Is the world saved now?
>>109091294this guy utterly buckbroke some retard on this board.
>>109091354buckbroke how?
>>109091423NTA but the same guy or discord group keeps making threads about jblow even though they're more often than not off topic, it's just some personal grudge>but he wrote a programming langua-kek cope
>>109091423he lives rent free in someones head and they keep making daily butthurt threads about him lol
>>109091294jonathan please kill yourself i need this badly
>>109091439cope how?He's literally making a new programming language.Uses it for game dev.Does a regular programming vlog (where he often discusses other tech-related topics).He's more relevant to /g/ than anything that gets regularly posted here.
>>109091294He uses Windows. How the fuck a fucktard like him can save the world?
It's kind of sad watching an apparently intelligent and hardworking person fail constantly for decades straight. He probably should just become a monk at this point.
>>109091294Yes
>>109091531Fail how?
>>109091597Being bald is almost as bad as it gets
>>109091597None of his games really succeeded, not even for an indie company. His best game (the witness) was entirely overshadowed by The Talos Principle. Other indie companies like Supergiant or even Subset Games were way more successful.
>>109091354>>109091439yeah this site has been raped to death by discord trannieshope they are proud of themselves
He looks like that psycho kid in Toy Story.
>>109091869They did pretty well, mainstream success. Supergiant slop seemed to appeal more to autistic normie kids.downloading Witness 2 demo, is it good?
>>109091294>takes 10 years to make a programming language>game looks like shit and struggles to hit 60fpshe could have just used a low level language like C++ and developed his own abstractions around it to disable all the shit parts he hated and it would have been better and faster.
>>109093394You will never understand what motivates creative people.
>>109091439>>109091443lmao, these jblow simps need to invent conspiracy theories to cope.I frequently ridicule jblow just for fun.
>>109093586how would you know? you're a useless retard on a dead image board.
>>109091294>Is the world saved now?did they wipe Israel off the map?did they execute all jews in positions of power in the world?no?then the world is not saved.
>>109093667The mindless shitposting hater reveals himself unable to continue.
>>109091443I've never seen unironic hate towards Blow. Some people might criticize him for this and that and he's quite eccentric person, but I don't remember a hate wave towards Blow. He was always ourguy Also pretty much the only person in vidya dev industry who is openly anti-woke
>>109091480it depends, winsovl 7 or winslop 11?
aint no point to the game
>>109091294when you're in a looking chopped competition and this guy is your opponent
>spend 10 years and 30 milly on development>games is projected to make 2.4 million tops on launch, BEFORE the valve tax and BEFORE the publisher tax and BEFORE the taxesgrim, grim... maybe make a fun game instead of another sokoban clone
>>109091468>Uses it for game dev.source?
>>109093586No offense to him, but he's the literal opposite of creative. Masturbating with code is not creativity.
>>109094151Not only his games are not creative (Mario with time rewind mechanic + Sokoban clone), but he's not really good at coding either, if you've watched any of his streams developing the Order of the Big Stinky, most of the times he'd pull code from SVN, run automated level tests, run into some regression, spend 20 minutes trying to figure out what's wrong then say "you know what, let's someone from the team figure it out", push his small number of changes and go play a card game or go on a rant how he, an old balding faggot, does not like the types of dudes 20 year old girls date on his local campus. He's a hack that accidentally lucked out in the early days of independent game dev and is now burning through his money.
>>109091294I saved it twice but look out for jerks.
>>109091294No, it's still doomed by nuclear weapons.
>>109094141Blow also stated that the game can take up to 250 hours to complete at a normal pace, and more than 500 hours to solve all puzzles
>>109094163it's this mindbroken schizo again
>>109094278ive noticed this (the poster) too
i just can't take his ramblings about software quality seriously anymore after the dogshit demo he put out
>>109093733>Also pretty much the only person in vidya dev industry who is openly anti-wokeI guess that's why he lives rent-free in some Discord troon's head. It checks out.
>>109091439
>odor of the stinking saar
>want to try ootss>no linux build
i downloaded the demo and played itwhy is performance so awful?genuinely, this thing looks like a tablet game and runs like assalso lol if he expects people to listen to awful dialogue in this shit
>>109097057it seems richly animated, effects and shaders all over.Yeah the dialog is so pretentious, i didn't wishlist the game.It seems like an ok puzzle game, lacks the creativity of baba is you, the game it seems to be modelled on. I enjoyed the witness much more than this. Didn't he make that game with another person and they had a blow up trying to get it done? I wonder if they were the reason that was a better game..
