Come on, it's not THAT bad.

90% of people on /v/ who claim to hate it haven't played it

I remember playing the demo years ago and it was hilariously edgy

it insist upon itself

This is so pathetic, holy ego andy. He just attacks people without even understanding the context.

For a game that’s barely more gameplay than a visual novel, its story fucking sucks.

And the worst part is the extremely unsubtle intrusive thoughts voice that basically tells you which options in this “choices matter” game. Lemme guess, when (if) the game ever gets more content the evil voice is the dark part of your heart.
Wow dude this game totally isn’t derivative tumblr slop that copies the bad parts of undertale.

I had more joy pirating the game than I did the three actual bits of gameplay I was so graciously given.

Lord Frogmire said it was bad so it's bad. Case closed.

I played it, and it is unironically bad.

I've been a very casual C/C++ dev for the past ten years, and even I can tell his code is abominably bad.
How the fuck doesn't this retard know how to use enums and named constants? His entire codebase if full of magic numbers. Not even YandereDev is that stupid.

>>715480339
because he intentionally makes his code bad to make it seem longer and more complex to his viewers. It doesn't exist to make a playable game, it just exists so he can have code in the background of his stream before he starts playing games.

>>715478673 (OP)

Could have done a simple shader/overlay, bravo retard

I hate there is a genuinely cool idea in there but it is executed so wrong

That IS a cool concept for a boss fight but everything surrounding it destroys any impact it would have.

>>715479887
I'm glad he pointed out the pointless switch statement. That pissed me off.

>>715480429
Considering how long that Undertale/Earthbound clone is taking, I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case.
Also, git repo of +10 years is empty. Dude does fuck all.

>>715480528
It's only used in one specific room, so its like a tech demo thats too shitty to implement widely.

>>715480698
HE DOES MONTHLY UPDATES RETARD, JUST LAST MONTH HE...... fixed a bug if you were playing on a Russian steamdeck and you hit the start button 4 times in one frame..... CHAPTER 3 WILL BE DONE REAL SOON GUYS I SWEAR!!!!

>>715480339
lmao

The best part when a lolcow dev has their code analyzed I learn new things.
I've always wondered how lighting with 2d pixel games worked, now I know.

>>715480429
>and more complex to his viewers
I don't think that's the case, as he comments almost every line of code as seen >>715481482
If your code is well written, you don't need so much commenting.
But using the wrong data type and magic numbers can make debugging a lot harder when the issue is in a global variable where the relevant comment is not present. It's just bad practices all around.
He's just a coon artist who pretends to be a hackerman.

Why does it exist? There's a billion other shovelware depression simulator games on steam- figuratively speaking.

>>715481482
>question_true == 1
No way he is not pretending to be retarded hahahahahahahhaha

Reminder it was recently discovered that the game runs lighting 40 times less efficiently than it should.
It runs at just 20 frames per second! That’s 1 frame for every year of industry experience Jason “Sore” Hall claims to have!

>>715482595
I got to the part where there was a switch statement that only had a default value.

Maybe the language he's using is retarded and he can't simply
> if question_true && !(question_asked)

>>715482595
I have a slight problem with JCs first video. I understand it's better form to use true false in a boolean so that you always immediately know you're using a boolean, but I think he is overplaying the significance of using true/false over 0/1 which is a bit strange considering he kind of breezes over the nightmare of Jason's array

>>715483106
Yeah, the Slop News Network one is better, but this one isn't bad and brings up some utterly baffling pieces of code and how bad the magic number situation actually is.
It isn't just array indices

>>715482595
its been interesting to watch the algorithm bless roach roasting videos

>>715483049
What the fuck are you on about? Bro, it's fucking C#. How do you not know that?
The issue is that he's using constant int literals instead of boolean for comparison. It's not even complex, it's just plain stupid.

I dont like the guy but (purely because hes an ugly faggot furry named figtree, i dont give a shit about SKG) if he didn't fumble his image with the SKG shit it would be unthinkable to criticize his game and all of these videos would be getting dislike bombed and hit with "ITS A LE INDIE GAME BRO STOP BEING NEGATIVE" (outside of 4chan of course) In another timeline this game would be another depressionslop indie darling because it was made by "popular guy™"

>>715483397
I think it's GML which is very similar to C# and Java

>>715482869
7 years at Blizzard. 20 years industry experience. 2 defcon badges.

