I'm Crap posted:tim schafer becoming a piece of poo poo is one of the most depressing things ever, really The thing is tim was always a shithead when it came to managing a studio as shittily as possible, but everyone was too high off of psychonauts' status of being the undersold indie darling to realize it, where we got these lol narratives about tim being a victim of the evil majesco being a slave driver to double fine, which was a fancy way of saying "enforcing deadlines and refusing their third or fourth loan" brutal legend should've been a wake up call but welp

I don't understand how this can be a video game controversy if nobody is threatening to rape Peter Molyneux to death.

Molyneux: "I know Godus didn't quite work out as we planned, but we're happy to announce that you can now fund our new project on kickstarter!" RPS: "Well, we all got burnt pretty badly with godus but here is 5 reasons why the next Molyneux game is worth your money!"

Lol at this exchange from that RPS interview; RPS: During the Kickstarter for Godus you stated, regarding that you don’t want to use a publisher stating, “It’ll just be you and our unbridled dedication (no publishers).” And five months later you signed with a publisher. Peter Molyneux: Absolutely. And at that time I wish we had raised enough money to not need a publisher. RPS: But you got more than you asked– Peter Molyneux: We could have gone and we were asked to by publishers to publish the Steam version, but we turned that down. The economics of doing Godus, unfortunately Kickstarter didn’t raise enough money. Now the trouble is with Kickstarter, you don’t really fully know how much money you need and I think most people who do Kickstarter would agree with me here. You have an idea, you think you need this much, but as most people will say with Kickstarter, if you ask for too much money up front because of the rules of Kickstarter, it’s very, very hard to ask for the complete development budget. I think Double Fine have gone back and asked for more money because development is a very, very, it’s a very confusing and bewildering time, and it’s very hard to predict what will happen. Yes, I lied to everyone about signing with a publisher. That is true. But it's only because myself and my team are too incompentent to create a realistic budget. And of course, we couldn't put up a kickstarter and then NOT GET FUNDED, because then we'd have a lovely half rear end finished game and no money!

Publishing games is a financial risk in itself. Fixed budgets don't work for software work, but all Kickstarter supports is fixed budgets.

The worst part is that a lot of his games, Fable series especially, espouse this "moral choices" bullshit. Which would be neat, but it's completely arbrary. In Fable, there is no reason for you to be "evil" except for being evil for evil's sake. Most ethical choices in fable are like "free the child slaves OR murder them" and you don't have anything to gain from murdering them, you can just do it if you are arbitrarily evil. Like, most fables are about lessons and consequences, but in Fable games, the consequences of being a terrible person are limited to growing horns and looking more evil.

the last game molyneux made before godus was some horrible mobile thing where you clicked cubes forever and ever, and the person that clicked the last cube won some super special prize. there wasnt anything else to the game besides tapping cubes, the only point was that there was some amazing prize behind the horrible tediousness of the game. what was the prize you ask? being the god of gods in godus! whatever the gently caress that means because there wont even be any loving multiplayer in the game lol and also a share of the profits, of which there will be none its pretty clear the dude is just some fucker whos good at running his mouth off and taking credit for poo poo others did and now that he has ran out of people to lie to hes stuck doing transparent scams

People gave Peter Molyneux money to make a game and are pissed off that he isn't delivering? lmao That's like deliberately stepping on a rusty nail in a board and then getting pissed at the rusty-nail-in-a-board factory because you got lockjaw.

becrumbac posted:was i the only one who enjoyed The Movies I liked the movies. It was a bit clunky but you could do a lot with it when you got around the silliness. It was a bit lame that you couldn't use old filmstock after researching more modern method. The early murky hand-colored stock was rad. The expansion pack basically created endless possibilities with allowing you to place and move the camera however you wanted. Now if only it had focused more on the actual movie making and less on the boring studio simulation stuff.
