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

In the end GVH is a minimally viable product pushed out the door likely to keep Sony off their backs, if it was just that I wouldn't find the game so interesting but with the mid development rewrite and (likely) post-snoot changes there is a game there we never got. There's potential that got squandered and while I don't think GVH was ever going to be good it could've been something a lot more interesting than what was delivered.
It's really sad that the most interesting thing about the game is the relationship it has to Snoot Game. It truly does not stand on its own.

I find it fascinating how the people at ko_pe genuinely thought the harry pottern porn journalist from kotaku would have made for the perfect lead writer.
It truly does not stand on its own.
I like to compare it with NITW, but apparently they wanted to make a crossover with it, even discussing with one of the devs that wasn't backstabbed by his peers and didn't commit suicide as result. Suffice to say, I fully agree with you, and I'd like to add the fact that I hate these people.

What's he doing in Snoot Game?

You're still more than welcome to express how everyone is wrong and right wing, but atleast give examples of good left wing stories, people will probably just call you a faggot but they already do so it wouldn't really be an obstacle, really
I know I'm responding to a few months old post, but there is an example I can think of, unless it's already been brought up. Night in the Woods is one that I played through a couple of times. It has the obvious leftist writing undertones (especially with the cult), but it also felt grounded in reality with the supernatural stuff added in. I almost wonder if it was unintentional or a happy accident, considering how botched leftist writing has become recently. Take the writing in NitW and compare it to what you have in today's games. It's the difference between being subtle (until a specific point) with NitW. Compared to 'I'm cramming my message down your throat.'

Also GBVH sucks. Snoot game superior.
 
Plushie update
1773921730308.png
March 18th 2026 Olivia Plush Update

Thank you for your patience. We have been busy not only with work on our two projects but also proceeding with this plan of action. We have been making arrangements so that we can fulfill the preorders on our own, which includes ordering a batch specifically for preorders.


Why weren’t there updates sooner?​

Firstly, apologies for not providing updates sooner, the situation with the lawsuit against our American plush provider was moving far too quickly for us to provide anything of concrete substance for updates, especially regarding our plans. We have received questions, but not too many, so we thought it was best to hold off on speaking until we had something more concrete.


When am I getting my plush?​

We have finalized a deal with the original Chinese supplier that the American manufacturer was sourcing a great portion of our product from. This deal will replace the plushies that our American manufacturer failed to deliver to us. As of today’s posting date, We were given an estimate of 45 days to produce this plush and 30 days overseas for it to arrive in America. We’re also working to find a warehousing company that can take this order and distribute it to you, the customer, which we will update you on once we have a deal secured. Because of this, we cannot give any actual guarantee on the date, but we’re hoping and aiming for 3 to 5 months out at the latest. In the meantime, all refunds can be requested via our purchase complaint form and will be respected before the date of delivery to you. Also because of this, the Plush will no longer be partially made in America due to the situation. If you had previously bought the order on the basis of it being partially made in America and wish for a refund, we will respect it and offer your money back.


So you’re not suing the Chinese?​

No. This is a misconception that was spread due to misunderstanding the situation: We are suing the American manufacturer who would have dealt with parts of design, quality assurance, abiding by Borders and Customs rules for importing product, stuffing, and delivery to you, our customers.

The Chinese side of production has been very reasonable with us so far. The American manufacturer is who we are suing.


Why did this deal take so long to secure?​

Initially, we wished to use the court system to seize the unfinished order from our American manufacturer so that we could finish it here in the United States and then distribute it. However, this process was far more time consuming than we thought was reasonable for our customers. Because of this, we decided to order another round of the plushies from the original Chinese manufacturers that the American manufacturer worked with for fabric parts.

There will be no price increase on the pre-orders as a result of this. Your order is your order and we will respect it.


Once you get the new order, will you sell more plushies from that order?​

Only after we have confirmed all pre-orders are complete AND we have inventory leftover will we consider selling any leftover plushies from our replacement order. If we’re able to recover our original order from the American manufacturer (and said order is actually finished), we will only put them up for sale after all pre-orders are satisfied.


How did you find and choose the manufacturer who you are now suing?​

We were searching for an American manufacturer to handle physically making and distributing the plush in the hopes that doing so would prevent us from having to deal with companies overseas, as we were new to the manufacturing process.

The company we found had a great Better Business Bureau page and seemingly had a robust history of working with a myriad of other companies on projects like these. Calling him, he was extremely helpful on the front end, working out the logistics of everything from fabric to distribution. We even got a prototype from him, as was used in the advertisement, and while there was plenty of struggle in doing this during the design process, we were largely led to believe this was the fault of the Chinese side of production due to comments from the American Company. To us, it seemed like he was an honest businessman running a small company that could actually deliver on the product, especially since he was successfully able to get us a prototype.

