Still no Shartbound update. Someone decided to shitpost about it in the Steam discussions, so of course Maldy had to respond to this insane behaviour:

Notice how he doesn't address the part about how the update isn't out though.

Bitching that it's the 2nd... does he not know how timzones and the international date line work? I also like how it's "manufactured outrage" as if the game hasn't been in development for most of a decade.

 

[TrainWreckWatcher]

Quite frankly, by the time he was partnered, the days of the 70/30 split were LONG gone

They do something called "partner plus"
Where if you hit a partner bar and it continues to boost up you get better cuts. Its an insidious thing to try and get people's chats to donate even more money.

"Heh"
Reclines in chair stretching
"You guys don't know how this works. I know I said the start of every month would be an update but..."
Shrugs smugly
"Yep, manufacutred. Ya don't even own the game buddy."

If anyone is deserving of critique its the fucker who says "go make games" and doesn't make games while acting like an authoritative expert on it. Don't need to own a game to point it out.

 

[Absolute-Despair]

Except Assassin's creed is dogshit and pretty hated by everyone for legit reasons or political ones. So unless he's catering to...

Even Vedal's AI isn't fond of it, and this was also a sponsored stream.

 

[Clarence Boddicker]

Don't need to own a game to point it out.

He's also conveniently ignoring the fact that people shouldn't buy an unfinished game. Especially one that doesn't even receive updates in any regular fashion. Ferret fucker really wants people on a pay to criticize business model.

Peak reddit janny mentality...

Nothing gets his game created quicker.

Ohh well *Strech* IF we had the missing 42 level on the hype train as a surprise i would released a bonus 6th chapter for heartbound. Well welcome to the finding out time line where is no 6th chapter...

 

[PrestonHolt]

I wonder what will his next excuse be "I got late with update becasue i had to take care of very sick ferret, its insane dude how hard is it to nurse them up to health".
On the other hand my Monster hunting fren told me there's some patch on 4th comming out for MH, wonder if he's gonna stream it tommorrow.

 

[Horny Jeff the Fuck Rat]

with a sub at 4.99, the amount of money thrown at mald is around 78.9 grand for the subs

Regional prices are a thing. For me it costs about 1.5 dollars (in russian roubles) to gift one subscription.

https://archive.ph/v8vLn

I'm not gonna go full schizo and say that 100% of gifted subs that Jason gets are coming from india (priced at 1.29 USD) or Brazil (1.73 USD), but at least some of them must be.

He likely will. The problem with game twitch streaming is that you constantly have to chase the current thing or become irrelevant.

Of course, if Jason was a halfway decent game dev he could just stream that. But the paying audience probably would tune out. It'd be good publicity for him if he did forgo playing games to work though.

 

[ScurvyRat]

I have no proof, but I suspect he abuses this system for exposure. Whenever people throw subs and money at him, he uses it to buy more subs/donos to greatly inflate the true number and create some buzz about his channel.

No proof?
Are you retarded? He's stated multiple times that this is exactly what he does.

Chill bro, its a fast moving thread, not everyone is going to know everything. I read this thread every day and I'm still not familiar with him stating this. Maybe provide a clip or something for context instead of just flaming the poor fella. I'd like to see it aswell.

 

[Terfmaster9000]

One of you lovely autists should help me read the EU consumer protection laws and help me understand whether Mald is in breach of EU consumer protection laws. I am bad at legaleze.

Not exactly the same thing as being described but similar enough. I'm sure this clip has been archived in this thread already but here it is again just in case it hasn't.

Bitching that it's the 2nd... does he not know how timzones and the international date line work?

Probably not, quick someone sketch out an explanation ins MS Paint.

Of course the thing is, even if we concede his point that it was "only" the 2nd, that's still late. In fact in the three months since he announced he'd be doing monthly updates on the 1st, he's only actually relased on update on the 1st once. On the plus side we now have an update. Not the update but an update, about the update.

Do you guys feel updated about what's going on with the update?

 

[PrestonHolt]

"The next update should drop on the 5th of April.

I was going to launch this on the 1st but the dialogue with Rhode just didn't hit right.
She previously didn't discuss any of the timelines in which you went to the Dark World and fought her.
This made those routes feel incredibly disjointed and took the player completely out of the experience.
I will be doing the implementation for this section live like we did last month.
Gives a good time to talk about the game and systems involved as well.

I've also been looking into reports that the game is crashing on Steam Deck.
We've had this reproduce internally finally so I have some data to go on for a fix.
Will let you know what I find when I do.

Animus has been tough with all of these routes but I think it's worth it to do it right.
See you then!"
NGL, i do belive that my idea from earlier that "ferrets were sick" is much better explanation than "dialogue didnt hit right." Im also certain that what takes people out of experience is reaching the end of avialable content rather than npc not referencing other runs.

So almost a week late? Cute. This guy could still stream 5 hours a day, and have time to actually work on his game. It isn't like he really needs 10+ hours a day for his channel to be a success, no one does(that's DSP levels of stupidity).

That aside, I wonder how long he can keep up this bullshit minor monthly update grift.

 

[TrainWreckWatcher]

game dev he could just stream th

Nobody wants to watch someone look at code for 8 hours a day.
Unless they're Terry Davis, but you can't Terry Davis on twitch.

Steam is going to have to redefine their truant updates for early access because of him solely.

Patch release on April 5th, so Mald the Procrastinator tried working on it on April 3rd, didn’t do anything, and will do some retarded shit on April 4th last minute.

The patch notes will be laughable like previous ones worth one development day of an inefficient dev.

I’m pretty sure that at this moment he hates working on his game, and he could probably just abandon this project. None of his retarded fans care about it, but he just can’t let the idiots win Fatrick style.

I remember that he has shown an excel spreadsheet tracking his progress on the game development. I wish he shared it again for us to compare and analyse.

I'd like that chart somehow turned into a timeline graph with progress.
Just so we can see the huge gap of nothing and the slight bump.
