The shipping side of Pressure is such a hot mess but it's also a great warning to those wanting to use a PERSONAL characters for a PUBLIC game. If you have some strict ideas for your character like canon marriages where the spouse isn't seen or mentioned in game it's best to either add them in or keep the partner faceless/nameless if you get upset at people ignoring your canon. Basically... expect people to be freaky and if it makes you uncomfortable it might be a good idea to make a similar version for yourself or the public game

[@FelisImpurrator]

Some creators and fandoms get downright unhinged about this stuff. Like apparently there's this fantasy-themed music thing called Yaelokre... where the artist's response to rule 34 being made was to basically weaponize illegitimate DMCA claims by encouraging their fans to report art they don't like for copyright infringement. And they've done absolutely nothing to curb the rampant harassment and graphic death threats their fans send. I dunno, I think calling someone else's NSFW art of their characters "literally a gun pointed at their head" and dogwhistling for fandom brigading isn't very healthy.

[@0verpricedcoffee553]

@@FelisImpurrator when did that happen? all i know from Keath (creator of yaelokre) just said they were uncomfortable with nsfw being drawn of their minor charactors

[@FelisImpurrator]

@@0verpricedcoffee553 uh, recently? They literally created a form and encouraged their fanbase to report all NSFW fanwork specifically so it could be copyright claimed and taken down that way. Which is textbook abuse of DMCA claims and is rightly seen as a scummy move whenever any corporation does it. Also this runs the risk of exposing minor fans to NSFW work, incites a lot of stochastic violence-style brigading from the fans, and also they've just not acknowledged their fans engaging in rampant PDFjacketing and graphic death threats against people who do nsfw content. Twitter is a shitshow. Anti culture is basically indistinguishable from QAnon. And that fandom is one of the most grotesquely parasocial ones I've seen in years. I'll be real... I genuinely don't care all that much about any sort of moral judgment or whatever, generally, but when it comes to non-physical interactions I have a big red line: Weaponizing groups of people/public opinion. If you're going to fight people fight them yourself. Directing a crowd through public shaming or brigading is vile and cowardly. At absolute best the way they're behaving is irresponsible and naive if they just don't understand the negative externalities of behaving this way as a creator; if they do understand and/or condone their fans' behavior then it's pathetic and underhanded.

[@ArtzyZero]

@@gremshabs It's probably better to not use personal OC's when possible. I've got my own and honestly we do get attached, they're our creations and often reflect on us as people to some extent. So to have something so personal put into the hands of strangers to do as they please, it's going to be upsetting if there's any personal attachment to that character. It's often better to create a character for the purpose of the game with the knowledge of how weird people can be. It helps create a disconnect where it's easier to ignore 'that' side of the fandom if you know beforehand that it was going to happen.

[@lawnmower-pq8vk]

The shipping drama is so stupid… enough people have already talked about the fans needing to chill out which I agree with but what I’m confused about is why Zerum was so mad that people were ignoring the canon, because that’s a really common fandom thing. You can’t really stop it and it doesn’t matter anyways- Like it’s still their game, the marriage is still canon, regardless of whether or not people like it. Just let them “cope” and ignore them. But I don’t know them personally so I don’t know their reasoning for getting so agitated over that specifically, I understand their anger over everything else though because the rumors being spread about them were disgusting

[@scrittle]

Not criticism, I'm just separating my points: 1) The shipping drama was solved and the plushies will arrive around Christmas, 2) Roblox devs are unusually toxic like their community. I remember checking out moderation in Doors and the way they went about FAQ was ridiculous. Essentially, there was a time the devs were moving apartments and had to stall development, so instead of giving transparent updates and opening an accessible FAQ, they pinned a message in #general from months ago stating anybody talking about updates would be muted/warned. *If the devs didn't drop the floor 2 release date several times, maybe the community wouldn't be asking so many questions.*

