I know porn games made in Twine and released for free that add more content bi-weekly than this talentless faggot.

"views" vs "viewers." IIRC Xitter views are cumulative on livestreams.
The Twitter view bots must be cheaper than Twitch ones. When he started view botting on Twitch and nobody knew anything about him, he started getting visibility and real viewers showing up. Now that he's alienated everyone, he gets a few hundred real people on Twitch but nobody shows up anymore. Guess he's hoping if he bots Twitter the algorithm will push people who don't know him over there, which is a surprising bet by him because he spent months blocking anyone who mentioned him and what shows up in searches is extremely negative.

I didn't realize how lazy his actual game design was where a path won't exist until Mald wants you to go down it then after a trigger somewhere the terrain is changed next time you visit so you can go down the new path and this isn't the exception, it's the rule. Every choice is also an inconsequential A/B choice and the dog interrupts with a pure black or white screen to check up on your actual mental health as if the game isn't a shitty furry wannabe Undertale clone trying way too hard to be deep. You can completely fail a minigame with no consequence except missed dialogue and the game will carry on.
I appreciate him pointing out how the minigames are both simple and poorly coded, with multiple boring runners. Then he used that to plug an actual promo for Gamemaker, he's doing more to get people to make things than Mald is.
Mald hyped himself and his game up so much, I don't know what he ever expected but I'm grateful.

I don't know if they're still in place but twitter at least used to have some sleezy metrics in place to inflate view counts of videos, livestreams, and spaces. Iirc if it shows up on your feed and you let it autoplay for a couple of seconds then you count as a viewer for the next hour, and if you watch for long enough you can be counted as a viewer multiple times
He could fix about half his reputational problems in a year if he just committed the time and released a decent video game

When he highlights the quality of games that are made with the exact same shit Mald is using, in less than a quarter of a time, it really hammers in just what a complete fucking mess and failure this shit is. Hotline Miami and Spelunky are pretty close to 10/10 arcade games (both came out and had sequels in less time then he's worked on his game lul). And then there's this, some doggo asking if you need the number to the helpline because there was a scary scene where a cartoon dad...didn't want to do the dishes or something, in between random buildings and paths just disappearing when it's time to go left.I appreciate him pointing out how the minigames are both simple and poorly coded, with multiple boring runners. Then he used that to plug an actual promo for Gamemaker, he's doing more to get people to make things than Mald is.
Even better is all the quotes of Mald calling out all these near perfect games he's trying to ape from "the emotions from Secret of Mana" lul, Earthbound, Warioware, and then you see....this.

A half-finished mess with endless empty promises is infinitely more lucrative than a finished product.
He should add microtransactions before he loses more of his dwindling audience. Just set up a store and charge $1000 to add your fagsona as a background character, $2000 for your jpg to appear in the super special post-credits gallery room coming soon™. Chris Roberts scammed autistic space obsessed boomers out of a billion, surely Mald can squeeze out an extra million or two out of furries. Keep it going until you can't, tell people you're done streaming and now devoting all your time to completing the game while you bot your way to fame as a vtuber this time.

I don't know if it was mentioned earlier in the thread, but it looks like he's no longer using the "programming" or "game development" tags on his twitch streams. He used to have them on every single stream - I know because it bugged the fuck out of me when I noticed them.

I watched the whole thing in the background, so I've probably missed some things, but these excerpts from Mald's write-up on Shartbound's "design" almost read like it would be a postmortem of a genre-defining successful game, not a cookie-cutter Undertale clone, that's not even finished. I don't know when it was written, but it seems like Mald really dreamt big at some point.
And the other thing is this:
Why? I get that without padding this "game" would be even shorter, but come on, there are better ways to waste player's time than this. Like adding some actual gameplay, maybe.
Anyway, here's some (sort of related) clips from the last stream:
@00:00: "NoOoOo, no, it doesn't [look like Shartbound]". Sounds like Mald is feeling a bit insecure. Whatever this game is, it does look better than Shartbound (despide Shartbound's "raytraced" lighting). The synths sound pretty nice too.
@00:12: "I don't ever want to create a narrative RPG again, I just want to create mechanics". Neither of which are
@00:41: "I wanted to make [Shartbound] so that I could learn how to be a better writer, and I found throughout that process that I just don't like writing"
So people who paid for Shartbound were actually just funding Mald's education. And the result is that not only Mald failed to learn anything, but that he also hates the thing he was trying to learn in the first place.@00:57: "I have a better way of making Kill the Moon now [...] I was dreaming about it last night, and now I know what I want to do with that game". Mald's dream game, can't wait.

Oh he wants to do plenty of things. I saw in an old video that Mald says he wants to create a monster hunter type of game after HB is done, like either of that is ever going to happen. When someone asks him if he is going to create a MMO, he points him to the direction of his minecraft server, a 'social sandbox MMO' he claims which has 4 people on currently.
At this point i can understand, with the revenue he is still getting streaming why Mald is doing the absolute minimum for a game (HB) that has 4 peak players in the past 2 months, It is simply not worth spending time on it. He could refund the people who bought it and put out some statement like the game is temporarily shelved or whatever, here is your money back and if/when under better circumstances in the future he would get back to to working on it, thank you for your support etc and at least the internet would have one less thing to use and beat him over with. But his ego would never allow him to do that.

He changed his sub goal!?
The faggot needs to lower his goal by 10x to say he can reached it or reached it once he gets a whale donation. What would make this incredible is if he still doesn't even make it this month to the new threshold.

Monster Hunter is only Monster Hunter after a perfect balance between monster AI and the player's actions has been achieved, because there's only so much you can do with the formula of "fight monster with weapon and occasionally trap them." This is something that even Capcom themselves fail at from time to time. A guy with less technical knowledge than a vibe coder whose idea for gameplay in his walking simulator was putting in a neutered version of fucking SkiFree will never be able to make something like that.

If it was his intention to improve upon a particular skill, he would have been better off honing it in personal projects or joining game jams to see how he performs under strict deadlines. Of course, knowing Mald, this kind of thinking likely never crossed his mind, as his 7 years at Blizzard gave him so much experience already. It's astonishing that this shit got as much money as it did in the first place."I wanted to make [Shartbound] so that I could learn how to be a better writer, and I found throughout that process that I just don't like writing"

Could someone archive this? I don't want to be a viewer on his stream even for this purpose.

I'm sure something along these lines is posted on his gaycord under "What Would Mald Do: Advice To Live By: Totally Original Ideas By Mald" or some shit. But what's even better is that Mald is so entitled, he doesn't even realize how disrespectful that sounds. "Yeah, I took your money to finance my writing hobby, guess it didn't pan out. Oh well, I had fun at least. Thanks for the money dummy
... ... ...... Oh look, a ferret!".

Translation from faggot to normie speaking: I just want to fiddle with variables in YMAL and imagine what to do without doing it myself aka delegating the actual work to jake and my other butt plugs orbiters...
Hey faggot by chance if you reading this. We already know this, you want to do jack shit with HB anymore hence the enormous amount of lets plays and mine craft mod tweaking under the disguise of game development. You are an incompetent shallow script kiddie. If you had more than room temperature IQ (in Celsius) you should have hired a handful of jeets from temu to finish your shit long ago, while you stepping down as producer...
