Flappy Bird: understanding the developer

[titoyees]

Hello.
This is a collection of tweets that Dong Nguyen (who developed the Flappy Bird) wrote during the last year.
Maybe then we can understand his decision to shut down Flappy Bird.

Thinking about making a clone of breakout with some new things

Man, I'm so lazy. How to change that. ��

I'm not a patient person when reading a book. I like to read random pages to look for something interesting.

I just love violence, secretly, definitely. #confession

For the games that I like to make, I should only use one of them each time.

Pretty much all games from big publishers are boring.

I have problem of losing interest very quickly. So I promise myself to always finish what I have started.

Coding is too slow and boring to me. Especially, when I have a bunch of ideas in my head.

? Dong Nguyen (@dongatory) mar 28, 2013
Knowing when to stop is mandatory.

I have problem of over ambition and haven't finished anything for a couple of years.

? Dong Nguyen (@dongatory) ap 5, 2013
I should not quit my job too soon and make some logical decisions. But everything will be okay, I believe.

? Dong Nguyen (@dongatory) ap 8, 2013
I regret the process of myself being a game maker but not the choice of career I made years ago. #confessionnight

? Dong Nguyen (@dongatory) ap 8, 2013
Oh, finally kick this game out of doors and go out to have a decent day before the holiday ends.

I am sorry 'Flappy Bird' users, 22 hours from now, I will take 'Flappy Bird' down. I cannot take this anymore.

What do you think?

I think he is a drama queen.

 

[WINDOW LOVIN]

My honest opinion?...By observing what he is written in his tweets he sounds troubled...maybe even schizophrenic? This one troubled me a bit, "— Dong Nguyen (@dongatory) feb 26, 2013

About that, he wrote this:

Well, obviously, I'm not gay. Thanks for the unwanted interest.

lol

 

[inteller]

Dong problems....

 

[PureView]

Well he did kill the game when it was at its peak. Rather than letting it fall into obscurity where no one gave a **** about it any more.

 

[bilzkh]

The next big thing in technology, mark my words.

 

[irvin792]

Long Duck Dong "what's happening hot stuff?"

 

[berty6294]

I very clearly see it this way. He smelled a lawsuit coming, so he announced he would be taking the game down in 22 hours, thus for fear of never being able to download it in the future, people downloaded immediately, skyrocketing his sales to make as much money as possible before a lawsuit hit! The end.
