#game developer pain

[flooferland]

I started working on a FNaF fangame based on The Unwithered Truth's video since about 3-4 days ago, the video was about how he envisioned a reboot of FNaF 1 to look and work like, and only recently realized some master's degree graduate in his comment section just asked "hey wanna make this into a game I need something for my portofolio" and he said yes 😭

3-4 days spent on nothing. Not sure what to turn this into now but I'll probably just scrap it xD

This is so real though obsessing over characters (especially old farts) goes a loooong way for getting through it. I had the same thing but with semi-eldrich monsters during my worst points.

Through the power of old men and medicine, be proud of how far you've come and how long you've lived because we'll be rooting for you the whole way. We're all proud of you even if we don't know what's going on (and that's okay! You don't owe anyone explanations!).

On a more silly note, may all your enemies shit their pants.

Omg that fuggin reminds me that for a good while during my rougher days, I got OBSESSED with the “Omnitome” book weapon JDHDHDJJS

like look at that grumpy lil sad guy,,,,,, my wol goober would 100% keep it moisturized and warm during trips to colder climates

Look.

Ace Attorney fandom.

I know why people don't like Turnabout Bigtop. I am among the people who dislike Turnabout Bigtop.

But I GET why people like the case. I'm not going to be one of those annoying people who just blindly dump on it because I hate those mfs too.

Thing about Bigtop isn't that it sucks. Thing isn't the weird grooming stuff (though that is a huge part of it). It's not that it could've been good.

It's that - in my personal OPINION - it could have been *great*.

I think it had the potential to be one of the best third cases in the trilogy. It had everything; a fun and goofy setting fit for a pretty dang goofy lawyer game - where the environment itself had jokes and quips and one-liners and mishaps and tomfoolery written all over it, it had the previous case introducing a very interesting and important plotline that gave background for one of the more well-loved characters while also introducing an equally fucked up and lovable new one who was a child forced into a shit childhood of naivete in a CIRCUS with another character who was very naive and childish - whose interactions could have been funny and cute and reflective of said shit from the previous case (seriously she becomes such an important character in the 4th case, WHY would they not include her in this one for some character development? How did they fuck up letting a CHILD explore a CIRCUS?? That would have made the interactions flow MUCH better).

They had a pretty good, sympathetic killer imo, a morally dubious victim, an asshole of a client (who was pretty flat admittedly in-game, but I like his weird, topsy-turvy reasoning for it in the anime. Also, I think Max being kinda a dick would have bode well for the themes of Farewell since most of his clients up to this point have been like...nice? Not nice, but sympathetic, but him having to defend someone who's innocent but a prick would have shown him that just because someone is an asshole, doesn't mean they deserve to suffer for it and that they have the potential to grow as people, which is almost a complete foil to what Matt was. Ultimately, I would have loved the contrast of them as clients and I think it would have also served as character development for Phoenix, especially with his low-empathy tendencies).

They just didn't think that far ahead. They just didn't execute it well enough. They just decided to make three of the adult characters fight for the hand in marriage of a teenage girl. (Bat's part of the story was actually kinda good if he was just YOUNGER, I think him doing that for Regina would have been a stupid thing someone in the circus would do to impress their crush. Damn you Ace Attorney and your weird treatment of underage girls!!)

It just flopped and that's ok.

Even though it kinda sucked, it can still mean something to me.

Also I'm a Moe Curls apologist. I liked him, shut up.

Kreia (from Knights of the Old Republic 2) was a character type I was hoping we'd see more of in the realm of western rpgs, after I played kotor 2 for the first time (so you know, a lifetime ago)

And don't give me "oh people couldn't even handle [insert x mean girl here]" because I dont care lol, ultimately this is the fault of overproduction and corporate handwringing over what "the masses" want in a video game companion.

I want to be forced into companionship with characters I don't like (even if it's just one on the roster), and not in a limp wrist "oh their so meeeaaan" kind of way, I mean legitimately aggravating BUT!! WELL WRITTEN!! ENGAGING!!

Kreia, especially on a first, blind playthrough is a nagging, irritating presence who constantly waggles her finger at you for every decision you make. And then you realise what she wants from you and what HER deal is, and it's like ooooooooh my god. She's a bitch, yes, but she's like, got her own ideals and her own fucked up perspective and ultimately she just wants you to understand that perspective. She's a compelling companion and antagonist. And the cherry-on-top is that she gets to be an old woman with a badass design, and without all the stereotypical, infantilising and/or "group grandma" traits older female characters generally get lumped with.

It’s absolutely terrible how people like Mary Kirby and Lukas Kristjanson got fired from Dragon Age, I think the studio is so much worse off without them… but I don’t think boycotting the game is the eff you to BioWare/EA and support for those people that some folks think it is

Like these people have poured their hearts and souls into these games, only to be unceremoniously fired near the end… it’s an incredibly shitty thing to happen, but is not playing the game entirely really the thing to do in response? They still worked on this game for years, shouldn’t people still enjoy and support the fruits of their labor? It’s not like they were fired right when development was starting; they were working on it for nearly a decade at that point.

If you’re just uncomfortable playing the game because of everything that happened, sure, fine, that’s your choice. But going “I’m going to boycott the game to support Mary Kirby” (because she’s the one I usually see people talking about) seems like a bit of an odd choice to me, one that I think could make sure we never see another Dragon Age game again.
