I love love LOVE every kindergarten character serving a purpose! The original characters felt so soulless at the start. Of course initially they were all just meant to be fun characters that looked like something kids would draw, but giving each individual character a purpose to exist makes SO MUCH more sense to me and really gives a lot more life to the place. Jumbo Josh being big and strong because he eats healthy and then making him a chef is so sweet, same with Opila being a very motherly bird because she herself is all about nesting and caring for her younlings. It really gives that level of oomph that the game needed

[@zirconalian]

The Jumbo Josh and Opila Bird thing honestly makes it feel more like a kindergarten. It's like they existed as role models for the children.

[@legthieff]

there needs to be a jumbo joshua chase at the start of recreated chapter 2 and there should be EVERY character in the group chase instead of banban but woman and j o s h u a, heck, while you're at it, make the opila chase into the classroom through the vents!

Captain Fiddles should be some kind of super hero tbh since they put "captain" in his name anyways.

A dumb idea if you decide to expand on this: I really like the idea of a vent sequence where you hear noise behind you, but if you turn around, opila jumpscares you, I feel like it would be really creepy if you’re crawling through the plastic tubes, then suddenly the music cuts out and you hear footsteps and scratching behind you, as a message scratched into the plastic tells you: “don’t look back”

I think my favorite part about this game is that from Opila's Nest, to the tubes, to the vents and until the start of the chase you can always hear the Opila's Nest song just off into the distance. It's so subtle but gives the game a more eerier vibe than it'd be if it was all just pure silence

[@ActualDavis]

I think the ending would be a lot more impactful if it was a dark room where you shine your light on the starved-looking Jumbo Josh as he slowly turns to you and starts crawling. In this remake the character has been alone for 7 years so I think it would be more fitting for him to wake up in your presence. Overall this is interesting and quite neat!

The thing I love about the redesigns is not only how they actually look like children's mascots now, and that they now each have a purpose and something recognizable about them (like Jumbo Josh being a chef), but that you can then abuse and warp these new characteristics to make their creepy versions. The moment I saw the 'real' sketch of Jumbo Josh at 4:39 I knew you were gonna make some terrifying monsters.

[@facanamanteiga1999]

I like how the characters actually look like characters with effort and time and thought put into them, instead of generic blobs of neon colour or rainbow friends knock offs. Someone else already suggested this with Oplia, with her looking at you in the ball pit area in the original area being kinda creppy, i wanted to suggest putting her on the other side of the "parkour" in the new ball pit, having her be there just standing there, looking at you, and her fleeing once you are on the last platform she runs into the room where her the chase sequence is

[@azatellatia277]

rainbow friends is still kinda mid to. You can easily outrun the blue dude and just reach something that blocks his FOV, pop on the box, wait for him to walk past u, take it off and keep running. I do think green is somewhat better, but still mediocre. Green is more like a music box thats optional to use, because as long as you hear his dog-squeaking butt around the corner, you crouch and just walk away. I do however think that orange is the best one out of them all, with the idea at least. If you dont feed him, he sorta just runs around and at the end, he goes back and refills his bowl. I think orange just needs slight redesign. Like, if he sees a box near the orange line, he will go over there and tear it up. revealing you. That could make it slightly more interacting than anything else. maybe for blue he charges at you and he hits a wall, is stunned, and then you can put on a box and hide from him. For green, im unsure about green. we'll figure out evenually.

Something I've always enjoyed about remakes by people outside of the original team is that you have the foundation for the game already set, your job is to simply improve/expand/put your own twist upon what has already been established but trying to maintain a same if not similar vibe to the original, it also vastly speeds up the development process as a nice added bonus! Congrats on the 1 week deadline and having it look and sound as great as it is, as far as I can tell you used as many options as possible to make it work and the end result speaks for itself, of course I have things to point out but they're more akin to optional bonuses, post deadline updates are always welcome though so I wouldn't hesitate if I were you to go beyond and hey, maybe you and your friends that helped can try your hands at making your own unique mascot horror game! Somethings I'd recommend: - Turn down the glossy look, it makes it feel brand new and not even a thorough deep cleaning is capable of returning something to that state once it's been in use. - The Playground music is a bop but to make it feel more environmental make(or get) some speaker assets and have the music play but only within the vicinity of them, could even have a distorted one or two that have jumbled audio playing, muffle it when in pipes, that sorta thing, atmosphere~ - Having your footsteps change to reflect the material you're stepping on is always a winner. - Slow down Opila creeping at you around corners, you can't reach her position before she poofs and adds to the creepy factor, if you approach stray Cats they tend to slowly drop to the floor as an example. - May want to refine Opila's run animation, it's already great for what it's needed for but looks a little on the stiff side but that might just be a front on perspective thing. - Tidy up the physics objects, they bounce around as if they weigh barely anything which leads to some cool effects but also makes it feel like their slightly stiff paper being flung around - Opila's chase ending lacks a sound effect for the ground breaking underneath the player, could be neat to have it be a larger section that creaks and groans as you approach the door and then snaps, assuming it doesn't already and Opila's chase music just drowns it out or something. - The floor that breaks in Opila's chase is very obvious that it's a trigger of sorts. To end off I'd like to say thank you for blessing my recommended, I was getting sick of seeing all the band wagon hate the game was getting repeating the same phrases and such over and over and it's super refreshing to see someone put dissatisfaction(even if it's not your own) to good use and I personally love how it turned out

