holy shit so much went wrong with that game. the community manager, the marketing.
it was the shitty graphics & the sonic twitter savagely mocking them that put the nail in the coffin.
it was supposed to have a 3ds version coming out lol still MIA.

Anything Epic store related honestly

Wait, does this mean the Super Monkey Ball game is... cancelled? It's just over now, 'cause of that?

the fan project monkey ball rippoff game is probably technically still coming as of right now

but given how insane the one making it has proven to be, it will likely never actually release.

WHY
THEY'RE JUST LITTLE MICE IN BALLS

BALLS ARE A METAPHOR FOR HOW THE BALLS UPON THE PATRIARCHY OPPRESS THE NON BINARY TO RUN THROUGH OBSTACLES IN A FAR MORE DIFFICULT MANNER THAN IF THEY JUST LET THEM WALK.

I see, I see. Tell me more.

where have my rolly boys been all this time?

yeah I don't understand how the fuck these peoples minds work.
people gave you money to make a super monkey ball clone. what about that suggests to you that you should start injecting fringe concepts that only really exist in the eyes of neo-marxists & attention starved teenagers bloggers.
It's like a comedy sketch. btw didn't the dev post here?

All characters in the game are trans or nonbinary because the game is being developed by trannies despite them all being literal animals. An artist said it was fucking weird and was fired for misgendering their rat oc and daring to ask them to change the design to reflect the gender they were so adamant on pushing.

They fired someone for misgendering a rat, do you really think they're sane enough to make it through the full 2+ years dev cycle with a finished game?

That could just be a tactic to renew their IP but hopefully something comes out of it.

I doubt there will be a Monkey Ball game with the same kind of style and challenge as the pre-Adventure games again. It’s more likely now that SEGA has actually listened to fans with Sonic Mania and Streets of Rage 4, but I’m not putting my bets on it.

"Cry like an anime fan on prom night" was a fantastic simile, and the people who bitched about it are little girls.

too bad that was the audience they made fun of then

If the trademark is anything to go by, this whole project could get overshadowed by an official new game

>Game made fun of me.

Acted like an asshole but got mad when people acted like assholes back so he took his ball and went home and said it was everybody else's fault except his that he doesn't make video games anymore. Good riddance.

I'm still bummed over that because ignoring who made it, FEZ was pretty fun and charming.

Wasn't that the guy who bragged about how superior the 360 was to PC when he released a game, then refused to patch a game-breaking bug when he found out he had to pay MS to distribute the patch?

Yes. Also turned out he was lying about paying MS to distribute the patch as that policy had changed where XBLA titles got free patches and a number of industry investors straight up challenged him on twitter that he was being lazy and blaming MS for something that was his fault.

Perhaps gems in SFXT

Fish is the shitposting gift that keeps on giving.

At least there are other decent-looking Monkey Ball clones out there

fpbp

everything around mighty no 9 was a mistake

I remember in a dev thread someone telling the low poly monkey ball clone guy to ask to work for rolled out team.
he was like "no thanks"
I bet he's laughing now. maybe he knew.

>the low poly monkey ball clone guy
The what?

you can afford to be cheeky if your game is at least 6/10

I think it's more like, why work on someone else's game when you can make your own?

Sakurai adding tripping to Brawl.

Sure, he sabotaged his own game, but he knew what he was doing. Brawl went on to be a huge success and it enabled Sakurai to improve on Brawl with 4 and Ultimate to please everyone but the staunchest Meleefags

>What, you guys don't have phones or what?

Retards putting politics and personal agendas in their games and forcing it down everyone's throats instead of just leaving a game be a game.

It's a fucking cartoon rat, it can be male, female, anything, who fucking cares? IT'S A RAT IN A TRANSPARENT BALL ROLLING TOWARDS A GOAL.

Fucking SJWs, I swear.

The only thing I know about this game is seeing a few posts in the catalog. Is it really mobile-exclusive?

FEZ's accomplishments really wasn't his exclusively. He had a whole team behind him
Fez 2 probably would have sucked because most of those people left

Wasn't Fez just him and some other guy?

Deliberate sabotage honestly just makes it worse. Tripping exists purely to degrade the experience for the most dedicated fans.

Word to that. Tower Unite and Marble It Up come to mind.

Yes, not only is it mobile exclusive but it's also made by a scummy company that not even the Chinese like and it's already confirmed to be a reskin of a number of their other shitty Diablo/MMO clones

It pissed off singleplayerfags too. Brawl and Melee had plenty of content for when you didn't want to just do normal battles all day. Smash 4 was bad, and Ultimate is even worse. They're like the UT/Q3A of Smash games.

