MatPat Played My Game?! - Let's Watch (Indigo Park)

Matpat pulling a rambley and reducing lloyd’s screen time

[@Scr4mbledM3ggs]

It’s still hilarious to me how he missed the obvious lion when he was just sleeping on his stage😭

And then pulling a what I assume to be Lloyd and not clicking on the collectibles in the collection screen for rambly voice lines 😭

[@jacketofdiamonds]

@@6SleepySpades9 I feel like the Rambley/Lloyd disdain is funnier if it's completely one-sided but this still feels like a Lloyd thing to do because he seems kind of clueless (although the fact that you can click them isn't super well communicated outside Rambley's implication that HE has stuff to say)

missed opportunity was not having molly trick you into a death by sounding like Rambley when you’re apart from him ;u;

[@can0cringe]

Oh my god yes. This feels like such a natural bit of progression for Molly’s character that not having it kinda.. makes her gimmick fall short. The stalking throughout the game is great, but more obvious bits during the chase would have been fantastic

[@nexferna7695]

Yeah I was also super confused, I saw him mentioned the mimicking and then played the game. I legitimately could not hear Molly’s voice during the chase, all I could hear was the music (which was a banger). I was so confused about the voice thing, I thought we were going to see Molly again but apparently not.

[@SunSlayerKD]

@@nexferna7695 I could hear her voice but didn't understand a thing at all, and that's obviously during a chase so you can't really stop and try to think or listen.

[@ursamajo.r]

​@@nexferna7695 I believe you hear her inside Rambley's train ride. But it's hard to hear yes, that part has loud music as well, and the gimmick wasn't really mentioned at that point I don't think

[@theredhare2483]

Could’ve reused the clip of him saying “Hey buddy, over here!” from the information kiosk

[@Altoryu]

Matpat's existence is so contradictory where he is a theorist yet when he plays games he misses so much stuff.

[@generalcorgi]

FOR REAL. It's crazy how many small details he talked about in his theories while also carefully missing half the game 😭

[@GrassFudge7]

Tbf it's not like they play the game once and see everything when they make theories. They go through it multiple times looking for stuff and research online what things have been found

[@Qwertzze]

He's too powerful, game gods have to hold him back

[@pemanilnoob]

I do kinda wish he played the game multiple times, and actually recorded it too, but I understand why he doesn’t

[@na3rial]

He's always missing the forest for the trees. Spends so much time looking for small details in textures or objects that he misses all the big stuff lol

[@eclipseandgang]

"Bro just missed Lloyd." Ah yes, slowly delving into MatPat solving very intriquite details, finding scraps of lore hidden in nooks and crannies and missing the action in front of him

[@lizzarddoggo8775]

For when the band buzzes away lloyd. I would suggest have it shine red and flash, as if its communicating "WARNING: IMMEDIATE DANGER."

[@fanOfMinecraft-UAs_channel]

The first time I watched a playthrough of the game, I assumed that because the youtuber also said about it being able to shock you, as it resustating you, so I guessed it actually shocked the lion instead

[@SunSlayerKD]

It really doesn't feel like the band is the reason for the whistle to me. I can hear it in my right ear but it starts slightly before you are grabbed and just feels so distant. I wasn't even sure that the noise was intentional until he was mentioning it was a dog whistle! Afterwards I just assumed someone was blowing the whistle from a distance, like a secret protector. The band also not being lit up earlier (as soon as the noise starts) until you turn and look at it adds to that feeling that it wasn't the band but something external.

[@ErzengelDesLichtes]

It should have a “sonic rings” particle effect coming off it to make it really obvious.

[@jacketofdiamonds]

@@SunSlayerKD I'm fairly certain it was the button making the sound (specifically a different sound because of the band being removed before it finished scanning) but yeah that could definitely be better communicated

[@pumpkin2986]

I love that no matter who a creator is, they will treasure and uphold a compliment from Matpat like its their parent being proud of them. Matpat is just *that* respected in the gaming community. which, same tbh. I would ride high for a year if matpat said something i made was great.

