Jim, might I recommend tearing apart the developer behind East District 46? Word has it they've been squandering their crowdfunding, and deleting negative feedback, not to mention busting people's chops over the stupidest shit. This sort of scenario is straight up your alley. Also, another asset flip hit Greenlight as well! No1left, it's called. I bet one look, you can tell the asset pack they've used for it.
+Brandon MacLeod steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=514174037 It's gotten pretty ridiculous, the dev even squabbled at somebody who typed "What the fuck is this shit" with "Lodged report to Steam for your abusive word. Behave yourself." This is what we're dealing with, people.
+Da' Melon Man, I just loked at their indiegogo page thru the greenlight one. They made their goal of $1,200 EXACTLY, from 5 people over 3 days. And this was all in HUGE lumps(160-400$ each), for what appears to be a Newgrounds-level anime game (maybe?). Since then 3 pledges, 2 from the same person, totaling $20. Of the 5 non-anonymous contributors, only one has verified their account? This looks weirdly like a roundabout way to make them appear successful, a step beyond the kickstarter guys who make the first pledge themselves.
Once upon a time, in a far away land, people who created video games with limited knowledge or access to large budgets, or high tech, they created games that fit within the limited scope and bounds of their ability and technical/financial surroundings. Today...these people dream large dreams, don't bother honing their craft, don't bother spending years learning, don't bother creating a budget, don't bother actually having common sense and don't bother with fuck all that has to do with game design and development. Because you know...who cares if this is the first thing you've ever made! It'll be on Steam! And Steam is cool!
+Eric Durant The worst part is they had the start of what could of been a "decent" idea. The concept of piloting a plane such as a B-52 and completing bombing runs could of been interesting...if they actually thought it through. You could give the player set buildings to destroy (make the visually noticeable) give the player a large city and reward them for destroying the targets and punish them for causing harm to civilians. Of course this idea is also basic but building upon it you could get a nice game you could probably sell for $2.99. Instead they just took the model of any old aircraft, made it poop bombs in an empty landscape with two to three buildings at a time. Aka being lazy and just rushing something out the door.
A game like this *requires* highly elaborate and graphically impressive destruction if it wants to be worth it in this day and age. You play these kinds of games for the carnage.
Jim sterling is truly a person of high intellect and great maturity who would be above any crude humor that might absorb any lesser man... So what are you? His doppleganger? ... OH SHIT DORITOSNATTI CONFIRMED, THE CONSPIRACY IS REAL!
+Maya Amano this is still a lesser game than the stuff you'd comonly find on an atari 2600. just because some lazy 15yo put their mspaint projects on greenlight doesn't make stuff like this any better, it just makes it "not the worst", wich shouldn't be what you're aiming for as a game developper.
+Maya Amano yeah but... pretty much everything in it's stock. The camera, the assets, the sound effects, everything. Even if it's not slaughtering grounds bad that's mostly because it's (I can't believe I'm saying it) less ambitious, it's little more than a c-students highschool project. The plane moves from point a to b on a rail, there's a button that lets you drop bombs and you can shift left and right in spastic little jumps, that's pretty much it. There's not even a bomb sight. Anybody with basic knowledge of how unity works could do this in a day or two. Hell I could probably make essentially the same thing in flash and do more with it.
I like how there's an enemy deepwater fleet in the shallows just off the coast, obviously stuck, and the bomber is hitting empty huts when such rich targets are literally just sitting there.
+Dr Shaym it has an unrealistic idea of what planes should look like. i dont know much about planes, but it did seem like the wrong model for a bombing plane.
Anyone else notice that this is a Digital Homicide game? Also, I'm not an expert on bombing aircraft, but that doesn't look like a bomber to me, more like an ordinary passenger plane colored black
Has anyone else noticed that the bombs seem to land directly under the spot that they were pooped out from? I'm pretty sure most bombs are dropped instead of being fired out the back of the plane like these apparently are. If the bombs fell in an ark like they should it would have given the game some element of challenge as opposed to the zero challenge it currently has. Just something to keep in mind indie developer.
+RedWolf Productions It is a B-52 stratofortress. Which does, indeed, look suspiciously like a passenger jet at first glance, because it's not like there are THAT many different ways to build a friggin' huge plane.
surely if the targets are still on screen bomb when hit by the bombs, the stream of poop shouldn't be disappearing off the bottom of the screen? It's as if the plane is actively firing the bombs backwards. Or, if you prefer, expolisively shitting itself
Just download DCS world for free guys and thank me later. Eagle Dynamics (the creators) have regular sales for the add on aircraft also, all of which are worth their full asking price given the insane amount of accuracy and detail they contain...
I'd just like to point out that you can buy Raptor: Call of the Shadows on Steam for five bucks. That game is from 1994, and looks so much better than this as to be almost laughable. Also, Raptor is fun.
I'm convinced these people who post these games fully know they are putting up shit, and either just want to try to get what little money they can, or B just want their shit to be covered by Jim. They can't care about these games anymore than you care about what that plane drops in the toilet.
wait The Mac..... wasn't that the shit lord that was stealing all those mods as his own and telling people that he made them when steam was doing that hole modding fiasco?
Well, it isn't the worst game with Heavy Fire in the name. Heavy Fire: Afghanistan still wins that prize. And is it just me, or does that look like a passenger jet and not a military bomber?

