So the Johnny 5 Aces sketch actually sold. For $5,100.00

But poo poo, someone refresh me on Zybourne Clock.

It was supposed to be some Chrono Trigger-esque video game with a book series? And the Clock was some time travel device?

Like what the gently caress was the plot?

I think they only managed to hash out a few worldbuilding details before it completely went to poo poo, so there's only a very bare plot outline available at most. The basic concept was apparently fairly decent but I don't remember it well enough unfortunately.

Was Zybourne Clock the one where they threw the only person with actual gamedev experience off the team, or was that another goon project?

I felt like that may have been the case. Sucks. I remember the sketches and the weird timeline picture but not much else.

I want to say that was the Shut Up and Jam Gaiden team? Someone was talking about how they feature creeped the gently caress out of something like Item Synthesis or some other mechanic.

That describes probably the majority of online video game projects, not counting the ones that never manage to get anyone with actual gamedev experience in the first place.

FreddieW claims he bought it

MrSpiffy posted:

I have come out of my cave of being an internet has-been to purchase this. I have the winning bid.

Roll your eyes all you want - I think this drawing is important.

I was there for the original thread, and the SA forums of that time period formed my dumbass sense of humor. That single piece of art, with the jaunty leg tilt, crotch bulge, and unorthodox card handling technique, has brought me more joy than just about any weird internet thing I've ever encountered. It's pure art - drawn by someone with genuine intent to contribute to a collaborative internet project, and like a fuckin herald of the cesspool internet to come, that project flamed out as internet strangers from around the world came together to dunk hard on it. It's one of the earliest examples of how a bunch of anonymous strangers with mixed intentions collaboratively created something far greater than the sum of its parts, and must be preserved.

This drawing and the ideas it inspired brought people together. It continues to do so. The artist claimed that dumb gently caress $150,000 banana taped to a wall is worth that much because of the "idea" of it. If so, then what is the endless fount of inspiration that this drawing represents worth?

Like the balls on the edge of the cliff, forever appearing and knocking the next one down, Johnny Five Aces will go on forever motherfuckers.

I eagerly anticipate receiving this, getting it properly framed, and lending it out to any art exhibits of internet ephemera that might happen to pop up.

a huge not-at-all-secret about an entire marketing demographic is that nerds will give you money for anything

someone, somewhere, is absolutely paying fifty-one hundred US dollars for that piece of internet history and will frame it lovingly and put it in the room with their framed print of Loss and poster of Barnacle Jim

It never had a coherent plot, it was just a lot of disjointed ideas. Mainly because 90% of the people involved just wanted to do "concept art", and the few people working on the story immediately started bickering over every tiny detail.

It was Arthur Lee (aka 'Mr Podunkian') - he's done a few xmas-themed MGS parody games, and an unfinished platformer that looked decent, but was a pretty blatant Cave Story knockoff.