And like several different artists he knew

Yea Forums is getting mad at trannies making their own games even though they kept pushing the "just make your own game bitchboys lmao" argument for years

I'm trying to make an indie game and at this point I'm so sick of every artistic type with mental health issues that they blame on everything. I think a lot of these people were just never socialised properly and haven't learnt to function like adults. not talking about inability to take responsibility and follow intructions, but you can't have genuine discussions with these people about anything without it being a personal affront to them in some way or another. I refuse to work with them, and they all still behave like teenagers who have to prove themselves to everyone so unfortunately in any artistic pursuit you have to deal with a lot of these types.

They can make whatever game they like but that doesn't make it invulnerable to commenting or criticism, specially if nothing is actually gained from it.

>making their own games
>when they're hijacking nostalgia from a previous game to do so
Tell us the rat's pronouns again

Yea it's like Ford acknowledging and joking how dudes with big trucks are compensating for small dicks then running a TV commercial to sell big trucks.

If there's any consolation, there's usually more good ones than bad ones. It might just seem like they are the majority due to how vocal they are about it and due to how personal they take it.

Fruit Salad!
Yummy! Yummy!

Reminder that the creator runs an autistic Undertale tumblr blog lmao

He did say banned and not fired, meaning it's still better off than the industry standard of firing someone for not doing optional overtime.

>Felt sympathy for her
>Check her Twitter for more info
>She's a bitter PR disaster that makes snide remarks about companies she's currently working for, then wonders why they fire her, then tries to drag other people under the bus with her
Honestly, I imagine there were other reasons to fire her, this was just the best excuse.

Attached: IMG_20190516_123447.png (416x672, 347K)

I doubt there's a difference here. I can only guess she used the word banned because she wasn't actually getting paid. I'm just assuming the project has no funding, I don't know.

I find it really hard to find artists who are just chill like me.
Closest are some of the ones on newgrounds but they're pretty much all Americans.

Nope that's fine. I want sega to use those fucking models too.
showing fan feedback of your work to a client is a really good way to convince them to utilise it.

God I love blizzards obsession with outsourcing, because it backfires on them almost every time. The one time it didn't was with china and they've been sucking the nations dick ever since.

Like they didn't want to pay their coding team even half their pay, so they tried outsourcing to india. Poos didn't even know how to handle actually writing code.

>got fired for showing off models she clearly spent a lot of time on that went unused with a little "guess they didn't like them haha"
>meanwhile the fag who runs sonic twitter shits on their games all the time and asks people like Arin Hanson who hates Sonic openly to promote the games

>autistic Undertale tumblr blog
At least one of those words is completely redundant

Yeah, blog. Tumblr is a blog but you can't add blog as a descriptive because tumblr means blog.

That's a lot of bad opinions to have in one post.

Doesn't work if the game itself is fucking garbage.

They grasped at anything they could, tried to call her a pedo because she modelled a character much older than they appear in their game.
(apparently fictional characters can't age but they can be non-binary xim/xer/xams or whatever the fuck) & then after people shit on them and called unprofessional and fragile. They insisted they'd still pay her for her work.

She doesn't speak english as her first language, she may have just messed up the wording. The game has $100,000+ of Kickstarter funding already alongside a patreon I think.

They're great models, and I would love to purchase figures of all of them. But if you make those sort of remarks in a public forum about your employer (one that owns a beloved IP) that are overtly judgemental, and then you even ask people to back you up, of course you're gonna get shitcanned. If she'd have phrased it along the lines of,
>"Some models I made for Sega a couple of years back that went unused. Let me know if you like them!"
none of this would have happened.

Appealing to the zeitgeist to further a product's reach via social media, and using social media to complain that your hard work was not used (and beg the public to take action) are two very different things.

I didn't like anime and when my high school farewell was on I was out getting stoned with some friends.
I just thought the trailer looked really bad & tryhard (who the fuck cares about different dashes)

>showing fan feedback of your work to a client is a really good way to convince them to utilize it.
It can be but the phrasing has to be done carefully. Maybe since she's apparently not native english she might/could've gotten around the issue by just saying it was a grammatical mistake. But the way she said it made it look like she was throwing Sega under the bus, as if it was
>Look at these obviously well done models. Isn't Sega stupid for not using them?

>fuck games having content lmao

there's literally nothing wrong with pic related. She made stuff for Sega, they never used it, it's not under NDA, so she just shared it so people can see it.

>neo-marxists
shouldn't you be cleaning your room like a good lobster?

The problem is just in the way she said it.
>I guess they did think that people would not enjoy it
I doubt that whatever reasoning they had for dismissing this work wasn't because of lack of quality. But even if it was, it's never a good idea to even imply that your employer is stupid in their decisions, even if it's true.

The Japanese branch already gave her their blessing to share stuff though. It's the American branch that was an issue.

JP is a retarded circular talking obscurantist who gets stumped by simple questions.
doesn't change that they're the only group that treats this retardation as legitimate. but nice irrelevant comment tranny.

The only based thing about mighty no 9

She's within her rights to share the images of course, but she's doing so in a very unprofessional manner. Normally, you'd say something like
>These are some unused assets I made for Sega, I hope you enjoy them!
NOT
>These are some unused assets I made for Sega, who I guess hated my stuff. Please praise me to make me feel better!

