IcyCalm is making a game..

[Casey120]

I'm gravely disappointed that Alex Kierkegaard, Philosopher and Nietzschean Ubermensch turns out to be nothing more than A. Zyrmpas , a petty, low life Ebay scammer on the run .

What a let down ............ un-subscibes from his forum

[Ruldra]

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.

He imposed the fee to stop "idiots" from joining his forum (at least that was his excuse). But since they just keep coming he plans to raise it even more.

I wonder how many people paid the fee, made a single post in his forum and got promptly banned.

[Illyrian]

So basically I have no idea who this Icycalm guy is.

Who is he, why is he so notorious? I can see from the posts in this thread he banned people from some forum or something?

What's the story?

[Khan]

If you havent read his past posts then all you need to know is hes a narcissistic asshole who craves attention.

[Skykid]

He's an idiot with delusions of intelligence.

I can summarise - this is an actual quote from a forum discussion on art/games:

"Second off, I don't have "theories", fagot: I KNOW, because I have studied, thought about, and comprehended the history of art better than any human being that has ever existed."

Imagine typing that and truly believing it. Behold - Icycalm.

It may be a homophobic slur, but am I right in thinking the word is 'Faggot' with two g's?

[Herr Schatten]

I think if one's actually willing to pay a fee to join Icy's forum, of all places, it's a pretty good indication that one is, in fact, an idiot.

It's probably just the entire rest of the world who are wrong.

Love how Recap comes up by the second line. Some of these guys like Icy and Recap are legendary dipshits across the internet. I expect these guys' names to come up in this wikipedia entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2 ... ger_effect

That said, getting people to pay money for your self-adulation forum, maybe he's fucking brilliant!

[manatworks]

Money:
As regards the financial issue, there will not be any money changing hands on this project for a very long time. However, money WILL eventually come into the equation — either in the form of a major publisher taking us on and funding our project (the preferred solution, since as every real gamer knows the best games are always funded by the biggest publishers), or of an eventual Kickstarter campaign, or Steam Early Access, or episodic release of the game via Insomnia's online store, with each chapter funding development of the next one. All of this will be discussed in the game's forum at the appropriate time, as will the issue of compensation for the various contributors. The more, and the more valuable, your contributions end up being, the bigger the slice of the pie you will eventually receive.
The big prize though will always be the work itself — making NOW, what is BOUND to be made by someone at some point. Giving a swift kick to the present, and propelling it that little bit faster into the future. Creating art history, and showing the rest of the world how great art is made. With unbounded ambition, and unfettered enthusiasm.
But above all with a fuckload of talent and a crapload of resources. Which is where you come in.

so, you give me work for free first and i will pay later???
fuck that, i've got so many offer like that and most of them went to hell almost next month right away.

[TrevHead (TVR)]

Ha I knew there would be a thread here, he makes for great entertainment.

I'm surprised I thought devs like you would be falling over yourselves for a chance to work with the great Icycalm? the fact he spent the last 5 years shitting on indie devs would be water under the bridge? no.

That said I would be interested in seeing in what form an Icycalm game would be. No doubt it wouldn't live up to the standard of his own critique, that's probably why most critics stay the hell away from producing their own work as it undermines the foundation their ivory tower is built upon.

Imagine that!

[Daigohji]

I'm so glad he was banned from here.

[DMC]

Icycalm threads are the best! I look forward to read more about his project.
I agree, a documentary about him would be interesting!

[Specineff]

And of course, it's going to be the fault of all those "idiotic, inbred fags" who just don't understand his grand vision and couldn't get it off the ground.

[dcharlie]

I missed the whole Recap / Icy fall out - i am sure that was utterly epic. Does anyone have the crib notes?

I'm expecting many old faces to come out of retirement for this one.

Already bulk ordering the popcorn and planning on monitoring this one go supernova within 14 days.

[kid aphex]

It's a strange feeling when you find yourself agreeing with aspects of his message.

[evil_ash_xero]

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?

Your forgot the best part of that quote about Biohazard 6 - "and this INCLUDES Biohazard 6 you fucking pretentious fagots with shit taste"

I didn't talk to him, when I first joined, but I did read his insane debates. He's pretty hostile. Seems like a real cocksucker.

After reading the "Icycalmisacriminal" site, I'm assuming he's just trying to rip people off again.

[KAI]

His fight with Recap was sooooooooooooo entertaining. I need more shit like that.

[M.Knight]

Where did that fight happen? I remember a old article of Icycalm where he was introducing Recap as the only human being that shares his mindset or something silly along those lines. Seeing those two guys fight gotta be funny.

[KAI]

Recap hasn't got a leg to stand on, which makes sense since we've already seen that he's a cripple

Gold.

[Ruldra]

As usual, Icy is keeping tabs on every site on the web that's talking about his game (that includes 4chan, NeoGAF and this thread). He already showed up at NeoGAF (and got banned) so he might soon show his face over here too.

[Xyga]

Open for preorders soon !

Links? Bet the 4chan one is gone, but as usual I sit on a page of /v/ for one minute, and it's the next page the minute after.
