Autumn Games is just now giving funds for future skullgirls development, after years spent by Mike Z trying to keep the game alive with constant updates and changes for free. Also the main creator behind Skullgirls was backstabbed by the same faggots outing Mike, so the lore could be SonicFox sealing the skullheart by anal voring it or whatever they want because Alex Ahad wasn’t even allowed to conclude the story via graphic novel on the side.
>Also the main creator behind Skullgirls was backstabbed by the same faggots outing Mike Mike owns the company. Don't act like he had no hand in what happened to Alex.

we may have lost kinu being apart of skullgirls. if mike leaves we may get kinu back. so this still sucks for everyone guess.
>bunch of hacks who can’t handle business keep fucking up Outside of the publisher fuck ups, these guys weren’t all that good outside of art, animation of tech autism. Now you’ve lost one out of the three, and you can’t cope by saying >x wasn’t actually all that good
>Autumn Games is just now giving funds for future skullgirls development they were always willing to do this for more content but they weren't and still aren't willing to pay up for the original work that went into the base game. whatever the deal was between autumn and the dev team back then was likely a virble contract with no papers involved.

ONE GAME
AND I DON'T KNOW WHY
LOST THE RIGHTS TO IT WITH NO CHANCE TO BUY
KEEP IN MIND THAT I DESIGNED THIS ENGINE
FOR A GAME I DON'T OWN
AND THAT'S ALL I KNOW
IN FIGHTAN, CORE VALUES ARE KEY
WATCH EVO GET CANCELLED WITH NO TOURNEY
LOSE MY WORKERS AT THE END OF THE YEAR
NO ANNIE TO RELEASE
IT'S SO UNFAIR
DIDN'T LOOK OUT BELOW
THROW MY DMS RIGHT OUT THE WINDOW
TRYING TO HOLD ON BUT I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW
WASTED IT ALL JUST TO FLIRT ON TWITTER
SPENT ALL MY TIME CODING
AND EVEN THOUGH I TRIED, IT ALL FELL APART
THIS ONE NPC, IT'S REMINDING ME, OF A MEMORY, OF A TIME WHEN
there all backstabbers, i wouldn't want to work with anyone of them, look how eagerly they flock to twitter to post internal business. all those resignations was just "look at me! im a good boy or girl!, reward me for never ever making a mistake!"
Kevin Stewart
this is such a dumb story. mike is clearly an unprofessional autist judging from all the things i've seen but he doesn't deserve this. they were trying to oust him but it backfired. these shitters clearly don't have ANYTHING on him that is actually damning enough to justify his ousting.
Daniel Bennett
it would have made it to tiwtter in some way or form since mike wouldn't be able to work on indiv and ag by himself.
Jaxon Wright
funny how they still use his engine though huh?
Jacob Anderson
6/10 It’s good and creative but half of the stuff doesn’t rhyme. Fix that and it’s a 10/10
John Richardson
Ah yes, the good old, honest folk from Autumn games. What could go wrong?
Henry Edwards
>one They lost 2/3. All that's left is Mike, and his engine is shit by modern standards.
Aiden Moore
>but he doesn't deserve this. He absolutely deserves this for agreeing to a temporary custody situation only to try and leverage it.
Kayden King
What do you want them to do, start development of the entire game over from scratch?
Zachary King
if your gonna cut ties, cut ties, not half measures. they obviously not just stating they cant work with Mike z anymore there full blown trying to make sure he never works with anyone.
i get the feeling if someone hired mike they would whine and complain
Jason Garcia
>if your gonna cut ties, cut ties, not half measures. >"If you fire someone or stop working with them on a project, you should delete all their work!" That's not how game dev works you retard. Christ, look at games like FFXIV and XV. They lost major figures and still had to make it work with what was left over. Nobody with any goddamn business sense would go "Let's spend millions of dollars to completely remake this game from scratch because this guy isn't involved anymore."
Eli Cox
ah thanks for proving my point, when it comes to money, moral high ground means nothing.
Levi Ross
Nah that was rather based of him to do
Parker Garcia
The game was made on an indian burial ground is the only explanation I can think of.
Gavin Scott
>They should do this! >They would be retarded to do that. >Thanks for proving my point! Go to bed Mike. You cost the company a shitload of money between bad PR and bottlenecking development.
Henry Morgan
all Mike is going to do is wait for this all to blow over, find some other company to fund LZ and then hire new employees. If anything, he knows he has to be more aware of his actions now because anyone could be looking to accuse him now. All the games art files are still there so it would just take some competent artists to animate it. Note how these are all artists that left, not the programmers.
Connor Myers
Lmao all that text and nothing, Mike Z is here to stay and there is nothing you can do about it, faggots!
Chase Perez
programmers aren't that big of a deal gameplay wise if the pony devs can use his engine. what is a big deal is mike not designing the gameplay or balancing the game any more and kinu not being the lead animator any more. they really shouldn't have stated that they'd never work with mike again because they just might need to in the future.
Nathan Foster
What the fuck is all of this even about? I've not seen anything that's worth getting this fucking worked up about.
Skullgirls would be nothing without Mike and Alex, why is everyone so fucking retarded in this situation?
Why is everyone acting like they're such brave victims, I ain't seen shit.
Michael Wood
>Also the main creator behind Skullgirls was backstabbed by the same faggots outing Mike Yeah this is bullshit. Imagine being fired from the studio that made your game you’ve dreamed of making since high school and being silent about it than 2 years later some faggot snake decides to call you out too, cause’ shitting on Mike Z wasn’t enough
Colton Foster
This.
Why is this thread a pity party for the YandereDev of fighting games?
MikeZ ran his own company into the ground
Sebastian Barnes
>find some other company to fund LZ and then hire new employees. Except Mike isn't the guy who handled that shit in the first place and he has two complete failures to recoup costs under his company's belt along with multiple PR nightmares and a history of being an abusive employer. He's kind of fucked.
Robert Thompson
I gave up Skullgirls when I found out they fired Alex Ahad, the guy who literally created all the characters and the setting that they were profiting off of
It really explained why Indivisble’s characters and story were total ass
Oliver Lopez
They want to twist the narrative because OH MY GOD WOMEN AND LIBERALS BASED MIKE Z. Doesn't matter that Mike is a fucking faggot and pulled some near-parody Jew shit on them. Christ, if you watched even one of his livestreams where he works on "development" you could see exactly why he's a problem: he's easily distracted and his engine is inefficient as fuck. You shouldn't be taking already finished art assets and then spending half an hour to figure out the timing for one animation.
Christopher Stewart
nappy, the one who is the dev for the pony game said he had to really larn how the programmed worked and remember he's already working off mikes work. not from scratch. the netplay upgrade they got was after mike made it and then gave it out.
Easton Parker
>trusting a jew When will they learn
Ryan Hill
>Autumn Games owns the IP Do they own the Engine, though? If they don't, then the series is about to go tits up.
You're stupid as all hell. Companies routinely have to spend excessive amounts of money to hire people to try and maintain pre-existing code bases. The office I work at maintains software from places that used to handle company-wide taxes, from banks, and from call centers. A certain popular call center in central US doubled down on shitty software they paid a bunch of Indians to make, and spends hundreds of thousands of dollars trying to fix it every year. The sheet system the tax place uses is written in fucking cobal, and you better believe they pay top dollar to keep it running in 2020. I won't even get into the shit banking software requires to function at a basic level.
Not having the original engine developers around, if they still use it, will >factually< be a huge obstacle they have to overcome. Even Konami threw away the Fox Engine shortly after losing the developers, and IMMEDIATELY picked up Unreal Engine, just so they could find experienced programmers.
