anyone know any news about an update? i never joined his discord server

 

[I mean I'm just saying]

Surely he won't oopsie-uh-oh the release date this time, right?

 

[cigint]

The update is already over a month late, why is he having to crunch it on the last night?

 

[potato sack]

It's believable that Gamemaker's scripting runtime ends up running 20% more overall instructions when you access a value indirectly as the member of some storage class, rather than from a global array. But like you said, that difference is meaningless for something rarely accessed, like story flags.

this came up a few times and the 20% measure is only relevant if you're doing something that is accessed hundreds of times per frame, which is really only something you do, say, if you're writing physics

putting the entire storyline decision tree array at runtime in memory is retarded

I'd be stressed out too if i had to stop playing video games for 12 hours a day to write 2 whole lines of dialogue

Man I don't write for a living and if you tell me to write a short story that is decent I'd probably fail so I'm sure 'writing' as a trade is hard but some of these writers are just perplexing. Why do you even chose to write if you don't want to?

2 lines a day lmao.
That's four minutes of work a day. 4 hours a day on heartbound my ass. He probably started working on it today. He's so predictable.

Also I hope no more faggots try to get his attention in his server. It gives Jason the ability to dismiss criticism as trolls from homophobic hate site. He's so incompetent that you don't even need to bother.

idk anything about code but I'm having trouble wrapping my brain around how finalized dialogue would take all day to update into the game? isn't that just sentences? wouldn't it just be clicking upload? wouldn't the data size be pretty small given its just text?
unless I am missing something (which I very well could be), it sounds like he is crunching. again I don't know anything about code, so correct me if im wrong.

 

[Maldavius Figtree]

I don't know anything about code

Technically you're now wiser than "Thor", since neither does he know anything about code, but you at least know you don't know anything.

Mald's making his game in (edit) GameMaker. Honestly, if you ever have a bored weekend, download it yourself and go watch one of those tutorials on YouTube. The things he are doing are trivially easy, and I'm fairly certain most people could pick up the skills required to make a game like Earthbound... Heartbound I mean.

 

[cigint]

Mald's making his game in RPG Maker.

Blundertale is a GameMaker game, actually, but you're right that even a bored middle schooler could get to a similar stage of completion in like one semester. Of course, they would have the advantage of actually working on it.

The dialog itself would be the easiest part, although from what I remember in his streams, the dialog can clip (draw over) the portraits on the right of the text box.

Portraits need to be selected and the text needs to get visual effects applied to it, for 120 lines, well, maybe 2 hours at best, and that's generously assuming every single line of text has complex effect markup.

If anything were to take time, it would be testing the different story branches, if the dialogs trigger the right story flags, etc.

Since heartbound generally has a lot of lines between choices, there probably wouldn't be that much to test, a dozen branches at most, and I'd expect someone who claims to be as experienced as Mald to get most of it right the first time.

So, all day actually means something like 4 hours maximum.

No, it's GameMaker, I would have thought someone who took his name would have read enough of this thread to know this.

Sorry I mixed up the engines. Sometimes I get confused in the jungle of queerbaiting furry shovelware crap.
Point still stands. It takes days to get on Mald's skill level when it comes to gamedev, as proven multiple times by participants in this thread.

 

[bossmanpeterson]

Most people suspect he reads this thread, considering Jason has an ego the size of a planet, but does anybody know if "kiwi," "kf," or "kiwifarms" is banned from his twitch chat? Considering his propensity for autoban word lists, it would all but confirm he reads here.

Speaking of streaming, he hasn't been, so I guess he really has been working on the game a few days right before the deadline. We might actually see the update drop tonight. My money was on another postponement, but I guess he understands he's at the end of his rope.

Not necessarily. He's been making a habit of not streaming on Thursdays for over a year, and added taking Wednesday off to that at the beginning of this year clearly to do more mushroom farming/foraging/DM'ng/hiking/animal rescue shit/etc.

Are you telling me this nigger couldn’t figure out text auto-wrapping? Does he have to manually type “\n” every time he needs a new line? It might seem like a small thing but if you’re gonna be writing thousands of lines of dialogue, that wasted time starts adding up fast. Even Toby “switch case” Fox figured that out for his dialogue system.

He will definitely have something this time around, only because he delayed April and just continued work on that. Regardless the update is going to be shallow.

I bet he misses May too. He's gotten so many mean comments that his heartbound level is at 0 and now he's gonna crash into a slumber
