Bobs game

Poor guy...Nintendo truly is all about money!!!!

Uhh.. I dont know what is going on with the site now. I think the guy has gone insane or just needs attention. Here is a brief description of what WAS going on.

Bob Pelloni was a man with a simple dream that so many of us probably dream about. He wanted to be a game developer and had plans for an 'old school' RPG for the DS. After putting nearly 15,000 hours (spread out over the past five years) into his game, dubbed "Bob's Game", he was ready to take it to its final stage of development but needed a Software Developer's Kit in order to complete it. He says that he followed Nintendo's rules for purchasing the SDK and even applied for a developer's licensee. However, Nintendo refused to sell him the kit. Pissed and determined to finish his project, Bob started a protest.

He decided to barricade himself in a room for 100-days upon which he would continue to fine tune and develop "Bob's Game". (Food was delivered to him once a week by a friend and he had a shower and bed located behind the camera.) His plan was to gain publicity and give Nintendo a negative outlook for being a "loutish corporate heavy, badly treating an indie developer" company by setting up a web cam to publicly stream him working. Bob created a site for his streaming and updates and said that he would stop the sit-in if Nintendo gave him a SDK. After all, with Nintendo being a company that has always seemed to be built on the idea of originality, he figured it would work.

They always say that if you can survive the first 48 hours without any trouble, you can always survive. However, that was not the case for Bob. As you can see from the picture above, he went insane by day 30. Without TV, video games (other than the one he was working on), and no contact with anyone lead him to give up. (That and the fact that he said he wasn't getting enough publicity- that people were making more fun of him than they were supporting him.)

According to accounts on 4chan's, /v/, some posters were watching him when he started going berserk. After throwing things and eventually smashing down his desk, he laid motionless in the middle of the pile. A few hours passed and Bob continued to move very little. One of the guy's watching managed to get a phone number from Bob's site and was able to contact his sister, telling her to go check on him. (He's ok.)
This is his web site upon which you can scroll down and read each day's blog and see where it he slowly becomes more and more crazy. As well as read his long defeat speech. Even though Nintendo doesn't seem interested, Bob would still like to finish his game and is currently looking into porting it over to the Android, iPhone, and OpenPandora and is also looking into working with the XBLA and Steam.
