These are all near the other lines for the PRE-OSANA CHECKLIST section, though it doesn't make sense for some of them to be there.
(I used https://exiftool.org/ if anyone wants to look for this kind of stuff in other images)
And there lies one of the many problems: adding so much unnecessary shit that you develop those instead of focusing on the main aspects, a classic pitfall of creators. Seriously, how much of the side things that Alex put in the game in the name of “lore” could be cut without losing value? Alex seems to seem to have so many ideas that he put them all in without realizing fat could be trimmed or could be better left on the wiki (and even then, you could just give fans enough for them to make fan stuff on their own) or in a notebook to only be brought up when a fan asks you about it when you’re shooting the shit?

Wasn't he already getting flak for making a "school shooter" kind of game without, you know, literally including school shootings?
I’m not so sure, but I remember Alex telling 4Chan he was making “the most anti-SJW game in existence” and I guess the shock value and Snap Mode is something that could gain some notoriety if you’re stuck in the mid 2000s like Jack Thompson.

>The most anti-SJW game in existence

First thing that came into my mind. If the game isn't literally Jordan Peterson as Duke Nukem, shooting red haired feminists, just go the fuck home. yes this is ironic cringe

That would actually be fucking fun to play though, unlike Waiting For Osana Simulator
 
I don't know what bothers me more, the fact that this terminally online NEET doesn't know that 4chan is just one of many imageboards or the fact that he thought including one of the most reviled websites into his game was at any point a good idea.
You do remember, that Alex's LARP as gamedev started in the 4 chan thread? Alex tried to suck up to anons, but they weren't some 10-year old weebs, so they could see through his bullshit, and when they refused to kiss his ass, he run to the hills of Reddit hugbox. All I see in this idea is just another attempt in petty revenge. Probably is going to turn it into his version of PVCC.
 
I went to check the EXIF data on the image to see what software he used, but in the process accidentally found out the image has text layer metadata in it:

Pretty much all the text in the PSD is in here, including some interesting lines that are not in the final image (probably on a hidden layer). Here they are:
· Add Guns · Normal NPCs affected · Lethal and non-lethal · Recreate in-game 4Chan · In-Game Donate Button · Add DLC Only Areas

wow thanks i love hate it.

Well iirc he shilled his game back on 8chan where he was laughed at so he ran to 4chan for support.
Afaik he even joined an autistic legion of doom led by Samuel/Vordy.

He probably did it to imply he belongs in "le 4chan sekrit club"

I wonder how much of YS's development was just adding dumb easter eggs and references, i feel like you lose 90% of the content in the game if you remove all of it
 
Stretch Goals can be great.
The problem is that most Kickstarter/GoFundMe/Patreon project owners are assholes.
Get a good project, there is no problem.
Get a bad project, you are fucked.

Mighty Number 9, for example, turned into millions of dollars of heroin and cocaine, and about $10K worth of game.

Shantae Half Genie Hero turned into a pretty good game.

Both had stretch goals.
There's also Shovel Knight, which had a shit ton of stretch goals met but the devs released what was promised at launch. Then over the following years they implemented every single one of them and the game only got better because of it. As in, the game has like more than triple quality content for free now compared to vanilla. Though I'm not sure if that happened because they were decent devs or because they planned to work on the stretch goals later after a solid release.

Hollow Knight is another example of developers holding up their end of the bargain for stretch goals. Not only that, but they're going above and beyond by changing "get a second playable character in the game" into "give us three years and we'll make an entire game for the second character instead."
 
You gotta be pretty fucking exceptional to victim blame a child. Adolfin defending Alex when people found out about Sisefs makes my skin crawl.
Everyone involved in this drama is pretty fucking exceptional, though for most of the wrong reasons.

Yes.
Though, admittedly, I think that flak is lame. Even if you agree with the idea that depicting the harm or murder of teenagers is wrong (it isn't), it's low hanging fruit that doesn't actually focus on any of the shit that actually is unethical (like pedophilia both in game and out, the creator abusing patreon by doing non-updates or token updates, etc).

The real issues for Alex including guns, admittedly, is that he wouldn't even be able to pretend it was Japan, he wouldn't be able to have invincible rivals, and he would have to learn how to program and balance guns.

Hi Alex
Two possibilities:
  • Alex doesn't know what FTP is or that his site's FTP port is open
  • Alex knows what FTP is and chose to use it instead of SFTP for some godforsaken reason
I'm not sure which one is funnier, but I definitely would advise against trying to get in. It's illegal, you could actually get caught, and it's also just a dick move.

Yeah I know, I was just curious to see what FTP server he's running (though it seems like all GoDaddy hosting instances use Pure-FTPd)

I thought the 4Chan saga was he pitched the game, they enjoyed the idea, and the beef only came when Alex didn't make too much progress and 4Chan called him out on it.

Another big issue was that he swore he'd shut down the project if he became internet famous.

He became internet famous, didn't shut down the project, and 4chan asked him to commit seppuku for his shamefur dispray.

Naturally, he refused, both metaphorically and literally.
 
Yeah I know, I was just curious to see what FTP server he's running (though it seems like all GoDaddy hosting instances use Pure-FTPd)
I just did a quick port scan with nmap to see what ports are open:
Code:
Nmap scan report for evaxephon.com (50.62.249.1)
Host is up (0.081s latency).
rDNS record for 50.62.249.1: p3nlhg1002c2002.shr.prod.phx3.secureserver.net
Not shown: 986 filtered ports
PORT      STATE  SERVICE
21/tcp    open   ftp
22/tcp    open   ssh
80/tcp    open   http
443/tcp   open   https
50000/tcp closed ibm-db2
50001/tcp closed unknown
50002/tcp closed iiimsf
50003/tcp closed unknown
50006/tcp closed unknown
50300/tcp closed unknown
50389/tcp closed unknown
50500/tcp closed unknown
50636/tcp closed unknown
50800/tcp closed unknown
So there's an open FTP port, which you already discovered, the obvious port 80 and port 443, as well as SSH on port 22. Note that this is for informational purposes only. I do not advise trying to break into the evaxephon.com server, especially since there's probably nothing hidden there in the first place.
