Humor seems so individual where with creepy or body horror type stuff it seems we have some universal buttons I can see to push.Telecanterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07238356788092725244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446461178381374626.post-90619170907810546042013-02-11T04:24:58.596-08:002013-02-11T04:24:58.596-08:00I can see the bear being used by a villain in a su...I can see the bear being used by a villain in a super hero game - a campy super hero game. This is not a bad thing at all. I certainly see the potential for creepiness, but I prefer humor over creepiness in my games.Everlosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07115735907981689436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446461178381374626.post-43565351264471740222013-02-07T07:25:32.017-08:002013-02-07T07:25:32.017-08:00Thanks, LS.

Yeah, I wanted some eeriness from the bear to come from its simple dances not being so innocent but I think if players try to "wield" it there should be a chance each time that it will turn on the tune makers demanding more sweets.Telecanterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07238356788092725244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446461178381374626.post-68822884472037462372013-02-06T08:52:41.105-08:002013-02-06T08:52:41.105-08:00I would agree that this entry felt a little less m...I would agree that this entry felt a little less menacing...until I got to the line "if you don't keep it fed with sweets it will make you dance." <br /><br />That's creepy as hell to me for some reason. Using candy to prevent horrible death is like using young children's voices in a horror movie. It's unsettling. LShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15495083228566425216noreply@blogger.com
