I would save Mary. No one would be able to stop me.
ww
>>49141857She's real to me!
I would save Garry. No one would be able to stop me.
The fuck? I mean there's nothing wrong I just was not expecting a based ib thread on my jaypee
>>49145214Wait a fucking second... that image of anime girl crying they use in memes is Ib?!Huh, you learn something every Ib thread...
>>49141857Mary is precious and deserved better. Change my mind.
Tastes like blueberries.>>49146325Considering the views of others is a sign of a sound mind, anon... but why change when you're already objectively correct?
>>49146325She does have a good ending where she becomes your adorable imotou, what kind of a better ending is there?Honestly, Garry disappointed me, he didn't give Mary a chance at all, as soon as he found out she was a painting he didn't care about her at all, it was very harsh of him.
Obligatory Mary did nothing wrong.
>>49141857One of those characters I want to hug and never let go, and another blonde / blue eyed European character that owns a share of my heart. The Japs know how to make them well, don't they?
>>49141857I miss the RPG Maker Horror era. Western stuff doesn't hit the same way.
>>49152127Real. There's still some good RPG Maker stuff coming out of Japan, you just need to hope there's an EN translation available. Most Western games feel like they come back around to being heavy-handed analogies for depression or loneliness.
>>49162629I'd argue there's some good stuff coming from the west too like Hello Charlotte and Grimm's Hollow but they don't even hold a candle to the Japanese games from around 2008-2014. Ironically it seems the scene is more alive in the west nowadays than it is in Japan.
>>49170116I blame part of the decline in the English side of the world on the let's play culture of the 2010's dying. Those guys really played anything
>>49172095And I blame Twitch for killing those. Pretty much every big LPer from back then has either quit or become a streamer.
>>49172157just send your game to markplier
>>49172208Mark don't even play fangames anymore I doubt he'll play whatever you randomly send him
>>49172208One of the first vids I watched of Markiplier was his ib playthrough, along with mad father. I haven't watched that guy in years, I doubt he'd ever play a game like that again
>>49180109if you were a real fan you would know he still wants people to contact him about these kind of stuff instead of just thinking he is too busy to play whatever you randomly send him>>49180284he literally popularize fnaf by himself and also those other games you mentioned like mad father
>>49180318(Ten years ago)
>>49141857I played the remake about a year ago and accidentally got the yuri ending
>>49184707I see a lot of people get that ending on first attempt.My first ending was actually the "true" Garry ending.
>>49186650Your momma never told you not to trust strange men with long, dirty coats who give you candy, anon? Following Mary-neesan is what she would've wanted. You could've even made friends with her!
>>49186701I wanted a good ending for everybody, when poor Mary had her breakdown I spoke to her for nearly 30 minutes in the room if not more thinking it might change things (I didn't even know how the game decides an ending, went blindly into it)
>>49141857I quite like Mary's color scheme.
>>49190486It's very pleasant to the eye, isn't it? And green gives impression of being full of life...
>>49197616Both green and blue and green and yellow are somewhat rare color combinations that work very well. So Mary being mostly green with blue and yellow makes her very pleasant to look at and a little strange.
>>49148308In fairness why would garry trust a paintingShe could have just been pretending to be a human to get their trust and kill them.You can't take any chances in a world like that; and the fact that mary wasn't up-front and honest about her not being a human from the art gallery really adds to the reasons why he would not trust her
>>49201312Garry could have easily taken her knife away, she is a litlte girl, without it she can't do much.
>>49201312Wait a second what is MARY doing in there.
I've never seen anybody talk about this statue lady that runs down the screen when you first enter the red area. Creeped me out a lot back in the day
>>49202860she is getting painted on by me, i cropped it to not dox myself
>>49201312I trust her
>>49201312>In fairness why would garry trust a paintingI mean Mary behaved differently from other paintings, others just attacked on sight, it was clear Mary wanted to befriend Ib.It doesn't help that when Garry ran to Ib's safety Mary was having a mental breakdown because she found out that Garry knew of her secret.
>>49213723I'd thrust her
Mary a cute
Ib a cute
garry a guy
The incredible envy I feel toward Ib for getting to call this woman mommy
>>49221592Ib's mom is so underrated. It's crazy how there's barely any "art" of her.
>>49221901Yeah, there really is just nothing - not even kouri seems to have drawn anything of her besides some B&W sketches... but how could s/he leave it at that? She and the Lady in Red are the only characters in the game that make my neurons fire. I guess it just leaves more to the imagination.
disgusting mature woman fetishists
>>49222316It's like there's some otherworldly, outside force influencing us... not that I mind. I for one welcome our saggy overlords.
