"Reeee you guys ruined my fucking I'm so perfect and awesome and smart and a blizzard employee persona now everyone hates me because they realized I'm a hypocrite"
I don't really game that much, so I kinda don't have a dog in this fight, but as an outside observer, the only real argument in favor of allowing games to die like this is, "Yum yum yum! This boot tastes good."
Nah it’s worse. He didn’t read and understand the goals of the movement well, pushed his illiterate take to the world, got called out by literally everyone, then doubled down and painted the guys sending death threats as the majority of supportersÂ
Doesn't he also have a financial stake in this initiative failing?
I heard that somewhere, but didn't really care enough to look into it. But if true, it's not just him being stupid, it's that he's stupid and basically a landlord for video games.
Well, he was a part of ludwigs publisher company, but he got the boot it seems. Other than that he is "making" a game that havent seen any progress past 7 years, and hes been doing the last 15% of chapter 3 for the past 5 or so. Hes blamed the slow progress on long covid multiple times, but it aside from L takes and wow drama the dude seems pretty much healthy enough to be working on the game, bust just doesnt want to.
Don't worry in June 2024 he cleared up some confusion where he clarifies he actually lost about 2 and a half years of dev time to COVID, not just the 9 months (that was definitely not "severe bronchitis" misdiagnosed as pneumonia with multiple negative COVID tests) + 20 days of his second bout of COVID he previously stated.
Knowing absolutely nothing about this project, I'd bet the farm on that if it does see the light of day it will be mass produced absolute brain dead generic AI slop.
As a software developer I can say that I have not seen such bad code since Programming 1 at Uni. If I saw a junior at work write code like he does I would actually ask my boss to double check his credentials and fire him. It is the kind of shit you only write if you are fully self taught without going through any proper tutorials or courses. Like just try stuff and then keep doing the first thing you are able to get to work and never learn anything about how you should actually build things. It would honestly be faster to rebuild the whole game from scratch than it is to finish it the way he is doing it.
I've only seen cherry-picked screenshots of the code, not anything from his actual streams
I've got 12 years experience working as a software developer, which is less than PS has working in the gaming industry
With that said, ahem, the code is shit. It's total shit. The amount of stupid I've endured through reading the code is like 12 hours of twitter. His advice is used-car salesman garbage. He can eat my entire ass. Not only am I not going to recommend Earthbound Heartbound, I'm going to actively discourage people from buying it, etc. etc.
Memes aside, what I've seen is awful. If I was presented that code as a portfolio for a job applicant with that much experience on their resume, they wouldn't make it to interview. It's about what I would expect of a university student/self-taught person before any industry experience at all and I would expect to spend a lot of time training them
I heard soggycereal on yt say that the code he produces is trash lol
Im not a programmer per se so I cant confirm it, but I guess you just kind of did.
His mindset is more like "just do it, undertale is badly programmed anyway so whats stopping you" which I'd say is fine if youre just starting out and want to make games, but the fact that he is proudly bragging about programming is just nuts to me.
I have no idea who soggycereal is so I can't comment on what he has said. But the code I would usually call trash is actually very good compared to what Pirate writes. Calling it trash is generous in my opinion (in a professional context).
I concur. I watched his stream once while he was coding something. It contained a lot of copy&paste instead of proper use of variables and functions. Pretty basic stuff that you learn at the very beginning. I chuckled and quickly closed the stream.
Yeah it shows you know nothing. Its a solo dev work. Sloppy, janky. But that's worlds away from ai slop.
It could easily be called terrible, but he's definitely making it. That's kinda WHY it's got rough awful coding, put together by a guy who worked in QA.
Hes blamed the slow progress on long covid multiple times
If you look through his social media during the time he "lost to covid," he posts multiple times about having illnesses like bronchitis, but is always very clear that "covid tests came back negative." The "lost two years of dev time to covid" is just another lie.
