Heya! Modeler/Developer at IGS, creators of Slaughter Me Street (though I was not involved with the company at the time of the original games' development) here. Great video! As for a potential third entry, keep an eye out! We're currently working on remaking the first two games first, to bring them to a higher standard of quality (as well as some other things behind the scenes), but a third entry will happen eventually. We hope you look forward to it, I'll be sure to spread this video around 🙂
Hello
@@Saigomo2024 Hi!
Im so excited for the remakes! 123 SMS was a part of my childhood.
@@glitchedlizard I remember the game from 2021
So like, do you guys have a gamejolt or just steam, cuz I'd give the so retro one a shot
Fun Fact:In the first trailer for Showdown Bandit. It showed a different combat system that was scrapped for the weird aiming circles seen in the final game.
There's a full 4 hour documentary about the insanity that was showdown bandit by Chirs Portal. Explains what happened
Showdown Bandit was such a cool concept. Shame it didn't take off. At least we kind of got a look at what the game might have been like with Boris and the Dark Survival. Never heard of Venge and 123 Slaughter Me Street is really weird.
Honestly, I'll go out and say it conceptually I think Showdown Bandit is a way much compelling concept for an indie horror than Bendy. Bendy's setting is admittingly unique as far as mascot horrors go (being a literal alternate dimension tied to the studio rather than just "place that gets quirky" ala FNAF, Poppy, Banban, etc.) but the premise of puppets coming to life ala Toy Story after years of inactivity due to a cancelled show, only to find the showrunners have gone missing, is really dang interesting.
It has a nice intrigue to it, and it feels less like your typical mascot horror "worker goes to previous workplace to find everything has gone awol", but rather you're in a way _one of the monsters._ You're one of the puppets trying to figure out what happened, all the while making sure a mysterious observing entity doesn't get suspicious.
Venge is good and I hope it's continued cause I heard the creator of that game was fucked over by the creator of pooppy playtime
@@darkcrydotmrihavetoomanyst1440 Yeah that's the only thing I heard about it. Makes it difficult for me to get interested in Poppy with how many creators have been mistreated by them.
@@DuskEalain this is what I was going to say! It feels like a darker take on toy story and finding out what happened to the creators/Showrunners is a part of the mystery!
@@bella_daze3092 I've noticed that's unfortunately a bit of an issue with Mascot Horror as a genre. You have to have some originality and (tbh rather contrived usually) intrigue, but go _too hard_ into it and your game becomes more volatile. Showdown Bandit was trying something too niche, both in gameplay and the "nostalgia hook" (marionette shows, let alone westerns, are almost a century old at this point and unlike rubberhose cartoons are less well-preserved). I personally really enjoyed the game despite its faults and was hoping to see it continue and improve, but it doesn't surprise me why it flopped.
Like people meme on it but is there any surprise in the fact Garten of Banban is successful? Child-friendly character designs, intentionally confusing plot, vague lore, it's Hello Neighbor all over again.
I find it odd that you didnt mention what happened to showdown bandit? the game was finished, but just before release mike and themeatley delayed it 2 weeks and completely rebuilt everything with the assets they had and thats what we got
thats why the game has good concepts, visuals, optimization, sound design, etc. but horrid gameplay
It's especially strange because Daggz mentions the Chris Portal videos where this is mentioned. Maybe Daggz hasn't finished them or forgot that part, I just hope people don't think it's the rest of the team's fault for Mike and Meatly's bs.
@@Itookabathinibiza5624 yeah exactly. the team likely made an amazing game, it was just mike and themeatley and their egos, thinking a game was bad and that they could do better. funny where that got them!
Wait- really? I actually didn’t know about this. Could you tell me where you found this info?
@@krahen7236yikes… this is honestly the first time I’m hearing about it. I didn’t know that they rebuilt everything from the ground up. It definitely explains the gameplay.
what was it going to play like?