>>109097097it looks like shit, dawgthe art direction and tone is just... i don't know what the references were here.it also just feels bad to do shit in the gamei'll pirate it and probably won't get far
>>109097057I downloaded it and it ran fine.Interesting how so many people have random claims of bad performance and no evidence or details
>>109097172yeah bro, it's a conspiracy against based jon blow
>>109097129Ah each to their own, I played so many games like this over the years that this seems higher quality than average. But it could have also been built from store assets for all I know.The references are Kalandra from POE and BABA IS YOU.. or something. It might be interesting if people clone themselves with the mirrors and this sets up the conflict. But it is bound to be 100x gayer given the rainbows.
>>109095627lmao
>>109091294no
>>109091885>duuuuh hurr durr uh its DA TRANNNIEEEEESSSThis site has been raped to death by pol/twitter and its army of subhuman mouthbreathers, it's actually incredible how you lot lack any sort of self awareness. There are probably very very few trannies here outside of the dedicated fag board.
>>109097129I think it's the outline shader on interactablesThat's what makes the game feel cheap
>>109093586>You will never understand what motivates creative people.Sounds like cope from someone incapable of making a decent game>y-you have to understand my creative vision!!! at 15fps!!!
>>109091294Holy shit man I just made sokoban in Odin and got a blowjob from a John did I do it? It's ok man I paid troons janny salaries to make the art for trans rights with Tumblr grade ontology
Not until every vaxxie goes zombie and dies off
>>109097129>>109097888the color composition sucks, too. there are a lot of clashing colors.
>>109091354It's very funny to be quite tbqhwyf
>>109093733He was never our guy and for good reasons. Like you say, though, I've yet to say any actual hate as opposed to mockery. The detractors, as far as I've seen so far, have been quite even handed in acknowledging his contributions and so on. But there is definitely a... fanbase, shall we say... that gets their panties in a bunch if even the slightest criticism is leveraged at him, and who will deny reality to defend his honor for some reason. Said fanbase might have the wrong impression of the situation.
>>109094246That was what he said for the witness (actually figures: 20h and 40h respectively, which is still a very good amount of content, but maybe his order of magnitude error says a lot about him).
>>109097248Despite being less than [troon] percent of the population troons make over 80 billion percent of all code(My point is it's ludicrously disproportionate but hard to measure)
>>109097129It looks like work in progress unityslop. He literally could have just used Unity for this.
>>109098985It might be the case that there are SO MANY different levels with different backgrounds, that the functional elements need to be garish colors to stand out on every level
>>109097129Blow just has bad aesthetic taste because he's engineer-minded, but insists on also being the art director.If he hired an actual AD, his art team wouldn't be as wasted.
>>109093733Look at the shit ITT. Look at all the retards taking the trouble to shit on screenshots that are perfectly beautiful while still having excellent gameplay readability. No honest, objective criticism at all.It's all haters (or samefags) who just hate blow. So they post a relentless deluge of criticism, disguising the lack of depth or truth with vehemence and hostility.Watch. No one will reply with improved, better criticism. Every reply to this will be a shitpost.
>>109091869witness made 13 mil gross, fuccnigga
>>109091294When you take >10 years to release a more ergonomic programming language, don't be surprised when LLMs make programming language ergonomics irrelevant.t.QML dev (I don't know QML)
>>109099877>QMLyou mean desktop CSS?
>>109099887I literally can't refute this because, as stated, I don't know QML.
>>109091439>kek copeSays the coping retard.
>>109099858>while still having excellent gameplay readability.It doesntThe screenshot posted in this thread is a great example because the most important thing on the map, the level indicators, are barely visibleThe game has poor art direction
>>109099858I genuinely can't tell if you're trolling or what lol
>>109100243either a fanboy or jon himself.
i remember when the witness came out there was an area that required looking at shadows to solve the puzzlesonly problem was that the shadows didn't render correctly on amd hardware because in the 10 years he spent making that game he never tested on an amd cardhe had to rush out and buy gpus on launch day to try and fix it lol
>>109100286That's the greatest programmer in the world for you.
