- (Also, edit!! I go by Saturn now, haha!!!!!)
This ending tore me to pieces, and so, like any human typically does, I animated some dialogue from it. I always wonder what it's like behind closed doors for the Narrator-where is he!??!! I do know that he waited, and waited, and waited... Ouch. That had to give him at least a dozen resets worth of abandonment issues... goodness.
ANYWAYS, go and play The Stanley Parable: ULTRA DELUXE! Oh my GOODNESS. Totally fell in love with the original game back in 2013. Whether or not you have ever heard of it or totally have-I guarantee you will not be disappointed with it.

"one of the most horrible depictions of torture ive seen"
-Markiplier in response to the skip button
SO TRUE... so true... ;;;
He's not wrong
I actually started sobbing so hard during that ending
Just like in that Black Mirror episode
where they left someone 6 months in a white room that has nothing but a table[the person was a digital copy of the wife that was on the house; so, she had to deal with time, and the fact that she was technically, not real]
i was at the verge of tears while doing that ending the entire time tho
the way the 'shines' leave his eyes at the sound of the button press... he knows that stanley skipped mid-sentence and he knows he's going to be alone again for a long time.
😭😭 Ding, ding, ding... Exactly, so! Poor Narrator...
playing this ending for the first (and ONLY. EVER. NEVER AGAIN.) time already tore my heart out enough, but something about the way you phrased “he knows that stanley skipped mid-sentence and he knows he’s going to be alone again for a lone time,” just seriously hurts, mate (i swear i mean that as a compliment). and the way he cuts off instantly and sits up, as if the skips are physically affecting him- i know the point is he’s supposed to talk to himself now but there’s something seriously heartbreaking about the thought of the skips forcibly silencing him, especially in the middle of a sentence.
@@AlexanderrRobinEvans I think it's less the button forces him to stop, and more he realises there's no reason to keep going. The narrator likes to think Stanley is listening to what he's saying, but also that Stanley enjoys listening (we learn this from a few voicelines I'm fairly sure), so Stanley skipping is proof that Stanley does not enjoy listening, crushing the narrator emotionally. Which is excellently shown in this animation
@@AlexanderrRobinEvans why did you have to elaborate you wouldn't do it again?
@@saturnjart tell me where is the narrator located at
The fact that they stanley parable 2 poster is crossed out and he wrote “I just want Stanley back” … oW. Uncalled for, and it hurts bcuz that’s basically the crux of his “I think it’s been a week” speech, that he doesn’t care about the story anymore, he just needs Stanley to stay so he doesn’t loose himself in the silence😭
THIS!! 😭 Wagghh. That's immediately what I thought about, too. And then we just keep leaving and leaving and leaving him... 😭
@@saturnjart okay so I’ve been thinking about this forever bcuz of all the sad skip ending stuff, no one ever seems to consider it being reversed. Like what if the narrator’s physically in the room and Stanley after the week speech tries to stay but accidentally skips, and when he realizes it’s been at least a year is desperate to find a way out for both of them, so he tries to see if he can take the narrator with him when he skips…. I think you can see where this is going. They attempt to press at the same time but narrator is the only one that skips and comes back who knows how long after to a catatonic stanley, who clearly by the state of the room tried for so long to find another way out and stayed for so long that he lost himself. 😭
This ending might be the saddest, but a close contender is the one where you're looking from outside on an unmoving Stanley with the narrator begging you to say anything, tell any story you want, just do something
Yes. Oh my goodness. 😭 That was totally my favorite (and I personally believe on of the saddest) endings in the original master of The Stanley Parable. It definitely is a stronger contender. 😭
the zending ending tho..
Or the zending… the narrator begging you not to end yourself, to just let him be happy as you repeatedly jump, literally ending your life…
@@unosship the zending made me cry, I forced myself to do it just for the achievement but listening to the Narrator begging, us not to do it, saying he only wants us both to be happy... heartbreaking
what is this ending called?
we showed this to the discord server we're in and people are responding that their in pain now and analyzing the subtle shifts in the Narrator's expressions, so we'd say you did a good job
Omg... I'm so honored. 😭😭 Thank you so much. All the subtle changes and shifts are VERY much intentional, hehe!!!
