I'm just saying, Pixel's next game was about a hapless employee who's overworked and screwed over by a boss who's language he doesn't understand.Nicalis are terrible but honestly I've never actually seen a source to the claim that they stole the rights to Cave Story. It wouldn't surprise me at all if they screwed over Pixel, but it seems like how they screwed Pixel over has always been speculation.
Anyway, I could totally see this being Tyrone trying to weed out indie devs who won't go near his ass anymore, and look for indie projects that Nicalis could potentiallyscampublish.

I don't know about outright stole but they've been going out of their way to never credit Pixel, and they've been less than transparent about it.
Any dev approached by Nicalis should bail the fuck out.
oh man i'd be devestated if nifflas turned out to be unsavoryI misread the title as Nifflas and was saddened when all the posts were calling out their behavior. Then I realized it was just talking about Nicalis and I felt a lot better.
How about offering them about a week's pay and assuming it'll help them in a major way?I wonder in what manner he'll manage to insult and/or screw these developers.
Just in case you were thinking "maybe he's changed"
Again, wouldn't surprise me at all if they screwed over Pixel somehow. I imagine they did. Just also we don't have any specifics as to how he was screwed over, so just saying that "Nicalis stole Cave Story" could potentially be a good way to spead misinformation if it ends up being something different than that.I'm just saying, Pixel's next game was about a hapless employee who's overworked and screwed over by a boss who's language he doesn't understand.
To add context: @oxizn = Pixel.Just in case you were thinking "maybe he's changed"
2000%.Sure hope he doesn't ask them to sign anything.
Also if there's anyone to be suspicious about saying "no strings attached", it's the guy who runs fucking Nicalis.
Fuck Tyrone and this paltry move, tbh.What do you guys think about Tyrone's gesture of goodwill to the indie dev community?
I don't get it.Just in case you were thinking "maybe he's changed"
oxizn is Pixel's personal account.
Pretty much the only product that may have their involvement in I'll be buying in the foreseeable future is BOI repentance for console just because Edmund but otherwise nope Nada from meSure hope he doesn't ask them to sign anything.

Still don't get the context of any of this, I only know that Pixel has done Cave Story.
It's highly suspected that Tyrone took advantage of Pixel's limited English skills at the time the Wii version was being arranged to trick him into giving up the rights to Cave Story in its entirety. No one is confirming or denying anything but it's highly likely that NDAs are involved. The main developer of The Takeover also had a deal with Nicalis go extremely south with a racing game he had kickstarted and said that he legally couldn't talk about it.Still don't get the context of any of this, I only know that Pixel has done Cave Story.

Who seems trilled about Tyrone just rubbing salt in that wound.

Should have figured this was the case but looks like Tyrone would be paying with money that he still owes to developers.
Yup, if you click on the "show hidden tweets" button it shows a whole list of people replying with a link to the Kotaku article about him.He's blocking and hiding Tweets that call him out or make him look bad.

He made other games? Where can I find them?I'm just saying, Pixel's next game was about a hapless employee who's overworked and screwed over by a boss who's language he doesn't understand.
The one that post is talking about is Kero Blaster, it's on Steam and Switch.He made other games? Where can I find them?
I'd love to follow the guy's games.
Thanks, I'll check it out.The one that post is talking about is Kero Blaster, it's on Steam and Switch.
There's also an iOS version and two free side games, Pink Hour and Pink Heaven.
Obviously not as important as the racist shit and the developers he's fucked over, but where the hell is 1001 Spikes on Switch?
oh god, I was hyped for that at switch launch and I forgot about it
the sad part is they advertised it in the cave story physical so it looks even more outta place to not be out. Was originally dated for... Late 2018.
Also this just screams "I did nothing wrong and deny ever doing anything bad" and it's sad to see: Definitely glad I cut off ties with their PR company since I do not want to cover anything from this company again unless massive reform takes place.

By hiding some answers he is literally making a list of things why we shouldn't trust him.
Or how it seems Edward is still trying to work with Nicalis despite pledging not to when the article broke.

He's just continuing with things that were already in the works before the story came out. New projects won't be with Nicalis.This is a real big letdown. Saw this and checked Edmund's twitter and he's still got new stuff from Nicalis coming out like dice and whatnot for his card game. I went back to read the kotaku article and the quote was "I won't be moving forward with Nicalis when it comes to the port of The Legend of Bum-bo or any console versions of Mewgenics," so... I guess that leaves the door open to working with them on anything else which is just disappointing.
Or he'll try to make publishing deals with the people who he gives the "free" money to. They'll trust him/feel somewhat obliged to agree to it because he gave them free money before then he'll pull his usual ghosting act and not pay them.He's doing this as a trial balloon to do some head hunting.
You're giving up details about your game in exchange for a chance to win that money.
