I saw him on a recommended stream on twitch, decided to pop in, said " st0p k!lling gam3s" and not only was i banned within seconds, I received multiple messages from people saying how pathetic I was and to grow up.

Of course, they still had whispers from strangers turned off. Shit is so cringe.

Man the ARG community must be starving with the state of the game. How can they solve something not even fully released yet

13 hours ago
Best-Idiot

I watched Pirate a while ago before any of this drama happened for like a month-ish and someone did ask him why he stored his entire game state in one giant array, and he did say something along the lines of, "I want my game to have secrets that are only solvable if you modify the game state". Is that what ARG means?

That said, as a programmer, I'm still not a fan of this coding style. I think you can store the game state in a much more convenient structure and that would only make it more difficult and fun to derive the secret branches. Unless he plans to release the game code and actually wants to make it purposely confusing for himself and others in order to hide those secrets. That wouldn't matter if you compile the game and don't reveal the game's code. For the record, I'm not a game dev or a specialist on secrets.

11 hours ago
Minute-River-323

"I want my game to have secrets that are only solvable if you modify the game state". Is that what ARG means?

Yes and no.. having secrets in the game would not really qualify as an ARG on it's own as an ARG are essentially puzzles, all that require some form of guidance or riddle.

Hooking a game state and changing variables are typically not involved in an ARG.... and claiming he needs to have all of this in one giant array to even do this is an absolute rubbish excuse.

The ARG he is referring to has also already been solved for several years.. So unless he has planned another ARG over finishing the game he has promised to his backers and buyers then i really don't see how it is relevant.

The ARG in question also did not require you to do process injection to fiddle with the gamestate... if he wants "secrets in the game" that would be one excuse, but saying it's because of the ARG is bs.

Overview and walkthrough can be found here: ARG:Overview | Heartbound Wiki | Fandom

He has changed his story on why he uses giant arrays several times now.. it has gone from "make it easier for the community to mod" to every other excuse that has been presented so far to "it doesn't matter".

6 hours ago
Best-Idiot

Basically you're saying that the current ARG doesn't require global array game state, it's not clear that there will be additional ARG, and even if there was more, there's no reason to assume it would require the global array game state. Has every puzzle implemented in the game already been discovered? Has none of it required changing game state?

Here I found a potential counter example from the overview you linked:

https://heartbound.fandom.com/wiki/ARG:Second_Breakfast

On Animus, The Artifact (the book you carry through the game) can be found there at the time room, which is a hidden location and can only be accessed by editing the save file

Basically it looks to me like the save, which contains the current game state array, including the information such as the room the player is in, his coordinates, and other things, etc, have to be modified in order for players to discover some puzzle.

So it does look like some of it was used for ARG, though, as I said, I'm not an expert so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Personally as I already said, I think the fact that he's using a flat array for all of this does make it easier for people to try different branches and discover secrets. That said, I'm not convinced you have to make it easier for people to discover your secrets. Alternatively, it's possible, at least in normal programming languages, to make your own code much more readable if you really want to preserve the flat array structure. For example, instead of writing

array[245] = 42;

You can write

const THE_TRUTH = 245;
const THE_ANSWER_TO_EVERYTHING = 42;
array[THE_TRUTH] = THE_ANSWER_TO_EVERYTHING;

This way, later in the code you can use these variables / constants if you ever decide to change them:

if (array[THE_TRUTH] == THE_ANSWER_TO_EVERYTHING)
  doSomething();

I don't know if that's possible in game maker language, but I'd be surprised if it wasn't.

MarioDesigns

Even if it’s for an ARG it’s an absurd way to go about it.

And even then, with the same approach he has he could just set up an enum (I checked documentation, GameMaker natively supports it) and then it would be giving actual understanding to what the array does.

It’s not difficult, other than needing to write 400 lines of names for what each array corresponds to, sunk cost and whatever.

Absolutely not. Its a funny excuse but i think he is referring to Undertale and AnimalWell

Undertale was "reverse engineered" (they looked at the txt files) to see stuff and discovered a bunch of things.

More recently, AnimalWell has a bunch of hidden stuff that the community spent time figuring out and rallied round and Thor knows this too well because when they figured stuff out Thor magically worked it out right after.