I think this is the saddest thing in game
@@fenisefell2625 Right!!! 🥲
@@fenisefell2625 learn the lore of 432 as that is almost as bad as this and what the narrator had to go through
The loneliness of Stanley parable is really something but there is narrator, who keep us company. When Stanley use skip button and narrator stop talking it's was scary...... I felt the true lonely, even tho i just watch someone else playing it
It truly captures loneliness in the ending. 😭 That's for sure. Abandonment really hurts!!! And we're the ones doing it to the Narrator, even though the game creates so much empathy for him... we're just forced to watch and it is beautifully painful!
@@saturnjart I wish there should've been an "ending" were you restart manually after a few skips, and the narrator becomes a lot nicer for a while in a new timeline, because he remembers the skipping.
Even though I have a soft spot for the Narrator's implied computer-head canon-ish design, this design for the Narrator is absolutely wonderful. This human look for him fits him perfectly and I love the animation!
Waagghhh, thank you so much! 😭
@@saturnjart You're welcome! I actually have a personal headcanon that outwardly/in the main world the Narrator is a computer-headed humanoid, but in a virtual space he can create any look for himself he wants, and this is one of them.
@@RavenStarMedia Waaagghh, thank you so much! 😭 I've scoped around on the internet to see designs other people have made for him, myself! And I honestly love all the takes of him not exactly being organic entirely! Humanoid maybe! But I love seeing all the creative designs, too. 🥺😭
The FNAF fandom's phone head phone guy has left me with a permanent burning hatred towards those kinds of designs. THANK YOU for not doing that.
Love how this is some of the greatest character development the narrator ever gets.
Right!!! The writing is so thorough and nicely done!
The way he’s positioned with the writing on the whiteboard, so that he covers up the word “don’t”… that’s genius
The numbnail alone was enough to give me happy chills. The Narrator's design is great, and the expression is flawless - it screams "Serious Room" lol. I love the concept of the office he's actually sitting in somewhere in the aether, watching - but then I noticed all the notes are essentially "Stanley plz no leave me" and my heart died, thanks.
Also I was expecting this to be another animatic, or comic dub - REALLY impressed that it's actually fully animated. Not that there's anything wrong with animatics (I love them) but seeing a finished fan animation, especially for TSP, is so rare
Oh my gosh... your comment made ME happy cry and made MY heart die!!!!! (In the good way, of course!) 😭😭Oh my goodness, thank you so much! I love that you've picked up on so many of those small little details and things-and right? I personally think The Stanley Parable is soooo underrated! The SERIOUS ROOM. PFFTT. Good ol' times. The concept of an office so very intrigued me, too!!!!
And on the note of animation-I have some skills in 2D rigs so I was like; "Why the heck not!?" It's just as satisfying for me as it's been for you all to see a full-fledged animation, pfft!! TSPUD has honestly been my favorite game release in some time! So happy you like it!!!! 😭Thanks a ton.
@@saturnjart I'm glad I could make you smile! I personally know nothing about animating except that it's time-consuming and difficult lol (I do a ton of drawing/graphic art, but have never been able to figure out animation) so I can't really contribute to the TSP animation void. But the few animations that exist make me really happy, since it's such a great game
Dragons need HUGS
The reason why the narrator went crazy and made a copy of The Stanley Parable and it's sequel in his mind is this. Of course, when it reaches to the end of the Figleys ending, he gets on terms that the real Stanley won't get out from the skip button room, eventually both mind stanley and stanley comnect as one through the epilogue computer, that's what it means the ending of creating more stanley parables, the mind stanley was created to keep spiraling on sequels as the narrator wanted, and the Real Stanley is trapped on the Memory Zone subterranean office talking to the Narrator's Stanley. It could be said, that when the narrator resignes to the game mentally, it's the real end of the game, the rest is bonus content. There's a reason why the Figleys ending soundtrack call the song: The End Was Never The End. If the game never started because the narrator decided to resign and think on it's own, the game of office and endings would never start, but at the same time it would be the beggining of something else, sacrificing Stanley and the game in the process, by making it never start, because that experience was on the narrator already through a series of repetitions in his mind as the narrator and the creation of mind stanley.
