“So, we’re trapped in a game where we’re ghost hunters?” Molly asked your muse as they found themselves trapped in the video game, Phasmophobia. “Phh this will be easy. I know how to deal with ghosts thanks to Scratch. So, this will be a piece of cake.”
Another player and I were trying to hide from the ghost.
We both were heading to the basement but the other player shut the basement door behind him so I couldn’t follow.
Fortunately, I was able to open the door and run threw so the ghost couldn’t catch me. I was able to catch up to the other player and we both hid in the same locker.
Once there, I whispered to him
Me: “You little bastard!”
To which he replied.
Him: “Go fuck yourself”
Me: “after you”
Him: “no, after you”
Me: GHOST! WE’RE DOWN HERE! COME KILL US! DX<
The other player and I ended up spending the rest of the hunt shouting at the ghost, trying to get each other killed.
But the ghost never found us XD
I think the ghost noticed what a bunch of idiots we were being and just palmfaced, thinking.
Ghost: oh to hell with these two. I’m out!
————-
The other player and I ended up laughing about this after cause of the shear stupidity of it all.
We were both cool with each other but still drove each other nuts.
Folks talking about Game Devs dropping Unity or how it won't hurt small indie devs with under 200,000. Are missing the point.
Some of these Unity games can't change to another engine because they have years of code piled on top of each other at this point. aka POKEMON GO. They'd basically have to rebuild the game from scratch.
Not to mention Unity is mostly used by phone app games or Indie's that are lucky enough to get picked up by console. Indie games on Mobile easily pass 200,000 downloads. Temple Run 1 and 2 are in Unity, Crossy Road, Angry birds 1 and 2, and Hearthstone. All of these past 200,000 downloads years ago but aren't bringing in money now except hearthstone.
The Developers will do what happened to the first Angry birds app. They'll take it down, build it in a new engine for "HD", and add a shit ton of micro transactions. We are about to lose countless original versions of the OG pre lootbox mobile games.
We are also about to lose some of the biggest Indie games of the last decade. Among Us, Plague Inc., 7 Days to die, the original Slenderman game and it's sequel, I am Bread, Ori and the Blind Forest, Dream Daddy, Overcooked 1 & 2, Pathfinder online, Cup Head, Bendy and the Ink Machine, Oxygen Not Included, Bloons Tower Defense 6, Beat Saber, Subnautica, The Stanley Parable, Untitled Goose Game, Power Washing Simulator, Fall Guys, Inscryption, Phasmophobia
And the big one FUCKING HOLLOW KNIGHT. Silk song has already been pushed back out of this year specifically because it's being made by a team of like 3 people. It is so close to being finished and now they are being told they have to start over from scratch basically. Hollow Knight got over 200,000 downloads from being on playstation and was eventually put on Playstations subscription service. Every cent they made from hollow knight has gone back into making silk song. Which might now be delayed by multiple years and oh they are going to have to use some of that funds to pay unity now. Or find a way to get out of a contract with playstation. Because folks will keep downloading Hollow Knight for free and Unity will send the Hollow Knight team the bill.
oh and there's one more teeny tiny game made in Unity that you guys might not want to suddenly disappear. One with almost 3 years of monthly code updates, one with 139 million downloads to date, and 4.8 million monthly users.
Genshin. Guys Genshin Impact is made completely in Unity and that's not a game that can have it's code just copy and pasted to another engine.
Ok. Listen. I am no good artist for comics and this is just a 5-Minute-drawing because we were gaming 😆
I guess every phasmophobia player can relate what happened:
Friend of mine playing Phasmophobia a ghost hunting game. You have to indentify the kind of ghost and can do some side quest.
For a ghost typ you can find 3 signes. fingerprints, freezing, orb, showing in dots, emf5, ghost radio etc.
we had two of it and i went in the house (alone because this ghost answers just to one person) to use the ghost radio. I went into the room where it was.
Shortly after i entered the room through the door i asked: "Where are you?"
The ghost answered in a lovely female whispering voice: "i'm behind you"
that's it! the last signe what ghost it is.
i immedatly turned around with the words: "ok bye" and left the house.
after that i was wondering: if the ghost was behind me and i turned around and went outsite, i had to went through this ghost.
So this little comic was made.
ps.: imagine the ghost with santa clause outfit because it is christmas time. (yes they do that on holidays)
she (i guess the ghost name was jennifer) looks like that:
I've played a lot of phasmophobia, and figured that it was about time to draw some fanart.
The charater I drew was based on the player charater that I always use, and the house interior was based off what I vaugely remember from Edgefield street house and Tanglewood, but it wound up looking nothing like either of them. I still think it looks pretty good though.
I always knew I wanted to put ghost evidence in the drawing from when I started it, and whilst it didn't turn out as good as I hoped, I tried my hand at illustrating freezing breath. Leaving lighter patches is very difficult for traditional artists, but I tried my best. I also decided to do the ghost writing book as it's pretty easy to draw an open book on a table.
Another part of the drawing that was about as difficult as the freezing breath to draw was the lens flare from the torch and a second lens flare coming from the background (the ghost is there). It was difficult, but it turned out looking really good, so I'm proud of myself for that one.
My boyfriend and I have found ourselves obsessed with it so I had to make a cute lil Ghost Huntin’ Survival guide acrylic charm keychain. Go check it out maybe?
Not sure if you've done this before but Jimmy and Martyn having a picnic with stuffed animals :3 /nf
Day 407- I don’t know enough about fnaf to make a good pic out of it, I hope you don’t mind I combined it with another one. (And misremembered picnic as tea party)
This old table needed some love. It's a handpainted, Phasmophobia inspired, octagonal, D&D table! I'm still doing touchups but I think it's looking SO good!