[@anythingyoucando1546]

I agree that the, typical evil mascot, has been overused trope. I hope that the balance remains between scary, charming, and endearing. I hope one way this leans toward, My Friendly Neighborhood. The also agree the mascot themes have a solid base.

[@Broomer52]

My Friendly Neighborhood is such a good story because it’s a setting that fights back against the very concept of Mascot Horror. The Puppets want to make children happy but after they closed down and their was a collective depression from a recent war the Puppets decided to look at the tv shows the rest of the world was watching to see why people left. They were horrified and traumatized by how mean the shows were, how mean the world is some lost their minds, many became depressed and had no idea what to do. Until a group decided to fight back against the darkness and try to make people smile again. Indigo Park seems along a similar line because Rambley genuinely doesn’t know what’s happened or why everyone left, his only goal was to make people happy and now he’s all alone. His entire hope is that you can save the park from whatever is happening.

[@neolithiumproduction]

I didn't hear the buzz either. I thought it looked like Lloyd was trying to stop you from going through the door, then panicked over his own face being seen. xD I also feel like for some people, knowing there are collectables to be found will draw their attention away. When I saw the theater of seats, I to was so focused on looking for collectables in those seats that I didn't consider looking at the stage.

[@SunSlayerKD]

I heard it but I honestly assumed it was an unintentional audio glitch for the most part! Definitely doesn't feel like it's your own watch protecting you by doing that. As for the Theater, if it's a big issue then maybe they could have the spotlights come on row by row with the typical "spotlight on" noise, until it shines on the stage. That really leads your attention when you enter the room at least.

[@neolithiumproduction]

@@SunSlayerKD That's a good idea with the spotlight. Or have the theatre dark when you first enter and then the spotlight come on at the stage where the Lion is. So there's something to really draw the eye.

[@limamasten]

I don’t understand how so many people miss the buzz

18:28 it’s Theft King, anything they say can be disregarded (see the Kane Carter situation). We aren’t discrediting it because it “sh*ts on the game”, we’re disagreeing it because it’s by a known toxic contrarian clickbaiter. Regardless though congrats on having Mat play and praise it!

Oh yeah definitely When I saw the video in my recommended, I knew immediately, that video is just not factual no matter what. I didn’t even know theft king was still on KZbin, I thought he got banned ages ago

I always liked the term Outrage Merchant. Theft King doesn't have /critique/ he has social engineering to lock you into a furious headspace so you support him.

[@yeeyeeyeeye]

Plus, it was incredibly obvious that it was done in bad faith. He clearly made it with the idea that it was overhyped and bad, and he was looking for every tiny flaw that justifies it.

[@sondersighs]

In all fairness these are great points, but for me this is the first time Ive noticed a full ost that has a cohesive theme being repeated and utilized. Fnaf security breach, besides having the daycare theme and maybe the lazer tag, theres not really any in game music that is beyond being intended to be scary ambience, and that is what draws me in as a highlight. I understand its not a full game, but it has contained more than other demos ive noticed in this genre in regards to music. Also other games can totally have bops too and not have to be every single thing on the soundtrack, it doesnt make them invalid. All im saying is that Im really excited and hopeful to see where this game goes!

[@new_username4733]

I honestly think best thing about this is how UQ's perspective on merch is "game first, then merch". So many games, especially mascot horror, feels like they're made just to be merchandisable (how ever you spell that). So having a creator being like "there can be merch, but first we should focus on the game" feels so refreshing.

[@guilhermerafaelzimermann4196]

One idea i have is having the collectables be mint condition, and all the set decor ones being a bit damaged, maybe missing a limb or two, maybe a torn ear, or just straight up dirty Aditionally have a "My thoughts" text over the player's thought box

[@piercelindenberg6842]

The game takes place in 2023. Rambley’s dialogue tells us the park has been shut down for eight years, and the newspaper reporting the park’s closing is dated 2015.

