VIDEO ADDENDUMS:
Originally this video also touched on 'noneuclidean gemotery' games, which is games built around 'impossible spaces' such as turning a corner and finding a new room overlapping where a previous room/wall should be. I think this is also an interesting unconventional mechanic, one that translates well into VR, but right now there are very few fleshed out examples of it. Shattered Lights, Spellboud Spire, and Hyperbolica are really promising demos of the idea but at the moment but they are very short, so it was hard to fit it into a script which is already all about a certain mechanic (sound/physics). I will probably make a part 2 to this video in the future, part of which will include these games. Right now, i'm a little tired of wearing a headset all day! So the next video's gonna be non-vr.

'FUNKe Study' is a series of reviews, sometimes quickfire and sometimes longform typically centered around unorthodox/novel media that I find worth highlighting. They started off on my second channel but now they're here on FUNKe, and while i'm still carving out the formula for these videos I expect them to continue to use mixed media/animation in conjunction with my normal gameplay/commentary style. - Ігри
The plush campaign's officially over! For the sake of pacing i'll be leaving the video promo-reads uncut, and because I still think they're funny.
If you didn't manage to get one, there will be a handful of times I give out free plushes that I ordered extra myself.
When those happen you'll hear about it in my community tab, in my discord, on my stream or possibly in a video- basically i'll make it obvious when i'm giving some out.
..And for those who got one, I extend a genuine grateful thanks. I've only been able to run this type of merch recently due to my channel's growth, and the general reception to these more animated videos. I expected to sell a few hundred, and just scrape the minimum requirement, but it ended on probably 4x that number. It means a lot, and since you've seen my upload schedule you may understand that it goes a long way for me getting that support line. See you in the next upload!

F*ck me, I missed it by less than a day.
F*ck.
funke do you know about boneworks?
ok
You should check out the game Brutal Grounds
congrats to the 15 people who saw this yesterday when I accidentially put it in a playlist
I swear to God Funke I have rewatched all of your other videos multiple times, I cannot express how hype a new upload from you is (edit why did someone below copy me?
Nice

Wow this is really good I said on your last video how much I love your "art style" but it is really good
sorry dident mean to click on the video
incredible
Wow.
You should feel ashamed of yourself my man
Same
Then GET OUT
the detail of the POV taking off the VR headset to leave at 6:25 is pure art. this video was eye candy from start to finish, loved it!
I didn’t even realized that!! Thanks for pointing that out
I saw that an got triggered.
The amount of times I just adjust my headset and it does that.
Funke you are probably one of if not the most underappreciated creator on this platform. your style, jokes, delivery is just so perfectly aligned with what i enjoy watching it invokes a feeling that you and dunkey seem to be the only people able to invoke consistently in me. Anyway i like your videos they're very fun

Sink enough time into anything and it’ll happen. Don’t cut yourself off. If you’re there, 10 at night, thinking “I need this done so I can sleep so I can go to work/school.” Then just save it and come back tomorrow. Keep doing this and spit-shining it until you think it’s good.
actually, just imagining how much effort he puts into this videos is amazing. from the 3d animating, to simply just reviewing games takes a lot of skill, and this man does all of that, puts it into a video, and also makes it funny. amazing
Not only that, but the detail in all of it is incredible. Complex animations, top-tier transitions, and I can't even imagine how long these scripts take to write. It really seems like he puts as much effort as possible into every single video
The way he advertised the plush was actually original and funny