>>109100286works on my machine^tm(amdgpu on linux with dxvk)
>>109097129I wish him good luck, but it looks like shit
>>109100286not testing on multiple devices before release is crazy
>>109091468>He's literally making a new programming language.Congrats to him?>>109094141He's building a Sokoban with it, there is a demo on the "Steam Next Fest" but for a showcase of his engine and TOTALLY IMPROVE PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE (please use it over C#!), a Sokoban shouldn't be it.
i played more of the demo and i take it all back:this looks amazing. wow.
>>109100243>>109100255>every response is an empty shitpost, as predicted.
>>109091423The other day a webshitter said that he had reached out to jon blow to get beta access to his compiler for his programming language and he was denied. So now he is seething.
>>109103509>>109097129It's been like a decade since the Witness and this is all he's made? Oh yeah, there was also the Braid remaster no one cared about. He certainly has the work ethic of a college drop-out.
>>109091354>>109091423>>109091439Check this out >>>109076297, 90% of the thread is seething about Blow. Some autists out there have basically been in constant seethe mode over him for years.
>>109091869>None of his games really succeededkek case in point about seething to the point of delusion. Braid was a huge hit and one of the founders of the whole indie game industry back in the XBLA days, and The Witness has almost 17k reviews on Steam alone.
>>109104604witness has over 20k, you're just auto-filtered to english reviews
>download order of the sinking star demo>4.6 GB for a sokoban game>open it, black screen for ~10 seconds>6.3 GiB of RAM usage>less fps than GTA 5hahaha holy shit, this nigga used to shit on webdevs
>>109104649here's something fun: 1. Bind up/down/left/right to not WASD2. Try to use the binds in the main menu
>>109104644Good point, and it's a 40 dollar game no less. Doesn't include other platforms either.If The Witnees is not a success what other indie game is aside from Minecraft?
>>109104649GTA5 was a ps3 game
>>109091577> yes what? elaborate or stay seething
>>1091046494.6GB is a reasonable size for an entire video game with lots of art. Is the 6.3GB for cpu and gpu ram? Because that's not bad if it is.
>>109104742>Because that's not bad if it is.are you retarded?
>dude makes game>4chan madwhy does this happen?
>>109104750are you going to answer the question? you know that allocating things on the GPU and allocating things on the CPU use different memory heaps right (excluding unified memory platforms). Do you think 4k textures take 100KiB? You need to profile the game to know if there is room for improvement there.
>>109094135>muh passion project>muh artistic visionenjoy your 2.4m and a steam page full of negative reviews from people who actually played it
>>109104649>>1091047425GB storage usage is alright for a game that has to support 4k screens.6GB RAM usage is pretty awful when GTA5 uses less than 3GB RAM.
>>109101762in a recent interview he talked about not doing a bunch of playtesting in his previous games for whatever reasonthat would've obviously catch the amd bug
>>109104772More like>dude known for being autistically outspoken on shit software and how bad modern developers are>releases a demo that proves he's no better
>>109104604>The Witness has almost 17k reviews on Steam alone.This is what a medium-successful game looks like on steam after 8 years. Anyway the witness is a easy to make game with 4 hours of content. >If The Witnees is not a success what other indie game is aside from Minecraft?Here's some successful indie games:>Hollow knight - 178k>binding of isaac - 145k>undertale - 157kJust ones I thought of from the top of my head.>Braid was a huge hitOnly relatively, but it was mostly from luck. Microsoft shilled the 5 games released that august really hard, with a prize draw for anyone that bought. >one of the founders of the whole indie game industryIt's not like he helped anyone. It's also not beloved, because it wasn't good.
>>109104780I think that it's pretty funny that the guy who shits on webdevs for producing bloated and slow shit made a bloated and slow game.I can play GTA 5 on my laptop with an integrated gpu at 50 fps, yet jon blow's game runs at 13 fps.
>>109104786yeah so that's why I want to know, is it 6GB because that anon is lying and put the game on ultra high graphics settings or something. Not trying to blindly defend Jonathan (I find him annoying desu) but I get tired of people making bad faith claims about shit on /g/. There's a real chance it runs like shit if his custom compiler is not doing -O3 levels of optimization. >>109104808hardware specs? I asked if its 6GB split across CPU and GPU or 6GB all CPU and there's additional memory being used on the GPU. Nvidia still has shitty gpus that only have 6GB of ram, so if it requires more than that then yes he's in big trouble.
