    No Players Online is back! The cursed FPS horror game is being made into a full length game. It's less ARG focused this time and sees you delving into files on John's old computer! There's also a fun little MapFriend Easter egg in there too. :)

      I think I prefer the original draft to be honest.
      This is cool, but it's like a handful of disjointed ideas launched at a wall. They're all great mechanics... but there's just no thread through them.

    I still think the first version of the game was the scariest since it actually felt like an abandoned FPS map so the horror really caught me off guard. This one felt it tried to be an actually horror game, which kinda ruins what makes this game special in the first place.

    Well done devs for giving the concept another chance!

  • @TheWaterdog6
    @TheWaterdog6 5 місяців тому +22

    I don't know. The game has some creepy aspects to it but I think the sacrificed most of the interesting plot to make it more expansive. The first game you discover a game online you play alone and then someone joins. Then later the developer seems confused and wonders how your even on there, and it slowly turns into begging as it is heavily implied his wifes soul was transfered into this as a way to keep her with him.
    In this one there is a desperately lonely guy who bails on you. You get a virus and get logged into the developers computer and there is just a lurking evil in all the games. I just feel like it isnt the same anymore. It isnt as scary or interesting because now it trying to be Pony Island or Dementium.

    i don't understand when this is supposed to take place. why does a boomer shooter have a 1973 copyright? we're using a computer with windows 93 on it but an internet provider that has a newsgroup that was closed in 1985? people in a webforum with registration dates of 1970??? the first public web browser ever was released in 1993. why does everything have VHS effects over it? CRT monitors didn't have VHS effects. is this another developer who doesn't know when anything happened prior to 2010?

      @Chaosian 5 місяців тому +11

      Really got that impression too. Computers in the 70s were like Kaypros and Apple II's, barely able to handle e-mails let alone any kind of 3D rendering. Even the 'Windows 93' has a GUI is much more like something out of Vista.
      If I didn't know any better, I'd say the developer...
      A) Is foreign and did not grow up with technology.
      B) Was born after the iPhone was released.
      Or C) Just doesn't care.

    • @onceuponatimeonearth
      @onceuponatimeonearth 5 місяців тому +8

      I do agree. Suspension of disbelief is one thing and it doesn't have to be perfectly historically accurate _obviously_. (Windows 10 bluescreen in a parody of windows 3.1, NASA download speeds for 1993, modern resolution on a 1993 monitor, desktop widgets, modern slang and so many more small things are all inaccurate but make sense in the context of a modern parody title) of course there is artistic freedom to create an interesting game that captivates a modern audience and is easy to play but the dates and choices in this are just so wildly baffling inaccurate it destroys any immersion of a believable product from the portrayed time period.
      Even if the game takes places in a parody alternate universe it still obviously tries to mimic and immerse players in a 1993 period piece. But with the inaccuracies currently in the game it's like making a WW2 game that takes place in 1890 with helicopters and m16 rifles.
      I will keep watching the video to see if there is an explanation or in-universe lore about it but so far it's definitely a bit of a turn off.
      edit: there's an explanation for the advanced game graphics, that's about it

    • @AlphaBetaGamer

I had also started 8th grade which turned out to be my second worst year of school. I graduate in 6 weeks and everything from back then feels like came out yesterday it’s surreal, but I’m so glad you’re still around doing playthroughs of indie games :)

    These guys are just tossing random dates or what? There was no internet in 1993, you had BBS but the functionality was limited, and that OS with notifications and animated icons its closer to windows 7 than windows 3.1 which is what this is supposed to be. Let alone that a game with graphics like that would've been insane back in 1993, let alone 1973, that's Pong era games...

      I have a feeling that the inaccuracies with the dates are intentional (this dev rarely does anything by accident). I think the reason will be uncovered during the full game.

    There's something up with the timeline here. Like, the OS copyright is from the 70s as well as the copyright for the "capture the flag" game. If you look at the join dates for the users on the game forum, you see one guy who joined in 1970, and another who joined in 1988. I'm no expert on internet or computer history, but those dates seem a little early for what we're seeing. I don't think these guys should have been able to join a web forum until the early 90s, when this game is supposed to be taking place.
    Also, I just noticed, but the "present" is 02/04/1993. In the "fun in the forums" section, we see a domain that was seized by a fictional EU law enforcement agency. However, the EU wasn't formally established until *November* of 1993.
