Formed in 1997, it consists of Isam Bachiri (born in Denmark and of Moroccan background), Waqas Ali Qadri (born in Denmark and of Pakistani background), and Lenny Martinez (born in Honduras). All three members are religious, with Isam and Waqas being devout Muslims, and Lenny being a catholic.

Their R&B/Hip-hop/Rap/soul music takes influences from their various backgrounds (Arab, Pakistani, and Latin music), and although their songs are primarily in English, they usually feature lyrics in Spanish, Urdu, Arabic, and Danish. All these influences make the music of Outlandish somewhat unique and this is easy to notice from the variety of genres covered in their albums. Outlandish often include themes about Islam and contemporary issues facing young Muslims in the west in their music, and sometimes their songs define a nasheed-like unique genre.

So far they have produced four albums: Outland's Official (2000), Bread & Barrels of Water (2003), Beats, Rhymes & Life (2004) and Closer Than Veins (2005).

Last November 2006 Outlandish won the MTV EMAs as a best danish act of the year, the same month as the creation of their new fan-site Elmoro4Life.com

My favorite pieces of plastiboo's art is something that resembles an exploration game similar to Tail of the Sun. A cutesy little creature standing an island's beach, and staring into the ocean.
Down into the eyes of an unknowably large corpse, rendered in detail that is at once realistic, yet still fitting the style of the environment.
And within the game's UI, is a note that this landmark is called (If I remember correctly) "Grave of the Drowned Giant."
It's so haunting because it reminds me of just, how mysterious and dread-inducing wandering around in the world in general can be when you see a missing persons report in the news and hear their last known location was within that area.

How many times have we walked past the site of someone's death, and never known?

All that being said, consider the message at the end of this video heard.

God, it has been a while since a creepypasta legitimatedly made me feel so uncomfortable, especially on the part where Evelyn tries to explain away the abuse she recieved as somehow being her fault and tries to salvage the relationship despite how abusive it is.
I also like how it avoids the usual generic "oooohhhhh the game misteriously appeared out of thin airrrr" and instead opts for the way creepier idea that some anonimous weirdo thought the game was hot as hell and that some other anonymous asshole thought it would be funny to trick some kids sites into hosting the game in hopes of traumatizing some children.

I believe the reason horror lends so well with fake video games, is that you can truly feel alone. You're experiencing a game that nobody has heard of, nor can anybody play. You're only getting glimpses of it, and most of it has to live in your own imagination. Nobody gets to, or is able to, step in to hold your hand. No publisher is there to regulate what can happen, and no budget can dictate the scope of what is possible. I believe that, especially in the case of the guide books, it is the best medium to utilize the capabilities of the mind's imagination.

Fun fact, Resident Evil's Rebecca's live-actress became a fan-favorite. She was I believe a 21 year old girl from Ukraine who wanted to become a photo-model. Her agency of course worked these young models to the bone, shifting them allover the world to do quick and dirty photoshoots and then moving on the next. The model had no clue what the live-action clip was meant for, as she was just told what to do and that was kinda that. She didn't even know that the clip was for a video-game that would make her a fan-favorite for almost two decades. She has no interest in video-games at all.
She was found back about five years ago and interviewed about her involvement with Resident Evil.

As someone that's been making games solo as a hobby for over a decade, I've noticed that the "code" bit is the hardest by FAR. Graphic assets and music won't randomly stop working after five months because you moved something around in a completely different part of the project. Also, game balance is a whole different can of worms. Just because something works as intended doesn't mean it feels fun, is easy to communicate to a player, etc.
Combined, these things make me see the appeal in fake games at least - you get to skip the most tedious parts of dreaming up a game.

One example of fake video games that I find both interesting and infuriating is those fake ads for a mobile game, the ones that play out like Pokemon horror games, where there are like hundreds of ads for this one game that have different art styles but are all vaguely connected. It looks like such a good game, and it's attached to a completely different, mindblowingly disappointing product, that it just makes one wonder "Why didn't you make THIS game?! Why did you make a bunch of ads for a game that doesn't exist, and attach them to a completely different game that does??"

