Why did the retard kill it

Is it true Hypnospace Outlaw is a left wing game? Or am I being memed on?

>>713375118 (OP)
it's cancelled because um... we made a spreadsheet reader and a lot of music... i never even started on the game... thanks for your great work everyone, the game is cancelled

>>713375365
Yeah dude its super left wing liberal woke alphabet mafia lgbtq+++ Trans game, never play it

never heard of this before

>>713375118 (OP)
Feature creep is the natural predator of indie devs.

If you’re getting this from that one schizo who keeps ranting about it in these threads, I earnestly tried to engage with him and find out why he was claiming that and he couldn’t tell me. It’s one of the only Christian games and it carries a nostalgic reverence for a better time without needing to pivot into subversion. Until he’s willing to explain why he thinks that, I’d say just ignore. If it’s a matter of thinking that the entire game is intended as some scathing criticism of capitalism, that’s just as retarded as a leftist coming to the same conclusion from the opposite perspective

>>713376535
Yeah, that sounds right to me. Some people just overreact when something isn't 1000% lockstep or whatever.

unmedicated ADHD

>make patreon
>steal money
>disappear
its as easy as that

>>713377614
This

>>713377614
but pizza tower & garbanzo quest suceed
>>713378226
not this

Making a sequel to it is kind of stupid in the first place. I liked it, but not enough for a sequel. The spinoff game though I thought was an interesting idea. Still haven't played it.

Link.
Right now.
If you post TLoZ your mother will die in her sleep tonight.

>spend all the money you made from the last game
>spend your publisher's money too
>spend years paying coders to develop
>make a Patreon as a last ditch effort for 4 months
>cancel your game, refund a month of Patreon bucks
Yeah, totally a get rich quick scheme

>>713377614
>give refunds
>disappear

you forgot that part

>>713376715
Is medicated ADHD one of those cases were you just blank out? If so thats not much better for a creative.

>>713379098
all of his issues seemed to stem from having a publisher and being given a design document with deadlines he was supposed to stick to, sounds like he just needed more amphetamines

>>713377614
he would have strung people along longer if that was the intent.

This is totally something a left-wing astroturfer wouldn't say. Very convincing, friend.

>>713379098
You should never, ever, ever take medication. However ineffective (obviously shooting heroin is probably more likely to kill you than taking Abilify), psychiatric medication is poisoned designed to give weird kids/nerds brain damage. End of discussion.

>>713380687
Haha yes, yes, im a part of the woke mafia trying to chop your dick off, and hypnospace outlaw fits exactly and squarely in my world view. If youre not a woman, gay, or transvestite, this games NOT for you!

>>713380826
Seroquel saved my life desu

>>713378705
Finish your game

>>713375365
The game isn't even remotely political.

>>713381556
He wasted years worth of money and has no job now.
It's entirely his fault for being unable to actually work on his project, but it's also retarded to say a couple months of Patreon dollars outweigh all the years of money wasted on a failed project.

>>713381556
tell that to pokemon clover devs

>>713378367
>spoiler
Do it you fucking coward.

Is there any game that comes anywhere close to the sheer SOVLfulness of Hypnospace? Feels like a once in a lifetime experience.

>>713380826
I'd say it depends. If you're an actual schizo having audio hallucinations so bad you can't even focus, yeah you need that shit.
But overall I do think people are over medicated currently.

>all people wanted was Hypnospace Outlaw 2
>feature creeps himself into canceling the game
god DAMN IT

>>713375365
>Is it true Hypnospace Outlaw is a left wing game?
No
Its a masterpiece that everyone should play.

>>713375118 (OP)
Wow, ive been waiting for this for a long time.
What the fuck?

>>713375118 (OP)
It died because it became woke. Trump forced the publisher to pull funding.

Im so glad they blew a bunch of time and money on Slayers X

>>713384205
I think that project turned a profit though. He was working on it while his hired coders were building the mechanics for dream settler.
Not like it mattered in the end, since he never actually managed to come up with any story or puzzles for dream settler.
In a world without Slayers X it still would have been canceled cause he just had no ideas for a hypnospace sequel besides the gimmicks.

>>713375118 (OP)
Hypnospace was never good.

>>713385079
Zoom Zoom

at least he seems to be intentioned on finishing slayers x. remember it was supposed to get extra levels a few years ago? frankly i have no idea what would those levels even be, the slayers z saga?

>>713384205
>a bunch of time and money
That seems like it was put out pretty quick

>>713386742
In his little crybaby video, he said he took time away from dream settler to make it.
Im a little annoyed at how much of a faggot he sounds

>>713376535
I played it for 10 minutes and it considers light namecalling illegal harassment that must be censored from the internet
no thanks libcuck

>>713387698
I cannot fathom being this retarded and illiterate. What a charmed life you must lead.

>my problem is that i made a design document and i tried to follow it
>also we never actually started any meaningful work on the game, there is no game, there never was a game, and all we have to show for it is a... spreadsheet reader and some minigames
i'd love to see this design document that they were allegedly following

>>713380826
ADHD meds turned me into an honor roll student and I would have not graduated high school without them

>>713375118 (OP)

>>713376208
I would never even bother without someone on my team who was a good project manager. Creative people are fucking terrible at project management usually

>>713375118 (OP)
>wasted all his time and effort making a new operating system instead of just making the game
Didn't Jonathan Blow drive himself bankrupt doing this shit recently?

Terrible to hear, I was really looking forward to it

What a shame.

>>713389005
are people on this board legit 10 IQ? is it browns, zoomers, or both? he explicitly says the opposite

>>713378367
I thought zelda was the land and links name was just the legend

Project scope bloat is killer for small titles

>>713390306
Really seems like he had a core idea for the game (making their own version of Flash) and as soon as it was going to be impossible to complete and needed to be cut, he lost all creativity for realizing the project.

I'm still fuckong thermonuclear about this. Puts it on blast for 3 years as his next big thing, fucks off for two years to do a rather mediocre boomer shooter, then when he finally comes back to his senses and realizes he's gotta do this thing that he set up himself he completely falls apart and "burns out" basically admitting that no fucking work got done in the 5 years or so we know it was in development on. I'm not going to pretend like this wasn't some herculean task but for fuck sakes, the feature creep and overscoping killed this thing graveyard dead because the avant-garde cocksucker couldn't pull his head out his ass for long enough to just chip away at the actual gameplay part and not the little tools and minigames. Fucking disgraceful, but hey at least he can fuck off and make, "software for kids" or whatever the fuck he wants to do.

>>713375365
No, it's a game about human beings, not politics or ideologies. There is zero ideological proselytizing in the game. And the writing is high quality, because it seems like shitposting at first, but then it starts to reveal itself as something full of meaning and emotion. I highly recommend the game, to be played slowly and enjoying the details. Not all the people and pages you encounter are equally interesting, but overall 90% of what you'll read, see, and hear is entertaining.

>>713388132
you best start fathoming it

Usually smaller games used to be left alone on /v/, free from the typical "divide and conquer" attempts you see in all the bigger threads. But I think even smaller games aren't safe anymore. Even on the Hypnospace guy's games there's an autist dedicated to trying to start an ideological war, which is really insane.
It can only be some kind of experiment where we users are being used as guinea pigs.

Fuck this gay earth

>>713392660
no pls i don't wanna

>>713392051
there is proselytizing but it's all done in-character
there isn't someone who's treated as the objective voice of reason, other than perhaps samantha and re3koning
