Progress Update
I'm busy making my list and checking it twice, etc, and I hope you're all enjoying your Christmas eves (or not, if that's your thing :P)! I'm still planning on doing the release tomorrow, likely pretty late in the day (so in a worst case scenario, it'll be an early Boxing Day release :P). The only thing that's a bit shaky still is the save system, but we'll see what I can get working by tomorrow night. Happy Holidays!

Once again... he fails to deliver, but we are alredy used to that, he hasn't learned the lesson yet, then complains about "haters".
ReplyDeleteNobody cares what you think Anon :)
DeleteHe will still have it out late tomorrow or worst case scenario Friday so he did not "fail to deliver" as you put it.
Delete@ Anonymous 8:09, 4:57, and 4:11
DeleteIt's pretty obvious you're trolling. Most people have forgiven H-Bomb since he's actually doing work now. If anybody hates him, it's mostly just you.
@Anon 11:17
DeleteMost people have forgiven? Where do you come from with such words? Can I see your extra special statistics that you were gathering? And if you don't have one, why don't you shut your face and stop spouting baseless bullshit?
It's true that H-Bomb got his shit together and at least does some updates again, but if he again fails to deliver or the game is broken as hell again, be prepared for shitstorm to start again.
Woah, dudes. A bit sad to see these comments, considering for me, this was posted Christmas EVE. You know, the 24th? Christmas being on the 25th? But I think it's obvious by now some people can't count, nor do they know basic dates-- stuff that kindergarten children have figured out. For a few years now.
DeleteMaybe it's because me and H-Bomb are in the same timezone or something, but it just so happens it's 6:43 AM as I write this, and I'm kinda used to him posting closer to 10 PM. Just a thought.
Oh, since you Anon's can read the future, mind telling me tomorrow's lottery numbers? It's pretty obvious you've got some spooky fore-sight, considering you know he'll fail damn near 36 hours before he actually posts anything.
Loving how quick people are getting with the "Fuck You"s. I feel pride that now, people around the world can no longer express a point without swears.
Happy Holidays, guys!
Well, some countries have different traditions. Here in Denmark for example Christmas is celebrated the 24th, nothing really happens on the 25th.
Delete@Jason
DeleteImagine a situation:
Every day when you go out, you happen to go past a homeless hobo. And each time you pass him, he slaps you in a face. Do you really need to know how to predict a future to know that next time you go near him he'll slap you again? (I know you all brave heroes could punch a hobo or take another route, but that's not the point here) When things happen repeatedly, they become a tendency - unless you're some extra nice white knight, you're bound to expect the same result.
25th is holiday only for Christians, and not all of them, actually. You might want to look up the percentage of Christians in the world.
Let me get this straight.
DeleteSo, even though this was posted on Wednesday December 24 AND makes a reference to Christmas Eve being on that very same day and the release of the version would be the day after, it still isn't foolish to expect a product earlier because the person in question might not celebrate on the same days?
That sounds dumb to me. Like, really, really dumb. I'm not in the same timezone either, but I don't expect these things to come out a few hours earlier for my region of the world only.
He...will...fail... he is just making the game take longer and longer cause soon enough he will run out of interesting innovative ideas and those patrons who are making a lazy ass guy UBER rich by paying him a monthly paycheck bigger than CEO's of big companies will start leaving and he will have to actually work to get 1% of what he get by sitting around all day and doing some programming once a week.
Deleteoh and i am the 1st anonymous and yes people curse because they are not happy, have all patrons stop paying for 2 or 3 months and you will see where all this goes...
Lemme define that for you;
Delete"syc·o·phant /ˈsikəˌfant,ˈsikəfənt/
noun
A person who acts obsequiously toward someone important in order to gain advantage."
So, how am I gaining an advantage here? :D I really don't care if I am nerdy or disgusting to you- fact is, I make a lot of money, get laid anytime I want, do anything I desire...it's not that hard, really. You are getting worked up over a video game, that is being made by four people, because they don't have it "RIGHT FUCKING NOW". I've let this project slip from my mind numerous times now, despite still being a patron. I just don't care :P I wanna pop back in every few months and see new landmarks, so what if he wants to spend three months recoding it? Fine with me; progress.
