Main Roster
Starters
Position | No. | Name | Image | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
GK | 60 | Godot | The world of game engines is a brutal one when it comes to selection, but the libre Godot engine is trying her best for you. Give her a shot, give up, and then fall right back into the GameMaker pit. | |
LB | 64 | Cornflower Blue | Its gotten to the point where we've declared colors memes. We only have a finite number of these you know, if we go too wild here eventually every color will be a meme and society will collapse in on itself!
Fun Fact: This row being blue does not have any special significance beyond the obvious. | |
CB | 42 | Oculus Shit | Even before Facebook got involved people were already getting a bit over VR. Oh wow look it's another "stand in place and shoot targets" game. Have fun paying $40 for half a tech demo because of the system having a install base only slightly larger than the Virtual Boy. | |
CB | F2 | Stealing Assets | No one's going to play your game anyway, so who cares? Modeling is hard and artdevs are mythical so just throw Mario in there and give him a gun. Now we're making progress!
Fun Fact: This character has no name beyond "comfy pirate". It's a model that predates the team that was made publicly available to game devs for fun. The original creator of this model still visits /agdg/ and was surprised to see her playing divegrass. | |
RB | CC | /ccg/ | Once upon a time there was an AGDG "game" that was so popular among its posters that in order to protect the sanctity of the general it was driven out. This game was Cookie Clicker, and in the wastes of /vg/ it thrived, becoming Cookie Clicker General. Eventually it became the more generalized general of Idle Games General.
Then it died, whoops. But at the very least we can hold onto this one piece of /ccg/ forever more, a relic of a really fucking addictive and obnoxious time in our collective past. | |
AMF | 11 | Motavio | Patron saint of proactive motivation, a rugged looking Italian(?) man always waiting in the wings to beat your ass if you slack off for too long. A lot of us wish we had someone like this in our lives, so instead we try to be it for each other.
Fun Fact: This Motavio model is actually a recreation of a long lost model that we knew of from only one rendered image. It was the creator's first effort in blender. Good hustle! | |
DMF | AA | Googum | Existing paradoxically between the absolutes of the nodev and the yesdev is Googum, a living meme. He makes game, but yet still acts out like a nodev. Where is his solace, where is his respect, and why the fuck isn't anyone contributing to his Patreon?
Fun Fact: Googum is a real person but insists only posting with only a trip-less name, so the fake shitposting in his name might be immense... but that doesn't really feel like the case here. | |
RMF | 24 | Asset Posting | For most posting progress comes down to showing off a new mechanic or solving a troublesome bug. A few rare souls instead show off their art and models almost exclusively. It's all very nice but uh, is there a game attached to this? If there isn't can I use these assets? Please? No, I can't pay bu- oh alright. Thanks anyways. | |
LMF | 1 | Singleton Dog | The singleton dog knows nothing of the world of man. His only desire is to exist forever, apart and unique. This is all he has ever known, and it is the way it must be. | |
SS | F5 | Give Up | Every single day the desire may appear: "it'd be so easy to just stop wouldn't it?". The /agdg/ road is a hard road, it is a road you will want to leave. You must push through the pain, for off the beaten path exists only ruin and really shitty opinions.
Fun Fact: Phil Fish helped create a popular video game (Fez) and then instantly became a "jaded" shitlord who promptly ragequit the entire industry. As far as anyone is aware he's a DJ somewhere in California now. Personal Awards: /ag/ League 2: Autism Harder Golden Ball (9 assists over 6 games) | |
CF | 6A | Just Like Make Game | Follow your dreams and some day your games will be good. People will play them! It's gonna be so good! You're going to make a world, a world others will experience! Once it's done no one will ever be able to take that from you! It will be yours, forever! Embrace /agdg/-tan and just fucking suck it up already!
Fun Fact: /agdg/-tan isn't actually from a game, people just like drawing waifus. The creator of this model is unknown, and it predates the existence of this team by a fairly large margin. |
Substitutes
Position | No. | Name | Image | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
GK | 4 | Unreal Engine 4 | Lets be professionals about this. Lets be real. Lets use what the pros use. All these reasons and more are not good reasons to give Epic Games your money, but hey at least it's not GameMaker.
| |
LB | 16 | nodev | So it happened: you gave up, or maybe you never even started? But you still want to be a part of /agdg/, and wow is that a bad idea. All we can hope is watching others progress will relight the fire in your heart for game dev, otherwise what are you even doing here? (The answer is shitposting) | |
CB | CC | MOAR WAFIUS PLS | For better and worse waifus can sell games, embrace them and become stronger. Maybe someone will even make fanart of your perfectly engineered waifu, and then boy oh boy your once pure intentions are going to be sullied something fierce. Keep your head held high and just don't admit to saving that stuff, alright? | |
CB | 0 | AGDQ | Greetings from Germany! Long time watcher first time poster, why aren't you guys talking about the speedrun?
Fun Fact: Canonically this a refugee from /srg/, specifically the third goalkeeper "Games Done Quick". Lore building is important | |
RB | A4 | Idea Guy | See that mountain? I'm going to tell the programmers that you should be able to climb it! This is the job most people are actually thinking about when they say "I want to work in video games". Spoilers: it doesn't exist on anything more than a theoretical level. Please stop bugging us about how you've got a great plan to remake Minecraft until you actually learn how to write a hello world program. | |
LMF | FF | >mfw no artists | If you really want to make a game by yourself you don't just need a vision and coding acumen, you'll also need to be an artistic soul with fingers that actually know how to draw. Chances are you aren't a triple threat so welcome to the wasteland brother! Maybe some day you'll meet that nice artist/musician to match up with your skillset, and maybe if you really lucky you'll fall in love so she won't ask to be paid. | |
LMF | A | Weekly Recap | We're here to keep you honest, so join in on the weekly recap so we can low key force you to be productive! We've added gamification elements, so hopefully that urge to keep your streak will keep you going long after all rational desire to do so has died. | |
LMF | 66 | 2D Pixel Girl | There's so little here, and yet I feel so much. How can a few hundred pixels do this to a man? I feel her pain goddamn it, it's my pain too! It's everyone's pain! The suffering is global!
Fun Fact: The game this character comes from was called "Traveler". Like many AGDG games it seemingly never came out but people were taken by this girl and she garnered some fanart all the same. Rule 34 exists. | |
RMF | 20 | Post Progress | Progress is material with which you will build the long hard road to your game. Post progress every goddamn day. Don't work hard, don't work smart, just work. Or else. | |
RMF | C | Sepples | Once upon a time there was a language called C, and it was a modest thing. People saw C and said "wow I wish there was more to this" and so they made C++. It's been downhill ever since. | |
RMF | F | Doomed Fan Games | If we know the game exists you're already dead. You release the game FIRST. DON'T LET NINTENDO KNOW. YOU WILL NOT SURVIVE THE DMCA. | |
SS | C4 | >GameMaker | GameMaker is not something you use to get ahead. You use it because you already know it, and you can't be bothered to change engines AGAIN. We're not judging you here. Not much at least. |
