Hi, the reason the skeletons just sink into the ground like that when they die is because the bones are not set up correctly on their death animation, so when they try to do the death animation they just sorta do *that* instead Also, a lot of the models used are from synty studios, theyre pretty good for low poly backs but also are aware of the previous problem (they do not have 5 fingers but rather a bit of a mitten hand) so they also tell you how to make sure the avatars are set up for proper animations also also, the popping in is an unbelievably easy fix by adding different LOD groups, since the skybox is the unity default its safe to say its developed in unity, which allows the use of LOD groups, there is no code involved and a checkmark that allows "crossfading" instead of just popping in Many of these games could very easily be made so much better if he did like even a second of talking to anyone in game dev space, but as is clearly the case, the dude doesnt care

[@sienihemmo]

29:51 I know the video is 4 months old by now, but just to try and dispel the myth: Steams 2 hour refund window isn't a hard limit. The 2 hour limit is just where Steam doesn't need any reasoning for why you should get a refund. You can still request a refund even past the 2 hours, but you need to justify why you should get it. For example, I've gotten several refunds after around 4-6 hours of playtime because I gave Steam a reason for it. Like for a slow paced strategy game, I plainly explained "The tutorial was 3 hours long, so I only realised the game wasn't for me after 4 hours." So for the pack in the video, a good enough reasoning would likely be "there were 4 games in the pack and it took me 45 minutes each to realise that all of them were cheap asset flips that don't have any more content to play through." The only thing you need to keep in mind is that Steam will keep count of how often you do it. So if you're constantly refunding games after 6 hours of playing, they'll block you from getting any refunds for a period of time. But once or twice a year is fine.

[@amirulhakim6899]

you know i've seen a screenshot of a guy buying something online and he found out that the thing was fake. then he gave a review saying it was fake. the seller replied: "hehe" i think if you ask the dev of these games, they would probably say the same thing as well. hehe

Oof, these were painful. I've always found it hard to nail down what it means for a game to feel soulless, and this series does an amazing job of making me ask that question repeatedly. Because yeah, you can absolutely tell there was no love for any of these games when they were made. Compared to other, arguably equally unfunctional games that have even been on this show before, somehow there's still a tangible feeling of "they're trying" in the others. They might have failed, but you can tell they were trying their hardest, but just were too inexperienced to know what they were doing and the games fell apart as a result. Not here. These are just soulless husks. And despite how long this series has gone on for by now, I still just can't quite figure out what makes that tangible difference.

[@CainXVII]

They also tend to have some thought for detail put into them, maybe it's real ugly and glitchy and you can't for the life of you understand why, but when you look through the window someone has gone through the trouble of putting something on the other side. Or thought about tricky puzzles. It feels like someone spent time on it, they just didn't have the tools to do it well. These feel like the least time possible was spent on the games.

[@mbpl2776]

Bro the last game was literally walk sim with talking to NPC feature but the player itself is an NPC

[@Outpost-13-Hockey]

Why not just go to the police for help? Can you imagine a real world scenario where you're just chilling out outside your cabin, and an injured person, bleeding from a bus crash arrives and you're like - "Yeah, I can help you. But first I need you to complete a series of mundane quests." These are the only games under 2 hours that you can finish and request a refund without a moral quandary. But don't do that to good games under a couple of hours, people were refunding Dave Szymanski's games and that's just being a dick.

how tf does murder of the bear lake have a game thing on youtube

[@nathanjordon6950]

4:35 The guy remembers where he dropped the damn thing and yet he didn't think to pick it up. Instead, he just thought he'd leave it then stand there in the middle of nowhere waiting for some random dude to pick it up for him.

[@acrofanatic]

But....did you grap the man his mushrooms?? I need to know! 😂

[@chrisjlee2013]

“I need help finding my gasoline” *proceeds to tell where the gasoline is* 😂😂😂

[@Zenniverse]

Wow, it’s really cool seeing a game made with RPG Builder in the wild. I’m a game dev who’s been using this system for years. It’s a fantastic tool and the creator/community around it is amazing. It’s been really popular lately and I figure a lot of people are just racing to make their game first, since this is the only other game I’ve seen released with this tool so far.

