If you are a REAL C64 fan you WILL HAVE to participate in his poll!

Oh btw, the comments at the kickstarter campaign are always fun to read:

Yeah, not going to waste my time reading his twitter comments. I'll just ignore this until there is a game, if ever.

 

[udm]

The most puzzling thing about this drama is the number of people who are responding to him unironically on Twitter.

Spoiler

Where the f... How... But why...

And then you have the fact that over 80 people voted in the most recent poll.

 

[Eli_Havelock]

Vaporware dev goes vaporwave by channeling 2012 energy for an alternate 80s.

 

[Narushima]

Is he risking it because he already knows 100 people won't vote?
(I voted)

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Who the hell did he work for? With his work ethics currently, it is no wonder his ass got canned.

as to lemon... i got distracted by gifs.

I wish my boss would just front me over $100,000 and my response could be "it'll be done when it's done, fuck off" and then verbally attack him for the next 10 years. What a life.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

So those asking get slapped down.

"Hey is that an update? Can we see?"

... and banned.

If people would've only listened to this prophet from 2016:

Clearly, the only reason why this game hasn't come out is that its so amazing that the authors spend more time playing it than coding it. And the authors are actually trying to make it worse, because if the game was released in the form its currently in, you would not be able to tear humanity away it, and we would all die in a week. Why do you think its been banned from every forum, every retro gaming event, every computer store and every school. They're like the makers of the atom bomb, trying to find an application for their product that can benefit humanity!

Bruce attempts to further refine his social media engagement down to just him replying to himself:

Wow. I could certainly believe he may have worked at Bioware... the classic "Illusion of choice but not really" is there.

If only!

"Hey look we're doing the cool indie dev couple thing! Totally Ken and Roberta Williams!"
"We are making a fore reals troo aufentic C64 game!"
"Look at us being profound! LOOK AT US!"
"Don't mind the haters, they're just like us all!"
"Unknown Realm is so influential and great! We are owed recognition!"
"Magazines that ignored us are now wanting to talk to us! Vote for how we should respond!"
"VOTE OR MAYBE NO C64 PORT!"
"OMG thank you for attention, we're back to playing indie dev couple!"
"Check out this months-old update from another game! So cool!"
"We like free speech when we are the ones free to practice it."
"We am so persecuted and banned! Nobody is allowed to talk about our greatness!"
"We am now editors at Vox! Misogyny!"

What a ride.

Wait... c64 rags wanted to interview them and they declined? Are there still c64 rags around or are we talking blogs and vlogs and podcasts?

There are even hard cover magazines coming out :D Here in germany at least

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

But these two "unknowns" declined them? Couple of tards but more likely points to fraud and liars.

Just checked - both mags that I read wrote about the game.

 

[Eli_Havelock]

I just realized something about this - it was only seen when working as a duo and never at any big studios

Bruce, when are you going to stop beating your wife?

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

When she starts beating his meat.

 

[Alienman]

Soon the excuse will be something about them being 2% black and that's the reason they are getting hate, because racist gamers.

 

[Eli_Havelock]

Remember the change from boasting influential to sulking persecuted? It didn't take Bruce long to go from turning his wife into a special case to deflect from responsibility to claiming it as an industry norm.

You know what else most investors/publishers view as negatives? Inability to provide a simple milestone update. This is probably why they had to go independent and beg and still can't show even the same level of updates they'll re-tweet from other developers.

 

[Contagium]

So, are these the new reasons he has not finished his game, or are these the same old ones? Asking for a friend.

Tune in next week when he finds new reasons why not to deliver any updates

 

[Viata]

He is probably waiting for new codex posts for inspirations.
