Dont make games its a TRAP

Yeah its fun for a while then .. all of a sudden you need 700k min to make a game

less stress = more fun in life

 

#truth and #dontsplitdeprofits

 

It's true, nobody sane would ever choose willingly to be a game developer.

 

Just takes will ... ups n downs that are more extreme than u can imagine

 

Ups? What ups?

There was this one really up moment yesterday, actually.

I bought a kinder surprise with a Darth Vader key ring toy in it!

 

I guess that explains why I'm doing it so willingly.

 

Just saying .. gotta be ready for a rollercoaster ride

 

You were already ensnared once you joined these forums. You just didn't know it.

 

I am going to make an asset that helps MMO makers split de profits but it channels me 10%

5 lines of code max

 

Trying to eliminate the competition, aren't you?
Nice try.

Listening to somebody's advice is not the right way to have fun in life.

 

Here are a few

• Moving my first cube
• Completing a game
• Making my first game sale
• Discussing game design with the creators of crossy road
• Getting to 100 views on YouTube
• Getting to 1,000 views on YouTube
• Getting to 100,000 views on YouTube
• Being approached by randoms on the forum for specific help
• Being offered payment for that help
• Being designated as the official unity expert in my game jam group
• Getting paid
• Getting approached for contracts
• Having to turn down freelance contracts because there is more work then you can do

I suppose the next big milestone would be quitting my day job and going full time freelance. Or perhaps joining a game studio as a full time employee. We'll see how it goes.

 

Do it for fun instead of money - then you'll be happy about every dime you make, instead of being frustrated for every million you don't earn...

 

Or do it for both! Money is fun too.

 

Get rid of some idea guys in your team and you'll have more than enough money to do game development.

 

Yup nobody sane would ever do this, that's what i keep telling my imaginary friend but he won't listen.

 

sanity is a lie

 

Anything easy isnt worth doing

 

Reasons of not doing game development:
1. Several bugs will show up
2. Will take several years to create a AAA game.
3. Crunch Time
4. Bankrupt
5. There is no number 5.

 

5. resurrect your old projects from the grave and repeat steps 1-4

 

Generally true. But the opposite isn't always true. Just because something is hard do doesn't make it worth doing.

 

Most things are harder than netflix. How hard something is ... is hard to work out relatively!

 

Drinking beer is easy, drinking beer is worth doing...

 

But it's hard to not drink beer, and this is worth doing more.

 

Drinking beer is not as much fun as not needing to drink beer to have fun. Find a way, maybe your design and implementation of a game is that way but of course you must be choosing to implement your game in a way that you find fun.

Darn and now I want a beer and there is a foot of snow outside.

 

pwodjpawjdPWjd WOOT WOOT WOOT! *Circle spin*...

I'm perfectly sane, what you talking about?

 

How not to troll.

 

I'll probably never meet any of you, but I'm glad to have known all you crazy people. I think Erich and Hippo were the first people to help me with noob questions when I first started the forum. Am I nuttier for wanting to be as talented as the rest of you?

 

Obviously don't understand the difference between a joke and trolling, irrelevant of whether or not it was actually that funny..


Anyway.... On topic.

If you can make games of reasonable quality in correlation to competition, you are obviously smart and coherent enough to be successful in many other professions.. It's nothing to do with sanity, courageous and passionate fits the bill. You could of obviously took the easy path...

So I salute those who dare to try and ward anyone who thinks it’s a walk in the park.

 

Where is the "make my game" button ? I thaught it was a Unity 5 feature
