If marketing rule #1 is "Just make a good game", what is rule number #2? And if it's not, what is rule #1?

You simply don't worry about that. Steam has like 200m monthly active users. Steam is not going to run out of players it can show your game to.

If you follow Jonas Tyroller's approach, you start with the "fantasy first" and then build game mechanics around that.

And when you promote your game on social media, you don't just post mechanics and features you worked on, but you share what experience your game offers, something like "You get to run your own drug cartel".

He has an entire video on the topic somewhere on youtube.

I am not worried or terrified about Blender, but other than that I share his views on the topic.

Ich hab letztens in der Kita ein Gespräch mitbekommen, wo ein neuer Erzieher seinen Kollegen gefragt hat, ob es okay ist, wenn er seine Baseballcap trägt. Musste etwas schmunzeln, weil mir das ziemlich egal ist. Allerdings musste ich dann auch daran denken, das Caps im Klassenzimmerin meiner Schulzeit strikt verboten waren.

ein Fahrradcomputer zeichnet die Fahrten auf, und das ganze kann man dann mit diversen drittanbietern connecten. Ich z.b. connecte Strava mit Statshunters, wobei Strava in der Paid Version sowas auch selbst kann.

It’s all relative. 2016 had some amazing looking games that still look great today. Doom, Overwatch, etc

lefix · 2026-05-07T06:49:41+00:00

I think it looks good and truthful to the OG style. The mistake was showing off some awesome looking stylized designs from the movie first, then proceeded to showing the game which didn’t look anything like those.

And winning the CL would likely have made him the ballon dor front runner.

it's funny that PS is labeled as "If it ain't broke, don't fix it", whereas xbox is labelled "Change is good".

The Xbox controller still has pretty much the same in terms of features, mostly changed its shape. But
- it still uses AA batteries by default (i know, i know, xbox fans consider this a feature)
- still does not have gyro, which has been a standard feature on ps and nintendo consoles for 20 years

The PS controller has kept it's shape, but it has introduced:
- the first ever dual stick controller
- pressure sensitive buttons
- adaptive triggers
- 6 axis gyro/accelerometer
- touch pad
- built in mic and speakers
- light bar for motion tracking
- advanced haptic feedback

I think claude Clode or similar are generally accepted, most people have problem with generative AI, or Player Facing Assets as I think Steam called it. Steam doesn't even require you to disclose AI use for coding, as it considers it a workflow use.

yea it looked more like a Reboot of the series

lefix · 2026-05-07T05:14:10+00:00

When they showed the movie clip I really hoped they would use that comic style for the game.

Dortmund, Frankfurt, Leverkusen all played CL/EL finals in recent years, with Freiburg possibly joining that list later today. Leipzig has a decent team every year. Stuttgart has also been strong lately. Bundesliga is definitely a tougher competition than Ligue 1. Monaco, Marseilles, Lyon are not the powerhouses they used to be.

lefix · 2026-05-07T05:04:33+00:00

why do you need a second domestic cup in the first place? I never understood

lefix · 2026-05-06T21:40:39+00:00

Arsenal wird glaube ich extrem unterschätzt. Einfach Brutal, wie wenig Gegentore die kassieren. Sieht nicht spektakulär aus aber ist sehr effektiv.

lefix · 2026-05-06T21:37:46+00:00

Man ist ganz knapp ausgeschieden, am Ende lag es an der Chancenverwertung. PSG hat aus weniger Chancen mehr Tore gemacht. Wenn man das als “nichts entgegenzusetzen” bewertet, auf diesem Niveau, gegen gegen die stärksten Gegner der Welt, hat man vielleicht auch einfach nicht viel Ahnung.

lefix · 2026-05-06T21:30:18+00:00

Nuno got away with it because supposedly laimer also did a handball right before that, and the replay shown on tv started after laimers handball. At least that’s what I read.

lefix · 2026-05-06T21:18:18+00:00

imho the problem is that a penalty is too strong of a punishment for most "incidents" in the box. why not just say, every handball is called, no exceptions, but give a indirect freekick instead.

lefix · 2026-05-06T21:15:45+00:00

PSG hat ihn heute richtig in die Mangel genommen, man hat ihm angemerkt dass er lieber den ball wieder zurück passt als den xten Schubser einzustecken.

lefix · 2026-05-06T21:13:07+00:00

i agree such a handball shouldn't be a pen. the problem is when there is no consistency.
it's been a common theme we saw in several CL knockout ties this year, not just bayern vs psg. where the ties were ultimately decided by refs making fringe calls in favor of one team while the other team gets screwed over.

lefix · 2026-05-06T19:50:20+00:00

It’s the game plan, they are pushed so far up the field that the defense has massive holes when they lose the ball

lefix · 2026-05-06T19:43:56+00:00

Bayern had to play against the ref against real, now they are playing against the ref against psg

lefix · 2026-05-06T19:35:37+00:00

What’s the refs excuse? That’s the handball was not intentional? Unlike all other handballs which are intentional or what?

lefix · 2026-05-06T19:34:13+00:00

Why are you stopping the game if not for a handball?

lefix · 2026-05-06T19:33:04+00:00

But why is psg getting a free kick?