So, this is my understanding of the plot of the "123 Slaughter Me Street" series. So, Tim Denson made a show called the "Foggel Friends". However, the Nightmare (the red one) felt Tim was plagiarizing him (somehow). So, the Nightmare possessed Tim into killing his daughter and turned Tim's muppets to murders monsters, leading to the events of the second game. After running around his house for several days instead of just escaping, Tim realize the police arrive and runs away. Somehow in between games, he gets to the top of a building.
In the original "123 Slaughter Me Street", Tim jumps off the room a building and land on another. For some reason, this building has a completely different set of murderous puppets. After avoiding them for seven floors, Tim finds the bottom floor is on fire preventing him from escaping. Then, the new puppets just kill him.
Also, Tim may or may not be off his rocker with the puppets just being hallucinations.
for me, Tim when he gets in the building, he actually ends up dying, and the rest of the entire gameplay is actually set in hell itself and Tim is now in this eternal torture to keep walking in these corridors with little things of the crimes he did in the past.
I still mourn the loss of tattletail to this day. It had an insane amount of potential and there was clearly a lot of heart behind it.
Edit: wait, when did it get a dlc? I know it was teased, but I thought nothing ever came of it.
I think it was a great game and ended off where it wanted to.
Same here!! I absolutely loved the fact that the official website was made to seem like the company behind Tattletail was actually running it. There are so many questions I have and wish they would've fleshed out the lore and game itself. Like you said, it had a lot of potential.
What no loss tattletail was a full game with full kaleidoscope DLC and are died peacefully
@@SuperJavaMan7some games deserve to die off peacefully, lot of times it gets ruined when other games come out
What loss? It was a finished game with a DLC
Not every game needs to be milked to death like FNAF
It sucks that showdown bandit fell apart the way it did. Although if you're interested in the artstyle and concepts I recommend an older game called gunstringer; it's a comedic game where you play as a puppet cowboy in a play. It's really funny and really fun to play.
I haven't thought about Gunstringer organically in years, omg. Memories of the Xbox Kinects janky controls....
@@gemstone4264 Honestly, it was the best xbox connect game other than fruit ninja; that's not saying much tho
And it was on the Granny 3D engine.
BUT I REALLY MISS GRANDFATHER 2D
The story of Venge as I know it is a bit more than just the Poppy being accused of plagiarizing but the devs (Mob games) being absolute asshats to Ekrcoaster and there are plenty of videos on THAT clusterfuck but suffice to say Mob harrassed him and got people to bully Ekr to the point he had to check himself into a mental hospital or something to that degree.
and it was all because Ekrcoaster turned down their offer to join them at TheEnchantedMob
Ye, Daggz’ video went over that part.
The guy who runs EnchantedMob is honestly such a piece of shit, he's one of the many many reasons why I think Poppy Playtime sucks.
That harassing thing happened in 2017. Everyone in that scenario haven’t reached the age of 18 yet. It wasn’t much harassment as it was poking fun at his animation skills. Mob wanted to reach out to Ekrcoaster to apologize and make amends, but he refused any and all forms of communication from them.
@@Crazycolors1248
Wasn’t that the apology that Ekrcoaster said that he didn’t know anything about before the tweet?
In defense of Ekrcoaster, he has a personal history with the CEO of MOB Games and he said that he wouldn't have accused Poppy Playtime of plagiarism if it was just a random project. Outside some minor similarities (one of the monsters in Venge looks like Huggy and the whole text that appears when you die), I don't think MOB Games copied or even got inspired by Venge in the first place. I believe the harassment Ekrcoaster did caused him not to see any good in MOB Games and, as a result, he saw the similarities as proof of plagiarism. Especially since he needed to check himself in a psychiatric facility after the guys he looked up to sent their audience to harass him.
As for Venge, I do think it has the potential to become more popular. Ekrcoaster also made some meme games like that Christmas game with Maria Chery defrosting that Dawko played. So that might happen to venge as well.
Which game
Showdown bandit actually had potential.
Indeed... How about Venge? :/
@@chermal7311 it also looks good!
There actually might be making more of it but its been put on the back burner
I loved that game for over 4 years
And i still loved it still
austin was SCREAMING and CRYING while playing 123 slaughter me street. he HATES it.