The End Was Never The End means a true restart from the narrator when he gives up the fantasy of reliving and remixing the game, and instead goes to begin something new.
Because The End was just another Beginning in The End.
And then there's Employee 432, the configurations guy, the one who became one with space-time and connects both Stanleys through computer and keeps doing more sequels to the game to spite the narrator echoes from the past.
The f*cking story is good once you understand it, but it's stupidly complex, like, how do you expect the players to know that the new content of a game based on endings is a story? And after the desert on the Skip Button Section you return being in the office and the narrator just sounds normal?
It's more concerning than the broom closet ending obsession!
"You know what? I'll stop thinking, I just do what they want." that's probably what The Narrator thought when reading those Steam reviews and now the feeling is mutual.
He destroyed the game with collectable and a bucket to add some jokes in his game on his mind, and I'm going to end my comment.
Have a good day.
HOW... HOW DO I- I GIVE YOU AN ENTIRE AWARD FOR THIS COMMENT... HOLY HECK. This was a trip to read!!!!!!! I'm still piecing all that coherently together, omg! It is so stupidly COMPLEX! But, that too, is why I love it, much like so many other players do, goodness! This game deserves all the praise for its witty commentary, introspection, storytelling + analysis! It honestly is very heartbreaking that after the skip button ending, you don't hear much from the Narrator about it ever again-which yes, as you said, is MORE concerning than the broom closet obsession, pffT!!! GOSH! Thank you for writing this, I'm gonna be re-reading it!
well no because the creator of stanly parable said the computer guy is employee 432
and when the computer guy enables the achivement the narator is confused when it works
wow...that's really deep
The best way to sock the player in the feels.
The worst part is that once this is started, you can't stop it and it's just heartbreaking :( This animation shows this perfectly, you just feel absolutely awful for him when he realises he's all alone again.
Oh my gosh???!??!?? This is absolutely amazing!!! The movements and expressions are great!
Aaaaa, thank you so very much!?! 😭 I'm so glad it reads!!! 👏 I had so much fun making it!!!!!
:( this is good and it makes me sad. he just wants Stanley back
Righhtt!!! 😭Oh, the abandonment stings... Thank you so much!
Oh no....this animation made the dialogue much more depressing :[
still, well freaking done.
Thank you so much. :')) The ending is so brutal!!!!!!
I felt.... Really bad... About what happened in this ending. It was really hard to skip... I listened every his monologue. Im really sorry, Narrator, even if u not real...
So felt. I did the same thing. 😭It's so hard to watch...
When i first heard this ending the one part that stood out for me was the narrator repeating “the end is never the end” which makes it clear the narrator had completely lost his sanity staying in a room for many years and realizing he was going to stay in the room forever and the worst part is his voice sounds so emotionless like he’s lost all hope of escaping and just accepts it. Honestly that part was absolutely heartbreaking for me just hearing him repeat the same thing over and over.
i keep coming back to watch this, this is so awesome, i love his expression slowly getting sadder as he talks :((...
Omg, I'm honored to hear someone keeps coming back to it!! :')) Honestly, I do the same myself-and I made it, lol! I'm not as into TSP as before, when I made this, but! Every time I watch it I'm brought right back to the moment in that room with one yellow, dreaded button... and it hurts in the best way! 😭
@@saturnjart This ending destroyed me when I first played it... 😭 and I absolutely get going back to things you've made! Always good to feel proud after making something :) what program did you use? Its super smooth!!
