There, the teeming masses of the weak, the unskilled, the noob, the scrub… Like mindless sheep they played their Final Fantasy’s, and their Halo’s, and their Zelda’s. For a time, they found many of their desires fulfilled. Wonderful graphics, sound and (some would say) game play continued to meet their every lowering standards, and to these poor unenlightened souls all was good.
But something was missing. These creatures, all willing to squawk, mouths agape, waiting and crying out for the mighty Companies to vomit sustenance… These creatures didn’t know it, but in their very hearts they longed for something more. A certain, secret need was left unmet. Though few dared speak it, all knew it.
They needed to be challenged! As it stood, games failed to test the worthiness of their players. All could play, that was true… but with such games none could excel! Glory was an impossibility because it was, technically, and inevitability.
It seemed hopeless. But when it seemed that games would never satiate that hidden need, when the desire for truly won Victory was at it’s most needed… a Savior came.
The world needed IWBTG, and Kayin brought it to them. Though there would be those that oppose it, those that continue to stand aghast at the prospect that games might finally be what they should be, what they always should have been… they would know that the Truth had come. They would either test their mettle or, in failing, vindicate at last the sheer worthlessness of their existence.
IWBTG is ready for you, but are The People ready for IWBTG? Time will tell, as the men, The Guy(s) are separated from those weaklings that continue to suckle the bitter milk of modern gaming.
…
I'm very proud of Kayin for seeing this most noble project through to its conclusion. God knows how many pet projects I've been a part of that died far, far before anything resembling an entire legitimate game had been created. I think IWBTG is the first step on a long, arduous, yet enjoyable road of creation that will likely become more than a simple hobby.
Way to fucking go!
It’s crazy to think that this project is less than a year old. I fondly remember the initial stages of design, where my frustration was not a side effect, but a goal. I remember testing Tyson out on during my break… it’s amazing to see how far it’s come since then.
