you can find out more about the storyline from the first few pics.
stuff about vile four tentacles creatures, the indian servant Vazu Atluri, and the Soviet Straight Walking Rat.

the trailer has headbanging music and an excellent puking sequence(spoiled below) and therefore comes with my highest recommendations !

this game looks like "Zombieville" a game from 1998 crated by Psygnosis

yeah, it's bad Smile
but the guy did it by himself during five years, or smth, with his own money (or rather his dead aunt's money, iirc).
also he claims to have a "deep understanding of striptease" (having practiced it..)
here's a pic of him:
 Spoiler:
 


he's been talking a lot of crap here (bragging about "Letter of appreciation of my art from the Ministry of Culture of Russia", for example)

he seems crazy, tbh. at first i thought the game was like that on purpose, but after reading his posts, it got hard to tell.

man, he does seem fuckin crazy/weird....like he's done to much acid or something. Thats the first thing I thought of when I watched the vid of the game - he did it on shrooms or cid. No joke. On cid or shrooms it might trip you out and be some "fun" but even still.

And he thinks hes gunna become a professional game dev or something? maybe a guy implementing pre-written code or something, but I dont think any game company would let him develop a game from scratch...i sure as hell wouldnt.

And wtf is his obsession with Visa's? Like you can go to a country to compete in something and dont need a visa....as long as you have a passport your fine. Ive competed (in MA) all over the US and i never once had to get a visa.
Every year my cousins from france come here for like a month or 2 vacation...all they carry are passports...

EDIT

read some more of the thread in the link you posted...guys a fuckin creepo and a half...Neutral

EDIT 2

OK....he knows about Fine Arts? this guy is a fuckin loon and a half....and he did "waitressing"...wtf? women are waitresses and guys are waiters (however you spell it)...and he has pics of him being in a thong...fuckin weirdo/nutjob!
Great thread for a laugh tho. Some ppl really cut him up and it goes over his head.
Like the guy who told him to make silent films Laughing
But its true, if your marketing a game to english clients, then you better have close to if not perfect english (even if its 'perfect' slang english)...or have someone do the translation.
The guy thinks WAY to highly of himself, seriously. Like its healthy to think well of yourself, I do, but I also know my limits and what I am and am not capable of.
Its like me taking up coding for 2 months, creating a calculator app in VB and bragging on here that Im a visionary and know 'fine coding'...considering all the ppl here who actually do code (whatever language, doesnt matter).
Man should be put back in the padded room he escaped from...or even better, Vodka should go kick his fuckin ass! Come on Vodka, do the gaming/dev/"fine arts" community a favour, pay off some russian cop to look the other way while you throw this creepo a really good, painful beating Very Happy I would totally start a "FREE VODKA" site if you got booked Very Happy

france is in the EU. the visa situation is prolly different for russians.
but anyway, tripping on something might give you some.. interesting ideas, but you gotta be sober to implement them, and when you're sober, you usually get it when something wouldn't make sense for others.
also he doesn't seem to be one of those pretentious artsy people, that are trying to make a weird game because "they like to express themselves in non-standard ways" or some shit.
wouldn't call him insane right away, though, since working for five years on a game by himself shows that he's got at least some of his brain in functioning order.

and he already is a professional game dev, since he finished his huge project and he's the one marketing it and everything. a one man army, it seems. i could never get through such a huge undertaking, so i respect the guy. i think he's probably nuts, but still Smile

edit: fine arts college seems to bring out the best in people, doesn't it ? Very Happy

(btw, my ex went through there. i couldn't stand most of her friends. they stroked me as pretentious retards, that didn't have a clue what they were talking about, but they still liked to blabber, because it made them feel good about themselves, and they tried to come off as different, no matter how annoying they'd seem to anyone. not trying to generalize or stereotype or whatever. just saying that some people see themselves in a totally distorted way.)

I have respect for what he TRIED to do...but the end result is horrendus. You have to admit that.
I betcha if a few ppl from this site got together and decided to make a game, it would be 10x better than this guy's 5 year atrocity...

He's not a professional game dev man...amateur at best. A professional actually has to succeed in what he/she does...and get paid for what he/she does (whether its by working for someone else or making a profit in some form or another).

edit

lol fine arts my ass...lol christ.
Like i said, delusions of grandeur (sp?)

edit

I have to agree with that. Ppl ive met who are art majors or some kinda shit like that tend live in the clouds ya know? And act like they are above everyone when they in fact know very little (obviously, that doesnt apply to everyone in that...field...but ppl ive met).Its funny on the show Fraiser, not funny irl.

yeah, maybe he had a good(?) concept, but he executed it in a pretty crappy way.
but that's what happens when you don't get outside advice about what you do, i guess. you get blinded by ideas that only shine in your head Smile

exactly, he should have had some of his "fine arts" friends look over his shit. Or even got some regular gamers to give him advice....he prolly sat around stroking his ego after finishing each portion of the game and like i said, he has serious delusion of grandeur man.

And fuck, a goddamn hot ash fell off my smoke, fell through the opening in my pajama pants and almost burnt my left ball...Neutral thats not cool....

one of the advantages of having a cat is that it sleeps on you while you're smoking in front of the pc so the hot ash falls on it, not on your balls.

this is one of the reasons i tolerate her scratching the shit out of me all the time. she keeps my balls safe Wink

heh, yeah, a lot of people have this sort of respect, in the sense that they don't wanna come off as ignorant, so they pretend to like any piece of crap that others come up with Rolling Eyes