Absolute amazing video! I wanted to highlight some of the cool stuff i wanted to compliment: -> i havent seen anyone go into detail about the angler variants -> i actually didnt know about the scan lines in the door visor, usually always would go for the breathing instead of waiting for sparks to show up -> blitz might actually be a bit rarer since i only encountered them like 2 times in my 20 runs -> flashbeacons are in my opinion defitnely one of the best lighting ways because they actually dont piss off squidles. Yeah you can defitnely enrage a eyefestation if youre not careful (happened to me once and caused me to die to a locker out of panic) but it becomes muscle memory after a while -> They should defitnely add a warning for the parasites during the finale because i had my health brought to at least 10 during the finale because of the lack of it. Something that they could do is add a variant voiceline if the the trench bleeder room didnt happen -> something that pressure does better than doors is probably accessibility for its difficulty like the ability to be able to revive with a resouce you can obtain by just playing and that light resources are available more often especially since batteries are universal for all lights instead of having to find the same lightsource to recharge. Other thing is the fact the revives only become turned off during the finale while doors deactives it when you reach the last 20 or smh doors. -> Room variety improves in making the place feel big but not feeling drawn out like the doors room with 4 corners which takes a while to find the key. I wont comment on the community stuff since i just like hearing what people have to say about the game itself but also how i dont have much experience since i only play with friends and stuff. Amazing video still, hope you comment in some other horror games like identity fraud someday!

I will say Blitz is absolutely common. Its almost guaranteed you'll see him in one of your runs Either you just didn't notice blitz, or you're so extremely lucky that it just doesn't show up. 20 runs is a lot to go through just to not see it, but it could also be because you died to something else earlier

This video was very well structured, separating the gameplays, the critiques and the overall community in their respective lanes.

[@lunarlicorice]

not all the way through the video, but i must say i appreciate the addition of a deaf mode. a lot of horror games have a heavy reliance on sound with no other alternatives (last time i played doors it was like this, unsure if they've updated it). i play most games muted because i am horribly sensitive to sound and would rather not have trigger panic attack, making most of these games inaccessible to me. i wish more games had this option.

[@acorn3810]

I feel like making Sebastian married just because people liked him too much was kinda a dumb decision. I understand why Zerum would do that but at the same time... Money plus Fame. Of course I wouldn't expect them to just make... art of Sebastian but they already have a plushie of Sebastian. Any publicity is good publicity, all you gotta do is just ignore the bad apples and deal with them accordingly. Ignore them rather than changing the lore to something evitability pointless like simping for a fish. Like most people that simp for Sebastian just really likes them but not to a weird degree.

The Trenchbleeder room doesn't replace the Searchlights that's just a bug that happens sometimes

[@Torqegood]

Advanced lockerless player info here. After suffering forever I noticed that most anglers do not spawn unless you encounter 2 light rooms in a row. I think pinkie can spawn in a dark room but that one specifically doesn't flicker lights anyways. And maybe the multi, I unfortunately have only run into the multi once when I started and instantly died.. If you run into a dark room and the previous light room did not spawn an angler it does not pop up. Most anglers are actually really lenient if you know what corners you can hide in. Unfortunate you didn't understand the bugs as well, but heading too far out of the lights was an odd thing to do. I never did that until I actively tried to die on purpose. I also still feel like Pressure feels better than Doors. It's more smooth to go through it, the darkness isn't as blinding and impeding, the mid boss isn't as annoying and easy to take way too long into. Plus the minibosses don't get your teammates killed if you leave it. Also like pressure not forcing you to count every room in your head kinda sucks. Also Pressure doesn't rip my cosmetics off my character.

[@HungryWarden]

@@Torqegoodyou can barely see 1 foot in front of you. Doors gives you a vision bubble around your character so that you can see walls before you bump into them. Also, what do you mean Pressure is smoother to run through? It feels way more annoying, especially since they nailed the frequency of Rush in Doors, but Angler comes way too often and also the spawning mechanic sucks, being on a timer instead of having a chance to spawn every new door you open. It should only be like that in the Ridge, the timer is unnecessary, inconsistent, and makes going afk in any lit room for a long period of time a death sentence. They also have way too many references, to the point where it just gets tiring when every cool or new idea is just from another damn game. They should definitely tone down the references a ton in future updates. Doors has way more variety in environments. You’ve got an abandoned mine, an abandoned office building, an abandoned hotel and an abandoned basement (?). Pressure just has the constant grays, blacks and blues everywhere in the Blacksite, rarely deviating from this theme. Not to mention that when you are underwater, one of the main draws of this game and one of the factors that makes it distinct from Doors, it has not only less monsters than the normal game, but the only exclusive monsters are Trenchbleeders and those stupid parasites that add nothing except ruining damageless runs at the finale because it does a terrible job of showing you where the parasites are. There’s also how boring and repetitive the game can be on occasion. Sometimes barely anything will spawn at all, and sometimes you get Angler spam. I love Pressure, but it has some glaring flaws that cause Doors to be better for me, and I’m upset that nobody talks about these flaws.