He gave birth To my children!
To me, 123 SMS is like the kind of more successful cousin to Alphabet Lane which also had potential in its own right. Though tbh, 123 was more reminiscent to Jim Henson's The Dark Crystal for me. There's also an entire video by the 123 dev about a scrapped third game where you fight literal demons.
Also I really hope that Venge comes back. The story and gameplay both have so much potential and I can't help but feel really bad for the dev.
Your Dark Crystal comparison was spot on. I messaged one of the original devs of the game, years ago. And they told me that The Dark Crystal was a direct inspiration.
@@JaxonElzinga I KNEW IT!
Showdown bandit deserves a second episode. 😢
FACTS
And better controls
I am hoping HARD that Joey Drew Studios gives Showdown a second chance. Change the controls, faster movement, a little closer camera, be able to use the cork gun more but maybe have limited ammo, etc. I wanna know the lore!
@@spoopyghost3333 so basically make it more like a typical survival horror game like they should have from the beginning. Definitely agree
@@spoopyghost3333 EXACTLY AND LIKE MC JUST GOT TAKEN OFF THE STAGE BY HAND AND NOW WE KNOW NOTHING AND ITS UPSETTING AS HELL
Hey! Im a pateron for venge and got to test out some of its content early. I can tell you that its not just a visual upgrade to the new game, but its bascailly an entirely new game complety remade from the ground up with very little to do with 1.0
You defeitnly should check it out, there is going to be a public beta for 2.0 very soon!
How Showdown Bandit turned out was really disappointing considering that the dev team made so much content that was scrapped when theMeatly and Mike Mood took over.
The game was originally meant to have a crafting system, audio logs, and the ability to shoot the cork gun without being on those pads.
I wish all of that was left in, 'cause the released game was so slow and boring.
Imagine we lived in a world where Slaughter Me Street was the big mascot horror franchise instead of FNAF. What a world.
Sidenote you mentioned the game very briefly but I'm curious if you'll ever do a video covering the Granny series. It was like really popular for like a month and then everyone stopped talking about it despite it getting two sequels (one of which isn't even allowed on the Apple app store because Apple considers it spam) and an official steam port. Seems like Granny is this weird hidden inbred sibling in the mascot horror scene. Great video regardless!
I wouldn't call Granny a Mascot horror.
Fun fact: there was a planned sms 3 but I haven’t heard much about that tittle in a while. I know slaughter me street is getting a new game called 123 Slaughter Me Street: Evolution which is a remake of the original game. Also I just noticed the showdown bandit merch clip at 13:45 was from my old video when I found them at Walmart. That actually gave me flashbacks since I remember that merch was flooded everywhere in Walmart.
Nice review though and I’m glad to see people discussing these games despite their flaws and some not aging the best rip.
Seeing Showdown Bandit in the thumbnail and talked about has my inner showdown bandit fan screaming and jumping with joy. This game has so much potential and I saw it the first time the game dropped… so it makes me mad that people were so harsh on the game when it first came out. It could’ve been such a great game. If they ever do revisit it in the future and actually work on it, I would love to see it… but I don’t know if we’ll ever get that day.
Also time stamp 12:36
The reaction of an audience is the result of a visionless direction, and poor choices.
@@palecaptainwolfkayls8499 I agree. They clearly had a vision but some kinda production hell happened but i don’t know what kind since I’ve never worked on a video game in development before. I know film so- what I do know is that somethin’ happened behind the scenes. That’s kinda it. Anyway, uh- I’m glad you decided to read my comment! That means a lot! Have a great day!
@@bella_daze3092
I _could_ say that Chris Portal documents the entirety of KindlyBeast’s pains effectively, or that there was a bunch of crunch with a really hostile boss, the usual
But for Showdown Bandit alone, the real slashes to the strings were the directors’ inability to describe what they wanted,
And how _after_ the employees did their best to try to follow, their build was entirely scrapped, as the directors disappeared for a couple weeks to make the build we now know.
