    ACKUALLY “I wanna be the fangame!” was the first fangame. And along with it came the first engine which was the basis for almost every fangame since!
    It came out in 2008 :D

    This is a nice lil' intro to the community! There's a LOT to cover about it if you wish to look into the more comprehensive history (Kiyoshi's Over-Detailed Timeline of Everything is a good place to start). The story of the IWBTG fangames community isn't just the story of one community, but of many different smaller communities across the world and the ways they are linked together. My intro was through watching the Twitch streamer TenShotsTV, who speedran various IWBTG fangames, and it was thanks to the hilarious creative works of Stonk that I took an interest in the community at large as well as creating fangames of my own. The community has been through many eras, with the types of fangames and the concepts they cover constantly evolving over time. In a sense, it's not just an IWBTG fangame community anymore, but a legitimate novice game developer community, where creators are allowed to make *anything* they put their minds to, using the original assets as a jumping-off point. (Say...ever heard of I Wanna Lockpick? Hehe I digress.) It's a community that tries its damnedest to honor the makers, players, and community as a whole, to the extent that there are even annual fangaming events such as Fangame Marathon and FASF for speedrunning, as well as The Fangame Awards for featuring the best fangames and community member contributions of each year. The contents of this video are just the tip of the iceberg; there's a LOT more once you truly start to immerse yourself, should you choose to. Either way, thanks for covering this!

    calling celeste a rage game is... a take. not all precision platformers are rage games; imo the "rage game" genre requires the game to lean into memorization of unpredictable death traps, or extreme progressional setbacks from small mistakes.

    • @ignDevi
      @ignDevi  Рік тому +7

      completely fair point! but i feel like it follows the general concept of rage games while still being its own thing, and being the closest thing to a rage game to actually become mainstream and widely beloved, hence why i included it

    I'm glad that this video exists!!
    IWBTG fangames are so variable and really cool to look in general. A lot of them have so different takes from originality and difficulty and that made me love it a lot
    There's also a Mario Maker-like game on Steam that's called I Wanna Maker!!
    Very good job on the video!

    As a community member who started playing fangames in 2018 and found out about the existence of the community by randomly rewatching a video from mastermaxify (one if the best players in the community and content creator) in feb 2022, i can say it is pretty hidden yeah.
    But on a serious note, this community is the best community I've been in. It also really changed me as a community member, from being random toxic guy to a good person. Glad to see someone making a video on this topic and talking about us ;)

    Back in 2012 or so, Chile's (back then) biggest youtuber made his whole career about playing IWBTG fangames, so it's funny to me that there might be a whole generation of people in my country kind of aware of this unknown internet community.

    I personally love hard games, and whenever I play a game I always pick the hardest difficulty. As well as I often come back to games which I enjoyed and try to beat them with some challenge and limitations, and doing challenges in games, or no hitting games, is incredibly fun for me

    Wtf how does this video have so little views? I thought this was a 100-200k views video easily. Seriously man the production quality of this video is really good and the vibe of the video is really cozy and neat. The good part i guess is that the algorithym brought me here so maybe the other 100k might come in soon.
    Hope the best of luck to your channel man, you rock!

  • @X3m.Gaming
    @X3m.Gaming Рік тому +1

    rage games and skill games are diferent. when unfair games can get people interested in a game to stay popular you need to have depth in it. as someone who played i wanna games only very little i instantly noticed the simple deep controls of the character and how its really fun to play. i wanna games are skill games that may or may not have unfair traps to make them rage games.
    also imagine talking about hard games and not mentioning touhou but mentioning geometry dash of all things smh

    • @ignDevi
      @ignDevi  Рік тому +1

      thats completely fair to call a lot of the iwbtg fangames skill based, but i would like to generalize the whole branch as rage games as the original is exactly that - using a lot of clever, funny and usually unfair traps
      plus i mentioned geometry dash because i have 15743 hours in it on steam. and i dont really know much about touhou.
      still thanks for the feedback!