The concept of fake video games seems so strange, but makes perfect sense because unlike other forms of media, making a good video game actually requires you to have multiple unrelated skills. If you want to make a book or a song etc, there is only ONE skills you need to make that happen. If you want to make a video game, you need to be good at writing, art, programming, music etc etc etc. There are plenty of people who absolutely have the skill set to be a really good comic book artist or something but their IDEA isn't a comic book or a web toon, it is a video game.

These fake games are a completely valid way of art expression, but it's such a shame that a lot of excellent videogames never get made because this over-exagerated understanding of videogame development that is repeated constantly across the internet, scaring off aspiring artists. Finishing a videogame is not fast or easy, but is not a life draining endeavor that only a select few can undergo. I understand they say this as a way to pay respect to the work and effort of a field they don't fully understand, but making a game on your free time is not the same as a professional indie/AAA development that takes multiple people. If you love videogames so much that you get a nostalgic feeling with this "fake games", and have a video game idea that you would really like: you can do it, and it's now more accessible than ever before.

@@lvl.2greyrat849 Yes I tottaly agree with you that you can make a game in your free time. But it misses the point. Many of the creators want to create games that are way out of the scope of "game you make on the side". At the bare minimum they would be games at the scale of professional indi dev which demands the sacrifice of many years of work and the years of other people on the team. And that is not even talking about the restrictions of the gaming market that you need to take into considerations when making a serious game.

Capitalism doesn't offer a way for small creators to acheive their dreams and so they are forced to fake it into existance. I want so many of these fake games to be made into real games but instead we are fed the same crap over and over. Then some morron walts in and tells everyone that video games acheived their final form because technology has reached a point where any upgrade is insignificant. What prevents us from making fresh new games is not the technology but how our society is organised. To achieve the dream of turning those fake games into free games, the workers need to take control of the video game companies and run it themselfs not for the quest of profit but for the quest of new and innovative games.

As far as I'm concerned, your time wasn't wasted making this video. I am not into horror games, but I still made it through a two hour essay which, towards the end, was largely about horror games that don't actually exist as games. I wish I could talk this passionately about anything for this long, and still get someone who is mostly uninterested in the genre to listen through it all!
I once made a "trilogy" of cover art for a GTA parody, proper high-effort memes. I've also done at least two trailer recreations for actual games. Thanks to your video, now I know that if I want to be fancy, instead of calling them shitposts, I can instead say that they are "secondary media for fake games" or "fake secondary media for a game," accordingly.

I like this idea of "Fake Video Games" as an intricate side-evolution of fan fiction with a McLuhanist deception. You present a fragmentary film that includes symbols, shapes and pieces that manage to deceives the audience into associating interaction within it, and in the process manages to make it more exciting. That's so fascinating.

@Gadget-Walkmen

4d↑11

It doesn't have to AT ALL be "fan fiction" based in the slightest, it can just be a video game concept art for a whole new IP that you have planned and you have it made into conceptual work in ANY form to illustrations, animations, 3D models, sketches that can present literally ANY game that you want to make in the production line-work that you have planned that's never really going to be turned into a full on game. It's just something that people do for fun, and it doesn't have to be for video games either, it can be concept work for comics/manga, movies, animated movies, and so forth. Anything really without having to entirely make a complete final product of it all.

Imo is goes beyond nostalgia, a lot of fake videogame art are the games we WANT to play made by people who love games, rather than the corporatized, overly-monetized, sometimes unfinished stuff created by mandate of some wall street group of execs solely to make as much money as possible for them. To push a brand. To renew a copyright.

Bandai could make a dark soulds-like Demon Sayer game. But that would be a niche within a niche. It's far easier and more profitable to make the same arena fighter they've been making for 15 years with a Demon Slayer coat of paint on it and lots of DLC.

I work for a company that creates team building events for corporate retreats. Recently, we were executing an event in which we have an artist guide attendees through creating an art piece together. The attendees work for a financial firm and after the introduction, they were discussing amongst themselves their experiences and relationships with art and creativity. A couple of the attendees talked about how they had attended art school and what they studied during those times and I overhead their conversations. One person was expressing what they had learned and what those experiences meant to them and they concluded with "But of course, I had to find a job that would allow me to support myself, which is how I ended up at this financial firm." It was a depressing reminder that in our capitalistic society, creativity and artistic expression are viewed more as hobbies and frivolous pursuits rather than an identity and career upon which a person can support themselves.

