Chicory: A Colorful Tale - #1 - Co-Op Coloring Book!

[@TheArtsyPoe]

the Madeline on the title screen probably refers to environment artist, Madeline Berger. Maddy Thorson was involved though, they're credited under testing and feedback as well as special thanks. The other title screen credits are Greg Lobanov (Wandersong design, Celeste writing) Alexis Dean-Jones (Wandersong Audio and QA) Lena Raine (Celeste composer) and Em Halberstadt (Wandersong, Untitled Goose Game and Night in the Wood Sound Design) By no means is this a comprehensive list of the stuff they worked on (I just grabbed what I know has been played on the channel) nor of the people who worked on this

[@sirB0nes]

I like how Dan's narrator voice started off really deep and authoritative, but then got more and more diminutive and cute as the game revealed who was actually speaking. Very good adaptive voice acting.

[@JochemKuijpers]

Lena is indeed Lena Raine who composed the music for this as well as Celeste (and a *bunch* of other cool games!)

[@NaNa_W4NT5_F3MNM5]

And Minecraft, now.

[@CowCommando]

Dan: "What are you doing?" Carrie: "Causing trouble." Me: That about sums up the start of all of their co-op gameplay.

[@ZorlockDarksoul]

Don't worry, Carrie. You might not be able to make S-tier hearts, but you're S-tier in all of our hearts.

[@JoyceW-Art]

"Oh what a delightful ga-" [Eye boss appears] Okay that got way more intense than I expected!

[@Sheamu5]

That ending cracked me up, don't worry Carrie, you're art can go on the fridge too.

[@dillonsiedentopf8889]

We have Dinosaur, and now also Outraged Carrie.

[@eberlin6373]

I just screamed, I'm so excited! This is one of my favorite dang games and one of a few that I kept playing past 100% completion. Can't wait to watch you both play it! Greg Lobanov is from Wandersong and Lena is indeed from Celeste.

[@claytonleverrier6096]

Maddy Thorson is the Celeste designer, Madeline Berger is the environment artist for this game. They are the same Lena though.

[@eberlin6373]

@@claytonleverrier6096 Oopsies! Thanks for correcting me

[@starlight_circuitry]

Oh hey, the paintings at the start have got to be a reference to Cucumber Quest! It was a webcomic with a similar tone, and a similar setting that included a kingdom where everyone was named after food. Almond, Carrot, and Parfait were three of the main characters! Sadly, CQ isn't going to be finished afaik, but what's there of it is still worth a read, it's one of my favorite comics.

[@Gamyeon]

Oh I read Cucumber Quest back in the day! It was awesome! Sad to know it won't be finished =(. Is there a reason for that?

[@thetruefeatherqueen]

Oh my gosh.... You unrepressed a memory I'd completely forgotten about 🥺

[@safabekr]

@@Gamyeon I looove CQ! Yeah, I think GGDG got burned out on it sadly. She wants to finish the story in an abbreviated novel/script form.

[@Gamyeon]

@@safabekr Well I'd be satisfied with that. I think what makes me most sad is just not knowing what the author/creator had in mind for their story. However they finish it, I'll be on-board!

[@cassidyf174]

p sure that line "She’ll be chartreuse with envy." is from That Thing You Do (1996) if I'm not mistaken

[@PlayFramePlus]

That is correct! Old favorite of mine that I hadn't seen in too long. :D

[@velemamba260]

This is a delightful game so far. And I laughed out loud at the "Corderoy Ninja" bit.

[@Kusinohki]

Corderoy Ninja sounds like a video game title to me tbh.

[@EmilyRitcheson]

I've loved having this series on in the background while I'm crafting, lately. The voices you two do reading the dialogue and the beautiful sound effects put me in a great working mood!

[@MsStubbyFingers]

"I can't do that in my house - that's too hard!" Carrie is way too relatable XD

[@Ahrpigi]

37:36 No professionalism here; frankly that's just being a gamer.

[@tetraploid5000]

i love how pickle is just chill and has no doors into his house

[@DarkinPunk]

1:40 Every time a game does something like this, I always get a bit of an Earthbound vibe. 2:19 "I do not want pizza flavored coffee!" So, how about coffee flavored pizza? 4:09 "A game where I can clean!" Might I recommend Viscera Cleanup Detail and/or Power Wash Simulator? 9:12 Yup, definite Earthbound vibes. XD

[@IRFine]

“Chartreuse with envy” is from That Thing You Do. It’s my mother’s favorite movie so I’ve seen it way too many times.

[@the6ofdiamonds]

- Fav food as a character name is neat, though i don't know how many of my favourites would fit -Also, I *highly* recommend mixing hot cocoa into coffee. However you drink it, just mix in some cocoa mix to taste.

[@alexwillis-paulsen4597]

"nothing S-rank has ever been put up on a fridge"

[@timothymclean]

4:40: "Oh no, I cleaned so hard that Chicory's colors are gone! I gotta tell her! ...once I finish cleaning." 28:30: Mauve is like chartreuse in that I'm not quite sure what either color is. 37:35: Professionalism is for New Frame Plus, I guess. 1:50: Coffee is a beverage. Chocolate is a dessert, which is sometimes considered separate from food. 8:20: Cyan, technically. But yes, more colors would be nice. 23:45: Look at the left edge of the screen for something the Floyds were too busy LPing to notice. 31:30: That is an extremely cute anecdote to accompany the creepy, unexpected boss. 43:05: Google says "That Thing You Do! (1996)"

[@roberthultgren9389]

I don’t see the thing at 23:45, what am I missing?

