>it's actually a good game
Sure glad I didn't listen to the morons dogpiling Thor

The indie game based on undertale and depression meme isn't actually just a meme huh?

what's good about it?

>>717702895 (OP)
you forgot to say who bought this post. you will not be paid till you disclose this information.

>>717702895 (OP)
Contrarianism has rotten its way into board culture long ago, but you’re trying too hard bro

>>717703115
OP will never say what is good about it.
OP is forever a faggot, as always.

>>717702895 (OP)
Not even your fans are willing to play this shit, Jason.

SAGE+HIDE

Can someone tell me what's different about this game from something like deltarune? They look like the exact same bullshit

Did Jason finally give up? Unc hasnt streamed in like two weeks

>>717705179
They are similar because this is an unfinished temu clone of it and its predecessor

>>717705179
never played either but from what I read, it'd be rude to deltarune to even compare it, even to something else like undertale or earthbound
it has no combat. as of today, there are only 2, 5 minutes long battles that are copy pasted from each other from from 7 years ago
the rest is a walking simulator, and I'm not just throwing shade at it, PS himself described it as a "CYOA game", basically you just select choices in menus and it changes the branch of the story you're in, it barely qualifies as a game. the only difference from a visual novel is that there is walking, and very rarely, minigames, that is all, 90% of the "content" is the "writing" which is on par with a 13 years old girl raised by reddit.

>>717705179
Deltarune has gameplay.

>>717705418
he also deleted all of his vods, fearing someone would unearth more dirt, and stopped being active on twitter

>>717705467
He does that then tries to fake you out with a false battle and judgement section in the first chapter.

>>717702895 (OP)
I couldn't get through it. It's so fucking boring. Like an even worse Omori, that at least had somewhat interesting battle mechanics

>>717705467
You overused commas

>>717705703
yes, i know, whacchu gunna do bout dat, bitch boi?

>>717705467
yeah heartbound is way worse than undertale or deltarune, writing wise it's about on the same level

>>717702895 (OP)
Hello ferretfucker
don't you have a dungeon to roach out?

>Thor would rather spend his time shilling his game on /v/ than actually code
Jason..

>>717703043
The funniest thing about this game is the fucking name lmao
It's proof Jason had 0 original ideas for this game

>>717705603
I think "lay low" is the best option for him right now. Every time he opens his mouth he sticks his foot in.

>>717706279
That's pretty much what he's doing right now. He's 'on vacation until morale improves' and yet spends that time deleting VODs and posting already finished shorts to Youtube. I think he's hoping by the time he comes back in like a week or two that it'll all have blown over and he'll be back to normal.

>>717706416

>>717706416
It'll never be back to normal
Once you become a lolcow, there is no escape

I hate how there are certain things that could make for a fun "le depression indie rpg" that don't get any build up nor any good payoff.
>Hook with your childhood dog getting killed and split off into these other worlds... undermined by the fact that we the player only spend a total of 2-5 minutes with this mutt
>Judgement section proving to your mum that you aren't like her... undermined by the fact you only have had 2 battles up to that point and most of the moral decisions don't make sense... and the fact it is only chapter 1.
>Battle system being wario ware microgames... that barely do any fucking damage and takes way too long for a microgame.
>Moral choices that do seem to have an effect (Even little decisions)... completely undermined by the fact the evil voice tells you pretty much what is the right and wrong choice.
>Turtle couple has an interesting conversation about relationships... that doesn't get expanded on because Animus will never finish
And those are the things the game could've done right but did it wrong, this isn't going into ideas that are just bad from the getgo, like dedicating an entire chapter to "Huh, office works sucks huh?"

>>717702895 (OP)

How does he do it

It appears that Heartbound will be a game that'll tug at the heartstrings and more by the time of its release, which, judging by the title, seems just right.

>>717708207
Can you just shut the fuck up, Jason?

anybody know where i can find some open source intelligence?

Haha great story Jason

On Wplace someone had marked his house (go to Olympia, Washington, move North towards a town called Vaughn and a road connecting it to Key Center, it's 1/3 of the way on the left) but it's noticeably gone now after he's made a post about joining his Wplace guild.

>>717702895 (OP)

>Battle system being wario ware microgames... that barely do any fucking damage and takes way too long for a microgame.
Yiik got crucified this. Why were people sucking this games micro cock before

>>717706707
this nigga played the ferret fucker game

>>717709115
people sucked it because he was the wholesome game dev streamer and also toby fox yelled at matpat years ago for now linking to it on a stream, so everyone defended it. the combat system is one of the handful of 'good' things people talk about it for.

>>717709115
>Why were people sucking this games micro cock before
Uhh, no?

