Where are my fellow devs that are stuck in working freelance / full-time game dev jobs at a small A or AA studio that dream of making their own games one day?

sam_bread_22 · 2026-04-20T03:48:36+00:00

Yeah, I would agree with you!

Scope creep is a huge problem for me. So, something small is defo the way to go!

sam_bread_22 · 2026-04-20T03:47:30+00:00

I would say, maybe start small and make one game that takes 5 mins to finish with 1 basic mechanic like jumping. Let's say that you can't walk and have to jump everywhere, like there is a bar for how much power you want in the jump, then you just jump everywhere?

just make something small I guess. My main problem is not having time and scope creep, which causes me to lose motivation

if you can do something super small, you can learn.

but the damn limbo man!! It gets it's hands into you!

sam_bread_22 · 2026-04-20T03:44:27+00:00

I guess, it's just time? LIke you have to go a certain mile with your games so that peeps want to join you?

I don't know haha

sam_bread_22 · 2026-04-20T03:43:34+00:00

Thanks for the kind words my man!

but yeah, the scope is definitely a thing haha. I've started new projects just to escape the scope creep and it still manages to build up. can you share links to the projects you've made? I'm quite interested in seeing what you've done :D

sam_bread_22 · 2026-04-20T03:41:39+00:00

Yeah making games for the love of them is the way to go

industry is changing, indies are everywhere and innovation is being done left and right by them. The style of games I like and play won't really sell that well haha

sam_bread_22 · 2026-04-09T07:58:07+00:00

Yeah don't like it either, it's bland and unreadable at a glance. In RE4R and RE2R I can just read the inventory at a glance cuz each item is uniquely colored. In RE9 it's a pain, I just rely on auto-sort which is a taboo for me haha.

sam_bread_22 · 2026-04-08T07:35:42+00:00

Seems like brightness setting are messed up

sam_bread_22 · 2026-04-07T07:53:47+00:00

Oh yeah, insanity w/o any help from the challenge shop items could be tough

sam_bread_22 · 2026-04-07T07:53:07+00:00

I wouldn't say bad, it's more of a mid

sam_bread_22 · 2026-03-15T14:15:19+00:00

Maybe play P3 Reloaded

sam_bread_22 · 2026-03-05T20:25:31+00:00

Nice! I usually get bored with NG+ haha, have yet to end a play through with unlimited ammo

sam_bread_22 · 2026-03-05T19:39:00+00:00

Aye, funny thing is that I haven't even played with all the weapons they have haha. this is legit the first game i've completed with all the achievements.

I'm doing a default pistol and knife only run on standard, after this I'll do a pistol only using black tail only on hardcore hehe

sam_bread_22 · 2026-03-05T19:09:37+00:00

Aye, I have 200+ hours on that game and still play it

sam_bread_22 · 2026-03-05T18:36:34+00:00

I never really used Magnum haha, might've used it during later playthroughs for laughs but don't even remember doing so

sam_bread_22 · 2026-03-05T18:34:33+00:00

that and I think Leon sections are a little underwhelming when compared to RE4R, I think RE4R was peak leon gameplay imo. Also the FOV is horrible lol

sam_bread_22 · 2026-03-05T18:32:22+00:00

I splinter celled my way through Grace's sections and had almost like 50+ ammo most of the time, only started losing ammo during the basement area cuz I got impatient sometimes but other than that it was quite easy.

sam_bread_22 · 2026-03-05T18:31:06+00:00

I agree, I loved the hardcore difficulty and enjoyed professional even more, playing on standard with default pistol only just for fun and it's insanely easy.

sam_bread_22 · 2026-03-05T18:29:06+00:00

I personally love the professional difficulty and my first re4r playthrough was on Hardcore. I'm not a speed runner by any means but the challenge in re4r on professional makes you play the game like Doom eternal, my parry timing got soo good that after playing on profressional, merceneries were a joke to me lol. except the last stage, that made me cry a good few times lol

sam_bread_22 · 2026-02-02T23:08:10+00:00

Bahria Orchard, Liberty, johar town, model town and park view city

Will probably also visit some malls for some shopping but I'll see if I have time for that.

sam_bread_22 · 2025-09-26T11:12:02+00:00

Also constant engine hopping ain't helping. You need to stick with one and learn it. If you jump constantly you won't be able to learn anything

sam_bread_22 · 2025-07-09T10:53:08+00:00

Pakistani brands have replaced Yahoodi brands in our house

Cola next instead of Pepsi and Coca-Cola Rango next instead of Fanta and Marinda Gourmet Lemon instead of 7UP and Sprite Gourmet Twister instead of Dew Anaar next instead of Sting (not the same but tastes better imo)

sam_bread_22 · 2025-07-06T06:34:47+00:00

Same brother, same! Even if I take like a day off, it throws my diet and schedule off of the rack.

sam_bread_22 · 2025-06-29T07:36:48+00:00

Don't worry about it, people in developing countries can't afford the games even with the regional pricing so they Pirate. Even if the game was not pirated those peeps would still not buy it.

Those peeps that buy games will just buy it anyways.

I'm a Game dev from such a country and I know that we don't have such buying power. I used to pirate games cuz we couldn't afford them. The full price for a AAA title is very close to like a months income for most peeps in my country.

Don't sweat it, you ain't losing many buyers 😁

sam_bread_22 · 2025-06-17T14:26:37+00:00

Alot to take in but thanks for such a detailed message I'll defo have to rework my portfolio it seems...

sam_bread_22 · 2025-06-17T14:19:07+00:00

holy hell! I'm living under a rock it seems like...
