Seeing the credits makes me astounded how many people can be listed and still have it turn out to be a trainwreck. Brianna wasn't the main programmer, and only wrote it and did the textures, the latter of which is one of the worst aspects off the bat. It cost how much to make again?

A couple of things to remember:

1. Brianna hired all her staff on the cheap and many of them had no experience with the Unreal Engine. Amanda Warner, I think, was a database administrator for a shipping facility and a number of the others have never worked on games before.

2. Even if you had the best staff in the world, it's still Brianna running the show.

Oh, well I guess you're about five or six years too late with the joke, all that gender shit has been gone for a long time.

I'm sorry, but I can barely keep up with the farms, let alone your site. Is there some kind of brief I can read to get up to speed? Like, a Something Awful for Retards? I just don't want to get corner raped by a bunch of feminists again.

That was actually Maria Enderton, and she wasn't a DBA. She was one of the monkeys that packed boxes for internal distribution. She's now a webdev for a marketing company, which if her work "[programming the] entire game, utilizing UnrealScript (OO scripting language for Unreal, based off of Java)." and "Conducted internal testing and worked with QA to find and address bugs" show us anything, it's that kitewheel is a company you shouldn't hire if you want a bug free marketing experience.

Hello kiwis, I've been following this thread for a while and thought it was time to register now that the release it out.

I haven't found anything really interesting in the code and comments so far, it's all just a really boring and very simple. The entire progression of the game(levels and endings) is just a huge switch-case structure, the games narrative mechanics are about as dynamic as a gumball machine.

The old logs have some info as well, it seems like the release was last touched in May 2016 by a "Maria" and the most current compiled build is from January 2015.

Geth's final post on Wu (after this, he doesn't give a shit about John anymore)

https://medium.com/@infiltrator7n/m...i-care-more-about-now-c53a8f0ebb37#.qvbyxu3q8

It's long, so here's a summary.

He jumped the gun on R60 launch day and assumed Flynt would screw people over once again, wrote an article to that effect, and wound up with egg on his face when he found out Wu actually did what he promised for once. Since he had already made another screwup that got the KIA hot pockets pissed at him, he came to the conclusion he was coming dangerously close to lolcowdom given how he fucked up and decided to quit while he still could.

He no longer plans to cover Brianna Wu again because he figures he's done enough, R60 is an amazing trainwreck he needs not comment on more than other people have done better, and after this he predicts Wu will become a bargain basement clickbait writer for a third-rate blog if he's lucky, and since Wu's credibility is a smoking crater now and forevermore, he's given up on Wu ever apologizing to him for libeling him awhile back, so he'll be content knowing John Flynt is now an eternal laughingstock, and he wants to devote the rest of his life to other shit.

We're irrelevant and unpopular and dying and unfunny basically. I don't want to get offtopic here, so let's get back to the discussion at hand.

I don't know. Going from zero to programming a relatively functional 3D game in that time for that level of pay I think is pretty impressive.

All the stand-out fuckery is John's: the appearance of the characters and the godawful textures and lighting. And the two years of procrastination at the end.

Frank seems to be putting extra effort into shilling the game so I'm guessing he wants some of that money back. I wonder how he'll react when he finds out the game is being torrent'd. I mean after the discussion where someone explains to him what a torrent is. Hell, you could probably say you made a "fan made torrent" and he'd probably thank you until Brianna pulled him aside.

p.s. rip gamergate leader Seth Rogen.

Well, You can spend years educating yourself in school and building your career from the bottom rung of the media industry...

Or gain notoriety by being a shithead on twitter, then writing biased clickbait on the internet looking for another five seconds of fame.
