lol what a faggot. It's basically what we see over and over at the indie scene, every new dev thinks the sun shines out of his ass and rather than make a fun game feel the need to reinvent the genre and engage with the critics. This leads to games taking 10 times longer to make so either no one cares or the budget runs out.The guy who made this video is a bit of a fag but nothing too awful, what brought this topic to me. Also check out the Indie Hell Zone article. And also a recap since this was mentioned in this thread.
>Autistic Hotline Miami fan nearly kills himself trying to make a spin-off
>Turns Persona into his life and therefore his game
>Is surprised that his bait and switch from Hotline Miami into Hotline Persona (art tracing and heavily "inspired" elements from Persona) is poorly received
>Digs himself a deep hole by getting upset that the game he promised was originally discontinued and when it came back it was turned into a weeb Hotline Miami as mentioned
>Insults and attacks fans and trolls alike including the ones giving him money from Patreon
>Eventually releases game into two separate entities, a game and a visual novel
>They're both shit
>The game is edgy, disorienting, unnecessarily hard, questionable mechanics, soundtrack is awful and unfitting weeb shit, writing is garbage
>The Visual Novel is more garbage writing but now excessively long, more novel than visual
>There's another version of the game included
>It's more polished
>It's "not for you, the people I promised this game to"
>Lolok
>Dev quits because he shot himself in the foot at every opportunity, essentially took the money he did get from his patrons and ran
>Life is essentially ruined, unhireable, can't socialize, everyone he ever knew left him behind
Surprised he hasn't killed himself honestly. Remember kids, if you're going to be autistic, set your sights on what you promised first and take care of yourself above all else.
