Mentally ill guy lives in his car, working solo on a gameboy game for the last decade that nobody wants to play. His kickstarter dream is to someday upgrade from living in his car to living inside a Van. A story more touching than even doobie and his dogs.

It is extremely sustainable, and turns out to be a pretty common practice in Silicon Valley! This way I can continue working on and releasing updates for my game for the foreseeable future, without having to worry about bills or a place to live.

"I had the unfortunate compulsion to shove things up my bum at times and I tried to get boned by a couple of guys before. I was always terrified and stopped right away, and when I did succeed it hurt and I hated it, but I did it again anyway. Maybe my Mom made me do it with that t-shirt, or maybe it was self-inflicted revenge for having anal sex with two of my girlfriends. It must have hurt and it makes me wish I was dead."

If this game is anything other than misappropriated sprite art with a schizophrenic story line (or even ever gets made) I'll personally never buy a copy or speak about it with anyone ever.

Why is this guy not in a mental hospital? The last time I heard anything about him was when he went off the deep end when Nintendo refused to approve his really bad game.

Didnt he release a demo for DS several years ago? it was a really weird buggy piece of crap with bad jokes and kind of a creepy desperate vibe to it

Also there's already been many good games done by one person before, like Cave Story which was awesome

I fell in love with a Video Nasty
Holy poo poo, I had forgotten about this guy. I remember losing interest in him after he faked his suicide in protest of Nintendo not selling him a licensing package, for what his preview videos showed to be nothing more than what looked like a romhack of a snes era Square game. I had no idea he had released a demo of his game...

Bob posted:

It is a game within a game about the development of itself in realtime, paralleled with a real life tournament to coincide with the virtual. "bob's game" blends the line between reality and simulation, and reality and extra-dimensional reality. "bob's game" breaks both the so-called "4th wall" and further yet- the "5th wall," unlocking the secrets of "the Matrix," or "the Womb" as it is referred to in some editions of the Bible.

Wait, what?

quote:

"bob's game" actually alters reality itself for those who play it. It is a key into another dimension. It teaches the secrets of the heart, the secrets of mind control and psychic power to a generation that has has the wool pulled over their eyes by criminal syndicates.

:stare:

quote:

In total despair, I stumbled around in a confused haze for a couple of months, and then got stronger. I've spent the last 9 months sleeping in my car and running at the gym, building myself back up. I've had to humble myself and learn to accept life as it is, to live with almost nothing, to appreciate what I have, and to truly value existence itself and see the world around me as it actually is- an illusion. I slowly learned how we are tricked by desire and greed and kept weak and blinded by criminal syndicates. I realized that is what I had been fighting against the whole time, subconsciously! Even more incredible, I learned what humans are truly capable of- discovering that we are indeed magical creatures with psychic powers! It's the greatest trick in history- we are all great wizards, reduced to spending our lives so distracted, we never even realize our own power!

:suspense:


I...I'm almost tempted to contribute to this. Not because I think it will succeed, but because I have a need to see where this lunatic is going with this now.