@@palecaptainwolfkayls8499 I’ll give his video a watch. Thanks for recommending it.
It's interesting viewing mascot horror as an outsider. I hear so much criticism about games like BanBan, Poppy, and the various roblox cookie cutters. It never crosses my mind that there are other games from this genre/subgenre that did it worse and fell to fate's end. Sometimes looking back on them can be an interesting way to view the current state of the genre and other genres as a whole.
Technically it’s not always even that they did bad it’s just that they never got traction
Showdown Bandit has never left my brain, I just could never remember the name 😅 It gave me mid-late 2000's horror vibes, kinda like those horror maps for Little Big Planet
Am I seriously the ONLY PERSON who liked showdown bandit? It had serious potential
You’re not the only one.
ME TOO!!! I fucking loved it! I still love it! I literally had a Halloween party based on the theme of that game😭 the concept was just so intriguing to me and I wanted to see more. It’s sad it didn’t do well. I knew it would improve overtime in that later chapters would improve on the earlier chapters. But I guess no one agreed on that…
Not the only one! I absolutely love string puppets and Showdown Bandit along with DAGames' song was an amazing grasp of fresh air for me.
NOT ONE BIT!!! I was OBSESSED with this games artstyle and aesthetic when it came out and am still so sad it never got to see the light of day again 😭 it had so much potential imo
It had such a cute vibe! Was also pretty scary too, i remember quoting lorelie undertaker every time, i loved her voice!
Poppy copied Venge, but a different version of it, this is something that I have talked with the Dev behind Venge, Ekrcoaster.
I already knowed about Venge even before it's controversy, back in 2018 when the project was called Glitch. back then he released a short teaser demo of the game before rebooting it into becoming Venge.
When I read the document he compiled about his history with Mob Entertainment and Poppy Playtime, I noticed that something wasn't lining up.
It was the release date and content of both games.
Poppy released in October of 2021 and Venge in July 2020. Venge, as you have experienced, offered a fastly different experience than Poppy. I know about game development and I know that It couldn't be possible to plagerize a game with this much content in such a short amount of time
When I noticed this, I began to question. "How did poppy plagiarize this game? Sure, Ekrcoaster had proof that Mob Ent. threated him wrong in the past, and I could see then plagirizing his game just to mock him, but how would then be able to do that"
Then I remembered the prototype, A.K.A Glitch.
I checked, and as I expected, both Glitch and Poppy were similar. similar premise, similar gameplay and similiar plot and events.
I went thorught Discord and talked with Coaster, when I told him about it, he agreed it me that this was possible that they could have plagiarized the older version (Glitch) instead of the current one (Venge).
That was the end of my Story with Venge Controversy.
I want to quickly talk about Ekrcoaster himself, he is quite friendly and frequently post updates about the status of his game and animations on Discord, so if you were intresting about Venge, you should check his Discord for updates, and talking with him.
I also want to point out that the people behind Poppy Playtime, A.K.A Mob Games, aren't responsible for anything, there are just a dev team trying to make a actual game, and the people that are (PRESUMEBLY) responsible with the decison of copying Venge, it's the owners and founders of Mob Entertainment / ZAMination.
OOHHH so you know the venge prototype too and yeah they did copied poppy i played glitch rn and have the same events
Poppy is literally nothing like Glitch
play it again💀💀@@Hemogg1
I looked at two different versions of the Glitch; it was hard to find footage for it, and it looks nothing like Poppy
@@akaitoshion2447 wait you have glitch 2.0?
I think I heard of Themeatly mentioning that he kind of wants to bring back showdown bandit but the problem with it is that he kind of worried that it might fail again
I think it’s cool that the 1st chapter of Showdown Bandit came out on my birthday, it sucks that the game didn’t make it to their full potential.