The American company offered us a hybrid system wherein the skins and some stuffing would be done overseas while the product would have quality assurance, stuffing, and distribution to customers done in America. To us, this seemed like the best middle ground between not getting scammed internationally and having a cost-effective product that wouldn’t cost $40 to $50 from our customers by making it fully in America.

Clearly, there is some irony in this situation. So far, the Chinese manufacturers we’re working with have been very considerate and respectful given the situation. All pictures we’ve publicly shown of the plush were from their side of distribution as well.


Does the new game have anything to do with the plush situation?​

No, we’ve been working on this as far back as late into Wani’s development, it has only recently gotten to a point where we’re comfortable with showing it to the public.

If anything, the current plush problem has taken time away from development for both of our projects. If it wasn’t for the behavior of our American manufacturer, we would have had more to show sooner.


Why didn’t you just use Makeship?​

Makeship prohibits us from doing re-releases of our plush after the pre-ordering period without substantial modification to the plush. This means that, if the plush was successful, we would not be able to make the exact same one again for our fans. We believed that this model of business was unfair for our fans who may want a plush but missed the ordering window. Even if there was enough demand for the same plush, we wouldn’t be able to reproduce it exactly due to Makeship’s requirements.

Our solution to this was to work with a manufacturer here in the United States that would permit us to do this. The company we found, as stated, looked very legitimate and had glowing reviews on the Better Business Bureau, a non-profit for providing reviews on companies. From our view, we were working with a trustworthy, local, proven-to-work, American manufacturer we could hold accountable that would provide us a consistent product that we wouldn’t have to substantially change if we were to re-release it.

I've been seeing Cavemanon haters say that they scammed their fans with the plushie or that it's dumb to sue a Chinese company, so I'm glad they're finally addressing the misinformation. Regardless hopefully the plushie will be released soon without more issues.
 
While I get where you're coming from, and I can say that needing to fluently switch from cute and funny to grim and serious is a challenge to writers' abilities, it absolutely can be done, and in fact, if done well, a contrast shower of emotions can have an even bigger impact.

Case in point. A never-ending story is an adventure in a fantasy land with one of the main characters being a fluffy dog-dragon that looks like this...
9d6f78315b911dcceb18e41b3e97122b.jpg

...has one of the most tragic scenes in the history of cinema that left a mark on many that have seen it, both as the literal horror of a horse slowly being drowned in a bog while Artreyu can't save it despite his best effort and as a quite obvious metaphor. For many people do drown in a swamp of sadness until it fills their lungs unless they have something to stay afloat for. And it's not guaranteed that friends and family will pull them out and save
More as a funfact but Michael Ende (the author of the book) really disliked that the dragon looks like a goofy fluffy dog.

Also I think it's a bit funny how most people recall the horse scene but have no idea that the movie adapts only the first half of his book because in the second half the nice innocent kid that gets sucked into the book restores the land and slowly becomes an increasingly worse dictator like ruler until his own best friends go to war against him.

Reading that shit as a kid surely was something.
 
Only 2000 views on an 8-minute voiced animation in six months? Good heavens, any fan art featuring Fang or Wani would get more views in a week.
After consulting the Grok out of boredom, I came to a list of events that's most likely gonna be more impartial than whatever shit nanaki will make up, be sure to tell me if I made any mistake.

