>>1083773 >>1083980 you shitting me, there's people this retarded on the internet?

Is this good? My interest in Newgrounds has fallen off.

>>1084078 It's lowkey a playable animation. The creator is a professional animator after all Visually the game is great and super polished, the gameplay is serviceable, nothing too fancy, like a single step beyond a walking sim. You either love the aesthetic and will break your back hunting every single secret and bit of lore or you'll find it completely uninteresting.

>>1083980 Here's my favorite tranny!

>>1084101 I love weird games that don’t prioritize gameplay, but I have a pretty significant distaste for games that try to emulate the aesthetics of old games in new engines like Unity. Haunted PS1, Ultrakill, Buckshot, etc - genuinely, I would rather set up a Windows 95 virtual machine and throw a CD from a Freegames/LMW ripper on Internet Archive than play any of that shit. I played Dream BBQ for an hour and might revisit it. I’ve watched every previous Ena and I always liked Hands Up more anyway.

>>1084106 Give a try. The paradigm is shifting There's been interesting developments in shading / filters for indies. They are getting pretty close to emulating the aesthetic of old 2000s content, but also firmly their own thing. Simply things like a Dithering emulator for things like Mouthwashing make interesting visuals.

>>1084112 Do you have any favorites among the type of game that Dream BBQ is trying to emulate? LSD, Myst, Drowned God, Pink Gear, Cyber Oz City, Toymaker. There's enough stuff on Saint's channel alone to fill a replica of the 4/vr/ surreal exploration game list.

I don't like her design, and feel like people are only pretending this is good because it has some eceleb tied to it

Game is fun if you like adventure games and/or weird aesthetics. The character roster is pretty memorable with the list of oddballs you can meet and/or do odd jobs for. This Ena isn't as fun most of the time because her secondary/girl-voiced side isn't as active. Depressed Ena was fun in the web series and pissed(?) Ena is fun in the game, but the latter doesn't come out as often. I wish to impregnate the schizo catgirl.

>>1084167 Whatever fag

>>1084167 >it has some eceleb tied to it Damn I had no idea. I guess I hate it now.

>>1084101 >>1084195 >>1084181 >>1084112 >The creator is a professional Dat desperate have a SAGE and get a real job

>>1084244 I will masturbate to ENA and there is nothing you can do about it!

Cool, but i still want to inseminate the catgirl, though.

>>1084167 >it has some eceleb tied to it What the fuck are you talking about

>>1084256 Joel G, the animator has a following. Plus there's some other e-celebs he got to do voices but the only one I know off the top of my head is Vinny from Vinesauce.

>>1084167 >>1084281 In this day and age how else are you going to get following? I always found marketing campaigns of any kind shameful back before YouTube took off, but nevertheless it’s either shill your stuff or hope you randomly get noticed. Eceleb-faggotry is just another example of this.

>>1084167 Didn't the main voice actor get replaced because he was luring children in his Discord? Gayduck(?) was his name and was a puertorican furfag.

>>1084281 >Joel G, the animator has a following. Joel is producer, writer and creative director on top of that. Only thing he doesn't do is dev and do the 3D blender anims. And he was never an eceleb >vinny no idea who that is caring about VAs is an alien concept to me.

>>1084324 Vinny = the other Vinesauce guy that isn't Joel.

>>1083693 >>1084101 >>1084324 zoomer newfag lmao

>>1084328 I've never watched an LP in my life.

ENA was already one of the last bastions of absurdist internet art, being and adventure game puts even more "outdated" weight on it's shoulders but it might work out since chapter one seems good. >>1084281 He effectively bypassed all the bullshit VA union FAGtra bullshit by asking his youtuber friends to voice characters for free, it's a smart move. >>1084071 It's not, Joel G used to keep telling them to fuck off when someone assumed it was but I think he gave up on repeating the whole spiel at somepoint and just says that ENA is a girl without expanding on it when someone asks. >>1084296 ENA's left face is on her third VA.

>>1084671 >absurdist internet art Is that what you call lol so randum xd maymay humor?

>>1084671 I fucking love that wizard. You talk to him again and he's just vibing, but if yo KEEP talking to him, he'll stop, then just stare at you.

I hate ENA because it's complete absurdism for the sake of absurdism. Maybe that makes a statement and I'm retarded but it really irks me the exact same way randumb quirky humor does. That plus the main character is a wacky woman who is voiced by a man makes me think the creator is either a faggot or tranny, as is almost always the case with shit of this style. I don't know anything about the artist but I've disliked it all purely off of a gut feeling.

>>1084678 It used to be called "Dadaism"

>>1084694 see >>1084671 It's not troonery, it's just an aesthetic choice.

>>1084704 Ok. I still don't like it.

>>1084697 Dadaism is pretentious pseudo-intellectual commie garbage. Perhaps the most utterly worthless "contribution" of the 20th century.

>>1084713 Like most art that came out during the late 19th and early/mid 20th century. Including cubism, expressionism, fauvism, pop, etc...

>>1084694 He's a man from Peru Fucking Christ you niggers never played a 90s adventure game.

>>1084694 I want to pet those kittens Consider switching from clay litter to wood based litter (I buy ökocat super soft wood clumping cat litter) Wood based kinds have less of a smell, less dust, is healthier for their feet, and is lighter. Best of luck to them!

>>1084694 > it's complete absurdism for the sake of absurdism. I'll be real with you: It's only absurdism if you fail to pick the references. ENA borders on 2deep4u /mu/ tier autism on the sheer amount of references to "cultural aesthetics" it has. it's not trying anything new really, it's all a reference to something. The last sentence is a bit of a criticism tbh.

>>1084713 >>1084715 The key error was assuming the only value “realism” had was supplanted by photos. Real life stuff simply looks better than abstract stuff for the most part. You might say that real women are uglier than fictional ones, and overall you’d be right, but the most good looking fictional women in my opinion have a “photo-realistic” artstyle while at the same time exceeding the beauty of actual real women. Not to mention you can have surrealistic elements like coloring, structures, etc while still having realistic anatomy, shading, etc. At the same time, not every appealing piece of art is in a realistic art style, but it all has the same kind of symmetry that real life has. Even when a character design is asymmetrical it’s still comprised of symmetry. It’s difficult to put into words. Samurai Jack looks good, Picasso’s Weeping Woman looks bad. But Samurai Jack’s artsyle is probably descended from commie art like Picasso’s, or at the very least there’s similarity.
