Why isn't there a 4chan game development group? I don't

>>384734758
>I don't mean like /agdg/, I mean a group that actually works TOGETHER on games.
You mean, /agdg/?

Why in the ever loving fuck would I want to work with any of you faggots, let alone exist in some form that allows any of you to directly contact me.
Who the fuck do you think you are? Are you lonely? Are you pathetically crying out for some form of companionship? Do you really expect to find that shit here? No. Fuck you and fuck your retarded ideas you piece of shit.

There have been multiple attempts to make groups like that. Nothing ever gets finished because we just can't work together or we get too ambitious

Are you retarded?

We can barely discuss video games together let alone play them together, let alone MAKE them together

>>384734758
4chan is incapable of working together in a cohesive project of something that would be a video game worth playing. Just even considering it on /v/ alone is a terrible idea. You wanna see what you end up with when you get cohesive /v/ well that's /vg/.

Don't use my wife to shitpost.
Thanks.

>a group that actually works TOGETHER on games
I think the only success of that nature was the creation of Katawa Shoujo.

This. You sound like you have some pretty sweet skills to bring to the table OP. Please don't waste your skills or time here.

>>384735075
[s4s] shits out games constantly

>>384735075
4chan shouldn't take credit for that even though a bunch of ass grabbing faggots decided it was a good idea to base the idea of the studio off of it.
Literally tripfags making tripfags content that's what katawa shoujo was and it has become the pinnacle of why /vg/ should continue to exist to be a containment board.

4chan can't make a game worth playing and a handful of tripfags circle jerking their project isn't going to change that.

Weeaboos would make the group insufferable.

WHERE'S MY CRAB NICHOLSON GAME YOU LAZY FUCKS?

YOU FAGGOTS COULDN'T EVEN GET BROQUEST RIGHT.

>>384734758
Because /v/ is full of literal autists that don't know how to work together, nobody here knows how to make a game, and everyone on /v/ is an "ideas guy" that doesn't understand why certain ideas aren't possible or why they don't work well with other ideas - the most common fucking one being "make it realistic!"

you guys don't even have good vidya ideas, sorry

>>384734943
That's why you need a game that's simple at its core, but is easily extensible.

I've got a game idea like that; I'd totally make it if I had all the skills necessary.

Pretty much the idea for the game is to simulate a war until one side loses, rewind time back to the start, then put the player on the side that's going to lose. The scale of the war is immense, and the player's score is based on how much better the war turns out from their contribution.
The player may be one unit in thousands or even millions (millions can be simulated, I know how), but they do actually stand a chance of turning the tide of the war: Because they can review how the war played out without them. They can save their army from major defeats by preventing the battles from occuring in the first place.

Because you need some central leadership/ownership to get anything done, and in a "anyone contributes" environment, nobody wants to step up and do the hard stuff, everybody just does what's convenient and quits when it gets difficult.

>nobody here knows how to make a game
I kinda know how to make games, but I'm just an animation/artfag. I won't really disagree with everything else you said though

>>384735589
i thought crab nicholson got made but ended up being ignored

>>384735590
>nobody here knows how to make a game
What the other anon said. A few of us know how to make game, we just end up with small projects because we're bad in a group

>>384735774
This.
Idea guys are always people who should really just be writing books.
I have never seen a game idea even a tenth as good as >>384735783 and to put that in perspective that's basically "shower thoughts" in terms of idea complexity.

>>384736310
If your game idea is so great, samefag, then make it.

Game ideas are literally less than worthless, because they waste your time hearing them.

Alright, you know what.
I'm laying in a hospital bed with nothing better to do.
Do you guys want me to teach you how to make a small vidyo using a simple tool I've used to teach kids how to code?
We'll do it live on some thread, and everyone will leave with a basic game done.

>>384734758
Because the second it gets political, left or right is when it will crash.

Start with something simple and go from there. Probably better to find a genre, type of game, setting and a few characters/enemies (atleast their looks). If you get results asap it'll be more motivating to continue working. If you get a very small base game you can build on, it should keep people going.

Never go for an endless drag. People get demotivated because nothing is coming out of it.

You're telling me to make a game that requires a bajillion different skills, of which I only have about half.
The total amount of work the game requires isn't much, but only a true master of game development could do it solo.
That's why I wish /v/ was cohesive enough to make games together.

>>384734758
Because 4chan isnt a community anymore.
Its a social media website now, like facebook or twitter.

>>384734758
>implying anyone with the talent/skill to make a good video game posts here
Maybe that was once the case. Maybe. Not anymore.

>The total amount of work the game requires isn't much

You have no idea what you're talking about. At the very least, you need a battle that can function in real time, with different unit types and art, AI, SFX, and animations for each. That alone is a lot of work. Not to mention you need a player character with abilities that are actually entertaining to use and affect the battle, and won't make the player quit after more than one game.

>>384737612
You'd be surprised at how easy that all is as long as you can find people who specialise in the difficult things.
Basically the only thing that I can imagine going badly is animations, because there's plenty of room for programming incompatibilities there.

>>384738334
It's "easy" in the sense that you're paying someone to do it for you. The idea doesn't sound that interesting either.

Let's see you make Pong and come back.