>>715483397
Its GML, and unfortunately he's not good at it, he's better off using the baked in tools of the editor than all the weird shits he's trying to pull off.

>>715483049
>>715482531
GML is kinda like C (at least if you're writing ANSI C), in that 0 is treated as false and any non-0 value is true. GML does offer aliases for true and false, and the docs recommend using those aliases just in case GMS ever gets an actual boolean type.
But, using 0 and 1 for boolean stand-ins isn't anything particularly special, mostly a matter of code readability I guess.

>>715483049
I'm pretty sure you can do that in GML.

>>715483397
GML is not C#, GML is its own thing.

>>715483507
Maybe, maybe not. The biggest problem is the timeframe for the game coming out, 8 years and counting for 1 fully finished chapter, a "97%" finished chapter 2 and the beginning of chapter 3 for a 5 chapter game with a game that is mostly dialogue and very little combat is going to push people's buttons eventually.

>>715483507
lol I’d never really thought of the Depression Quest comparison. Time is a flat circle. All we need is for it to come out that he fucked someone for a positive review

>>715483106
But then he'll use 0/1/2... as numbers in other parts that. So it becomes confusing if the number used is a truth value or a number value.

>>715483541
It wouldn't be as bad if he at least showed he knew how to use file security, that would show his hacking background, but he even doesn't check if a file exists before trying to write to it.

I watched my sister play it and it was like watching paint dry

>>715483514
>>715483609
>>715483635
Even if that's the case, 'true' and 'false' keywords are supported in Gamer Maker just like pretty much every other modern language. There's no reason for him to be using 0 and 1 for comparison.

>>715483106
Real niggas just use if (variable)
His take about xml files over program data is also amateurish, it has benefits for a large team working in parallel but there is no compilation cost to dumping a bunch of raw data in a file as opposed to loading it (and every old game did it that way anyway)

>>715483234
You mean the one where he cracks the “unpiratable DRM” in 37 seconds?
https://youtu.be/6KtzADIW0tg

>>715483703
Yeah I get it, I'm not saying "do not use true/false" but 0/1 in place of True/false is relatively common, so looking at that with an air of disgust while taking 5 seconds to say "Yeah making a 1000 piece array that doesn't adequately describe anything is bad moving on" is an odd decision to me

>>715483823
Yeah, but the main benefit I got from that video was the solutions to the architectural problems of pirate's code. It's actually good shit. The serialization part answered a lot of questions to me how games save and load data.

>>715483786
>>715483703
The thing is that there isn't anything inherently wrong with using 0 and 1 for boolean stand-ins. What's more important is that if you do pick to use number constants over built-in keywords or the like, be consistent with it.
There are far bigger issues to worry about than boolean conventions.

>>715483835
I believe 3.14squeaks cope about the array is that he coded it bad on purpose for an ARG because it “makes it easier to hack”

>>715478753
I played the demo 10 years ago, I can't imagine it got much better. It's just a VERY mediocre Undertale "clone" (though he didn't seem to takeaway anything from it aside from the fact that people like furry animal characters). Something funny is that Pirate Software and his mods wrote the entire wikipedia page for it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heartbound_(video_game)

>>715483823
this has been the best video
his antipiracy has no advanced encryption techniques or defcon skills, just takes a few flipped bits in a hex editor/debugger

>>715483920
GML user manual says to use true and false in case they add booleans in future. 8 years working on Heartbound and he hasn’t read the manual?

>>715484053
I liked how the code didn’t even reference itself to check if it had been tampered with

>>715483823
>dev named piratesoftware
>is one of the few indies to care about trying to stop piracy

>>715478753
i certainly haven't and i don't plan to
don't see why i should

What's the actual "hook" of this game? Dog gets killed by an eldritch monster and the main character feels guilty, then goes to a furry dimension that tests him with an evil side egging him on to do evil things?