- The game company Ko_pe (a.k.a Ko_op) is group of indipendent game devs coming from the land whose flag is a fucking leaf, with multiple firends and contacts that works at big corpos or at a minimum knows how they works (game journos), which got them multiple contracts in the past to work at spin-offs and lesser games for said corpos.
- The government whose flag is a fucking leaf eventually gives ko_pe 1.2 million leaf dollars as funding for a project, its unknown if contractual obligation included the inclusion of alphabet people and triggers.
- The people at ko_pe decide to make a game similar to NITW but gayer and fully animated.
- They assemble a team with kate gay as lead writer, and eventually produce a trailer devoid of gameplay which they bring to sony thanks to contacts or past jobs at the company.
- Sony executives have a fetish for La merde cinématique, so they immediately offers an exclusivity contract to ko_pe.
- The trailer is shown at the ps5 "future of gaming" presentation and is universally mocked by the internet.
- 4chan identifies kate gay as the pedo game journalist, so they start rightfully insulting and trolling ko_pe, their shitty game and the people that defends it.
- As immediate damage control, ko_pe fires kate and replaces her with sweet baby inc, they also contact one of the devs of NITW devs that didn't killed himself, in order to propose a crossover.
- Since ko_pe is made out of pussies, they enter development hell and cry "muh bigots" at the internet, almost cancel the game but contractual obligation forces them not to.
- Renowed faggot wolf nanaki is doxxed for reasons that are still obscure to me (most likely he himself being a faggot).
- Snoot Game releases, it becomes a meme, making it worse for ko_pe.
- Years later, ko_pe finally prepares to release their game.
- People starts to notice sweet baby inc. being involved in shit like suicide squad: kill the justice league and gvh, diverging some of the interest from it.
- The game releases, its overpriced so most people don't buy it, and those who wants to hate play it rather opt to pirate it.
- Its dogshit, but the only people that actually bought it are retard troons that couldn't read the room, so it gets positive reviews.
- Heelvsbabyface makes his iconic "FUCKING PRONOUNS" speech, marking the day shitting at woke games became mainstream, too late to influence gvh.
- The game immediately loses traction so it becomes obscure.
- Whatever plans for sequels/spin-offs ko_pe had is long scrapped, so they work at their next shit title.
- Wani releases.
- Fang plush releases.
- Olivia plush preorders arrive.
- The next title from ko_pe is a piece of cozyslop, titled young suns, it heavily features alphabet people and inclusion, alongside a disgustingly ugly artstyle and a "muh corpos bad" subplot, so they instead get microslop as publisher, the corpo behind "muh corpos bad" games that is turning minecraft into cozyslop.
- Volcaldera Ashfall demo release.
- Present.
- Renowed faggot wolf nanaki gets srs.
- Olivia plushes are finally delivered.
- The next game by ko_pe releases and flops.
- Renowed faggot wolf nanaki falls into a coma after an attempted suicide, under suggestion of the government whose flag is a fucking leaf.
- A pajeet breaks into ko_pe and shits on the table, the next day he becomes the next CEO of the company due to the demands of the government whose flag is a fucking leaf.
- Volcaldera ashfalls releases.
- Cerebral death is ultimately diagnosed to renowed faggot wolf nanaki and he's finally suppressed, something that should have been delivered much before but was delayed due to bureocratic mistake.
- Canada changes their flag to a flag that is nearly identical to india, the fucking leaf is gone.
- A meteor strikes North America, Canada is completely destroyed and everything else has been left untouched.
- The nukes are finally dropped in india, israel, mecca and new mecca (formerly London) world peace is finally achieved.
- The human survivors of the meteor are mutated by radiation and grow developing faceless features.
- The animals that survived the meteor (mostly reptiles) are mutated by radiation and rapidly evolve into anthropomorpic dinosaurs.
- Vocano High is founded, in memory of the 69th president of the United States of America Cavemanon.
- A young man called Anon joins Volcano High.

Thats the most surprising part for me, I thought they were all in on Exit 665.
 
Maybe just didnt get the response as they hoped for.
That would be very sad if that was the reason. Admittedly Exit 665 didn't intrigue me quite as much as Ashfall did, but Ashfall's demo totally came out of the gate swinging. Even compared to the already good Exit 665 teaser. They've also been saying that Ashfall has been in the works since before Wani released. Given Wani's troubled development as a mismanaged fangame turned official product, Ashfall may be a much older idea than you'd think. Plus, it's a safe bet to assume that Exit 665 has a much larger scope than Ashfall. My assumption is that they figure they could use another release for money sooner rather than later--especially with the plush situation. And that they're probably also fatigued from working on Exit 665, making Ashfall a good change of pace.
 
I am more interested in exit 665 than new one. But it's far more complex than making a VN, considering that they intend to implement a battle system.
Btw, have anyone else noticed that that Ashley looks very similar to gender swapped Reed. Not to diss cavemanon, mind you

You joke but considering the angle of the game being about addiction and vices that may have quite literally been the inspiration.
 
There have been more than a few jokes about Ash looking like Reeda aka the fandom's goon genderswap version of Reed.

It's probably just because every velociraptor we've seen so far is pink
 
Meh you could do way worse. Hazbin Hotel.
Still believe Bojack Horseman is worse, More people sucking it off despite the MC being miserable and never changes in all seasons, while Hazbin's case it has potential, but it's wasted by a fujoshi, then again both are terrible and just biased.

I did watched some episodes of Bojack Horseman, it was ok. but I quickly lost interest, I don't think its atrocious, but just pretentious and boring.
while Hazbin's case it has potential, but it's wasted by a fujoshi,
I said a lot about vizieslop, but the worst thing it does is being obnoxious and a musical.
then again both are terrible and just biased.
Bojack takes longer to break you, but its also has an ugly and unsalvageable artstyle, helluva/hazbin has much worse writing but the animation is decent and there's at least one or 2 character designs that are pretty.

Then there's gvh, which is a sum of the worst parts of both bojack and hazbin.
 
My assumption is that they figure they could use another release for money sooner rather than later--especially with the plush situation.
I think you're right but the development of Ashfall probably predates all the issues with the plushs, Exit 665 is an actual game so there has to be a lot more work put into it and looking at their dev updates (I'm not subscribed so I'm just guessing) they're about at the point where they have a vertical slice alpha so its still pretty early days for it.

Bojack was supposed to end after 3 Seasons, because they guy has gotten legit happy and his career actually was brought back. But, because the show was still popular, they shat out several more seasons where he essentially circles back to being a miserable bastard.