>>109104789you don't have to do detailed playtesting, I work on a custom rendering engine and we each scene just to see if it renders on apple / nvidia / amd because that's 99% of our customers. Maybe there's some guy using our shit on Intel ARC but I wouldn't know if it works there lmao
>>109104798All of those games cost a third or less compared to The Witness, some less than a fourth. Anyway Hollow Knight, BoI, and Undertale are shitty indie flops anyway, ONLY 178k? Absolute failure kek, I bet the retards who made them are begging for money in the street. Black Myth: Wukong (indie) has almost 900k while priced at $60 and Minecraft, while not being on Steam, sold more than all of those combined multiplied by 20.Fact is, Jonathan Blow has made 2 games and both have been huge successes and foundational. That's 2 for 2, he has not had a single flop, or even a mediocre game. That's a 100% success rate.
>>109104824>is it 6GB because that anon is lying and put the game on ultra high graphics settings or somethingthe game has no ultra high graphics settings. you can choose between quality and performance.it made no difference in performance/memory which mode I selected btw.
>>109091480Every time I met a linux tard irl they would be fat and autistic, I saw the average /g/ tard in my class at university, running a core 2 duo huge stinkpad constantly opening and closing the terminal cause there's nothing that can be done in linux.Any time a professor would ask for something he would need to run windows in a vm cause things would bug out through wine and wouldn't have a troonix equivalent.One time a professor saw him use linux and made fun of him.
>>109104861And then everybody clapped.
>>109094151nocode detected
>>109094163butthurt tranny jeet
>>1090941352.4 million ain't bad, can live a good life off of that, can't say the same for wage slaving like you do
>>109104868was it you? do you still have that stinkpad that ran minecraft at 10 fps?
>>109104888some prop hunt ripoff that was vibe coded in 3 months made 30 million
>>109104706...And? Still less frames than GTA5 which released on 256mb RAM 20 years ago.
>>109104791they you should definitely be mad about it, good call
>>109104940no ones mad, we're just calling out the hypocrisy
>>109104947calm down, it's the weekend
>>109104987less shitposting, more game fixing, jon :)
>>109104845>178k? Absolute failure>17k huge successkek.Of course those games mog witness in revenue as well but this is extra funny:>I bet the retards who made them are begging for money in the street. Witness had a budget of $6M and made 13-30M.Undertale had a budget of $50k and made 50-60M. Toby is comfortable for life.But revenue is not everything. The reviews are much more telling on how culturally relevant, foundational and well-liked those games are. How well they stood the test of time, if you will.>>109104888>Spend 30M>Get 2.4M backYou don't understand math?Looks like Blow will Blow most of his earnings!
>>109105091>>178k? Absolute failure>>17k huge success>kek.Anon, he's making fun of you.
>>109097172I tried it on an rtx 5070 and a ryzen 5600, I was getting under 150 fps, the gpu wasn't even maxed out, it was at 70-80% which is still a lot for how the game looks, but my cpu was at 1-3% which is almost close to idle.I don't know why it didn't make use of the entirety of my gpu, I don't know why it runs as badly or worse than unreal engine 5 games with lumen, but it's summer and I won't be dying of heat generated by my gpu playing his shitty demo.I don't hate jblow but he really fucked the performance, if you look at interviews with him he didn't even do the graphics code, just the gameplay code so idk.
succinctness is a very important tool.
>>109105091he spent 30m of his own money, he won't have 30m but he will still have 2m, I don't see your pointhe said it himself that he could have retired with the money he had but instead chose to invest it into what he likes, you are still a wage slave tho
>>109105382>he said it himself that he could have retired with the money he had but instead chose to invest it into what he likesit;'s not an investment if you're going to lose 90% of it>you are still a wage slave thoso will jon in the future considering he's burning through his money to produce a crappy sokoban clone that won't sell well
>>109091354a lolcow
JAI when? I somehow find it hard to picture Jon Blow maintaining a tool people use. I can just imagine him streaming himself facepalming to "stupid" issues and pull requests of his ignorant users.
>>109107965Sometime after the game releases which is planned for (probably Q4) this year.I wouldn't expect public links until Q1-Q2 next year though.And yeah, he's probably not going to run a proper github, just doing what he's been doing, only with public links.
>>109091294his game sucks ass