True in gamemaker is a constant that equals 1 (read that in the comments)

But yeah, there is levels of how much that line alone talks about his programming expertise.

First off even someone with 1 year experience would write "if true" without the equals, maybe gamemaker doesnt allow it but i doubt it, this point is not that important because...

Second off... The whole if is irrelevant, if you want something to always run and the boolean is not a flag that changes depending on the situation just straight up code without writing that conditional.

I don't think any programmer that has seen his code watches Jason for his coding expertise, he is a qa with no professional dev experience.

I'm very not good at coding. I make random stupid programs for my own use only, so they're full of things like if/else trees and really fucking terrible coding. My motto is "if it compiles and works, it works!" (edge cases be damned). I'm going to put an if true == true return true function in my next program for funsies and then call on it every time I need true.

If this was coming from a junior how just came from school I would just tap them on the shoulder and nicely tell that don't do this and tell them why. If the guy how did this was telling they are a veteran and teaching others to code. I would go to my boss and get them fired

I don’t know anything about coding but why did he add the β€œ== true”? Wouldn’t it just be β€œif true”? Basic logic would tell me that β€œtrue” can never be false so I don’t understand why the rest would be needed

Like I said I don’t know shit so I’m curiousΒ

Yes, it's not needed at all and considered bad practice, but he does it to make it a little more readable because is variable names are atrocious. They should be named something like is_question instead of his actual variable called Β΄question_trueso you could haveif (is_question)` which is way more readable.

Wait, does he actually have an

if true == true

In this code? If so, could you send the screenshot to me? I need to add it to my collection.

You can tell he's never done coding for a team... Any person that has working in a team has had their code criticized endlessly and learned to handle that. Pipi Software can't handle any kind of negative feedback he just goes full defense mode tries to discredit every argument or person.

It actually irks me to no end.

It’s so incredibly glaringly obvious to everybody working in the field because he’s a walking bundle of engineering red flags. Imagine if somebody reacted like that in code review on a dev team. They’d be immediately having a serious chat with the lead/dev manager and out of the company if they didn’t change.

And the shit he’s defending are just mind bogglingly surface level obviously bad coding practices. He’s so inexperienced he doesn’t even have the capacity to understand WHY it’s obvious he has very little skill.

I'm really not trying to defend him here but this absolutely isn't a code review in his development team that usually has some degree of established trust, this is someone who he doesn't know picking apart his code unprompted, in public, pretty much with the single goal of finding issues with it. I don't blame him for not being receptive to it.

To be clear, I do blame him for pretending to be an expert in so many fields that he is not an expert in and absolutely think that should be exposed.

True, but I don’t think he’s earned any charitable framing.

He continually lies and misrepresents, from his experience to his resume. I’m not going to give him any benefit of the doubt I would give others because of the way he represents himself as an expert.

If somebody purports to be an expert and is upset their code is public and is getting soundly roasted due to its incoherence, you aren’t an expert. I know at least I wouldn’t be too upset in the same position because I’ve developed for a decade and know the comments I would get would be less β€œyou don’t know how to program” and more β€œYou could improve your architecture/API usage/code coherence by doing xβ€œ. I think that would be the case for most software engineers

so, he purposely made his game pretty hard to develop and debug for an ARG that probably no one cares? Honestly, this is one of the worst excuses for a bad code I've ever seen in my 10 years of experience as software engineer. I mean, now it makes sense why he takes so long to finish the game, everytime he opens the code it requires 90% of the time to understand what he was working before.

Can we talk about how utterly empty your life would have to be for you to be a member of the "ARG Community" for Pirate's perpetual early access abandoned gamemaker game?

How absolutely cult brained would you have to be to want to pull apart the 'deep hidden clues and meanings' of a checks notes ...game about a boy who loves his dog made by a narcissist furry who recently had his furry erotic roleplay logs leaked where he and another man pretended to be two canines doing the deed.

ARG Community I think I've figured out the secret meaning of the game, following the online clues I've deducted that Pirate is inappropriately interested in animals, mystery solved!

After reviewing his code, it's evident that his experience with programming is extremely limited. Likely no more than watching a short introductory tutorial. His understanding of core concepts appears to be well below that of a first-semester university student.

So he changed his reasoning from not using Boolean from it’s not a compatible coding technique to saying he’s doing it on purpose to help his coder community practice finding bugs.
