Trannies are diversity hires so no it won't be.

But seriously, to understand all the 3D math so you can efficiently do stuff, that takes years. And then the same for mastering art, programming, etc etc. You could literally spend an entire lifetime if you were going to 1MA a game like say, Morrowind, especially if you wrote the engine from scratch

look up beethoven and newton, they were pretty autistic and never had a wife/gf.

So is having your gaming skills praised by the media. Even if this>>15233262

guy exists gaming is just seen as another social outlet for virtue signalling so he won't get any attention. And like it or not, you guys get your news from many of the same sources you claim to hate.

I have no idea what the hell you're on about.

Shit takes years. A decent portion of /agdg/, myself included, would fall under 1ma, but it's far easier to just make a kikestarter and pay people to do shit while you sit on your ass. Learning how to do everything takes fucking ages, and with how long it takes, it remains hard to keep yourself in check and stay on one project. Kikestarter faggots have the added benefit of making shekels off of it, or a legal responsibility to deliver I wish, but most 1MAs are unknowns, and since marketing is yet another thing they'll have to do on their own (whereas Kickstarter is it's own marketing tool), so they'll never be big successes, and as such, be drowned in the storepages of whatever store they're sold on.

Autism can only take you so far

Vidya is the some of the most complex and tedious shit on the planet to produce, being comprised of every single field of digital artistry, that each by themselves can take years of dedication in addition to natural skill to get good at

If you have any actual standard of quality, then doing all that by yourself would take a large chunk out of your life even if you only want to make a small and simple game

look up genius polymaths.

>(whereas Kickstarter is it's own marketing tool)

Bullshit, if you don't market a kickstarter, especially if that kickstarter has a goal that could reasonably be enough to get the thing funded, then you're never going to reach that goal

I've seen kickstarters fail because the devs chose to spend the time and money they had on a playable demo instead of marketing

Chris Sawyer already happened, and Spiderweb Software only consists of Jeff Vogel and his wife. Also, while he uses a development team, Jonathan Blow made his own language so he can develop his 3rd game faster.

We may not have a true 1MA, but I think this is as close as we're gonna get.

You only really need to know about music to compose it, you need to have several skill sets and know math to make a video game. The comparison with Beethoven sucks, Beethoven, as genius as he was, would only be making your soundtrack.