[@NecroWolfExPaladin]

As far as collectables and the highlighting, if maybe they highlighted a shade of color instead of being brighter it might be better. Because occasionally the extra light from the flashlight makes the extra-extra light from being highlighted a touch less obvious.

[@jaxcraft2848]

Dang! You uploaded this as SOON as MatPat started playing it. XD

[@Oz_Headwinged]

Loved the game, absolutely amazing work from the entire team. However, as a person who usually glances at things I'd recommend putting the "Click the item to get information from Rambley" text for the information kiosk under the information text to the right. This way; people will read it no matter what.

[@spookyshark2656]

Came here from Mat's video, I just wanted to say you and the team all did an amazing job with this game. And I really mean it. I've been feeling like a lot of mascot horror nowadays just lacks... Soul for lack of a better word. Like they all feel so corporate putting shit out for the sake of it. This is the first game from the genre I've seen in a while where I can actually *feel* the passion and dedication coming through the screen. It's clear you guys care about telling this story and I can't wait to see how this is gonna turn out with a bigger budget! I'm convinced this will be a smashing success so I'm wishing you luck with all the work you've got cut out for you! Can't wait to see more of our little friend Rambly he's so cute💕

[@SuperCommando567]

I love Rambly, my favorite part is his glitching, cause it is accurate! Cause an Ai that has been sitting there for 8 years, should be glitching cause Rambly has never gotten updated.

[@can0cringe]

Yes!! Although I wasn’t entirely a fan of the voice at first (the glitchy-ness was off putting, weirdly), I adored the fact that it _was_ glitchy. Seeing thought put behind natural deterioration / game atmosphere is such a fresh breath of air

[@kipicbloud]

@UniqueGeese, one of the other things you could do for the Loyd dog Whistle scene is instead of just lighting up, have the watch pulse or blink, humans are more attracted to motion and that could help draw the connection easier.

[@fallen_arcane3211]

18:48 as someone currently studying in a creative field, this is a KILLER mindset to have for any kind of project, but especially creative ones. Being able to listen to negative feedback and understand where there might be valid points to improve from what is heard is VERY very important. I already had lots of faith in you as a developer, but this makes me truly believe that Indigo Park will only get better and better as time goes on. I’m very excited to see where you go, if you keep up with this kind of mindset it’s surely going to be stellar 💜

[@ShadowDemon_4]

While watching the original video I came across a comment. They had a theory that caught my attention so much that I put together a lot more... strange things that I didn't consider before and I think I pieced together a big part of the games lore by accident, haha. I already put a comment on his video about all the little things I realized but I hope, even if the community does figure things out much sooner then expected, that you keep going and if by some chance the theories are wrong that's all the more exciting. Edit: No one has apparently seen my original comment so I think you're safe...

[@absolutelyyousless7605]

As a somewhat aside to this video, I think having a system where the player character writes notes based on what he sees during the game would be a good way of further engaging the player. As it is currently, it was hard for me (personally) to see that my character was upset / feeling anything throughout the game, and having a way to see into what the character is thinking would help that. Additionally, perhaps a camcorder or something? The character seems to be a urban explorer of some kind, so it would potentially fit character as well as being a way to add gimmicks in a somewhat organic way.

[@tatltails3923]

maybe PC can be texting Laura updates the whole time??

[@JL-zw3tj]

In the intro cutscene, the texts that he exchanges with his friend say that it was only going to be like a quick look? He mentions not bringing gear along.

[@absolutelyyousless7605]

@JL-zw3tj True, and fair point. Perhaps he also has no data out in wherever the park is (no texts to anyone else), but could still have text logs on his phone or whatnot. Maybe even phone pictures of certain events (scripted?).

[@JL-zw3tj]

@@absolutelyyousless7605 point to you as well - I get what you're saying. I watched a review where the guy suggested that he'd like to read more newspaper clippings and/or signs for more lore drops. That sounds like an interesting (meta) challenge to report what happened when the park closed, but also leave the mystery for you to solve as you explore now. Depending on how the story ends they could also incorporate pictures, notes, things the MC finds. It could serve as evidence in case authorities come to arrest you for trespassing, or something the MC posts to his urban exploration blog/ Twitch/ KZbin.