>>49224869Touhou x Ib art is something I didn't know I needed
>>49224922Mary's design, and backstory too, if I'm being honest, could easily pass as 1st gen windows.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOPykH3vM4wI absoltuely adore this song about Mary.
>>49141857Man, Ib. Grew up with let's plays of all the cool horror rpgmaker games. I remember finding out that they were made by one person and my mind being blown. Showed me you don't need massive resources to do something great. It inspired me to create as well.One of my first faps was to Mary.
>>49229617Why'd you guys fap to Mary? What's sexual about her? C'mon guys.
>>49229825In my defense I was like 10 the first time I saw a let's play of Ib. As far as sexual awakenings go, I'd say a normal girl is among the least strange.
>>49229825I've never fapped to her or Ib (or any of the cute girl RPGMaker protagonists for that matter) they are way too precious to me, but I can't deny the fact that long hair is hot, black stockings are hot, and psychotic girls are hot.
>>49229825I don’t fap to her. I just believe I can fix her.
>>49229825nothing sexual about her but she's a loli, she's got personality and she deserves better and so we all think "if she can't get a happy ending we can at least give her a happy ending" (giggity)
>>49229825I prefer Ib, expressionless girls are hot
>>49230794do you prefer it when expressionless lolis break their expressionlessness during sex, have a subtle blush but keep the lack of expression or just completely expressionless the entire time?
>>49229825I am a filthy lolicon
>>49231863aren't we allRumia Hijack Lol
Peter Pan collars and cute dresses, association with dolls, innocence contrasted with stabbiness... is this a Mary?
>>49238955It's an Ayaya
>>49241536An Ayaya? An Ayaya!
>>49241945
God I love this game so much
>>49241945Mad Father x Touhou is already weird but the fact this piece was posted ~2 months ago makes it even weirder.Aya a cute
>>49246885Aya a Aya!Yeah, that was my exact thought at first, but then it turned into wondering how there isn't any other art (where I've looked) featuring the two like this from way earlier. Guess people were too busy drawing Mad Father x Every Other JRPG at the time to give the 10gu some love.
>>49248977That image. Man, I miss RPG Maker horror so much it's unreal.
>>49251608I kind of miss when the stuff was new, unexplored, and genuinely scary as well - but at the same time it's kind of comfy knowing the ins and outs of the games, and returning to them like old friends. The yearly playthroughs have become something like childhood movie marathons, where you can just forget everything else for the duration of the games and immerse yourself in them. You get to go back to a simpler time for a little bit...
>>49141857the non canon sacrifice ending is the best. too bad dev didn't like it
>>49253973Why did he hate it so much in the first place? Ib even hints at it in the canon game.
Don't die yet
>>49224946she and the poltergeists are kind of similar
>>49258860We're not dying! We are going to live forever!
>>49258899Ib is so damn cute
>>49259885Something about a destroyed childhood brings out the best in a girl, doesn't it?
>>49262514I guess early childhood trauma just brings out the best in some people
>>49263904Although then again childhood trauma can definitely go both ways
Please still be here when I wake up...
>>49266595Cute...
>>49266595I’ll find a way to get Mary out without having to replace anyone.
>>49252765Those are some strange looking fairies...
>>49224946We already have living instruments. A living painting would feel way more gothic though.
Mary is a good girl
>>49272856Yes she is! She just doesn’t know better.
>>49267936A tsukumogami of her painting would be fitting but it kind of lacks something without the context of the game where she's trapped in the art gallery and all that
>>49273680this. the art gallery is really what makes the whole thingthat and given the pattern established with every other tsukumogami character in Touhou that'd mean Mary would have to lug around her painting with her and unless you have her surfing around on it it'd look a bit goofy no matter what
>>49274263I'm now picturing Shoulder-a-Coffin Kuro but with Mary and her painting
>>49251608>>49252765I'd like to one day try my hand at making an RPG maker horror gameof course it'd be the most derivative rubbish ever, but hey at least it'd be fun.
>>49275246II daydream of this too, but I have no skills when it comes to painting/drawing.I can make Dark Ambient/Industrial music and that's it.
>>49275257From what I know drawing / painting is a skill anyone can learn but it just takes time and a lot of practice... well actually same can be said of a ton of skills. It'll definitely be years before I get anywhere decent but yknow having a goal to strive towards is nice to have
>>49275391Right now I'm doing this iwth Japanese, I've been learning it intensely for 2 months now, and I agree that having a goal is life fullfilling, though I sort of miss the aimless feeling as well.
I like that some people still make art of these old RPGMaker games to this day
>>49276137I hate being aimless honestly, although Marisa is my fav 2hu Reimu's extremely relatable in that sense
>>49278149I don't play RPGmaker games anymore but I have a couple of old RPGMaker games I made over a decade ago that I still play every now and then.
