>>482083808Okay, a bit more autism: I've noticed people theorising that Indigo Park had just got done replacing Lloyd as the main mascot with Rambley because you can see a golden statue of Lloyd similar to Rambley's park entrance statue backstage at his theatre, and claiming that he's the main attraction in the original design of the park back in the black and white era, but if you look closely at the trailer you can see he's actually opposite Mollie, suggesting that then, as now, the characters were just arranged evenly around the park walls. Rambley did replace Lloyd in that position later on, admittedly, but still across from Mollie, not really placing him in a singular position on the exterior.Rambley replacing Lloyd also doesn't really jive with the note in the inventory that the company started pushing Lloyd harder than the other characters near the end of things (including giving him a specially manufactured retro plush vs Rambley's special edition plush just being cheap spraypaint on top of a regular one), so I suspect the Lloyd statue was actually there preparatory to being installed as a replacement for the Rambley statue. Similarly the "Lloyd's Limos" sign backstage of the Rambley Railway isn't a reminder of days gone by, it was the first stage of a renovation of the ride to switch it from Rambley-based to Lloyd-based (there's a similar light-up looking sign stored near Lloyd's statue). Notably, the Lloyd statue doesn't have the same kind of "holding hands with Mr Indigo" pose the Rambley one does, it's instead gesturing to the heavens, marking it out as not having been designed alongside the Mr Indigo statue.How much this figures into what happened to the park I don't know. Possibly Salem cared enough about Rambley that this is something she specifically sought to prevent, albeit at the cost of preventing Rambley from being able to do what he loved most for eight years.
>>482102052Also the Mollie Mascot wasn't stalking the player, exactly, she was simply curious as actual Macaws (from which she was engineered) tend to be, and following them around the park to see what they were doing. She only became vicious when the player accidentally cornered her in her own territory. For that matter the Lloyd Mascot doesn't seem inclined to attack until you pretty much corner him at the back of the theatre, either, though he does stalk you back to the entrance afterwards, much like a cat would. And the mysteriously moving head of Isaac Indigo on his statue is just an extra security camera, though who knows who controls/accesses it.>>482090618>>482090958Man, I don't know if I play enough games with mysterious plots to fill a whole channel with theories.

>>482102052>if you look closely at the trailer you can see he's actually opposite Mollie?????
>>482103987Picrel. When you get to the park in the game, Rambley *has* replaced Lloyd in that position on the outside, but Mollie's still in the same place on the other side of the gate.
>>482102780so this is why rambly dislikes Lloyd
https://youtu.be/oG_uqqqoWSw?si=LWVWPzig6q3HfmGQLook at that gay lil fucker dance
>>482102052I don't really know much about mascots, especially mascots from 1950 (It says it was created then by the wiki) But Lloyd looks a bit "modern", having unrealistic lion colors such as a blue nose. So maybe Indigo Park was really trying to replace Rambely with a "cooler" mascot.
>>482102217>Also the Mollie Mascot wasn't stalking the player, exactly, she was simply curious as actual Macaws (from which she was engineered) tend to be, and following them around the park to see what they were doing. She only became vicious when the player accidentally cornered her in her own territory.I think she hates humans. Since she mimics things what she hears, we can tell she was treated pretty badly by the staff and the customers. And with the fact she was (probably) a normal Macaw before forcibly reshaped into a child's mascot. I would say she wasn't curious, but rather vengeful
>>482102052No wonder Rambley hates Lloyd.
>>482102648There's some IGN Japan gameplay and it doesn't seem like they're AI. The other zookeep's voice is just super deep.
>>482106118A reasonable point, but Indigo park could have just had it's own odd style. Then again it's hard to make out, but I think Lloyd in the B&W footage does have a slightly different design from the current day version. I think maybe all the mascots got redesigned multiple times over the years, similar to other cartoon franchises. It'd be really weird if they didn't, and we do at least see a very retro version of Lloyd as a doll.Also personally I'm taking the wiki with a grain of salt, at least at the moment; information seems to change daily on there, I'm pretty sure it's currently mostly written by kids and like a lot of those wikis it's probably going to end up riddled with bits of fanfic and fanon. Plus UniqueGeese has suggested that with the overabundance of money from the Kickstarter they might go back and update/revamp a lot of the demo chapter for the better, so who knows what stuff they might change slightly or flesh out.>>482106537Perhaps, though she didn't attack until the player entered her territory, just watching and then always withdrawing when the player saw her, so I'm hesitant to say attack was always the plan. Possibly she wanted to see if they were a threat first. I suspect that what would appear to be bloodstains on the mascots is from a diet of stray animals, incidentally.
>>482108203>Plus UniqueGeese has suggested that with the overabundance of money from the Kickstarter they might go back and update/revamp a lot of the demo chapter for the better, so who knows what stuff they might change slightly or flesh out.If that happens, it would be a good opportunity to include previews of gameplay mechanics that appear in more complex forms in future chapters. I'm talking about mechanics like extra puzzle-solving functions for the flashlight and Critter Cuff, marking obstacles for Rambley and/or any other AIs that appear as allies to fix, additional items/gadgets, and interactions with the living mascots beyond jump scares and running like hell.Please no sprint meter, though.
>>482105690You'd think that with this and other fanmade Rambley songs out there, somebody would think to whip up one from Ed's perspective. You know, about their reasons for exploring the park, their bittersweet nostalgia for their childhood dreams, their terror at the characters they adored trying to eat them, or something?
>>482110141True, also maybe more minigames, I think he actually mentioned that at one point. I know he said he wanted to redo the arcade game, he hates how the movement feels.Dare I say, depending on what Rambley means by fixing up the park, there could even be a lot more environmental interactivity on offer. On that note, they've said they want to do a bunch of stuff in this universe, would be fun to see a spinoff that's more like that old Theme Park game by Bullfrog where you help Rambley revitalise the park and bring in new visitors, or build an entirely new park somewhere else.I saw mention at one point that apparently there's a hidden character somewhere in the chapter that nobody's found yet. I know from preview tweets that there's a pettable cat hidden somewhere, but I don't know if that's the same, or if anyone's found it already. If I had to guess I'd say there's something hidden in a special combination of those shapes in the ball pit.
>>482111205It doesn't take that much brainpower to figure why no one has, he's a none character. I forgot his name until you mentioned, because the player character is just a camera for us to control through the experience. He has no deeper connection to the events, never speaks, never reacts in any way, what is there to make a song about?
>>482111908Yeah, I see your point. There's little to go off besides the computer desk in the intro and the item descriptions for the collectables.
>>482118712I can see the resemblance

I'm wondering if any anons here are interested in Bendy Redrawn?
>>482196942Never heard of it, but i am interested in it now.
>>482197170It's an AU made by this guy, reimagining everything. Seems there's a lot of stuff going behind the project so this may be more interesting than a simple AU, it looks to be a fangame or something.https://x.com/blank_boyo/status/1793785291062522244

>>482210403That would be Rambly
>>482210403>>482210790Yeah, about the worst that can be said about Rambley is his priorities are a bit off, and he's clingy due to being alone so long.
crossover?
>>482131586>>482132827We're due for another Scary Movie but for this genreCall it something like "Five Nights with Poppy Playtime and the Ink Machine" and make it about a scientist that performs a ritual turning himself into a satanic cyborg that looks like a baseball team mascot and who now haunts a gruff old dude that never screams or reacts to anything scary.

>>482227629What does it mean though?

>>482214292this is a weird one
>>482230724Elon entirely removed the ability to display who liked a post on Twitter, so these exist as a way to get around that.