>>715481873
>a coon artist
my dumpster diving racoon friends find this comparison offensive

>>715484068
Thor is wrong and he should use true and false....buuuuuut there are such bigger fish to fry and it's an easily misconstrued statement that sells the wrong information to noobs. The same kind of easily misconstrued statements that told retards on /v/ and pirate software
>if/then statements are universally bad
>anytime you have more than 2 pieces of data put it into an array
>ALWAYS use true/false in a boolean

>>715484164
He’s said his name was chosen for SEO so people searching how to pirate software will find him

>>715484068
Then again, if GMS does update and introduce a boolean type, it won't cause any issues for this particular code. It'll evaluate just the same.
Like yeah, I agree it might be silly to use 0/1, but it's not that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things. Better focus on more structural issues, like the dialogue system and story flag handling.

>>715480339
For noobs like me, could you explain where he could have used enums? I understand constants instead of magic numbers, but not where he could have used enums.

>>715484262
>>if/then statements are universally bad
Do you think that's why he has stupid shit like
>switch(condition)
>case 1:
>do something then break
>case 2:
>do nothing then break
?

>>715483920
The fucking documentation uses false and true everywhere: https://manual.gamemaker.io/lts/en/GameMaker_Language/GML_Overview/Language_Features/If_Else_and_Conditional_Operators.htm

Just because you can drink soup with a fork doesn't mean that's the best way to do it. Comparing to 0 and 1 should be left to extreme edge cases only. Yes, a case alone isn't going to brick the entire codebase, but these sloppy and amateurish mistakes add up really fast. And there are a fuck ton of those in Pirate's code.

>>715484262
>Thor
>le inglorious basterds WW2 runner-up man holding up 3 fingers.png
His name is Jason. Or Maldavius Figtree. Or Malding Faggotry. Or Roach Wizard. Or OOM.

>>715484262
Those examples are not the same, there is literally no reason to not use true/false.

>>715484407
100%, it's also why I'm certain he has his disgusting array, mostly sound advice misapplied by retards.
His initial statement on Undertale is right, good code is code that works, but he's trying so hard to look intelligent that he's fucked his game up, will likely have to do a full rewrite, and looked stupid in the process

>>715484424
>The fucking documentation uses false and true everywhere
Sure, use recommended practices unless you have a good reason to break them.
>but these sloppy and amateurish mistakes add up really fast
Guess what, using 0/1 for booleans isn't one of those.
This is like how people complained about yandev's uses of strings and if-else, how the comparisons and amount of if-elses would somehow would cause performance issues, when yandev's actual issues are more structural (if-else mountains are hard to change, maintain or reason about, how the menus are handled, how things were rendered, etc).

all he had to do was say sorry for the raid wipe

>>715484407
I do the break shit in C# because it'll iterate through the whole list otherwise after hitting my desired condition. Only a desired effect if you don't want multiple cases matched though.

>>715484706
>good code is code that works
20fps on his pixel shit QTE combat slop game by the way.
But he ran it on a fridge so it must be efficient guys!

>>715484804
I still think the second life, Ashens of creation and EVE online stuff would've caught up with him, but it would've been a much slower burn.

>>715484867
See, the problem isn't the break, it's the fact he has two cases and one of them literally does nothing.

>>715478673 (OP)
i've played the entire thing. it's THAT bad

>>715484804
It's impossible for a narcissist to ever say sorry because from their viewpoint they can do no wrong.

>>715484915
How is the turtle character? That's the only remotely interesting design I have seen in the reviews of this game.

>>715484874
I'm not defending Jason, but you don't need to stab him to death with a paperclip, the gun is right there on the table, and he loaded it for you....

>>715484986
you talk with them and then the game ends

>>715484804
No all he had to do was not build a persona on lies

>lied about what he actually did at Boizzard
>lied about how much coding experience he actually has
>lied about Mr Robot stealing a defcon write up from a team that didn’t even win the challenge
>lied about not having time to work on his game while he’s streaming 9 hours a day
>lied about how often he updates his game
>lied about his skill in WoW
>lied about being out of mana
>lied about his false DMCA CLAIM
>lied about stop killing games
>lied about review bombs
He can’t fucking help himself. He is a compulsive liar and that’s why everyone is tearing him to shreds