[@absolutelyyousless7605]

@JL-zw3tj One thing to note is that the racoon wants to restore the park... yet does the AI have any rights / whatnot to do so? It could be up to the MC to find out info or dirt on the park to get the corporation behind Indigo to not go after them during / after the repairs

[@EveRosell]

Tbh I feel like "click to know more" at the end of each description dialogue will help a lot more than changing "select" to "click". Or at least it should be something like "select and click". Some people might still think click means simply choosing the collectable.

[@A.Achorn]

Quick idea for the collectable that become set dressing maybe allow the shop set dressings to have a message on "pickup" that says something like "Did I see one of these laying around" for uncollected and "I already have one of these" for collected. I think this maintains a good diegetic feel to the items while likely greatly reducing the confusion.

[@Eldr1tchGl1tch]

I think a way you can circumvent things like mat pat missing some things like lloyd on stage is to turn those things into a cutscene. Where you don't have to rely on player looking at him then, and forcing it a little. Since people will look around and people will miss lloyd specially with how nice the environment is and with the collectable hunting. Making the player entering the theater a cutscene where they look and see lloyd or making the cutscene trigger when they shine their flashlight on the stage would be the best way to minimise that. I think. Also, for the jumpscares also turn it into a cutscene so the mouse shaking when you get jumpscared doesn't make you miss him, and have the player automatically look at him when he's slithering away.

[@Hapsetshut]

[@footedrocket6535]

​@@knaughta.masso-kist5944I completely agree with you, but tbh, horror games are really hard to balance "gameplay" vs. "tension" moments. Take FNAF 1 or something (first that came to mind) it isn't a horror game after about 2-3 nights due to the gameplay and the need to understand mechanics to survive.

[@robw3610]

@@footedrocket6535 I agree whole heartedly. On the one hand I would have loved more interactivity with Lloyd. Would have been great to have some sort of sequence where you had to sneak around and avoid getting caught. There was never really any real danger until Mollie's chase sequence. (Side note I wasn't even aware she was stalking me until I got to her area.) However, once I died for the first time during the chase sequence, it kinda broke my immersion and my brain realized I was playing a game again. Which I think is one of the reasons I don't usually play this genre of games. Once you start gamifying it, it breaks the immersion and any tension it's built up when you die and respawn. So it's a real balancing act for sure to keep up the tension without letting it become a walking simulator.

[@aromaladyellie]

Right at the end of his little song that I can't get enough of, Rambley sounds like MatPat's Bendy voice and it made me laugh. 1:57:10 Something Mat seemed to kind of miss was the fact that he's talking about horror games not having allies lmao. "A mascot people want to engage with" okay yeah man like i don't wanna engage with chica she wants to eat my bones. It has nothing to do with her being creepy or anything. She wants to crunch on my bones. But I think in-universe the mascots are generally well-liked because, you know, they're not trying to eat people between 6am and 11:59pm. If Rambley wanted to crunch my bones, I wouldn't wanna engage with him lol. But he's not after my bones, he protects me, and we are working together to fix the park. I love Rambley

[@ConnroTheElephantLord]

When I played, I was also confused on what happened with Lloyd. I actually thought the band shocked him and sent him back. It doesn’t make as much sense as the dog whistle, but I would probably change it to a regular whistle, just for the sake of understanding. It’s still a loud, high pitched noise that would scare him off, while being significantly louder and more clear to the player. Maybe even have the band shake as it plays it, to further emphasize that it’s coming from the band.

A little late to suggest, but if people are still having issues realizing they can click on the collectables to hear Rambley talk about them, I suggest adding a clickable button under the player character's text about the item that says "Ask Rambley!" Or something to that effect. It would make it very obvious what to do.

