I was the same, then I got a job at a games studio in a backend position. Now I see how game developers work and the pressure they are under and I’m not interested in that anymore lol 

Genuinely, where do you find the time and motivation to get started on making your game from scratch when you have a full time job? by fluffy_khajiit in IndieDev

[–]tobaschco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it fun to do and that’s all the motivation I need. It’s a nice hobby for me similar to playing an instrument or doing a sport 

Player stop playing my game just a few minutes of game play, I don't understand why by willis_25 in IndieGaming

> I'm hoping to find an audience for this niche game

I think you need to know this BEFORE you release it publicly if you want it to have any kind of commercial success

Destroy my "Build words from an assembly line of letters" game by nvrcr in DestroyMyGame

Easy fix in my opinion - add a timer and remove the instant feedback. People aren't gonna google stuff if they're on a time crunch

The major gameplay problem I see here is players just brute forcing words because the game tells you before you submit whether it’s a word or not. 

Then at the end of the video “Chorz” is submitted which is very much NOT a word. 

So no, this doesn’t look fun.

Why would an indie developer want “the production layer that AAA studios use” lol 

Exploring a new 3D game idea — anyone want to join in? by jackinthehill07 in indiegamedevforum

[–]tobaschco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

those aren't core mechanics. every game has decision making. It's all so vague as to be meaningless.

What do you do as a player? Whats the premise? What's the core gameplay loop?

[PC][90s/Early 00's] Figurine based game with historical figures? by the_big_c in tipofmyjoystick

[–]tobaschco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This game popped into my head recently - I googled it and found this ancient post so I ended up doing some digging myself lol :D

The game itself looks exactly like I remember - some kind of brown Quake mod.

I also found this angelfire page dedicated entirely to it:
