Festival Fury - Commentary

In this post I'll talk about the fictional and non-fictional events I portrayed in the game.

1) Wrestling competition
We start off with a hand wrestling competition with getting dunked as punishment for losing. There was no official competition at school, but there was sort of an informal one so the dudes who worked hard on their gains had a chance to show 'em off. I decided to take it to ridiculous levels and include a dunk tank. As for why I wear a panda costume... It's a secret. Nah, just kidding. Pandas are cute and they are easy to convey when you only use a limited colour palette (i.e black and white).

2) Haunted house
I mentioned it in this post but to sum it up, at some point we did have a haunted house event for a school carnival thing but some distorted individuals thought I was a mole when I snapped a pic of the haunted house layout. It was dumb. I didn't know what sort of spooks they planned to cook up so I just randomly made up some to put in the game.

3) The Ashrav convention
Of course, this is fictional. But his fangirls' fanaticism is real, VERY real. 
The concept of the S.A.P Award is that to fans, his existence is so divine that people would want an award to prove that they even knew him. These are the ranks for the S.A.P Award:
Gold: Be Ashrav's friend
Silver: Be Ashrav's acquaintance
Bronze: He knows you exist
Plastic: You existed in his vicinity
In reality I'd get the bronze award, but for for plot purposes I mistakenly get the gold one. If you genuinely want this, you're a SAP. If Ashrav had a lover, they'd get a platinum one, probably. LOL.
Ashrav being up for auction and the consequent events are crazy and even I don't know how I came up with that. But one thing I gotta clarify is that Ashrav was wearing a collar as a punk thing and not some weird pet play thing. Honest!

I didn't have any particularly fond memories of high school (it's pretty neutral) but I always think back about how much fun I had making these games. It was fun referencing real life events and adding all sorts of spice to them. Even if nobody cares or nobody gets the jokes, it'll be up for posterity and entertainment's sake.
