It’s not a bad game, you just hate the creator

It's not even finished after seven years, how can you say it's not bad?

>>716025889 (OP)
It's not even a game period. It's an early access demo in development for a decade.

>>716025889 (OP)
It's amazing how this game makes YandereDev looks good in comparison

Akshually, it is bad.
>it's boring on purpose, tee-hee!
How deep, now chug a mana pot and face the wall.

>>716025889 (OP)
Games good thor is a genius seethe some more its only making him richer and getting more exposure for his game and channel.

>the compiler created a switch case, this means your game is bad

I mean theres barely any game at all

>>716026616
Nobody is watching your video. Kys.

it’s the type of game I wanted to make when I was 15. an rpg maker undertale clone with barely any gameplay that tries to be deep and emotional but also charming and funny but ends up just being cringe.

Am I supposed to know who the creator is?

>>716027868
Toby Fox

I played Dustborn during the nextfest before it became the poster child for twitter memes, just to make sure it was as ass as it looked. It was worse. Heartbound is the same amount of expectation and reality.

>>716025889 (OP)
What gameplay

>>716026501
This. I would have at least some respect for his opinion if he'd have published 2-3 solid indies, but this clown can't even do one sub-RPGmaker game in a decade.

This is actually better than deltarune holy shit. Too bad pirate sucks

I don't like him and I think the game is mediocre at best, but I feel like some of the videos critiquing his code are incredibly nit-picky.

Like the one where they act like clearing these alarms one-by-one instead of using a loop is the end of the world. It makes zero fucking difference. He wrote it in the way that is the easiest for him to read and there is absolutely zero performance difference in doing it this way. Going back and changing this is pointless.

>>716029229
Depending on the compiler, this is faster than using a for loop anyways. Shit like that is just nitpicking.

>>716029304
Yeah if you use a 35 year old compiler without O flags

It's literally Undertale but good. People just hate the creator.

>>716029229
There's nothing wrong with being shit at coding
99% of people who play your game won't care
But when you start saying you're a god and your coding is perfect with zero flaws, you deserve any criticism sent your way
When you start pulling up other games coded by beginner devs who don't know the ins and outs of coding as a way to prop up your own work you're a piece of shit
When you make up bullshit about the limitations of an engine when the engine is fully capable of doing what you want you just look like an idiot
I'll give his game the credit where it's due. The environment art is pretty good. I think the choice of making every area fully understandable by everyone regardless of colorblindness is a cool thing to see.

>>716029229
I don't care how the code looks, as long as it runs acceptably, and isn't buggy. Is there a case of either of those in his game?

>>716029229
It is nitpicky and his code is largely fine in terms of doing what it's supposed to.
But pretty much every line of code he writes would be flagged in a code review, his style is extremely weird for someone that presents himself as god tier game dev. It's basically proof that he never wrote a single line of code at blizzard (we already knew that but now it's reinforced)

>>716025889 (OP)
It's carried entirely by aesthetics. The writing and what little gameplay it has is downright dreadful. It wouldn't even get a second glance by literally anyone if not for the artist.

I never played it, and I never will. And that's the whole point.

>>716025889 (OP)
It is an objectively bad game, regardless of how much of a retarded faggot the ferret fucker is.

>>716026990
>Nobody
>almost 2 million views

The game isn't finishable. Thor didn't realize that each new player choice adds exponentially more work, and at current he has over 600 character choices that persist through the whole of the game

Walk and talk

I love threads like these because OP never talks about what he likes about the game. The only good parts of the game are the parts not done by Jason, that being the art (If you are into furry art) and music.

>>716025889 (OP)
Earthbound is overrated so by definition so are it's clones.

>gameplay consists of walking and talking to quirky, undertale inspired characters
>two battles for the entire game
>story is told through flashbacks
This piece of shit makes YiiK look like the second coming of christ

>quirky earthbound clone with themes of depression and trauma
lol
lmao
KEKAROO, even

Jason inspired me to look into solo development work as a total amateur who's never coded anything in my life besides mastercam for a cnc mill
Because even I can surely finish a project in under 10 years

>>716026691
>its only making him richer and getting more exposure for his game and channel.

Oof.

Pirate it and actually try it for yourself. Videos don't do it justice. The level of scam needs to be personally felt to be believed. In 8 fucking years, this motherfucker has put out less and significantly worse content than Undertale's DEMO.

>>716025889 (OP)
OP has not played the full game either and just wants off topic ecleb drama posts.

If this retard used RPGMaker, the game would've been finished by now.

>1st proper chapter of the game
>Already use the mommy issues, boss fight fake out and judgement section
What did he mean by this? That type of shit you would save for late game.

>quirky earthbound inspired game

TRASH
also I've never seen a game receive "overwhelmingly negative" reviews. Worst I've seen is just "negative"

It's so tiresome.

You didn't watch the video.

>>716032601
Hi Jason

>>716025889 (OP)
It's not a game, it's a scam to make undertards pay early access for some guys twitch stream.

>>716025889 (OP)
he uses voice changer because he sounds like a twink faggot and just by that merit he is gay ass fucklord and his unfinished undertailbuttplugslop that has the exact same letters as earthbound (i.e. mother) just rearranged can go fuck itself in its ass with a nigger cock

>>716025889 (OP)
hold up, isn't that the game that had 41% off to piss off troons
is thor actually based???

>>716032769
No.

>>716029229
That's fine, but call yourself a veteran coder and people will have a giggle

>>716026501
Steam's abandonware notification in the EA banner sure lit a fire under his ass
It was funny as fuck when shitware released a micropatch to erase the "ONE YEAR ABANDONWARE DONUT BUY" stain and steam denied it enough effort so he had to work harder to do a real patch

Not that anon but the viseo says nothing new just repeats that his dialog handling is bad which he showcased in an earlier video

He is just milking it now

>>716033152
You literally did not watch the video you replied to which didn't even go over his code.

>>716025889 (OP)
the music is actually pretty good, and some of the assets convincingly hit an earthbound/secret of mana vibe.
but the writing is just pure juvenile nothingness. dude should have had the good sense to let a competent writer take a pass at the script and look at the plot structure. but instead he came up with this "choose your own adventure" gimmick thinking it could salvage the lackluster story, i guess, while giving him cover to work within the same levels for years. unfortunately there's a reason why much larger teams have to streamline their "player choices" to the point they're often not even satisfying--they take loads of work and most players won't even see most of it unless you build in a flow chart. and if the player isn't invested in the story to begin with, it's obv not worth all the extra effort
the sad part is it's too late to scrap the idea since the whole game is strung together with spaghetti code built around it. so it's just destined to be this unfinished messy teen angst project made by a grown man who presumably took too much adderall and thought he was a god designer

>>716033190
Yeah sorry I misread the posts, thought it was replying to