As for mister Chinese dude, you go to extremes way too quickly, if I remember right, weren't you comparing this to murder at one point? My mind escapes me, however, I have an answer to yout question. The best way to go about the hobo punching you in your face is to change the situation entirely. I know sometimes it's easy to try to fix things instead of starting over, but you might just have to, one day- change is never fun, at best it's uncomfortable, at worst you're dead, but life happens either way.
Now as H-Bomb goes, me and him are (and this is hypothesis, here) in the same timezone, and celebrate Christmas the same. I'm not Christian, nor do I follow any "proper" religion, but I do celebrate it with my family either way. And that day just so happens to be on the 25th. So, maybe we should wait and see if he does deliver? Because he did say it would be late the 25th, early 26th. So, it's proper to complain in around 6-12 hours, when he actually WILL be late. I'm sorry about you others in different timezones, as Christmas has already come and gone and are slightly confused; but soon time'll pass enough.
:D "Dey see me trollin', dey hatin'..."
DeleteJason left no survivors has he slaughtered the haters and trolls that day. XD
DeleteMarry Christmas everybody and have a great new year!
^ I see someone is a little upset.
Delete@anon 8:19 pm : Technically, aren't you his bitch, considering you're clamoring and complaining about the present you never received? :D I'ma sit back here and relax, maybe drink a little... and think about H-bomb in the shower? Dunno ;P
DeleteJason, I know you think you are smart and very cunning -- and you might be, when compared to the rest of the comments, but that doesn't say much. If you can't draw a connection between my usage of the word sycophant and your behavior, there is probably no point in me having a real discussion with you. (Besides that, there are multiple slightly different definitions of the word, and I trust you can figure out why I called you one if you do a bit of Googling.)
DeleteThe update was predicted for early boxing day... now boxing day is long past whatever timezone you are in. This isn't the first time that a promise wasn't kept, more like the tenth (literally). It is your choice to continue being a naive follower defending his every move, but people with a few brain cells between them have long since realized that throwing an endless stream of compliments at him for _failing_ to deliver on his promises will certainly do nothing to improve his behavior.
In the meantime you counter most of this with arguments such as "I'm in timezone x and not entirely sure about H-Bomb's, and since it's not yet Boxing Day for me, you guys obviously can't count (completely dismissing the possibility of a difference in timezones either way)"... and then even more embarrassingly: "I make a lot of money, get laid anytime I want, do anything I desire...it's not that hard, really." which is completely divorced from the topic. That's like leading a serious discussion with someone and then countering with "OH YEAH WELL, I GET LAID MORE OFTEN THAN YOU". To make it short: you are embarrassing, naive and quite possibly a dumb liar who doesn't understand the difference between "predicting the future" and predicting based on past events. Pretty sad, I hope you can change within your lifetime but it might already be too late.
*now early boxing day
Delete(although ignore that, I was wrong about that -- the rest of the argument still stands)
Dude, it's still 3:22 AM on boxing day :D it seems to me you're spouting out big words to try to come off as intelligent, as well as continuing an argument for no better reason then "Eh, fuck it." If you're disappointed in H-bomb, then why are you still here? :P you said it yourself. If you are as intelligent as you try to come off, then follow your own advice, try predicting the future using past events. Your response to my comment was, "Shut up, you nerdy sycophant, you are disgusting." And, I needn't prove myself against people who start arguments not using any evidence to back them up, nor dating anything aside from insults. Good job, smart guy :D analyze some more, yeah?
DeleteNo this is how I usually talk, but thanks for saying I seem intelligent. I corrected myself a comment after that (2 minutes) as you'll surely have seen before responding. I'm not disappointed in H-Bomb, I'm disappointed in you and your blind faith when H-Bomb really doesn't deserve it. I didn't need any evidence for me to say what I said, since it's obvious to everyone reading your comments, you fanatic. And I didn't really expect for you to address anything I said in my comment, but I guess I should have expected the mental diarrhea that is your response.
DeleteSo, usually when someone says something, you reply with, "fuck your face"? You sad, sad person. Go home, anon, you're drunk :P
DeleteLike I said before, if you don't like what he's doing or how he's doing it, then Leave.
WHITE KNIGHT, AWAAAAAAAAY!
