Take my opinion here with a grain of salt but you see a ton of people like ding dong trying to make it in games, albeit most arent nearly as skilled as he is. Opinionated (and dare I say bitter) people who don't play nice with others don't make it very far in game dev. Ding dong COULD get a publisher tomorrow whether it be via his connections or from some kinda deal but I guarantee you that it comes down to not wanting to be told what to do and not wanting to have to receive input on how to make the game.



Take this with an even BIGGER grain of salt and a "I Am Not A Therapist" but ding dong strikes me as a person with severe anxiety issues and poor coping mechanisms for them. He's from Chicago iirc so I doubt it's a cultural thing that's stopped him from getting professional help, it probably has more to do with the Dingus Duo lacking health insurance.

A two man development team with no games published or released (even small ones) is going to be a red flag for any publisher that isn't judging solely on their personal connection to the person.

A person that uses their perfectionism to procrastinate and the person who uses their laziness to procrastinate lead to the same outcome at the end of the day. Publishers don't care for blown timelines or endless development delays, because who would?

There is no barrier to entry for publishing your games online. A portfolio of smaller scale (3-4 month full-time development time max) games completed and published gives you a lot more credibility than the giant epic game you're developing for years and years and never release.

Most importantly, completing and releasing smaller games helps you grow more than anything. Fuck however talented DingDong thinks he is, there is always something you need to learn and improve on. Scott Cawthorn developed and released tons of smaller lighthearted games singlehandedly, no publisher. And he got harsh criticism for them, but he channeled the negative into positive:

  • When Chipper & Sons Lumber Co. came out, the people complained about the characters in it looking like scary animatronic dolls. This sent Scott into a deep depression. While initially discouraged, almost to the point of quitting game development entirely, he eventually decided to use the robotic character flaws to his advantage, sparking the development of Five Nights at Freddy's.

I guess what I'm saying is: a publisher doesn't want to be your personal paypig. If you truly feel there is no way in gods green earth you can shorten your development cycle, and it has to be this multi-year epic game development no matter what: you will have to make sacrifices. Cuphead was a case like this, and the two brothers remorgaged their house at one point to raise enough funds to finish the game.

What I'm saying to DingDong is either:
  • take your fans money with gratitude to support what is essentially your passion project and stop whining
  • stop trying to make perfect games and set reasonable completion deadlines to adhere to no matter what
  • or get a day job and work on your passion in your free time like the vast majority of people in GameDev.
Pick one. You don't get to take people's money to work on your passion and then whine about it. If you really hate being reliant on your fans, get a day job like everyone else in the world.

I wonder how the news about Justin Roiland will affect Zach and Michael Cusac. Given their affiliation.

I'm not sure if he in particular gave the two a special connection, but given that S2 was already financed for production and those two are in good standing it probably wont affect them unless somehow, it came out that the two of them in particular were involved or complicit in wife beating 2 years ago.

Saberspark Admits The TRUTH - Meeting Halfway

On today's Meeting Halfway Podcast Veronica and Mark sit down with one of the biggest creators in the cartoon community, Saberspark! They discuss how to avoi...

Subliminal Oney jab I guess happened Veronica and Mark's newest podcast. I don't even get the context of it, but the whole thing is that they were talking about Larry the Lobster and how one of Mark's goons I guess doesn't know who that is? They cut to a clip of their video (which actually starts at 33:45) with this goon talking about Arin Hanson and then Mark, Veronica and Sonny requesting game grumps pics on the vid and then immediately shows a gigantic oneyplays profile pic for a solid 5-7 seconds. The goon got visibly upset/uncomfortable with the fact that they (Veronica and the other two retards) are trying to talk about Arin and the Grumps). They explain that they took over the goon's podcast on purpose.

Y'know, for people who went on to talk about how they are trying to better themselves and not be seen as "negative people", they sure do like gossiping and throwing shade at others who haven't really thought about them for such a long time. It's pretty pathetic. Veronica is clearly hold a grudge with Chris dumping her, Sonny also. Mark still holds onto whatever grudge he has for Arin.

I watched LS Mark’s video on how he TOTALLY OWNED Butch Hartman by paying him to go into Butch’s studio and have Veronica interview him for his podcast while Mark sits to the side, afraid Butch is going to recognize him and kick them out (really showed him).

At the end of that video Mark mentioned he was bringing Zach on as one of his future guests, which I doubt is still going to happen if Zach knows who his co-host is. But could you imagine how awkward it would be if Zach goes to Mark’s house and finds his friend’s ex who’s been passive aggressively throwing shade at his friend for the last year, and he has to sit there and put all of that animosity aside while she asks him questions about season 2 of Smiling Friends.

Kek, shit's still funny how he even brags about it here in that vid I linked. Saberspark looks at him and Veronica in a weirded out way when they explained how they wanted to but "I WAS JUST SO GOSH DARN IN AWE BY HIM" and how Veronica never wanted to shit on Butch but Mark insisted that she did. I'm sure Butch knew who he was, but decided to bring him over because he obviously knew he was too much of a pussy bitch to do anything in person.

Mark is probably one of the most uninteresting people and it's kinda sad that Veronica has to be the one to carry conversations in the podcast.

She's too two faced to do that, so I doubt she'd have the balls to insult one of his closest friends like that. I do wanna see Zach actually try and have a conversation with someone as white breaded as Mark.

In fairness, hating on Arin is a pretty normal thing that all people should do.

It's more interesting than that, the video where that clip is from isn't from any of their channels, it's from some guy named Gage Agnew, here's the link to the original video where the edits are there, gets stranger still when earlier on when Veronica mentioned ding dong they flash up a pic of Matt and Ryan...

I kinda want to see Zach actually go through with the interview just to completely ruin it by bringing up Chris in every other answer and making it awkward for Mark and Veronica. Like if Mark asks “How difficult was it to pitch Smiling Friends to networks?” and Zach starts with “Well when me and my good buddy Chris O’Neil aka OneyNG were pitching Hellbenders…”

He should make eye contact with Veronica and gets louder every time he says "MY GOOD BUDDY. CHRIS O'NEILL AKA ONEYNG" and in different ways like "MY BEST FRIEND IN THE WHOLE WORLD WHO I LOVE SO DEARLY". But Zach's too cool to be like that lol

Spirit Science had more bravery and composure walking through that hospital than mark did in front of Butch.

Imagine Zach coming on just to sit across from Mark and the ladder-climbing hussy that cheated on his buddy Chris with the half-brother Adam and having a totally normal interview the whole time. It ain't happening lol.
Mark must be mad, knowing that his girlfriend prevented him from capitalising on Zach's recognition.

I'd imagine so. But I do want it to happen so they can talk/shill about Mark's dog shit cartoon to Zach and then try to talk to him as if they know what it's like to run a show.

Doesn't Zach kinda have a dislike towards people who critique cartoons or movies and call them idiots for taking themselves seriously? I coulda sworn there was an oneyplays episode where he just flat out makes fun of people who do reviews on cartoons or movies.
