I got a dm about this dude and his behavior. And apparently he has been doing this for years and many people have been saying the same thing about him. If all the accusations are true, It shows how much of a piece of s**t people can be.

@CodeRed_dev Yeah ive been keeping a close eye on this account for over 6 months now. Its the same shit, same slop, and I dont even think he knows a lick of code I think he just rips assets and reuses them for multiple games that all look the same and are fucking awful.

@CodeRed_dev Woah didnt know this👀

@CodeRed_dev I've said it, I've seen his posts multiple times years ago on Reddit, with more or less the same pictures, the same videos. I mean come on it's quite obvious he's lying or at the very least a very badly organized person, I hate to say it but there's nothing good to expect here.

@CodeRed_dev Dude, their replies were so sus and pretend, I was genuinely confused on ppl commenting “bro has no enemies” when they were clearly just victimizing themselves and plugging-in “I’m sad and depressed” wherever was possible. It’s good that you brought this up!

@CodeRed_dev At first i pitied the guy for getting dogged on for just having a creatively bankrupt game Like that alone did not deserve the walls of hate he got But jesus the more i look into him the more deserved it seems

@CodeRed_dev It’s like a rabbit hole that doesn’t end, keep hearing about this guy

@CodeRed_dev Something’s going on here, and I don’t believe you. It’s really weird… You’re taking advantage of someone who’s simply posting their game, looking for exposure and support, yet you have your own game in your bio, so you’re just hanging onto the clout for your own benefit.

@CodeRed_dev Tu tampoco eres mejor, te burlas y desprecias trabajo ajeno, hace mucho tambien colocabas tweets burlándote de técnicas utilizadas por otros devs, tienes que enfocarte en ti y en tu proyecto. Deja de buscar clicks por responder polemicamente tweets virales. Enfocate en tu juego🤍

@CodeRed_dev He’s been reposting ads for the same few half-finished Steam games for years now, so I’m not really surprised people noticed

@CodeRed_dev He's been pulling the "my mother died recently" card for a while, been pretty suspicious of him over that for some time x.com/JAMESDEV535/st…

@CodeRed_dev holy shit this is somber blevins all over again @roxassu

@CodeRed_dev Please stop spreading this hatred. 2 years is completely reasonable to still feel like you "just" lost someone And I looked through his 2023-2024 posts. It seems like the only things he complained about were publishers trying to take the IP, and big upfront costs

@CodeRed_dev Him no stop using his “ mothers passing “ was a huge red flag 🚩 telling people his mothers life depended on the games success but since no one supported it she died is some sick manipulation tactic to use on others . Mind you the name is just a couple of scenes and nothing else

@CodeRed_dev I bought his terrible game because of the mother story but had to block him after months of just died thing.

@CodeRed_dev The saga continues.

@CodeRed_dev wow! that's pretty low!

@CodeRed_dev damn now i look stupid for defending this guy

@CodeRed_dev To the OP in your DMs: thanks for trying to help a fellow gamedev with advice, please keep doing that, don't stop because of this asshole! Not implying you were planning to stop, just showing appreciation for anyone helping others for no other reason than "just cause"

@CodeRed_dev Man, I saw him bandying about that line on Reddit too. I really do support small independent developers, but this is terrible.

@CodeRed_dev Ask for the screenshots of him claiming his mom "just died" over the years.

Here’s the thing. If even I use and have used AI for concepts and down the line I end up paying for real artists. They get paid in a form of compensation even if I’m broke. This doubles knowing my right eye completely quit on me and my thought process has been shot. Making my disability worse. I’m sure if my editor and now artist would be dragged through the mud like this? He too would be just as outspoken. This is why I have people sign contracts and NDAs. Keeps the trust and transparency of those involved. I could never see myself starting a Kickstarter Campaign either if it meant those around me would struggle or be disrespected. You always give back even if it means gifting them Steam Games 🤷‍♀️ My two cents anyway 🐌

@CodeRed_dev Every time I used to see him- it was only about his mother’s death. He always was posting odd engagement posts always centered around feeling bad for him and we needed to buy the game. Many wild claims I’ve seen from this guy over the years.

@CodeRed_dev Would I call this the worst I've ever seen? No, but to be fair, I don't even know what to label as "the worst I've ever seen." That doesn't stop this from being very shitty behavior though.

@CodeRed_dev Dont you know youre also being suspicious because you are also a gamedev twitter but go to a length to be a gimmick account instead

@CodeRed_dev Someone using AI is one thing, people might not have the resources to do everything and time is a valuable asset but lying and on top of that using your deceased mother as an excuse to be an asshole is another level of stupidity and I can't support that

@CodeRed_dev I guess that's why ppl do not want support kickstarter indies, because ppl like them?