>>49284208Very beautiful, it's wonderful what stunning art Ib inspired.
I'm going to sleep, but this thread isn't.
>>49289360Why do you deserve to sleep but Mary doesn't?
We must save Mary!
>>49281528...and you've never posted them?
>>49145208Garry's Mod
Mary what did you do!?
>>49317995It's absolutely insane how much this thread has gone thru.
Mary!
>>49319233My wife.
Now it's Mary's turn to save us.
>>49323487Mary got burned to a crisp
Please stay alive a bit longer, dear Ib thread.
>>49328226I think I know a girl who could help you with that. For just a day...
>>49330075AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASHOULD'T HAVE TRADED BY BODY WITH THE BITCHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>49141857I always wonder why Mad Father, The Witch's House and Misao all got novels but Ib didn't. Maybe kouri just didn't want anyone else to touch Ib's story, considering his reaction to Green Edition
>>49330075Ellen a cute!
>>49272856She is a treacherous snake and would kill you in a heartbeat to achieve her goals
>>49333190How rude, Mary is a sweet girl who would never hurt anyone. she just has some abandonment issues...
>>49333244Lies.Lies.
>>49333469*hugs Mary*
>>49322927How do you get married to a painting?
>>49330164the prequel manga is so fucking sad
>>49172208>>49180284>>49180318Ever since one of his friends offed himself, Mark's kinda started straying away from doing a lot of horror games and going for more light-hearted/goofy stuff, which is understandable since the last game he played at the time had your character intentionally killing herself a lot, hit too close to home I bet
>>49330075>>49330164Probably the most despicable character in video game history, regardless of what she went through.
>>49343387so truuue!
>>49346259
>>49346973
Teh Chenners...
>>49349931I completely forgot what thread I was bumping. Have this as compensation.
>>49353202How should one go about consoling a crying Mary?
>>49356892Hugs and headpats, and if she wants to stab me a couple times to take out her anger that's completely fine with me
>>49356892Paint her eyes back to normal!
Mary is best character in Ib.
>>49378692well now that's a bit of an oxymoron. No real competition for that spot outside of Gary.
>>49385262If only Mary could see snow.
This game is what really got me into yuri during my teenage years, and The Witch's House made me appreciate sluts who go after another girl's daddy.
>>49389102She's so beautiful.
>>49400429>Viola (Ellen) and her father live happily ever after having crazy mind blowing sex every day and night until either the father dies from orgasm overdose or Viola dies giving birth to her thirteenth daughterRemind me again why people hated this ending?
>>49411510It should have been proper Viola being in the missionary not Ellen. That's why.
WHERE'S THE BLOODY SEQUELTHEBLOODYSEQUEL
>>49422361It is in our hearts
>>49426299Why did they draw her so sexy here
>>49426454I think the accurate term is beautiful, not sexy
>>49422361I don't think it needs one desu but I would love to see another game from Kouri
>>49439400MARY NO
>>49426481This. Beautiful = beautiful. Sexy = an attitude. Sexy is not about looks in my opinion.This is sexy, for example.
>>49445994>>49426481I see, I did find >>49426299 sexy, it looks seductive and alluring. Her open mouth and those eyes, I found it to be personally very sexy.
>>49473992CuteI'm impressed by how long this thread has lasted.
>>49502845My love
>>49431976He really made 1 game and then dipped
>>49141857https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6a0lk3jQhh4
>>49229617>One of my first faps was to MaryW-What was the okazu?
https://youtu.be/sfAhublwXu8?si=UVYGgnfCi-5jBwia
>>49514820The funny thing about IbxGary shippers is that they always forget Gary is gay
>>49515079There's no proof for that he's just femine.Also gays sometimes like little girls so I don't see how the ship doesn't work.
>>49515079I don't know why Ib x Garry got all the love back in the day when Mary x Garry is so much better...
>>49521756Personally I don't like shipping because Gary is a 20s emo boy and Ib 'n Mary are like 9.Would smash the Lady in Blue though.
>>49534579>spoilerFor me, it's the naked lady
>>49145675yeah it shocked me too
https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm17685613 kinoI still have no clue if the song itself is related to ib, but people thought so 12 years ago, so it must be true
>>49575933>お探しの動画は視聴できません>この動画は存在しないか、削除された可能性があります。Well shit...
>>49577125Typo? The video still exists.
>>49422361How would you go about making a sequel to IB if you were the executive producer, Anon?I haven't thought mine out fully but I think one taking place after Welcome to the World of Guertena / A Painting's Demise would be really interesting. Maybe you're a family member or police desperate for answers
>>49608495You think it's possible to romance these things
>>49600673How about a prequel?
