Indie devs have a habit of starting development with the beginning of the game, so the quality picks up throughout.

You'd think the guy whose claim to fame is being an ex-Blizzard employee would know the good old "produce the midgame first, so that the start/end woudn't be shit", but I guess not.

for anyone else who wants a play, I recommend checking out igg before it's not there. doesnt seem very FUN but it's there.

igg-games has been flagged as having potential miners in the .exes for years, according to r/piracy. There was a big controversy several years ago. You can find a clean copy on gamdie.com.

Pool's closed, I've found the raytracing:
View attachment 6282295
Looks like a dumb collision check against a sprite, with shadows being obviously wrong, but technically it could be called raytracing.

I've "played" this "game" for about 30 minutes, and I don't think I can handle much more of this. The "story" starts with a kid (?) who loves his talking dog very much, and has an abusive (???) father:

The house is full of garbage, though, so Nick Rekieta here isn't wrong. Also, this could've been another RTX sighting, but the door conveniently closes before you can step into the light.

The writing very quickly devolves into typical millenial trash, of course:

So now you're going around, trying to find the poor pupper, while being helped by the pedo-wizard. You're teleported into the starting room something like 3 times in the first 30 minutes of "gameplay", so the asset/location reuse is strong with this one. I'm sure it's an epic saga that justifies 12 8 years it took to create it, though.
Oh, and there's no "Exit" button in this "game" so you have to Alt-F4 to close it. I can see why the guy thinks releasing a server binary would be too hard.

If the raytracing was only used for a handful of places, it seems more like a programming flex more than a meaningful feature. I don't like being picky about why developers have certain features in their game, but it's also kind of weird to add and do nothing fun with it.

Oh wow, the game publisher is also co-owned by Ludwig? Yeah no wonder this dude has an audience despite having no talent, he just bums off other twitch streamers with milquetoast opinions that would make Moistcritikal look like Lily Orchard.

Thor is a bonafide grifter.

thank you for the new source. i've never actually seen any of the stuff that /r/piracy says is found in igg games, but i'm always happy to replace it now that i have a better place to suggest. ran a few malwarebytes scans just in case. nothing popped, but good looking out. seems like the source of that malware came from one shitter ruining peoples' trust. the 1337x stuff seems to be at least harder to verify now. all it takes is one bad file though, and there's probably even more i missed. thanks again.

It all makes sense now, doesn't it?

"I'm going to chalk this up to Thor being American and having no understanding of EU government and how it works."
After just listing the reason for why he's being a disingenuous prick in the opening paragraph that's kinda dumb.
He has skin in the game and is upset he and his daddy can't lobby Europe to unfuck himself.

 

[Adr1anD]

cheated to win those DEF CON Black Badges.

It is possible he might have piggyback his way into winning the DEF CON badges as he was part of a 12 person team for the number 23 and 24 black badges, he was also part of a team for 25 but the individual participants aren't listed.

Jason has appeared on a gaming podcast called Dropped Frames, in which he told some stories, including the hacking one, in which he told people he was not participating, and thus his advice was taken as genuine, all while he was, and the teams that were "ahead" of him were given bad advice.

He also later appeared on it a couple weeks later, this time with a known SJW and a huge pro-palestinian indie game dev representative Rami Ismail. I have not watched the second part in question. Search by transcript will probably save me.

Can't upload anything directly – my connection breaks. I tried sending it to archival sites, but they also show me an error after a few seconds of progress.

Thus proving once again that 99% of all hacking is merely social engineering.

preservetube, ghostarchive.org, and archive.ph seem to be struggling to interact with even other youtube videos. i wonder if this is more bullshit on the back end of google. i've got local archives of both videos now, but they're about 6 gigs total, so i can't really upload them to the kiwifarms. i'm also unfortunately retarded as to how to properly shrink the size of an mp4 file.

i was able to get preservetube to archive a gaming video, but even that took an inordinately long amount of time, so i'm suspicious of something google might be doing.

