Mike Maulbeck is probably considered the chris chan of game designers for the gaben death threat.


This has humorously fucked over the entire dev team by causing the game to get pulled

he had left team briefly, but probably returned because ea may not even want him.

dev petition: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/official-petition-to-get-paranautical-activity (note the lack of updates)
There was another thread in the general board that mentioned him getting his game pulled off. The reason he sent a death threat was due to his game not getting some status update from (iirc) early access to full game. Those that posted in the thread mentioned that his own game was bad and his behavior was also unprofessional since he is sending a death threat to a company that was hosting his game within their store.

Since this thread is open I might as well post this hilarious Twitter feed screencap since I haven't posted this yet on the Games subforum

Not sure if he is a lolcow exactly. Pretty stupid though. "FPS roguelike" doesn't even make sense.

They're shockingly racist!

Mike is just an incredibly internet-aggressive person. I've been following his twitter since early alpha, and it was almost entirely shitfits about people reviewing his game negatively, or pointing out that he had canceled key features, or asking him why he threw so many shitfits. It was like he was mini Tom Preston, just a lot less funny.

Negative reviews made him throw a fit along with people asking questions about his game? If more information about his character is divulged then he could actually show his potential as a lol-cow. Since lizardlolilover mentioned that his stunt on Twitter got the dev team pulled, one can only wonder what his own co-workers have to say about him.

I dunno, the idea makes sense to me if you passed me the name. The upcoming "IlluminASCII" game's like that too. First-person perspective, random level and enemy generations, leveling and upgrading, vicious difficulty and when you die, you start all over again with a new character and new variables. Heavy Bullets is another one.

I guess I'm just not used to a roguelike being anything besides turn based.

Christ, what a petulant jackass. I bet the other devs were already irritated with him before this outburst. They can't be anything other than livid with him now. Say what you will about Phil Poisson, at least he wasn't so dumb as to get his game taken off of Steam.

His biggest fight was with someone named "A Spooky Ghost" (I think), who kept starting threads on the Steam forums when it was announced that multiplayer was no longer a planned feature. Most people who bought the game (including myself) bought it because a multiplayer, one-life FPS sounded really cool. Maulbeck was constantly mocking Spooky on twitter without ever addressing his concerns. He wrote an enormous wall of text on the blog about how he had worked 12 hours a day for 6 months to make the game and anyone who thought cancelling a key feature was a cop-out was just a terrible person.

It's all wiped now. They're working on a new game and I expect exactly the same thing will happen again if they don't put a gag-order on Mike's social media.
