Where’s the damn comma Tumblr? I realise you feel legally compelled to treat everyone as if they are children, but I can assure you that even children can recognise a comma…

Here's a little test animation I'm doing for Mal's backstory, basically a little remake of an older comic I did! Showing the difference in quality before and now!

I wonder if the Lamp Post Goose is teasing in the movie poster is relevant to the game The Beginner's Guide, Davey Wreden's lesser known second game after the stanely parable (which goose had said was a big influence.

For those not in the know, TBG is a surreal meta game about "Davey" compiling the games produced by a dev named Coda who he was supposedly friends with.

He spends the game running you through Coda's works and offering his interpretations on them as well as describing his and Coda's relationship, and telling us how Coda was like this tortured artist who eventually stopped making games due to creative frustration.

As you play Coda's games there's this lampost, and Davey opines on its meaning, up until the point where he reveals that the Lamposts were never actually part of the games, HE put them there because he felt they added more meaning to Coda's games and basically imposed his own views of the themes that he took away from the games, which deeply upset Coda.

"Davey" has a big falling out with Coda after he took Codas games and showed them to other people (something Coda strictly didnt want, but that "Davey" felt might help him be more confident about his work) but only lead him to seemingly stop making games

Until Coda sends him his final game, an intentionally frustrating and impossible game, that only after brute forcing around it anyways does Davey find a message addressed directly to him about how he poisoned game Development for Coda and he never wants to speak to him again

Good insights!

On top of that after I wrote this I went back to listen to some of my favourite TBG think pieces plus some new ones that had been made since I last thought about it and got reminded of “Davey”’s final, desperate plea to Coda.

In this selfish ramble “Davey” admits that he hated himself, and that his only comfort was in the almost parasitic, pagent mom living through their child satisfaction that he got sharing Coda’s games, because as he says people started treating HIM like he was important for curating it to them, and that he finally liked himself, which is what lead him to start leaving his fingerprints all over them to make them more “playable” and more meaningful to HIS definition, instead of respecting the state that Coda wanted these games to be in and what they might’ve meant to him.

He talks about how he’s releasing the collection of games under his name to ‘reach’ Coda so he’ll continue making games again and both absolve “Davey” of his guilt and give him something to make him feel good about himself again, he starts getting more frantic and it’s clear he doesn’t actually care about Coda, he just NEEDS to have some quick fix to his shitty behaviour so that he can continue getting what he craves out of Coda and his work.

Specifically “Davey” has a line where he’s spiralling and is like “Please, please start making games again! Please help me, please give me some of whatever it is that makes you complete! I want whatever that wholeness that you summoned out of NOTHING and put into your work, you were complete in some way I never was, I want… I want to know how to be a good person, I want to know how not to hate myself! Please! I’m fading, and all I want to know is that it’s going to be okay,”