I have an idea for Banban himself. BanBan was sorta the director of the project and leader of the kindergarten, always giving any new information to the leaders. When the kindergarten was abandoned, those same people left him and everyone else in the dark. BanBan, unlike the others, still holds onto hope that one day, they’ll come back to help them all, and free them from the hell that they’ve been stuck in for the past 7 years. While he wants to help the player escape and tell everyone about the state they’re in, the years soon got to him, and his morals started to twist, and his actions to reach his goal become extreme (such as knocking out the player and trying to use them to harvest blood.

Damn, this adaptation treats the core idea with good faith and shows its potential. Kinda shows that mascot horror isn't inherently bad, and experience isn't the limiting factor.

[@andy-opia4306]

If the Euphoric Brothers collab with you to make Garten of Banban even better, I'd love to see what happens with the series! Especially love the music dude. It's amazing.

[@trevorhaddox6884]

They could also go back and remake the originals to be way better, then update the games, rather then pumping out a chapter 3 that's still crap. This includes making the models less than a billion polygons each (literally) and burning up your PC.

[@JoziGlitzh]

Some suggestions I have: - Make it so that the music in the Opila Bird playground echoes and sounds distant as if it is being played on a speaker. - Make it so that the first falling animation is faster instead of being a little bit fast at first and then getting slower, as that's literally the opposite of how gravity works. The second one is pretty fine, but I think it should be a little bit faster. - Make it so that when Opila Bird screams she has a screaming animation, as it looks kinda off to just see her walking normally while you hear her scream. - Make the second falling animation have a wood floor-breaking sound effect. - Make Opila Bird more like an actual animal, as this was the only thing that made her at least a little bit scary in the original game, so if we had that here plus the new terrifying Opila Bird model it would be pretty scary. My idea was tweaking her animations so she looks more like an animal and mainly tweaking how she works in-game, like, during the chase you could make it so at some moments she breaks a wall in front of you (Maybe you could see her run pretty quickly behind that wall so that she doesn't just teleport there) and at that moment you need to stop moving, which will make her slowly walk to you until she starts walking at normal speed again, which is the moment where you can keep moving, and if you move before that, she screams and runs towards you faster than you do so she catches you. Maybe to make the player know about this mechanic there could be some flashing text on your screen saying "Don't move" and "Stay still", which could even be related to the lore, like maybe something is helping you, or just Ban Ban. Overall a pretty good game, as someone that has made some games and is currently working on a Minecraft mod, it is impressive that this is your first game!

[@SnapWireOnlyOne]

so I check the build date it took you a bit longer than 1 week to build this......

[@bolt6681]

How long did it take then?

[@UniqueGeese]

Made the project, finished it. Worked on the video for a week. Built it and uploaded it. Took it down because the creators requested we remove the logo (Look at my most recent video about the project) Took a week to do that, rebuilt it then.

As a horror fan myself, i hope everyday that indie devs don't feel obligated to make mascot horror games just because it is what works, Bendy and The Dark Revival is such a great step in this direction.

[@normalhuman9878]

I get what the original game was going for. An empty place that you know _should_ have people can be unsettling. Trying to make a place look normal but feel off is hard and it’s a lot harder to do that in the light, but I respect them for trying. It probably would’ve worked better if the lighting looked more fluorescent, maybe a couple dim spots. You can also see a lot of this remake in Indigo Park and I really like it. You started with what you knew and it worked. It’s neat being able to look back and compare the two projects.

[@alexpvzplayer6659]

I’m amazed that someone with no game experience can make a better game than a group with a lot of game experience. Nice job, dude.

