The Mysterious Mr. Enter / Jonathan Rozanski's "Growing Around" - IndieGoGo Campaign Failed, John going off the deep end, "Turning Red" is ignorant about 9/11 (later retracted)

He's also talked about making a vidya game for it before.

Someone, please make a GA mod for GTA or Fallout.

His poor wrist can't handle that strain.

Disturbing implications right here.

He released this 'devlog' of it a while back. For unknown reasons he decided he should basically try and recreate the sims using some guys homebrew rpgmaker engine from like 2004 that can't even handle objects changing locations. As you can imagine it goes about as well as you would expect. One of the only functioning buildings in the game is the cinema, and you are required to dress up in a costume to enter. Thankfully, Enter provides us with a choice of two costumes you can wear as both genders - a princess costume and a witch costume.

He literally made the concept after seeing some failed pilot and bitched about how he can do it better.

I always found it really confusing that this whole thing came from him saying that he could make a better execution of a shitty cartoon pilot. Why that of all things? It just seems so weird in a way that I'm not sure I can articulate.

How about a non-feminine costume for a change?

That's what gets me. This idea isn't even his, what little personality the characters have is ripped off from cartoons he likes, the plotlines are all overdone, the jokes that aren't awful are just stolen, he has other people design the characters and locations... He's spent years obsessing over a story that, at the end of the day, isn't really his. It's fine to be inspired by other things, everyone does that, but with GA there's no originality, everything's taken from somewhere else and haphazardly meshed together.

This really feels like an autistic combination of YandereDev's work ethic and Chris Chan's worldbuilding.

It’s like something a 5-year old would write, only more so.

5-year olds could probably write better than Enter.

 

[Bread Fetishist]

5-year olds could probably write better than Enter.

Axe Cop was co-created by a 5-year-old, so you’re not entirely wrong.

 

[SheerHeartAttack]

Enter's like an autistic Tengu, he can only create what he has seen before and that's done out of spite for certain tropes than any genuine desire to make an enjoyable story.

THAT'S NOT TRUE ENTER HAS THIS EPIC ANIMATIC TO PROVE YOU HATERS WRONG

Context: In his "commentary", he literally used this animatic as though it were proof that he was getting something done on his show to flex on the haters.

Wait, I thought the kids are the 'adults' in this world? Shouldn't the adult be asking 'are we there yet? '. Why are the kids dressed like kids, wouldn't you want the 'funny' imagery of the adults dressing like kids, and kids in bussines suits? Why is the car shaped like a butterfly? Wwwwwhhhhhyyyyyy? How the fuck can kids run heavy industrial machinery to make those cars? Why is the traffic girl helping kids cross the street, shouldn't it be adults? Unless they're special needs kids, which just raises more questions...

The concept of GA makes no fucking sense and is filled with plot-holes and unfortunate implications. If its the adults that build all the cars, then isn't that technically child slavery since they're seen as the children in the world of GA?

Gave a late rating only because Enter spergs out multiple times how he wants the adults and kids to act like adults and kids which on it's own really sets up a lot of plot holes.

The only way Enter could've avoided this if he didn't take his children's cartoon pitch too seriously or didn't have it effect all of society.

I couldn't remember if this was the case or not, Jesus Christ, that makes no sense conceptually. You either go in hard with the role reversal and embrace the stupidity (Aliens or something make the adults stupid, now kids have to step in), or have the kids take over, lock the adults up (kidz rule, adults drool) and rule the world in some Kids-Next-Door meets Lord of the Files bamboo/2x4 plywood treehouse society. Boss Baby is more consistent and makes more sense that Growing Around.

Mr. Enter's Adult Chronicles

 

[LiquidKid]

I did some number crunching. Took the average page count based on the season 1a scripts someone posted earlier, multiplied by 175 and got a total length of 5145 pages. For reference, the script for Grand Theft Auto V is 3500 pages.

For simplicity I just took 22 minutes and multiplied by 175 to get 64 hours of animation. My searches indicated that on average, a minute of animation costs $6000, which seems consistent with what I've seen, though I'm not in the industry. That comes to $23 million total (seems a bit low to me, maybe $6k per minute doesn't include audio, editing, etc). For a show with no pilot, no experienced showrunners, no storyboards, no plan to secure funding, and no plan on how to move forward. I'd love to hear Enter's genuine thoughts on these figures but we all know he only responds in "I don't know"s.

It’s inaccurate to use a video game script. They’re always longer due to padding, random jargon said while controlling the character, the condescending tutorial stuff etc. video games are simply longer, but the same amount of actual story could be told in like 300 pages ultimately.

you’re also way off in terms of budget. That’s film animation cost. The average tv episode is between $500,000 and $1,000,000 in cost, usually depending on the voice cast. It’s rare to get above $800k per episode, especially now that flash and too boom are prominent

Mr. Enter rambles about quarantine, part 3!

Mr. Enter rambles about quarantine, part 3!

From his Deviantart:

So, I've been uh... spending the past couple of days doing this. I've gathered up a bunch of data - population, population density, and lockdown information - when each state locked down, how strict everything was, etc. This video is doing the incredibly simple task of matching up the dates each state went on lock down, with their rates of Covid infection, keeping in mind the incubation period which has a median of 5 days and about once in a thousand cases can be up to 14 days

Tl;dw - a state's lock down had no consistent pattern on the rate of new covid infections, even when correcting for variables such as lockdown dates and lockdown strictness. States in similar regions with the exact same or nearly same lockdown restrictions would have vastly different trend lines. In the thumbnail you can see "protesting is not an essential" activity North Carolina, which locked down on about March 26th and cases have been trending upwards ever since.

Some states trend upwards, downwards, some even stay relatively flat. It's quite fascinating for all of the wrong reasons.

 

[Tragedy of the Senate]

What is he trying to accomplish with so many of these videos so close together? All it's resulting in is people hating him more.
