Does anybody know what these kind of games are called? They all look the same (buggy physics, off-model characters, low-res textures etc), set in a small open world where the NPCs are mostly stores, and always have gambling in them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OslUuJ58s_s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_8KmRw8610 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RoW4EkAydI Mix. posted:hey who wants to play some Winnie's Hole I feel like this is something pitched to Capcom as a Resident Evil spinoff but was rejected.

The middle one at least is a weird sub-sub genre of “trying to rip off My Summer Car without understanding why it works.” There’s a solid 5-6 games that do that. I know because I love My Summer Car and have bought and refunded multiple. That one was so poo poo I didn’t even need to try to know.

I always think of them as janky life sims, but yeah I know what you mean in that it's weird that it seems to be a whole genre. I am assuming there's a Unity asset out there for making games like this.

It's been a while since I've heard anything regarding it Last update was over a year ago but it's been finished for a bit longer than that, it's ending tail of updates were mostly just small qol/bugfixes. So yeah, it's out and done as it stands. It also has a modding community, so there's some nice fan made stuff to add. I believe there's a sequel, My Winter Car, currently in the works, but don't know if that was just hearsay or not.

But there are probably enough of them that there ought to be one

Someone who knows how to splice footage together could probably stick a shot of Kong from that second one into Beast Wars and it'd fit right in. You know it's bad when it'd be right in place in a mid-90s CGI cartoon. How does this game stack up to Gollum in terms of badness? I know Gollum is bad, but I don't know who'd come out on top if these two slugged it out for the Crown of Crap.

apparently the executable for that game is named monke.exe, it has to be an intentional shitpost on some level

Except it’s not based on the public domain King Kong stuff, I believe. They have rights from whoever’s estate.

There's no grand conspiracy for it being a nft game pivot, it's made by a tiny Chilean developer and published by loving Gamemill who exist to pump and dump licensed dreck

It looks bad but also higher effort than the average asset flip.

Subjunctive posted:Except it’s not based on the public domain King Kong stuff, I believe. They have rights from whoever’s estate. The rights to King Kong are absurdly complicated and hilarious. Basically, Merian C. Cooper came up with Kong and commissioned a novelization to shop around Hollywood, eventually convincing RKO Pictures to make it. Years later RKO starts licensing Kong to Toho for a Godzilla crossover and Cooper takes them to court. This leads to RKO keeping the film rights, but the Cooper estate has the rights to the book. When RKO starts sinking, they allow Universal to produce a film based on the original King Kong film. This leads to a second wave of court cases: first between Universal and Dino de Laurentiis, who seperately bought the rights from RKO, and then between Universal and Cooper, who claimed that RKO's license was build upon an agreement he made with RKO and not Universal. Amidst this clusterfuck, Universal discovers that the copyright on the novelization has already expired and it has entered the public domain. This will later come back to bite them in the rear end during a court case with Nintendo over Donkey Kong, but at this point the Cooper estate owns the character King Kong, RKO owns the original film and de Laurentiis holds the rights for a remake. That leaves Universal free to come up with its own interpretation of the original novel. They license the character rights from Cooper and don't do anything substantial with it for rougly thirty years, when they produce the Peter Jackson film. In the meantime, they try to take Nintendo to court over Donkey Kong and get slammed hard because they drat well knew they couldn't claim ownership over a property that they themselves proved was public domain a few years earlier. So now there's at least three King Kongs: 1) The original novelization, which is public domain 2) The rights to the film property, including a lot of character rights, are owned by Universal (and leased to Legendary)* 3) The character rights to Kong himself, which are licensed through the Cooper estate The Cooper estate, meanwhile, has been publishing its own series of (print) publications that follow Kong on Skull Island but don't include any other characters or plots from the original film. This is done through a partnership with DeVito Artworks, who made a bunch of comics, books and cartoons, including one made for Disney+. Some of them are funny and insane, most of it is pretty bad. And that's the license that GameMill gets to use. I probably hosed up a few of the details above, and there's about a hundred more weird loopholes and clauses, but this is why it's waaaay easier to just use a big ape named Kong rather than trying to get Godzilla or something. *Except for certain markets, where it is owned by Warner, but that's a whole other story

If it was $10 and featured more cutscenes of jpegs splicd with models, like the detailed grossout closeups from nick toons, or Jerry Anderson puppets cutting to a human hand in closeup, it would be a perfect shitpost of a game. It would also be entirely in spirit of rubber suit monster fights shot on a budget of whatever was in the couch cushions.

With the main game executable being monke.exe, a shove-it-out-the-door shitpost of a game seems more or less accurate?