[@alexpvzplayer6659]

Also, I think you should definitely make chapter two. It might take more than a week, but in my opinion, it’d be time well spent. And I think you should keep chapter one as it is and maybe add some things but not entirely remaster it. It looks good as it is.

[@bwaindead5539]

If you decide to do more with the first chapter design-wise, here’s a bit of feedback for you: in the scenes where Opila is stalking you, you should make her turn the corner from much further away, as a stalking creature is less effective if you are allowed to get close to it. Additionally, see if you can make it so that she also will turn if the player stops moving and looks at her, so that it doesn't just seem like a one-dimensional distance trigger

[@theshadowking3198]

[@ladylunaginaofgames40]

Like I said, if the brothers got help like The Meatly did for Bendy, it can really become a real horror game. This already starting to look like a reconceptionalized Garden of BanBan game. The brothers should be PAYING YOU to remake each game and make future chapters

Fantastic. This is sooo much better than Garten of Banban. Obviously, this game is extremely janky and unoptimized, but it is extremely easy to appreciate it for what it is considering this is your first game. I deeply believe that you should pursue a game development career. Bravo!

[@Sneaky_Snail_Pie_02]

The fact that it kept switching between Spiff continuing on with the game and Trace just reading the repeating 'pretty bird' gave me the same vibes as Shane and Ryan from Buzzfeed Unsolved. 😂

[@z1pz4p._]

If this project is ever fully expanded on: think it would be a cool idea if after you put the flash light on Opila and she goes around the corner, theres like faint noises of a person/thing loudly thumping and crawling into a tunnel, so it makes it a lot more gut jerking when you read the text saying that you now have to go INTO the tunnels you just heard Opila just crawl into. (If that makes sense)

[@mudfirethebengal10]

I like how much more unified this game is. The aesthetics, the characters, the areas all have more cohesion. Even the monster motivations seem more cohesive, although I'm not opposed to the strange sort of violent protectiveness the old ones had for children, it was just... confusing how it was demonstrated. Your remake has taken out a lot of the confusion. I like that the monsters' physical needs, ie hunger, matter. Desperation is an underutilized monster motivation in these sorts of games, I think personally. They were once people, after all. The fact that they can't die while starving is pretty horrible. A suffering that won't end and can't be quelled, but still they have to try. Really like that.

[@KieranH612]

Watching this after the release of Indigo Park and your description of Opila's behavior sounds awfully familiar... seems like Opila stalked so Molly could fly! Or more likely crashed lol

[@rawlicious3790]

I can already tell this looks great! My only suggestion is keep Opilla's uncanny eyes on the new design if you could, I already like how the new designs look, just missing an uncanny valley vibe Maybe also introduce Opilla like slowly staring at you?

[@carsonisation]

I'd love to see a touch up of chapter 1 and maybe a chapter 2! I think making the final chase with opila less backroom-y feeling would fit the setting better, and you can really try to capture the similar fear of being lost in a new school on your first day. One thing that makes the original garten of banban less scary (to me) is how the rooms dont fit together at all, and there will be something like a secret research lab next to a kids play area, which completely breaks any immersion i had definitely subscribing to see how this project goes

[@Sapphire864]

Man, I’ve gotta say, I’ve always wanted to learn how to make games - but I never knew where to start. Being that I’ve been working on my own game (which, funnily enough, is an au to FNaF (that only really shares a few things with it)), you’ve really gave me the hope that “hey, maybe I can do it, too.” The only issue? My friend and I both can’t draw, suck at graphic design, don’t know what the heck is going on with things like blender, have no character designing experience, no game making experience, have no other friends, and essentially have no other skills than writing and having too many ideas to count. But we both happen to be quick learners - if given the proper teachers lol Anyways, I digress. I just feel like I have some hope if someone can make a good game in a week, then maybe my friend and I could get the voice actors and everything by summer of ‘24. Or, y’know, give up like we have with almost every other project we’ve tried. But we ain’t doing it again. Or at least, I hope.

[@Sapphire864]

Oh, and did I mention the composing, voice actors, song lyrics, and that we both have no money? Seriously, I think we’re probably the least qualified people to be doing this rn. But I have hope in us! We’re both optimistic and determined people - until we get new ideas, but we’re just been writing ‘em down and saving them for later.

[@trashyboiyeee9149]

This is honestly stellar! There's of course a few things like you mentioned, but you being aware of the worse points is great. If you ever finish up the chase scene, I'd recommend definitely increasing Opila's speed. The original game had it's chases be cutting it close. Either way, amazing work.

