So that wasn't the original intended ending, right? It was one of those "we had to cobble it together with a different writer" situations, right...?
>>749003381I'm pretty sure the original plan was to expand the story with a sequelThere's the whole deal with the bird guy's family, for example
Endings are hard to write, and they're the moments that reveal whether you have been stalling or writing incoherently all along.You're meant to build up a thesis with a story, where every chapter establishes context or analyses established contexts, and over the course of doing this in tandem, you can arrive at a conclusion that proves a point.Game writing isn't different from writing essays in school. I remember being taught about "Writer-taxonomy".>1: Exposition>2: Analysis>3: PerspectivationAnd each step happens linearly, so if you apply it to stories the first part has to be expository, the next has to self-examine and the final part has to extrapolate a meaning from the pieces.I suspect a lot of game writers never even think in any analytical fashion. They just "vibe" and "write characters". A lot of it still occurs to writers instinctively I think, but a lot of people don't put into words what actually makes a story work properly.I haven't played Night in the Woods, but I wouldn't be surprised given how many trannies loved it.

>>749003381Cult is meant to symbolize Conservatism and clinging onto the past (however fake and folklore-y that past is) at the expense of the new generation. The cult is more than willing to literally sacrifice the young to a being that promises to bring back the good ol' days that they weren't even around for. Them all dying (probably) symbolizes that ultimately this mindset is a killer and will lead to nothing as things always grow and change. I have no fucking clue why Mae is talking to the entity at all.
>>749003851You are basically correct but to be fair the game really is one of those "journey not the destination" things.

>>749003381No one should ever touch this game again after the way the devs treated that poor guy made him kill himself. Fucking sick.
>>749009419Was it devs? I thought it was some literally who.
>>749003381>>749009419They should've just turned this into a furry porn game after that bitch framed Alec for being a rapist.

>>749010380That is indeed the image I was referencing. Kino.
>>749009689Zoe Quinn accused him, then he killed himself the next day before anyone could really respond. Scott Benson made a long post about how he always thought Alec Holowka was troubled and put a lot of examples, but had no ill will towards him and considered him a friend. He said that it's likely considering what he knew of the guy that he probably did it. Holowka's sister then partnered with Zoe Quinn or some shit to siphon the music sales towards some Sweet Baby wannabe.

I still find it really funny that audience responses are either a. these characters are just like me and my friends, this is so nostalgic, I was just like thisb. these characters are so fucking annoying
angus is LITERALLY me and i want to fuck bea
>>749004912>>749003851I'm pretty sure all of the cultists (if not most) died during the end when the mine collapsed. Was it implied Mae's aunt was also part of the cult?
>>749010991>Zoe Quinn accused himAnd because we should believe all women, everyone instantly took her word for it. The rest of the dev team distanced themselves from him rather than support him or even wait. The poor man killed himself because of an accusation.
It's a faillenial vibe game, it's not that deep.

>>749013043I'm glad NeverKnowsBest's 6 hour GG retrospective had a bit on that and painted ZQ as the untrustworthy pathological liar and psychopath she is.
>>749010991>>749009419>>749013043Don't feel sorry for him at all, he was as much of a deranged lefty as the ones who backstabbed him, had the false accusations been directed at someone else, he would have fallen in line with the leftycult and done the exact same that was done to him, and he would have loved every second of it for the "social credit" he would have gained among his deranged peers.Good ridance, the grass is ever so slightly greener now.
>>749003381>listen to the ost yesterday>bread materializesanyways that's probably the case, the later arc does kinda feel more disconnected from the rest of the game.however imo mae feeling like she should have learned at least something, but coming empty handed from the whole thing also fits the character
>>749012924Sniffing fat Mae's BUTT
>>749016583>Hates right wing people>Only people that mourn him after his death are right wing peopleThis is surprisingly common.Anyway where's MEGA anon
>>749017978>>Hates right wing people>>Only people that mourn him after his death are right wing peopleThis is part of the reason why right wingers keep taking Ls
>>749018120Sadly true. There's a lot of things that right wingers naively see at virtues that left wingers see as weaknesses to exploit.
>>749009419>>749009789>>749010991Truly tragic. I still remember this. It's surprising this game hasn't been tainted more by these events.
>>749020381I feel like this is a game not many people actually played and for some reason it’s just a scapegoat for “bad writing” because “the hero/mentally ill person is supposed to get better”
>>749012924It was misdirection, she shows up fine after the mine incident and has no suspicious comments about it.
>>749006391The story is basically just “I’m mad at my parents for taking me to church on Sundays” tier petty hatred dressed up as something more profound but failing at it.
Is Mae at the level of self loathing that she's anal-only cunt neglect, let a room of freshmen stick a beer bottle up her ass to buttchug while being recorded tier?I think so
>>749006391The entity represents Mae's nihilistic view on the world, as well as worries of the people of the town. Entropy that inevitably consumes everything. Her depression, disappointment with the world and herself, fears, lost time etc. In the end she finds strength to fight against it, chooses to be happy. To live right now, not in the past or imaginary worlds, stop running away from pain of life. Even if the world would truly end tomorrow and life is scary. Otherwise you keep feeding the infinite hole like the cultists did, as a placebo.
