They fucking ruined me guys. I was hired by a game developer, and so happy, finally I'd get my chance to make my dream game I wanted to make for YEARS. And then it got cancelled during the fucking concept stages, CONCEPT. Got told that it just didn't seem that interesting of a game idea. It was supposed to be a cyberpunk fighting game, think something in the vein of SFV or the new KoF, but with a heavy cyberpunk aesthetic, people using guns, cyberninjas, etc.
Know what they did? They fucking canned this game, my goddamn dream, and guess what they replace it with? They canned it to make a goddamn MOBA. They cancelled a fucking fighting game, a genre of the pinnacle of skill, for this? This is a goddamn insult. Worst yet, the theme of it is "dark fantasy", so it's not even like I'd get to work on a cyberpunk themed moba, no, I'm stuck helping design some fucking gay ass fantasy shit. Fuck the game industry, fuck ALL OF IT
pic related is the kind of aesthetic they're going for
How? Because they ripped my dream away from me and are making me work on a fucking moba? A goddamned motherfucking MOBA? We have tons of those already, we don't have cyberpunk fighting games. Do we really need another isometric view game with tiny character models based on stupid random shit fighting in a gay ass generic forest?

fighting games are fucking boring if you arent autistically good at them user
Aiden Diaz
Mobas are boring even if you are good at them. They take very little skill compared to fighters, fighters require execution, mobas you just click qwer and right click shit.
Kevin Howard
Nothing's stopping you from working on it in your spare time
Xavier Bell
>cyberpunk fighting games opponent gets hacked and glitched out before even starting to fight. lol.
Nathan Powell
They were right, a more gothic type of MOBA is what you need, but you have to go all in and make it drop in rng team faction based.
Take that large fucking city as the arena, and design a map around 5 fortifiable points, each with 3 main paths the AI troops must funnel through.
This way the game will depend on a network of FOB, where your units you successfully escort repair bases to spawn more units forward + towers.
There should always be the two standard teams, and the future drop in teams can be diplomatically leveraged.
Basically drop in teams are easily destroyed and must bargain to stay allied, betrayal can only occur if a Roshan like item is provided.

Why don't you fucking quit, you pussy? I'm tired of seeing your stupid fucking threads on Cred Forums, all you do is bitch about what YOU are choosing to fucking do. So, either quit the fucking job, or don't and I hope it fails so fucking hard they repo everything you own. Fucking retard
Aiden Taylor
>They were right, a more gothic type of MOBA is what you need,
How is it what we need? We have tons of mobas, adding sickdark shit to it doesn't make it better. We have no cyberpunk fighting games.
Robert Bailey
playing invoker and meepo can be fun as fuck but everything else is true, not to mention the fact that making a new moba when the market is beyond saturated is comical and i dont know how someone in charge of a company could be so disconnected from reality. could say the same about releasing a fighting game too though considering the complete and utter lack of demand
Wyatt Thompson
We havent tons of fighting games adding Cyberpunk shit to.it doesn't make it better.
Christopher Price
Cyberpunk does make it better, because all these fighters out now are mostly silly anime shit, cyberpunk would be different and fucking badass. Like cyberninjas fighting soldiers with laser rifles and shit in gritty rainy city streets at night with neon signs, and 80s music. Wtf would a dark fantasy moba offer, besides sickdark looking arenas and characters, and the same old tired easy ass gameplay?
Samuel Wilson
You fucking described Mortal Kombat you fucking bitch
Isaac White
They are right your idea sounds boring.
Charles Campbell
MK isn't cyberpunk.
Leo Wright
How? How does it sound boring, no fighting game out has that aesthetic. Meanwhile there's tons of fantasy mobas.
Cooper James
this is the same shitpost as the one before about a cyberpunk game getting canceled for a dark souls fantasy clone
you guys are dumb
Anthony Wood
Because there are tons of fighting games. Adding an aesthetic doesn't make it interesting
Jonathan Rogers
There are more mobas than fighters, and making a moba is suicide since no one is gonna play anything but LoL and Dota 2 anyway. Epic making Paragon was a stupid waste of money.
Jayden Ramirez
Let's see here >cyber soldiers >cyborgs with lazer beams >gritty 80s theme
Brody Rodriguez
It's copypasta. I miss the superior limb based combat guy.
My game idea was gonna be like that in aesthetic, not lame ass MK with its ching chong bullshit.
Cooper Nguyen
>hired by a company >expect to work on a personal wankoff project instead of a product that will actually cover the cost of development
Evan Cooper
I thought it was the superior limb based combat guy
Eli Gray
Kek
Eli White
I know it's copy pasta, but the sad part is from all the threads I hide due to being trash, this pasta is the only thing that qualifies for interesting game discussion.
Everyone is a cynic, console fanboy, or shitter that derail ontopic threads.
The fact no repercussions occur for derailment since people on Cred Forums let it slide now is retarded. This and the mmorpg thread are the only ones that talk about game play.
Aiden Martinez
Why would anyone try to build an entire game around just an aesthetic theme? That's just setting yourself up for failure.
Mason Harris
I missed these threads
Dylan Murphy
No one buys fighting games OP
Jace Wright
But they told me I could, then fucking cancelled it. And all to make a fucking moba.
Carson Ross
Yeah, despite EVO having the highest viewership in years? And over 5,000 entrants to play SFV?
Meanwhile only mobas anyone p;lays are lol and dota
Joshua Russell
to be fair both ideas are pretty shit. Fighting games dont sell unless they're already established franchises and MOBAs are just shit.
What you should have pitched was a survival horror game where you play as a girl trapped in a haunted cheese cake factory. There is no life bar but the phantom food force feeds you and if you eat too much you become immobile and get a game over. you could lose weight from walking or random exercise machines. guess it would be kinda like yume penguin meets luigi's mansion.
Ayden Cook
worse, Mortal Kombat with neon shit all over it. Attaching "cyberpunk" as a qualifier instead of what he's really going for: " retard's idea of the 80s". Maybe he's a troll and he thinks people would defend MOBAs over fighting games?
Who the hell knows, the whole gist of this thread is rediculous.
Christopher Edwards
Is that pic from a Heroes of Might & Magic? Really looks like something that could be from one.