[@ethanlivemere1162]

While I love the redesigns, I do think having Opila bird walk like a humanoid, wings behaving like arms, loses some of the creep factor of it feeling like a real bird of prey stalking you

I love this so much, the original had a lot of potential it was a shame to see unfulfilled so I’m glad you’ve taken up this project.

You talked about making areas look like real places rather than just settings and I totally agree. I don't do game dev but I HAVE worked heavily with Hammer SDK in the past, making TF2 maps and I adore giving those little touches to make them look like real locations set somewhere other than just a void in space or something.

The explanation behind the ball pit: if you go back to the cafeteria, you will se a button that plays a sound. The sound is apparently the ball pit breaking. When it broke, they closed it so the children can’t get in. And the protagonist decides to be stupid and goes in.

[@Queen_of_Aces11]

I think a good in-world reason for the mom to be there after 7 years is that the kid is a teenager who, with their friends, decided it would be fun to sneak into their old kindergarten/a abandoned kindergarten and the mom goes there to look for them because they've been gone for a couple of hours or days. It would keep the same motivation as the original but with a twist.

[@iidoughnutholes3087]

The character designs for the characters, especially the posters are SO GOOD. I love the designs! I’d legitimately play this if it was available. Wonder how the 2nd chapter would look like! Edit: please make the 2nd chapter I’m begging you, it would look so good!

[@McdonaldsSprite8191]

Personally I am loving these new concepts and ideas you had for the characters. Giving them an actual purpose they would serve for the kids was great.

Like I almost want to help them despite their hostility.

Can I just say you just made a game from slightly creepy to legit nightmare fuel! I love it. Opila's my favorite character in the original cutout phase, but SHEESH that monster of her... I'm not going to sleep for a while... Unless the 3D model of her original cute form gives me a hug.

[@TheRealEC4]

This is one of my most favorite games EVER. I really like the soundtracks. But again the building has been abandoned for SEVEN years. So the music/theme would be distorted. It would be nice if the music in the Opilas mini game would cut in and out and be distorted. I think the would give it a more creepier vibe. Also in the maze where Opila chases you, maybe details like bones blood and more detail to the walls would be GREAT. I would love to see that. FYI the theme for the chase was AWSOME. I loved the scream from opila in the theme. And the fact that she has no lower jaw was INSAIN! I also loved the josh model and the fact the his face was almost gone just gave it more of a terrifying vibe. I wonder what twisted creatures we will see next. If it months of a year I still cannot wait until reincarnated two comes out

[@theburningphoenix]

I think this is really cool and very impressive that you managed to make a game of this level of quality in only a week and I'd love to see you both continue to expand on this chapter and see your interpretation of chapter 2. If you were to expand on this idea then one of my few criticisms that I'd love to see worked on would be the Music in the kindergarten as while it is a banger it feels too loud to me and it would be great if it could have that speaker box like quality on it to help add to the creepy ambience and liminal feelings of the scene as well a muffled echo of the song while moving through the tunnels instead of the deafening silence from when you move away from the main room as I feel that would help add the that claustrophobic feeling you get when stuck inside of one of those tubes as a kid, I personally had to have a "rescue team" come get me when I got stuck in like a tube slide thing when I was younger and the terrifying feelings you get when stuck in that darkness with that muffling echo of the voices and cheery music playing I think would help add to a more exhilarating experience to the game though that's just my opinion and maybe it is just a bad idea but that's just my suggestion on it.

[@indiemedley1209]

This really goes to show, no such thing as a bad idea, just bad execution. The original was so... Empty. It was made and slapped together quickly with minimal effort to cash in on the Mascot Horror Genre, which as a whole tends to be overused and have its best potential and use underutilized. Garten of Banban had some okay ideas, but they were used in such a lackluster way that the game comes across as jarringly soulless. This breathes life into the concept and makes it something worth playing. Now THIS is a Mascot Horror Game

[@hedgehogkween]

I worked on a similar project for a class once. Ours turned out smaller, though we had to coordinate between five people over the course of 7 or 8 weeks. Part of that went to making props from scratch, though ours didn't have any characters or animation. My point in saying this is that this is a truly impressive amount of work to complete in one week! Granted building a game from scratch is a much more complex project than improving one that already exists, but if you enjoyed this dip into game development I would whole-heartedly recommend doing more! Even if you don't do it professionally, there can never be too much art in the world. 😊

[@Plasstyre]

I would actually pay a decent price for a full size game of this, this looks genuinely amazing. Please put your time into this recreation, it will not go unrewarded!
