I have an interest in indie developed games and have been loosely following the saga of 'bob's game' production.
After watching one of his newest videos, I'm really impressed on the amount of hype he alone has been able to generate for his game.
I hate to say it, but i did fall into his viral marketing campaign; as i also, like many others, did believe his character he created for himself to portray.
To me it looks like he built this game based on how all these events would unfold. (setup to fail on purpose)
I'm thinking this game is going to be a giant comment on the gaming industry and hopefully a huge leap in indie development.
The concept is making more sense, he acts like a total dick (which he wants us to assume), to;
1 - generate hype
2 - build a character
As he mentions, 'Bob' is the final boss of the game. This Bob character already has alot of haters, who would want more to defeat this character more, than the people assuming he is a dick?
whats everyone's thoughts?
I assume from watching the video that his game is based on 'Yuu' (the typical game developer) trying make a game for development and finally sell on a popular system.
Me-thinks the main character maybe might decide to find 'new' methods of getting his game out there?
Interesting concept, definitely something that in my opinion hasn't been done yet and might even make an impact on the gaming industry, even if it only breaches the indie scene.
also the fact that people like myself are created topics means his viral campaign is working, and when sites like IGN and joystiq start documenting him, you gotta think this guy knows what he is doing.
