I've read all your comments, and to put it succinctly, you have presented yourself as a delusional conman who is psychologically incapable of taking responsibility for his own failures.

You must be absolutely miserable.

FYI, edited my questions.

nope, thanks though!

I did research obviously, can't say I consulted anyone with a degree though. That second thing sounds awesome though! I believe firmly in the moral and ethical value of video games.

You spam your shit everywhere to get people to wishlist it... why should I give you any more attention than the 55 seconds I scrolled through your post history?

None of the story is procedural- I have a lot of respect for things like the Nemesis system in shadow of war, but I didn't think it was the right move for Yuma Will Burn. Yuma Will Burn has what I like to call mechanically influenced storytelling. In The Walking Dead game for instance, that game has some stellar moral quandaries to puzzle through, despite that though there's a sense of detachment from Lee's do-or-die circumstances. Even if NPC death is totally on the table, the audience understands that Lee is going to be fine and the story will continue despite their choices. The intended permadeath experience of Yuma Will Burn is to disempower the player in moral choice moments to give their decisions greater drama and depth.

Did you consult any philosophers on this project?

Do you have any interest in working with academics in an effort to teach ethics via the video game avenue?

EDIT: when do you expect to be done with the game?

Have you had any video game testors?

What's been your previous experience in video game development?

Yuma, AZ could use more Opium. It's good on crucifixion levels, though--any more would just be too much.

Do you really think your game is even tangentially related to half the gaming subreddits you post about it on?

I get that you're trying to market it all on your own, but I've seen you post about your game in so many different random subs that I genuinely have no idea what you game could even be.

The name Yuma was chosen because Yuma is the hottest city in the continental US- Fire is a motif used throughout the game. Sadly I don't think Yuma Arizona has quite the same density of crucifixions and opium that I needed for the game. Yuma Will Burn is set underground, but the surface world is somewhere in Mongolia or Russia.

How much of the “stories” or decisions are procedurally generated if at all?

Good question! I've got to give a lot of credit to the folks at Ice Pick Lodge who made Pathologic. Pathologic is a relatively obscure series, but for my money it's one of video game's most evocative experiences. It's a super compelling moral roleplaying experience. Another game that had a lot of influence was Undertale (setting and more moral roleplaying elements). Also, there's a lot taken from the Italian Epic of Dante's Inferno (and a little from the two other books). More broadly the game is influenced by absurdist philosophy and Emersonian individualism in its thematic goals.

Is this based off Yuma, AZ ?

How did you come up with this idea?

Bart, is it true that you labeled some of your cookies as gluten-free when in fact they were not safe for celiacs to eat, then made a website specifically to impugn the character of the person who politely called you out on it?

Evidence: he said it

You don't understand. He removed the claim but at the time it was totally true.

Don't worry though, because he dropped the claim when it was.... Well when it was still true... Or something.

Major /s in case anyone is confused.

Your employees have nothing to do with it. I'm not suggesting you donate all of your money to a food bank and live in a hovel. I'm saying it's a basically decent thing to do to voluntary tithe a small but nonzero portion of your ongoing income. I think virtually anybody with any steady income is financially capable to pledge to donate 5-10%. Maybe I should take this to mean that you don't have income and/or are in debt. If so, I am sorry to hear that. However, if you have no income (or that income is otherwise not disposable), you don't have to donate anything and can still take the pledge!

Edit: I received some feedback that this is too harsh. I’m sorry, Mr. Greenhut, it’s not appropriate of me to go to so far into questioning your financial situation. I struck through some portions that are not fair/unambiguously true.
