One Year of Sokpop Games Subscription on Patreon

[@jmaster2710]

I absolutely love these guys! Nice to see them appear on GDC

1:43 is like trying to give a presentation to the class... i feel this so much

[@DNLKTV]

That's quite a unique approach these guys did and it is a big reason why it works for them: it is novel for the people. And how some of the games become bigger ones like Simmiland and Brume and other ones is really cool. I myself found out about Sokpop through Simmiland whuch I still have to crack the code for to make a successful playthrough.

[@Table53]

Simmiland really isn't a bad little game, it was one of the first indies I ever reviewed and when I looked into Sokpop I couldn't believe that their business model actually worked, it seemed utterly ludicrous

[@Lunareon]

What an interesting business model. The games look hilarious, too. Keep up the good work! :)

[@dXXPacmanXXb]

these guys are crazy and I am super jealous

[@dantescanline]

Cool of them to include the source code of all the games if you pay a tier. Looking forward to this becoming a standard practice

[@enzorisso]

Maybe some day, hopefuly sooner than later. I also think it should be an standard in videogames

[@BRICKLOVER9000]

I personally hope game subscriptions like these don't become too mainstream

[@Yolwoocle]

@@BRICKLOVER9000 would you mind explaining why? :) To the developers' perspective, it's cool because they get a consistent source of income without having to sorta guess how popular it would be. I'm curious to know your perspective.

[@BRICKLOVER9000]

@@Yolwoocle I shudder to think if ea adopted this

[@Yolwoocle]

@@BRICKLOVER9000 Yeah, I could see how this format might be abused. I remember being really mad at Nintendo when they announced the online pass or whatever it's called. Paying for accessing online games is just... No

[@rendiggietydog]

wow it's only been a year and a half?! feels like it's been longer than that haha, keep it up guys!!

[@Odinoian]

12:18 - "So... just make some more game!" These guys lol. They have drive! I love that they're just doing their thing 😃

[@meditationsanddimensions542]

Really good talk!

[@samuel-tome]

I love these guys!

[@samuel-tome]

Bamboo heart and The Hour of the Rat are my all-time favs!

[@mccesar18]

I loved it, just started my Patreon now, how do we can find people interest on see our page on Patreon? Thanks for all.

[@deeliciousplum]

Their games look like a lot of fun. There have been so few playful games which rival older games like Grim Fandango and Worms Armageddon. Fun games are a much needed break from all of the extremely intense and mainstream ones.

[@bedder1166]

I think it's great, but I think the self-imposed limit of 2 weeks per game is a little absurd.

[@Cargold_]

부럽다...

[@seditt5146]

I would like to know if these kids would be willing to buy other peoples simple games for a small fee to help them keep up with their schedule.

[@seditt5146]

I would love to do something like that, Spend a few weeks to a month making a game then sell it to these guys for like 500-1000$ or so which considering they are making like 4k a month it would be a decent business decision for them.

[@slyceth]

bet they make ZERO good games

[@younlok1081]

agree

[@plimbo2.0]

Their games are nice distractions for the low price.

[@chadnoneo9769]

There is a difference between trying and not trying. These devs are trying to make interesting games, not necessarily long games. The games are not exactly full experiences and it's closer to a prototype, if the game is liked they put more effort into it making a full game. Game development is getting harder and the winning idea is harder to share/gain traction, many great prototypes for games I have tried never were able to be finished due to countless factors. Another point of note is not all games are made for all players, I hate moba's and visual novels although a lot of people like both of those.

[@bonehelm]

Clearly a lot of people like their work. Their patreon is currently sitting at ~$4,300 per month. If you don't like their work then don't subscribe.

[@oopsy444]

I bet you only consider a game good based solely on length or graphics (not art) quality. It's that perception that's an issue with this industry.
