My summer vacation, cada día en el juego es un día de verano en la vida real, la idea es jugar cada cachito cuando toca. Hay remake de hace pocos años en steam!

And last thing... I am betting on AI making games soon so these secretive clients can flock to those kinds of devs that openly state in their header they "are merged with AI". You can't even fucking imagine how happy I'll be when those start being a big group of people.

Also, FUCK THE WEB. WORST MISTAKE IN HUMANITY, EVER! And that comes from a dev that uses an html5 engine and IS betting on web platforms being the future 🤣
In this topic I agree with Jonathan Blow, which isn't a usual thing

But yeah, bottom line is I hope clients that act like making games is the same as making websites even after insisting the levels of complexity there is never have a cold side in their pillow. And that their phone charger fits, but not quite, and it falls off easily without them seeing it.

There are ways to manipulate and social-engineer boundaries in these cases, but I'm not built for that. I just want to make games, man, and I've seen more bags in my eyes than usual these two years. Sheesh. Hope some independent work can heal me this year; Best team I could wish for so here's hoping

I won't mention the things that happened or were said to me, but they are akin to being spoken as a child by an old dog that works in marketing but knows "business" so acts like they know yours then don't want to learn anything. So much pretentious distance that it inevitably breaks everything.

THAT IS how insulting things can get. Working in good faith then told that "they could get it cheaper" which is classic freelancing, but gems like "you are just a copywriter, what you do is mine" even when the money was from international grants and you are outsourcing 100%. That happens mid-dev.

I have heard from top 10 indie developers that back when freelancers, clients HIRED "mobile game development studios" as consultants because they didn't like how the Hades-inspired game was being developed by a single person that was doing an INCREDIBLE job at developing and communicating.

The games suffered, and oh fuck if I tried, I even finished some projects after a client almost did *a very stupid and sad thing* just in case they came back to the senses. To me this was never for money, I would be doing something other than games then.

I can't say how bad things got, but there were definitely things that would make 100% of devs instantly get out. And it came from people that you wouldn't even suspect from. And in the end it's pity I feel, I wish I could have helped but things got in their head and antagonized everyone.