I’ve found a little genre that I “player interaction campaigns”. These games can feel like a good open world campaign but it’s actually a multiplayer game where instead of ai, you have 10-100 real people. The interesting part is that it’s not forced on you like Gmod CW RP how forces you into a specific story that you usually can’t change. Heck, most of the time you don’t even need to RP. You create the story pretty naturally and that’s one main reason it’s really fun.
So far I know of 2 games in this genre. SCP Secret Laboratory and Space Station 13. Yes I know that 2 games are barely any for a genre but I bet there are more out there that most just don’t know about. It just feels real if you understand what I mean.
Here are the parts that I think make up this genre.
1. The world has to be kickstarted by something not controllable by players, but after that it’ll be driven completely by player interactions. It may be kickstarted again later if things are cooler but the round hasn’t ended.
2. Everyone that doesn’t have a “bad guy” job has a job that when done well, helps everyone else. Everyone is one cog in a machine and when one part fails, the rest start failing too. Even combat roles are support as they are not exactly required to survive and are supposed to just protect others from harm.
3. Rounds last a long amount of time. Around 20-300 minutes. This means that people have enough time to really get invested with the round and create a story.
Huh that's pretty cool. I'm mainly just commenting so I can come back to this later lol
Barotrauma can be somewhat like what you describe. Every player has a role in the submarine. The only objective is to get froms station A to B while fulfilling some quest in the meantime (so you can earn some money to pay for fuel, and maybe get some upgrades); on the way there, players are met with obstacles like hostile flora and deep sea creatures to make sure it's not too smooth of a ride.
@@Cyberian_Khatru oh yeah I forgot about that one. It definitely fits in the pile.
Fits the name "role-playing game" a little more than most actual RPGs.
I think I know of a game that fits this, it's called ECO.
1. The multiplayer game opens with the same event outside the players control.
2. Everyone involved has to pick a role that benefits each other the most and if there's enough people, more than one person can pick the same role.
3. Each game lasts one real life month, it might seem a lot of time, but... it's just enough, if you do well.
the fact that *jerma'ing someone through a window* is something we all understand will never not be funny
WARNING I am the unprettiest human YTer worldwide. Take the hint, dear kim
I don't get it, find to fill me in?
@@__8120 Look up something like "Jerma dollhouse stream window"
@@El-Burrito I thought it was a reference to the classic Jerma985 video "Damnation - Breakfast Time with Doofus and Goofus!"
Its at 5:09 if anyone's wondering
6:25 I love the little effect of the pov taking off a vr headset and the entire screen going grey and then it just being completely still.
wow, didn't even catch that!
i love these videos, the attention to detail is insane, at 6:08 when "you" throw a bottle at the wall funke looks up from reading the script and then tosses it aside after dissapearing off of stage left.
1:08 I can’t stop laughing at that “nooooooooo”
2:03 sadly many devs NEED to shove that OPTIONAL warning for games that support flatscreen and VR mode into your face, because showing VR support in your game on Steam has shown to actually REDUCE sales, because most think that VR is required... One indie dev had to go so far as to remove VR support completely, because the game sales were going down so much and it was starting to have the "image" of a VR only title in social media.
Which game was that?
Well, that’s depressing. If only people had brains
What game?
Judging by how I assumed VRchat was exclusively VR for like three years, they might be onto something
@@258thHiGuy It even has VR on its name so I don't blame you for thinking that
6:26 That attention to detail where the headset loses tracking and goes blank. Holy crap man your SFM's are incredible.
5:09 is hilarious solely due to the fact that I immediately got the reference. Gotta love collective consciousness
Really like how you’ve reinvented yourself in recent-ish times, good job, hope you prosper as the effort really shows!
Dude your videos are next level now, if there was ever a prime example of a person with a talent it’d be you

Jeff the Bat is very wise, for being a diesel motor-powered creature.
Lol i loved the horror game bit.

It is illegal that UA-cam didn't recommend me your videos until now. Instant-sub. Fantastic storytelling, animation, and editing. Also that was the coolest merch drop method I've seen, period.
Boneworks man, ya gotta play Boneworks. Top tier video, as always!
Unpopulair opinion: Boneworks is a tech demo that is not at all fun to play.
@@xypod not only is it unpopular, its also very wrong and trashes everything the developers did to work on a 6+ hour vr game with great physics.

100% agree that BoneWorks was a tech demo. But I disagree that it was unfun.