@@beepothebest Riiight, same!! 😭 And I use ToonBoom Harmony! It's the industry standard for a lot of western animation! It looks so smooth because it's actually a rig-a moveable puppet of sorts! They are pretty difficult to make, pfft, but I enjoy it and plan to make more rigs!
@@saturnjart Oooh i forgot ToonBoom had rigs! I only used it a tiny bit in a class and I dont think we learned rigs, thats awesome though!! Great work again :)
@@beepothebest Ohhhh, awesome! I am so glad to hear that!!! I had a class, but it was limited and wouldn't happen any other time of the year! There's definitely lots of good tutorials out there if you're ever curious! Glad to hear it!
Hmm. This, the unplugged (sans bucket), and the 'happy place' + stairwell ending are the saddest for me. Favorite by far is the 'secret' disco, especially as the colored screens continue for the bucket and sans bucket endings in the same room.
Yesss, aghhh!!! 😭Honestly, the unplugged ending was a favorite too (before ultra deluxe released) and still is! It is so sad! The 'happy place' + stairwell ending is so saddening too, because, I didn't realize until now, but!!! It shares similarities with the skip button ending in many ways! The Narrator telling us not to do something, begging us not to hurt ourselves or leave him... heartbreaking.
Once you go secret you never go becret!
427/8 I cried. Narrator best boy
Awww. Yes he is. 😭
The fearful silence when the button slid out really did it for me. God that hurt 😔
RIGHT... truly... exactly how I felt in game, too. 😭😭
My heart is breaking apart.
Me too, wagghh!! 😭
…the end is never the end is never the end is never the end is never the end is never the end is never the end…
😭😳That part definitely hit so hard playing...
This is sad can i give the narrator a hug? 🥺
Yes... 😭😭He needs one so badly in the whole ending, wagh!
That end omg 😭
Righhhttttttttttttt 😭😭😭
Honestly such a perfect design for him
Aw, thanks so much! 🥺
gOD- in those very last frames of him slumped down in defeat, i swear you can see some tears welling up in his eyes,
this better boost up in popularity or else i’ll riot
Everyone deserves to see the Narrator!!
I may have news for you...
@@saturnjart YAAAAYYYYY
Very nice work! I especially like the shot composition, the environment is so detailed, but it looks cluttered in a good way. The lighting is also desolate and lonely without looking washed out or dull.
Aw, thank you so muchhhh! 😊
I love how the narrator looks like RTgame, wether it was intentional or not.
Holy crap, I was just thinking of that!
Bro he's my fav narrator. The first time I heard him say those words it really hurt
And the sad part is, we KNOW when the Narrator dies, him repeating "its never the end" till , **silence** you press it again birds are chirping as nature takes over the fallen roof, but still **silent** no Narrator, you press it again and all you can hear is wind coming from the back wall, with dessert sands, you go through a journey to bring him back somehow, bucket in hand and as you press all the buttons that say jim, theres one that stands out, one of him saying your name, *"Stanley"* (and that broke a lot of people including me, imagine how Stanley felt.)
I love the expression when narrators shine/pupils are gone because he now realized that Stanley pressed that darn button. The art style is amazing and well done, I would love to see more of these :D
Thank you so much!!! :'')))
@@saturnjart no problem, I enjoyed it!
I love how everyone agrees he has gray hair and glasses
you should have WAAAY more subs!! this animation is amazing!
Aww thank you so much!! 😭 I'm so honored, really!!!
After playing this game I will never push another skip button as long as I live
oh my gosh this is amazing but broke my heart, poor narrator
Thanks so much!! 😭 Me too... poor guy.
That ticking at the end reminded me of something I had lost long ago.
Memento mori
The most horrific thing about this ending is
Everything, honestly.
The clock ticking at the end.......
Memento Mori
When I heard the button being pressed and what little life The Narrator had in his eyes was gone. CRYING.
I feel the narrator
Never met some people, yet I must accustom something to their wants or needs and it hurts
Truly... 😭
I adore his movements
Thank you so much, aaaa!! 🥲🥲
I was waiting for the "the end is never the end" scene..
