So, years ago during Heartbound's "development" this guy Stijn wrote 100 songs for Heartbound AND released his own complete game which is significantly better than Heartbound and also complete.

I checked in a few times today and he was consistently hovering around and even dipping below 4k viewers. He's really bleeding viewers right now.

Uploading full stream right now, almost there.
Edit: 8GB GoFile link

On the last hour or two it seems a bit choppy to me. Not sure if it's my player buffering or the file. Sorry if it ain't perfect.
Edit2: yeah from ~11h:37m onwards it's pretty much audio only for me. yt-dlp did his best.

I guess he's having a sudden moment of clarity and talking about the remaining 30% of viewership that stuck around so far.

 

[Fat Nigga Fella]

I think we will hear the "writing" excuse more often, it's the "perfect" excuse for him and he managed to say "I'm shit at something" without having a narcissistic stroke.



The writing excuse works because then he can say something along the lines of: "Look at George RR Martin or Patrick Rothfuss, writing is hard, that's why I haven't finished the game yet"

Sorry to drop a bit of a black-pill, but the Lobbyists are getting together now. For what it's worth, PC Gamer isn't even trying to hide the names of these Lobbyists, nor who they work for.

I gotta say, he and Shaye really are looksmatched at the very least
View attachment 7631068View attachment 7631069

Mald looks like an ugly lesbian, and Shaye looks like every single british twink that ever existed.

Congratulations on 'passing', Shaye! Those man-hands really go a long way.

And tbh Shaye looks completely dead inside.

For her own sake she should really leave this lie of life behind,
there is not a single moment of true happiness in this for her.

Who is reading this thread more? Mald, sloptubers, or redditors?

View attachment 7630167

At this point if we're going to be objective, it's probably
1. Redditors
2. Sloptubers
3. Mald but only because I assume the thread is moving too fast for either Mald or his discribes to read and get mad at.

I would assume Jason stopped paying massive attention to the thread around the clip of him saying "They're saying I'm fucking my ferrets". I could be off the mark here, but I imagine even Jason has his limits on disrespect he's willing to sit through. He's probably written the thread off and has one discribe reading posts to him every now and then if it's something major.

any w40k fags?
i need clolor scheme that isnt blue, red or green

Maybe Black Templars? Lamenters? Imperial Fists? Definitely not Ravenguard because those guys are focused on stealth. Lamenters would probably match flavor-wise because they're the ultimate good guys for the imperium but mostly choose desperate missions where their mortality is nigh 100%. Or they get fucked by the writers. Don't know what that would speak for SKG.

Edit: ah shit I was late

This reminded me of Jagged Alliance 2, and I can see Mald and his spy having these kind of convos about us.

Sorry to drop a bit of a black-pill, but the Lobbyists are getting together now. For what it's worth, PC Gamer isn't even trying to hide the names of these Lobbyists, nor who they work for.

I want to hope that EU will consider that
-SKG is GRASSROOTS
-euro lobby failed on the whole lootbox thing
-roblox has a pedophile problem
-COD lobbies have been hackable

and various other shit that makes their arguments look like shit. Seriously the lobby has so much egg on their face.

 

[Slamerella]

Criticising his code is trendy right now, and the main message of these videos is that development is slow because he created an unmaintainable mess. Maldy is responding to this by saying that the code is not the reason, coding is actually the easy part. The real reason is writing, since it's so hard to authentically write maldy's characters. To me it seems like Mald is asking for a review of his writing. It's definitely not what he wants, but it's what he's asking for.

Usually, story comes way later as you want to make sure your game can, well, run and play the damn game. Story should always come after. You can make flags in text boxes and such, but it doesn't have to be grandiose story, just something that says like, "I'm the boss, and now you will fight me." Later you can add the monologue, once you debug and playtest everything else.

He should know this if he's in QA.

 

[Ted's Cabin]

I find it so weird. Normally when you create such a story driven game, you should write the whole story first and plan everything.

There's nothing in game development where you do everything at the start unless you're producing slop right off an assembly line. Anything else requires constant iteration and editing and you learn what the final piece will look like as you work on it. On that note the average person's idea of a "game design document" is completely wrong because you don't design games from the top-down unless you're slightly iterating on something that already exists, like AAA slop or game clones. They're more useful for just keeping track of details you want to keep consistent and not actually "designing" a game.

That pizza looks horrible.

I'm going to ban you for saying that then reward myself with another pizza. Why am I so fucking FAT?

 

[CatharticShitHead]

To me it seems like Mald is asking for a review of his writing. It's definitely not what he wants, but it's what he's asking for.

When I was watching a playthrough (fuck buying it lmao) of Heartbound, I had noticed that while the writing is serviceable, the main character and almost everyone he interacts with is IMO insufferable. I'm not a professional writer by any means but I can tell you that Mald's characters range from "Giant emotional pussy" to "Cartoonishly evil moustache twirling villain". The main character has no character, no pun intended, as his whole journey is the stereotypical shit you'd find in an AO3 story written by a middle schooler. It's pointless, edgy, he loses control of his emotions and has a "dark version", and he only serves as a vehicle for the player to explore the world. Maybe in that sense, Jason is trying to rip off undertale again as Frisk and Kris are total self inserts, save for Kris despising you the player for your decisions.

Side characters are bearable, sometimes even enjoyable, but they do reek of "I want people on tiktok to post this character obsessively". One specific character that comes to mind is a crocodile or alligator guy relaxing near a pool in the red and black area who asks you to get him something, maybe it was a drink. He then throws the drink into the pool. Came off as trying hard to be funny.

 

[Slimpacks]

He should know this if he's in QA.

His role in QA at Blizzard was reporting any assets that did not comply with Chinese censorship regulations for WotLK. He's basically a professional janny.

 

[yt Oliander]

Kiwi devs should band together and publish their own gay undertale clone before Mald finishes Heartbound.

Does Mald have his fursona copyrighted? I'm thinking something like Rance, but the main character is Maldavius Figtree and all the enemies are sickly ferrets.

 

[Comfort Cumfart]

The pooner gives me some @Cardposting vibes

 

[Aurellia Spaghettellia]

I'm not sure how common it is to write a game story beforehand, to be honest. But regardless, this process is still entirely lazy and retarded.
Jason is not accounting for ANY review work, which from my world of writing is absurd.
He doesn't review any of the past writing and he plans to write the rest one time and that's it.
That's just not how good writing is made. Full stop.

Further, I'd speculate that in his heart of hearts, he doesn't really know how the story should go. Except that in the end everyone applauds him.