I think the reason behind the controls of showdown bandit is maybe they were planning on making a mobile port. Makes a lot more sense as a mobile game tapping to go somewhere and stepping in a specific place to shoot
I'll say this, 123 Slaughter Me Street lives rent free in my head. I don't know why, but it is the one that will never leave me.
bruh same
I remember Showdown Bandit because I remember seeing their toys when I was looking for BATDR figures and being disappointed that I could never find the small Bendy. Funny thing was that I never knew the two games had the same company until now. As for Slaughter Me Street, I just stumbled upon an FNF mod and never understood the context, just thinking "Oh, this is cool". The fact that I recognized the character on the thumbnail was one of the main reasons I'm watching this video
collect my mascot horror
Hi Quinnamon I’m a big fan :)
I’m so thankful the number of resources available to amateur developers has increased. I’m willing to bet fan games will start getting better as people learn what’s available and learn from their past.
It’s a shame Showdown Bandit didn’t take off, I was genuinely curious to see how the story unfolded since a giant Human hand showed up in the end of the first chapter
Its a bit sad that some of these Games never managed to reach their full Potential, Like Tattletail or Showdown Bandit.
But you win some, you loose some...
I absolutely loved showdown bandit, the concepts and designs were just so cool to me, it's sad to see what happened to it and that we never got a second chapter
I need more content on "The Wretched" haha
This is a really fun side series, full of games that's familiar, while others I'm just now learning of their existence.
123 slaughter me street is criminaly underrated.
I found slaughter me street through the series of Odd Stories for Odd Children after being covered by another famous horror ytber I forgot.
Plaintrace?
I’m surprised Ice Scream wasn’t mentioned here to be honest. It had a small spotlight when DanTDM played it a few years ago but it sort of just disappeared
6:30 Dolan?
Sup my dude
definitely
I actually remember the second 123 slaughter me street game very fondly. I didn't play it myself, I actually found it through a long play of it from I believe shadowtoybonbongames but it is hard to tell who made what.
The devs of 123 sms are actually making a new game called sms evolution
Man I'm really glad 123 slaughter me street is still being tweeted. I was never really a fan of the game, but I really liked the Dev's channel oddstories. They have really cool puppets
I will forever be mad at how Kindly Beast treated Showdown Bandit. Mike Mood treated this game and its devs so badly and the fact the game's pretty much been canned just boils my blood because the concept was so creative and the characters had some good lore to them! It got one chapter, some merch, and then the people at Kindly Beast never did anything with the game because it never got any real attention because _they_ bastardized it. Ooohhhh it makes me so mad.
Showdown Bandit will always make me sad to remember.
the visual style of it is so immaculate; it could've been a great game.
It's about time someone mentioned showdown bandit. I personally and I'm sure a bunch of other people poured a bunch of money into merch and was a huge fan of the game when it came out. So I was quite disappointed when it got cancelled. Great concept, great game bad and too soon of an end.
I remember finding out about the song after seeing people play 123 Slaughter Me Street and I loved it, I really want the third game to come out so people (hopefully) make videos about it and "revive" the game
I love slaughter me street - it's such a wild series. One of my series actually started off as a VN fangame of it so it holds a special place in my heart
Venge IS honestly IS my favorite one Because it is very different from other games
God knowing most of these games..just SMS 123 has the most existence in my life! I remember being in the discord and talking to some of the people even the creator! He was a funny man
I can't help but feel bad for Showdown Bandit flopping, yet laugh at it for the exact same thing.
Imagine making a game that had EVERYTHING set up in plan for it, and still fucking up so badly that not even the merch is lucrative.
I honestly say it's just karma doing it's job since Mike and themeatly completely scrapped all the content the other dev team made rebuild everything into this shell of game 2 weeks before the games release.
I wish at the very least showdown was fully finished, it looked awesome and while the controls felt terrible it had some interesting ideas could've worked as a third person shooter also 123-2 has a flashlight THAT HAS A BLACK CIRCLE IN THE CENTER OF THE FLASHLIGHT HUH?
Showdown bandit was actually good is whats sad about its disappearance
the og creator of slaughter me street has a youtube channel called Odd Stories YT where he posts things involving puppets, including those of the follower and greeter. i honestly have no clue whats going on in any of the videos and the SMS game characters dont play big roles in them but its still super cool and the real-life puppets look absolutely fantastic
Showdown Bandit looks like it suffers the case of could have been great. And it definitely had potential. But, it fumbled the ball.