I can guess it already without needing to search for it :|

+Da' Melon
Can you give me a link to it because I cannot find that game.

"Plane arse"?! JIM STERLING, you missed an opportunity for a pun. I'm ashamed of you. "Planus"! It was in plane sight and you missed it. :(
+Isak Larsson I think it flew right over his head, dude.
RJswanee, DAMMIT! I missed that one too! :D
+Isak Larsson I came down here to say the same thing.
+Isak Larsson
you also missed
i think this game bombed its trailer or the potential for this gaming is sky high but hey you're still wright.
Also came here to say the same thing.
Oh Jim, had you known back then who the devs behind this really were...
Something something jetfuel yada yada steel beams.
+budinski420 Plane poo cant smear steel beams!
Bush did number 2

Solid copy, Alpha 5. I've got tangos in sight, gonna drop the "load".
pbbttt!
"Plain Pooping Simulator 2015"
I'd buy it
Philly Cheese I feel retarded now
+HoddTodd your mistake does make sense though. It is just a plain, old pooping simulator!
A game like this *requires* highly elaborate and graphically impressive destruction if it wants to be worth it in this day and age. You play these kinds of games for the carnage.
I swear, apart from it being a jet, this looks exactly like the old B-17 Bomber game on the Intellivision.
God I'm old.
Err, should that be "plane" instead of "plan" in the description?
+EnclaveOfObsidian It should. And now it is!
+EnclaveOfObsidian Should it say "I was already planeing to do this"?
+Jim Sterling Jolly good.
You dare question our lord and savior Jim Fucking Sterling! Son
+Jim Sterling Jim you slick fuck
Jim sterling is truly a person of high intellect and great maturity who would be above any crude humor that might absorb any lesser man... So what are you? His doppleganger?
... OH SHIT DORITOSNATTI CONFIRMED, THE CONSPIRACY IS REAL!
i don't understand how we're able to see the explosions the way the bombs are falling out. it seems like they'd all fall behind you
This is at least something compared to what comes out of steam greenlight usually .
+Maya Amano Not really though
+Maya Amano this is still a lesser game than the stuff you'd comonly find on an atari 2600. just because some lazy 15yo put their mspaint projects on greenlight doesn't make stuff like this any better, it just makes it "not the worst", wich shouldn't be what you're aiming for as a game developper.