I doubt that you may not read the review I left on Steam, but there's a few oversights I brought up that upon later chapters could help make the series grow even more as well as point out odd bugs even though I am not good of a critic as I hardly play new releases as is. Thank you for you and your team's contribution for such a compassion project, hopefully it can grow to an even bigger crowd

i absolutely loved the game watching mat, instantly downloaded the game to show my friend. i am definatly gonna keep an eye on this franchise

[@fuzzyotterpaws4395]

I usually don't like horror, but I like this so far because Rambley is adorable and the end credits song is SO catchy!❤

[@limamasten]

I can’t remember half of the song but it’s still stuck in my head

[@mehrsamyaghoubi91]

I finished playing this game a while ago, and honestly I loved it!! I am that kind of a person that doesn't get scared much, but the Lloyd backstage area and the chase at the and got me on edge😅. This game deserves a 10/10!

[@TheHugProvider]

The nostalgia painting reminds me of the Ratman in the portal games where he would draw and paint on the walls, you did such a good job with the nostalgia painting!! :DD

[@DjBasA38]

You're not giving yourself enough credit, Mason. Indigo Park, even if it's just the first chapter for now is GREAT!!!. And i'm happy to be a backer on Kickstarter. (300 dollars, not much seeing how much has been pledged in total at the moment)

[@Ariamaki]

Always great to see this kind of coverage! :D A couple of things that came to my mind: > I definitely think it's OK to acknowledge that for all their minor charms and fever-dream elements, the Banban games are VERY bad and your Reincarnated remake of Chapter 1 blew the original out of the water on every axis. It can be easy to give the games more credit than they deserve, which is very little, regardless of how you feel about the creators as individuals. > The collectibles need highlighting that isn't contingent on the player looking at the item, something consistent: An outline glow, a shine / sparkle effect, whatever. I've yet to actually see anyone even find the mask, for one thing. Alternatively, making it so EVERY version of a collectible can be picked up, but only the first time, so you can theoretically 'catch up' on what you missed when you're in the Critter Corner? > The UI for the information kiosk REALLY needs better labeling and clearer instructions for the incurious and unobservant: Maybe specifically marking the text sidebars as "my thoughts", and then putting little Rambley Reacts(registered) buttons under each item to show them off? > Same with the Orange Access Unlock, that needs better telegraphing and probably some audio to make people more clear. Could use an access denied callout when you try to get into the theater early, specifically saying it? Regardless of all that, Chapter 1 is extremely exciting and I am really looking forward to what's coming in the future!

[@mephdlop]

1:18:48 It's possible that the orange glow gets glossed over because it glows orange when accessing the orange locks. Maybe along with making the alert tone louder, what about the watch having an animated light effect that might further clue the player in that its going into a panic mode due to Lloyd's attack? LIke a strobing red animation, something that better conveys that the cuff is sensing you're in danger and has triggered.

[@MikeyCutieLOL]

16:03 "Is salem breedable" THAT COMMENT HAD ME ROLLIN

[@Liliana_the_ghost_cat]

[@Sylfa]

For the information kiosk, I don't think changing the wording in the top-left will be *enough* to make people realise they should click on the icons. I'd strongly recommend changing the UX a bit on that screen. My first instinct is to not do hover-over text, and instead let the player click the icon to get the text. Then have a button for playing the audio. Alternatively, play the audio when you click it, and then have the text show up right before he's done talking. That's more streamlined but then you need to consider the situation of people wanting to read it again, so you want to have the text show up on hover after it's unlocked. I think the smallest change you could make to improve it, besides changing the wording up top (which no-one will read because they assume they understood the UI from what happened when they hovered over the icon) would be to add a hover "play audio" tool tip on the buttons to the left. Alternatively a more obnoxious "--click icon for more--" underneath the text. If you have the budget I'd do something more like my first suggestion though. People simply don't read instructions properly, not in general, and your buttons have two separate functions. One of which is hidden and you have to know about it to figure it out, or click what is *clearly* a hover over selector. That's the real reason people miss it, they "figure it out" by hovering over the button, and then stop trying to figure it out. I've seen a streamer basically just hover over one, go "I'm not reading that" and never touched the kiosk again.

