What 'bad' developer are you fascinated by?

[No_Life_King]

Probably Tetsuya Nomura. Bro is way too ambitious, and it leads to the same mistakes over and over.

Masayuki Furuya, so this technically applies to NIS (Nippon Ichi Software)

i really love his artstyle and what feels like his uncompromised vision on videogames.
a lot, and i mean a lot of patience is required to go through the games he has made, such as htoL#NiQ: The Firefly Diary, Void Terrarium, and the Blind Prince & The Liar Princess which recently got a port for PC.

but it really feels like there is something special there despite the questionable gameplay design which is borderline insufferable. i think personally the Firefly Diary is a very special videogame to me, it feels like the pain i suffered from playing it actually contributed to the satisfaction and uniqueness of the experience and especially of its narrative.

a lot of NIS games have amazing art and honestly good stories more often then not but yeah there is always things off with the gameplay

Data East could count? I heard that many of their games are rough but I like them.

Traveller's Tale too maybe?