@@moonman8921 ok I agree with you on everything except for the physics part. They obviously did their best but it works only half of the time. But when it works it’s amazing.
@@moonman8921 I never said that. I find the physics interesting and a great feat, but from a game perspective, it's not that fun having your body get stuck on everything.
New Funke dropped, everyone stay calm
No
Yes
Huh, it's you. It's been a long time.
ayo you watch him too? some quality content amirite?
The man's dropped a bat on whittys head if you didn't notice it.
Man your content just randomly skyrockets in quality every now and then and it's really fun to see
The minor fuck up on the last note for the piano song followed by the flaming rage spam was the perfect cherry to top for this golden video
Damn this video excels in every facet it includes. Just non-stop, pure entertainment. It almost feels like a shame to put it in my "Worst Videos of 2022" list, where it truly belongs.

hey Funke might be a weird recommendation but for a VR movement mechanic that I have fallen in love with is the arms you get from the "Mystic Hands" mod for blade and sorcery, it lets you have two controllable doc ock arms that you can functionally use like he would, climbing up buildings and general movement feels incredibly intuitive and fun
if you get a city mod you feel right out of the movies
Echo VR, Lone Echo, and Lone Echo 2 have easily my favorite locomotion mechanics in any VR games. Pushing off in 0g with your own hands feels incredibly immersive
True, although at higher levels Evho VR becomes less about movement and more about passing. A good juker is useless against high ranked players.
Can I just say how much I love this animation style? I just discovered your youtube channel and the animation has already captivated me to subscribe. Keep up with the good quality content bro
I love the low framerate animation because it looks very good and stylized and also I know that it's easier to do
it's not easier, he animated traditionally and the keyframes are identical to a 24fps animation but he also converted them into hold keys (either that or he remapped the NLA track to being 4fps adn that's even more work), yes there may have been some errors in those transition frames that he didnt need to fix but all his poses here are perfectly clean and with much more consideration.
^ what he said lol. Everything you see is top-notch quality
5:55 begins the single best 30 seconds of animation and writing I have seen in my 7 years or so of browsing youtube, you are rivaling actual studios with this quality and consistency of uploads you are ascending to the next level
From what I can tell, the trick to this is that while the actual character animates at... maybe 6 FPS(?), the clothing animates at SFM's default 24, creating a cut between a cartoonishly choppy yet strong string of keyframes and a buttery-smooth response.
you should try airoah then :)
6:25 the little detail of lifting the vr headset and it not tracking anymore and showing grey is the most ptsd inducing feeling i have ever gotten from a youtube video
10:57 Honestly i'm just as impressed about this piano playing as the design of the Jeff level from what you described
Hi! Spellbound spire dev here! Thanks you so much for showing it :) if anyone is interested it's completely free on steam.
I like how Funke content has evolved for the better.
ikr? Never thought i'd see his channel grow like this. It's amazing how his content and audience have grown. He's gotten so much better, and I'm happy for him. He deserves the attention.

When Funke’s in the hood
3:53 the animation style and references make this channel 100x better than other animators
The combination of the character animation, quick snappy pace, and you just plain being very funny really puts these videos in a league above any other gaming videos I've ever seen on youtube and since my friend showed me one I've been anxiously anticipating the next, loved this! Thanks so much and keep up the good work.
I still can’t believe a TF2 UA-camr not only became a skilled animator but also a good game reviewer, balancing both skills keep us entertained during for the whole video
and a piano player like look at the end bit
"Yeet the wheat", except it's a vodka distillery-it's all distilled from potatoes.

@@FUNKe ya
@@FUNKe SPLATTATER
I have rewatched this I don't know how many times, and I just noticed at 6:34 he pulls the collar of his shirt off to pick up the glass, then casually puts it back on through his neck.
The animated parts look super smooth and stylized. Nice job FUNKe!
The figure was animated so well that I find myself keep coming back for more, soild work here! And to be honest, not just any animation is pleasing to the eyes, your particular style of skipping frames (I know is due to limited budget and timeframe) just works.
FUNKe is seriously one of the best content creators on this platform right now, hands down
Facts
Tru
Absolutely astounded you pulled out Feed Me Jack of all bands as a rating system - top tier musical taste along with top tier videos
Hell yeah. Was scrolling just to see if I could find any other feedme jack fans
The FUNKe experience is super meta, its like watching a retired veteran that remembers the old days of quality UA-cam content but has seen the decline of the site into the number farm it is now, and is aloof almost pissed about it all but still hangs on to quality of the craft. A last remaining bunker of quality good content in a wasteland of reaction and corporate intertest. WELL DONE.
I fucking love the little editing tricks you did at 6:26 and 9:29 that match the weird little hiccups that vr sometimes does. btw, to fix the thing that you're referencing in the second time stamp, you can disable motion smoothing in your SteamVR video settings
I love the natural talent you have for making these funny masterpieces and well explained videos FUNKe, thats why I subscribed years ago
Natural talent? This guy EARNED his talent with years of practice and study.
These videos are so damn underrated. I can’t believe content this good is just floating under the radar. The editing, animation, and commentary are beyond great. Your content raises the bar for the genre, and is a perfect example of how to please the algorithm through retention without compromising creative satisfaction.
Im subscribed to like a handful of people, dunkey, internet comment etiquette, vic Berger, etc but had to sub to you. dont get how you dont have a few mil subs, the humor doesn't feel forced, actually great writing and clear passion for production/editing. also great taste in music man just keep going, lmk when some one picks you up as a staff writer lol im sure its coming
I feel like a proud dad seeing how freaking good you've become making videos. Every second of these videos seems like hours of editing went into them and we really appreciate that
Why would you feel like a proud dad... Its not like you mentored him. Youre just some commenter with an anime pfp no.200
Dozens of not hundreds of hours of editing