Fans tend to forget that people who make the games have feelings on their own works and disregard it as their obsession is with the game itself.

I think it's great to see new games that wear their inspiration on their sleeve. There's nothing wrong with being inspired to make something of your own! Be that as it may, it can be a little frustrating when a popular new game is, to put it plainly, 'identical' to the main source that inspired it. By that, I mean that there are enough features, mechanics, design choices, etc that have simply been copied over, that if you put the two games next to each other, someone that doesn't know might just assume one game is DLC or an expansion for the other. If this is this developer's first foray into game design, then by all means, this is still an exceptional result -- but it's hard to give them as much credit as I want to when the game is almost a shot-for-shot remake of Doors with a fresh coat of paint.

"Time for a minigame, A$$wipe" -Some meme whose origin I can't recall.

[@SilkMoth-w1c]

Awesome video! Your commentary never disappoints. I'm gonna yap a bit about the section on the fandom stuff. Moreso my take away on the whole situation as it's one I've seen repeated a lot lately. Pressure's a cool game and it's unfortunate that the devs butting heads with the fandom has overshadowed the dev team's hard work. That being said. I've never played pressure, I don't even have a roblox account. I am not speaking as a fan. I'm speaking as a creative and a grown adult familiar with internet culture when I say the following. Someone with influence needs to sit new creatives down and get the idea that "you cannot gatekeep your product" through their skulls. Because I have watched over and over, in this year alone; creators make a project public, it gains traction, they find a subsection of the fandom that is doing something they personally don't like, they try to stop it, followed by the inevitable streisand effect, and then the creator crashes out completely. I have watched talented people fold under the weight of their own impossible goal of having "the good and normal fandom" and then run away crying so many God damn times, I'm begining to run dry on sympathy. Creators need to stop trying to rule over their fans with an iron fist. Nobody likes being subjugated. You're kicking a beehive when you tell people "don't draw that." "Don't write that" especially when the person being talked down to isn't even trying to get the creators attention. If a fan sends a creator something that upsets the creator, that is when you say "don't send me that" NOT "don't make that" A boundary is "don't do this to me" a boundary is NOT "don't do this with my story" because, as blunt as it is to say, fanworks are not yours. Sure, it used ideas made by you (ideas that are just versions of other people's ideas, as some creators tend to forget) and built upon them, but regardless of the likeness to your work, that fan creation is not yours. It's the fan's. They made it. You cannot take that from them no matter how much you hate it, because it's not your right to impead on other people's creativity for your comfort. There is one exception to this. When it involved the creator directly. Unflattering depictions of the creator or their sona, that's either bullying, or if it's sexual in nature just straight up sexual abuse. I'm not exaggerating. Someone hounding you for information on your work or demanding you to make something for them. That's just being a fucking nusance. Tell em to eat shit and get blocked. Don't let your fans push you around. Threats an insults. Harassment. Hit that loser with your car. When people are directly cruel towards you, kill (block) em. Put em on blast on Twitter even. Cuz at that point they're asking for it. When people are doing something you don't like, away from you. Mind your business. You're entitled to blocking them if you wish. Though I suggest maybe making an "official" account for your product that you don't use to scroll feeds just so no fan is denied updates and news about the thing they like (unless they're abusive towards you ofc. Then they dont deserve the inside scoop.) and only blocking them on your personal accounts. You have your story. You have your characters Nobody can take that from you. Nobody can ruin that for you either. The only thing capable of ruining your creative works, is your mentality. And being over protective to the point of reaching far past reasonable boundaries is the fastest way to make yourself hate your own creations. And the fastest way to make others hate you and your creation. Chill out. Care less. Stop trying to stop the flow of the river. You're just going to cause a flood. And then Nobody will be happy.

