When you realise mrdrnose is with high dedication continuing to develop a massive game with tons of horrific secrets and only expects in return the odd, small donation here and there, and yet...
Despite the full game being barely started, there's already official merchandise for Baldi's Basics since it's so popular, mystman12 decided to make a full game of it and got more than $60,000 in return during a Kickstarter and is, I imagine, barely going the pace mrdrnose is going (although it's kind of somewhat halted now) to make his game as best as he can even though he quit his job (and to make things more unfair, MIX UP GAMERS has more than 24 entire hours of streaming just this game, when I bet someone gonna speedrun the full game of Baldi's Basics is gonna have a video quite less than an hour long!) while this game has been pretty much completely missed since most people didn't have the sense to check the numerous updates mrdrnose has been providing and/or came too early to see what mrdrnose would do to it, on top of the fact that this game can't possibly have as large a community as Baldi's Basics because of the way the game contents loudnoisesfastbrighteninglightsviolenceswearingoffensivelanguageweirdspeechweirdenglishcrookedphotoshophighpolysupermegahdgraphicsandspookymoments Not to mention repeated instances of visible gore, horrifying weird paintings, MINOR NUDITY AND, AND,
THIS
STUPID
BOOK!
AS A SERIOUS ITEM IN THE GAME, REPULSING SMALL CHILDREN who've never got to it because it's quite difficult to reach History AND KIND OF, like, I don't know, mocking (for a lack of a better term because I was too lazy to search Google) the Baldi's Basics community! Which it hasn't done yet because barely anyone goes to the History level because it's so hard to get there and you already have nightmares trying to listen in a level where you either get ear-raped or dropped to the ground because someone stupid killed you (and even most people don't get that far, because the only people who've played the newer versions have like way less than 100,000 subscribers, because the big people who've played the game played it when it was old and sucked so everyone missed out on what the game will be like) - which is what even makes the game great (except for all the sexsexagintasescentacontent), because it's both deep and over-the-top (BTW I tried to look up why Baldi's Basics got so popular and seriously, being born just 2 years before Sonic '06, I have NO idea what's so captivating about 90's edutainment games.), and yet mrdrnose can barely get anything in return because now most people have just seen it as a rip-off of Baldi when only like 100 people stuck around to see how original it was compared with Baldi (as a fan-game - Baldi's Basics is practically 99% original and authentic) so now there's only like 100 people sticking around, which is enhanced by the fact that mrdrnose can't balance game development and social media - and he can't even sell parts of the game or anything because it's taken too much copyrighted music and even got MIX UP GAMERS a copyright warning because it just had to take every variation of Overture to the Sun it could get it's limbs on because that's by now just the thing that makes Advanced Education feel like Advanced Education.
When you realise all that...
I'm just thinking...
P.S.1. I really.
REALLY.
Want Micah McGonigal to play this game for himself (to the point of seeing the Bunker and glimpsing the History level, but also quickly so he has time to make his game) quite a while before the full version of Baldi's Basics is released (also with a mature audience warning or something if he's gonna share it). That way he can see what this game is "compared" (and I don't like that term since it makes one game look better than the other) with Baldi's Basics when he's making it and more people will know about this game.
P.S.2. Oh yeah, PhuCatGeek still didn't get around to AEWVS. He forgot again.
