The game is ABSOLUTELY a deep dive into Zane's psyche, as he is deluded by his passion for game design/coming off as a cool and financially successful person, but he is still somewhat aware of his failures in life. Add in the fact that it is heavily implied that Zane comes from a poor background (borderline 'white trash' if you really want to be more negative about it) and was deeply affected from seeing his mom work herself to the bone, and seeing her be in a VERY toxic relationship with his on-again off-again stepfather. Mevins actually is implied to both be his boss at Dollar Shaver (the dollar store that Zane's mom worked at, as mentioned in Hypnospace Outlaw), and his stepfather, hence his vitriolic hatred for Mevins and turning him into such a grotesque final boss.💀 Alongside that information, you also have to consider all of the super nostalgic comments made by him in the bonus levels of places he loved in his youth, his constant idolization of Mikey Sikey (literally taking a in-universe nu metal vocalist, putting him in the game and making them act as a stand-in for his biological father, as he views him as a positive father figure), and ALLLLLLL of the various small references to Zane's time on Hypnospace (the t-nubs hoax on Teentopia, Gumshoe Gooper, his love/hate relationship towards the SquisherZ franchise, Boppo's meats, etc), it is VERY clear that Zane is still suffering from implied childhood trauma and is still clinging to the few positive memories of his past. 😭 Zane is desperately clinging onto his delusions, as he genuinely hopes that the money he will make from Slayers X will help him and his son have a better life, as it could help him to avoid repeating the cycle of poverty and social shame that he witnessed his mother going through. More and more canon lore about Zane's personality and views on his life are shown through the game’s official twitter account, so I HIGHLY recommend checking it out, to see Zane interact with all kinds of questions and comments on there! The person running the account, which I THINK is Jay Tholen, is doing a excellent job of making it really feel like Zane himself is real and active on there!

SPOILERS AHEAD (Sort of?): So, back when I did my first playthrough of Hypnospace, Zane was one of the victims of the braincrash. So, when I heard the game was announced, since I didn't really look into Zane's lore, I had a rather grusome feeling that Dylan had created the game based on the stored memories on his pages, or perhaps even deeper. Thankfully, a quick read on his wiki page explains everything regarding that, but I think also having just dodged a bullet like the braincrash incident would only cement things further.

Funny thing is, his “delusions” as Adam Chase (the “friend” who helped Zane make Slayers X) are kinda coming true, since many people in the real world genuinely love this game. It makes me really happy to see people support this game and its creators so much, even if Zane isnt real. Though, too be fair, most of them are people who played and enjoyed Hypnospace, and people who didnt play Hypnospace probably wouldnt understand Slayers X, but its the thought that counts

Man, I hope Zane's game becomes a success in-universe that he can shift to game design full time and live a more meaningful life, one that his now deceased mother can be proud of. In my first playthrough of Hypnospace Outlaw I forgot to check on Zane's page during the Mindcrash so I missed out on banning him, so in that version he died alongside Carl Parker, Mavis and Tiffany. No matter what, it seems Zane's path in life is one with strife and constantly taking Ls, so by all accounts his 2000's edgelord attitude seems to be less of a inability to move on and more of a coping mechanism for all his life's struggles.

Multiple times throughout development, Zane (not Jay Tholen, ZANE [yes jay really got into the character]) made many calls for the community on his server THE STEEL SEWER to make things for the game, such as balloons, newspapers and stuff like that! also I was one of the people who got their balloon into the game, and while that may be small, im still proud of it

I like how there's a kind of sad side to zane's character when more details about his life is revealed, and when the "angsty abrasive teenage jackass" veneer that he puts on is ripped away (eg : living with a single mother who both struggled to make ends meet, and who was repeatedly having her heart played around with by an unfaithful rich asshole that probably only thought of her as a side hoe). I really like characters like Zane who seem like they're only one note gag characters, but end up having noticeably more depth to them the more you look into them.

Dropsy is all about a creepy clown whose goal is to make people happy. HypnOSpace is about how the job you're given requires you to enforce laws that don't tend to have the best interests of the community in mind, often serving to make the website less enjoyable for its users in order to benefit a set of faceless business people, all the while seeing the daily lives of these people and the effects of what you do to them.

Great Video on a pretty great game. I'm like 80% sure the melee enemies joke is that they make the same kinda sounds as David Draiman from the band Disturbed. I also did love the extra Boise level, even if it's the most confusing level in the game by far from a layout perspective. I think it's an achievement that there was a point during the Boise level where I felt that Zane was a real ass person. The game touches upon so many experiences and little details. Like the game has a constant theme of poverty if ya look for it, many of the places that Zane visits thought the game are these pretty dingy areas from his mom's apartment to the literal trailer park. It's conveyed through even minor details like Zane is a CEO and a world-famous dude in the story but his mom still lives in an apartment and she is still dating Melvin for his money, Zane is just so used to being poor that ideal of being a CEO is just a position to him, he doesn't thing of the money like most kids. God I could go on about this game for like a few more paragraphs if I could.

When you dig into it, you also realize that zane wasn’t thinking of himself when he was wanting to get this game made, but he also must have been thinking of his family’s sake, as well. He talks so highly of his son when viewing the pic of his kid’s drawing, and while i haven’t seen if his wife is ever mentioned, i’m willing to guess they do have a stable relationship. Even the trailer has a more downing implication, saying that the game was in the making from a sketch book to full cd. I’m willing to bet he was simply looking through his old stuff one day and came across his old sketchbook, and as a last ditch effort, asked a high school friend to help code the game. Not even being an actual game, but a mod for an in-world game. The poor guy was just trying to help his family in however possible way he could, even if just a little.

By the way, you should really check out the Doom modding scene. There's a stonking huge amount of amazing stuff on there. Total conversions in the style of something like this, map mods, and awesome single-run cinematic maps. The modding community is incredible and this game almost feels like a tribute to it, what with it being a "in lore" mod of Hypnospace's equivalent of Doom.

You’ll notice, the jester brains have that ‘beef brain’ frying from the fear mongering in hypnospace..

if Nitro plays boom-shoots, who'll tell Civvie to move his sheets? The cell needs space, and the floor is free country.

i couldn't really get into hypnospace but i enjoyed this. had no idea the game had so much subtext, that's so cool.

so a spoiler for hypnospace outlaw the feeling of creepiness and emptiness might have been on purpose because zane is a possible victim of the mindcrash, a virus that took the lives of multiple people. so this could have some dark implications, though it is canon that he survives; the one that got away perhaps. . .

if you ban him he gets saved from the time crash, to eventually become the manager of the local Dollar$haver and have a son (and make this game)

Hearing your opinions on Zane made me realize this is the first actual *boomer* shooter.

Every time I watch your videos, I'm thinking about writing a comment but I never can put myself together and actually write it. Today is the day tho. James, I love your content. Your work is so inspiring and professional, your reviews are well balanced and I just love your taste in games. I'm not a gamer, but games and nerd stuff always were huge part of inspiration for my illustrations and every single od your videos is expanding my horizons. Thank you for your passionate work, all the good energy and lot of interesting info on subjects I would personally not even thought about.