I feel like Showdown Bandit has the bones of something that could be good. It looked really cool! Shame it wound up the way it did.
Man, it is such a shame, for the longest time. I actually thought Showdown Bandit was quiet because they didn't want to spoil and surprise us when it fully released, but now, as I watch this video, I realize that the game wasn't getting updated 😔
I remember that I really wanted Showdown Bandit to take off. :( Hopefully it returns someday.
Sigh I was so hyped for Showdown Bandit…mainly for the story. The mystery behind who’s animating Bandit and the other puppets and why they should never look up…that final shot of the otherworldly audience…
As some far as i know Venge is still a wip, coaster is still working threw what he can, but its nice to see his game get covered, etc
(Im badly known to some as the starter of "thick Lucy" TWT)
The sad thing is I saw a lot of potential is Showdown bandit. Like its atmosphere was creepy and the gameplay seemed tense at points, plus the scare faced antagonist seemed really frightnening.
Its really a shame that it never got far... I would honestly have loved to see more done with it, but alas.... not all good things come for free...
Adimitedly I did not realise how over marketed the game was...
Im super hyped for VENGE Act 1 2.0 and Act 2! Ekrcoaster has been working on it for a long time and it’s dedicating good time in it with care!
Do you know what's crazy, Shadow Bandit was actually supposed to be way better than it does now, but bc someone wanted to be a petty bitch and decided to sabotage it, making be want it is now and I find that hella disrespectful and disappointing
Apparently SMS 2 was supposed to be much larger and expansive with it all taking place on one level that the player would slowly uncover as they progressed through the game, and watching some of the early trailers I can see a lot of that in there. It's crazy how many rooms/cutscenes in those trailers do not show up in the final game and I feel like if it went with what it was originally going for, it could've been a surfaceable hide n seek survival horror game with more potential to expand on the story
I remember a slaughter me street fansong that I listened to a ton when I was younger but that's really the only memory I had of any of these games, great video!
I already knew Venge and Showdown Bandit
I've even had the action figures of Showdown Bandit ever since they came out
Man showdown bandit was such an amazing idea that got wasted And wish they stuck with rather than abandoning it for their bendy game ( which is good just wish they finished showdown bandit)
No one ever forgets about 123 slaughter me street
i have high hopes for venge with the new act 0 and act 1 updates and even SDB i hope that game makes a come back
I think showdown bandit being reworked into more of a survival horror game could be really cool
it was actually supposed to be more like one at first, but a few days before release the two people running the company forced the team to scrap and remove a ton of already finished content and reworked pretty much the entire game
@@katejadigod im never gonna forgive them for that
I love that TheGameSalmon playing 123 Slaughter Me Street is the trailer for the game on steam
The character designs for Showdown Bandit are phenomenal. I wish the game was as good.
Still love Slaughter me street and Showdown Bandit, i love puppets what can i say
i was briefly very hyperfixated on 123 SMS after the DAGames song dropped, i always knew the games wernt great but the devs are super kind and the small community was too. The 2 mobile games are nothing special but theyre the highlight of the series imo! Worth playing when youre bored.
iirc a third game was scrapped pretty early in development, and one of the devs went off to do puppet stuff on youtube (Odd Stories for Odd Children i think?). There was a teaser for a remake of the first game awhile back that looked promising but I have no clue if its still in development. I feel the second game was rushed because of the sudden popularity and I have more worries that if a new one comes out it'll be similar. I will be playing regardless though. I am an evil blue elmo fan at heart
I really wish you do Zed Technician games. Trust me, it’s one of the most “unique” mascot horror games.
The body types shown sure are unique at least
I couldn’t forget Showdown Bandit, I own all the merch. And always dream of what it could have been.
Showdown bandit was cool to me but what I don’t like Is that the shooting because it’s shame that they give us spots where we shoot.