"I've let this project slip from my mind numerous times now, despite still being a patron. I just don't care"
DeleteJason, you show quite some butthurt and attention as for project that you don't care. Reading your sick shit only leads to facepalm. From hobo punching, through "i got laid, applause please" to uneasy-changing-your-life-one-time-or-dying-or-idk-what-other-bullshit-you-can-imagine philosophy attempt. Would you consider to change your dealer, at least for Christmas? Ask H-bomb for a rise, you definitely need some less brainfucking drugs.
Just to make clear - i'm not the anon you were arguing with above.
You guys are a laugh :D so defensive! Don't mean to threaten you so much. What criticism is, "you will fail"? Generally criticism is, "I don't like this because ______."
DeleteI'm paying attention now because this is too funny to pass up, I'm sorry, but it's true.
There's a reason I use my name; it's to keep you from confusing me with the other Anons. That's where the "fuck your face" comment came from. It's easy to confuse the rabble.
You are a laugh, you never manage to address a single point or criticism made towards you. You've been acting like a child with no skills in discussions whatsoever this entire time. Please continue deluding yourself.
Delete> What criticism is, "you will fail"? Generally criticism is, "I don't like this because ______."
DeleteThe dude you wre discussing with never said that. Stop using strawman arguments. Criticism is whatever needs to be said, there's no specific format to it as long as it can be construed as constructive. Not licking someone's boots for endlessly delaying updates and failing to keep deadlines is definitely part of it...
Bleep bloop.
Delete...I just wanted to join the cool kids and be in this reply monstrosity, too.
Sup Minty. Also no Jason, what you are doing is not criticism -- it's just sad and embarrassing. You are lucky that aren't using a more identifiable nick, you would never live this stupidity down... Also yeah, I figured you would slowly reduce the amount of counter-"arguments" (quotation marks because it was basically all retarded) and stoop to insults solely when you feel utterly defeated. Seems we have reached this point, great argument though! "you smell like ass", yes it has a great impact. I feel my opinion changing already...
DeleteSee? Minty gets it :D
DeleteWell, apparently what the anon above you says, that does count. And come on, big guy, you scare me so much :P what are you gonna do? "Come find" my ass? Make me regret I was born?! Big talk from a man behind a computer screen. So what criticism has been addressed to me, then? Since I'm a nerdy sycophant. Lay it on me. You replied the same as the anon's above, so excuse me for assuming it was you. After all, you both carry the anonymous name. Use him as an example. Keep going, make yourself feel important by saying, "oh yeah? Well he's been late before!" Why don't you throw some more wood to burn, in why he'll be late.
Dude... I never threatened you with violence or said anything even alluding to it. My intention wasn't to threaten you, but to shame you. And why did you quote "come find" in "come find my ass", and why would that be the first scenario you imagine, you little pervert ;). Regarding the criticisms, maybe just re-read this discussion I don't want to repeat all of it, it's all just right above this reply! I'm sure you'll manage.
DeleteThat's a nice closer and all, but I'm not threatened or shamed, nor am I stopping. Usually when people say those kinds of things, it means I've upset them to the point that they want to do something. Like come find me. Which really doesn't do anything to me considering you're a guy/girl in God knows where, saying what ever the fuck you want, over (and this is key, here;) a computer.
DeleteI'm not afraid to admit defeat- I did say 6 to 12 hours, which have passed, so H-Bomb is a wee late, but aside from that, your arguments are still only half valid and unstable, especially when directed towards me.
Criticism is saying what you have a problem with, and why, and sometimes even with ways to improve those problems thrown in. Not insults, not a four word sentence saying it being wrong, not a lecture about why you're right. None of it. There is such a thing as taking negative criticism and putting it in a positive way, this is how people teach kids in school. It's called constructive criticism, and can be good or bad.
H-Bomb gets a golden star if he progresses even the littlest bit, and doesn't do another black out like he did in October. He can take my dollar and wipe his ass with it for all I care, it's a gift, I'm not paying him for a service, and I don't demand something the literal minute after the deadline expires. The reason I say if you don't like it, then leave, is because you don't want to offer any constructive criticism, neither positive or negative, to help advance the project or discussion in any way. Instead, you call other commentators sycophants because people like me believe he deserves a chance to make up for his past mistakes, yet you can't see the reason for it. It's because Fuck it, that's why. I can give this guy as many chances to redeem himself as I want to. All the better if I disgust you doing it.
