Funny. I have to say though the Hollywood Actor voices are worth every penny.

The missing Pie chart for "Blizzard games" is 80% Delaying the release, 15% Advertising in Korea, 5% everything else.

but by god the damn panty texture is spot on every time

And yes TL2 > Sex ofc

TL2 > Path of Exile > Everything else in the whole universe > D3

Check out this game. Its like the real diablo 3.. !! http://www.pathofexile.com/

for a japanese rpg it would be more like half the chart on boob physics

You just missed your chance Jo.

Mmmh...I'm still not convinced about the Indie chart. I think it should be 50% coffee - 50% caffeine sodas.

i request more TF2 story comics, much like the first strips you first posted.

You need a pie chart for the people who pirate the games.

you ned to change AAA for 70% advertisement, 5% innovation 25 GRAFIXH

more like coCKmix amirite?

[url=#user_comment_145184]@MeowMix[/url] Food is covered by the salaries, a small insignificant part of the "Anything Else" part of the AAA-title pie chart. JRPG developers eat panties.

no complaints here. grats on a successful pie chart comic

The "Advertisement" and "Hollywood Voice Actors" slices of the first chart are too small.

@Again again:

Totally agree. Most of the times Jo usually draws characters discussing these type of topics. But whenever he gets busy (a more polite term rather than "lazy") -Bham- normal charts come out! Maybe he got bit by the summer vacation bug??

Apparently AAA developers and JRPG developers don't need to eat.

I enjoy Nerfnow, but when I see this comic..
Three flat, uninteresting circles.
Three old, tired, recycled jokes.
I get the feeling he wanted the title to be 'Fuck it.'

I would have though that the panties textures would cover about half of the budget rather then a mere third. XD

@Stop It: Speaking of nerd rage...

All these "you forgot" posts are fucking stupid, and you guys should stop. None of you are very good at comedy or even posting something that really applies or isn't nerd rage.

You forgot the tiny sliver spent on VA's. (Since they're terrible)

Coffee and Instant Noodles need to be combined, and the other half should be pixelation of graphics.

We've missed bargain store breakfast bars from the indie game funding list. Also, clothes, shoes and petrol.

In the JRPG, you forgot the belt buckle design.

MMM...Pie

Should try making a pie chart for F2P games

Yeay for Japanese RPGs!!! =D

The indie chart probably should have "coffee/coke" and "Instant noodles/Pizza" for a balanced diet.

Do one for prices.
Example: in AAA game you pay full 100 % for the main game but only 60 % of that actually pays for the game, whereas 40 % pays for DLCs that are actually chopped off bits of the main game.
Okay, that would be tricky to put in a pie chart.

Seems legit.

For a moment I thought I was in a Walmart.
I saw the same old tired jokes, but stuffed into a triple pack.

Nerf Now: a subsidiary of XKCD.

[url=#user_comment_145131]@Tkun[/url]: Drugs. Duh.

[url=#user_comment_145155]@Jaybonaut[/url]: Even more money for the advertising budget!

Errr pretty sure the Unreal Engine cost is negligible in the grand scheme of things.

[url=#user_comment_145127]@Midou[/url]: as a frustrated indie gamedev, i disagree. It's not funny, because it's too true.

Anything Else = Large quantities of brown.

@Dr. Robotnik
It is until you actually sell or corporately use something made with it. Then you have to get a license. They end up getting 25% of all profits after a certain amount I think.

I thought the Unreal engine was available for free?

Steam Sale on mah instant noodles and coffee!

last time I played a JRPG there wasn't a whole lot of gratuitous tata shots, or panty shots, most of the time I see that out of american made games more then anything else

Tribes Ascend just fit on AAA but without advertisement.

@That Mask wearin' Fella: Actually even porn games have fairly good hair rendering, better than most games.

It's just they lack good physics for everything but the breasts. So you'll see hair clipping through their neck sometimes.

decrease hair rendering if it's a porn game!

Nerfnow: Now with 100% less Engie!

Usually I hate it when people put up stuff like this... but I really do agree on the AAA title chart. Also the Indie game one is likely to be very accurate as well.

Oh look, it's this thread agai-wait, I'm not on 4chan.

I beg your pardon, my indie game is clearly fueled by soda and pretzels.

[url=#user_comment_145131]@Tkun[/url]: Also, how about the madmen at FROM software?

Troll NOW!! button lol

Okay, now what do the guys at Nippon Ichi do with the money?

They forgot the part where the JRPG people write a hero who is an oblivious loser or jerkass while girls throw their vaginas at him.

Words cannot express how accurate this chart is...

Too funny because it's too true.

And "anything else" means "mud, to splatter all over the scenario".

Valve games:

100% went into the money swimming pool.

Because we all know Steam revenue and Source Engine Game microtransactions actually pay for any game Valve makes and what we paid for a Valve game does not even cover the cafeteria costs.

And that's why I like JRPGs

Haha, "anything else." Good one.

Haha! got the Title boyooo!

You forgot the "unmentionables" section of Indie Games.

It's funny, because it's probably true.

Yeah, that's about right.