>>49617342>prequelNTA, but the more I think about it, the less sense it makes. Ib has to be the protagonist or the game's title just wouldn't add up. You could toy with the idea that she went into the painting sometime in the past and simply lost her memories. But then, Mary would surely remember her, so that can't be it.We know Guertena was obsessed with the girl in red, who was aparently based on someone he loved in life, so maybe making that someone Ib's mom could be more significant. The problem is, Mary would recognize her in the "Together Forever" ending, which also ruins the idea.
>>49617913Call it Gary and make a timey wimey adventure where he meet grown up Ib.>>49613376With no head and no mouth, the least of your worries is nagging, so romance it to your heart's content!
>>49638109So it's like fucking a torso onahole then
>>49645980More like a full body onahole that can move and leglock you before you cum and hold your hand after sex
ib
Mary
Ib is such a weird name.
>>49665077apparently it's supposed to be "eve"
>>49665086It kind of makes sense
>>49258860>>49258899Things in the art world never truly die... it's eternity in there. longer then you think.
>>49617913Have it be a sequel where you're a graffit artist or whatever breaking into an abandoned gallery
Garry is a stinky hobo
>>49600673>>49617342>>49617913Just make it a prequel manga about who the fuck Guertena actually was and how the painted world came to be.
>>49681516but doesn't that go against the entire point of the game's narrative?
>>49681574Any type of sequel/prequel goes against the game's narrative
Mary, Mary, quite contrary
>>49683818Mary is a contrarian?
>>49688278She eats crayons to own the liberals
>>49688740Her tastes are far more refined, she enjoys gouache paints.
>>49707163Poor Ib
>>49146325She's a two face bitch
>>49717480I wouldn’t say she’s two-faced. All she wants to do is leave the painted world, and the only way to do that is to replace a real person. Everything she does works towards that goal. She doesn’t see anything wrong with this because she grew up in painted world, which itself is very twisted and dog-eat-dog. Also note that Mary never lies to you. When you meet her, she says “I wanted to find a way out, but I got lost.” It’s Garry that jumps to the conclusion that she’s from outside.
>>49717480She's a two faced cute and delicate flower.
>>49330075>>49330656>>49330164
>>497206292DEEP4U
The lady in red was hot
Guertena dipped his balls in paint to create Mary. Don't believe me? It's just the absolute most fertile tool an artist could use. He also probably mixed semen in it.
>>49733417This is now the second time somebody here has thirsted over the painting smallfry enemy with no legs
>>49734486I want to paint her white
>>49733417Me behind her btw
I also love this psycho blonde loli like Mary
>>49763739Her design is cuteI never played her game...
>>49141857I would.
sometimes i wonder why this game was so pivotal for me emotionally, like it was my undertale before undertale, if i may put it into deeply cringe-rooted terms
>>49734001Guertana fucked and painted the Lady in Red in white and she gave birth to Mary
really random but decent ib thread going on in /v/
>>49850365It's been alright but since it's /v/ee it's just a ticking timebomb of when it will turn to shit
FACT: There needs to be more lewds of Mary.
>>49850607immediately after posting this it turned into wojakshit >>49854880Mary is for headpats and comforting by telling her she's loved and everything will be okay
>>49860336>Mary is for headpats and comforting by telling her she's loved and everything will be okayWhile she's riding on your dick, right?
Has anyone ever gone to the Ib anniversary event / pop up shop / official merch?
Mary and Garry rhyme with scary
>>49900983does anyone have any insight as to whether the color of the borders have any significance to the painting
>>49822588This game was also extremely important to me as a kid growing up, it's what inspired me to become an artist and write the things that I imagine in my head. The gentle music, the creepy atmosphere, the charming characters, it's one of the best RPG maker gems. It was so simple but so great.I miss when games like these came out, and when the fandom was so tight. At least the Yume Nikki community is still alive and thriving. I'll forever thank kouri for inspiring me.
>>49926652For a second I thought the artist gave her a blue tongue
>>49822588You need a doctor?
Looks like we're running low on available bumps, anything you want to say before we leave behind the World of Guertena anon?
I'm impressed with how long this thread has lasted. It went thru a lot too.
>>49955821I won't let the thread die!!! I love Ib!!! And want to play the remastered version to see the new paintings!!!
>>49955821I love all characters from this game and thank Kouri for making me see my own creations in a different way...and I will be judged for the ones I've forgotten and left behind...>>49955828It's been a fun thread I'm happy to have necro'd it for half a year
>>49959209Pat yourself on the back, this thread survived the April Fool's event, the hack and the /v/igger spam. It's incredible how long it's lasted.