9:18 WHAT A TRANSITION HOLY SHIT
I'd love it if he did 30 minute videos every 4 months I'd love edited and animated like this
Thank the youtube gods for recommending this youtube video. How has this much effort gone under the radar? Seriously, the animations, the humor everything. It was such a fun video to watch.
This guy's humor is on a level above. And I haven't found a non-entertaining video from this guy
Now that ur on vr content, would def recommend making a video on vr games with actually good locomotion, bc so many vr games give you literally 2 options, being stick or teleport. Very few games actually try to build movement into the game itself. 2 I can think of off the top of my head is gorilla tag and echo vr. Both games are also just worth checking out. V fun
Dig the idea- i've kicked a script around before about vr locomotion, but at the time I had an old rift and there weren't as many VR games out. I think it'd be cool to chuff through the topic again
@@FUNKe :o
If we're on the topic of locomotion, there's a few games I might throw into the ring. Gunraiders has the "Black Ops 3 Movement" system with gliding and a jetpack, which is simpler, but the upcoming Zenith MMO is apparently going to have ziplining and all this cool stuff to make yourself nauseous with.
It might just be a husk of what could be, but I'll find that out and report back in a week or two, lol
One of the nicher VR titles I’ve seen that attempts to innovate on movement is “The Under Presents” from the creators of Virtual Virtual Reality. It has standard dual analogue movement but there’s also this form of moving that pulls the environment to you instead of moving you through the environment. It’s like grabbing and pulling a rope, the space distorts towards you in this really unique way and instead of moving from point A to point B, point B is moved to you at point A. I’ve heard a lot of people talk about how this “scrunching” locomotion method is great for dealing with motion sickness. While I personally don’t get motion sick with VR very often, I can totally understand why folks like this form of locomotion. Not only is it justified within the universe of the game itself it’s just such a cool effect to see in VR. Even though I understand it’s hard to fit a mechanic like this into a game it wasn’t made for, I’d love to see other VR games attempt a similar locomotion system in the future. Or at least, take a similar approach to innovating on VR locomotion.
jet set Island is pretty cool. you get a jet set and ropes. gotta Build a lot of speed on the ground to then sling yourself up.
Ive never seen one of your videos before, but I'm blown away by the quality of this with your animations and all that. Seriously cool
This entire channel is a masterpiece
4:48 aw nahhh tha bottom shelf... LMAO

