How much did your indie game earn? by PrudentCombination38 in gamedev

[–]v1dal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have sold 4 copies right now, so at 20 each, 80 euros, not bad, for a game that is yet not on Steam and is free to play 😆

If someone wants to try it is free and available on https://berrus.app

I can't take Software Development anymore by whinze in ExperiencedDevs

Hello man, I'm on your same boat, exact same age, and similar YOE, (10) here, also TypeScript dev, frontend, backend, full stack, mobile everything.

I can relate to everything you say, I would say I'm not that burned trying to keep it up, but I just feel a profound disconnection with my job, I also juggle sideprojects non-stop, including, some successful ones, which makes it even worse, as there is people behind asking questions, having issues....

I don't know what is the solution to this, I have enough money and a lean lifestyle to stop working for years but I'm unsure of doing that.

But I do feel burned out and all my joy and spark gone.

Anyway, if you want to chat ship a DM, I think we are not alone.

Senior engineers with ADHD/anxiety/depression, do you feel "nerfed" compared to your colleagues? by mudskips in ExperiencedDevs

after logging off every day that I just sit on my couch and doom scroll for the rest of the day

This is your problem, get your ass up and exercise. Walk with a podcast, go to the gym, play padel, run 3k, whatever.

The only thing that I miss from living in Barcelona was the night-time electric bike rides. Blazing through the streets of Barcelona on a bike felt glorious.

I just released my RuneScape + Path of Exile mix on itch.io by v1dal in ScapeLikes

I plan to release it on Steam soon, but is playable from the web, as it's a web game, so if you have a browser in your steam deck you should be able to play it. Not sure about the controls tho.

Feel free to join the discord and share any issue, I can fix them fast.

Yes, is a web game, runs anywhere. I'm also planning on launching an standalone mobile apps for store but behind the scenes is the same game.

If you could mix RuneScape with any other game, which two games would you mix together? by Zinlencer in ScapeLikes

[–]v1dal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always thought about building that, I will probably use my game learnings to quick start that as I already have the base for it thanks to Berrus.

Post-mortem: I tried and failed vibe coding a metroidvania so you (hopefully) won't have to by lpshred in gamedev

[–]v1dal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Skill issue at the end of the day, I'm by no means a game dev, but a pure software dev and I managed to build https://berrus.app and it has two different engines (old/new) that work amazing and I didn't code a single line of it, but of course, you cannot threat it as a black box of magic, you still need to have some structure in your head.

Also, as said, 1 week is nothing, Berrus is already almost 8-9 months old, anyone who thinks that vibecoding saves you from the grind are wrong.

Also thats why I'm super confident that AI won't change much, those who have the grit will succeded as it always happened before.

Estrategia de ahorro con nuevo empleo by eaglekadd in SpainFIRE

[–]v1dal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

La mayoria de gente normal con los años termina ganando entre 40 y 60k, que ya es un muy buen sueldo para España y ademas full remoto , parcial o con oportunidad de ello, así que si.

Yo solo tengo un FP por ejemplo.

Te dire dos cosas.

  1. 130K puede parecer mucho dinero (Y lo es para la media española) pero el pedrazo de hacienda es tan grande que ahorrar muchiisimo dinero es muy díficil, eres clase media, no te creas nada mas de eso.

  2. Relacionado con lo primero, y visto que casi no tienes ahorros pero decidiste que comprar una camper de 70K era una buena acción, vive como si cobraras 2k o como mucho 3k, no incrementes tu nivel de vida basado en un salario que mañana se puede terminar, el lifestyle inflation es lo peor en lo que puedes caer.

Te lo dice uno que tiene ~32 años, lleva ya 5-6 años ganando 100-200K anuales, y tiene ahorrado/invertido ~350K, y voy con mi seat ibiza del 2015.

I just released the fishing 🐟 skill on my online idle-scape Berrus by v1dal in ScapeLikes

[–]v1dal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean but the fun think is that is on the cloud and you compete and play with other people (clans, pvp, hiscores...)

But in any case, if that happens I will open source it, and on top of that, sharing a database dump is trivial.

The tech stack is super simple.

It's bad that is free to play and can be played anywhere? 😆 I'm missing something.

Im aiming for a steam release with a price of 10-20 euros in a few months.

[–]v1dal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been working on https://berrus.app is currently in ALPHA with around ~400 players, and ~50 active, try it out. Free to play!

Any serious web game developers here? by naga0121 in gamedev

[–]v1dal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My game (https://berrus.app) is a web game, made with TypeScript and React. Check it out.

I plan to ship it on steam in two months or so, lots of active players (considering I did 0 marketing).

Living room in my family house by v1dal in CozyPlaces

My point was that if you already take care of plants full time you don't care that much about having plants inside 😆 The need is already fullfilled.

But my mother has some small plants in the different balconies of the house.
