Bob's Game was developed alone by Robert Pelloni. The project took over five years and consumed around the area of 15,000 hours. Bob has admitted defeat after only thirty days.
Josh Griffiths writes: "We’ve written about Bob’s Game in the past, an infamous “joke” Kickstarter campaign that raised over $10,409. Fully funded in May 2014, it's success presumably horrified its creator, Bob. That would probably explain why he vanished without a trace for two years."
It’s always admirable seeing the underdog stick it to the man, especially in a generation that’s so homogenized with the same games being remade and remastered every year. The video game industry needs more creativity and the indie scene is rea...
Stephanie Smith writes: "2 years ago a Kickstarter for a puzzle-RPG called Bob's Game appeared. It managed to raise over $10,000 toward its development and was scheduled expected to be delivered at the end of last year. Well, I doubt it was expected, the Kickstarter was only updated once during the campaign, and since the Kickstarter itself didn't look too promising I would have assumed that he just ran off with the money."
Wasn't this the guy who screamed for years about Reggie trying to not support indie devs by not paying for his game?
In the update he basically describes himself as homeless and using the cash he got from backers to try and get his life on track.
This is just plain weird.....
"The project allegedly took over five years and consumed around the area of 15,000 hours."
Fixed.
Poor Bob thought acting like a 10 year old and locking himself in a room would warrant the respect and credibility Nintendo would be willing to give a developer.
Protip: If you want to make a game, make sure you have the desired SDK before starting.
I'm scared.....
They should just give him a kit. It's not like they're giving him some kind of super secret info/tools, since the DS is already hacked enough for anyone to do what they please with it. He just wants his code to be official. Sure, the way he's going about it now (especially the threats) may not be the best approach, but after that much work he's probably lost a bit of his sanity. Now he's probably building a bomb to wipe the NOA headquarters off the map lol.
he's just a troll