>>482235726It sure is
>>482189062>Story ModeI'll like to hear more about this! Like after finishing a character's arcade mode (Let's say uh, Banban is the character), will it take place inside the kindergarten or will this be like a whole different type of universe?If it's the latter, will there be a main character for story mode that we follow? An original character (could include some customization if the player wants to self-insert or whatever), or an already existing character?
>>482216054>a gruff old dude that never screams or reacts to anything scary.Reminds me of Willy's Wonderland
>>482246168Thay film already is the perfect mascot horror parody film, it will be upheld as predicting the future if Bendy and Poppy flop, believe that
>>482237969Oh yeah, i like that one.
>>482245775Story mode is the latter. Each arcade mode unlocks a new chapter in one of the story's perspectives.The story has four different perspectives with their own characters, locations enemies, etc. To give a comparison it's kinda like Sonic Heroes with four sides of the same story that overlap.
Just finished my 2nd playthrough of Signalis, got the "promise" ending intentionally following a guide. First ending was Memory. What an amazing game. Bought it after MBH recc'd it, compares strongly to Silent Hill and Resident Evil, though the top-down aspect makes it something else. I've seen people modding it to 3rd and 1st person though, which is a hell of a thing. Incredibly open to interpretation, and I like that. There's a bare sequence of events that clearly happens, but so much of the game is uncertain due to psychic powers and dream logic, the inclusion of Lovecraft stuff really helps to set the tone. Early on the game asked me if I wanted to pick up a copy of The King in Yellow, and that's when I knew shit was going to go down. Going for the Artifact ending next. Blows my mind that the devs hid a secret ending in fucking SSTV waves. Thank fuck for autists. Anyone else play this gem lately? Anything else like it?
>>482251654I started playing it last year but i have been procrastinating on it too much as i haven't gotten an ending yet.Well, actually, i only got the fake ending. I knew there was going to be one so after i got it i just turned the game off to take a break. I returned sometime after thinking it had saved automatically, but i managed.
>>482247436Hey, i'm sure Bendy will be a hit.
>>482252179Fake ending is only halfway through the game, like Nier: Automata. Finish the fight, anon. It's totally worth it. Set aside some time for grieving and moping though.
>>482181047I never knew they existed

>>482252565I will get back to it once my Switch is repaired.Also, you mentioned Lovecraft earlier. If you enjoy Lovecraft works i recommend The Sinking City, it's an open world survival horror based on his works. The gameplay is like Resident Evil 5 and 6 if you're into that with detective mechanics.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXhw7OcPw8Yhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziVUcxxvukMOh shit, and i just found out that there's going to be a sequel.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Hi78PvY2M8

So you guys wanna see more indie horror in fighting games?
>>482318117Will it be as out-of-place as Jason Vorhees in MultiVersus?
Alright trying to post here as /v/ is fucking garbage, so excuse the sort of repost.(Also is it poor etiquette to dual-post on the horror games general? I'm not sure how this board works and why there are two seperate horror threads.)I just finished Crow Country.It's pretty fun. The mechanic where bullets hurt less the further you are away from them is interesting i guess. Although the odd camera setup already makes it so you can't aim from too far away.I'm still not sure if I like it more than Alisa wich I also really enjoyed.Alisa felt a bit unfinished or random or vague in terms of its setting and storyprogression. But that has a new expansion incoming also soon.Crow Country feels a lot more polished and straightforward, everything about the story, environment and characters is relatively straightforwards and has a nice bow tied around it near the end in a satisfying way. except i forgot to read a certain note about a certain number near the end, oops!CC felt a lot more like Luigi's mansion than I expected. Both in terms of how aiming feels and the general goofy Nintendo vibe. Luigis mansion always felt more like a themepark to me than i consciously realized. Also rooms like pic related made it feel like animal crossing in a weird way too. Especially with the more cutesy pudgy characters looking n64ish.The game showered me in items a bit too hard. And that's with me actively not breaking wooden boxes until i hoped to find a melee weapon to break them to save even more bullets. I went pretty hard on finding everything so got all the 15 "secrets" scattered around according to a secret map I found, wich was overall a fun detour to think just a bit more about the environemnt you're in a step further.Didn't start the hard mode they added later though. Maybe i'll try that at some point but i'll have to wait for a bit so it feels more fresh again. Hopefully there's some more bonus stuff or modes when you beat it.
I'll try to post as spoiler free images that still sell the unique artstyle. It's really good looking. And even better it's good looking very consistently throughout with very little areas looking out of place or rushed.I'm a sucker for some fairytale stuff. Something I enjoyed in Alisa too. So seeing a bunch of mermaids and fairies, mushrooms besides the usual spooky monster stuff was sweet.
So i looked at the devs earlier titles and in general, i really hated how they looked and sounded. Kind of cool to see them suddenly make a game in a genre that is immediately the complete opposite and exactly what I enjoy.Did anyone else get to try it?
>>482319140No?
>>482319575>>482319724>>482320728I need a kino small game to play right now. Is this it?
>>482322780Yes. Short and sweet and "kino" if you will.Took me 10 hours but I went full completionist autism. I heard people finishing it in like 6 hours first try if they yolo'd it (it's not very hard either).
Behold, the face of evil!

>>482319575>(Also is it poor etiquette to dual-post on the horror games general? I'm not sure how this board works and why there are two seperate horror threads.)It would only be in poor taste if you reposted the whole thing across both. As for why there's two, /horg/ is for the genre in general and this one is for indie horror specifically.
>>482352071Right, specially didnt want to eat image limits like on other slow boards I browse.I just crosslinked to my posts in the other thread.There's quite some crossover between these threads so discussion going unnoticed or being fractured is something I wanted to help against.
>>482351267Yup
How likely do you guys think it is for a creator browsing the web or even just lurking 4chan to see an accurate theory about the upcoming plot of their game and be piqued into twisting the plot away from the predicted path in order to preserve the surprise, however irrational and detrimental to the game that might be?

>>482364242>kickstarter
>>482375576Well, the good thing is that there's already a good proof of concept that is also free for you to try and decide if you like it or not.
>>482372221the were probably doing Jurassic Park shit when they resurrected the virus trying to make more dinosaurs
>>482364242Wow, I hope that's enough for a 3rd or perhaps even a 4th gear puzzle this time around.
>>482363871It would depend on the creator in question, but it would be far from the first time it happened. Heck, DC Comics ordered their writers to change the twist identity of the villain from one of their event comics when the DC fans on UseNet correctly predicted the villain's identity well before the official reveal. If a big comics publisher can make that kind of blunder, so can indie horror game developers.
>>482376234>"Looks like this box needs some dry cells," Henry said
>>482364242Yes, I know I'm supposed to go "kickstarter le bad" like the rest of my fellow 4chan sheep, bit I can't in good conscience, not after partaking some successful snd relatively controversy-free Kickstarters myself.
>>482376867I'm not shitting in the fact that is a kickstarter, I just think that the developer is not competent enough to do something with that money, and that's definitely not enough to hire someone who can either. Then again, the game is super popular with furries, so a few of them might be ok with working for peanuts just to "be part of indigo park"
>>482377408Furniggers are absolutely pathetic. Any animal in a game summons them to hand over their hard earned stimulus checks, no matter the quality of the actual product. No one denies the first chapter of IP was shit, the dev has never made anything more advanced, the only other project under his belt is a BanBan 1 reskin, and if you think throwing money at the problem will fix it you are not smart enough to be trusted with a credit card.

I feel like "Algorithm Horror" or "Horror from the Algorithm" is a better descripter of this genre than indie or mascot horror.
>>482405580How come? They all are games about mascots, I'm not sure what algorithm you are talking about tho.
>>482406108Because the term includes more games and other media people are reluctant to include under the banner due to one or more discrepancy.>Iron Lung doesn't have a mascot that the horror is derived from>Little Nightmares is owned by BamcoBoth examples people would agree fit really well and share audiences with games covered by this thread. Both of those also saw a large chunk of their success from online discourse and coverage.>What algorithmThe systems of sites like Youtube, Tik Tok or X that recommend you stuff based on your interests and the interests of other people.

Hey /ihg/, I don't regularly come to /vg/ or interact with vidya communities because I'm a lazy ass, but I wanted to try out a new Yume Nikki fangame on Yume Nikki Online, but the page isn't loading for me. Neither the OG YN, Y2kki, nothing. Is this happening to anyone else too?
>>482407005I mean, the thread is mascot horror games because people want to talk about that specific sub genre of horror, the one that uses mascots as the main selling point. If you want a more broad discussion of horror games maybe just going to the horror games general would be better? Because your proposition basically makes this thread irrelevant as long as that one exist.
Had this idea for a semi-jokey semi-serious horror game, based on a kind of underwhelming recent anime with a cool concept, where an indie horror development studio would fuck up an experiment using AI generation and 5D AR technology (that was intended to create a horror game on the spot based on the specific fears of the player), which would cause their entire building to turn into a mishmash of different horror game concepts, like an area based on mascot horror, one based on analog horror, one based on PT clones, etc.
>>482408696Okay, I just realized that the thread is not in fact called "mascot horror general" but "Indie horror general" and that's my bad! Still, including non indie horror its irrelevant since the other thread exist.
>>482375576Not every kickstarter is a Mighty No. 9.
>>482408669I'm not having that problem but i hope you can solves this issue.

