You people are the worst type of indie devs.
The people who make some kind of Unity demo where they figure out how to make a dialogue or inventory system are better, because they are putting their newfound knowledge to good use and want to strive for more.
You people shit out a half baked garbage "deep" and "retro-styled" game as an excuse to be lazy, then whine about harrassment and bullying when someone tells you simply that your spritework is
JUST SHIT
Only a few told you that they didn't like the ideas of your game and political opinions, most just said your spritework is lazy garbage.

>Are you aware of the fact that most of what is perceived as "police brutality" is the cops retaliating to people's violence? BLM breaking shit and hurting people
you act like police brutality isnt actively the most important issue in the western world right now. every major media outlet and presidential candidate in the USA has made it a top issue. do you even know what the reputation of the USA is like in the rest of the world? no? its known as a place where PoC cant even go without expecting to be shot for no reason
but i guess if youre just racist anyway then who cares right? oh god i forgot you people actually think like this ahahahahaha

aaaaand heres you over here, actively discouraging me from making this game. ive been told to leave, told what im doing is objectively bad, told that it looks like im not trying or using no effort etc etc
saying things like this while pretending to "criticize" the art is just discouragement by proxy. "hey look im totally not trying to sabotage your game but your game is awful and you should quit and leave!"
if this isnt you trying to stop me from having a career in games then what is?

I never said you should quit or leave. I just said that your spritework was garbage, which it is. You're using your pixels in a awful way and your sprites have no character or actual design effort at all.
Noodle arms and legs, no detail in the clothes of blue haired lady in skirt (not even a hippy sign or fucking anything), wasting pixels everywhere, bad animation.
Your spritework is shit, your animations are shit, you're using a baby game engine for retards and your political beliefs are falsified and horseshit.

Any asian or nig can go outside and walk around, as long as he isn't commiting any crime he won't be shot. No, people don't see America as a place where people get shot for no reason, only people what watch lefitst US media do.
Freddie Gray was resisting arrest and died to a heart attack in an ambulance.
Michael Brown died to resisting arrest and assaulting a police officer.
Just fucking leave, go back to tumblr or halfchan. No one wants you here, no one. Absolutely 0 people. Your game promotes violence to fight against a myth and supports a terrorist group who caused the biggest terrorist attack on US soil since 9/11, BLM.

So not only are you a retard but you are also illiterate apparently. Lemme quote what I said:
>Have you ever taken the time to actually inform yourself further about the happenings you hear about and not just gobble the stupid bullshit the journos and social media vomit in your mouth?
You are confirming everything I've expected you to be. Walking stereotype much?
>do you even know what the reputation of the USA is like in the rest of the world? no? its known as a place where PoC cant even go without expecting to be shot for no reason
Most western europe countries bathe in anti-cop propaganda and yet we still agree on one thing : Burgers are extremely stupid.
The millenials are even worse. They have been raised in an environment where they never face any responsibility for their acts, where they are entitled to every boon in life, and where everything leads them to believe they are the center of the world.
This leads to young people and voters being so dumb and narcissistic they aren't even capable of critical thought and never dare questioning themselves or their stance, thus giving weight and reach to the propaganda they swallow all day long.
But a place where nignogs get shot for no reason? Absolutely not. A place overrun with intersectional cucks, and where cops get bullied (except of course when they protect you or save your lives, then you suddenly bend over and suck their cocks like nothing happened)? You bet.
>PoC
>farting the racist buzzword because I disagree with your ideology, strawmanning the living shit out of my post
>you people

Pic related.
Oh and another fun little detail for you: Using the term People of Color is actually racist. By doing that you are referring to them not by the color of their skin, but by what they are not, that is white-skinned, defining them by their difference instead of what they are. People of color = people who are not white, as white isn't a color. This tells that "PoC" and white people aren't equal by your views. Conclusion? Be it either way, you are the racist one here.
I don't want to sage, so I'm still going to talk about your game:
Clouds are supposed to be high up in the sky, too high up to make their height difference easily discernible. The sky pattern is too thin, making it a repetitive eyesore (looping is good but has to be discrete). Doors are too small for your character proportions. Everything makes no sense.
Wait a minute lemme look at the sky again
ARE YOU REALLY USING AUTO GRADIENTS IN A FUCKING PIXELART GAME
You are reuniting every fucking indieshit stereotype. If this is bait, it's fucking caviar. Otherwise you are the worst kind of retard.

While the spritework is pretty poor and the concept borders on offensive, you're all getting pretty fucking riled up over this. We have had our fair deal of shitty retro graphics (I know Risk of Rain looked much better than this shit, but it's the perfect example of "retro pixel graphics never looked like this" that's being mentioned around) and nobody has been triggered this much over it. I mean, people are genuinely enraged to the point some people seem to be blinded by their own fury. This is ridiculous.
I mean, so much for "games are about mechanics", and people here in this thread consider the game to be its ideology and its art. It's true that OP hasn't posted much about his actual game (which may signal some actual serious top level baiting), but I am not sure how the fuck did this post manage to get 100 replies despite being so shit; actual good games in /agdg/ don't get this many replies, and shit games definitely don't get anywhere near this amount of attention.
I am just going to ask you to calm the fuck down. Some people are starting not to make any sense, this amount of salt is just mind-blowingly ridiculous. Reflect on yourselves: would you be so mad about this "game" if it was about a nazi SS soldier smacking down Jews down the street? I mean, same game, just with recolorings of some sprites. I guess the dev would get some spare posts commenting on how horrible the game looks, but nowhere near this amount of pure unadulterated rage. Basically, you are just triggered that this game offended you just like the nazi game would be offensive if it was posted in tumblr. Really, calm the fuck down, I thought we were supposed to hold the moral high ground in this regard.
tl;dr congratulations, you got yourself caught! What's the next step of your master plan?

