I am not exactly an indie dev (and I'd rather mod my ideas rather than do an entire game)
But I have been having these ideas lately about "vocational" types of games and such. Aka various job simulators, yeah. I am curious about maaany fields of work and I'd love to experience them in a form of a videogame at least, which imo has the potential to be an extremely educational format for this.

>a realistic factory manager simulator
>a realistic military simulator - from intelligence to piloting drones to rocket management to stormtrooping
>a simulator of laying down internet cables across the world (i am just curious how its done lol)
>being head of economics manager simulator (ie changing interest rates etc, trying to stay afloat)

Now obviously this is an already existing genre so there's probably a lot of stuff like these.
One of the most memorable of these for me was an "economic strategy game" from my childhood where you needed to manage wildlife conservation policies to upkeep the population of wild leopards in the Far East. The devs behind this game even said they will implement the best strategies irl. You had to manage policies towards feeding the prey animals in places where leopards live, funding animal sanctuaries, actually asking for funding period, managing policies against poachers, doing interviews and persuading famous people to your cause, etc etc. It's actually quite hard and I still can't understand how to win.
Now, the leopard population did improve nowadays since 2007 when the game was released or so… So maybe this worked.
Pic related, "Save the leopard" or Спасти леопарда. Maybe this is a good target for reverse engineering for the purposes of translation but it seems like a very hard project.

Btw, I keep seeing that people are making actual computers in Terraria and Minecraft. This is has the potential to be very educational, so maybe like a mod with directions on how to do this. (a map with all the resources free and available from the start)

I think there already are programs that let you model computers, right? I wonder what else there is to Terraria and Minecraft. Also maybe there could be a chapter on ACE or something.

I hope this is okay to post as it's related. I started making an indi game based off my story the Wooden Prince. I am trying to be an author and also got into making this. :)

The hardest part is making the character art.

The gender ratio in STEM fields correlates with the gender ratio of autism. And transgenderism.

I'm making my own game but I larp as a man online to avoid harassment

>>29324
I don't even know how to pay for it. The last time I tried it took me 30 minutes of work, I had to change the password of my email box because I forgot what it was, it requested a phone number for no reason and wouldn't accept free burners and I decided to accept that they won the fight.
2 minutes latter I was downloading it. No question asked.
This isn't about money.

I sometime have to kill it do do a thing but otherwise it can run on the background. We are trying to live in a society.

Yes. But I have lost two external hds of pirated media and my own artwork. I wish I could sue.

>>38353
I would but my storage would die a grisly death, my Spotify local files are already slowly killing it

I used to pirate obscure movies I otherwise wouldn't have access to.

These days I'm a payfag. I do use youtube to listen to music.

Piracy is based but emulators are so hard. I'm trying to get into Resident Evil and I wanna play the classic games before the remakes so I'm trying to get emulators to work but you need to download so much shit for them and it turns out I need Windows 11 even though I've heard Windows 11 sucks so ugh

You haven't watched the X files or Fringe? Or have you? Hooo boy

>>39840
Not miniseries but you need to watch them. Especially X files.

>>39841
>>39840
I watched X-files growing up, I've actually been meaning to rewatch it because as a child it made me a bit scared and I didn't understand all of it… Thank you for mentioning it, I'll definitely rewatch it this year

>>39829
Hey, I like both cute and monstrous anthro men (as long if they are sweet and caring)

For me I wish they are more straight buff, bulky and chubby anthro himbos with human gals too. I don't want too much gayness in my favorite kind of fluffy husbandos

>>39833
Sexual dimorphism is willing subjugation and its fucking ross

Honestly its mostly moids that find it attractive for each other, men don't care what actually attracts women. They just harass them into looking at other ugly males

>>39834
You need a hug

>>39836
We do

>Hungarian notation
It makes my head hurt

>>39488
>>39489
Yes, it's Kanako from Touhou
I guess her being a snake is more of a pun, I think she's more like Python because she derives her following by being trendy and being all things to all people

>>39638
Not to defend Hungarian notation, but Linus is generally an incompetent moron who is worshipped by midwits for his loud opinions. He's a posterboy for Linux and Git, nothing else; he hasn't written a single line of modern Linux or Git.

Trying to extract resource files (images, etc) from the source now. Seems easy, I just followed what https://misthi0s.dev/posts/2026-02-25-extract-resource-ghidra/ said and you basically just export the resources from the label folder in symbol tree. Then you export that as a program and change the file extension to the correct one. That is provided nothing is encrypted or whatever.

Interesting how the resource hacker couldn't find this for some reason, nor is there an open source resource hacker on github. Maybe I should make my own idk.

I fixed some of the old stuff, found some new functions to hook, and now I want to see how feasible it would be to replace images with my own.

C# and JavaScript for work (webdev please kill me). For light personal stuff I use Python and for heavier personal stuff C#. I've dabbled in a few other languages like Java and Rust. Tried making games a few times but always fell off for one reason or another. Hard to have fun when you do the same thing for work.

>>39465
Agreed. Been doing webdev for 8 years now and it's all the same shit no matter where you go. I'm so fucking tired of it but at this point I can't branch out into anything else without starting from zero.

I like when the really strong character is dumb as hell

>>39409
Nodding enthusiastically

When the tough characters are secret softies

>>39409
So himbos?

Anyways I like it when the punching bag girlfailures get their revenge like Meg Griffin chewing out her family and shit

I like over the top mental breakdown moments. Flat eyes, manic laughter, holding the head and screaming into the void. Idk why I'm like this

>>39445
Samefag and does this mean all the fujos have left CC? What a sorry state of affairs

Anime no but I do have some M/M ships I like

>>39818
Tell me. I also have non-anime ships, I am an equal opportunist when it comes to canon or potential homo.

>>34790
Anal is only gross and wrong when it's a guy fucking a girl in the ass, a girl pegging a guy or guy on guy is ok with me

>>39819
I wanna watch FNAF characters bang does that count? Also sometimes I like R63ing myself to make my yumes yaoi ships, ditto for making R63 of the guy except that's yuri/hime stuff

I don't care as long as I find the character appealing myself.

I don't really care if a character I like is appealing to moids. If I cared about that, I couldn't like so many female characters as most things in life are for made for them. Also they're fictional and I usually don't apply my beliefs when it comes to fiction

>>39250
It's okay, nona. Characters can have awesome or cringe coomer weaboo design and still be cool as fuck at the same time

Just because a product features a character with a large bust doesn't necessarily mean it's aimed at the scrote coomers.

Chracter is Kanade Oe from "Chihayafuru" (anime based from a Josei manga)

>>39472
moids can get off to an extra curvy piece of driftwood. trying to make a character who "doesn't attract the male gaze" is a fool's errand. just make a character who has an actual identity as a person. some women have boobs, that's just how it is. I like Chie in Kaya-chan Isn't Scary.

korra is not a shonen… it's not even an anime

I’m watching jujutsu kaisen and it’s all just shonen tropes over and over

>uh yeah I’m the quirky flawless genius sexyman who will take 50% of the screentime
>I am the mc and I’m also a quirk chungus except I’m also retarded
>any strong character in a battle: omg my opponent is so strong he fucked me so hard in the ass I’m excited

I definitely had some others I noticed but can’t recall em right this instant

>>39821
This is why Mahou Shoujo is better

>>38922
Such an awesome series. I'd get high during adolescence and cry at the fact that the characters get to explore the world and go on these adventures.

>>38919
for me, it's Rumiko Takahashi