>>717709115
Because this """""game""""" was only 2 hours long, and all 2 fights had nearly an hour of dialogue separating them.

And the fact it literally dropped two months after Deltarune Ch1 got everyone excited for more gameplay in this style.
Heartbound is very clearly trying to rip off some of the UT fans just based on the artwork alone.

>>717709408
The shill campaign on /v/ for that initial shorts spam was pretty heavy, I can see some anons getting duped into believing it if they didn't look into it enough to see him getting called out.
The amount of op spam sucking him off for "wow look what he said about the industry" or "why aren't you making a game yet look how easy this based dev says it is" and "toby fox, but good, undertale bad right guys?" was obnoxious as fuck.

>>717705179
This game is for fags while deltarune is for trannies

>>717709115
I guess a lot gamers would like to see and listen to game dev opinions on games, from like, insider side. Him working in Blizzard and developing his own game, while now memed into oblivion, gave him credibility.

His voice is nice to listen to, no matter if it's fake or not.

Also, his positivity and vibe are a plus to many.

>>717705418
He ate himself.

Wait a minute /v/.....wait a minute.....I'm not crazy
Hahahaha I'm not insane in the membrane XD you see /v/ let me explain how I figured out the answer to this puzzle

>>717713932
But you did play it?

>>717714359
yes i finished it

>>717705467
Honestly I'm not sure why he didn't just make a VN. Obviously I get wanting to cash in on the Undertale craze, but the game has literally no real gameplay. It's like if you tried to make a COD clone with no guns.

>>717714359
That isn't the gotcha you think it is. The anon could have played Ride to Hell Retribution as well. Doesn't mean anything other than that he is a Kusommelier.

I was legitimately surprised to learn the guy was trying to get into woodbury on SL as an openly faggoty furry when everyone else learned to hide it.. wasn't too surprised to learn he was running scripts off of ED/out of other people's banboxes

>>717705179
Deltarune has gameplay. Heartbound is 98% walking simulator, and the remaining 2% is a few minutes worth of Flashgame-tier minigames that were likely stapled on purely so that the dev could say could argue that it's not technically a visual novel.

What is this genre called?

>>717715420
Man Jason is such a faggot lmao. To think there's an indie "dev" worse than Yandev has gotta be the weirdest feeling.

>>717714542
Hi Retard/Child Born Before 2003, this anon is making reference to the movie Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl in which Officer James Norrington is taking inventory of the items on the captive Jack Sparrow's person when he makes the remark that Jack is "without a doubt one of the worst pirates I've ever heard of" prompting Jack to fire back "but you have heard of me.."

Glad I could explain this really really really easy one that you honestly could have just Googled, you're welcome and have a good day!

It's a ragebait thread, you just got epicly ragebaited by OP

>>717715642
The scene in pirates of the carribbean was also Jack being smug with his infamy, hence "a gotcha". Unless you are Jason Hall, there is no gotcha here. Doubly so since the anon established that he did not pay a cent. If it was a non sequitur joke, it wasn't funny and belongs in a eceleb review show skit. That post is a failure on all counts, Jason.

That was Champions of Breakfast. Picrel is Heartbound's entire DRM solution.

Its a walking sim with horrific millenial writing, almost zero "combat" and horrific tone shifts where you talk to lesbian furries.
Its dogshit

>>717717242
What was even the point of doing this?

yiff in hell furfag, they've become all to comfortable on the internet, back to the iso cubes you fucking retards

>>717715576
I genuinely don't understand how he managed to gain a following. How can someone build a cult of personality around a 3/10 demo that's stuck in development hell. You can clearly tell the guy desperately wanted to be the next Toby Fox, but had no understanding of humor or how to write charming characters. I know people throw this out way too often, but this game genuinely feels like it was designed specifically for Redditors.

>>717702895 (OP)
people aren't saying it sucks, people are saying he accepted over 60,000$ from fans between kickstarter and pre-release orders with the promise that he was going to work on the game, then he abandoned it for his streaming career
and its true, everything you played was made like 7 years ago and was used to trick people into giving him money

>>717715134
This sounds like someone who is in a relationship or is seeking a relationship in the future.

Pretty much yeah, except for those user name, user id and app id checks that is. Those are some really basic checks against a specific Steam emulator and that Spacewar loophole.

>>717717987
1. He had a genuine knowledge of how to promote himself on jewtube.
2. His fake deep voice helped sell his fake personality and credentials.
3. Majority if people did not care to fact check him, and people are way too trusting so when he constantly says shit like "I worked with the gooberman on hackerz stuff." People actually believed it.
At that point it was over.

