Oh, I completely forgot about the landshark beer. It's Jimmy Buffet's brand too! It's basically a lime flavored bud light as I recall.

Edit: The SNL skit came before the beer though.

Why??

Landshark beer: you wouldn't drink one of these to save yourself from a Landshark!

( <-- moderate prejudice against light beer)

I think Slender is fine as a henchie. If you spend all of your time worrying about what's an internet meme or if something else has something in a game that's somewhat like something in your game you'll end up spinning your wheels.

All of the originality will come out in the execution. Once Valley 2's Slender is identifiable by in-game actions and lore that set him apart from the SCP stuff the apparent similarity will not be a problem.

I'm loving these concepts as a whole too. I'm really getting excited for Valley 2.

But would you throw it at a landshark to distract it?

Hmm, that might be cruelty to animals.  But possibly.  It probably knows better than to drink it.

That response was great. And I love craft/microbrews and the like myself. I love me those beer bars with 40+ flavors on tap. No thanks to bud/miller/light/etc!


And so long as we don't have lolcat enemies I can live.

Edit: Also the "beer" might be why the animal is so angry.

I am SUPER geeking out about all the art, haha. It's shaping up really nicely!

SLENDER!!! any doubts I had about this game no longer exist.

[KingIsaacLinksr]

Yeah, expect criticism from the Internet by using Slender. Apparently he's now "owned" by the original devs that worked on the Slender game that went viral. *rollseyes*. (He isn't, but the Internet will make you think he is).

As far as I'm concerned, You'd probably get criticized no matter what. Though heck, maybe this will get your game more attention for it. Also, Land sharks? *shudder*. That's just...terrifying.

The Internet is awesome at "knowing" things and chastising others for "copying".

[x4000]

Yep, I may have to choose a different name for him, we'll see.

[keith.lamothe]

It would lower the chance of one particular form of fecal storm.  And I think that would be good.  But the internet can produce so many varieties.

[x4000]

Haha, indeed.

Originally I was going to suggest 'not' using the Slenderman name, in defference to those of course that created him, HOWEVER... due to the nature of the arg's that I have been reading up on, and the nature of the meme itself, it seems that this 'loose cultural myth of the slenderman' is being picked up and used by anyone who wants to add to the mythos and the horror fiction genre itself. And there are LOTS of people using him in their own ARG's.

Which is all my way of saying that it seems it is quite reasonable and even a very good idea to leave him in your game! 

Just my two cents.