>>482468620>No Banban
>>482472830Fun.
Something I realized but Bendy and friends are the most equipped of any mascot character to handle the information that they're fiction. They've all already had at least 1 or 2 experiences where they find out they're just cartoons or puppets within their world, and their reactions range from apathy to disgust at their creation, when you'd expect that information would shatter their worldview and trigger existentialism.
Anyone else noticed that, much like the biological mascots, the Rambley mascot suit head you can find kind of looks like a bootleg version of the character? It's missing his pale parts entirely and the ears look kind of wrong.I wonder if that's significant, like both the suits and the bio-mascots were contracted out to some shady external company that didn't really give much of a crap about accuracy? Or maybe even safety?
>>482484456They know that they have transcended to the next dimension.
>>482484456Old cartoons have "fourth wall break" bits where they interact with their creators all the time, Henry literally appears at the end of the Tombstone Picnic cartoon for example (though Joey cut the rest of the cartoon out of the tape cus he was still seething)

Don't trust the raccoon AI. It knows more about what happened to the park than it lets on. Play along with it's demands long enough to secure the override codes.

>>482505960Enough with the pessimism Game Theory.
>>482411431Hey, I'm the anon from before. The issue is something with my pc, it's old as hell so anything that takes up too much ram makes the pages crash. Sigh.I can still play 2kki on my pc, but it's more fun on YNO due to the achievements and expeditions.
>>482511718Guy from before as well.I know how you feel. I myself want to play Identity V and Voices of the Void but my computer can't handle it.
>>482512246ID-V runs on mobile, what do you mean your computer can't handle it? lol
This image makes me horny in a way that I’m genuinely ashamed of myself for…
>>482512443IDV player here, there's a PC version for it but most of the player base is on mobile.
>>482511632Oh, hell, what garbage theory had GT extruded this time?
>>482516353They just think Rambley is / will be "evil" and Salem is a good guy (Led a mascot revolution, cause they were being mistreated) Its nothing scandalous at all
>>482517034Ah, so they're just going from incomplete information and expecting twists like other mascot horror games have done. I get it, but I've got two quibbles:-We still don't have enough information from what's in Chapter 1 to decisively finger the culprit in the shutdown of Indigo Park or uncover the secrets within it, and-The developer is a noted figure in the mascot horror fanbase, so we can presume he'll avoid the expected twists if he can present something that makes more sense for the story he's telling, more entertaining for the audience, or both.
>Backwards and distorted music starts playing
>>482517034>>482517878UniqueGeese has already said Rambley isn't evil.I didn't think he was anyway, but I do think Salem was a counterpart AI of his with a "park technician" role alongside her secondary "spot the villain" role on the AI tours, who rebelled. I think the main arc of the game will be reconciling the two and showing Salem that humans aren't all bad. She's too much of a cute and appealing design to be all a badguy in the game, and I suspect the implications in the fluff that she's a faux-evil "I'm going to claim friendship is icky and act all cool and edgy but I'm really a poorly-socialised secret super-nerd who just wants to be liked" type character will come into play, since if she is an AI she was probably as closely based on her cartoon counterpart as Rambley is on his. To put it another way, as a cartoon she gives me "Cute edgy scene-stealing top minion in season 1, wildcard in season 2, firm friend by season 3" vibes, and I don't think her AI version is likely all that different no matter how much she wants to think she is..I think this is going to be closer to My Friendly Neighbourhood than anything else, just without the FPS combat.(Couldn't find the official version of the profile, this edited one came from the wiki - text is original, it's just been touched up from the silhouette version with the actual character graphic and name. Underlining mine.)
>>482512246Fuuuuck, I get it. My pc's old as shit and I need to buy a new one, but it's hard buying a new computer in my country's economy. Specially since I neetmaxx (or doing a YN reference) because living is exhausting. At least there's some cool mobile games and some old emulators that my pc can run really well since it's got an old OS.>>482521174I can't imagine the severe back pains this guy must have.
>>482527640iirc The Operator doesn't have bones, his actual composition is impossible for us to understand and his physical form is only the best our minds can due to process him.
>>482521174I guess I'll die.
>>482512443It has a PC version as well. The problem is that IDV is a HEFTY game and is literally impossible to run on certain systems because of how huge it is.
>>482491162>Indigo contracted Umbrella to do their merchandising for them
>>482521174Slendy vs Ink Demon(who I'm pretty sure is the strongest mascot horror character) who wins?
>>482377408>and that's definitely not enough to hire someone who can either. There are several incredibly talented people who charge next-to-nothing for their services for horror projects. Hell, I feel the need to remind everyone here that MOB literally started out making FNAF content farm shit before they began doing Poppy and I highly doubt they had any real game dev experience prior to that. I'm not saying that Indigo might reach the same level as Poppy or Dark Revival or anything, but some of you are definitely overexaggerating the level of "competence" it requires to make a successful mascot horror.
>>482536131The Operator > The Ink DemonSlenderman is without exaggeration, a god or equivalent to one. He's far more hands off compared to other monsters but his mindbending and realitybending are unmatchable, there is simply nothing Bendy can do.
>>482416925>He's addicted to guards
>>482536395>but some of you are definitely overexaggerating the level of "competence" it requires to make a successful mascot horror.No one overexaggerates how much real effort or skill is needed to make a successful game of this genre (assuming success is just doing big player numbers and trending) because everyone here knows of BanBan, everyone.The actual place where the competence matters is in the real quality of the product. Fanbases and artfags will grow like a cancer off of everything, it doesn't need to be a good product to hook a few autists.
Anybody has any expectations for this?
>>482543616My one memory of this game was the developer liking porn I made of the hot candy girl on the game's Twitter account and then unliking it like a few minutes later. Besides that>NFTs>AI voices in trailer
>>482543616>>482544292tldr? Is this a Fnaf fangame or not?
>>482544704Technically, no. But it's obviously inspired and made by a group that made fnaf animationshttps://store.steampowered.com/app/2501620/Kandyland/
>>482536395Well, I guess we will have to wait and see how much they can milk Rambley's likeability.
>>482330145>He's in that position
A concern I've had regarding the Bendy movie is how they handle Henry. Having him spout out his current objective would get old pretty fast. He also doesn't do too much reacting to the actual events around him, just providing commentary. I could see them transforming him into a jaded hardass or maybe a cold father architype depending on how they handle Bendy and his creation.

content farms are testing the waters with this game
>>482561146>Lloyd and Rambley romancing each otherHold on now, they might be cooking
>>482561146This has been happening since the game came outWake me up when we get something on the level of kino that GoAnimate Caillou reached
>Horror game gets released>Has lots of jumpscares, big moments, and some characters (preferably an animal or some gimmick monster (objects, toys, ect))>Meaning it's easy for let's players to react and commentate on the game. Thus making content for the game is simple and easy money>Bigger, more child geared influencers playing the game drives up the popularity with kids and teens>Other forms of content creators take notice and make new fan songs, theories, art, ect. for the game>Game begins to trend across most social media spaces that kids and teens are interested in >Advertisers and suits watch these spaces to understand this demographic (the most lucrative by far)>Merch gets made, and down the line deals are signed with larger entertainment companies to produce books, manga, films and showsSo that's the timeline/formula?
>>482563083You dont even need jumpscares, look at indigo park. You just need good character design.
>>482565701Indigo has jumpscares, they just aren't good
>>482565970>>482565701You don't need jumpscares NECESSARILY, you just need something spooky and yet clearly visible to happen so youtubers can put it in thumbnails. A jumpscare is the easiest way to do that, but just having the spooky monster's face be clearly visible for a long period of time also works just fine
>>482552607>like the time Tumblr got pissed because Sammy Lawrence was racist in the first Bendy book and that didn't fit their "just a widdle quirky cultist uwu" vision of himWait really?
>>482571016Yes, I forgot exactly what was in it but in Dreams Come to Life our main character Jew is despised by Sammy, as are his black and gay friends, all are hated by Sammy. Though I think the author was going for more of a Squidward like characterization.
I've got an Indigo Park shit post I wrote on a whim. It gets spicy with the language, think I'll get banned if I post a rentry link?

>>482571896Also a bit where he talks with Thomas Connor (who they never explicitly say is black but it's heavily implied by people being surprised he managed to go to college) and Tom says that Sammy "isn't used to giving people like (him) his respect"
>>482572615>>482572638Some very suggestive language, but it's whatever. Damn, 4chan will not let me post the link. Here, just punch this (6yk3n88v) after the / in the rentry url.So much work for a shit post made on a whim, baka.

>>482565970A credit I'll give Indigo's jumpscares is that they show the MC actually getting brutally murdered rather than a jumpscare and a fade to black/red. Most games just don't bother.