There was one very old game that was similar to Showdown Bandit. I forgot the name but I remember playing it on PS2 or PS3… It had to do with a puppet boy and golden scissors. It was an adventure/rpg runner. It was very fun although i wish i could remember it.😅
Slaughter me street, showdown bandit, and tattletail were awesome games.
I loved showdown bandit SO MUCH and I am SO SAD that it failed
I'd only ever heard of Venge because of Poppy and never heard of Showdown Bandit at all somehow?? 123 SMS is a throwback though oh my god... I think I remember watching Markiplier play it? Or maybe it was Entoan... either way, I forgot it and the song existed entirely... Hope the remakes of it and Venge are good! I'd love to see them get another chance.
I RENEMBER ALL OF THESE GAMES bro venge i remembers so badly same with 1 2 3 slaughter me street 2 the first 1 2 3 slaughter me street i didnt remembers that much
There's a full 4 hour documentary about the insanity that was showdown bandit by Chris Portal.
Basically the main devs are not good people and the scrapped the entire game 2 weeks before releease and remade it with just them two.
I remember being excited for showdown bandit when the first chapter dropped, seemed like such a neat concept, i lowkey hope it gets revisited and made better
I really like Venge and it really sucks that it got overshadowed by Poppy. Don't get me wrong, I like Poppy, but people act like they're the same thing when they're really not
I think that has more to do with the fact that the heads of development for Poppy Playtime and Venge's dev had beef with each other than it does the games themselves. Like they both draw inspiration from similar places, but it's executed differently. I don't have positive feelings about Poppy Playtime and how the guys at the top of it all have treated others, be it this guy, their own employees, or their fans. I absolutely believe that Venge's developer was victimized and hurt in many horrible ways. But do I believe Poppy Playtime was made purely to spite and crush him? I don't think there's enough solid evidence for that at this point in time, hard to say for sure, but that would really suck if it was true. I mean making a game just to hurt someone? Wrapping a bunch of employees up in a revenge plot without any idea what's really going on? That's supervillain material if I've ever heard it.
The 123 game also got an FNF mod, which might have also given it some recognition...
Venge is the game that among these 3 I know more about it, since I often watch his streams on developing the game as it goes
I knew about Venge and the game is still being worked on. EKRCoaster has worked on Minecraft style animations during development. He's more focused on developing the game now as he's rebuilt the game from scratch and looks much better than before.
I knew nothing about the other 2 prior to this video.
It's really dumb to make merch when your popularity isn't anywhere close to 1/3rd the population of the country you live in.
The best thing that came from 2 out of 3 of these games were two fantastic nerdcore songs by DAGames! "Looking for a Showdown" being my favorite.
I wish showdown bandit didn’t get cancelled, it had such a unique style and the gameplay looked great
Tattletail is still one of my favorites and I really wish it would get more
I just love the little gremlin so much, hearing his voice gives me so much joy and puts a smile on my face "hee HEE hee"
Seeing showdown bandit in the tumbnail got me excited and watching this makes my idea of doing a review for it kinda obsolete because you make great points that I would have made. I was planning to do it this month but had no time to write never made a review before either. I love showdown bandit super sad how it turned out like that (im not an old fan only found out this september)
I will forever be sad that 123 Slaughter Me Street was forgotten, I love that game
While I can understand why 123SMS didn’t exactly take off, its visuals and textures are actually what I deeply enjoy about it. It looks disgusting and gross and haunting. I think if it looked more “polished,” it wouldn’t stand out at all. I’m very excited to see how these games will adapt when revisited.
I have remembered one of the frog character but i didn't know the game is called so i went to one of the game youtubers channel where i had watched it for the first time. bu i have never found it until two years ago i have FINALLY found it! Honestly I hope to see more of it and some improvements to the game. That game i am talking about is Venge
I feel like this mascot horror boom is sort of like a 2nd version of the mascot platformer wars in the 90s. You’ve got your mainstays, some small successes people will fondly remember, and unfortunately your turds
Why dose nobody mention DA Games worked on the music for Slaughter me Street Retro