Bleep bloop.
It just comes down to that I don't want you to blindly put your faith into someone who really doesn't deserve it, especially when confronted with evidence for his repeated unreliability. I don't want to find you and take a plane from Germany to wherever the fuck you are and beat you up or whatever, nor did you upset me besides being extremely bullheaded. I admit I might have been a bit mean with my wording at times, but this stupid, blind ignorance: "oh yeah you will? Oh you didn't? Oh well... maybe next time" ad nauseatum really makes my blood boil.
DeleteSee? Now it's starting to turn into a constructive conversation rather then a meaningless argument.
DeleteI put my faith in him because I tried what he is doing before, and failed. I'm living vicariously through him, and just want him to succeed, not see "you suck and fail". He's earned my dollar, even if all he adds a day is one line of code, saying ;
Var smiley = true //the player gets a smiley face when the button is pushed!
;
The reason behind this? He's making progress. Little, sure, but progress nonetheless. Yeah he's terrible about deadlines, but at least once a year he's posting something, and that's worth a whole $12 for that year. It's better then me going out and buying a whole pizza for one entire lunch, because this way, it's helping someone, however little it does.
That depends entirely on the Pizza ;). I want to note though that I said what I just said, the whole time -- just in slightly different terms. I still think that stance is naive but, as most things concerning opinion, it's ultimately up to you. It's not even so much about the lacking progress but about his dishonesty -- You know exactly why he doesn't keep deadlines if you attended some kind of school or employment at some point and were expected to turn in homework, papers or any other assignment... It's laziness in most instances, and saying "I didn't manage my time right" simply means that he procrastinated for 25k$ _a month_ until shortly before the deadline. And you are free to believe or dismiss the following: But I've been programming for several years as well in a few languages, and while I freely admit that I never worked on a game it is definitely possible to estimate the amount of time something takes if you are familiar with your code (which you should be if you have written it). So there's that. But if that one additional smiley a year for 12$ is enough for you, I suppose I can't change your mind.
DeleteI will admit, you do have a point about dishonesty on deadlines; and if he were to pull another October incident, he will quickly lose the required $12 for anything.
DeleteI will be highly disappointed if a week from now he posts something saying, "Oh well, build fucked up, you have to wait another week for the promised Christmas build.", but I most likely won't pull my patronage. (More so because I'm lazy and don't want to dick around that site.)
But if he posts something today, saying something happened, as well as maybe what went wrong, at least he's still keeping contact with his fans, and he can again take my dollar and fry it in hot oil. Sure it will not look good (and he surely doesn't get a golden star for this month), but at least there's still some shred of work being done.
I would quickly get fed up with the endless excuses (or am), I would feel taken for a ride each time. But yeah, I see what you are saying, I just could never do that myself. I sincerely hope for you then that he improves.
DeleteI hope so, too, for his sake.
DeleteSheesh, have you seen some of the arguments on these updates? :P
I keep it simple; large amounts of money tend to change people. If it were 25K a month I was paying him? Then I'd expect some miracle results, but, I'm not paying him that much. It's just a dollar. I spend one every day on soda. So I don't care what he does with it. I use my soda a day as a good horizon line of what to expect for my dollars worth. It's not a whole lot. Besides, I really should cut back on it, anyway, so it's better he's using it to make this awesome game.
And now I can go for some awesome pizza...
Yeah some justifications for the delays really just do seem like thinly-veiled lies. Enjoy your pizza, I feel like this discussion has come to an acceptable end now.
Delete*sad face* This be the problem with timezones xD
ReplyDeleteAnyway good Christmas, better be thorough and only have to do it once ;)
Cool have a great Christmas H-bomb and thank you!

ReplyDeleteMerry X-Mas! Looking forward to the new build.
I can't stay away from my computer!
ReplyDeleteMerry X-mas!! But...Can you tell me please... If i'm the only person who plays in 5.3?
ReplyDeleteNo you're not :) I've been playing 5.3 in anticipation of the new build.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteI am still playing 5.3
DeleteGreat!. wee will wait you.
ReplyDeleteGlad to I'm not the only one.
ReplyDeletei just had an idea, how about having both breeders at the same time?