 

[daddydeath42069]

Does anyone know if there's actually videos of him working on his game as in writing code? I tried looking but every stream is just him playing video games or he has some config file open and he just scrolls up and down. It doesn't actually seem like this guy knows anything technical and he also just pulls shit out of his ass constantly that makes no sense and I'm just genuinely curious.

The only bit of code I saw of this guy's game were a bunch of arrays holding thousands of dialogue options for little changes. Though there are a few nuggets of info in this video that I consider pertinent, like how he said in no uncertain terms that he'll always be working on this pile of shit.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QR5DXQiOcss

If someone else could archive the video for me I'd appreciate it, youtube-dlp is being a cunt and I'm too sick to fix it right now.

 

[Deus Exica]

This guy keeps creeping into my shorts on YouTube and I guess I'm not really all that surprised to see he is a furfag. The greasy long hair and the twink body type, he actually reminds me a lot of YMS.

They're all obsessed with analytics, shoving in micro transactions, current day politics, and making always online shit so that they can share as little with the public as possible.

This is why all the sob stories modern game devs spurt out whenever a studio gets closed or people get laid off falls on deaf ears. Even when someone like Pirate frames himself as an UwU wholesome "Anybody can make games!" Style guy, at the end of the day he is a stereotypical industry corporate cocksucker. He doesn't really want to make good games or see things from the consumer perspective, he sees that sometimes down the line he might have to actually put effort into releasing an offline playable version of one of his products and shits his pants because game devs are about as allergic to hard work as they are straight white men.

PatricianTV is saying that Ross and Accursed Farms is word-filtered on Thor's youtube channel. (A)
View attachment 6282177

PatricianTV is a faggot who often lies about drama for attention. I wouldn't believe anything he says, especially if no one else is proving it.

You can go on the video yourself and see that he is wrong/lying.

 

[daddydeath42069]

Surprised he didn't play the "I have long covid" card which he uses to excuse not doing any work between 2020-2022. He'd be done if he actually focused on the core game and not his superficial in-game ARG tangents.

Oh no, he totally did. You can even see it in the video I sent, he constantly references how he lost two years to it.

 

[Low IQ Doctor]

He is probably the peak of the bell curve, possibly even below that, in terms of programming skill and intelligence. However, his real advantage is his ability to speak with confidence and an air of authority. It's somewhat impressive. He turned a shit tier job that he only got with nepotism into a source of credibility for a grift that easily takes in more than he ever would have had he done things the normal/proper way.

 

[DotDem]

I got a video of this guy recommended to me and a friend of mine told me he knew him from SL years ago. Looks like he was for real.
Whenever I get these grifting faggots on my feed who game the algorithm with shorts and boring agreeableness, I know there will be some take that leads to drama and exposing of how spineless or retarded they are they are. Like with Cr1tkal and his takes about children transitioning.

Calling Ross and the SKG movement disgusting? I have my problems with it but What I find more disgusting is this shill high horsing about being opportunistic with fucking politicians of all people.

[Ukraine is Big Gay]

Every time I saw this gaylord on the front page when I just want to watch autistic how to videos my blood pressure spiked just a bit more. Also what kind of retard brags about working for blizzard incessantly when you get the "chud gamers" side eyeing you for working for a bad company, and the socially aware types side eyeing you for working for a "BAD company" at the time?

I wonder when it's coming out he was drinking all the breastmilk.

Well that certainly is one of the ways to put dialogue and story flags in your game

Why would you admit to this level of scope-creep as the sole programmer? Like I get the grifting reason why - dumb kids watching don't understand how fucking stupid a task what he's putting forth is. Especially with nearly nothing to show for it today. But he's not just a random indie guy now - he runs multiple businesses, including his own dev studio. His scope creep, his fuck-ups, his $500 ideas being made with a $5 budget, all of that's going to reflect on everyone else and he's going to cost them work when he inevitably goes under and when they put out their resumes to other developers and publishers and all they see is some arrogant nepobaby's failed game. He is so fucking short-sighted, he really is the son of a Blizzard dev.

Reminds me of Yandev spending years packing his game full of easter eggs instead of polishing it and adding the rest of the content so he can actually call it a finished game. The code looks about as professional too.
