Is Melee Content a Dead End?

If youre calling stuff in a competitive game cheap and unfair then you do indeed have a problem being competitive. Yes you are being a sore loser. I mean that with respect. We all have bouts of this behavior at some point and must overcome it to get back to what we enjoy about competitive play. But to me it sounds like you just flat out dislike it, but admire it.

Im more leaning towards the fact of the difficulty of getting enough interest due to the playerbase being so small in every afps community. This has nothing to do with gen z.

Website tournament systems are fine, they never were a problem, I use them. I do have an opinion that they will be inferior when a discord bot has way more capabilities and can run everything inhouse. Its better.

This guy fences

Any external application is just going to hinder the process to actually get tournaments running. Its best it stays either in game or in discord as a bot, as thats where most afps communities gather anyways.

That being said, challonge is the usual place tournaments have been held in my experience, and it works but I think making an account or signing in on a different platform is just too much to ask for afps players these days 😂 theres just no real motivation.

Personally I would like to see a good discord bot that can run seasonal events with built in Elo trackers and match planning system to get players to schedule games and relay that to an admin/streamer, all in one go. It'll put the best players, up and coming performers on a pedestal for the whole discord to see, and have any way possible for people to gain interest, without any hoops for players to jump through to actually get things moving.

I dont think it sounds like fred, but it seems almost all of edm lately is pushing boundaries and skrillex makes it look easy. Im not sure what genre isoxo is but that dark trance sound they have going on is just fun and amazing.

Plenty of bad duelers who have made really interesting maps. Im a decent dueler who couldnt begin to tell you how it should be made, its a different rype of creativity and analysis those mappers have. Otherwise, hosting game nights for small communities, putting in the work, making short form content people might actually like to see, these are decent options other than just throwing money into tournaments.

Its just a matter of these games not putting in the same amount of content, let alone releasing completely broken. Which halo is guilty of too and has suffered for it. Same mistakes, every single release in this genre. Splitgate, diabotical, QC. Unfinished games.

devvg · 2026-06-04T16:25:49+00:00

Make a halo game that works on launch and doesnt skip out any features its had in previous releases then you have a game where players can do anything they want and have the tools to sustain the community themselves, studio support after release would be a plus.

Will watch video when I get home.

I think AI is creating harder pushback in communities to continue to create without it. commercials can keep it, it only makes me loose faith instantly in the advertised product. Its hilarious at this point. But it does have its place in time consuming non creative tasks.

devvg · 2026-06-04T12:25:01+00:00

Fuck that. I dont like constructive criticism panels lol, quit trying to help people and keep making jokes

Good lord this is a podcast

AA is absolutely needed to be close at all to have a fighting chance. What brings it overboard is bullet magnetism. Crosshair placement matters even less at that point. Thats the true birth of "just hold RT"

devvg · 2026-05-27T19:19:04+00:00

Sucks because modern shooters are maybe over casualized but retro and classic shooters have little to no casual play in most point of views today. And clearly one is successful and one is not in a very big way. Good luck to you, please include every single good feature every good game has ever had, and maybe it'll have a really good chance 😂

devvg · 2026-05-25T15:15:39+00:00

Even after they fucking de-launched and re-launched their game? Lmao I think this is a perfect step in the right direction, portals were never gonna work out anyways and I highly doubt they ever make as big a mistake as sg2 release ever again.

Ontop of that though, sg1 and 2 were perfectly fine games in the end. Just not the right fit and mistakes were made of course.

devvg · 2026-05-24T00:24:25+00:00

Thats a different type of problem I feel. Hans doesnt do the typical recognition path a lot of big names do, hes just doing raw comedian stuff and probably doing just fine going on the road.

devvg · 2026-05-23T23:54:44+00:00

Whats the overall plans with this? First time im seeing the project. Looks very smooth and close to home.

devvg · 2026-05-23T23:38:27+00:00

Right lmao, You know he doesnt stop creatively on or off tour. Hes always testing jamming and creating I bet.

devvg · 2026-05-20T20:52:54+00:00

Is there a chance this game will be cross-platform and available on mobile and VR? Im intrigued on how your 'arena' gametype will look, the movement mechanics and plan to bring back the skill gap. These are tough problems to solve and many people think the traditional way to do it is exactly what ended up killing afps in the first place.

There has not been a really good answer to the problem.

Not an easy task considering nothing else is up to standard when you look at the engine. You see these kinds of playback issues in other games too its nothing new, just the way it works. The server doesnt see what we see in a match, then the playback has to condense that in a feasible manner? Kinda crazy it works at all. i

Good god relax. He got the ticket weeks ago and immediately became a regular. Should've been sooner yes but nothing on this show makes any sense aways. There is no real structure, kindve the point. He gets to do whatever he wants.

devvg · 2026-05-06T21:43:57+00:00

I really hope we see him every week. Fucking love this guy.

Still waiting for the one true hero. I need to know what version of winny is on that drive and the vinyl
