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😭

[@6SleepySpades9]

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)

1:06:04 I think at this point we all expect Matpat to entirely miss the impact moments in any game 😂 I mean, c'mon, the man missed his own easter egg in Poppy Playtime chapter 3, and glitched himself halfway through the entirety of security breach ruin, we all knew he was gonna miss something somehow 😂 GTLive playthroughs are truly unique in the world of video game youtube, defying the expectations of a lore channel and giving us only the best /Lh

[@Murrytmds]

This. Ironically watching Matpat play looking for LORE is the worst way to see any lore in a game. he's never actually looking where the developers expect you to be looking.

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

[@generalcorgi698]

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

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

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.

"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

[@AlexDayz]

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!

[@pemanilnoob]

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

[@jamesdempsey1330]

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.

[@Tulip_bip]

Theft king being a guy in his mid 30's who makes drama videos about fnaf is so funny to me

[@ivyscripting7240]

It was really fun watching you react to this and I’m glad MatPat played our game. Definitely get your point about not wanting to be called “the better Banban game dev”, but I think it’s fair to acknowledge that you did a really awesome remake of Chapter 1.

[@ivyscripting7240]

Also MatPat missing Lloyd multiple times was hilarious.

[@jonahrk_rider3602]

I would find it funny if Rambley had a moment were he snapped and says a curse word but it's just racoon noises lmao

[@katherinetressler1508]

Rambley: ok buddy, I'll just open this door for you Door: *doesn't open* Rambley: SON OF A (angry chittering)

[@jacobwansleeben]

Or it does the Digital Circus thing where it's automatically censored in a way thematic to Indigo Park.

[@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.

[@sondersighs]

I think its incredibly smart to add a ost into the game. Thats what I feel makes people comes back to a game and I dont believe any games in this genre has a full ost that isnt just scary ambience music

[@sprire2840]

@@dioxoi8369that’s not exactly a full on indie game though

[@dylanzlol7293]

Fnaf 2 has the music box music which is something at least

[@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!

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.

Imagine making a popular horror game and matpat doesnt talk about it, could you imagine how much someone would have to screw up for that?

[@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

[@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.

[@-ZH]

By google trends, indigo park is currently more searched than banban

[@rayanzz1410]

Nice

[@Akarashii]

That's pretty impressive, even though banban isn't a great game that's what caused it to be super popular so indigo park being an amazing game and being made by the guy who recreated banban is still just so impressive

[@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.

[@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

[@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💕

[@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.

[@droycon]

1:05:55 I actually did the exact same thing matpat did and looked at all the chairs to search for collectibles and missed Loid lol (only now found out he was there to begin with) At least i did see Molly at the train ride

[@loganentertainment1814]

I’m happy Indigo Park is getting noticed, and I’m excited for Markiplier to play it.

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

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.

[@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.

[@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...

[@knaughta.masso-kist5944]

"It'd be nice to have more gameplay" is my main criticism of the game in general lol the story and characters are great but the gameplay is definitely lacking IMO

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.Achorn]

Speaking of the tubes section I love that you actually textured in the wrinkles I think that detail alone is huge in making it feel more real and creepy rather then the way it has often been used as a cheat to have bright colors with no textures but it always looks cheap.

I know im 2 weeks late but i hope you get my input as food for thought to help with some of the problems. 1 collectables in bokes like FNAF:SB or something similar to help separate them from the world design. 2 the orange access issue could be fixed by just adding in the lines "Here I've updated you access to Orange that should let you into the theater" that would be hard to do now as you would have to record new lines and make a new animation for it so that is more a thought to keep in mind for the next chapter as I have seen a lot of youtubers need just a little bit more of a helping hand. 3 surprisingly I have seen 2 people miss the lion witch isn't much but weird that it happened twice to help I would suggest start with the spotlight off and have it turn on with a loud noise that draws your attention to the stage. 4 the loud noise that comes from the band that a lot of people missed maybe just add to the subtitles "[loud sonic noise from wrist band]" or something. any way loved this and will be supporting on Kickstarter when I get paid good luck to you and your amazing team

It's good to see that Matpat enjoyed your game you did such amazing work and you deserve it and to the rest of your team they did such an amazing job I personally cannot wait for chapter 2 myself I'm quite excited even though it might be a long way I'll be here all the way ❤

4:32 nice one on that Rambley’s Rush Mini-game Soundtrack! It really calls back to the later days of the Sega Genesis with Sonic 3 and Knuckles in terms of its 16 bit soundtrack while being its own unique thing. Well done! Also the end credits song is such an ear-worm! Good job all around.

