“This was a fun little game, but now it’s back to working on real projects,” the creative-duo thought after creating Bendy And The Ink Machine in five days. “If the Meatly and I really wanted to, we could be millionaires chilling on our yachts, but we want to make something cool.” In February of 2017, Mood and his partner first posted Bendy And The Ink Machine to Gamejolt, a hub for fans to find new indie games. Somehow, your creations are coming to life, including Bendy, a demonic parody of cartoons in the early 1920s. The plot is basic: you play as Henry, a former animator who explores the studio after being away for 30 years. “It’s an episodic, first-person puzzle action horror game,” Mood told Player.One over the phone. Created by developers Meatly and Mike Mood, the game’s been downloaded more than 750,000 times and has over 1.5 million different fan made videos on YouTube. Virality cannot be premeditated it is impossible to guess what the internet hivemind will latch onto next.īendy And The Ink Machine managed to break through, becoming one of the most successful games of 2017. Everyone is desperate to get their shot at the top, but only a rare few succeed. Small children opening boxes of toys make more money than I’ll ever see in a lifetime. Channels of former Vine stars garner millions of subscribers in a couple of months. The video has a total of 85,512,443 views and I have a feeling most viewers are in elementary school.Thanks to YouTube, anyone with an idea and access to the internet can become a superstar. It brings chills down my spine to listen to how much work and dedication people put into these but with such a weak payoff. What fuels my decision more is girls dancing and Talking Ben singing to this awful song. An electric swing song made by DAGames and is… Well, I really really really really really don’t like it. So why did Bendy become one of the most iconic horror villains in modern gaming? Some may like it for the creative art style, but when I look up “Bendy and the Ink Machine” the main reason for popularity becomes clear to me: Build our Machine. Also, there’s a cool guy named the projectionist. He dies and not inky Alice stabs inky Alice and chapter five will most likely include a battle with inky bendy. So you do stuff for her and then she takes Boris and she makes him a war machine and you fight in a “Disney’s Haunted Mansion” like-ride. He explores the studios with you and you both meet Alice and she wants to kill Boris to use his body parts to make her badly rendered humanoid body parts prettier. So chapter two ends off with a cultist being defeated by Boris and him taking you to a safe house.
Anyway for the rest of the game stuff happens and people die and not die. Also, his friend is a cultist that conducts rituals on cartoon characters. He gets calls from his friend telling him what to do and turns on a machine that makes inky creatures based off of characters from Henry’s old cartoon. It involved you, Henry, an old animator coming back to his old studio 30 years later. It was a 3d horror game that was inspired off of the old 1930 cartoon graphics. A game that TheMeatly was messing around with and Joey Drew Studios Inc. But where is it now? What happened to it? What’s the deal with Bendy and the Ink Machine? It became so popular at one point in fact, that it was one of the top horror games. They combine this eerie style with the horror game genre, then it’s popularity boosted.
If you are unaware, it goes by different names such as: “The Scary Cuphead”, “3d Cuphead”, “The Original Cuphead” and my favorite “Mickey Mouse but my Mom Won’t Let Me Watch It.” It’s a game that takes 3d graphics and combines them with old cartoon styles that only the 1930’s could provide. Bendy and the Ink Machine was a strange game made by Joey Drew Studios Inc.
