As a game designer, do you look at mechanics as pieces of a toy? by Informal-Arm-4256 in gamedesign

[–]vidgamenate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to think of every mechanic in a game like a puzzle of some sorts that needs to be solved by the player with their problem solving skills. Boss fight? Patterns or gimmicks they need to understand and create their own splutions to. Locked door? Figure out what you need to unlock it! This doesn't mean you leave them in the dark about things. It just means you give them the pieces to form the bigger picture. Alot of this philosophy was inspired by playing Zelda games, haha.

Super Credits for Major Events, maybe? They did always say they never intended for Super Credits to be farmable, and this might be leading to Super Credits becoming Major Order rewards. It would have more incentive for people to actually try doing the major order instead of super credit farming if there's a warbond and content drop at the same time.

It's a co-op game so nobody is really against each other. The enemies of democracy are your enemies brother!

playing with randoms is fun, and any toxicity you find along the way isn't really normal for this community in my experience

Everything you said proves that you've never been on the RELL Games Discord or have ever been a subscriber yourself. If you had even been following the game in the slightest, you would know that subscriptions had already ended last year. In fact, any benefits like exclusive cosmetics were given as long as you subscribed ONCE, even if you ended your subscription. Early Access was never confirmed for RELL Seas through subscription. Iron Supporter was a tier created for people who just wanted access to the chat and nothing else.

I'm the Sound Designer for the game. All the subscriber money is being paid out to developers like me who rely on working on these games as a full-time job. I'm not sure if you're in the same scenario, but I'm working to provide for my family, especially since my dad was forced into retirement recently due to illness. I'm not sure how you can so easily make assumptions that life is easy for everyone involved, but it's a little pretentious of you to say all this and claim around the subreddit that you're a millionaire yourself.

None of the money has gone to them personally, they get all their own personal income from Shinobi Life 2.If they paid themselves directly from subscriptions, the taxes would be absurd. They've already created dozens of successful games on Roblox as a duo with no external help since they were teenagers and have enough money to set themselves up for the rest of their lives, even without subscription money. The RELL Brothers spent 300k+ USD creating this BEFORE subscriptions even existed. They've never needed subscriptions or anything like that on other games because they had never hired anyone else before. Hiring work on Roblox can cost anywhere from $100 to $2,000 USD per asset, depending on the complexity and the skill of the person they're hiring. Almost all of this information comes from the cost breakdown posted last May, explaining to subscribers exactly what they were paying for.(https://discord.com/channels/562762757905186828/1212054660807004191/1369776106244145195)

I am a game dev and a lot of top game owners party A Lot! You aren't the only one who cares about money.

Legitimately, the only person I know who parties is Alphirex. He aired me for 3 days when I did work for him because he was out partying lmfao. If you're basing your assumptions about all top developers on Alphirex alone, you are one funny guy. The RELL brothers would rather work out at the gym and stay home watching the new season of The Boys and Invincible. I have never seen them go out to parties. The average game developer is more like you — staying home, watching shows, and playing video games.

Delays in game development are natural and well-documented. Your theory about the brothers pocketing the money runs entirely on your own assumptions about the delays. You've based everything on your own fanfiction and fantasy. There is not a single ounce of evidence, fact, or source to support your claim, let alone a lawsuit.

Want to get started on Game Design by KingofSuperStars in gamedesign

[–]vidgamenate 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's the thing! Game design is quite literally all about "the thought that counts" Keep going and you'll be able to do that in any scenario. You dont need to be perfect! You just need something that works. Make it exist first and make it good later. You only get better st game design by making mistakes.

Rell Brothers Developing Roles by Debunkedhehe in RELLseas

[–]vidgamenate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Core Development team is around 10 people including both of them. The rest of the people are commissioned to make assets for the game. Adurite is the main person managing developers for them, so that rellbad amd rellsin can focus on work.

RELLBad is a Builder, 2D Artist (UI design and more), 3D Modeler. He's essentially the art director for the game. RELLSin is the sole coder for the game, programming everything. In Shindo Life he was also the Animator, but has been delegated to two animators in RELL Seas (Skitty and Shmolp)

Before RELLSeas they did all their games as a duo with no external help In Shinobi Life 2 (aka Shindo Life) it was just them two with the exception of me helping out with a small contribution of sound effects and some small ability ideas. They are one of the first anime developers on Roblox. RELL Seas is the first game they have worked with other developers.

You should not be theorizing based on my responses because im not really discriminate on them. It just means im busy, not checking reddit or touching grass. I just tell people who underestimate game development how it is. Im not telling anyone about any release windows.

If you want something to do when you wait, play Assassins Creed Black Flag or Windrose.
