Programming a game during your wedding? Rude.

As the groom is saying his vows, the best man slowly produces a laptop and starts furiously typing.

All his other posts got strangled in the crib, but hey, might as well blow money on buying upvotes for release day, right?

I amazed imgur doesn't care about this considering the constant ads disguised as posts are stopping a ton of people paying for ad free.

This is honestly the BEST trailer for such a game. I fking love it! Thanks for sharing!!!

Reminds me of Metal Gear 2 on NES where you sneak past a guard by making an owl hoot so the guard thinks it's night IN BROAD DAYLIGHT (1/2)

and falls asleep. Except this actually seems to make sense in the context of this game.

Any plans for a Linux build? Seems like it would be a neat Steam Deck game.

I love the little lens flare effect. It looks like a Gurren Lagann eyecatch / Instagram Kirakira filter / Yoshinori Kanada mecha show.

He was standing only 47 cigar boxes away at the time

Avg cigar box size is 12x12 so pretty easy conversion honestly. This washing machine guy is off his rocker though

That's about 3 washing machines. Don't check my math.

How does the analog clock know if you meant AM or PM?

Probably the same way the clock is changing the time of day. Wizard did it.

That was my thought. I'd definitely buy a game like the one in the OP if it hit the Switch.

Why is it you folks only pop up when someone is showing off a game they made, and not anything else? Like crafts at an Etsy shop?

4 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 11

Because the crafts industry didn't write documents about how companies can manipulate Imgur users?

4 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 1

I can only speak for myself, but I'm more likely to look at a videogame post due to my own interests than a random craft project post. ¹

To find that the post is an ad, and that there's been a manual written about how to get your indie game to the FP is irritating. But I'm ²

⬆️ This. As a small game developer (is a hobby for now. I'm not sure if I would be able to sell it), I'm afraid of sharing my progress here

4 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 7

because of that reason.

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 3

Please, share your progress! We like cute stories, technical deep dives, etc. Just not "here's a thing, and here's how to pay for it."

4 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 1

The anti-ad folks have said on just about every ad that we're punishing blatant ads by non-community members. Being engaged 1/2

4 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

In the community and showing off your work (especially actual progress or technical accomplishments) is warmly accepted.

4 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Maybe try being less negative and more supportive of people's creative efforts. Or just say nothing if you're going to be mean.

As someone who loves small indie games, I love when imgurians post about their games and progress. But OP is ONLY using this as ad space

4 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

OP in your link is part of the community. @OP isn't. Only posts about this game and the few comments are on their own posts. Not comparable.

4 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

While I think your point is irrelevant and stupid - what about the hot sauce one? No anti-ad messages on there either.

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

I'm not exactly trying to win. I want to find out why Imgurians (who are on average quite nerdy) dislike games so much. It's very puzzling.

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

When did I say they're good? I've never seen that post before, and if that OP strictly promotes their product then no, they're not good.

4 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Well I'm not talking only about you, but about everyone who complains about ads on game posts, and are strangely missing from all other ads.