Between shipwrecked 64, indigo park, and happyfunland, why are so many mascot horror games coming out that take place in theme parks
>>482690816Oh wait, there’s also crow country, seriously, what’s with thos
>>482690816I guess the idea was novel when all of them started development but ended up releasing very close together. Honestly I'm surprised we don't have more games in toy factories given how many fast food mascots we had before.
>>482690816>>482690958>Chuck E Cheese is on it's deathbed and kids stopped visiting them ages ago>Factories and studios are too boring and foreign to kids and always need some looney tunes architectural design to be interesting>Theme parks are still visited by all ages and are large and wonder-filled enough to make a setting without to much suspension of disbelief
>>482691351Makes sense, somewhat related but I could honestly see nintendo continuing the trend of horror games taking place in theme park with luigi’s mansion 4 by having luigi explore a ghost filled one
Are Indigo Parkfags just the Sonicfags of the current year?>Defending an objectively shit product because it has anthros that make them horny

That shitty mascot horror with the "dinosaur" got a sequelIt feels like they're trying to out bad BanBan and failinghttps://youtu.be/IR3jJsNkcIs?si=Z4gHp2lZKDAHjxcf
>>482761417>dinosaurYou sure that isn't just a one-eyed camel?
>>482649485Thank you.
Why chapter based releases? That has to be the single biggest red flag for all of these games, why not just release the full package all at once?
>>482761417This is embarrassing, but the most embarrassing thing is that fact they have rip-off versions of DogDay and CatNaphttps://youtu.be/IR3jJsNkcIs?si=6vbp1ZUUkSsZflYs&t=2010https://youtu.be/IR3jJsNkcIs?si=iyaDdEDyyHf9-IML&t=2530I think this game learned the wrong lesson from PPT3 and BanBan. They saw that PPT had these popular animal characters, so added those without any extra context of charm behind them to actually get people invested. And they saw that BanBan had success with it's randomness without realizing BanBan only succeeds by being so bad it's funny, this is just so bad is awful.
>>482772986It allows games to get released ASAP while keeping people invested in theories of what's coming next. Basically the same affect as a tv show with high continuity.I don't agree with it but it works.Kinda started with FNAF when Scott released four games in a year but wouldn't become the staple until Bendy did it with its chapters. (Ironically enough Bendy did it technically by accident and it has stopped doing it since)
Okay guys give it to me straight. Is analog horror now ALL shitty film student productions?
Also re indie horror games — does anyone actually play them, let alone spend money on them? It feels like it’s a sub-genre now specifically for streamers and YouTube content creators.
>>482778164Pretty much.>>482778347Indie horror doesn't actually sell nowadays, they're all just made for streamers to overreact to causing their kids audience to go buy the toys. Horror games are just an advertisement now.Although thankfully that's starting to change but not by much as the majority of the people into indie horror are kids watching E-celebs who can't afford it unless they get their parent's credit card.
You guys like MMD?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-kUYnv1Hls
>>482778164Yes
>>482778347>does anyone actually play them, let alone spend money on them?What if I told you the only indie horror I've ever actually spent money on was Mr. Hopps playhouse 2 lmao (unless you count DbD & TCM for some reason)Not to say those are the only indie horror's I've ever played mind you.
>>482778164No. Analog horror is just one part of the unfiction genre and a very variable one. GREYLOCK is analog horror for instance.>>482778347Plenty of people spend money on them, but you're unlikely to find those here.
Should I be ashamed of myself for enjoying Indigo Park, even though it's free and I didn't back the Kickstarter for chapter 2?
What are anons thoughts on Iron Lung and that space-based game like it forgot the name? Does the gameplay loop tend to bore the player over time and lessen the tension?
>>482797128But whenever I search for unfiction all I see are film students.
>>482800161I don't get why those things would make you ashamed of enjoying Indigo Park.Do you perhaps mean "Should I be ashamed of not backing the Kickstarter even though I enjoyed the free Chapter 1?"? It certainly wasn't mandatory, and it did just fine without you. Personally I would say "no", but it's up to you.
>>482800161Uh, no? The product its free, if they wanted money so bad they could charge for it. Chapter 2 is going to be paid anyways so you can always support them by buying that.
>>482801057>>482803061Let me rephrase that. Should I be ashamed of myself for liking Indigo Park when the 4chan consensus is that it's a shit game that is propped up by furry pandering and being made by a YouTube celebrity?
>>482803628Why would you ever pay attention to the 4chan consensus on anything? This most of this site is loud, relentlessly-negative assholes. I'm only here myself because they can sometimes be loud relentlessly-negative funny assholes and in between the assholes there are some people worth talking to.The game is kind of simplistic, but there's indications they want to improve on that in Chapter 2 and whatever they want to re-do about Chapter 1. There's also obvious care and passion put into it, especially in the writing, animation and voice acting for Rambley, which makes me hopeful that the other characters will be just as interesting when properly introduced. Personally it feels to me much less like meme- and streamer-bait than the other games in the genre, though there's definitely an element of that for sure.
>>482803628Should a pig be ashamed of wallowing in mud? The answer is the pig doesn't give a shit so why should you? Not to mention that people who criticizes you for the things you like most likely also like things that are objectively shit.
>>482803628You listen to /v/ too much.

>>482831646Don't sweat it.What's the barrier for entry? Is there any p2w or is it just skill?
>>482832448Just skill on which survivor/hunter you play as. But for the first time you're playing, you're going to get bots or lower level players who have no game sense (or smurf accounts). The only thing you have to pay for are skins that you really want.
>>482833903 (Me)Oops I forgot, but you only start off with few survivors/hunters who are free. To unlock the rest you have to play more to earn clues (currency for every player), THEN you can get them. Or buy them with echoes (in-game currency that you pay with irl moola.)But I do have to say that the community is toxic towards new players.

Why is it that the monsters in these games are often overly sympathetic and loaded down with tragic backstories? It really defangs them as monsters.

>>482958519Skill issue
>>482957717Because he is from a content farm channel and the videos that feature him were released at the height of BanBan's popularity last year when all the controversy was starting and people actually cared about how bad and weird it was. Look at these view counts, this series made by a channel called Buggy Huggy was dominant in the YTKids space for those few months between GoBB1 and GoBB3. He somehow figured out how to make content even fast than the brothers made games and since he needed to make new episodes almost daily he created a pantheon of OC characters.
Has there ever been a mascot horror game about a cruise ship, they’re like the mobile nautical cousin of theme parks

>>482101794I just want to askhttps://strawpoll.com/3RnYXppWWye
>>483016120Does it count even if i haven't played the games but still know enough about them?
>>483017562Yes
>>4830161205 Participants but none of them have 4 votes, let alone 5. I would've thought there'd be at least 1 game in there everyone in a "indie horror general" can agree they're fans of lmao
>>482962698I still fail to understand how something like this can turn a profit. What is the business model?
>>483032159>New game popular with kids>Game only releases new content every few months or once a year>In between releases, make fake leak videos>The average video is about 2 minutes long, so it's easily consumable so it can get on average a million views within the next workweek>This covers the cost of any programs used to animate and edit the videos>The game's popularity handles the marketing since kids will be searching for it>New technologies like AI voices can improve the quality of the videos with minimal extra cost>Can create a new video every workweek or less>This quickly creates a massive backlog of videos which will generate hundreds of millions of views
>>483018669The poll was still young.Not that Anon by the way.Current top 5 are FNAF with 6 votes, Bendy, Amnesia and Slenderman with 5 votes and Banban, Poppy and RPG Maker horrors teid for 5th with 4 votes.
>>483036420>AI>Improves video qualityOne of these channels got shit on for using AI voices.People prefer real voices.
>>483039902People can shit on them all they want, its the kids views that are making them bank, not adult fans seeing it for what it is
>>483040742Still unethical and low quality. Kids like it? Well then that just proves kids don't care nor want quality, just mindless distractions.
>>483041531I mean I remember being 11 and watching shit like Piemations and Cartoon Fight Club not noticing the obvious flaws in how bad the animation was. It takes a little bit before you start to get a real taste for quality.
>>483041531Kids eat what's given to them dude, if they're shown high quality cartoons that any age can enjoy (Hello Avatar?) they'll love it. If a parent shoves a tablet into their hands and has that play nanny and just distract them, that's what they'll get enjoyment out of.cause its the only thing that'll show up to them (Nice job YouTube algorithm)