1:56 I too would scream if green bomb man was making noises at me like they were cursing me to mars with a broken toe
We would love to see how you make these incredible animations. I've never seen something like this. Truly impressive stuff.
Holy frick how have I never heard of this channel before? The animation is so high quality and the comedy is magical! Not to mention you talked about amazing vr mechanics for like 12 minutes, one of my favorite topics ever! Time to watch a backlog!
Every second of time and effort you put into your work really pays off , You pump out masterpiece after masterpiece of fine tuned varied Jokes & amazing animation all backed into 10 minute delightful chunks, I feel bad for anyone who is missing out on your astonishing channel. Thank you for adamantly giving up countless hours of your life for our enjoyment!
5:55 this whole piece is probably my favorite animation from the last few months, and made by one dude
I like how everything that’s on FUNKe is detachable
the most underrated channel on this site
my least favorite thing about melee in VR is when an enemy does a lunging attack into you and you have to play casper the ghost trying to move away from them just for them to do it again. blade and sorcery please
To be fair, I think it’s trying to get you to parry it, but I agree that the ai is pretty unforgiving when it comes to freedom of movement.
My entire Blade and Sorcery gameplay is just sidestep and punish these days. Sidestep parry, behead. Sidestep, kick, impale into ground. Sidestep, dismember. Please just make it end....
One of the best UA-camrs on this platform.
your animations are the kind of animations i WANTED to make when i was a kid!
It's crazy how often I find new amazing channels that I have ever seen anything from before.
I've never seen someone animate *being in vr* they way you do, like at 0:12. Incredible.
And the transition out of it is 👌🏻
Then you should watch more videos on youtube because that is nothing revolutionary over the past 5 years lmfao
i love how the camera sometimes twitches and moves really awkwardly, kind of like a VR
really didn't expect to hear anyone else talk about ultra ego lmao 10/10
DUDE! Those animations are awesooome!
Oh my god dude last time I watched your content it was TF2 gameplay and now you're making 3d animated verbal essay videos with amazing production quality. I love it
3:55 the superior bomb beats the shit out of some angry rapper guy
He did it, he killed the friday night funkin.

Genuinely the most interesting commentary videos I've found on youtube, you are consistently amazing FUNKe. Thanks.
With the addition of the animations, your already amazing content vastly elevated the great writing you put out into each video. Awesome stuff as always!
Your videos have this excellent talent where they're infinitely re-watchable
Your animations never cease to amaze me
Finally played and finished Alyx so came back to this video as I always skipped the spoilers section. So glad I did because experiencing Jeff without any knowledge that he was coming up was one of the best moments gaming I have ever had. Absolutely terrifying and unique and will rant about how good it is until I die. Glad to finally watch this full video and enjoy your commentary about the whole thing
Just wanted to say, i found your channel last week and I really like your stuff. been watching your older videos and still thoroughly enjoying it! :D thanks for the fun and great content! (also the parts in the video where I have to pause and read because you write really fun and hilarious, arbitrary things are great!)
that was smooth by the way, the way you plugged your plushie and how you made the viewers want the plushie dismissing their opinion, very smooth
Every Funke upload is like a birthday gift, they're always fun, the quality is incredible, and i always have a great time watching. Thank you for your hard work into making such good content!
Bro your videos are genuinely like a drug, I click on it just to toss it in my history and come back to it later and before I knew it I was half ways into the video just due to your damn near hypnotic editing and visual style... Your script is also really entertaining and informative and just DAMN IT MAN PLEASE DON'T EVER STOP MAKING VIDEOS THESE ARE SOOOOO GOOD! Great work man, keep it up :)
6:31 I can't believe you picked up glass with your neck like it's nothing...
The details in the animation are crazy! Great video.
Always a good day when FUNKe uploads
I was watching this video, thinking "hey, new FunkE upload, this is really good, I love it so far." And then you just pull up with the Ultra Ego album cover from Feed me Jack as a review guide and i was instantly like "holy sh*t, FunkE knows about these guys, what the hell." And that's when i found out that you are clearly the best youtuber of all time.
This is the comment I was looking for
ye he used "Definitely you" in the outro of one of his videos like 5 years ago, that's how I know them too :)
Right? I was so confused for a second because I've yet to hear another person talk about FMJ.
i really like your channel and your style its super unique and is already becoming a favorite
The production quality in the last 4 videos has earned my sub dude. Here's to 1 million, and then 10 million. 🍺
I cannot stress enough how this animation style is just way too amazing!
it's such a treat to watch.
Ah yes, a rift with index controllers, the height of luxury
Seriously loving the new video style and the excellent animations. So good
just found your channel and im in awe of the production!!!! this is insanely good, I have never seen anything like this and am so happy I found u!
Holy hell this looks amazing!
Oh yeah
That's an incredibly well made video. Visuals, editing, narration - everything is spot on.
Your videos have nice jokes and I love the animations you have with your character. I enjoy all your videos you make
your videos always got me excited man, loving your content!