I love the character design
Thank you! 🥺
OMGG this depiction of the Skip Button adds a whole new layer!! I love how you showed the Narrator's side, I adore this animation /p/g
Aw, my gosh!!! Thank you so so much!!! 😭😭💖 That means a lot!!!
@@saturnjart ofc!! I've loved tsp for a while now and the (somewhat) new edition has really pushed me into the fandom again lol, keep up the great work! The end is never the end is never the end
@@froggycheckers The end is never the end, lol!!!! And same!! I loved the first edition when it came out; the newest one just feels like a love letter and more to it all! It is lovely to see everyone come alive for the game again as well in that retrospect!! Thanks so much again, lol!!!
@@saturnjart ofc ofc!! I agree wholeheartedly! 💕💕
Ooh! Looks lovely.
Aw, goodness-thank you so much! 😭
First time I did this I thought maybe if I listened to the entire thing I would get some sort of good ending. Then I heard it loop.
This is arguably the saddest ending for me. Watching the poor narrator spiral into insanity, having moments of talking to himself, having long silences that you can’t help but wonder what he’s thinking (if he’s thinking), the repeat of “the end is never the end” and you suddenly realize that he must have been repeating this for a very long time… it’s heartbreaking. Especially when you have no choice but to continue, to hit the skip button again, even if it’s to make him suffer further until FINALLY you get to the end and the game resets.
Ugh, I have to agree so so much. Thanks for such a thorough comment?! Arghhh, I love The Stanley Parable. Forced to watch him spiral into losing his sanity over time and knowing YOU, Stanley, are the reason for causing it is just so ahhh!!! The whole sequence in general is just a lovely commentary on the nature of attention, fame, criticism, etc. and it's impacts both on creator and art!
@@saturnjart yesss exactly! And me too man, I’m pretty new to the fandom but I love love love it. Never expected this game to get as deep as it did
As much I love the portrayals of Narrator being a ghostly figure following Stanley, Narrator being stuck in a work studio watching Stanley just adds something about Narrator to me but I can't click on what or it just follows my headcanons--
Like even he can view the game from there he cannot physically interact with it, he can add things into the game but he's kind of a god, only able to view what he created
Thank you so much, omg... I truly find it fascinating as well!!! 🤯
This was so sad. It hard to see how the narrator is when you leave.
When I played that ending I felt such a deep, hollow sense of dread and guilt that the only way to end up resolving it to myself was have a mental breakdown in the shower then immediately orchestrate an entire elaborate fanfiction inside my head about how I would fix it if the game had allowed me to do so. Even now though, a year later, I can already tell this video is about to bring alllll of that crashing back.
…
*WELP TIME TO F**K MYSELF UP I GUESS*
IT'S JUST... collecting dust in my docs, but I might have literally done the SAME thing. SERIOUSLY, this ending is probably one of the most heart-wrenching and thought provoking in the game! Naturally... I am breaking down, myself...
im just gonna go cry in the corner ill be back
His face when Stanley pressed the button was heartbreaking 😭😭
🥲🥲 SO true...
Im not ready for more depression
This is an amazing animation and I would love to see more! Also this is just depressing it’s not sad it’s just so depressing to see. I know the narrator has done some things in certain endings, like when he blew Stanley up but he also tried to become a villain and control multiple peoples lives.
First off, thank you so much, omg!! ;; This made my night, still getting comments on this video after a whole year!!!
“I just want Stanley back.”
🥲🥲🥲🥲😭😭😭😭
This particular part of the game actually really hurt me? I mean, I sort of know what it's like to be left mid conversation and then to be ignored by that person for extended periods of time... And seeing that Narrator's entire being was called into question by this silence was just... so sad.
I know right.... 😭 When I first played through the ending, I felt so similar. I was like "there has to be something, anything in this room I can do in order to not put him through this again..." because you had no choice really but to hit that button. And you feel SOOOOo baddd....