I like how there's an enemy deepwater fleet in the shallows just off the coast, obviously stuck, and the bomber is hitting empty huts when such rich targets are literally just sitting there.
Those graphics make me nostalgic for early 90's low-budget 3D games. I somehow doubt that's what these developers where going for though.
Why is the plane so narrow?
+Dr Shaym it has an unrealistic idea of what planes should look like.
i dont know much about planes, but it did seem like the wrong model for a bombing plane.
+Anne Belleigh #EndPlaneShaming
+HλNNES_ S It has several details of the B-52, like the two engines in each engine nacelle. Also, the B-52 actually IS rather narrow.
+HλNNES_ S It looks exactly like a B-52. It has the engines, wings fuselage, and everything. I'd assume it comes from an asset pack somewhere.
Well boys I reckon this is it. Nuc'ler combat toe to toe with the Pooskies.
Maximize your accuracy! By just shooting out bombs without end that destroy entire airfields by hitting one end of the runway.
...accuracy.
also: the plane strafes right a few times in the video - VERY ACCURACY YES PLANE FLY ACCURATE
Steam Greenlight: where the planes poop, dogs ride on skateboards and assets are flipped. Also: many fruits.
The explosion sprites clip through each other oh god
Anyone else notice that this is a Digital Homicide game?
Also, I'm not an expert on bombing aircraft, but that doesn't look like a bomber to me, more like an ordinary passenger plane colored black
It's a B-52 Stratofortress, a American 8 engine heavy bomber.
Video games have now reached another dimension of intelligence and depth in this new fuck it just fuck it fuck video games i hate them
I wonder which soundtrack will be in the next best of steam greenlight? My bet is on One-eyed Maestro.
Has anyone else noticed that the bombs seem to land directly under the spot that they were pooped out from? I'm pretty sure most bombs are dropped instead of being fired out the back of the plane like these apparently are. If the bombs fell in an ark like they should it would have given the game some element of challenge as opposed to the zero challenge it currently has. Just something to keep in mind indie developer.
I'd love to play a fully funded version of this game.
That's some heavy duty shit right there
That does not look like a military bomber. Looks suspiciously like a passenger airliner.
+RedWolf Productions It is a B-52 stratofortress. Which does, indeed, look suspiciously like a passenger jet at first glance, because it's not like there are THAT many different ways to build a friggin' huge plane.
"Plane Ass"
I see what ya did there
"Ber pomb usage."-Jim Sterling 2015
I remember there used to be a game just like this on Atari except it wasn't crap
Yeah, the fact that the plane doesn't seem to be able to turn isn't a problem. It looks like it's taking a shit.
Roughly 4.77 seconds into the video, I thought, "This is a uninspired remake of Xevious."
surely if the targets are still on screen bomb when hit by the bombs, the stream of poop shouldn't be disappearing off the bottom of the screen? It's as if the plane is actively firing the bombs backwards. Or, if you prefer, expolisively shitting itself
Fun fact: heavy bombers where notoriously inaccurate.
Accuracy
In a game where, from the looks of it, you practice carpet bombing.
it looks less polished than Galaga, which was released over 30 years ago...
Dig a trench or bugger off, here comes the thunder!
...Sorry... been playing a little bit too much of Dirty Bomb.
That's some explosive poo.
one day we'll see a greenlight trailer that gets Jim excited... If you want to bomb something from high altitude play warthunder
I would assume rather than an ass being a big metal bird it would have a cloaca.
Another Digital Homicide masterpiece. By "masterpiece" I mean piece of shit.
GG Digital Homicide.
Remember when Steam Greenlight used to not be a joke?
Is the mouse cursor on the screen apart of the trailer?
Are you aware that plane is a PASSENGER PLANE?!
What th- I could swear he'd done this game already but I don't see the video anywhere... have I gone crazy?
Not even a patch on "Blitz" for the Vic 20
high too my man
Classy.
It's poop for sure Jim. It was clearly pooping.
Oh ... and speaking of pooping Valve stop letting this poop on Steam.
Is that a passenger plane sprite that someone painted black?
Jim, why haven't you been putting the credit to Kevin for the music in desc?
The low quality at 1:40 is actually hurting my eyes...
Da Plane! Da Plane!
Very unimpressive visuals. Why do the buildings just disappear before any bombs hit them?
There was a bombing game on the atari that was like this and I swear it looked better too.
those trees do
I had a game in the Atari intellavision that looked like this.
Pooping out it's planus.
This is a flash game.
ooh, based on accuracy, you say?
my runs speed up once
the plane is pooing because it breathes through its skin, dont hate
It's no River Raid.
Heheheh he said poop.
Instead of "plane.... arse" you could have used "fusel-arse"
it looks like a passenger plane, how do you drop bombs from a passenger plane?
+tyler roberts It's a B-52 Stratofortress, which is a bomber. Not well done at all, I must add.
noname117spore not well done? like the rest of the game?
In-very-much-deed.
Just download DCS world for free guys and thank me later. Eagle Dynamics (the creators) have regular sales for the add on aircraft also, all of which are worth their full asking price given the insane amount of accuracy and detail they contain...
I'd play a bomber game, if it wasn't shit
I'd just like to point out that you can buy Raptor: Call of the Shadows on Steam for five bucks. That game is from 1994, and looks so much better than this as to be almost laughable.
Also, Raptor is fun.
Jet poo can't melt steal beams
But the real question: are these Unity assets?
Have you played War Thunder Jim?
Someone....someone spent money to put this on greenlight.......huh
It's a simulator and so the view is OUTSIDE the plane? Hmm. I recall ZX Spectrum games that had better B-52 simulation than this.
I'm convinced these people who post these games fully know they are putting up shit, and either just want to try to get what little money they can, or B just want their shit to be covered by Jim. They can't care about these games anymore than you care about what that plane drops in the toilet.
Does anyone even remember what a simulator game is supposed to be?
The camera is wayy too far above the plane are you playing as a space bird mind controlling a boeing?
wait The Mac..... wasn't that the shit lord that was stealing all those mods as his own and telling people that he made them when steam was doing that hole modding fiasco?
this video is memes.
reallllly good review Jim... 'looks like the planes pooping', grow up mate.
Also war thunder
MORE LIKE IT'S POOPING OUT OF ITS PLANUS AM I RIGHT?
plop plop
Well, it isn't the worst game with Heavy Fire in the name. Heavy Fire: Afghanistan still wins that prize. And is it just me, or does that look like a passenger jet and not a military bomber?
+Shtoops _ It looks exactly like a B-52 Stratofortress, which is a bomber. They probably got the asset from it somewhere.
Its so dumb when asset flips aren't even accurate...
Jim and Idubbbztv have gone full circle
Dat plane ass do.
idubbbz did this
+11Cent was wondering why i felt i had seen this before
A video on it? Did he delete it?
Plane-us
Jim Sterling Are you not tired of reviewing so much video games?
Those 1942 games aren't as good as I remember...
No joke about the planus. Disappointing
This is not how planes work.
listen to 2:49 on loop. someone make a remix please!!
The physics in that is all wrong....
IDUBBBZ DID IT FIRST!!!
(sarcasm alert)
ohh yea I watched this one on +idubbbztv
soooo.... they made a game about carpet bombing shit in B52's... and they base player score on accuracy... do you even history bro?