>>715484804
the fact that this guy's internet downfall can be traced back to him not taking 2 seconds to apologize for a raid wipe in a twitch streamer wow guild and then moving on like anyone else would have done is the funniest shit ever

>>715484387
Not that anon, but I've seen snippets of his code where there's a list of possible reactions an NPC can have to your actions. And instead of using an enum with proper descriptive names, he just used a bunch of numbers and commented what they do next to their instantiation. That is awful because in the "wild" there won't be any comment telling you what it does. And to make things worse, he uses a separated file for declaring variables, which can make debugging issues even worse.
Yes, he could also have used named constants for that list, but when you have a bunch of related values like that, it's better to use an enum instead, it just makes things cleaner and tidier. And yes, enums are supported in Game Maker.

His code (barely) works, but he did everything in the worst way possible.

>>715485086
Literally all he had to do was say "my bad guys, I panicked" and none of this would have ever happened

>>715485086
Don't forget
>Lies about his intentions with his talks with the EVE online devs

>>715484740
>Guess what, using 0/1 for booleans isn't one of those.
It really does, and if you think otherwise, you never worked on any relatively complex project.
You sound like Pirate himself trying to defending his retarded code.

>>715485149
Im not so sure anymore. I (personally) and I'm starting to think many others have been chomping at the bit for this fag to go away, the WoW event truly is a nothing burger, wow is a fat game for fans, who fucking cares? We care, strictly because it makes him look bad.

>>715485301
It was a nothingburger that he quintuple downed on, was during a big streamer event with huge viewership, and served as a starting point for people to bring more of his past actions to light
Far far far less people would care about this if he hadn't fucked up in that moment

>>715485301
There's something specifically about this guy that either makes you hate his guts, or makes you want him to be your e-daddy. If you've dealt with a narcissist even once in your life, you can pin him for what he is after hearing him talk for a few minutes. But if you're young, impressionable, or autistic in a certain way, you're completely charmed by his deep voice and confidence, and supposed "experience."

>>715485123
Another vantage to using emurators for lists like that is that you can add a new item to the list without having to worry about its value, even though if you really want, you can force a value.

It's funny, before his first stream on SKG, the only thing I knew about this guy is one short where someone pointed out that the & looks like someone dragging their butt against the floor.

>>715485149
That would also be untrue though. The idea that he was just scared of losing his character is giving him too much credit.
He got away immediately and then burned his mana so he could claim he was out. He wanted to party to die because as far as he was concerned they deserved it.
He’s a little microtyrant. Have you seen the clip of him banning the oom ferret guy this week?
>one of his ferret dies
>supposedly of cancer, but the guy with a ferret rescue is also a furry with a ferret fursona so who knows if that can be trusted
>someone in his chat jokes that the ferret died because it was out of mana
>comment is auto-deleted because Jason bans any mention of the WoW incident
>he brings the comment up on screen
>declares it’s not enough just to ban this guy from chat, he’s going to report this guy to Twitch
>stops the entire stream and says he’s going to sit there and wait to see how long it takes Twitch to ban this guy
The man is off his rocker. He’s one of the biggest narcissists I’ve ever seen and he has insanely petty impulses that compel him to want to see people punished for slighting him.
That’s the real reason he did nothing in the WoW raid. Don’t give that faggot the benefit of the doubt by saying he panicked.

Fuck, even compare it to that other game where he accidentally aggro’d the thing that wiped the party
>before he knows what aggro’d it he says he’s going to watch back the clip and kick whoever did it
>realizes he did it and suddenly he’s saying he was “100% correct” to play as he did and that’s “not on me”

>>715485296
I've worked with C projects that used 0/1 instead of macros for true/false. If you use C99 or anything past it, just use _Bool.
All I'm saying is that you can call his use of 0/1 silly, but it's not what makes the code actually shitty. It's what I'd call low-hanging fruit: easy to understand, but in the grand scheme it's sensationalist nonsense that's easier for non-programmers to latch onto.

>>715478783
Cosmobreeder is based though.

>>715485301
>>715485537
pirate would still be a 30k streamer with million views youtube shorts if the wow thing hadn't happened. yes he'd still be a piece of shit with the whole stop killing games thing but everything else would've been a nothing burger


at the very least you JUST KNOW a narcissistic sociopath like piratesoftware seethes and cries every single night due to the fact that he's losing viewers, losing subs, losing followers and losing money even if he's still rich

>>715481482
>84 decades of experience
>// Start conversation

I can see all his experience, it's like watching someone going directly from punch cards to Python.