i wonder if this place will stay around long enough to consider a divegrass team
>>483041868>>483042365True. Honestly i was just venting a bit.
>>483048320>divegrass teamOh?
>>483048871refer to >>482767907tl;dr:>fantasy soccer using pro evolution soccer but with teams representing /vg/ threads
>>483049385Sweet, how many characters for a team? I'll make one.
>>483049545you'd have to ask the coordinator(s) and probably know a little about modding pes 2019(?)
>>483050179Ah. Where can i ask?
You guys like Slay the Princess?
>>483053104never played it but I watched a guy play the demo ages a go. Any good? also I do like the statue
>>483057473It's a good horror visual novel with horrific imagery and a deep story about love.
OK /ihg/ we gotta prepare a team for November's divegrass tournament. We have plenty of time so no need to rush. We need 23 characters and a team symbol. Any suggestions are welcomed. And don't worry about height as characters will be scaled to appropriate size, just not too many big characters.So far we have.Bendy/Ink Demon (Bendy series)Jumbo Josh (Garten of Banban)Rambley (Indigo Park)Elster (Signalis)Slenderman (Slender series)Servant Grunt (Amnesia series)Madotsuki (Yume Nikki)Bucky Beaver (Shipwrecked 64)Thoughts on our team so far?Note: The image i'm using does not represent what the final team will be.
>>483058952
>>483058952For neutrality purposes I propose we send The Player to be the PPT rep
>>483058952Cat nap is a mustHim and his gay lover are like the most marketable characters on here
>>483065029>his gay loverlmao
>>483058952Maybe we could use 2 characters of a few series? I don't think any of us can think of a couple more ihg games except for the ones we mostly talk about in here(I would also like to elect Mono from Little Nightmares and any Puppet Combo antagonists.)
>>483058952Aka Manto
>>483058952if two characters from the same series is allowed how about olive otter
>>483058952This is obvious
>>483058952Amanda from Amanda the AdventurerThe Neighbor from Hello Neighbor
>>483090490Scratch that, only include the Neighbor if you have no one else
>>482101794Smiling Critter Ship Names
>>483092593Like I said in the PPG thread, Dogday+Kickin is Puppynugs, CatNap+Kickin is CoolCat, and everyone just calls Crafty+Kickin is Kickincorn. Some of these listed names are really bad.
>>483058952>Spooky>Mama Tattletail>Showdown BanditWe can make our team name something like "The Mascots" or some meme insteadMy idea for a symbol is to take a character exclusive to the general like BanBan and make him look like a college sports mascot. You know the look, excessively tough, clean but varied line width and lots of shine.
>>483093490Please do not lump the rest of the mascot horrors in with Banban...
How do you fix it?
>>483098840Make it linear with a bunch of spooky pre-made encounters along the way instead of a giant open map. That way you can have actual level design instead of just spamming Staff Bots everywhere cus you need to do SOMETHING with all that empty space. Of course I'd still have the map APPEAR pretty big and have a bunch of side optional rooms to fit into the giant mall asthetic, but just strategically block off certain areas so that you'd need to follow a straight line to get from point A to B. Like for example, I'd still have the atrium have all the different attractions spread around it cus that makes logical sense, but I'd have certain hallways gated off or blocked by furniture meaning you'd have to take detours around one attraction to get to another, like vent ducts or underground staff-only areas (you can even incorporate this with the Freddy upgrades by allowing him to open shortcuts to previous areas (for collecting optional stuff) with the claws and voice box).Also I'd have more Music Man wall holes spread around the location so he could actually come into the main stage and play music there.
>>483098840make it actually focus on horror
>>483098840Actually commit to the open pizzaplex bit and stuff it full of side objectives and shit to do. And make Vanny an actual threat present in the game as she was teased to be, along sith tense chase sequences.So basically, just do what the game was actually supposed to be before 90% of it was left on the cutting room floor.

>>483130709Gregory
>>482957908Speaking of those things, I bought some from Aliexpress about a week ago. They're about exactly what you would expect for their price point of $5 and $10 respectively: Knockoff bootleg shit.As much as I hate being a shill: You're better off with the overpriced ones that are going to cost you $42 on Makeship.
>>483130709Replace Player with Huggy if we're also adding CatNap to the team, I only wanted him because I though we could only get one character a series
>>482102052Wake up, /ihg/ANOTHER Indigo Park YTP just dropped!https://youtu.be/_gIcSm2D7U0
>>483134948Baby is a better choice
>>483130709-Makes no sense to have Player if Catnap is going to be in anyway. If they're going to have 2, it should be Catnap then Huggy-Why would you add Alice over Bendy? Its his own game and he's the most popular lol-I feel like The Easter Ripper from murder house would be better than Abductor, but either way aren't they a bit too fucked up to be added?100% need to have Ao Oni as a RPG maker Mascot btw (And I'd like Mr. Hopps to be in)
>>483130709Can we swap Banban for Sherrif Toadster? He's like the only good character from that series
>>483134948>>483147162>>483154343>>483158424>>483159668OK Player is replaced by Huggy, Banban is replaced by Toadster, Abductor is replaced by Eater Ripper and Circus Baby is added as our 23rd member.>Why would you add Alice over Bendy?I didn't, Bendy is one of the first 8 as listed here >>483058952
>>483058952>>483162989No shot Banban get 2 characters instead of adding other franchises (like Ao Oni)
>>483164034Well Banban got 2 due to how much this general discusses it but if you want Ao Oni in then i wouldn't be against it just pick a character you'd like to see replaced.
>>483164443https://strawpoll.com/3RnYXppWWye/resultsRather just not have 2 from Banban, but could probably remove Mama Tattletail or Showdown Bandit. Probably mama cause they look really dumb to me
>>483165082I say we can take out both Showdown Bandit and Mama Tattletail.Mama for reasons you provided and Bandit because his game just bombed, huge embarrasement. Say what you want about Banban but at least that actually became successful.So we can add Ao Oni but that'll still leave one more. I think it should be a character not from a mascot horror this time so perhaps an Outlast character, like Chris Walker.
>>483093490How's this?
>>483168832
>>483168832Shouldn't be Banban, too many people hate it here, let alone outside the community. and it should be Freddy since FNAF made (at least Mascot) indie horror popular anyway
>>483093416>Dogday+Kickin is Puppynugs, CatNap+Kickin is CoolCat, and everyone just calls Crafty+Kickin is Kickincorn. Some of these listed names are really badThe names you listed are even worse
>>483168832Looks like a character icon for Crash Team Racing, nice.>>483169064Cute!>>483169734Keep in mind that this is more than just mascot horror.But if you guys don't want Banban then how about MatPat? Seems comically fitting.
I feel like we should use our good bud Slenderman as our symbol for old times' sakes. Or at least something nostalgic for other users.
>>483171651Well he is the granddaddy of indie horror.
>>483171651 (Me)On second thought, maybe not? Due to /exeg/ existing and all that.
I am thankful for /4ccg/. Thanks to them this general is getting more activity.
>>483172920Makes me wonder how many of us would be active here when it starts.
>>483173147It will give this general the boost it needs.
I'm a little confused, is Bendy like jekyll and hyde? Where his different forms are different sides of his personality or is he more like two entities inside the same body?
>>483178889At first there was only the Ink Demon who was made in Bendy's image by Joey Drew, the reason why he came out of the Ink Machine so fucked up is because he's the only ink creature without a soul.Then Wilson eventually found his why into the cartoon world and he capture the Ink Demon and experimented on it on how to kill it. He learned that it's impossible to actually kill the Ink Demon but he at the very least managed to create a device that weakens it turning him into Bendy.TL;DR the Ink Demon was made to be a real life version of a cartoon character and would eventually become depowered and trapped inside of the form of the cartoon he's based on. All in all it's the same guy just knocked out of Super Saiyan.
>>483170369In Indigo Park Chapter 3, there is a puzzle where you need to input a four-digit code. If you input 1987, you will get a Gambley jumpscare.
Something I realized, Sammy is blind. Not just the mask obscuring his vision, he doesn't have eyes like the other lost ones.
>>483168832I think it could work

Was NabNab designed to be inferior to everyone else?
>>483205519maybe but I think he's just like that
>>483205519He was designed to be the opposite of BanBan
>>483205519He's not inferior, he's just more feral.

Is anyone else unnerved by the look RamblAI gets when it's playing system messages and audio files?
>>483259101it's not unnerving but it make me wonder in universe why he was programmed to twitch like that
has anyone else seen any other indigo park ocs?
>>483229743True that.
>>483272615Awful
>>483261521The programs added it as a failsafe in case the park collapsed and they needed to turn it into a horror setting
>>483286786Great, now it's guaranteed that the automated security system will hijack Rambley and use him to eliminate the intruder in the park.With lethal force.
What's her problem?
>>483328827Anger issues and anxiety.
Can't wait for all the soccer OC.
>>483165608Speaking of, do you think there's still room on the team?
>>483333613I'm sure we can replace Baldi or Jumbo Josh.
>Fnaf Henry>Neglectful dad and autist>Bendy Henry>Just gives up on his creations after they get taken from himWhy are dudes named Henry such assholes?

