they been bullshitting so long i have trouble imagining they'd do somethin legit even if it was easier than faking it

with their ever expanding history of nonpayment i wouldn't care if the revenue split was 200%

you mean this? that is a pretty generous assessment.

im gonna make a wild and crazy guess that the official ataribox version of t4k will require installing windows on an external drive

i wasn't even gonna bother mentioning it, but even games that appear to be 2d are quads and an orthographic camera nowadays. nowadays bein like the last 15-20 years. saying some hardware can't do 3d is just nonsense words

even if this box existed and had a reasonable install base and decent storefront, i still wouldn't wanna dev for it cause i don't trust them with my money. nor should anyone after the frontier developments lawsuit

i made https://rainbowcemetery.itch.io/these-remains in a month https://rainbowcemetery.itch.io/vulpecula in a week and https://rainbowcemetery.itch.io/one-frisbee over a weekend. i consider myself to be on the low end of moderately competent. cobbling together a bullshot or a quarter second clip that looks like it could be something would require very little effort. and yet :o

seems like a bit of a self own to say it's easy for some end user scrub to make their own games to play. what's that say about this crate having nothing even confirmed in development after 2 years

i might be down to codes if you really wanna

it's probably not worth wondering about cause this is kinda phrased as speculation, but is it even possible that could be true

my bad :< this nonsense is all running together in my head

well it's even worse than that, the only thing they even kind of implied to have running on that board was a spinning cube. everything else was 'illustration purposes only'

been like 10 years since i made a pacman style game but i just did like other people said, when two directions are pressed at once prioritize a change of axis

i have the thanksgiving grumps

is this the part where someone knocks on their office door, causing the building to collapse and reveal it was just a plywood facade

in the full audio of the register interview arzt said something like, the current joystick he had with him doesn't spin but they intend for the release version of it to be able to. i'm not sure how much confirmation of their intentions is worth

most of my nostalgic feelings for the olde microcomputer in a keyboards's are clumsily poking around in basic. i'd prefer just a functional replica kb in an empty case that i can mess with over some lil thing with pretend keys. i doubt there are enough people like me for someone to bother with that. or maybe someone did and i missed it.

even ignoring all the numbers i'd be hesitant to trust their marketplace when they're currently being sued for withholding developer royalties

my anecdotal tale - i have a single game on steam and it was made with unity. the mac and linux versions both had problems that took a few hours to sort out, in both cases it was the steam integration at the root of it. i try to avoid the asset store and was rolling with basically stock unity. i could see piling a bunch of random things on there ballooning up to a major issue but i was actively trying to avoid that. the low effort asset dumps may skew the numbers upward since their main revenue came from generating keys to sell offsite to bot farms, i know i didnt sell no 100k copies. none of my acquaintances with a steam presence have pulled numbers anywhere near that either. could just be our collective crap marketing

the ouya was $100 which made it an easy novelty purchase, if this thing can sneak through at $150 i would have no complaints. the amount of extra stuff it comes with is less important than hitting that price, at least to me, some internet rando

? ???

i'm all about the underdog, but if they're asking for money up front with no obligation to deliver anything and no recourse if they decide to dip i'm gonna need a bit more to go on than a couple empty boxes and an atari logo.

is it normal for a subcontractor to foist an nda on their employer

me too :<

if he was always there why was it kept a secret until now? surely the campaign launch should have been the moment to reveal their hand? arzt uncomfortably dodged that question for an agonizingly long time in the register interview also which did a lot to set its negative tone. none of this makes sense to me
