Goodbye Volcano High - "The Future of Gaming", The Parody Game of the Beloved Snoot Game Franchise

[Duke-Diggler]

I just found out that YMS has played/is playing both GVH and Snoot.
I'm curious enough to kinda wish for some highlights, just to hear his opinion on them, but not enough to actually watch the streams...

I have seen YMS's playthrough of both snoot game and GBVH. He basically likes snoot game A LOT more than what KO_OP had made. Like, it's basically night and day. He even says that the edgy jokes in Snoot game are actually tame compared to what 4chan puts out. In contrast, he regards GBVH as a game that's actually WORSE than life is strange because he regards that game being made "without passion or soul."

Imagine making a game that's so bad that not even fucking leafs like it. That would be a NEW fucking low that you will NEVER recover from.

It's called having passion for shitposting and having a genuine interest in making something of value

I liked both ending 3 and 4. 3 for being bitter sweet. Like, actually. With that lump in my throat. And ending 4 is just nice. I also liked Lucy ( need to make a distinction between her and that dead fish from gvh. They both start insufferable, but in snoot, Lucy grows as a person, especially in 4, while Fatima is stays as your typical college graduate of gender studies version of high schooler, barely changing at all). And interaction with Anon in both endings are... great. Not gonna spoil it. Even under spoiler . I think that gvh has a right to exist. Because it spawned snoot game. Beyond that, it's a pointless game and, probably, a netflix bait for series

Unoriginal thoughts:
1) I'm not entirely sure how you blow a million dollars on a five-hour VN. The majority of a VN's cost would be... I'm assuming art? They're one of the easiest things to program. And yet they couldn't even try to find voice actors who could emote? Trish and Reed have the most generic boy/girl voices you'd expect, lacking any sort of personality or memorability. Fang is very deadpan and mumble-y. Also... considering how Fang is Arabic, Trish is black, and Rosa is Mexican, are their respective VAs actually these ethnicities? I'm not going to bother looking, but I'm going to assume not. Weird after how much left-wing media bitched about non-white characters being voiced by white voice actors, but I guess that doesn't matter if they're faggots.
2) I'm preaching to the choir, but the animation and transitions are like, very first conception-draft level? The cutscenes look servable, but the regular game movement is stiff, buggy, and overall weird. It isn't just a few cases either, it's very obvious and all throughout the game.
3) Exposition is given very clunkily. It's like all the devs know of human conversation is from reading YA books.
Maybe I should wait to talk about this more when I can actually be suffered to watch this thing in it's entirety. At least it's only five hours.

[Prophetic Spirit]

Ok, so:

• This game never gonna be finished.
• Even furries doesn't piss on this shit.
• 4chan created a parody game which IS ACTUALLY FINISHED.

Holy shit, my sides.

I can add to this given that I'm watching a playthrough on and off.

1) The dialogue feels like something out of an "Oblivion NPC Dialogue" meme video from YouTube.

2) To this game's credit, the music is genuinely haunting.

3) Fang looks like what happened when Loona from Helluva Boss and Bea from Night In The Woods had a go at each other and forgot to use a condom and gave her no father figure in her life. Character designs in general are off putting and uncanny.

4) So far the characters only have three expressions; neutral, smile, and frown. That's it.

5) I've only stepped away from the video for at least 20 minutes and I already forgot who everyone was and what their names are. Their names and character designs, despite being technicolor as fuck, are so generic.

6) Is it a meteor that's going to strike or an asteroid? There's a strong difference between the two and the magnitude of the damage each can do is significantly more different than each other. The dinosaurs didn't face total annihilation until 30,000 years after the asteroid strike. They also perished because of environmental degradation. It's also unclear if these people knew about this meteor, asteroid, or whatever, beforehand. This game's exposition is a mess and inconsistent.

7) This is a personal thing and I wouldn't dock it points, but I hate impending apocalypse narratives. I just get nihilistic when I hear there's an impending apocalypse and there's nothing the characters can do to stop. None of it will matter in the end because they'll all be dead. Why the hell should I watch this if I know how the narrative's going to end?

 

[PetiteFeet]

are their respective VAs actually these ethnicities?

I know Fang's VA is as white as you could possibly be, but she's non-binary and thus qualifies to play Fang I guess?? But yeah, it's surprising how the lead is not of Arabic descend considering how many shitstorms we've seen where the voice actor isn't the "correct race". I'm almost tempted to make a twitter account and ask ko_op why they couldn't hire an NB muslim, but we all know the reason why they couldn't.

Inshallah.

Character designs in general are off putting and uncanny.

I think the character designs themselves are alright (though some are definitely a bit "checkbox diversity," like Stella being built like a fridge in GVH), but GVH's problem is that their much-vaunted animation only works some of the time, and the rest of the time the characters look stiff and unnatural as they move around, or are drawn with inconsistent faces, which only gets exacerbated by the bland VA work and dialogue.

Part of me wishes we got to see a GVH/Snoot Game with the old designs, because if they matched the entire game's aesthetic to how grungy the characters looked, it'd probably have been more eye-catching and interesting than the fairly bland world GVH ended up with. The first pass's style looks like it would fit right in to something like a traditional comic or a webcomic, which would probably have been a better choice of medium than an animated visual novel.

Even the second pass looks so much better than what we got, I wonder if somewhere along the way early on they jumped toi the idea of having GVH be all 3D animated because they clearly lacked the talent and time to pull it off.

The Government money was justified on the grounds of "innovation", that they were "blending cutting edge cinematics with seamless transitions into gameplay". Presumably they had to back this up with some specifics, but if they did I can't find it online. So maybe they had something clever up their sleeve at some point.

Trannies being funded by Canadian government bucks is how you explain it. I remember these dumbasses also funded that antifa mod for Fallout Tactics, "The Sum". What a joke of a country.
It will never not be funny to me how a shitpost game completely overshadowed the main game so much, I wish it happened more often.

If you wanna see what Rosa's voice actor looks like seeing as he doesn't have a pfp

From "Lady Los Angeles", described as a story about a young trans femme latinx sex worker, oh boy.

Also... considering how Fang is Arabic, Trish is black, and Rosa is Mexican, are their respective VAs actually these ethnicities?

You'll be surprised by how much KO_OP cares about VA's matching the character they're playing, with gender, ethnicity is a 50/50. For example, Sage was going to be originally a bio male which just happened to be feminine, but this was changed at some point in development. We know this cuz the old page about the old VA's was archived.

Now this guy doesn't look like a zippertits, Sage was just changed to an aiden because, trannies are more important than feminine male characters I guess.


Funny enough, Sage would probably be more interesting LGBT representation if he just stayed a feminine dude. Making him a girl pretending to be a guy who is pretty feminine is very convoluted and would probably trigger aidens.

 

[PetiteFeet]

Sage was just changed to an aiden because

we were fucking ROBBED! Sage being a gay femboy would have been a million times more groundbreaking than a feminine pooner. femboy pooners are just girls with unnecessary extra steps.

Furthermore, I now demand that the original artist change the GVH shooter pic with a bomb vest complete with shahada patch. Dunno how you'll handle the German edit.