I thought MatPat retired, why is he still invovled with Fnaf theorydom?
>>483348252Even when he leaves the mark he left on the community will never go away.

AT INDIGO PARK(at indigo park)
>>483365701thanks anon I will try
>>482505960I will not tolerate this slander. The creator himself said that Rambley is your buddy the whole way through and that Game Theory is wrong. I don't think Rambley understands what the hell happened. Who I think probably does however is Salem because I believe that Rambley and Salem are the park's two A.I systems. Rambley is the Guest AI while Salem is the Security/Technician AI. Rambley's system only allows him to see through cameras that can see a guest or staff, therefore that is why he has been confined to the entrance. However if Salem is a partner AI, she has had her eye on us and the entire Park at once and knew exactly what was happening with the mascots. I don't think she's the villain here though, I think she's gonna be more of reluctant ally who's antagonistic at first. In the official music video of "Rambley's Review" Rambley doesn't even think he killed Molly in the staff room.
>>483396223
>>483371849MY CREDIT CARD GOT DECLINED!!!i'M LOSING MY MIND!!!!!!
>>483399576Eyy, Salem-is-Rambley's-counterpart-AI-theory buddies! Though I think the other characters were embodied as AIs too simply for the reason that I think they'll be wasting the characters and VAs if they don't do that.[spoilers]Not sure if the other AIs had any job besides "entertain the guests", though.More theories on Indigo Park:>The IRL Rambleberry isn't just a one-off joke, it actually did pop out of the machine - the arcade machine has been altered by Salem (her programmers excelled themselves when making her a genius commensurate with her cartoon archetype) into a prototype for extracting digital entities from cyberspace and freeing them into the real world, something she wants to do for all of them; this is why it glitches out, as it's not stable yet. A gag will be attached in which she is confirmed to have come up with the idea after watching Tron (a hint at her intrinsic geekiness).>The Mollie in the cage isn't just a hint that there's a second Mollie in the park, it's literally the Mollie AI trapped inside the arcade machine as the test subject for the "rezzing" system, and we'll rescue her soon.>We will be led to believe Salem resentfully destroyed all her merch in protest at her imposed "false" identity, but we will discover that in fact she hoarded it all in a safe location because no matter how torn about it she is, it still represents happy memories with her friends from before she went rogue. This will be a big clue to the fact that she hasn't totally rejected who she used to be.>Salem herself will at first appear as a pair of eyes on a screenful of static. Notably, they will be her original cartoon eyes, as a nod to the mythological trope of magical creatures being unable to change their eyes no matter what form they take. It'll be another big clue that no matter how much she resents it, she's still Salem on the inside.
>>483407190They got $849,972 for the development of the game, I think they got money for voice actors.That's $292,722 from Kickstarter and a whopping $557,250 from over 18,000 Rambley plushies sold at $30.The furries gave Uniquegeese more money than he currently knows what to do withHoly fuck those first 2 theories make a lot of sense
>>483416938It's proof that furries are dumber than children, even they moved on from this shit after the first day
>>483424130rude butthole
>>483424130>even they moved on from this shit after the first dayYou know you gain nothing from lying right? It just makes you look stupid lol
Enough in fighting.
>>483428883Comes with the territory of a general for such a large amount of different games. Funny its only Poppy and Indigo that gets this kind of hate though hmm (Even Banban only gets snide remarks at worst)
https://twitter.com/S_K_Y_2/status/1795830910887309575
>>483416938>They got $849,972 for the development of the game, I think they got money for voice actors.Oh, I wasn't saying they didn't, I was just saying that if they keep the other characters as non-interactive recordings around the park they're wasting the potential of the VAs.Then again they've also said they want to do short clips of "real" cartoons from the Rambley and Pals series now they have the money, so I guess the VAs will be getting a workout there, with all the characters interacting. It'll still be pretty sad if Rambley's totally delusional about the existence of his "friends", though, and they were never sapient AIs like him.>Holy fuck those first 2 theories make a lot of senseI have a basis for the third one, too: All Salem's merch is missing from the gift shop... except for her keychains, which whoever cleared her stuff out seemingly missed. This plus her tour room being thoroughly destroyed form the basis for my theory that Salem has rejected her own identity and tried to erase it from the park, as mentioned last thread,, which in turn leads into my fourth theory above.
>>483430297BanBan gets overhated to hell and back on every single platform, it's easy to root for them at least here
>>483444181It gets hated for having terrible gameplay though, not just because "eww furries"Even the fans here admit its not a good game, they just like the lore / aesthetic lol
>>483404832TILL ALL MY OLD FRIENDSAREUNITED AGAIN
>>483445538IP gets hate for shit gameplay
>>483446272Its not good, I wouldn't call it shit. And even if it was shit, its not even close to as bad as Banban and some other cashgrabs
>>483446914I should rephrase as "Its not scary" which for a horror game isn't good. Rambley for most people is very fun to watch, and he's technically "gameplay"
>>483447246How would you make it scary from Chapter 2 onwards?And what's a good LP of Chapter 1?
>>483454717There are ways to make chapter 1 scarier, mostly involving making it less jank and the models/animations look better (I'm too lazy to go more into detail)>SpoilerHonestly its such a short chapter you should really just play it yourself https://store.steampowered.com/app/2504480/Indigo_Park_Chapter_1/I was running around looking for collectables/secrets and it still only took me an hour to beat.https://youtu.be/MmVTGHfdzYc?si=4eIpfRystU64EKxe MBH is kind of my go to for lil indie horror game playthroughs nowadays though (Unless I just want pure gameplay no commentary then its just whoever's I see first)
>>483446914Anon it is a bad gameplay experience"Walk forward until scripted thing happens" is not fun, no matter what they scripted shit is if the gameplay is lacking the entire experience is rotten
>>483468740Literally a matter of opinion. Some people like "interactive movie" type games, which I wouldn't go as far to say Indigo is.
>>482251654>Anyone else play this gem lately?I've played it a while ago for the first time and now I'm on my 5th playthrough. I love this game so much.
>Be me, non-furry>Genuinely love Scott's Fnaf>Atmosphere and animatronics looked cool, lore was interesting, ever evolving, and different, didn't require you to invest too much into hardware to play>Years pass, Scott leaves main development, Steel Wool shits out SB, universally hated>Yet people still flock around it's characters like Roxy>"Huh? Why wouldn't they just draw and stick with the characters from the good games?">Think nothing of it>Later that year Poppy Playtime releases>Obvious it's a soulless cashgrab, you know the story of the nfts and tons of merch out the gate and the content farms ran on the side>Fast forward to early 2024, Poppy gets back in the indie new cycle for the new Chapter>Complete 180 in public opinion, yet this looks like the same game, same scares same characters>Expect the new ones, Critters...>Turns out everyone sucking the game's dick is also fanboying over this line of characters>Check them out, most are a single piece of artwork and some voice lines. The only two in the actual game get shipped to hell and back, with thousands of pieces of smut art almost overnight>Game has its history effectively rewritten because of furfags>Think this is retarded>Months later, Indigo Park releases>Immediate overnight success, for basically nothing, it's the most derivative shit you can imagine from the mascot horror genre, unoriginal story, lazy character designs and non-existent gameplay, all it has is a single annoying raccoon that talks all the time>Furfags eat it up>tfw you realize the reason other games in this shitheep genre aren't popular isn't because they are shit, it's because they don't have animals front and center>tfw you realize few people would probably have cared about Fnaf if it didn't have animals by thematic choice
>>483476643Finally someone gets it. It has never been mascot horror, it has always been furry horror.Even in the early days of FNAF all the OCs were more furry than animatronic.Why else do you think Bendy, Baldi, Amanda and dare i say Banban didn't get as much recognition? Minimal furry appeal.
>>483476643>SB universally hatedCause it was a game released with an insane amount of bugs and it was like nothing that's ever been been done in the series before. The designs and the lore it added were cool/interesting though.>Nothing about Poppy changedJust say you've never seen or played the games instead lmao. Ch1 had no scares outside the chase at the end and was practically a tech demo. Ch2 had us interact with the monster too much and made her too familiar to be scary. Ch3 had a MASSIVE jump in quality in atmosphere and shocked everyone with Dogdays "death" scene that's probably the most brutal thing that's ever been shown in a indie (mascot) horror game. The hour of joy actually getting shown at the end, instead of implied / alluded to like every other indie game out there is also huge. People went crazy over Miss. Delight as well btw>Indigo Park is unoriginal, lazy, and the Raccoon is annoyingName a single horror game where you go to a disneylike amusement park. Literally what is "lazy" about those designs? Cause you don't like them? Finding Rambley annoying is your opinion.>FNAF would never have been popular if they weren't animalsJust say you're some edgy teenshit with 0 knowledge about the genre cause you're too young to have grown up around it, who hates furries and save everyone's time next time.>>483478979Bendy got MASSIVE recognition when it released and people still glaze it up today. It wasn't even a good game. Bendy is exactly what "both" of you fags claim about the "furry" games
>>483442925Who?
>>483486809>Cause it was a game released with an insane amount of bugs and it was like nothing that's ever been been done in the series before.I don't contest this, I said it implicitly because I then said ">Yet people still flock around it's characters like Roxy"> the lore it added were cool/interesting thoughNo.>Just say you've never seen or played the games instead lmaoPlayed 1 seen the rest, fundamentally it's the same across them all. The jumpscares are worse since the new character's don't move their mouths. Atmospherically it's identical to the section of 2 where you run around the service tunnels playing hide and seek, neither this or the actual locations here are scary the first 30 seconds.> Literally what is "lazy" about those designs? There isn't a theme or anything special about them. The monsters as we see them are just mutated animals, they don't try to add anything to this, no visual hints to draw what they are, they're just stock monsters. Fnaf has it's killers be very obviously robots wearing suits, Poppy (before CatNap) tries to make it's monsters look like toys, but there isn't anything more going on behind the designs of Indigo Park, they are just demon monster things.> "both"
>>483486809Bendy was big but you gotta admit that it's not as big as it used to be, especially compared to Poppy Playtime despite Dark Revival being the better game and the Bendy series having less controversy around it.
>>483488648I think that's Elster's girlfriend.
>>482101794Who's made the better Reverse Smiling Critters?Pachi or Eggritos?
>>483489029>Yet people still flock around it's characters like Roxy"Cause they're cool designs which for the first time in the series you can actually believe kids would like to be around>No.lmao>Didn't counter Indigo's location not being unoriginal lmao>Worse cause they don't move their mouthslmao what. Learn what atmospheric horror is btw>Atmospherically it's identical to the section of 2 where you run around the service tunnels playing hide and seekThere's 0 belief that you're in danger during that section, you know you're in a puzzle area and nothing will happen to you. Catnap on the other hand can be seen stalking you the entire chapter, and you're put on extreme edge in home sweet home in those dark hallways. >Also didn't say anything about Miss. Delight being popular >The monsters as we see them are just mutated animals, they don't try to add anything to thisLiterally could be lore reasons for this, we're 1 chapter into the game dude. Though it is more likely the game that had 0 budget and was practically a tech demo just didn't have enough resources to make the monster versions of them look better, good thing it just made a huge amount of kickstart money and the dev says he'll be retouching ch1 to improve it, and ch2 will be way better.>Poppy (before CatNap) tries to make it's monsters look like toysThe lore has shown that these are living beings that have been experimented on and turned into monstrosities. It'd be weirder if every one of them were successes and looked exactly like giant toys.>>483489646>it's not as big as it used to beThe game from 2017 that had a ending even the glazers didn't like, and was left to rot till 2022 with nothing but some weird strategy spinoff in 2020 isn't as popular as it was when it released? Shocking...
>>483489646>>483491904 (me)In fact looking at the # of steam reviews 2017 and 2022 have, you'd barely think the hype has died down. 2017 has 15,500 90% positive reviews vs 2022's 9,770 94% positive. And that Bendy movie got announced like a year ago or whenever it was. Its clearly still got a decent chunk of popularity (Whether it deserves it or not I can't say)
>>483476643Where the hell do you weirdos come from with enough resentment to write this much about PPT/IP when you're in a thread where some people unironically like Banban? Where the hell's the long ass write-ups about how lazy and bad that is? Just let people enjoy shit, no one cares that you hate furries

