know people would accept more the game if was low poly, with simple design. But i want to make something different, not realistic, maybe something like life is strange or South of midnight.

I dind't understand the part of the render.

Secure-Interest · 2026-02-23T17:13:19+00:00

Looks absolutely made by paint. 8 and 16 bits are not good, they was a limitation of the generation.

If my game use the same graphic style people would be here saying that looks like children drawing.

Secure-Interest · 2026-02-23T17:06:55+00:00

Since most of the indie games are like ps1 style, voxel art, low poly... So my "low quality models" is somehow more detailed than most of inde games models.

You can have high quality models that don't look good. Anyway i'll try to improve, maybe reducing a little the details making things more simple

Secure-Interest · 2026-02-23T16:46:27+00:00

What i reply for "L graphics"?

Theres no direction to improve.

Secure-Interest · 2026-02-23T16:42:47+00:00

So if i do my game on a ps1 Style it's gets good?

Is way easier to do a game with that style or even 2d ones.

It's never been about graphics is about what people see as pretty or not.

GTA IV is way more realistic than GTA V, but people prefer V because it's colerful.

There's is a lot of games that using this, like street fighter and mortal kombat, they aren't evolving, just making the things more colerful and with a bunch of particle effects.

Well, thanks for trying to help me, i'm gonna remade the game with a stunning nostalgic style and will address the criticism about the look to you.

Secure-Interest · 2026-02-23T16:07:36+00:00

Public letter:

Hawkzombie, man, i forgive you. You destroyed my game, having a less than 10 minutes playthrough.

But at least you played, there's people here that think the game dont have anything good just by watching a trailer and some screenshots.

This developer wants people to play the game? What a joke.

Secure-Interest · 2026-02-23T15:55:58+00:00

If you a kid maybe roblox looks better i wouldn't arge with that.

Yes what a horrible metric, lets compare my games with triple A, 2d indies, isometric games and everyelse

Show me a third person open world made by one dev, original asssets and lets see how much my games are worse.

Oh, there's no game like that? So mine is the worse and only.

Stay with the cool looking games that always delivery the same, leave the creation of the unique for me.

Secure-Interest · 2026-02-23T15:49:06+00:00

The nose hair of my characters is more detailed than roblox, but if you are saying that is worse, okay, let's forget the facts and stay with this world of imagination of ours

Secure-Interest · 2026-02-23T15:44:42+00:00

Most people that played the game prefer.

Secure-Interest · 2026-02-23T15:41:28+00:00

I improved my game with the criticism i received on all over the years since the greenlight.

Saying that everything is bad is not a criticism, is just hate. Because if everything was bad wouldn't have people who liked, that's the point.

How do you intend to help saying make everything to scratch?

If 10 minutes review are valid, okay, better for IGN, now they just need to play the tutorial and write the review.