[@bzipoli]

is it all low poly or may vary? i found that really dope

[@Zenniverse]

@@bzipoli You can use any assets you want, but the ones Blink makes are stylized sort of like WoW graphics.

[@Margonite]

Winston didn't do anything indecenct because he knew... Big Brother was watching him.

[@edwardmagnus8316]

Steam really should keep these prices on check.

[@3of6mylove]

I don't think steam decides the prices. Besides, you can just refund it. These "games" clearly have less than 2 hours of "gameplay."

[@wowololo5532]

i haven't seen anyone mention it yet but the town area in the first game seems to be a hotdogs horseshoes and handgrenades modded map called wurst city i can't tell if it's *exactly* the map, but i wouldn't be surprised

[@TheRicoss]

First game there where 3 police cars standing at the crash site and this dude thought f*ck it I am gonna walk.

[@picahudsoniaunflocked5426]

During that segment I kept getting that famous Mr Rogers' quote in my head about how you have to "find the Helpers" when bad things happen; just the idea a traumatized kid would walk away from the burning bus to start running errands for Winston lol.

[@TheReZisTLust]

Concussion maybe 😅

He's probably black

[@jaymaybeplays5923]

Wiz I dont know how you find the patience to play these games lol . Dont get me wrong, Im greatful you do cause the videos are great! 😂

[@TheReZisTLust]

Money increases patience lol

[@islandzuk8531]

The second zombie game uses a asset that's no longer being developed by the team or sold it's full of bugs and probably downloaded online for free since it's the oldest version of the asset with no recoil

[@larrywalsh9939]

These games have GOT to be an embarrassment to amateurish hacks everywhere.

[@funnybone7705]

3 cop cars next to the bus and we need to find help...

[@nicholasdelaney1407]

The second game at one point made me say, "SO LONG CALL OF DUTY NAZI ZOMBIES There's a new zombie horde shooter in town!" Then I saw you walk through the wall and was like,"Oh...nevermind..."

[@kaineandrews3790]

I don’t know if maybe it was a store asset originally or not, but the chick on the left at the beginning of Bear Lake is one of the possible player avatars from Headliner: NoviNews (which is a really good game and worth checking out, by the by.)

[@ForbiddenFF]

The school trip town area looks familiar. Like it was from some mobile game I played or something.

[@Jean-Denis_R_R_Loret]

27:14 The "fisherman" randomly asking for some srhooms, not even talking about the previous guy wasted surrounded by bottles, it suits very well this "game" 😂

[@RichardDong68]

Murder of the Bear Lake seems to like the word "bye". Sums up my entire experience sitting through this guy playing it.

[@torylva]

It being priced at 30-ish dollars and then immediately put at 90% sale "permanently" is actually be illegal in many parts of the world.

[@JustToSaveYou]

Finding good games with less than 100 ratings is an actual skill you can level up. I've actually gotten kind of okay at it! Negative reviews carry more weight, if it's early access and doesn't have an update within three months it's probably bad, does the developer handle negative reviews well, do the negative reviews specifically call out bad controls? The acquired part is learning to recognize premade assets for different engines and parsing a thrown together world from a moderate to well built one. Premade Assets aren't necessarily bad, they're great for people that don't have art skills, but most cash grabs use a very specific group because they're free or extremely cheap, then put them together in really vasic ways. That comment got away from me, but I have a passion for the games under $5, made by tiny teams because they can be so incredibly weird.

[@rclark777]

The first game makes more sense if you imagine that the player character is actually the adult bus driver, and did not go to the police because he caused the accident.

[@lighthunter8075]

Last game has some intense dialog. Really keeps you on edge 😂

[@controlplusc27]

"I go now bye" Game of the Year moment