Controversy generates activity.
What made me roast this degenerate were two reasons. First, the amount of dishonest laziness coming from this faggot, present in the work and thoughts he put into his project. Lack of direction, lack of research, lack of thought, lack of skills (always grind them to a minimum before making anything you wish to publish), and on top of that the shoehorning of political views put in top priority before anything else in the game, virtue-signaling like crazy.
Second, the response to the negative criticism he received. Being a total nodev and a newfag is ok, but doubling down on stupidity and calling people harassers, goofy goobers and racist for disliking his game and political views makes him deserve all the flak he gets for his behaviour.
I can only speak for myself, but I can understand why the other anons are incinerating him. Such attitude is insulting to any hard-working, honest dev out there.

No offense, but you've got some massively unwarranted self importance the way you're acting.
Anyways, while I appreciate your spirit and determination in wanting to make a game/stand your ground, you really shouldn't be acting like you're making a magnum opus that'd "improve" the community, making AMAs and all that. You're not Tim Schafer. You're not Brianna Wu or whoever the Hell you idolize.
On first glance, most people would see a hilariously unpolished turd from the sprites alone.
I also find it hilariously hypocritical that your game preaches against police brutality while your main protagonist goes around violently smashing her Hammer/Axe/lazily drawn sign at police men minding their own business.
Friendly advice: Don't say you're using drag and drop or Gamemaker. It shows how shitty and new you are to this. If you're legitimately interested in making a game, learn coding.
One more thing: Stop being a tumblr faggot that gives a shit about ableism, uses words like gross as if you were 5 years old, etc. We here honestly don't give 2 shits about it, and nobody here likes an agenda pushing faggot.

Fun is actual gameplay, mechanics and shit. Being able to be invested in the world the game takes place in. It doesn't need:
>meaningful stories and characters
This is just a major bonus and selling point that attracts people.
Honestly though, seeing
>fixing culture is fun
>making people aware of how shitty they are
makes me (and many others) see you as some agenda pushing bitch that doesn't give two shits about making a fun, enjoyable experience, but only to "fix" and guilt anyone who happens to buy/take the shit you peddle like a Jehova's witness or some shit.

Almost 9 million people are arrested annually, a good portion of them black, and only a few hundred, rightly or wrongly, have been killed by the police in the process.
White people are killed too, at nearly the same numbers that blacks are relative to their crime rate. I'm sure you knew that already though. You're not some kind of hypocrite that gets emotionally invested in the 3 to 5 cases of police brutality that the media "exposes" each year in a country of 330 million people, are you? The number of people killed by police are statistically insignificant and not surprising considering the environment they are trained to work in.

In 99% of cases (8,730,665 arrests, 1146 deaths - the plurality of which being justified) this is true, even if they are arrested for committing a crime.

Made a few mistakes with this post i.e. the "rightly or wrongly" should just be wrongly, and of course I'd pick an image featuring a year when just over 9 million arrests were made to say "almost 9 million people are arrested annually", and then cite more recent data in the end where there weren't quite 9 million arrests. Christ. Anyway, you get my point I hope.

so why should i go through all the trouble of learning something like coding when the tools are available to make a great game without it. waste of time
again holy shit like how hard is it for you to understand this
i hate programmers who are elitists about coding. have fun spending 4+ years working on some shitty game that you never finish?oh but thats cool all that matters is that its made in unreal engine and features "actual gameplay" haha

Hi,
I'm the head developer of the #BlackLivesMatter game mentioned above. I received an email from someone about
the game and its art being used by someone for a different game about police brutality. I had a feeling I knew who the person was going to turn out to be, and I'm sorry to say my suspicions were correct.
The characters posted on this page were drawn by our other developer during a gamejam event last year which is where this person here got them from. The person who posted them here was a part of our gamejam group, but is NOT a part of our development team for our BLM game, and she does not have the legal right to use them in any other game. Our game is, of course, a BLM/activist satire, not a game about police brutality.

No you don't. While it exists, copyright doesn't require a formal "license" of any sort to actually be enforced and is considered to be in effect when a work is affixed in a tangible medium. He will need to register it formally in the event that he actually sues you.

Unfortunately neither of us is in the USA so things might work a bit differently here.
To the developer: I have no idea what the law comes down to. But for the record, you and everyone else in the MGJ group knows that you had no part in helping create that art or any other part of the game. Correct me if I'm wrong but you simply sat several feet away from the rest of the group never contributing anything. Now, a year later, when you heard that we were turning it into a full game, you decided NOT to work with us even though you were invited, but decided instead to make a game about almost the same thing we're making our game about, using the same art assets?
No, I guess I can't stop you from using them because I'm not going to sue you or something. We have the original photoshop animations and everything else just for the record. I would have preferred that you contacted one of us on Skype instead of me having to find out about this here. It's clear you don't want to be civil about it, and that's fine. Best of luck in whatever it is you're trying to do, but I don't think you'll get very far treating colleagues like this.