[@Brilchan]

I don't really play games like that but Rambley is adorable, I love him great work building the character

[@necrofai6713]

He is... so wholesome and its so sweet that he basically refuses to shit on anyone to make himself look better (ie with banban or the "just a cash grab" criticism)

Fun fact: early cryogenically frozen bodies have been found to have decomposed.

[@theheadlesssoldier]

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

[@maxmachac9756]

What was it?

[@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.

[@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!

[@Dr.Silly-xl6tz]

5:03 Yo the Indigo Park motif goes so hard bro! 🔥🔥 Also 13:30 Rambley is a gamer confirmed? Side note, this game is my newest obsession! I love it so much!

[@echonvoid]

I was absolutely happy flapping (stimming) for ya my dude! Congrats!

[@chaosXP3RT]

53:47 You can't have cute anthropomorphic characters and not expect the Furries to start shipping! But you'll definitely have more dedicated fans! Great job on the game! I'm excited for Chapter 2!

[@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!!!

[@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!

[@zacharysmith6062]

Good stream Geese. Can't wait for chapter 2

[@FoxyFlyer12]

You mean chapter 2?

[@silly_lily6241]

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

[@kaijuultimax9407]

Really cool, happy for you! I'm working on my own mascot horror game rn and if MattPat ever played it I think I would faint lol

[@clwilliams9276]

Here we have a humble developer who made an amazing first chapter with memorable yet easily re-creatable characters (like ash said: could easily be found in a 14 year old's sketchbook, drawing their latest favorite character on repeat), an amazing team of ppl who get it (both it in reference to the story and the mascot horror gaming community), and a desire to butler the community around it any way possible, including free music n no copyright infringing things. NOT TO MENTION THE END BOP. I held off on watching any Indigo park content for a bit, then finally watched Backseat's playthrough a week or so ago n now just watched mattpatt's playthrough. That ending song is gonna be so stuck in my head. I absolutely adore it. Its a memorable OST that I hope a music analysis yter gets a hold of to break down cuz it deserves the recognition imo. The fact that it took a year but got more gamebreaker gametesters than most indie games says a lot about ur involvement with the community n dedication to making it a really good and fun game. U take negative feedback, but any artist needs a period of time to ride high after a release, otherwise burnout would hit quick n no one needs that. So its a really good thing u chose to hold off on watching a vid that would clearly be about trashing the game (also saw another comment mention, its not the fact that it would trash the game, its the fact that its a Theft King vid n his opinions only ever r meant to hurt, not critique or build. Maybe having someone who has watched it, list out the points n corresponding reasons for said points would be better than listening to that guy's bs). I watched matpat's gameplay first n am typing this at the start of the reaction part of the vid. 25 mins into the vid. So I wanna add, I disagreed with all if matpat's gameplay critiques cuz they seemed more like choices for playstyle. Specifically the critique about the collectibles being too much like the merch ingame. That feels like a specifically chosen thing to not break immersion. The collectibles being something u see in other places makes sense for some types of playstyles. Although maybe having the non-collectible versions in obvious groups would help to differentiate without breaking the immersion. 🤷‍♂️

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@Kelsey-oz4sy]

I really love your game and I think you did a wonderful job! I don’t know if you’ll get to read this since you have some many comments, but if you do, I had a couple of ideas if you think any of them might help. For the collectible dolls at the beginning, maybe instead of doing normal toys, the collectibles could be bigger stuffed animals. Like a limited edition Rambley that’s twice the size of the regular toy. Then you wouldn’t have to try and have all of the normal sized toys at the beginning and could spread the larger ones out throughout the park. And for the Lloyd attack, maybe you could use a different sound? Like maybe instead of a dog whistle, you could have the wristband play siren type of sound or something? Just a couple of ideas I had, but regardless, I love your game and am so excited to see more! Thank you for sharing this gem you created with us!

[@Mable22]

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.