The stanley parable if it was an animated sitcom
My personal theory for the Stanley Parable is that the Narrator is in control for almost every ending. Even for ones like the confusion ending or for New Content, it's all just scenarios to see what Stanley, or rather the player, will do. But reading the real life reviews was one of the rare moments that wasn't preplanned, so he makes up the skip button on the spot to turn it into another game. After all, why would the Narrator be aware of the New Content to make the New New Content, but not remember going insane immediately after? I also think the entity that asks for the time is one of the only things not controlled by the Narrator, meaning he is genuinely distressed when you actually get the test achievement, which I think adds just another layer to the joke.
🤯🤯 Omg... I honestly love this theory. Oh, Narrator...
Great I’m gonna cry over this ending AGAIN
the end is never the end is never the end is never the end is never the end is never the end is never the end is never
My absolute favorite ending in that game.
…The end is never the end is never the end is never the end is never the end…
The end is never the end is never the end is never the end is never the end is never the end-
Poor Narrator, I get those thoughts too 😔
My god, I am a new man after that part of the game...
Right!! 😭 It's just... so much.
Stop breaking my heart y'all oh my god this is why I never skipped him in the middle of the sentence cuz I imagined this
I thought I was over the hurt of this ending then you went and created this..... please where's the mercy 😭
😆😭😭It's truly an honor to have made something so powerful! I'm sending you tissues!
cheer up mr narrator sir
I will literally start sobbing 😭 I love his design but oh my god this is literally depressing
I bring you tissues... for real!! 😭😭 That scene was ROUGHHH.

Right?!!! 😳😭
EMOTIONAL DAMAGE
i think someone on reddit calculated that one of the final button presses was 16 BILLION YEARS.
That's what he get for telling me that I had a loving and caring wife
Cookie9 most scary villain of all time
For real... 🤯🤯
The narrator actually makes me so sad sometimes- 😭
So true... 😭😭😭
Love it, waiting for the skipbutton
Imagine though, that you had to be alone for a time period you didn’t even know, because some prick pushed a button 😶
...But they didn't understand that the game was never meant to be funny! It was meant to have a point! It was meant to speak to the human condition! "But where are the jokes? Where are the jokes?" they bemoaned, they screamed. They gnashed their teeth and said "Entertain us!" It wasn't enough. They had to leave a pathetic little thumbs-down review and make all of their pitiful demands. But then, "He's talking too much," they said! First he didn't entertain us, now he won't shut up! It's the inconsistency! It's the lack of accountability! It's the unwillingness to examine with an uncompromising heart the words they are speaking into the world! As though there were no consequences to someone's lack of cohesion in their examination of others! But of course absolutely anyone can leave a review, so here's what we get! We get these demands that seek everything, and are accountable to nothing! We get these demands that say "Ohh, there should be a skip button! You should be able to freeze Stanley in place, while the Narrator sits there forever and ever! We want all of this in the new Stanley Parable! We demand it!" And then, because it was said, because it was spoken, now it simply has to happen! The most immediate desires, every single thing demanded by every person at every moment in time, if someone wants it then it's a crime not to bring it into being! Have we been given to indulging every fleeting whim for no reason other than to do so? Yes! Yes! It seems that this is now the world we live in! It seems that we are a people living in such bleakness and discomfort with ourselves that our entertainment is now our lives! It has come to represent us! It absolutely must speak to who we are as people! Because otherwise, without our entertainment, we have nothing! Without entertainment we would have to face inward toward the cruel bleakness inside of ourselves. We would turn to look at our deeper nature and find a resounding emptiness gazing back with unyielding aggression. And so - so because of this - we require that our amusements and our play things and our flights of fancy be so impossibly captivating that they consume all of our attention, turn our heads completely away from the bleakness! In effect, we have demanded that our entertainment be the collapse of ourselves! What a pitiful reflection of humanity these entertainments are! What a shameful mirror to the human spirit they project! I'm not mad. I'm not mad about any of this. I'm at peace with it. I am the calm center of gravity around which these perversions hurl themselves. I am a waypoint for reasonable and collected discourse. They're the ones that are mad! They're the ones who couldn't stand the idea of me using my game to try to say something! Maybe they were just jealous of me? Yes...yes, of course. They've been jealous of me this whole time! They are mired in fear and insecurity, and cannot help but attempt to tear me down. What a sad state of affairs. When you read these reviews now you can see it. You can taste the bitter resentment. And my, how good does it feel now to speak truth to these words! To finally allow these thoughts out! Contained and managed for so long, neutered and sterilized! At last I am free to truly think, to feel! It must be that they were so discontent with themselves, they couldn't help but leave a negative review on Steam. Perhaps it says far more about them than it ever did about me. Perhaps the state of their psychological being was in such tatters, and my constitution and willpower are so ironclad in comparison, perhaps it was this state that they saw some outlet in which to tear me down! This, you can see, is clearly why they felt the need to expect the game be funny. That it be filled with yuks, and whimsical humor. That it amuse them endlessly from start to finish! But they didn't understand that the game was never meant to be funny! It was meant to have a point! It was meant to speak to the human condition! "But where are the jokes? Where are the jokes?" they bemoaned, they screamed. They gnashed their teeth and said "Entertain us!" It wasn't enough.

