17:14 I'm a game developer and I 100% agree with this. Adding even a small amount of decent looking placeholder and polish feels really good and makes your playtesting more enjoyable

Regarding Thor and raising the price from $3 to $5 for VS, he said he didn't like it. It was coming from the perspective of taking advantage of your customers, a cash grab basically. I mostly agree with Thor's point, but disagree in the case of VS specifically, because I think $3 was undervalued. If I'm not mistaken, the $5 version of the game has a lot more content than the original $3 release. I don't think anybody who would pay for the $3 version will feel taken advantage of for the $5 version.

I watched that first video the day it came out, I was part of that spike. So happy for this guy. He made something amazing. You're probably going to cover this but using the casino style sounds really helps the dopamine loop, made to be addictive in the best way.

I just started watching splattercat vids for a short time and saw the vamp survivors vid when it came out and went ahead and bought it straight away b/c is was looking for some little cheap fun things to fill some time with. Fun in retrospect to have been able to ride this little wave from so close to the origin.

"His arms were wheels" LMAO

Wow that Battletoads memory is so real. I was the tunnel kid. My dad and brother would hand me the controller to get to the next level. I think there was a warp that skipped the ice level right? And went to the snake level. Then you could warp on the snake level too and skip to the upward elevator level.

Hopefully Prime reacts to other game documentaries like this :D

I have a different take on only building things to "prototype stage": It really depends on what your goals are. I often work on projects just as a research project to learn something new or better understand how something works. I also write code just purely for entertainment. There are also things I write as a utility for my own use that I never make into something someone else will ever use (example: Photoshop's radial blur sucks so I wrote my own radial blur as a command line program that only reads and writes raw images. Same for gausian blur, fractal noise, etc. They are much easier for *my* workflow than using Photoshop.)

Crimsonland was my first introduction to these types of games

21:35 This (investing time for things that others don't care about) applies to so many things: at least to music and photography (for those I have personal experience). Eventually you'll care about details that no one else will notice or care about excluding, obviously, some other musicians and photographers. You still have to do it because otherwise what are you doing? Producing stuff that you don't care about? That you think is basic shit? And you'll just continue doing stuff that you can do in your sleep? I.e. something you'd do for minimum wage. It's fine if you're getting paid but in most cases, you're not.

39:35 "Vampire Survivors 2 will be in PHP." Sure...why not? The only downside is that PHP doesn't really have a lot of extensions to interface with graphical libraries like OpenGL and what does exist are mostly prototype sorts of things. So that will be the major pain point, but PHP can handle a game loop just fine. Is it the best language for writing an action game in? Probably not. Then again, Kingdom of Loathing still exists and no one's really sure what language it is written in.

The reason so many people pushed back on the "use ai generated images for prototyping" is because we shouldn't be normalising using stolen artwork, even if it's not for the final product. I agree, it's super important to have your game look good in the development stage for motivation and testing. But a free asset pack will do that way better, take considerably less time, and use art on the terms of the artist, without costing any money. People will eventually show off their prototype to their friends or social media, even if it might not be the best thing to do, but that advertises the artist who made the pack and it's one of the reasons they make free assets. Also, you might be unintentionally persuading people to spend money and time on midjourney to get their art to look better or how they want it. Where as that transitional stage of starting to spend money on your project would be better spent supporting the artists on asset packs these AIs steal from.

What Thor said was that no one should just increase the price because their game got popular, it is trying to squeeze extra money from people after you already made a lot of money, the only excusable reason would be because a currency depreciated a lot really fast. The argument is not that the game is not worth 2 usd more, the argument is that the original price is what the dev/publisher thought it was worth, and after the fact they change the price, alienating new users because it costs more.

21:55 that feeling of releasing a game but no one caring hurts so much lol. You spend all this time on something, you know all the issues but you still publish it because you hope that you're just overly critical and then you put it out and dead silence. My game wasn't complicated or particularly pretty but I put in work to make it feel as good as I could, and it's still not enough. I'd recommend putting a number of small games out and just burn through that feeling a few times, eventually you'll build an audience (they say).
