Very fair. I've just seen a lot of people fall into the sunk cost fallacy in my personal and professional life. But it sounds like you have the right attitude and are doing it for good reasons, as well as limiting your involvement for your personal sanity, so rock on.

Im not working on this demo for Liam, I'm working on this because I want people to see and appreciate at least a little bit of the years worth of work that we have all put in this project, even if its a broken mess.

I spent most of my loving twenties drawing sprites for this, I'm not gonna just set fire to that out of loving spite for one guy who has been mismanaging it.

I know that he like, owns the project and the company or whatever, but that means gently caress all since this broken, incomplete mess is obviously never going to be put on sale for actual money.

We want a demo out on friday. Might take a bit longer. Its gonna just be a public demo available for everybody, not just to backers. When thats out, Im not touching this garbage anymore, unless a goddamn miracle happens and he gets it all actually back on track, and I'm not holding my breath.
I love you, Frankie. Thank you so much. God bless and godspeed. Looking forward to friday.

I'm sure the few guys saying "no don't work on it just go back to your personal thing" think they're being all noble but trust me, you're not helping anything

pretty sure we're just saying "don't go back to it if doing so is going to just reopen old wounds and anxieties"

If anyone wants to support Frankie for all his work now's a wonderful time via following or subscribing on twitch (but also buy his game when it's out). If you have twitch prime you can even "subscribe" to the stream for free (see the sub button next to the follow button upper right above screen)

Current B2 frankie dev stream status:

Creating a new empty project with 1sec compile times and working debug mode, so we can create and test a log file logger script, to paste into B2, so that we can have replace the GMS default debug messages since B2 debug mode crashes the game and show_debug_message does not trigger in non-debug mode.

To hold over until Demo Day, found some of my old stuff in the old Cool Ideas landfill from way back in 2013 when it was the Ideas Man Fiesta. Little bit of insight on what kind of garbage everyone brought to the table.

----- Disco Moroder

Wrote a quest for getting a Disco Zauber. You would meet Disco Moroder and inspire him to spark a second wave of Disco using tunes you heard from a connecting 56K modem.

----- "A Baller I Was Meant To Be"

An idea for the at that point undefined b-ball minigame, later TTX, was your b-ball team at some point would start singing a ripoff of the "A Pirate I Was Meant To Be" song from Monkey Island 3.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9bXjttMxKY

Same thing, you would need to find the right answer that they can't rhyme on to shut them up. We would skip recording actual lyrics, but still time the music.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1HDSyxD71Q3DajrDYHMmZ3AgrGWkwO5wi
The orignal song ends when when they can't rhyme on Orange, but here they would use the half-rhyme Lozenge and keep going.

Even though Liam is at fault I feel sorry for him because his ultimate problem is just taking "the promise has been made" too seriously. I've known him for a while and the stuff some people see as being manipulative I see as being diplomatic, which he does naturally. Well maybe manipulative and diplomatic are the same thing from different perspectives, I don't know. But he never intended to gently caress anybody over. He's just not good at management. Or at least this specific type of management. He still has time to do the right thing and salvage his reputation as well as the game. Hope he does.

Anyway, really great work from Frankie today. That was like watching and rooting for someone in a movie