If you have to look up the entry of your array every single time you're using it, you're using it wrong

>>715485721
>That would also be untrue though.
it doesn't matter if it's true or not
It would have stopped all the other streamers from shitting on him

>>715486207
But my point is he’s getting eviscerated because he keeps lying. The truth always comes out and that’s what’s biting him.

>>715478673 (OP)
>>715478753
The game is about how Pirate's self-insert has mommy issues, since his mom called him lazy, and the point of the game is for you to show that you're a "good" person and "better" than her, by doing "good" moral video game choices. I'm not joking. That's what it comes down to.

>>715486314
As I said >>715480610 that could be a neat thing for a story based vidya... but it has no fucking weight to it.

>>715486286
Yes, I know. But the big name content creators and streamers wouldn't have jumped on him if he had just lied and said he made a mistake in that moment.
This wouldn't have blown up if he had just swallowed his pride in that singular moment

As a solo developer who has ventured through a NEET and a wagecuck phases and is now having a stable income with a relatively chill schedule, I gotta give Thor a little credit. Because he showed me an example of what NOT to do as a developer. I cannot comprehend how you can be such a massive faggot that has all the exposure, all the money from his beloved subs and still not manage to make it. If I was as rich as this motherfucker that allows himself to sit in one spot for hours on a daily basis, I'd wall up and grind non-stop (while streaming it ofc).
>>715478753
It's bad because it haven't been in development for ages.

>>715485086
You forgot his most recent claim of death threats.

>>715486771
That's just part and parcel of e-celeb drama, false or otherwise.

You turn a 1 into a 0
It is literally that easy

>>715486740
To be fair, Toby Fox's Undertale code was pretty trash too, but people don't give him shit because he doesn't constantly act like an arrogant "hackerman" who knows it all and thinks he's always right.
Being a noob and writing shitty code is fine to a certain extent, just don't act like a dunning kruger know-it-all.

oh its bad

>>715486191

Tuned into his stream for a bit of hatewatching. All his sycophants are saying exactly what the guy criticizing his code mentioned - "it doesn't matter what the code is like as long as it works, no one else needs to work on it hurrr". Yeah until you yourself need to fix or change something further down the line and it takes forever because you made a mass of spaghetti

>>715489873
I think a fitting analogy for his godawful code is to compare it to an electrical system:
1. You can have all your wiring done tidily, properly insulated, wires spliced with the correct tools, labels or color coded if necessary, cable ties, etc.
2. You can have a third world slum tier wiring, where the whole thing is a spaghetti of cables and splicing is done haphazardly.

On the surface, both seemingly work, but the second one will be way more likely to break or stop working, and when it inevitably does, it will be a lot harder to find the source of the problem and fix it.
For someone who is constantly giving development advice to people, his code is beyond unacceptable, and he set a really bad example by not fixing that garbage.

>>715491068
Not wanting to be pedantic but already being, I think one flaw of that analogy is that a "proper" electrical system not only requires considerable effort but also costs more. While writing code that loosely abides by good practices does not even require that much effort, and it costs nothing. In fact, it can save you a lot of development money in the long run.
There's absolutely no excuse for Thor's codebase to be that bad.

It's embarrassing that a 38 year old wrote this game. It'd be one thing if it was "I'm going to channel my inner teenage chuuni to write this", it's another that no, he is taking this seriously.

>even from a fellow streamer's toddler daughter.
QRD, this sounds funny.

I lost my shit when I saw someone in his chat get instantly perma banned for saying one of his ferrets died of mana loss.

Is that fucking real? People fall for this?

>>715494990
LOL

>>715495016
It's actually a joke tweet from Yandev of all people.

>>715478753
I already played Deltarune, why would I need to play a downgrade?

>>715495016
>uses true and false
this code is too advanced for thor

What's up with the latest wave of "programmer" grifters on youtube? Why are they being so recommended?

>>715479896
how can people get away with it? toby made 'tale in 8 months

>>715479887
Synthcucks...

