You'll have to forgive me if this seems a tad offtopic, but I
previously mentioned a game called
Intravenous and particularly pointed out how Maldavius Figtrees """dynamic lighting""" was basically just an alpha layer sticker, compared to the lighting in intravenous.
But whats funny is the more I look at it, the more hilarious this shit gets. He really does get BTFO by the intravenous dev Roman Glebenkov at every turn so much its comical. So I really hope you don't mind if I share a little
TECH BACKGROUND:
Jason : supposedly worked at blizzard for 7 years. Supposedly worked as a hacker for the govt, FBI challenge coin, ect. Later went into development of his own games. Also lives in america and had nepotism of his father who was an oldhead at blizzard.
Roman : Knew basically nothing at the start. Seemingly self taught. Lives in eastern European country. seemingly No nepotism to assist his career, and his father is something ill get to LATER.
DEMEANOR:
Jason : peevish, braggart, Likes to be the focus, would rather stream and look cool and gain followers. Gets angry, vindictive, and vengeful about criticism. Seems sociopathic. Lazy. Seeing him mad is common. Takes shit too seriously.
Roman : calm, kind sounding, capable of being funny but very able to be collected and level headed. Humble in attitude, earnestly presents his work hoping it will be taken well, hard working. I HAVE NOT seen him get mad. Doesn't take shit too seriously.
Has also called out developrs in general for being entitled cunts (this might be calling out pirate soft?!?! but he doesn't name names)
HOBBIES :
Jason : second life furry rps, his pet ferrets who are unable to call him an asshole, and speaking of asshole, his gnome.
Roman : lifting weights, owns guns, puts his passion into his game dev work. has a cute cat despite being a chad.
GAME DEVELOPMENT:
Jason : has 2 games, champions of breakfast which is a touhou like reskin, and heartbound, an undertale clone One isn't complete. Supposedly a third on the way. First game release was in 2016. Doesn't take it seriously, to the point steam got on his ass about not updating when in early access. Has no publisher. Is starting new shit when old shit isn't finished. Has bad blood from people hes worked with, early access people feeling he abandoned him, and would rather stream than get anything done.
Roman : Has 3 games, Game dev studio, intravenous, intravenous 2. While first game might of been smaller scale, intravenous 1 and 2 were huge endeavors for BASICALLY a single dev with limited experience, First game released in 2018. Takes things very seriously, 2nd intravenous game was dedicated toward and commemorating his (now deceased) father, who died in the making of Intravenous 2. DID NOT let the death hold him back, it pushed him forward. Only early access he had was quite literally letting you use early access WITHIN the game of game dev studio. Got a publisher for intravenous 2. Made intravenous 1 as good as possible with mod support, extra features, touch ups BEFORE he left to begin intravenous 2. Openly said that he dedicated the game to his father, and wanted it to be as good as possible, and failing to do this would be culturally seen like spitting on his grave, so he HAD to do good.
STREAMING AND VIDEOS:
Jason : his entire career and success is youtube and twitch, to the point he neglects his games. Is culty, full of himself, takes things VERY seriously.
Roman: Has a
chill channel which he doesn't take too seriously. Would rather focus on his games
REVENUE FROM GAMES:
Jason ; Jason has 2 games. but for simplicity lets look at just 1. His game heartbound in estimated revenue made $708,850
Sourced here. PLEASE NOTE, hes had this out LONGER, is FAMOUS, and has FAR MORE connections
Roman : Has 3 games, but again, focus on just 1. His first game intravenous, which WILL be sold less, currently, since the DLC to remaster it in 2nd engine is cheaper, and BETTER. Estimated revenue is $1,758,800
sourced here
STUDIO STUFF:
Jason : a cheap flash type shooter with goofyness as its selling point. Fucking slop basically. And an undertale clone which is abandonware. Calls himself pirate software to be edgy, despite being AGAINST owning your own games.
Roman : A simulator about BEING a game dev, and all the troubles it entails. Followed by 2 games which attempt (and succeed) to emulate the likes of quality stealth games likes of splinter cell, metal gear, and possibly theif (albiet bloodier). Is called explosive squat games, and he lives this out by doing dead lifts of 220 KG AKA 485LBS
I probably could go on, but I believe you get my point.
Including a video of him fucking around and lifting weights / doing skits to promote his game, just to drive home the whole chad to virgin comparison
