INDIE VS. AAA GAMES #shorts

[dylanisaking]

As an indie developer the urge to add the stupidest fucking Easter eggs ever is insane

[maevem]

And the employees of the AAA studio *still* haven't slept in three days either

As a game developer I can confirm my game has literal Morse code in it

[lunereclise]

I love all the random easter eggs indie game devs add they are most of the time fun to find

I briefly worked administration for an indie game development company, I was treated like a god when I stocked the fridge with protein shakes, coffee, energy drinks, Gatorade, and water. They made me feel so happy I also brought in a ton of snacks the next day on my own dime because I just wanted to support the team, it was the best feeling ever lol

Edit; wow you guys are the best, thank you for all your kind comments!! Just to share some details: refilling the drink fridge was apart of my actual job description - all the beverages were paid for by the company I just had to make sure they were always available - I was going to the store basically daily which is why they were so happy because apparently I was the first receptionist they had that was so diligent about making sure EVERYTHING was always in stock instead of just waiting until the fridge was low enough to do a big restock, that’s why they treated me so nicely lol I also took flavour requests so I was probably being buttered up so they could get the flavour they wanted which is fine by me lol.

Since I was going to the store everyday, when they started selling those Halloween packs of snacks and chocolates and stuff I thought it would be nice to get some of those of course I didn’t use the company card for snacks because I wasn’t approved to buy snacks, I also got dried fruits and nuts for the health conscious people. THAT day was when they really started treating me like my shit doesn’t stink lol, next level niceness, I felt like a royal. It really was a wonderful job and I would still be there if I didn’t have to move. and for anyone worried about me using my own money for snacks, it really didn’t break the bank at all for me and it made me and everyone so happy it was absolutely worth it.

As an indie game developer, "I haven't slept in 3 days" is the most relatable thing ever (mostly during a game jam)

[DragoRaRaRa]

Dear game devs. JUST MAKE SURE YOUR GAME IS FUN TO PLAY. You can do the easter eggs and lore later. Make sure i enjoy playing the game and the rest will come easy.

That's actually so accurate my dad works for a game company and he comes home angry almost every day cause they keep pushing his team to put out the game THAT IS NOT READY

[RShonta]

Indies: Don't worry guys, we have been informed of a small bug and we're releasing a patch to clear that up!
Speedrunners: Awww, but that bug shaved off ten seconds
Indies: Oh my bad *unpatches bug*

My wifes friend was one of the devs for candy crush and this is legit the vibe of the convo when her and I geek out over horror media

[davidace]

Larian Studios over here having indie game dev studio attitude with AAA projects

[jklroxmysox]

Important to remember that the individual dev employees at AAA studios might have that same level of passion but they aren’t allowed to express it and/or don’t have time because of strict deadlines and crunches

[SarahCarvela]

The fact that this came out months before bg3 sent AAA devs into a spiral 😂

[EdwardoLover]

This is so accurate it's nuts.
The Sims 4 dine out came out ago and you still spend like 8 hours at a restaurant

[Comfy_Gaming]

As a game dev student I can attest to the first one being accurate af
I’m only in my first year and I’m already on death schedules

[makbran]

I hide my name in every game I make to assert dominance. No one ever finds it because it’s in the credits

[SusDoctor]

I love adding easter eggs even that only my friends might understand lol

[River-is-unstable]

The first one is Matpat when he analyzes games



(I’m so sad he’s quitting I wish he wasn’t 😭😭😭)

"Please do not remove the coconut jpeg from the game file, the game will stop working if you do. We don't know how, we just know that we tried removing it and the game would not start."

Noita, Death Road to Canada, ect... Indie games are just so fun.
