It's hard for me to believe that anyone who calls themself a programmer would fuck up so hard. I have to assume he was getting paid so this was professional project. And a big one if he was the primary/only coder. One of the first thing you learn in software dev (pretty much right after "Hello world") is the importance of naming things. If I named any thing Booger Aids you could bet cold hard cash that its has something to do with aids infested boogers (ewww). IDk anything about the bro but I hope he never touches someone elses code again.
It's not so hard to believe imo.
DarkCookie started the game out as a test to try out coding in RenPy, and he played around with it until he started getting actual money coming in.
Then he hired a coder that AFAIK, was before Dogeek. At that point, I'm sure that everything was fine and DC never needed to look into it, because that was the reason for hiring someone who actually knew what they were doing.
That coder ended up leaving for some reason or another, iirc... they started working on more serious gaming stuff, or something along those lines and then Dogeek was hired. Remember at this point, the game is significantly smaller, there's no tech update and everything is running well enough that no one needs to look into the coding, because it's working.
In comes Strayerror, who if I'm recalling what DC has said, overlapped Dogeek for a short period of time and started talking about the lazy labelling that Dogeek was doing. DC then talked to Dogeek about the sloppy filing etc, and whatever else was said, he let Dogeek go. He never disparaged Dogeek in any mean spirited way, but has made multiple mentions of the sloppy way he was handling things. Remember, the game was still working, but they realized they needed to fix things to expand the aspect ratio, the story etc.
Now Strayerror is on his own rebuilding the game and for anyone who pulls apart the files and looks into them, they will see that the way the game is currently compiled, is completely different from the older versions.
That's pretty much everything I remember.