35:25 you can die after this cave (if puddles of void mass spawns). The creator of pressure did say that he came with the fake door idea bc of a game his friend made, a fan game of rooms with these hearing things in fake doors.

[@melasnexperience]

The last part of this video is a reminder that a LOT of fandom is unwell and operates on "notorious lolcow that won't be named here" levels of inability to differentiate fiction from reality. It's not all on the developers, but I do agree that there needs to be more of a barrier between creators & audience than there is on social media. I've had creators come out of nowhere cuz of vanity searching mad that I didn't praise them enough, and I've seen way more than enough of people who think the creators should only do what they want & get very rude when they don't. Not sure what the solution is at this point besides "avoid Discord at all costs" or "wait for modern fandom standards to be registered in the next DSM revision", unfortunately.

14:00 - the soundtrack for that is called “Voluntary Suicide”

[@kios3a]

42:25 actually Glitch USED to have Void's role too, before it was replaced with Void due to the fact Glitch wasn't canon and that was confusing.

Man, having grown up with early '00s roblox, it's still weird for me to see how far it's come since I was younger. Back in my day we just had stuff like Obbys, Disaster survival maps, and stuff like Galleons (and Tix, may they rest in piece). Having dynamic cutscenes and intros was not a thing. ....but damn, the community on the site is still a shitshow, good to know. Some things never chance

[@Radio_ink114]

37:58 they are called node monsters since the doors have a node that takes time off a timer, which once hits 0 rolls to spawn an angler / variant or pandemonium

[@zcramblo]

By 55:20 it hit me the unhealthy amount of sa2 fandub references in this video

[@WyrmpantstheClown]

GLAMROCK DUSTY TALKING ABOUT PRESSURE?! THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER. I'M SO HAPPY.

[@HatofInquiry]

35:55 Another thing to mention after you survive the Searchlights and head to the submarine, is if you ever feel the need to explore the dock for any more documents, do BE CAREFUL because there is a chance that a void mass can still appear in any of the lockers, making it the final place you can actually die. Be cautious when looking around because the last thing you want after surviving everything the game throws at you, is to get surprised and yoinked by the void, killing your run when you were literally right next to freedom.

[@silliest-astro]

one time my friend had a wall dweller spawn IN THE FINAL SUBMARINE.

[@Lost_S]

13:10 Oh so every time I saw those purple outlines it was a teammate I accidentally left to die! good to know 😭

[@gunga01to]

22:51 , additionally documents found in the Raveyard (aka the █████████ Graveyard, located in Eastern Scotland) either through dying or finding them, will be categorised under “Special”. The “Special” group is to do with documents unrelated to the Hadal Blacksite division, or the N.O.S.T. Subdivision.

Dusky, what was that at the end? DUSKY?? Amazing video Never played neither Doors nor Pressure but watched people play and honestly peak. I didn't even know things were happening in their community but honestly, the moment I saw Sebastian I was like "oh ya, people are gonna go _too_ weird on you" AND loved you speaking about that part specifically and your own Headcanon that now is also my headcanon, thanks. Still, what did the do to the poor animatronic, what did they fuse DUSKY with? TTATT

[@NormalAccount2008]

@@a_world_worth_living_in I KNOW!!!!! Why is nobody talking about it??

[@wolfmoonens3378]

About the doors rooms feeling samey. It feels kind of like thats the point. As far as we know we are in limbo, A limenal plain whillest pressure is basically just scp but under the sea. Also there actually is a false alarm monster in pressure

[@Eryn302]

45:02 Red lights turn on after a while of staying in a dark room, it's called the backup generator in the lore, it won't guide you to a keycard but it will give you the light needed to find it and get through the room, I don't know the conditions of it showing up though because I don't see it much lol

[@SSKJ64]

So THAT’S why your in-video sprites have the Sonic eyes!

[@GunGryphon]

Very well done, collecting all that footage was not a short or easy task. More props for also taking the time to address a bit of a scary topic for game devs.

[@Bakedninjet]

cant believe Sebastian killed me for content

[@gamingwithzack4503]

Liking because I have been sort of a Pressure lore fanatic since I discovered it and hearing THAT about Mr. Lopee just made my jaws drop, especially with how much it lines up with headcanons I had came up with.