Because the algorithm is promoting videos that are going after Jason. It's kind of hilarious since Jason blew up because he took advantage of Youtube shorts and now more and more people are finding out what a piece of shit he is because the algorithm loves those videos.

>>715494738
Not a programmer but couldn't that code be shortened to if even number return true, if odd number return false?

>>715494990
>so cousin is his first name?
>what, are you fucking stupid zack? he's cousin, it's a prefix
alright these aussie lads alright

>>715495531
You'd use modulo and check the result, yes.
There was (maybe) a case where someone actually wrote the if-else tree out, and it's been kind of a running meme for couple decades now. Usually such memes are associated with a cartoon image of a graduate student.

>go to steam discussion for game
>nearly entire first 2 pages are locked threads
>most of them aren't even bashing PS or the game

Seriously how fucked is this retard in the head?

>>715496267
What's in bug reports?

>>715484740
>This is like how people complained about yandev's uses of strings and if-else, how the comparisons and amount of if-elses would somehow would cause performance issues, when yandev's actual issues are more structural (if-else mountains are hard to change, maintain or reason about, how the menus are handled, how things were rendered, etc).
Yeah... not to say any of this guys code is good, but every time a "look at this shitty code" conversation comes up on /v/ I think of this meme

>>715496267
Ignoring that he's an asshole, it's kinda amazing how he has no fanbase presence on any social media whatsoever besides his Twitter replies and own discord, probably because he 1984s every single place of discussion. His own subreddit hasn't had a post in months because he deletes every post that's even somewhat negative.

>>715496842
Even his sycophants are dwindling. He's lost 170k on Youtube, and 50k on Twitch.

>>715483049
i used to make games in gamemaker, you can infact do if question_true && !(question_asked)

>>715483397
gamemaker uses a psuedo javascript language called gml, not c#

>>715497234
I like to think GML is a weird bastard child between C and javascript.

>>715478673 (OP)
Wtf is this? Why am I finding out about this on 4chan of all places?

>>715486895
I don't follow this nor do I care, but does 1 shitty thing happening to him excuse everything else he's done? that's dumb

>>715486872
That’s based though

>>715498404
It probably didn't even happen. It's the most classic thing for a "public figure" who did something stupid to claim they have been swatted or suffered death threats.

The only way Pirate can escape from this whole mess is to claim he has always been a tranny and any criticism to him is transphobia.

>>715493894
Sounds like Undertale then? Just with less fights.

>doesn't even know how to comment code

i swear he was just brewing coffee at blizzard.

>>715485721
>>stops the entire stream and says he’s going to sit there and wait to see how long it takes Twitch to ban this guy
what an actual faggot. Do you have a video of this?

>nobody will ever know the game is held together with ducttape and semen because the game is stable and performs well
>in 15 years some nostalgic kids will decompile the game to get it working on modern systems and uncover a completely unworkable rats nest
problem /v/?

>>715478783
yet undertroon and deltatroon get a free pass for the same thing.

why does he comment EVERYTHING?

questionAsked = 1
//checks if you asked quest

dick_sucked = true
//it's true they sucked a dick


ITS SELF EVIDENT YOU DONT NEED TL ADD A COMMENT

>>715503196
i do this too lol. my excuse is that i have actual clinical OCD though and i just feel compelled to

>>715502974
>in 15 years some nostalgic kids will decompile the game
No one would care about some random indie shovelware. What really impressive is that shit works actually. This whole drama is actually great GameMaker advertisement. Those who developed that engine are the real heroes. Thing is almost retard proof.

>>715502897
Wani, from the makers of Snoot.

>>715481482
I'm screaming. just use a fucking Boolean Jesus Christ

>>715478673 (OP)
Let me guess: you watched the HO video.

always funny to see 3rd semester cs students try to dunk on someone elses code
>ZOMG YOU CANT JUST WRITE if (condition == 1) YOU HAVE TO WRITE if (condition) ITS WAY FASTER AND BETTER
the code is awful but not for such superficial reasons

I cannot code for shit. Yet even I could see some examples and understand why what he was doing was horrendous. I have no idea how this guy pretended to be a veteran gamedev for so long.
