ARCHGATE BENDY TOONS

Various steam keys posted on the twitter (doubt any aren't already used)

B:SOTM gave us new updates ?? Included a lot of Bendy gloves on the ground and two ink models from Bendy Nightmare Run. So I guess they're gonna be canon ? Maybe ?

B:SOTM also included a sign saying "Sometimes dreams shatter." Ok... a bit bleak but I'm sure it's for lore right ?

Bendy: The Cage removed from copyright ? Replaced with "Bendy Cartoons" What's happening here ?

And... hey wait a minute-

Bendy: The Cage has been shelved. On 414 day.

I've got some things to say.

Critiques under cut.

Today felt like a lot and nothing as a whole. Lots of things announced and posted but it's mostly just. The same game getting new digital and physical releases, steam keys so around 100 fans get free games, and not much else.

The cartoons seem promising !! The shirt designs seem pretty good, unlike the Halloween ones we got so I'd say that's an improvement. However...

Bendy: The Cage has been shelved.

This feels like a massive insult to fans. Hyping the game up and advertising it to be something so big, only to, on THE DAY dedicated to celebrating Bendy as a franchise, meant to be POSITIVE, ruining it all by saying "hey sorry the game you ALL were looking forward to is being shelved in favour of others :)". feels like one Hell of a way to lose trust in your fans AND like an awful marketing decision. Couldn't you have announced it even a DAY later ?

Despite it all ? I feel pretty optimistic about it. I'm excited for B3ndy to be good and to use the mechanics and story they created for The Cage, and I'm sure it'll get released One Day. The main issue comes from the fact that JDS ALREADY has a poor reputation with how long BATDR took to release and how long we've waited for Lone Wolf despite it being "set to release" from January-March which I'm sure you can tell have already long passed.

Curious to see what others think of all this. Hope you all had a nice 414 despite the whole Cage thing.

Thinking about Ink Demon biology again, decided to do a little break down. To be clear, there are NOT hard lines in my eyes, the stages are more lile species im evolution. Each second the Ink Demon is unique, it just takes a long time for him fo evolve as he wants.

Start: moldless ink, semi aware. Prior to the sillyvision process.

Birth/stage 1: eyeless smiling humanoid, most likely chubbier at first before being locked up and starved. This is most likely as seen in BatIM, a shambling, supernaturally strong creature. His horns haven't fully formed, and in some spots like his stumpy foot it's still soft and saggy.

Stage 2: never physically seen, this is the hypothetical stage between BatIM and BatDR. His fingers have elongated, two fingers have started to or fully combined to match the four fingered glove. His horns have grown and hardened, possibly starting to bend a bit at the tip. I based this description off the painting in Wilson's mansion.

Stage 3: as seen in BatDR, the legs have drastically changed. His "skeletal" system as near definitely fully hardened, and spikes have begun to erupt from random parts of his body.

Stage 4/final: completely unseen, PURE speculation here. This would be the "Ink Demon who ignores the rules of the Cycle" Henry hinted at in DR. Other than the horns getting longer, maybe branching off like antlers because of those spikes, I don't really have any predictions. *If* we saw it, I'd hope it looks grand, with massive horns that curve into complex spirals, and spikes jotting out of its body. Throughout each stage he's mostly grown just a little bit at best, so this one would probably be around 10ft tall, not including horns.

There's your random Ink Demon post lol. Rudimentary concept for stage 4 below

If done correctly, I think this could be appropriately scary. Also as a quick note, assuming the BatDR Ink Demon was nearing the cusp of breaking the Cycles laws, for this form to be seen it should take roughly a year or a year and a half. If the Ink Demon is out of the Cycle now in some capacity, then BatIF could take place a year after BatDR so the audience can see a truly godly Ink Demon at least once, which could be big news for the potential setting of the third game. (If it's right after DR, Gent probably hasn't done much, but if it's after a year, they've probably opened up human experiments again, which means we could play as a detective and please I just want to play as a detective 💔)

Sorry for the weird yap, blep. <|:P

what’s the most random canon thing that ruins one of your HCs

mine is just that for some reason the number of fingers Sammy has changes between games?? Why??

So in batim and batds, Sammy has only four fingers on each hand, while lost one’s have five (I know sammys probably not a lost one but let me have this)

So the hc was that Sammy cut off one of his fingers to look more like the ink demon, BUT THEN FOR SOME REASON

he has five fingers in batdr? And based on the screenshots we’ve seen so far he also will have five in the cage?

I’m just going to choose to believe that it’s bc Wilson caught him before he could cut it off that cycle

but this is still such a random change why did they do that

[doxxed0367]

Ok so with the new image for the cage the chances of ink!grant appearing have rapidly decreased bc its possible that the pit is full of GENT’s reject experiments, BUT if it isnt JUST GENTs rejects then MAYBE theres STILL A CHA-

Bendy the cage shelved. We're taking it well at DCTL Redrawn Server.

Thank you for the words @r0zzk1ll