>>483491904>>483492480You know (Or at least should know) dame well that we're talking about fanbase activity here.And no, what you said about Bendy in the first post doesn't apply as that's far from the reason, like i said Poppy Playtime went through worse, in fact i'd even say that FNAF went through worse as well due to everything surrounding Security Breach.Why is it so hard to accept that furries are what's boosting popularity?
>>483503984Boosting =/= the only reason they took off which is clearly what >>483476643 is saying. Literally who cares either way? Choose to like the games or don't.
>>483505229No one is saying that's the reason why they took off, now you're making up a completely different feud to fight against.Also people should care considering we live in the day and age where fanbases scare people away from entertainment, especially furries. Just look at what happened to the Sonic fanbase, or the pony show fanbase.

>>482102052tldr?
>>483534442TL:DR signs in the game point to the park either just having undergone a big shakeup or about to have one when it was shut down.Most people think it had just had one, which replaced Lloyd with Rambley as the "main character", whereas I think Lloyd was about to replace Rambley, and an attempt to keep things how they were by one of the AIs might have caused whatever disaster ruined it all.

Is it weird that I kinda want a mascot game where they aren't trying to kill you?Like, they're still brutal and somewhat terrifying, but aiming their violence elsewhere?Maybe I'm just tired and done with the genre, but I feel like constructs based on such upbeat and nice creatures could do other stuff then murder innocents and mean staff, imagine if they came alive to fight a dystopia, or rebuild civilization after the apocalypse with their cartoony morality and good values....yes I know this is the horror general, but still.
>>483640535It'll probably always be stuck to the fringe nerd communities as large worldbuilding projects like what you'd see with a concept like that aren't super appealing to the masses. I actually had an idea today to write a scenario where Playtime Co. takes over the world and their toy creatures become the world's citizenry, might have to write that as a book or fanfic since the idea of these things that are similar but extremely loony creating societies is fun to think about.
>>483640535Won't lie, imaging Rambley slotted into a Mr House role with an army of mascot buddies replacing Securitrons and/or the themed casino gangs, is an appealing thought.
>>483640535Mascot horror but instead of the mascot trying to kill people they're entertaining them by taking out their violent tendencies on each other in professional wresting.
Anyone play or watch this game before? (I haven't) https://store.steampowered.com/app/2933290/Nightmare_Files_Clap_Clap/
>>483640535I just want something that embraces Willy's Wonderland and gives us combat. For funs, and to shift the genre to the bad 00s "horror" games so it can finally die.
Do liminal spaces actually work as horror? Was the Backrooms ever really that scary (ie as opposed to just creepy)?
Am I allowed to shill my game/dump keys here? I put a horror game on itch, but I'm quickly learning that itch gives me very little visibility by itself.
>>483650385I just think they're cozy, but I hate being around people so I guess if you're used to living in crowded urban settings they'd be offputting
>>483640535I've actually thought of something like this before like a mascot horror game that takes place during the initial incident and the player is an escape mascot that snagged a gun off a security guard and is trying to escape
>>483650404Go ahead man

>>483716778Someone in these threads has said they're working on something like that (they're getting sued within 5 minutes lmao)
I keep seeing youtubers claim that The Pools is the greatest Liminal Space game ever — but there’s literally nothing liminal space about it. It’s a series of mazes with centerpieces and semi-linear progression. So, just being creepily similar and alone is liminal horror?
>>483671548Yes, exactly. Spice up the formula.Heaven forbid that characters that still brought joy and happiness to people's childhoods even if the older puppets were a bit creepy, represent that aspect of themselves at all. But I guess everything good in the world has to be subverted/perverted by rapidly wrinkling millennials bitter over working in these places being hard work and nothing original they make having any longtime fans/nostalgia.That post about the kid not even knowing what inspired the mascot beasties makes me kinda sad, and wonder if in like 20 year kids will only ever know the bad reinventions of the good stuff like Disney Star Wars or similar....boy did this post wander off track. Still posting it though cause fuck subversion and fuck mascot horror.

Luv ElsterLuv Ariane Simple as
>>483716778Never. It's not that the Nintendo wouldn't allow horror games: I'm pretty sure Metroid counts as a sci-fi horror series. The problem is: Who are they even going to add? In most of these game, the protagonists are faceless and they don't have enough material to make a moveset. The monsters? Usually they add the protagonists first and they also lack material for movesets (even if to a lesser degree).
>>483716065Thanks. Although i am currently pitching it to people, have yet to find a team, but i'm not giving up.
>>4837645351. Who says it has to be Nintendo?2. The monsters have moveset potential. Keep in mind that Captain Falcon was just a guy in a car so a character like Bendy would have lots more to work with.(Fun fact Bendy actually almost got into a platform fighter but i digress)

>>483764845>(Fun fact Bendy actually almost got into a platform fighter but i digress)well which one?

