As you can tell it is made with Unity3D Free. It has been on the front page of Reddit and the developer is blaming peoples computers for not being up to spec to running the game when it flat out crashes or stop responding.
It is a mix of bad coding, Stolen assets, and a stolen audio… Hell I am not sure if anything in this game is “legal” so to speak.
There is going to be a Jimquistion on this game - Where he will proceed to rip this game and Valve new one. We just need quality control for Steam.
He used to be very Pro Indie developer - He might still be. However not sure about that any more considering a few “Bad Games” are ruining steam for indie that wants to self publish.
Steam really needs quality control…
Don’t end the self-publishing, because that’s the best route for indies, but Steam should have some standards to games published on their platform.
At least review them before publishing
Which could also be precisely why it was allowed through. Surely nobody’s taking it seriously, and it’s not like $5 is a big loss as long as you have some fun along the way, even if that fun is “Look how much this sucks LOL!!!” And, honestly, from back in my LAN party days I’ve seen plenty of people who do find exactly that fun.
Interesting talk, and an interesting reflection on indie dev. If you’re making a game without a lot of manpower, your best weapon is being unusual. If you pick something too conservative, the larger shops have an advantage over you.
One nice thing is that larger shops do tend to be conservative.