Good stream Geese. Can't wait for chapter 2

[@warnpeace5294]

Subed and liked just because of your answer to the question at 18:50 very based and self-aware. I hope your game continues and gets even better than the first chapter shows. Best of luck to you and the rest of the people helping you with this project

[@Kulkogo]

I first heard of Indigo Park a while back. I assumed that it was going to be another casual horror game, and moved on. I proceeded to see you remake of Banban video, which I was extremely impressed by how high quality it was for a game made in a week. I’ve seen plenty of developers make games in short amounts of time, but with no experience? Now THATS a developer with potential! And so I moved on. Holy sh*t. Indigo Park is FANTASTIC! It has a few flaws, sure, but you’re still new and that’s to be expected. I expect great things from you in the future, and I wish you good luck!!!

[@W0lfinn]

Game is great, love it. Working on editing now of my play through. Looking forward to seeing chapter 2. Well done to everyone.

[@AnnCatsanndra]

You won't say you're better than Ban Ban, but I will. You wear your inspiration and passion on your sleeve. Banban has its interesting points and there is clearly some effort in it, but it doesn't ooze affection and passion like Indigo Park does.

[@ReikaSensei]

I am not good at horror games, so for me this is a title I can only watch and just enjoy the characters, but this game is so adorable that if you make merch I will buy it and support you that way.

[@MavericIsCool]

The animatronic Mollie mccawk during railroad says not rambley he hurts Lloyd is what I heard

[@Fearful_cloud]

It sounded more like ‘Not Rambly, Hurt Lloyd Hurt lloyd’ so maybe a worker dressed up as Rambley and some thought he hurt Lloyd.

[@Werecat06]

​@baraovermelho3956 Or maybe like 'Hey Ramble, Lloyd hurts/is hurt'

[@cloud1973]

Train ride was my favorite part of the CH1 Indigo park, Rambley was adorable, and the ride music was awesome.

[@LauraVisionArt]

Hey Geese! Just wanted to give a little feedback as an observer of an observer, by that I mean from watching KZbinrs. They can be dense as heck. I watched a lot of KZbinrs that just miss the obvious, not referring to subtle details like molly stalking you or Lyoid staring at you. I'm referring to things like kiosk items being clickable and the puzzle in Mollys Landing Pad like: GUYS LOOK AT THE PUIRPLE STAR NEXT TO THE PURPLE BLOCK!!!! GUYS LOOK! it was infuriating to say the least. This is NOT YOUR FAULT at all. People are just dumb sometimes. So PLEASE do not hesitate to beat the objective over their head. Like using the objectives to restate what to do like: "Find the other icons in the playground"

[@viewbuster1979]

I do agree that you probably have to be more direct with your story beats and puzzles to have people succeed, but dense is a little harsh. Every streamer is playing while distracted. They are playing the game while trying to be entertaining, so the game will never have their full attention.

[@LauraVisionArt]

@@viewbuster1979 You have a point. Streamers will have their chat and alerts to get distracted by. But Yutubers (as in not doing it live) also get distracted to some degree. Perhaps the harsh dense remark comes from all the guys who looked at the purple star next to the purple block and still didn't get it. Some extra affirmation for them would be nice. Unless your MatPat who looks everywhere except right in frount of him. You can't do anything about that.

[@ghostlyexe]

The amount of times I’ve watch KZbinrs ignore even very obvious text instructions on the screen in front of their face is crazy and sometimes very frustrating lol

[@circusdremfnafsmp6845]

Yeah lol- honestly if I ever make a game there is going to be a separate mode for KZbinrs and stuff that tries to cover them being so dense lol And even then they probably won’t get it lol

[@i.t.cgames42]

it is his fault maybe word it better and people would actually know to click it you just sound biased
