MAX MCGEE'S PROFILE

Actually looking through all of her reviews the other day I noticed that nhubi had given almost NO games a rating of 4+, possibly actually none (I don't recall at the moment). I remember thinking... "MAN, what is she LOOKING for? doesn't she love ANYTHING?"

oh well. /tangent

A lot of us have probably heard all manner of comments by people we work with, friends, and on social media sites, and honestly one thing I've learned is that America still has a pretty big race problem.

I think other people have talked about this in way more articulate ways than me. Personally? It honest-to-goodness brings me to tears that it's taken so much death before some folks are willing to possibly, maybe, almost begin to consider the barest possibility that, just perhaps, institutionalized racism is still a thing.

Institutionalized racism is definitely a factor, but equally a factor is the fact that pigs are despicable cowards with an "us versus them" mentality as well as more military hardware and "moral flexibility" than your average Call of Duty characters. In other words, America also still has a pretty big cop problem.

I don't have an unbiased opinion on this. As a quasi-anarchist subversive punk radical, I am seriously fucking racist against blue people. (It's kind of wrong to suggest that pigs belong to their own ethnic group. Really, they're not even the same species.)

"On the other hand" not that it's an issue I feel any real need to be even-handed or equivocate about, most eye witness accounts do seem to agree that Michael Brown at least did reach through the window of a police car to start punching and/or man-handling that cop (Darren Wilson). While it's kind of fucked up that this is true...doing shit like that's a really good way to get your ass killed in just about any part of this country, and I think that's common knowledge by now, so assuming all of those reports aren't bullshit...what the fuck was the dude thinking? Assaulting a cop is about as good for your health as jumping off a tall building.

Wow, I have played that game in its entirety multiple times and I certainly did not recognize her in that outfit.

Yeah, these DreamTeam Supergames always tend to go exactly nowhere. YDS has made some cute and stylish stuff but she has never produced anything, to my knowledge, that was much longer than 20 minutes or so in length. The scope of this project is to cover the history of three real world wars with 8 playable characters, two different combat systems, 100% original art and music...

Sorry, no, without a demo to demonstrate that there's an actual game here somewhere, I wouldn't put any money in this and I have to strongly recommend no one else does either. The fact that she seems to be asking for money up front to have all her assets completed first is completely backwards, in my opinion. Make the game first, then ask people for money to add all the art and extra features you want.

I gotta say man this is mad harsh. Like I tend to be a bit harsh myself but...damn.

@Max_McGee:
You won't be disappointed in that Demo. I'm a harsh critique, and I was swept off my feet. LINUS is a great teaser for a well-fleshed story and world. :)

Important clarification: I am the battle gameplay designer for LINUS. That should be on the game page and rather hard to miss.

You intend to sell it, the timeframe is irrelevant. Developing a commercial game still requires the commercial tag.

What about a game that might go commercial later on, or not, depending on how things go during the development cycle? Different case, right?
