IcyCalm is making a game..

Post by Battlesmurf »

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=757442

I ran across this on NeoGaf. I fought with myself whether or not to bring it up- and searched to see if anybody brought it up here. Ultimately, it is an interesting piece of internet.

Thoughts?

I am really curious to see how much of a trainwreck this is going to be. :lol:

Sounds almost exactly like the pitch he sent me to start writing for his paid-subscribers-only blog for pennies.

AFTER banning me from his forum.

I guess that blog didn't turn into the money-spinning success he envisioned. No matter, it's way less complicated for someone with his people skills to coordinate the unpaid development of a AAA-quality game.

Icy running a dev team? The amount of disagreements and in-fighting will be glorious.

Don't forget the BEST part!
Note that, once I've invited you to join, you will have to subscribe to the site if you aren't already a subscriber. This is for two reasons. 1) There will be a (hidden) subforum on the site where we will work on the übergame, because this method is superior to trying to exchange emails between dozens of people. And 2) I want to know your real name (which PayPal will give me) because I don't want to allow anonymous people to join in and take a peek at the game before I am ready to unveil it.
$47 subscription fee if you want to program for free on his ubergame!

Why, we're all making a game. I'm making a game. You're making a game. Everyone.

Daniel Radcliffe is making a game.

But seriously a development team has to be like a freakin' marriage. A lot of times I see internet kids trying to get together to make something ambitious and it's like "you're going to contribute 800 hours of your life to these anonymous people who may or may not pull through? Have you ever done anything for 800 hours for free in your life?"

Holy shit, thanks so much for this. I remember him mentioning stealing money but I never knew the details.

So he scammed $150,000+ out of people on eBay, get his bank accounts frozen and now is a federal fugitive. Stay classy Icy.

Charging people a subscription to join the effort to make him money is farcical - as an admin he can easily enable their accounts for free.

Srsly it's enough of a challenge to copy one game and improve upon it in one or two ways..

.. though at this point I'm just wondering how quickly he'd inadvertently convince someone to shank him when he goes to prison.
since it's impossible for the game world to have a significant impact on its creator.
Contrary to the wisdom espoused here by God, you really should eat your own dog food. If you're not sick of the thing after hundreds of hours, and actually think it's still a little cool, you've probably got something decent going on.
But I will still need to know who you are because I don't want my game design leaked ahead of time
I'm a bad enough of a dude to give my ideas away for free. Because I know you subhumans won't be able to do anything with such great insight :snob:

Get this: Advance Wars crossed with MTG and Starcraft. Best game ever. Trillion seller off the bat.

If you don't like that idea, I have others. Hundreds. Literally. But you'll have to sign up for my secret forum for $40 a month!

I was happy to see this story, because I thought he might have given up and faded away, but then LIKE A NINJA he comes back with this farce and knocks the ball out of the park. Good times will be had by all, I'm waiting for him to ban his chief developer for missing a punctuation mark on the forum.

the best games are always made by the largest teams — and this INCLUDES Biohazard 6
HAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAAAHHAHA
HAHAHAHA

HA
The game will have enormous and labyrinthine dialogue trees — even if you have no technical expertise you can still pitch in if creating branching paths and mind-bending character interaction is something that fascinates you and you are good at
So it's a fucking visual novel?

wannabe illuminati motherfucker.. if he was really a ubermensch then he would surely have enough brain and skill to be good at games unlike us mere mortals.

I know he is deluded, intolerant and has an unusually big superiority complex, but he is also guilty of fraud and is a fugitive? What an amazing character! :lol:
It makes it even more interesting to see where this little scam of his will go on.

Wow, is P-A's art quality actually regressing?

Also, icedclams is quite the character, and that's all I have to say about that.

if icy didn't have a rich mummy and daddy he would be working at mcdonalds.