>>483768315dafug is that roster. Literally only character I recognize is Pico, and that's going back a LOOOOONG ways...
So…is cosmic horror something can translate well into an indie game production?
>>483778119Basically never works with video games of any level of production, and it's not entirely a competency or bad interpretation issue. Video games are an extremely visual medium and it's extremely difficult to convey the tone of cosmic horror without crippling it by default the moment it's time to show any extent, or it or have writing that conveys it with writers that aren't exactly on Lovecraft's level
Afton and 1006 would get along>Corpses intermingled with robot parts and tacky children's entertainment props>Family men>Bloodthirsty>Have some retard worshiping them
I hate being negative about Fnaf, but it's so hard nowadaysLike think of all the wasted potential the Puppet has. She's the first to die, and gave a second chance to the original four, and then nothing gets done with her. She's just lounging around in dumpsters and storage units until Fnaf3 & Pizza Sim, and they don't even give her a second chance like they tried to with Willie, she's just another part of the Blob.
>>483788926The lore says the Puppet's spirit eventually goes inside "Lefty"
>>483778119>>483780125Some cases can pull it off well, such as Darkwood or some more obscure examples. But they always keep it unclear just what exactly is being dealt with and what it truly is beyond its effects on reality.
>>483742015Honestly, Banban COULD have been something like that if they were more clear on just what givanium actually is or where it comes from, or if they went with the tone they used for Egghead Gumpty instead and had some vile cosmic force get called down into the kindergarten that turned it into what it is in the game now. But both examples are probably beyond the Euphoric Brothers' writing capabilities.

>>483809603Don't worry, it probably tastes like shit.
would you let him in?
>>483768858Most of the roster is characters made by the lead dev himself, most of them from games he never released.He tried getting bigger names such as Sans from Undertale, Spooky from Spooky's Jumpscare Mansion and even Yandere Chan from Yandere Simulator but all of the rights holder for them told the guy to fuck off.Yeah that's right, the guiy in charge of the game was so bad that even Yanderedev told him to fuck off.Also he tried to get PewDiePie in the game.
>>483788926>she's just another part of the Blob.Thankfully that ending got retconned and is now non canon.
>>482101794>Indie HorrorHoly mother of slop
>>4838028061. When people say Smash they don't mean literally, they're talking about the platform fighter genre.2. Well like i said there's Bendy but there's also Catnap, Banban, a good chunk of FNAF animatronics, Amnesia and Outlast also has monsters that're fighters, and that's not to mention all the Asian horror that's out there, oh and also Dead By Daylight killers have lots of moveset potential as well, so much so that they could make a fighting game spin off if they wanted to.
>>483802806>Except that Captain Falcon is property of Nintendo so they CAN just make up moves for him and these moves are references to the gameForgot to respond to this part.Like i said Nintendo has nothing to do with this, even if they did they have made up moves for third party characters such as Pac-Man, and Captain Falcon's moveset has absolutely no references to the F-Zero games.

>>483842550Can you give me some examples OF MOVESETS? Just naming characters means nothing.>>483842784The falcon appearing in Falcon Punch resembles Blue Falcon with its pose, and Raptor Boost is a reference to the ramming mechanics in the F-Zero games.
>>483958947Had they forgotten that all the animatronics had different suits or masks in FNAF 6?
So what's the cutoff for the FNAF series, before it loses the plot and gets tumblred?
>>484024013Everyone wants to forget the designs from 6>>484024346>1-3Story focuses exclusively on the murders of the kids, Springtrap didn't even have an actual name because he was just the killer and that information wasn't important. At this point the story makes the most sense and is the most satisfying.>4-UCNShifts focus to the Aftons and Emilys and tries to actually create characters. This is where it gets all confusing and less fun to figure out but it has a satisfying conclusion.>HW-todayLore shits the bed, books become fully canon, and everything becomes a convoluted mess. On top of trying to bring back Willy they also try to force in a bunch of other shitty characters like Gregory while failing completely to communicate in a fun way what his story is. They also give all the robots personalities which is hit or miss always a miss imo
>Metacrap Princess and Gartrash of Banban have actual fans defending them.Indie horror is at its worst right now.
Reminder: It's not lore, it's not a prewritten planned out story and setting, it's bullshit made up as they go along.
>>484027132It's honestly very disappointing that many people seem to NOT have understood that yet.
>>484027132at least the indigo park dev planned out the basic story of his game

Who's the best villian from indie horror? How fucked are they if charged for their crimes?
>>484034725You know it's the same people buying all these games, right?It's less competition and more a human centipede. Some parts might get more nutrition then others but it's the same shit going down the line.
>>484045858What are "these games"? How many "furry" indie horror games could you even name? Let alone ones that not everyone thinks are good? Cause you sure as hell couldn't have meant Indie horror in general. You're in a thread made for I.G, the absurdity to try to to say this is a bad thing lol
>>484046531>How many "furry" indie horror games could you even name? Not him and I definitely don't agree with his bullshit but:>Changed>Anomaly Collapse>Indigo Park >Security Breach>Materialization of MemoriesIf VNs count, then there's a fuckton of them as well. But all of these appeal to entirely different niches that share nothing in common. You can't compare any of these, let alone claim "it's all the same people buying these". Someone who likes Changed probably is not going to give a shit about a Funger-like such as MoM. And someone who likes MoM is unlikely to enjoy SB.
>>484045858>It's less competition and more a human centipede. Some parts might get more nutrition then others but it's the same shit going down the line.You couldn't have used a better comparison?
>>484048629As a "furry" (I dislike the label and find people who identify with it cringe for the most part) I've never even heard of half of those games>Changed This is a fetish game, does it count as horror?

I don't think anyone would question if you're a furry if you said you've played SB, or any FNAF for that matter>Materialization of MemoriesNever heard of this, it definitely counts but I mean cmon its got 19 reviews on steam lmao
>>484049318>This is a fetish game, does it count as horror?It's placed in the genre. And as someone who follows it and keeps up with the Special Edition updates, its probably closer to "existential horror" in tone, despite the goofy TFs.>Never heard of it, and it doesn't even have the horror tag, let alone look scaryThere are several horror games on Steam that don't have the horror tag or look traditionally scary. Darkest Dungeon isn't even given the tag (it's just tagged "dark fantasy") neither is Library of Ruina. In Anomaly Collapse's case, it's a cosmic horror setting. >Does it really count though? Have you seen Roxanne/Freddy/Monty/Chica and their fans? I don't know about you, but I'd definitely say it counts.>Never heard of this, it definitely counts but I mean cmon its got 19 reviews on steam lmaoI wasn't really talking about the numbers, more the fact that a ton of furry horror games exist beyond Indigo and none of them have similarities.

Man, I feel like with the extra money they should just straight up upgrade Indigo Park to a full Immersive Sim and move it away from being a walking simulator with little to no actual gameplay. Kinda feels like the game is crying out to be one. The standard IS datalogs-and-files trope would work well, plus it'd be neat to explore the park in full in the way inherent to that game style.Maybe expand the park's physical inhabitants with haywire service bots and multiple cloned mascots, too, and give us low-tech and theme-appropriate weapons to fend them off, like the classic wrench/crowbar/pipe, plus a sonic device that amplifies the wrist band's mascot deterrent effect and maybe some kind of scrambler for electronic entities. Maybe a cattle prod that they used to use to "discipline" the mascots too, just so the plot can bar you from the golden ending if you use it on them too liberally.Could unlock the park by finding flash drives that contain permission codes that allow Rambley ever expanded access to the park's systems, which also unlock his memories of what happened.Merge the chapters, too, they got so much more than they were expecting that they could probably afford that.

>>484072626an immersive sim mascot horror game sounds great to be honest
For porn, Halls of the pale widow is rather decent.
>>484024013One theory I like is that Lefty isn't shown burning in 6 so he is still out there. He was supposed to get into FnafAR and would do he capture and fuse thing with all the robots from that game, creating the blob not out of the Pizza Sim robots but the AR copies.Or it would've been, if they actually followed through and couls get over Funtime Freddy. I swear that one voice performance has fucked up so much, Ennard was shitcanned because they wanted Goff back voicing the character.