ReplyDeleteI like it. Maybe have a brother/sister duo? would open up some options for funny dialogue. Especially if the sister is the perverted one.
Delete"So you just gave birth to that?"
"Yes."
"That fully grown Stallion."
"Yes."
"The one with an erection thicker than my arm."
"The Blue one on the left, yes."
"...I swear I'll never get used to this."
"Give it time, by the way his name is Junior."
"Can you take over for me? I gotta go to town and every time I head up after milking the dickwolves everything and it's grandmother starts grinding on me and it cuts into my shopping hours."
"I got that demon fire you wanted."
"Great. hey wait a second..."
"What's up?"
"Why is it in a bottle?"
"What'd you mean?"
"Well, isn't this supposed to literal DEMON FIRE, like shouldn't it be a torch or something?"
"Huh, never really thought about that, I always thought it was just a name."
"But look, *tilts glass* its full of fire, how do you manage to BOTTLE FIRE?
"Fuck it, I don't know."
"That's your answer to everything."
"You bet your ass it is."
"Remember, we're selling Junior to Roxie later today so make sure you harvest him before we go."
"Wait, isn't Junior YOUR kid?"
"Yeah, pretty sure, why?"
"...Am I really supposed to sell my nephew?"
"Only after giving him a couple handjobs first."
"..."(Grimaces)
"Oh wow, that was bad even by MY standards.
"..."(facepalming)
"..."(Shamefully avoiding eye contact)
"...(still facepalmed)Your still, going to make be do it aren't you."
"Yes."
(STILL faceplalmed)"Can we at least send him to Kala? instead of... you know..."
"Sure, just don't forget the handjobs."
(STILL STILL facepalmed)"Got it."
Hahahahahahaha
DeleteThat would be perfect indeed! :)
DeleteI'm all for more funny in my porn. :) Bring on the sarcastic relative!
DeleteI'm angry that i cannot properly thank the above anon for this comedic gold.
Deletecan't wait!!! excited for some christmas breeding!
ReplyDeleteAaaaaaaand you failed
ReplyDeletePlease, there is a thing called time zones, and h-bomb's self-imposed lenience that might just mean the release will land in the early hours of dec 26th
Delete' it'll be an early Boxing Day release'
Delete(Boxing Day is the day after Christmas)
Lots of people won't be happy if he pulls another stunt that led to the Halloween fiasco.
DeleteStill working on it, sorry it's taking so long. It'll be up today.
DeleteThanks for the update, H. Can't wait to play the new release.
Deletethanks for the update! super excited to play!
DeleteCool have a great Holiday H-bomb.
ReplyDeleteHave a great Xmas can't wait to see the next update.
ReplyDeleteJust do some MORE features and release it at dec 30-31 h-bomb
ReplyDeleteno way i want an actual game i can play. we been waiting since october.
Deletetime zone check
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see ppl want to have sick things at holy day gift..
ReplyDeleteIt's only holy if you're a Christian, which is only 32% of the world. The next Jewish holiday on Dec. 25 doesn't start until 2016. Muslim holidays don't coincide within these next 3 years.
DeleteAs for everyone else, FAP ON AND CARRY ON!!! May your year's end be filled with much stickiness and fornification!
It's nice to see ppl want to have sick things at holy day gift..
ReplyDeleteThe word holiday comes from the Old English word hāligdæg (hālig "holy" + dæg "day")
DeleteGod wrath will be on u all!!
DeleteChristmas bled my wallet dry, otherwise id love to have a Lamia species of both sexes in the game, but im still looking forward to the game as it is. Good luck guys and remember to take it easy so you wont burn yourself out. :)
ReplyDelete(http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2013/144/5/b/lamia_see__lamia_do___gotanewtoy_request_by_nct0213-d66e6s1.jpg)
I am happy you are broke.. they are enough lame creatures on the list..
DeleteI have to say I chuckled :D.
DeleteThat can't be too hard to add the one-and-only-clock to site. This way we would be sure what hour is it in h-bomb's understanding so it would be much easier to hate properly. It's horrible feeling when you wan't to hate but you are not sure if you do it right or still false start a bit.
ReplyDeleteWhen are you going to put out the 5.4 for the public plz put it out
ReplyDeletejust so everyone knows, the devs are in pacific time zone
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the update budds. The hype train is still going strong
