This game was made in Adobe Flash as part of the 2022 Flash Forward Jam. It all started with a drawing. Sam (@polliwopple) was doodling and came up with this hotdog and popcorn, inspired by those old movie theater intermission animations, and DEMANDED that Josh (@PsychoGoldfish) make it into a game. Despite many attempted bribes, and threats, Josh refused to partake in such juvenile tomfoolery. Some time later, in Josh's private Discord group, @Jacob and Sam developed some weird toe sucking fetish (they claim it's just an inside joke, but I dunno). This is surprisingly relevant to the development of this game. Eventually, Flash Forward Jam 2022 was announced, and Josh had literally no better ideas, so he caved and lowered himself to take on the task of making Sam's stupid sausage game idea. Sam's full idea: "I dunno, he's a hotdog that's trying to escape the movie theater or something." So Josh started coming up with some puzzle ideas, and he and Sam would discuss them and find jokes to make them work. What started out as a cute and cuddly world with a hotdog doing helpful quests for popcorns slowly began to take a dark turn. All the jokes ended up with characters dying, being dismembered, and all sorts of awful things that made this depraved group of developers laugh. Then we started talking about sound design, and how cool it would be if an actual fake movie was playing the whole time, rather than traditional BG music. It didn't take long for Jacob to step in with some sample ideas, that WERE ALL ABOUT FUCKING TOES! (I told you!). For real... if you beat the game, you can continue, and walk to the parking lot and just listen to all the toe stuff after the intermission and movie trailer stuff is over. With the core idea of cute characters, dark story puzzles, and weird toe stuff in place, we quickly banged out this game (just kidding, it took like 3 months, and a lot of therapy). |