[@Kai20040]

Honestly I love this game and there're so many really talented artists in the fan base

[@patrice8487]

39:28 apparently zeal said the good people wasn’t inspired by dupe from doors at all and was inspired by some horror game where you had to listen for a monster behind a door

Well now i'm scared of the sound of metal screeching, type sound. 10/10 game

the only nitpick I could ever have about sebastians marriage is why the heck does he refer o his wife by her gamer tag? /j (unless zerum is also a normal ass name and Im just an uncultured swine who doesnt know about that)

[@Levii_animates]

Idk if it’s been said before but at 46:32 you mention preferring a simpler ambience with no gunshots, intercoms, or voices in the background. Before the friendly fire update it actually was like that! It was way scarier to me that way as it felt less lived in and you as a player felt way more alone, as it really was just you and the monsters in there. However I can admire what the extra ambience does for the theme and fitting the story even if it does sacrifice some of the spooky factor

Should we tell the president.

[@Crazayman4ever]

30:08 I can relate to this way too much. While the game was in the open beta the trenchbleeder rooms still existed, but if I remember correctly there wasn’t any warning. So I died on like 2-3 good runs just because I didn’t think to follow the beacons.

[@AngelicaDeveloper]

You forgot to mention Spooky's Jumpscare Mansion was also the main game DOORS and Pressure are fan-made from since Spooky's came first before LSPLASH and ZEAL made their games in all honesty

[@FinetalPies]

What a coincidence I went back and watched the Snapcube SA2 dub just hours ago

[@pandora5051]

about the Mr. Lopee being a combination of Glitch & Void. In previous versions of Doors, Glitch also served both purposes, but after one of the updates (iirc the same one that added dupe) Void was added as a 'canonical' way to unstuck players left behind and Glitch was relegated as a 'non-canon' room generation fail-safe, that's why he can appear in Backdoor & Rooms as well.

[@tenn5374]

i love your videos, keep up the good work! ç

[@ellalameifwa5396]

13:56 actually my friend died after flashing Eyefestation and reported that she was still red for my friend even beyond the grave, and even after reviving, so she remembers even when you've become a ghost. I found that really funny

[@SkidTheArtist_64]

I think the game has a really interesting concept and it's actually really cool!! Although I was always iffy on how Froger looked. As someone who's played Iron Lung, Froger just looks like a reskinned version of Frog from Iron Lung. I cant be the only one who thought that right?

[@tacitgamingfanREAL]

That’s because it is, in a way. The Pressure devs asked David Szymanski for permission to use the design and it was granted.

[@SkidTheArtist_64]

@tacitgamingfanREAL Oooh I see I see, that makes a lot of sense now. Thank you for the explanation btw!

[@mauvecosmic2996]

i have the same problem with the volume mix for this game too. it took awhile to get use of. and as much as i love the music for this game. sometime they can get very loud to the point that it kind of hurting my ears. that mixed with the fact how quiet the Wall Dweller is. have me died to it many times because i cant hear its footsteps over the music and background sounds also thx u for bring light to the massive problem in the community with Sebastian and stuffs. i was there when the whole ring stuffs exploded on Twitter. seeing Zerum went from very actively interact with artists on twitter and the official discord server to barely showup to talk because everytime anything about her is mention it like massive trigger to some of these crazy fans who want to date a 60ft long fishman who isnt real. There is a thing call Headcannons, if you dont like that's he is married just like make a headcannon that suit your likings. dont go out of your way to force it on the Devs and stuffs it's really dumb.

They should add a character named "Zerum" so that it doesnt seem like Sebastian is married his creator

[@acat5770]

Kind of random to mention this in particular but... Roblox models being segmented is/was a limitation of the engine, And its not exclusive to Roblox, as some early 3D games use similar segmented models because we hadn't really figured out a better way to do it in a way that runs well yet. I'm not a Roblox dev myself, so i'm not sure if mesh deformation is already in the engine or if its soon to arrive, Roblox devs have definitely gotten better at hiding the segments though.

You need to fix the cables to power the cannon, and they need the cannon so they can clear a path for a submarine to pick you up. And the cannon isn't shooting at the Searchlights, they're shooting at something much, much bigger.
