Gaming Bob's New Stand

[JDandy]

I think it's genius, and I wouldn't say that he's some kind of ego maniac, I believe he's very intelligent..He IS attention whoring, but not because he likes his image, but because he wants for to interest people into the game! Any game NEEDS attention, that's why he's getting it before game is even released!
Also, showing more of the game (then it's needed) would kill the secrecy around the game..

Pretty much this. He flat out said this was all a marketing stunt. And it's a pretty unique way of doing things; I'd like other developers to try having such active marketing campaigns.

On the other hand, I'm bored with Bob's act, and his game doesn't look like something I'd want to play; his game looks more like Seinfeld DS, without the comedy. Or like Pokemon Ranger, except all you do is walk.

I hear a lot of people keep mentioning Pixel so I thought I would post one of Bob's Youtube comments regarding Pixel.

Yes, as I've said countless times, I played Doukutsu before it was even translated. You're about the 500th person to say this same thing, and you sound stupid.

Pixel tried to get Doukutsu published just as frantically as I did, and he eventually deleted his page and gave up. I don't intend to give up like he did.

As far as the port, Nintendo didn't ask him anything. An existing licensed third party developer bought the property and is remaking it. Pixel is barely involved and will make little.My game is at least three times the size of Doukutsu, and platformers are much easier to make than RPG.

Look in the credits, even modern day 2D RPG like Children of Mana took over 100 people to make, and Square has millions in funding and existing code/graphics.

Platformers take teams of 5-10 people at the most.
I worked full time on my game 10+ hours a day, he worked part time on his.

You are making huge, uninformed assumptions. Where did you hear this BS? Why are you spreading these lies?
oh and this seems important:
The bottom screen is a huge part of the game, that's where all the action is.

I'm revealing that in 8 days (Day 90).
..That's all for now.

What you said was so true. His game looks so bad and boring.

Meh, anoyone who wants this much attention doesn't deserves it.

 

[Link5084]

Is this game going to get released at homebrew? I WANT IT!

 

[Icey]

Then wait 13 days. And we will find out. Only 3 to find out what's on the bottom screen though. My bet is a map of the town...

 

[ball2012003]

the bottom screen probably porn

 

[moogle87]

The youtube video of his sprite talking to the guy behind the desk just screams truth.

 

[ball2012003]

"one day we will all stop saying day and this will just be wednes, REGGIE!"
one more day!!!!

Well, day 90 is here, the video will be up a bit later.

Will it have been worth the wait, or are we all going to be pissed off at how standard the touchscreen functions are?

 

[Nathan-NL]

Where is that video?

 

[ball2012003]

it will be up tonight
at least that's what it says

 

[Nathan-NL]

It is already nine o'clock where he lives..

 

[hksmrchan]

Where's his video?

 

[maxmouse2008]

what video, sorry I'm a nub, I'm confused

 

[Icey]

No video tonight. Try again tommarow. Not from his site. From me.

 

[RupeeClock]

what video, sorry I'm a nub, I'm confused

Bob has promised a video showing what the touchscreen does on day 90.
Although it's late.

Also, I can't believe this eluded me.

 

[Pizzaroo]

Video up now

 

[tinymonkeyt]

kinda dramatic though
turns out this whole charade HAD been part of his game.

the whole thing totally makes sense now.
dang. this robert dude is really something.
