For the animal penis sucking faggot known as Jason Hall it must be quite sad looking back and seeing the PG thread that went months between getting replies, with people saying he wasn't a lolcow and gave out useful advice. There were no strikes and no major dramas for us to milk back then but thanks to his own actions he's on the public forum with 305K views and a sizable anti fanbase of people growing bigger every day.

I wonder where he'd be by now if he wasn't a sensitive retarded faggot with doughy fat rolls hanging off of him like the michelin man.

Speaking of his old thread. @Relinquish can you add A segment to the OP about Maldavius getting involved with the Spy.pet drama? The time he tried to disable and use his ELITE HACKER skills to fuck with spy.pet. A website people primarily used to expose child predators and gooners? He failed miserably though and ultimately did nothing to actually disable the site.

Oh :wow:. I could have sworn I had already made a section in the OP about spy.pet but apparently not. Just give me 2 days and I'll add it. Thank you for reminding me about it
 
What was spy.pet? I see it mentioned a lot on this thread but I couldn't find a lot of aggregated info on it
It was a bot that scraped alot of public discords for archiving purposes, mostly focusing on degenerate dating servers and pedophile heavens like r/boykisser. People started a moral panic because iirc he sold access to various logs, mind you, none of these logs were from private avenues such as hidden channels or DMs, all from channels and servers you can just log into yourself and look up. But people went apeshit over "muh privacy"
Thor iirc contributed to some counter bot shittery that disrupted the bot for around half a day before the bot creator reversed it to instead ban one of the guys doing it.
Spy pet apparently has since been shut down to due law fuckery from Discord themselved
 
I'd appreciate it if Jason could stop speaking as if represents the game industry. Jason worked a low level non-creative job at Blizzard and then released some babbies first attempt indies on Steam. He is not an authority on anything in the game industry. I'd never speak the way Jason does despite having my own semi-comparable foray into gamedev. It's offensive to hear him lean into it with such confidence.

His actual field and profession is being an eceleb streamer.

It sounds shitty to say it but this faggot does represent the gaming industry. He isn't qualified in the slightest but he tows the line harder than anyone else and has a massive audience. He's also endorsed by all of the big names. He was a Blizzard cuck up until the very second it became trendy to shit on them and even then he didn't go too hard on them, he pretty much pulled back everything he said about Blizzard and is now a bitch for them again. He also started fighting SKG to protect his interest in big live service games and is now gunt guarding Godot with bad faith arguments and false strikes. Free of charge.

Even beyond being what is basically an industry plant. Jason metaphorically represents modern gaming. Gay as fuck, shallow, unfinished, and corrupt.

Nah, I agree with @CrunkLord420. Saying Maldy represent the gaming industry is like saying a cleaning lady at the YouTube office represents Google.

He really doesn't. His hot takes being used as a foil by other people doesn't really mean much. The reality is "the game industry" is a many faceted thing and no one is a true authority on anything except perhaps a hyper-specific area like the real-time simulation of foliage in the wind. No one talks like Jason. Everyone is like "in my experience" and hedging their statement multiple times over because everyone knows that everything is different everywhere. Even the most senior people talk like this, because we know. To pretend otherwise is pandering to the ignorant. Meanwhile in reality Jason is at the bottom of the totem pole, and he's effectively pivoted careers entirely.

He really isn't anything more than a consoomer shill and the ONLY time his word and actions will ever have any influence on "the industry" as a whole is if he manages to nepo baby his way into attaching himself at the hip to someone with significantly more sway in an official capacity than he could ever hope to have, which might just be part of his game plan.
 
