The day the snow turned to rain?

While combing through Steam Greenlight for lovely games to profile I found this abominable piece of crap: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfil...s/?id=125349038

I started writing about it and then decided to look a little further into it, checking out the HARDCORE TECHNOLOGIES site, it seems like it's someone in Russia who will crap out a game for you based on your specifications.

Here's the description of their service:

quote:

Here,at Hardcore Technologies we do care what people play,and we want them to play the games that they desire.Since not everyone is a game developer,and most of the companies do not take sugestions from the players,we are diferent!

We give every one the chance to make their own video game,just by completing a simple form,is just that simple.Create what you want to play,with no cost,and with a lot of benefits.

I'm not linking to the site just in case it's virus-ridden, but here's what the form looks like:


I for one can't wait for them to make me a Horor Racing game.

I like how "Zombie action" and "zombies" are two separate genres.

Woah, that is strange. On the surface, it looks nothing like the blatant scam that is Hammerpoint.

Though I wonder why they don't just get hosting in the US to give them some legitimacy if they are legit. Are they that poor, or just new?

Also, i totally want a racing/zombie/third person action/FPS game. I'll also make sure to not that "This Sucks" for what I think of the idea.

e: I'm assuming the site is russian. Is it?

Impractical practicality


The site make your own game doesn't appear to have any viruses and I don't see see a scam here?

Granted it looks like crap but I'm not seeing the scam part of this.

This is perfect. Now all those dudes who have the perfect idea for a realistic zombie shooter steampunk romance sci-fi time travel Sonic the Hedgehog game will finally have the programmers and artists to make their dream a reality. I hope they give these folks lots of their money and never see anything come of it ever!

It feels like I'm staring into some alternate reality where games are made entirely by russian factory workers who have never seen the sun.

If I'm not mistaken that spider is a default Unity asset. They didn't create it, but they sure made it big!

Am I sensing an opportunity to see how ridiculous of a "game" we can get out of these people? That is, if they don't just take people's time and money and run with it, which is a likely possibility.

Edit - I was expecting a spider with disco lights when I read "BOOGIE SPIDER".

Your tone suggests you don't believe this exact factory actually exists. You sure about that?

I think the prison rape of teenagers is hilarious. I'm basically a human shaped lump of shit, please remind me of this at every opportunity.

So it's like that Brazilian company from swap.avi for video games?

That opening text sprawl was like something out of an Ed Wood film.
