Word has spread that Bob Pelloni, creator of Bob's Game, has ended his 100 day protest early due to an extreme headache. Those of you familiar with the ongoing saga of Bob's request of a Nintendo DS Software Development Kit (who, despite claiming to meet the requirements to receive an SDK, has not been able to get his hands on one) will know that Bob has been working on Bob's game for almost five years now. After declaring that he'd locked himself in his room to work on ports for the Android, iPhone, and other less restrictive platforms, Bob lasted exactly one month before raising the white flag and admitting defeat.
Billed as a "fifteen thousand hour masterpiece", Bob's game appears to take the form of an RPG, "with focus on story, puzzles, item collection, and communication instead of repetitive battles with palette-swapped enemies". The feat alone is impressive, but one must question his credibility as a reliable business partner, having posted near-daily rants on Nintendo's incompetence and the supposedly retail-like quality of his project. Where he will go from here remains to be seen.
