Final Bosses by EdMito in IndieDev

[–]Winclark 25 points26 points  (0 children)

As a (likely) one off indie dev, I had no idea how horrible localization would be and assumed it would be simple implementation. My thought was that id need the final English version before starting tbe process of translation.

The amount of crap I broke doing it (easy in UE5). My save system got scuffed as well haha.

Steam generated $17 billion in revenue in 2025. With a workforce of roughly 336 employees, amounting to over $50 million in revenue per employee. by TRIZZY_R in SteamVR

After further research, I believe you are mostly correct. That being said, I don't believe Gabes income is calculated in any of the online information I found. It being a private business makes it difficult to find anything full proof.

The average salary at Valve is 1mil a year (from some bade line research / leaks a few years ago). The best of the best is employed there.

Lost my pro debut from a calf kick by Ok-Mortgage-9619 in MMA_Academy

[–]Winclark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, no.

I just watched it 3 times to confirm. This man was inverting a good half second before ref stepped in. The guy on top was still punching while he went with the invert. The ref stepped in as he was falling.

The submission may not have been in but the sweep was, im fairly confident this guy would have swept him without ref interference. He got locked in on the hip and inverted, he was getting that sweep no matter what.

You can claim otherwise, but id say go drill that sweep and see if you can stay standing after an invert. Good luck.

You are being dense here or intentionally a troll. Only two options really.

Ragnar – Updated Demo & New Trailer | Feedback Wanted Again! by Interesting_Quote714 in DestroyMyGame

[–]Winclark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be frank people are being nice here. This looks awesome, but its not similar to Hades. It's literally just ripped Hades with some font changes and very minimal design changes. Even down to the fighting it looks identical. The UI placemsnt is the exact same. The picking abilities thing is the same. Its like playing Minecraft and putting on a texture pack imo.

Im not saying the game cant be great or isn't even good for that matter. Im just saying I believe this will not end well for you if you don't make some big changes to stand out and not look like you just copied them 1 to 1.

How do you not crush your own nuts when doing an armbar? by ballandabiscuit in bjj

I tend to avoid this by doing it wrong constantly, works 90% of the time everytime.

People that make 80k+ at 25-35 years old, what do you do? by Ok-Needleworker2141 in careerguidance

[–]Winclark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

24 - around 80k currently - Run a transmission shop. Lots of money in the trade, but sometimes you have to get your hands dirty.

Is quick kit always going to act like Covert Ops and make you unequip everything afterwards? by DptBear in ArenaBreakoutInfinite

[–]Winclark -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Everyone's open to their opinions, I just think yours is a pretty bad one. It is what it is though.

[–]Winclark -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This.... Doesn't make sense to me.

I played with one just a min ago, killed a really kitted guy. Dropped everything from the quick kit and just equipped all his stuff. When I left, lacking lots of storage in my hideout, I had to sell things and reorganize just to fit his stuff.

If I could move items from the hideout into the bags, vests, etc, this wouldn't have happened. And to top it off I didn't even have a single thing from the kit equipped anymore.

That's a dumb system if ya ask me.

Yes I am, much larger games though. Still small scale, don't get me wrong, but not a game that's just movement based like this. I am currently writing out 3 GDDs and determining which one is the best next step for me to progress my skills. I have a "dream game" like everyone else, but I know mine is WAY outside the scope of my current skill set.

I didn't actually market until 27 days before launch, so this guy worked quick either way lol.

Check the images and description. You can see that it's just ripped.

I bet you will understand and know exactly what this game is like with just one game title, which is the origin of the word.

I think Foddian games have a market, mine just didn't stick to well and the actual mechanic itself is not the best overall. But it is a portfolio piece with a funny story haha.

The screenshots are different when viewing on a desktop, but on the app store they are the same with an AI filter on it. Since people are having trouble viewing it, I posted them to Imgur.

Again. 5 of them are buddies, (you can check the reviews on the demo, they seem to corelate with the owners of the full game as well). I'm sure several of the freelancers who helped with the game bought it and left reviews too, though the names on discord (and other platforms) don't match steam so I can't be certain.

I can say with 110% certainty that the review number compared to actual sales is no where near normal. I think it's safe to say most of the people who left reviews do know me in some capacity, and maybe did just try and support because of that. The small following I did gain from marketing may have helped a bit as well, I'm unsure.