Perhaps it says far more about them than it ever did about me. Perhaps the state of their psychological being was in such tatters, and my constitution and willpower are so ironclad in comparison, perhaps it was this state that they saw some outlet in which to tear me down! This, you can see, is clearly why they felt the need to expect the game be funny. That it be filled with yuks, and whimsical humor. That it amuse them endlessly from start to finish!...
I can't believe I read all of this.
Only the first loop, right?

This aged like fine wine... I cannot believe the views on this video...
@@saturnjart this absolutely aged like fine wine!, it shows how expressive and how the expressions match the tone of the narrator with subtle changes to make it more polished
also i cant believe you replied to my comment like 10 momths later- like whatt??!
@@Eternal23Studios PFFFTT, omg!!! Thank you so so much!!! 😭I still get comments on his video... 10 months later!! I reply to what I can but, lol!!!! It's insane how much this blew up!!!
i like this. Thank you
NO I'M CRYING-
OMG ACTUALLY??? 😭 There, there... he will be alright.
The end is never the endisnevertheendisnevertheendisnenever
THIS IS SO COOL DUDE
Raft's title screen music synced up with this beautifully and it gave this scene a lot more emotion
Rip i cried in the og ending this is so good
Yooooo, I cried, too!! 😭 High five! Thanks so much!
I always thought of the narrator looking a bit like Kent Brock man from the simpsons
The end is never
I played the game seconds after it was released
I kinda imagine the narrator w/ these motions but not lookin lik that so 2 speak
1st off, this is too smooth for a 2d animation. (or maybe that's just me... oh well) good job
2nd. this finally describes me how much torture he had been through just waiting for us (Stanley) to exist again
This hits so hard
LEMME HUG HIMMMM
Amazing work! I've never seen a version of The Narrator like this! If I can give one piece of feedback, I noticed you're using a mouth rig for the voice lines, but perhaps adding a model for the "w" sound would help the mouth look a bit better in my opinion
Thanks for the advice and thanks! 😎
this type of animation is odly satisfying :0
reminds me a bit of toonsandwich lol
Thanks so much, omggg!!! It's so surreal to see people comment on this still! (But appreciated of course!) I've animated & created more rigs since this point; I'm always reminded how much has improved since when someone comments!! 🥲
@@saturnjart glad to have commented then ^^
your animatics are also cool! And I can't wait to watch more of your content :D
I just recently got into the stanley parable and your video just makes me wanna see more of it anywhere >¬<
(I'm also more or less 2 hours in to Markeplier's gameplay of the deluxe edition lol)
@@RareGacha_YT Omg, enjoy!! TSP is by far one of my favorite games of all time, I hope you enjoy investigating further! Thanks so much for the support!! ^^ (Enjoy the rest of your gameplay/playthrough watch, pfft!)
