these completely chaotic nonsense notes, i will sort them but this is what it is for
now (i never sorted. these :))
Meatman thing
He's hyping up his basic-looking game soo much
The guy who made super meat boy says:
The game is very much me, and how I feel.
Kids gonna go crazy over this 2d basic blob platform jumper
'My room has lots of Nintendo and gaming posters, my room is my life and my life is super meat boy, so super meat boy is my room'
(what on earth does that even mean)
Super meat boy is entirely stolen from a flash game
These dudes found on Newgrounds
(or. they made that game also??)
A boy with no skin against a fetus in a jar, what is this disturbing game
these 2 guys are in complete control over the game, they love how they can make the character do whatever they want without any restrictions.
He says he made the game for himself
Yet believes every kid is obsessed and he’s the greatest coder ever
He says, My games aren't like other games,(mentions titles such as Halo, Cod) because other games are Sh*t, and I don't make sh*t games.
Man3 introduced
Fez won some IGF awards…
2d guy realises he’s in a 3d world, that’s the game
pretty cool
He got a grant from the Canadian government or something to fund the start of the game
Man5 with beard introduced
Another angry indie game developer, fair enough points but conversation executed horribly
Now mumbling for pity
Gets upset from a hate comment from Ashley274 saying “I hate u”
"My game is ridiculously complicated and insane"
its a cool game but its not the greatest thing ever, all these guys are really really arrogant
Man speaking another language….. no subtitles or translation
Man6 introduced much more calm normal looking guy, likes what he does, isn’t screaming glory to himself
In San Francisco
Man7 NAMED JOHNATHAN
Depressed, life is hard, understandable story, he wanted to make something cool with his life
Made a game called braid
Its about this boy, lost something working thru life, something to do with romance,
Some new guy id who he is or anything about him, he made some game about rewinding or somthing for a week and had some prototype that is “really amazing” continued ideas from prototype into final game very well. At least half of the characters are from original
Such a hard life, his own mother forced him to live in her house, and play video games all day 😢 he must be crying for help because he likes to draw monsters, what a troubled soul. My grandma told me I’m special and I’m gonna prove her right. She told me “your gonna be a success” granny spitting fax no cap
Something about a game called Eather
Man draw a heart with a face, he must have issues, tough tough life kids don’t draw unless they are emotionally disturbed
5 yr old him
The handwriting > art
His grandma passed away, he found old drawings of his she had kept.
NEW GuY
some month the 4th 1998 was the day he…got a Nintendo or sonthin?? Started gaming or something idk
He wanted to do *Blank* with his life, Ah he wanted to make games
(I have no idea what he wanted to do with his life I couldn't hear him)
"I would play video games."
He made an epileptic killing machine
and called it awesome.
Back to braid guy I think
Man discovers what a Problem is and puts it in his game. Thinks its genus hidden meaning
I swear these guys are like the English teachers of game design, finding the most abstract random things to waffle about for hours to their own praise,
*I am pretty visual* some guy from earlier how am I supposed to keep track
Actually cool art style tiles with his 3/2d game (fez)
Doing pixel art for 3 years looks a lot better than when u haven’t done it ever before
WHO WOULDA THOUGHT if u do somthing for 3 years u would get better at it!
Back to another guy *its one of the meatboy guys*
idk they are all the same guy. The only variation are their eyes but those are all filled with a deep hatred for people
He puts the same tutorial mechanics again to make sure some idiot isn’t skipping them
Man explains basic human comprehension and learning as if he created it, and his game is such an insane project that just blows all other games away
Guy Fez man
Moved into a office with his friend/co workers idk
His dad was gonna die, then he didn’t die, then parents broke up
Then girl left him
Now he’s sad stressed
Hes struggling
thats all.
New guy introduced! He does not have hair that’s how we can tell him apart
He checks emails and something, idk unimportant waffle
He makes breakfast and likes it, then takes insulin for *That* (what?)
Then goes to work and makes a list until he spills food on it, Shows grease stains on paper
hes showing how he just works a bunch and he dosnt een worryabout getting a new list of stuf to do, until its compleatly distroyed by the food stains that hes been making by working while eating.
Back to other man (no idea which one he is)
Man likens his work to being in a concentration camp, not very cool
Bald man talks about success
Has nice parents and wants money to help them
Some guy, Wins award for Gish
Then proposes on stage
he says he doesn’t feel like he’s actually connecting with his wife because he’s always on computers
Fez man about to launch the game I think
Stage fright, worry
Braid is getting traction from the internet and celebrity artist Souja Boy hyped the game up on a instagram live
The short hair guy somthig happens about braid I think he was getting mad about cirtisizm and people didn’t like him, he thought no one understood the main cool stuff about the game
Super meat boy got really good reviews
The other Braid guy talking about his dreams about to come true
Fez man (Phil fish I think) needs his ex parter to sign something so we can realist the game and have a show, (Fez guy) and he’s gonna MURDER THAT GUY F HIM (said many many times.,,)
Super meat boy disappeared from xbox store
Fez dude 4 hours till the release show at Pax but doesn’t have a signature so could be risking a lawsuit
Puts it in the show anyway, blah blah watches people trying it, its not a finished game
Game breaking bugs at the beginning, unstable, nothing working
Release day Super meat boy released 10,000 Units sold on the first day, it's a big success
“In the past day, I’ve made more from This game than I have in the last 6 years” - one of the super meat boy devs or something
FEZ: still bad bugs, people are enjoying it tho
Great feedback from people about it
Main meatboy Guy is like Yeah Tommy this is great
Tommy seems not happy “I am happy I’m just tired”
Everyones playing the games good success
Fez guy is gonna sign it so there’s no possible lawsuit
yeah, he signs it. all good
