Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak
tl;dr, Rob just randomly walks around toronto talking to crazy people and picking up garbage, he's given up on getting a real job because no one hired him, is in a war with Eaton center security mall cops over tranny rights, and wants to become an irl streamer (edited)
I attempt to disbelieve the majority of what he's saying.

ok this would actually be so great

just kinda yeah, tossing coins to random people, talking to squirrels and that, starting conversation and well content
sudo TPK rawb
At first it was being done almost purely in Flash, as the sidescrolling jumping thing, then there was the beat-em-up version where you could move sideways and vertically, then there was talk of scrapping all the code from Flash to make it in Unity
sudo TPK rawb
But I have a feeling that of what was done on it - and this is just conjecture on my part - was just a massive amount of proofs of concept and tech demos, rather than an actually playable game.

I'll be honest I know very little about game development and I'd be lying if I said I followed the game closely, but it just seems like such a huge waste
sudo TPK rawb
He raised $118k I think, was supposed to complete the game in two years, but he not only had absolutely no idea how to actually get it done, he also had absolutely no roadmap
sudo TPK rawb
Going off of the "My kickstarter has failed" video, if he had given up when Krysta left him and left him without someone doing like 40%+ of the work, I wouldn't be surprised if he had just released what assets he had for people to do what they want with it

I played a mod for an old hockey game from 2004 that had updated rosters and the announcers would almost perfectly say the names of players that would have been like 6 years old when that game came out
sudo TPK rawb
People have done shit with DvZ way in the past(I don't know if any of it can be salvaged if even found, but I remember people modding DvZ back inthe day), people have made their own shit for URealms Live, so I don't see why not
sudo TPK rawb
Not to mention, the community c. 2012 was mostly people that were into the Unforgotten Realms cartoon, that were interested in the comedic D&D story setup that was supposed to be incorporated into the game
sudo TPK rawb
I did the OG Unforgotten Quest years before this was even announced. ... But with the name Unforgotten Realms, as a turn based RPG, in RPG Maker. ... And the computer I was making it on died before I could finish it & post it to the forums. :\
sudo TPK rawb
I did a LOT of dialogue with homebrew NPCs and side quests for it because while Ruby is an extremely easy coding language, I had ZERO idea how to effectively balance the power curve.
sudo TPK rawb
So I made so many friggin sidequests not just to put in something entertaining, but to give an excuse for why you would have to go up 10 levels to be able to defeat the ogre from episode 6.
sudo TPK rawb
If I were to try to run it as a tabletop RPG, it'd be really easy because I can adjust everything on the fly, but in a video game, where the numbers are pre-determined, I had ZERO clue how to make it flow well without requiring the player to grind like crazy or do a bunch of comedic side quests, with mixed results in the humor.
sudo TPK rawb
Then again, you can run AD&D 1e or 2e tabletop and have a paladin solo the Nine Hells, slay Asmodeus and marry his daughter by 5th level.
sudo TPK rawb
Another issue was that I started making it before S1 of the Escapist version was even finished, so while the goal was still to get the herb to cure Schmoopy's dying grandmother, I had absolutely no idea how to get to that point.
sudo TPK rawb
The "main story" part I got up to was encountering Roamin & Gaary, which I was going to have be a full-fledged fight, then upon winning and entering the Mountains of Norrington, basically mix the Escapist version and the Newgrounds version and figure something out from there.
