its from the movie "The Amazing Bulk" which is an obvious rip-off of the hulk, the scene in question is at the end of the film where bulk has to run to some place far away and they just mash all the stock footage leftover into it, the quote comes from the title of a popular video of the scene called "We are almost at the end of the movie, and we haven't even used all of our stock-footage yet." and the description says "Just mash it all in the final sequence. I'm sure you can make sense of it somehow."

[@gracekelley2907]

On one hand, I like how it gives us a better idea of Poppy as a character, she's definitely coming across as more of an antihero than a villain in this version. She knows she's being selfish, but clearly just wants to end the suffering that Playtime Co has caused. I especially find it interesting that they edited the line "I can't let you leave, yet" to just "I can't let you leave." I can't see Poppy keeping the protagonist hostage after she completes her goal. I would think she'd want to pass on as well. And I can't see her causing the protagonist any harm, espeically since if she did, they'd be another victim, more blood on her hands, and based on her tone, it's very clear she's regretful of all the sacrifices that were made to bring her to life. I also find it interesting and sad to hear that the co-workers of the protagonist are dead and have been for a while. That does beg the question, however. Were the coworkers killed before or after it was sent? And if it was before, then who sent the letter? Certainly not Poppy, maybe there's another person working on our side that we haven't even seen yet. Of course this could be scrapped because Poppy's going to be a more antagonistic character, but I like to think it's actually because it just gives away a lot of exposition and is pretty damn long. If I were In the ending cutscene, with nothing to do but sit and listen to Poppy talk, It would feel like a major exposition dump, rather than a natural speech. But the og version, while vauge, really worked in shifting the tone from one of calm victory, to concern, and finally panic as the train starts to go off the rails, as well as tease a bit of what's to come. For people interested in the plot (like me), it's quite a good info dump!

That's probably why the music in the game freaks me out so much- I have some traumas associated with the music from EATEOT (and The Caretaker's work in general) so learning that was their inspiration for their music makes a lot of sense.

I have a theory for the giant wheelchair; It's not fo just really tall people, it's for those who were turned into Huggy or Kissy, considering they are the tallest among the characters, even towering over the player themselves. The wheelchair being such a large size would make sense for the "recovery" phase of the experiments, as a child wouldn't normally fit for how small they would be compared to it, that is, unless they became much larger for other means. Hell, even going so far as to say a child that became Mommy Longlegs would still fit for this theory.

I am a game developer, so I was surprised they left it in there since a debug build is not something you just put in the game's assets. Also, there were mentions of OpenXR, a common VR standard for all major headsets, so they either added it by accident or are planning a VR version. Since the game involves so much locomotion, I think it's just a result of a rushed launch. The debug messages are useless without seeing the source code.

And I've heard a theory that she was Ludwig's daughter, and he created Poppy to bring her back, then the other toys were brought to life because he was trying to figure out how to make her human again? Not so sure on that final bit. But considering she says "It's cost so many lives" when referring to her own existence as a doll, that at least says that she was the first one.

[@Keytotruth]

The settings things is something easy to explain. The version you are playing has been compiled as a debug or development build. (Notice specially the log messages they use for debugging). Many beginners and people who have no experience with UE4 use console commands for settings, which work on all builds... except Shipping, because in Shipping the console gets destroyed. So it's very likely they just made a shipping build thinking those settings would just work when they don't. Which is why things work on the debug build and not in the actual game.

The song used is from Stage 3 of Everywhere at the End of Time, "And Heart Breaks". "Just a Burning Memory" and "And Heart Breaks" both sample Al Bowly's "Heartaches", but are different songs. They likely couldn't use it in the full build, since they didn't have any contact with Leyland Kirby (the Caretaker) so it'd be a violation of copyright, I'm pretty sure. I know EATEOT & some of Kirby's other music has been used in those analog horror series, which Poppy takes "inspiration" from, which explains why they used it as a placeholder.

Well… If this is the room where they were doing all the weird science shit, what if these wheelchairs weren’t made for humans? What if they were made for the toys? From Kissy Missy’s movements, it seems like some toys don’t have instinctual control of their limbs. What if these wheelchairs were to help train the toys, before they can walk? The big wheelchair is likely for Huggy or Kissy, though I’m guessing Kissy due to the prevalence of her posters. I don’t know who the small wheelchair is for, though.

[@indi1769]

I think I actually have an explanation for why the worm and Mommy are so fast in the debug build. Keep in mind, I'm not actually a programmer, so technically I actually have no clue what I'm talking about. I have no way of checking this, since I dont own Poppy Playtime myself, but my theory is that the enemy chase speed was dependent on framerate. The debug build probably ran terribly at some point - 30 fps or lower? And if enemy speed is dependent on framerate, then a lower framerate means the enemies need to move faster. Which means if they fixed the (theorized) performance issues but never changed the enemy speed, suddenly all the enemies move twice as fast, because the framerate was doubled. idk though, im just some random dude lol

[@Tree_-wp5zn]

As a novice programmer Yes

[@Tree_-wp5zn]

And we are impatient

[@cookiecreeperplayz]

It could also be because the devs wanted to make sure it made it to the end of the maze without problems so they made it faster for the dev build and simply reverted it back for the final build once they had it working.

[@Tree_-wp5zn]

@@cookiecreeperplayz that too

[@L4Vo5]

No, game engines like Unreal typically use something called "delta time" to make movement truly independent of fps* Put simply, it asks the OS or whatever how much "real time" has passed between this and the last frame (the delta), and multiplies the speed by that delta to advance. So if it moves 1 unit per second, at 30 fps it'd advance 1/30th of a unit every frame (since the distance between frames is 1/30th of a second), at 60 it'd be 1/60th every frame, etc. If the processing rate ever dips, the speed is adjusted automatically by the very nature of the algorithm. * ok, it's still not 100% independent, but that's irrelevant.

My guess is that they changed Poppy's speech at the end to play with the mystery a bit more but left that in the files in order for people to find out and theorize about it. In this way they are free to continue with that line (or not) if they want without being totally committed at that yet and leaving even more intrigue to the players. 🤔
