    I love that Blinks game. The potential is amazing. It was like watching someone design a chess board for the first time.

      Yeah gatekeeping in the game dev space is very real, and usually done by people who have big egos and don't want to feel like their many years of experience are somehow discredited because an amateur enters the space and calls themselves a game designer. I've been doing game dev stuff for 2 decades and honestly if you sat down today and started sketching out ideas for a game, you're a game designer in my eyes.

    Hey miz, great video. One thing that you could put subtitles for the people at the game conversation

    Thanks so much for sharing this. I have some temporary medical issues being addressed so I wouldn’t be able to do this sort of thing right now. Was great to attend vicariously through you. You asked a lot of great questions. Looks like you had a great time yourself so that is very cool. I liked you comment for the need to “recharge you social batteries”, as I could totally related. I’ll look for you on Tik Tok 😀

    Hey, small gripe, but the audio here is a bit hard to follow and there are no prewritten subtitles. Like the autocaptions aren't bad (really impressive actually), but there are also long stretches of [Music].

  • @Konitama
    @Konitama Před 2 lety +3

    Conventions are fun and a great way to just be social and make connections but your concerns about them being worth it or not aren't misplaced. It's a lot easier to get your game known by simply sharing it on social media than to go to a convention and get a booth. The whole getting a booth and talking to a few hundred people thing really is just about hopefully making a connection with a publisher or other developers you might be able to work with.
    At the end of the day, having a booth at a convention just helps some people feel like their game is "real" and that can be pretty comforting in itself. But from the research I've done it doesn't seem like a good use of time/money if you're just looking to promote your game and get new fans.

    What a great video. Thanks so much for showcasing all these indie games that barely get coverage. So many new threads to follow, granted I'm not too deep in the community but, I had heard of NONE of these. The build a bear scene was flawless. There was a communist manifesto under the table lol. The people you interviewed from anthropic studio and kinsoul studio were super inspirational. 10/10 vlog.

    Kinda random and off topic, but I just purchased Intersection and level 23 seems to be unbeatable on my system, same problem as a few others in the Steam Community tab for the game since release. Someone suggested releasing a save for people to download so they can have access to all the levels even if they're having this issue. I was enjoying the beginning of the game and was looking forward to playing more, but I understand that you've moved on from the project, so you may not have the time or energy to address this.

    I'm struggling to see the overlap between game dev and political manifestos. Was it just a mix of random props? I think I see hot sauce on there too lol.
    I feel like it's probably not that 'worth' to showcase at these places. You could spend like 50 hours of work on this and like you said, get a dozen or so playteaters, maybe an article written that 50 people real. Or, throw a CZcams vid together like 'how I added real AI my PS1 style survival horror', get 200k views with a link to itch, socials, patreon and get a much larger following and immediate revenue. Even the people there said Tiktok does all the heavy lifting.
