He's either even dumber than he appears to be or an Andy Kaufman level troll

Is it down? Seems to work for me

I noticed he took down his actual website a few days ago. I was curious if maybe the Don Knotts estate was got wise, but the youtube stuff still seems to be there.

Oh I was looking at the wrong videos then. All the Punny stuff is still up

Maybe someone did try to get him in trouble for all the stolen stuff in his videos.

Some people say deeproot is a scam and tax write off as a fun passion project. If so, it’s a terrible one. Pinball Adventure? Pretty excellent one all things considered.

I genuinely think this dude is having a lot of fun making these silly/awful videos, managing the project, doing some hands on work, and is content if they only build a handful of units.

Don’t get me wrong, the company will fail in the traditional sense. I really can’t tell how serious he is about all of this, but he’s getting stuff done (albeit in a very D- grade way)

If the worst things he’s done are a series of bad dad jokes and ripping off the Don Knotts estate, so what?

It’s hard to separate this project to how he treated Todd Tuckey’s book collaboration. Maybe he is hurting team members in private?

I don’t know anymore with this guy… he seems like a home brewer trying to take advantage of the system.

I’m guessing I’m missing something?

I know he screwed Todd, which is awful.

Besides that, he’s posted a lot of dumb game concepts

Punny Factory is a meh throw back layout with some very basic rules and a lot of bad dad jokes. The art had some sort of budget?

And then there was some other game that is only in rudimentary shooting VPin form, but has some original/iterative ideas.

That and lots of stealing of random clips, pictures, likenesses rights for his weird videos (including someone in a homebrew thread)

I’ve also seen him post pictures of parts and some built games. Again, he’s just a home brewer with no taste and a small budget to burn.

Idk. Not my sort of trainwreck that I keep up with

I thought this was interesting. Don't know how accurate it is, but it's the status on all the orders thus far. 10 games ordered, all in the same state, but only the first machine has a name attached to it. They could just be proactively building the other 9.