Also not sure if anyone of you guys remember. But the original YouTube devblog Elysian shadows/adventures in game development also turned into a huge scam. With 0 updates in 6 years, the lead dev Falco Girgis becoming a crackhead, and between them constantly shitting on indie devs who actually made, albeit mid, finished games
Mald is a microcosm of the YouTube indie dev sphere, which is almost entirely made of people who have no idea how to make games, much less good ones. A large chunk of its channels are devlog makers, many of which are midlife-crisis-goers attempting to make their Dream Game™ with no previous dev experience. Not scammers necessarily, just people heavily underestimating the difficulty and biting off way more than they can chew. It also has its resident online course salesmen telling their audience how they made gamedev their full time jobs. And of course there's Maldavius, waxing poetic about how easy it is to "just make games." For how big the scene is, the number of gamedev 'tubers who are actually competent devs is vanishingly small (imo there's only three good ones, whom I will not name here). YouTube and dev are two entirely separate skillsets which are both very time-consuming, so the truly good devs spend their time making games instead of making videos about making games.

One particularly egregious channel who might be worthy of their own thread is Sasquatch B Studios, who sold his house to start an indie dev studio despite zero past experience, attempted to make an overscoped game and wasn't able to finish it, then attempted to make a smaller-scale game and wasn't able to finish that in his set time frame, and is still working on that to this day. The channel itself consists of extremely basic Unity tutorial content and Pirate Software-esque "advice for new devs" videos. He currently seems to be subsisting on the ~$300-$500 per month that his Patreon brings in.

I never understood why people actually believe you can approach an interdisciplinary field and somehow ace it over night.
You'd think it be common sense .

Yea there's entry-level tools that make it easier but if you don't understand the base functionality then you're just a monkey playing with a magic box.
Even the successful devs who didn't code well using these tools had talents in writing, art, and music to make up for it.
But if you're average joe who literally just started then you will crash and burn like a retard.

Game industry goes very deep, but most people only get a certain face shown to them. I think Jason belong to the shitty side of that face (even if his troonfurry fans belive he's the opposite).

I mean, its a billion dollar industry, but to most people it seems like a very insular club of 10 retards that can fit on the Dorito Pope's dinner table.
I have a close friend that makes a very decent living, working on a live service mobile game that I didn't know existed, for a company I've never heard of.
A lot of the youtube gamedev influencers seem to exist just fine, despite the fact that I wouldn't play the games they make even if you held a gun to my head (there's a non-zero chance some of them are nepo babies/ trust fund kids just like Jason).

That’s the funny thing about the page he made that hosts links to free dev tools. In the blurbs talking about the games made with them there is always a bit about how the dev already had one skill they were good at that is used for game dev. Be it art, music, coding etc

And even they weren’t stupid enough to quit everything and have no safety net.
But if you're average joe who literally just started then you will crash and burn like a retard.
To be fair you could brute force it, but you’d have to have an undying level of passion for the time it is likely to take.

But people like Thor don’t really tell you that or point you in the direction of resources that could help you if that is the only thing you have going in.

I wanted to say that Thomas Brush has made a couple of successful and well-received games, so his course might be worth it... but then I learned that the course costs 600 Euros(at least that's what the users on plebbit say, cause the homepage of the course doesn't show the pricing). Yeah, fuck that, you can probably find the same information on Youtube for free.
As for Blackthornprod, I can't say a single good thing about them. Their games don't sell, they mishandled the collabs that they conducted. Also I think I remember watching a tutorial they made for creating a minimap in Unity and it was the stupidest way of doing it: manually placing the landmark icons on the minimap based on the player icon's location. But I can't find it anymore, so maybe I'm misremembering something or they removed it out of shame nevermind, here it is:
 
The constant fuck-ups of Jason's rehab has correlated with my dubious sobriety at the moment and culminated in me making this incredibly shit image

Uncle Ben is based because he's clearly autistic to an unbelievable degree but he uses that autism to get fit, worship Christ and save animals. And to think he built it all out of a crack house.

Funny given that Heartbound is carried by his artist.
Say what you want about furry pixel art, but consistently producing art of this quality takes some real skill.
The music is not that terrible either.

They could easily replace Thor with three tutorials of RPG Maker and nothing of value would be lost.
As the writing, codding and game design are weakest parts, all made by Thor.
