Just went and pulled her article from cultofmac on Metal. It's basically a press release for both Apple and for revolution 60. http://www.cultofmac.com/281987/gamers-excited-metal/



Her ignorance shines through this entire article.

Holy shit, Wu's a goddamn moron.

Anyone ever heard of the game kkhrieger? It was a proof of concept game where they managed to make a game that looks like a low res version of Doom 3 that still looks miles above in quality over R60.

The real genius is that it included hardware transform and lighting, decently detailed textures, a fair sized amount of gameplay content and rudimentary physics.........AND THEY MANAGED TO COMPRESS ALL THIS INTO A FILE LESS THAN 100KB IN SIZE.

The pathetic part is that this POC game managed to do most if not all of what R60 does MUCH BETTER, and while shorter in terms of overall content, it's much more fun.


Edit: Been reading through that article, and damn, Wu knows fuck all about how to use graphics emulation tricks to overcome limitations.

The glass shards could have been very low res 2D images given a transparency overlay to give them a 3D look with a few repeating frames and simple light map to disguise how cheap it was.

Specular maps could have been convincingly faked using similar graphics tricks if you just can't do it for real, though you could probably do some low res real versions on the cheap for a portable system.

Also, transparency is not optimized...my ass. Just depends on how you use the technique and how well you scale it to the task at hand.

I haven't dicked around with Unreal too much, but I do know the facial animation issue sounds more like Wu can't optimize worth a damn and less like engine limitations.

But does that game has emotions like Rev 60 (whatever that means)? I don't think so.

Do you really think Wu's that competent, after what we've seen this week?

Yes. Even Chris-Chan could do this. Wu just needs to say "$25,000 to employee 1 working on graphics, $12,000 to employee 2 working on PC porting issues," and she's done.

Backers could try to sue her for breach of contract, and it would be gloriously funny to watch. But to think that it would be an easy case for them shows a lack of knowledge of how legal cases work.

It's .kkrieger, I believe.

But let's be honest: most people could only hope to be as good as some of those demosceners. That does not excuse Wu's shitty programming, though.

As opposed to Wu herself, who doesn't know anything about games development.

Depends if Brianna registered the Kickstarter under her own identity like the Patreon, or used her shell company. If it's the latter, she can probably just waltz away and let the company go under - having long since converted all its assets into motorcycles and Soylent. Creditors attempting to pierce the corporate veil would fall squarely in the "not worth $500" zone.
 
Speaking of Natalie, I think I found something written by Natalie. Right on the Kickstarter page. It looks like its from august 10th. Also john has been checking the kickstarter as of yesterday. He knows his time to pony up is approaching fast.

Oh man, oh man, I can't wait!! This is going to be spectacular, or at least I hope so.
I know she'll just make something up, but what she lies about is going to be the good part.
 
No matter how this plays out, it's definitely gonna be a sizable blow to Brijonna and his ego. Dis gon be good.
 
Hey I found something else, that is of interest. Did you know that PC version is already done and just needs to be playtested. Just look at the date.

Um yeah ok there buddy. So by the way john, where is that game? Because like you said its basically done. Does anyone know how long playtesting takes?
 
Oh good grief, John lies about his podcast being anything other than his personal circlejerk, and look at all the betas tonguing Wu's ass.

Wu wants someone to show up on his circlejerk.png
 
I love how Wu has set this up so there's absolutely no way it goes well. Not releasing it will be a disaster. Releasing it will be a disaster.

It's a total lose-lose.
 
I really want the shitty game to be released, if only to read the reviews that call it out for the shit it is.
 
I have extended love to Twitter's @RachelMirandaJ, because women need to stand up to the oppression caused by Wu and her followers. Not sure of a response, but if it happens I am hoping to make a friend.

Another sane woman has agreed with my opinion of Wu. I no longer feel like a minority.

The tides are changing. Wu truly holds the key with Rev60 on Steam. (If it gets released ON TIME I promise to buy it and spend my only day off Sunday playing it, with review.)


EDIT*** I acknowledge this Twitter account technically may not be as it appears to be, but whatever...
