The presentation of this concept is absolutely stunning, incredible work with the character models and the details with the VHS commercial! I almost wish that I could know more about how the game would play..but that's mostly from how captivating this premise/style is HAHA

I love this take on "lost media" games and the trailer for this "game" was so unsettling and executed amazingly I'm in such awe!! I don't know why investors wouldn't take this smh i'd have loved this honestly. This is so amazing!!!

Our Last SummerLove how the filter on the screenshots supports the story behind this fake game! This is absolutely phenomenal for two days worth of work!

Coffee Stained DuetLove that VHS filter. Love that reverb on the music track and the narration. Seems like the colors in the video were a bit too saturated to be on the VHS tape itself. Also, didn't the Wii U come out in like 2010? Well past VHS time? That was a strange juxtaposition. You're obviously fully capable of making something quite good. Love a good fake commercial. Hope you keep making!

Cool Game, Fun Game 9The game and the video itself is supposed to evoke an uncanny feeling. It's not actually a 2010s era commercial, it's not actually a VHS tape, and it's not actually a video game. By making things off and unaligned feeds more into that eerie feeling to let the audience know something's wrong; moreover that something's fake. It's almost like a temporary glance into an alternate reality, where the game exists, where things are amiss from how we know them. A big inspiration from this mixed form of unreality art style is Omega Mart, an amazing permanent art installation that has several youtube videos showcasing their themes and displays.
Overall it's supposed to be a surreal piece of art, that has layers, and as you stare at it, the layers come apart at their seams, leaving you only with a disconcerting feeling.
Though, art isn't always meant to be explained, and the intent behind the piece can be easily lost if intent is not clearly laid out, so I'm sorry for that, but my intention was to not make something authentic, but to make something unique.

The DrawersDude I am super tired after staying up late to finish this, but I love 3D modeling so much that helped being able to super focus on that for several hours without leaving my computer. Animations on the other hand, are not as easy to love and I think I finished them with only a couple of hours before the timer ran out. I definitely gotta plan for a smaller fake game next time so I can get some more sleep.
Very pretty models. The "recording of an ad on an old VHS tape" premise is quite novel!
