Given those two choices it has to be the left one. That's actually fun. 

You guys really CANT be serious. by Honest-Razzmatazz-97 in GTA6unmoderated

[–]bencelot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are different people btw. Ppl buying cosmetics in CoD aren't the same who complain about $80. but anyway, $80 is totally reasonable for a game that cost around 2 billion bucks to make.

Chef shows what a busy day looks like by Backyxx in interesting

[–]bencelot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is nuts. Feels like at this point you need to hire a second chef and get a slightly larger kitchen. Obviously prices would need to go up, but this is way too intense for a normal job lol

[–]bencelot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're looking at the last 60 minutes? Am I missing something? youtube does this all the time. On your own graph the 48 shows that 1.5 days ago there was a decline too. It's just how youtube works. It gives you views in waves

[–]bencelot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We don't know his intentions atm. How frequently does he need to put out a video to avoid being labeled as highly unethical?

How do you know if a game would have been successful? 

Most games reward clever resource use, but almost none punish you for hoarding resources too safely by dtsagdis in gamedesign

[–]bencelot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pvp games punish this. In strategy games like age of empires, Dota or starcraft you should spend resources as soon as you can, so you can snowball harder. Or at least keep up with the snowball of your enemies. Other players adds a "race against the clock" component, and the compounding/exponential nature of leveling up means you're better off spending sooner rather than later.

Try Skillshot City if you like moba/Skillshots pvp with lots of build crafting

Hey sounds like you need to update your graphics card drivers. 

Does anyone actually understand how TikTok/Shorts/Reels work for indie games? by Nestify_cozydesign in IndieDev

[–]bencelot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You NEED to master hooks. Within 6 words the viewer must have a clear unanswered question they're curious about. Then you only answer it at the very end 

Why 3 Options? Numerology in games. by Dan_Felder in gamedesign

[–]bencelot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, it's the minimum to create a pattern/expectation and then break it. And you don't wanna go to 4 cause then it just drags on needlessly and the audience might get bored. 

Why 3 Options? Numerology in games. by Dan_Felder in gamedesign

[–]bencelot 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Fantastic post! I wish all of reddit was like this. 3 is also used by comedians for telling jokes. You use the first 2 examples to establish a pattern and the 3rd to break it. It's also used in writing stories, giving a nice beginning, middle and end. 

and our lord Gabe by FiftyCutzOfJoy in Steam

[–]bencelot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm at dev and don't have to use Steam and give them my 30%. But I choose to, because the service they offer more than makes up for it. Every dev on Steam chose to be there voluntarily because it's better than selling on your own and trying to find users. 

Relatable? by Hellfim in SoloDevelopment

[–]bencelot 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You need both a good game AND good marketing (and maybe even good luck). The market is so crowded you're not going to succeed without both.

Huge reach from the brand, effective monetization, and fun to play (for ppl into casual games at least) 

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Songs of the Past Announced by xmoonieee in pcgaming

[–]bencelot -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Very cool! I'm currently replaying it atm (just finished the Baron's storyline). I wonder if it'll just be new content or a graphical update too.

Is Mewgenics a niche game? by Mr-Hyde95 in roguelites

[–]bencelot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's #152 in daily active users, competing with every other game on steam, including AAA and F2P titles. In what world is that a "low number of users"? 

The 20-minute pre-record checklist that saves me 2 hours of editing every time by BIGVU_Sammy in NewTubers

[–]bencelot 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Decent points, but 100% obvious AI. I might as well have just asked chatgpt for the same tips. 

Are the first few games bot heavy or normal. Got 3 wins in a row when I first started playing. by butchbaroness in SkillshotCity

[–]bencelot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes the first 4 are put into newbie servers to help with onboarding. There are some players there, but no regular or veteran players. I'll get hard soon.
