hi

Hello!

[sirbedlam]

@yanderedev As an independent game developer, I feel like this statement is worthy of being engraved on a plaque somewhere.

[sirbedlam]

This scene is subject to change a bit, so right now it’s kind of a rough draft. I need to work a little more on Diane.

Heyo, gave your demo of Captured a shot and I was left pleasantly surprised! The idea is overall very intriguing and I wish to see you expand upon this. You've showed plenty of creativity with this demo alone, let alone your past games; Black Rose especially. You're a gifted developer and your ideas of horror are in the right place. I know dealing with personal issues is VERY challenging and how they can impair your progress overall. Depression is difficult, but not unbeatable. Keep at it!

I’m glad you like my work, and thank you for the words of encouragement!

Can we help Mark see something?

Mark has mentioned that there will be a charity live stream soon, but he doesnt know for what yet.

My father has had a debilitating disease for 11 years now: Multiple Sclerosis. He is on ventilator, trachea, oxygen and feeding tube, plus a slew of other machines he needs to ensure his health. I was 5 when he was diagnosed, so I’ve never known him when he was healthy.

He hasn’t walked in seven years and likely never will again. As of 2017, there is no working and/or available cure for MS.

So, I would really appreciate if Mark’s next charity live stream could go to some kind of Multiple Sclerosis research? Yes, those other causes are noble, but I’d really love to see this disease get some representation, as it’s basically been swept under the rug. In my 16 years, I’ve read exactly one article about it in the normal media, and I know no one in my entire circle of people I’ve met who even knows it’s a disease.

Mark has greatly helped me cope with my dad’s illness, and I’d really love to see it recognized by someone who has a big following, maybe it could kick start some kind of research? Maybe I’m overly hopeful, but this has been my dream since 2014.

@markiplier I’d really love it if you considered.

Other Markiplites, could you maybe reblog this into the markiplier tag so he could see this? I’d appreciate any help you could give.

This room has more than just one reference in it. (This is already live, BTW. The demo update was released just around Christmas.)

[sirbedlam]

Dude you got a lot of talent there and don't let anyone say otherwise, not even yourself 😤. You've got this!

Thank you, I really do appreciate that.

...Okay, I’ve got this!!

[sirbedlam]

Thank you for making those games, and please, stick with developing more! I'm lucky that I don't struggle with the same things that you and many others do, but that doesn't make me any less glad that you've toughed it out. Keep up the great work! <3

Thank you! I really appreciate words of encouragement like these. :D

[sirbedlam]

Hey! Found you when Markiplier responded to your message. Wanted to say for how much Black Rose scared the bejeebus out of me [I have a playlist on my channel] but it's great! I deal with the same problems you do; Don't EVER forget how strong you are

Thank you! That’s very sweet of you. :)

[sirbedlam]

even though i'm a random anonymous on tumblr, i wish you nothing but the best. keep on moving, you're absolutely amazing.

Thank you. Really, thank you. Even just simple messages like these from anonymous people help me keep moving.

Please help Mark see this...

Hi, Mark. I’m the developer of “Black Rose” “Captured”, and “Otherworld Hospital”, and I’ve been a long-time subscriber and fan of you, ever since your early days of ’Let’s Playing’. You help me with my depression, and you help me feel like I have friends, even though I’ve never actually met you or the gang (I’d be too nervous to, anyway). You help me feel like I’m somewhat normal. Even though I just sit here and cry sometimes, you always make me laugh.

Seeing you play my games helps motivate me to keep developing them and get better at it, as becoming a successful, appreciated game developer has been my entire life dream since I was very young. It’s been a long journey or depression, anxiety, devastation, humiliation, isolation, lack of motivation, and sadness, but you help me press on.

I can only hope that maybe, possibly, if I get lucky, you just might see this. I’m getting emotional now even just typing this out, it’s just that you’ve helped me so much in ways that many people can’t see or understand.

So, thank you. Even though it's hard, I will keep trying the best I can.

[sirbedlam]

Hello Sir! :D I just wanted to say I love your game, Captured! It's so spooky and I adore it. I did have a question though, which has been bugging me. XD On the menu screen of the game... that music. I'm almost positive I've heard it before and I've been driving myself crazy with trying to figure out what game (if any) I've heard it used in before. Do you have any ideas on it? Maybe I'm just crazy. XD Thank you for your time!

Thank you!! As for the menu music, one other person has asked the same question. The track is titled “Nightshade”, and can be found here:

https://us.audionetwork.com/browse/m/track/nightshade_43280?st=quicksearch&ref=nightshade

The reverb you hear in the game is not in the original track, but is added by the game engine.

Thanks again for the kind words!

[sirbedlam]

Hey Man!!! I saw your work!!! Its Absolutely Amazing!!! Would you be Willing to help me and my company with our horror game!!!

Sorry for the delayed response, I can’t remember seeing this before, so I don’t know how long it’s been.

Thank you! As for teaming up, I don’t do well with collaborations, and struggle a lot even just getting my own work done, so I’m afraid I wouldn’t be much help. But thank you nonetheless for choosing to ask me. Good luck with your game!

[sirbedlam]

Hi Sir Bedlam! I wanted to tell you how much I love your game Black Rose. I can honestly say it's the best game I have ever played. It's extremely scary, and the entire story was brilliantly written. In fact, Myrtle and Sullivan are now my OTP (one true pairing)! :) I have to ask you, would you mind telling me some of what their romance has been like since they were reunited? I would love that! You are the best! :)

Thank you!! I’m very flattered, and I’m happy you liked it so much! :D

As for their relationship on the other side, well, I haven’t really thought about that, but I can tell you that they’re together, and they once again share the real love that they shared when they were children. No more heartbreak or suffering. :)

[sirbedlam]

What inspires you most to make horror games like Black Rose (it was soooo good) and Captured?

Well thanks! My main inspiration for developing horror games came from the Fatal Frame series. Growing up, that’s where I set my lifetime goal of becoming a recognized horror game developer.

As for Captured specifically, the inspiration for that came from both Amnesia: Justine, and part of a future game I’ve been planning for years. Later in development, the “Saw” movies inspired the idea to add other victims to the game, which you have the choice of saving. Originally, there were no other victims, just you and Damien.
