T$Cv0 - From The Cutting Room Floor
Added 2023-11-27 04:21:46 +0000 UTCI mentioned this in my lil "Developer Commentary" video for PS AD and SS tiers haha, but yea here's the "original chapter 1" for volume 0- or, what was supposed to be. I teased stuff from this version when I made the announcement video originally. There were some redeeming qualities in it, but all in all I feel much more satisfied with the way I ended up actually taking the project- and I hope u feel the same! :)
Here's why this whole thing was cut:
1- Having 9 million pop culture references is still gay even if you make a self-aware joke about it
2- Would've only worked within the Photoshop art-style (Idk how to draw Martin Shkreli in a recognizable way haha as u can see) (also, the commentary head gimmick requires clearly defined borders for the joke to work at all)
3- Relied too much on tongue-in-cheek meta-commentary (OwO le self awarenesss owwo)
4- I would've had to keep the commentary head throughout the whole thing and that's gay
the 2nd/3rd page is kinda a mockup of what i was thinking it'd look like. I teased this in the announcement vid actually, if anyone remembers that haha
And yea that's pretty much it, anyways, enjoy what could've been!