No matter how good you are, nobody wants to work with a dick. I'm sure the hamsterball people are twats, but I'm with the other user in thinking that she may have done more to get on their team's nerves than just misgendering a hamster.

ahahahahaha wtf

Fair point. It just seems so stupid considering the entire Sonic twitter is self-depreciation humor in of itself, and they got Egoraptor (who hates Sonic) to collab with them.

At best it's a remaster of the first game, at worst it's a phone game

Honestly the the thing that bothers me the most about this isn't the gender stuff, or even the fact that they fired her for it, it's that the dev fucking admitted to looking into her post history to find an excuse to fire her that bothers me, as well as the fact that when he couldn't find anything he, he made shit up about making porn of underaged characters

I don't get it either but I can only guess that he'd fall in line with the same self-deprecating humor.

Fans will never admit it but the DS game was good, 3D was adequate, and Vita was ball bustingly awesome, Only the wii games really sucked

None have been as good as 1 and 2 ofc, but I have faith in this new trademark being worth a damn

She could easily excuse herself but it is out of line. It implies that Sega doesn't understand quality or that Sega doesn't know what the fans want. Whether it's true or not, it's not the kind of thing you say about your employer. It makes you come across to future employers, as someone that will throw the company under the bus to make themselves look good. No one wants to hire people like that.

>Got Tower Unite out of a bundle
>Was told it was some SL-Lite multiplayer mandated ghost town horseshit

How so? I actually just got an OG Xbox recently just so I can finally play it in it's full glory with no hiccups

I feel scammed for buying that game
All the trailers and articles made it out to be a completely different game

It’s awesome. Takes some getting used to with the small vita stick, but it’s very close behind 1 and 2 in terms of physics and level design. And it is HARD. Like, really hard. Harder than 1 and 2 imo. Getting that platinum trophy was a genuine moment of triumph for me.

This. I don’t give a fuck about characters sexual orientation or gender fluidity, they can be whatever the devs want, but it shouldn’t be such a hot issue among the team, especially since they’re cartoon rats in a game with no story

>managed to get removed from evo showcase
We don't actually know if that is the case. Likely didn't help Mr Wiz's decision making but they weren't confirmed before

What stunk about DoA6's marketing was the clear double standards. They'd say one thing in Japan and then another in the west. At one point big tits were inhuman, the next at DoAfest they were selling new titty mouse pads. This was all while they were supporting Venus Vacation which is just lewd gacha. It was entirely a front they thought would impress the west.

The funny thing is the actual game shouldn’t have been bad, it was just coded so poorly that it was unplayable

This one. They later complained after "republicans review bombed the game" asking for people to support it.
Funny thing. I was interested in VAL-HALLA and was waiting for the Limited Run physical version. When they finally announced it, there was a special edition that came bundled with that game. I didn't know anything about it, and might've just gotten it, but that tweet made the decision so easy for me and I just got the single pack. Thanks for saving me money!

I got it free on PS+ a couple months back. Its an okay point and click, I liked the visuals and music quite a bit.
It does seem like they ran out of time to finish it though, the ending was sort of rushed and drops it without explaining everything.
Also, if you aren't friendly enough to the robot who follows you around, you get the bad ending. I was, so I was fine. But apparently being sarcastic with him counted as being mean, so some people got fucked by that.

3D was utter trash. I was about halfway through the game when I quit because of the complete lack of challenge. I doubt I died half a dozen times total.

What are you the word police, even if it was offensive, (it wasn't), doesn't take away the goal of showing something that Sega was too dumb to accept.

It's really the reader who can interpret this as offensive based on how they read it. You're probably more fragile than you realize.

It really is just his bad reputation and his abrasive personality.
He is not very good at convincing new groups to like him. He also tends to run his mouth off more than most politicians and that leads to him saying things that don't help his image.

>There are still people on this board who will genuinely trust and believe PR even after all these examples.

I really hope they are never heard in real life.

The devs were memeing about selling 9 copies because they got lambasted for going with Epic.
They still sold like shit but they didn't literally only sell 9 copies.

imagine being in the fucking military with them

It was supposed to be a "joke" but I don't understand the reasoning behind it myself, probably a really bad attempt at a snarky remark on how great they are actually doing

PR people in video games, like everyone else working in video games, are failures. They couldn't get into "real" industries so they had to settle for video games. Them being retards who can't manage public relations properly honestly isn't surprising in the least to me.

They reduced them AND removed jiggle physics not just for burgers, but for gooks too. As for the point, it was bending the knee, as an oath of fealty, to the whiny busybodies who don't even play video games.

just because you're making your own game doesn't mean you're above criticism.
these people are making a spiritual successor to a dead franchise that a lot of people loved. of course they're going to be disappointed when it comes out that the development process is a drama-filled shitshow behind the scenes and the game might never be released.
