So little blog update but this may no longer be a GDD, might become an animation instead

[randallppt]

Working on the outline right now, gathering ideas for it. Then, I'm gonna make it into a script, then I'm gonna finish the character designs, then I'm gonna work on an animatic. This'll probably take a while but I have a vision now.

Mommy's Tea Party

This scene was inspired by the wonderful art of @sketchtastrophee, go follow them!! Their stuff is iconic and I would've never thought of this without them.

But with that said, hi again! Today I will present you with a scene from the AU

as I didn't create the art, here is some official concept art of Mommy

Let's set the scene:

PJ Pug-a-Pillar is hot on your tail, pitter-pattering across Statues to get you, but your escape is unavoidable. You manage to swing into the game's control room and from there, worm your way out into the wider factory. Mommy curses your name, but you're able to put some distance between you and her. A couple puzzles later, you might be home free.

Then, disaster strikes during your escape. You're crawling through the vents again when one gives way, and when you try to climb back up, a hand flies out of the darkness, grabbing you!

You wake up and without a second to process where you are, you hear her voice again.

"Uh oh, someone's stirring." She says, "Mommy was so worried about you. I thought you'd run away! But Mommy found you just in the nick of time."

You get the chance to assess your situation. You're webbed up at a table, a table with tea cups, at the opposite end of which is the pink spider herself. The other guests are the toys you've bested, Bunzo, Mini-Huggies, PJ, but they've all been torn to shreds and now lay inert. All except one, Poppy, who sits right by you and has been looking to you for reassurance since you woke up.

Mommy continues, "Now, you get to be here forever, just like everyone else."

CRASH

Mommy and Poppy look in the direction of the noise, both clearly startled, then to each other. They know who that is, the only "toy" big enough to make such a great sound. Then, like a switch is being flipped inside her brain, Mommy goes back to her loving persona.

"Oh, it appears this party has earned the attention of one very special guest." She calls out, "Who is it?"

He doesn't respond. Another crash comes from the door, as he slips his long pointy fingers under it, and begins to pry. He rips the door to shreds and pokes his hand through.

Experiment 1006 - The Prototype

"My lord! What a surprise." Mommy's voice cracks, "It's been a very long time since you paid your mommy a visit."

"HAND HER OVER. THE INTRUDER AS WELL."

"Oh, but your wonder, I can make a compelling case for why I should keep them both," Mommy stammers, "You're only going to keep Poppy in the box, well I'm right here, please..."

"NOW."

They begin to bicker. The bickering soon turns to fighting. This creature is very violent, he doesn't accept even the mildest of dissent, but right now you can't concern yourself with that, this is your opening. You struggle but are able to break the webs, and as they continue to fight nearby, you free Poppy.

The two of you high tale it out of there. The fight between the monsters has escalated, he drew blood. The last thing you ever hear of Mommy, is her gut wrenching screams, as she is dragged away for an unknown purpose. Yet again, you can't concern yourself with that. He is lurking now, you need to get yourself and Poppy to the train, and you do.

Poppy puts in the code for you. The train leaves the station. You're safe. You're away from him. For now.

The Phone System

Acquired very early in the game, the phone grants to the Player the ability to communicate with their allies! Across the game, players may find themselves stumped on particular obstacles and puzzles. The phone provides a solution, simply ring up a friend and they may give you a hint! Or just chat a bit, depends on their mood.

Above is a mock up of the number selection screen. Pressing Q will pull this up, at which point players may either click on the faces or corresponding numbers of the character they wish to talk to, or may press the corresponding key on their keyboard.

Some allies are more useful depending on the situation. Need to solve a puzzle? Ask Ollie! Need to skip a gap? Doey has your back! Sometimes you might even drop in while your friends are talking with each other, like at any moment you could interrupt a conversation between Doey and DogDay.

This system is being implemented to help players stuck in the game, while also opening the door for you to interact with your bestest friends a little more whenever they aren't immediately on screen.

I just want to say before I really post anything that my goal with this isn't to one up the official series, or reconstruct an "original" version, I'm simply doing this for myself and making changes that I think are interesting and fun, purely to have fun.

WELCOME ONE AND ALL

To the most spectacular, immaculate, well-orchestrated Poppy Playtime remake on all of Tumblr!

Cutting out the bravado, hi, my name is Randall, and welcome to the blog. This is for a project called The Most Incredible Doll In The World, and while I know it's a long winded title, there is reason. I picked it so that it would be easy to distinguish between Poppy Playtime and the actual project, while still making it clear which special little dolly the project and story was all about. It also has a nice bit of grandeur I feel.

So, my ultimate goal with this project is many-fold. I want to touch up the game's tone and atmosphere, I want to tighten up the pacing, I want to alter the cast, I want to explore some themes in greater detail, I want to place with the world a bit, I want I want I want, there's a lot of I want but soon there will be lots of I did.

I'll make sure to keep this blog updated semi-frequently with new details about the project, my ideas and how I'd go about implementing them. I'll also be open to feedback from people, though do be aware this is still my project at the end of the day, but I want people to still enjoy it even if they don't agree with some of my changes or storytelling choices.

Thank you for your time, I hope we have fun above all else.
