On the KZbin side - I think the most surprising thing to me is the number of creators who leveraged the name "Poppy Playtime" in Banban video titles to drive clicks, meanwhile a few years back MatPat got dragged for doing it with Undertale's name.

The problem is, Undertale was trying to do something new even if it did take from a lot of existing ideas. Garten can quite literally be directly compared because it's trying to capture the exact same market without trying to actively evolve on the concepts that make the market... Well... Fresh.

[@skylarkblue1]

Well no, matpat refused to put the actual game's name anywhere or link to the game anywhere People using poppy in the titles and such for this game at least (from what I've seen) still put the actual name of the game, and often links to it, in the description and things.

[@the_real_fiz2zy]

As silly as the whole thing is, credit where credit is due; the bird not running straight for the player at first was pretty good, and if it didnt have the funniest character design in any horror game ever made, it would have been genuinely creepy.

[@johnboyo8389]

It's just the bird running into invisible walls being deleted on a timer because they couldn't figure out how to code an actual AI, and if they didn't do this then the player would always get instakilled before being able to hit the button. The one "decent" part of this game was simply a side effect of a bandaid fix, nothing more.

[@budgetcommander4849]

When something charges right at you, you know what to expect. By sizing you up, the funny bird makes you wonder if maybe it's not aggressive after all, so when it does charge at you, it's a surprise. It's a scare that deserves a much, much better game.

What sets Poppy apart from the cash grabs like Banban is that, after their pretty demo-like chapter 1, they seem to be putting effort into making something worthwhile as we can see with their attempt to make a L4D/DBD style multiplayer game and be relatively successful at it (being that it’s their first multiplayer game). And even though both Banban and Poppy have basic Chapter 1s, Poppy still had quite high quality visuals compared to Banban and still had more than 3 minutes of gameplay.

Most of these mascot horrors are more stiff movements like robots, meanwhile Poppy has things like Mommly Longlegs which is a pretty refreshing monster idea. And even if you have gripes with Poppy, Project Playtime is quite fun and, sure it’s still glitchy, at least it’s getting worked on and updated while being a fun time still (unlike some other massive triple A release where the devs are “content with the current state of the game”).

remember when people complained about FNaF 3 not being scary and in turn being a bad game? i hope they're all happy

[@cyberdoga5728]

The fact that this took off scares me into thinking that the indie horror genre has become stagnated and cookie cutter especially from a youtube side. Imagine making a game that tackles deeper types of fear instead of avoid big man and find the secrets for lore.

[@GameGuy667]

It HAS though. Actually good indie horror games will never get popular due to how basic and "kid-oriented" they have to be now. Anything that showcases gore or really anything too creepy will not get far on youtube anymore.

[@arf6899]

@@GameGuy667 yeah like , a lot of youtubers were having trouble with that one game about a mortuary asistant because the videos kept getting age restricted, super cool game but a pain in the butt to upload the video

Fun fact: Garten is a word and it's the German word for "Garden" and yes this does mean the word Kindergarten translates to "Child Garden". The term dates back to the 19th century. tbh don't know why I decided to comment this, but here we are. The more you know #birdup

[@AuS1lver]

Bro my two favorate youtubers in one video pretty much I never new this could happen fusion is so underrated thanks for bringing him into the light uhyeah

[@LucasTF]

You are telling me you are the one who brought Garten of Banban to us?

[@TheOnlyOneHello]

I don't know if uhyeah has covered this yet but the fnaw series is definitely something I would love to see a full reviewing of and a small summary of the story and the unique game mechanics that it brought to the fnaf fan game community.

[@pangoldie]

I know this isn't the first video with them but god, I love the new art for your character, he looks so cute and expressive!

[@littleblueclovers]

I think stuff like this reminds me that for indie games, if you have even 1 interesting/creative aspect included that garners attention, you can ride the hype wave into multiple disappointing sequels. I really liked that Opila bird scene when I saw people play it. The way it paused and moved its head felt like what a predator bird would do and I instantly was interested in the game. …then I saw that there really wasn’t anything else there other than that one cool moment.

[@TheOGPlatypus]

Meanwhile at the end of 2023, several of Garten of BanBan’s games are in the top paid apps section

[@nuIlsky]

the bird is kinda goofy, i like it

[@PhoxphorusKitKat]

YOU STARTED THIS God what a magical time it is to be alive. I'm gonna drum up a team of 3D coders and a composer to create a game that's just PNGs of blobs made in paint that floating towards the player if this is what folks will eat up nowadays.

[@ThatBluDude]

The idea of a horror game with with this sort of liminal space/abandoned building setting HAS a lot of potential. But like... if someone behind it actually CARED.

[@phantomology13]

In my opinion a horror game related to liminal spaces would work much better as a more psychological horror game, probably about losing your innocence.

[@Alez-m5c]

The bird scared me personally, especially the way it looked at me and walked beside me (But I think it's more because of my phobias) I'm even more convinced that Twitter is garbage

[@joshuabautch8936]

11:00 THANK YOU! I stated this before on Daggz' video, but I highly doubt that this game was made to be a "satirical take" on the state that is indie horror. I mean, if this game really was supposed to be made in satire, then why do they have a merch button to a game that wasn't even a week old when it first came out?

[@ivanalves8506]

They added the merch 3 hours after the game released

[@zetroll0372]

9:11 i never knew that's the context of bird up. i only knew it from Terminal Montage and thought it was just some random, very trippy scenes/insine jokes.

I never thought this game would blow up, either. I first heard of it on ManlyBadassHero’s channel and he plays horror games of all sorts. Then I saw another, and then another, until I finally saw Mark’s playthrough and was like, “What’s going on!?”

Garten of Banban honestly looks and feels like a parody of the "Mascot Horror" genre, but it's taken seriously, and that's what truly scares me about it.

it’s the reverse of Baldi’s Basics instead of a parody game gaining traction because people treated it like it was legitimately a modern indie horror game, it’s a blatant youtube bait game that gained traction because people thought it was a parody

I'd like to point out that garten is a word, it's German for garden. Also, the bird was the highlight of the game. Some people have pointed out that the bird's behavior is the same as a bird predator. First being curious and sizing up their prey before attacking.

[@PanmasterAtArms]

Yeah. The word Kindergarten means Child Garden.

If Ban Ban 2 is gonna cost money, I feel the creators are gonna make it confusing as hell and impossible to beat in under 2 hours so you can't get a refund. That is, if it's on Steam.