Here's the pattern: join community, charm a few, shit on it when people don’t bow to you.

Loru has a video picking his story apart, but his viewers hare smoothbrained and take everything for granted.

>>717720312
I still can't get over his main shtick of "just make games bro" when he made a pretty barebones shmup and doesn't work on his RPG.
Also, he had a speech once of "Don't make your dream game straight away as your first game" which is true, that is good advice for the majority of people, but he did that with his *second* game which isn't much better.

>>717720312
It's so funny how he has the same patter behavior on every online community. He quit, to my knowledge, WoW, Ashes of Creation and EVE online EXACTLY the same way.

>>717720312
He didn't do the fake voice at first, he did it later on and said he went through a "second puberty"

>>717720327
I'd say his big mistake was trying to misrepresent a guy that's just generally authentic. The juxtaposition between him and Ross made it all the more apparent how much of a rat he is

>>717702895 (OP)
Interesting… if the game is this good, someone ought to write a Wikipedia article about it.

Can someone with more code experience tell me if this is a better way of writing dialogue/game event flags?
>Have some sort of dialogue file and a game event flag file
>Make a function that imports those game flags from the into an array with a key/value pair.
>The dialogue files includes details like flags that are required for it to show, next possible lines etc.
>Have a function that finds the correct line of dialogue, pull the information needed from the line it exists on, then check the flag key/value pairs to see what effects that dialogue has
>This way, the only thing that you would need to modify is the source dialogue/flag files since everything is just read off of those.
It's probably not a great solution, I only got serious about coding recently, but surely this is already a better method than what Mr. Figtree has done.

>>717720920
Nigga, just use a tree. Every option only needs to know it's parents and it's descendants.

>>717702895 (OP)
I like Earthbound as much as the next guy, but it has inspired so many cancerous indie rpgs.

>>717721279
That anon's method could be for dynamically building a tree, unless if I am reading his method wrong.

Watch it chud, 1 fight (that you're scripted to lose) and another fight that's half finished!

So more like at least 1 fight and a half

>>717722802
lmfao, people paid a kickstarter for this

why does this faggot keep saying there are multiple paths and this is why it takes so long?

TWO FUCKING FIGHTS IN 2 AND A HALF HOURS OF GAMEPLAY

HAHAHAHA

>>717702895 (OP)
Heartbound will never be good troon
Why the fuck do you no taste faggots shill every single game under the sun

>>717722950
Yeah, so far the only deviating paths seems to be whether a character exists or not (Which... doesn't have much impact) and what choices your mum criticizes you for.
Doesn't seem that difficult to program that.

>>717702895 (OP)
Hey jason. You're a faggot.

>>717722950
supposedly he adds a handful of decisions for interactions with characters then those paths lead into a handful more then later at the end its all supposed to get referenced and result in different endings that totally wont just be 12 different words or simply
>...
>...
>.......
>.......
>... I'm sorry, scrimblo
and each of those will count as different paths and endings, and the programming isnt his issue its churning out the high quality, emotional writing

>>717723179
>Doesn't seem that difficult
It does when you realize the way he's coded it is to go back and process every decision made that's associated with it and check it all over again. So every time he adds a choice that interacts with later decisions, which is every single piece of dialogue, he's having to go back and rewrite everything there. Including any time he ever goes back to rewrite something for some reason, which every even slightly competent writer does. Not doing this breaks the game.
Add to the fact that it's dialogue, something that surprisingly he's confessed at not being good at (a rarity considering he pretends to be a god at everything he does) and you'll realize why the game will never be released even if he spent another 30 years working on it every day

>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU HAVE TO USE VARIABLES FOR LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE VALUE YOU PASS INTO A FUNCTION EVER

Is it actually illegal to take voice clips for the sake of parody? If that's the case, then every channel that animates clips from let's plays would be in deep shit.

>>717724048
he didn't even use jason voice when he got the copyrighted

>>717724048
Not for a video, which is where the clip came from. His voice was never even in the actual game.

>>717722950
It really goes to show how fucking shit Jason is, even deltarune has combat encounters constantly and each chapter is capped off by a boss and a secret hard boss despite being known as the streamer friendly wannabe VN game.

>>717706592
i hope so like why the fuck do we want these kind of people to return let alone succeed? that would signal more of clones of this shitter's behavior to propagate.

>>717724213
>>717724248
But if it was in the game, would it be? I'm just trying to conceptualize on what level of "wrong" is Maldavius on.
In any case, he doesn't seem to like parodies at all.

>>717724327
I suspect it would be if it was monetized, yeah

>>717702895 (OP)
So, are you doing this for free or did Jason pay you to post here?
