If Love Letter's code is based off of something else, I'd lean towards it being based off of the code of Watashi no Mono (which is also publicly available) which is another YanSim clone that Alex pressured the developer into abandoning. So in effect, a copy of a copy.
Anyone trying to reuse Alex's code to build a game would probably just neck themselves instead. It'd be less painful.
It's atschually Heartbreak, another project Logan failed this year in January. School design in LL is from Heartbreak.
I don't hate him. I think he's got a cool idea for a game and I think it would be really fun with more polish. That's why I want the crowdfunding campaign to succeed. He's definitely taken some missteps in the game's development, though. Particularly time management. I think that's due to lack of experience. As far as the more heinous allegations go, I don't really know enough about those situations to have an opinion on it.
If someone got so much money he bought second Nintendo Switch just so he wouldn't have to delete account on Animal Crossing. Then that someone should be perfectly capable of employing someone capable to help him. Nevermind how he broke off contract with TinyBuild because he couldn't understand non-spaghetti code - there was already programmer and he already mostly fixed the game some years ago. There's also revenue from Youtube and merchandise.
If he has so much money already, why would kickstarter help somehow? As long as he has reins over the whole project, expect this money to be wasted on something else.
Did you watch the most recent video? If he has a lot of money, he can hire people to do more work for him, and faster.
You can give money to me, I want to open brewery but I have horrendous issues with initial capital.
I doubt he's living with them for free. I'd assume his parents are charging him rent, or they're missing a serious money-making opportunity.
And he can still use the current code as a reference. Plus, he'll have more experience this time.
He cannot. If you would check out the build which has leaked, there's a lot of hardcoded values into different scripts. If he wants to change one little thing, he needs to change it across up to 1000 lines of code sometimes. Yes, it's that retarded. There's also a reason for retarded code like this:
he stated himself whole game is going to be scrapped. Way back 5 years ago. He wanted to push out Osana
quickly, then crowfund, kickstarter, scrapping the game and making it better from the ground. That would be okay, to write crappy else-if code if it's going to be deleted.
5 years ago.