[@timothymclean]

@@roberthultgren9389 I rounded down. A few seconds later, some of those black bubbly corruption things show up on the edge of the screen.

[@snakes_shadow3539]

Interestingly, chocolate can be a beverage too, but it’s much less common to be served that way these days, sadly

[@rmsgrey]

Mauve is pale purple; Chartreuse is yellowish green, not to be confused with Chartreuse, which is a much greener yellowish green. If you have something that can turn hex codes into colours, both #DFFF00 and #7FFF00 are (or have been) called "Chartreuse". Meanwhile, Mauve is a much more consistent colour, though Wikipedia does give three versions: #E0B0FF, #E285FF, and #D473D4

[@Landis963]

Mauve is somewhere between pink and purple, and chartreuse is like a neon green. (Like "hot pink", but green)

[@corwin32]

Beans sounds like the kind of parent that would Three Name you when you got in trouble

[@reagansido5823]

What a delightfully cute game! between that and the mystery of what happened to Chicory, I'm already invested.

[@SiddharthMysore]

Just finished this game last week. Y’all are in for a treat, with a delightful side of playframe :)

[@dragamation3266]

Hell yeah Chicory, i tried the demo and it was real cool and definitely something that upon seeing the thumbnail i thought "oh yeah thats perfect for them to play"

[@dustinthompson8600]

Greg Lobanov is the creator of Wandersong :)

"I'll take my coffee with chocolate milk in it though" that's a thing? I need to try it. sounds amazing.

[@roberthultgren9389]

I’m sorry to say Carrie, but your heart is the sort that gets put up on the side of a fridge. Art is hard enough when using the human hands you have had a life time to practice with, so don’t feel bad about having trouble with it when working through a partially familiar intermediary in the form of a controller.

[@finngswan3732]

I honestly could watch you guys color all day, haha.

[@brockmckelvey7327]

Since one of my online nicknames is Coffee, having the main character named Coffee really threw me for a loop

[@QueJeFasse]

I played this recently and thought "Oh this game is perfect for Carrie & Dan"

[@sean2063]

At 28:23, this popped into my head "I wanna know what Mauve is, I want you to show me!"

[@TheREALHugo4]

What a chill art experience. Glad you both played this game.

[@llamas_attack]

As someone who had been putting this playthrough off so I could beat the game myself blind, I'm now very excited to binge this series! I also think it's very funny that y'all named your character Coffee since I named had named mine Mocha XD

[@ChristopherTate]

Dan's heart goes up on a fridge, but Carrie's is anatomically correct SO THERE.

[@henryzhoustextbook]

I beat this game last week and am so excited to see you two play it!

[@Inlelendri]

...now I want to call my house the Bi-Cave, quite strongly so. Also, 'mauve' and 'chartreuse' reminds me of the Spectrum Song sung by Ludwig von Drake but that's probably just me.

[@Shadowreaper5]

I'm so here for Carrie's unbridled enthusiasm. Also just think, you were this close to the main character being named pizzacoffee

[@ruolbu]

45:10 Dan, you missed a major opportunity to be absolutely unapologetically cheesy sincerely flirty here. xD Dunno if that's what you two do in your relationship :p , but I had something like "YOUR HEART, is what makes me happy everytime I see you" on my lips xD

[@erwinlimawan3158]

2:23 Have either of you ever tried Meiji Coffee Milk? It’s really great, and I’m saying that while lactose intolerant.

Tasty enough to be worth the stomach pains I guess?

[@erwinlimawan3158]

@@timothymclean Oddly enough it doesn’t affect my stomach as much as regular milk, so that’s fortunate.

[@timothymclean]

@@erwinlimawan3158 The coffee probably dilutes the lactose.

[@silversugar2140]

I am so glad to see a full playthrough by you two. I've seen two others play and I fell in love with the game but neither finished it. (I really should buy it and play it myself, I know.)

[@argenteus8314]

I'm back after playing through part of the game. Regarding the "kids", you find them by clicking repeatedly on shaking trees. Normally she tells you that, but you didn't talk to her until after finding one by mistake, so you accidentally skipped that bit.

This game is so perfect for you guys.

[@argenteus8314]

Sorry guys, as usual you're proving a great source of game recommendations for me, so I'm gonna have to run off play this before I watch the video. By the way, you're still gonna finish Everhood right? It'd be an unfortunate time to quit.

[@rmsgrey]

I'd assume they're continuing with Everhood. The standard pattern is to play one game on weekdays, another (generally co-op with Dan Jones) on Saturdays, and a third (Dan and Carrie together) on Sundays. When they reach a Patreon milestone and do a bonus playthrough, that happens MWF and is generally just Dan, like the regular weekday videos. Occasional one-offs either come as padding on the end of a weekday playthrough in order to finish a week, or as a second video on a weekday. Pretty much any video can still be edited by Carrie, so her presence can still be felt on weekdays and Saturdays (and occasionally she appears as background noise in a non-Sunday video).
