Is using a song from fucking Wrestling Empire on one of their commercials and MDickie keeps winning.
MDickie managing to pop up unexpectedly in the modern era of the internet after being a strange oddity with his games about jesus and being in prison will be my favorite thing
Okay so for the uninitiated Mdickie is a gamedev who's simultaneously made the shittiest games but made the funniest ones at the same time How bad we talking one may wonder?
one of his most infamous ones has you play as a desciple of jesus. You have shoddy graphics everywhere, the games control like garbage, and it's horrifically manged christain scripture.
And it's fucking awesome. You can have a guy walk around fine with a missing leg and then just be mildly annoyed with you.
And then there's Hard time
Where you play as a prison inmate where everyone will make up the smallest reason to kill you, you serve only 60 days for commiting terrorism, you can make GUNS AND OPIATE IN A STORAGE ROOM, you can fucking bodyslam prisoners, and much much more absurdity.
The dude was also a huge wrestling fan from what I understand, enough that he made his own wrestling games:
They were-- you get the picture. I haven't played it myself personally but, from what I understand, they were wild shit.
This dude was popular back in the good year of 2009. Well, popular is a statement for sure. From what I read he acted on the internet like a wrestling manager on WWE would, which probably didn't endear him to some folk.
Dude retired for a bit, then started making mobile games where his bizarre games were much more well received-- although they were still appropriately janky. Even made 2D versions of You Testament and Hard Time! (The latter of which you can deadass buy on steam too, apparently)
That brings us to today, with his game Wrestling Empire, which he is still actively working on.
Apparently taking inspiration from old wrestling games of the N64 era like WWF No Mercy, it's about as unhinged as one would expect after reading all of the above
Support my man MDickie please this dude deserves to keep winning.
Also as a fun fact, during a time of retirement, he apparently developed educational applications and published educational resources in TES. Apparently it was good enough that according to wikipedia, "his sources had been used in 10,000 classrooms and he was invited to the 2011 TES Awards".
Follow your dreams kids.
Has never stopped being himself no matter how notorious or infamous he got for his games, and he just kept going at it against all logic or common sense, and came out the other side of it with Wrestling Empire, a legit fantastic, and extremely absurd, wrestling video game.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
