No you don't making any sort of decent non indieshit level of game by yourself is too much work for one person, and building a reliable team over the internet who won't randomly disappear is impossible. If you went the other route and went to work for a company they don't care about your ideas unless you're a lead director/dev, you'd be a disposable cog in a machine that could be making more money working somewhere else considering that every fucking company these days will pass you over if you don't have a degree.

t. anon that also wanted to make videogames

>>35724144
start now and problems will arise and you will solve them one by one. starting is the worst part. you don't even need an idea just start

Im not thinking about indie stuff.
I just want to make it all by myself.
Maybe Ken Levine will be pleased by my bioshock game since his last one didn't meet to expectations because of everything you just mentioned.

I want to make a game too

I have some idea about the story, know how the combat will play, and what type of platforming mechanics I'd like, but when I think about having to make the levels I lose my motivation because I'm a nodev that will have to use gamemaker. I also think that the depth I want the combat to be would be hard to do in a 2D game and like the platforming/combat/weapon would go much, much better in a 3D game.

Do you know how to engine dev? Are you a good artist? There are threads on /vg/ for game deving

>>35724272
Never going to happen. At most you will be able to make some shit indie game with enough dedication. From what I seen /v/ say about how this industry really works I'll just say that you aren't going to be making the exact kind of game you want. Definitely not a big budget game like Bioshock.

Look at Kojima. Even with how big of a veteran he was in the industry Konami still was pulling his strings. He's far from the only one in this industry. So unless you become a big time developer (even then you aren't going to make exactly what you want necessarily) your best chance is making crappy indie games.

>Even with how big of a veteran he was in the industry Konami still was pulling his strings
Are you trying to blame Konami for Kojimbo's Metal Blunder V?

I just want to make a free game that will please ken levine for his dissapointment of bioshock infinite. It will blow his socks off and everyone will play it and have fun

>>35724561
No not really actually. Just giving an example of how even he couldn't ever truly make exactly what he wanted.
>>35724595
And I would love to make a spiritual successor to Halo 1-3 or at least somehow will it to exist through magic. Doesn't mean I will ever be able to make exactly what I want. Doesn't even mean it would sell in fact. The gaming market is constantly changing. Bioshock like shooters might become a thing of the past 10 years from now. You never know. From what I see the next hot gaming trend seems to be Overwatch type FPS games.

>>35724741
But I dont care what everyone will play or if it will sell. As long as it's fun

>>35724796
>But I dont care what everyone will play or if it will sell.

You may not but a publisher will. If you somehow think you will be able to self publish your game then you are going to have a whole lot of other issues to worry about then simply making a fun game. Like paying others to help create the game for example.

Can you get rich making little cellphone games? These days they are shittier than early 2000s flash games but go for like a $1 each and/or ads. I'm assuming everyone must be making one and it's saturated and the ones that make it are backed by big companies.

I want to make a simple babbies first RPG but the kind of aesthetics I want don't really exist in NES or SNES graphics, and I'm not good enough at spriting to come up with or edit the graphics myself.

Plus, stuff like balancing all the attacks and enemies and status conditions seems really daunting. I guess that's what play testers are for. Sometimes I think I could try and get around it by making some story focused faux art game like Undertale but I dunno if I could pull it off.

What I really *really* want to make is a Metroidvania or Legend of Zelda style game with active combat rather than RPG combat but obviously that'd be way more difficult than just throwing some shit together in RPGmaker.

I developed a decent kiddie game on my own, free to play and pretty popular. It's crazy, I constantly get begged to implement more microtransaction boosts. These kids love to blow their money on useless shit. They don't know any better.
Financially I only make like 20k/year off it which will only decrease. Feels like it can stop any second. Do NOT do it for money.

I've been playing Witcher 3 for like months and just asked my roommate, "if they can make a game this good for a Polish fantasy series I've never heard of, why can't anybody do it for something like Harry Potter or LOTR?"

She shrugged

>>35725095
meh I dont like the witcher 3

>>35725112
I don't like LOL or normiewatch

>>35725134
>I don't like LOL or normiewatch
okay

>>35725095
I thought Shadow of Mordor was loads of fun. I was really salty when it got announced because
>muh lore
But when I actually got it I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. The rival system was kind of simple, but it was really fun encountering the same orc again and again, building up hatred for him and eventually managing to take the fucker down. All the powers you could unlock were cool too, and the orc banter was great. It's just a shame the game only had one boss fight.

Still though, it can't really compare with an actual Middle Earth RPG, and it's a shame we don't have that.
>tfw no second age RPG where you can be a Numenorean, Sindar, Noldor or Dwarf and cruise around Middle Earth fighting Human barbarians, dark Elves, the remnants of Morgoth's army, dragons and other weird shit

You are incredibly cute Anon. I love your attitude.
I'm sure you'll be able to make the game you want. Good luck.

>>35724879
Rich no, you can't even make a living off it without a proper company.

>>35725095
>why can't anybody do it for something like Harry Potter or LOTR?

because retards hold the licensing rights for those

I want to make something using only free domain sounds and textures and 3D models.

>>35724144
make one today, nerd

>>35725046
There's plenty of free assets out there, or you can buy some good ones.

>>35725046