So no, you didn't waste your life making this video, and neither did any of the creators whose work you covered.

@AlexReynard

"It was a depressing reminder that in our capitalistic society, creativity and artistic expression are viewed more as hobbies and frivolous pursuits rather than an identity and career upon which a person can support themselves."

This has nothing to do with "a capitalistic society". It has to do with the fact that, lots of people would rather do something fulfilling for themselves, rather than something that directly benefits others. Society doesn't reward this, because if everyone is that selfish, then society doesn't exist. Capitalism is about the only type of system that allows people to support themselves with art in the first place (Unless you want to make nothing but state-directed propaganda).

Many people want to create art. There is more supply than demand. So only the people that can produce art that people want to pay for get paid for it. There is nothing unfair about this. Same as, there are lots of people who want to play pro sports. Only a few people are good enough to play pro sports. The rest can't, because no one is obligated to spend money to see someone who's not the best. That's not only not unfair, it's far less unfair than brutal, uncaring nature. With capitalism, you don't get paid. With nature, you get eaten alive and die. With capitalism, SOME people can be paid to make art; and "some" is a bigger number than "none".

@maplebard1684

Two things that I thought of while I was watching this video:
1. I think Vermis's world would be very fun to adapt into a tabletop RPG, hitting a lot of the same stylistic notes as Arc: A Doom RPG. Despair and hope. Loneliness and togetherness. Viscera and love. I think that a bunch of playbooks from that world working together to stop an apocalypse of a world that's already so broken despite not knowing what they are would be affecting, and I think I might do this at some point.
2. Something I think is a lot like "fake" video games is the concept of the short story. Some short stories in literature are meant to convey a complete story, but some provide more an encapsulation of a time period, the mood of a scene, or tell more through implication than through actual text. Having something similar for video games that don't require the same time commitment as a full game is really compelling.

Solid video, and please don't worry about your topics being too niche or obscure. I became a casual wrestling fan through your videos, and now, I might become a fake video game fan through this one.

Don't ever question the validity of your videos, you have no idea the impact you make on those of us that don't have the time to deep dive to find cool stuff but are in desperate need for unique art to help us through tough times. I'm all the way on the west coast USA and because of your video I just ordered Vermis 1 and 2!

@Yutakichan

This was ABSOLUTELY delightful, thank you so much for this!
Honestly the art of fake video games holds such an allure that even if it is niche I think it is still for most people. It is just something that hasn't been discovered yet by many. I can only hope more worlds rise from your encouragement. Thank you for the video and that message at the end, it was wonderful.

Thank you for putting DreamBound as an example for your documentary! I feel honored that it was featured in this amazing video :D
I've never come across anyone explaining and analyzing this trend of doing fake video games, and I'm glad you did it that well!
This was so interesting and informative, and I'm so happy to discover all of these projects I would have never known without you, they are all very inspiring!

What I love about this stuff is that we the audience don't get all the pieces. Watching this video, I'm reminded of staying up later than my bed time to catch episodes of Inuyasha. I had no clue what was going on, I could only catch the occasional episode. But watching it as a kid was genuinely frightening and enthralling, I desperately wanted to know what was going on but because I was only given scraps of the story and characters I had to use my imagination to fill in the blanks. Another great video from the literal best to do it on the site. I love you.

I love how a pattern in my life has developed, where either me or eyepatchwolf find a super interesting and unique game/piece of media/rabbit hole almost at the same time. It happened recently with fear and hunger, now with Vermis, which a seller at a fair really wanted me to have it (since I bought another product of theirs, Unholy Grotto, with a somewhat similar concept), to the point of him meeting me outside the venue to GIFT it to me. This happen literally a couple of day before this video was posted and I'm so stoked to read it asap ❤

There's a Japanese phrase, "mono no aware," the basic idea being an awareness of impermanence, and the gentle sadness of the passing of the things that once brought you a familiar comfort, if not outright joy. And a lot of these, especially the ones that tug at the strings of nostalgia and childhood, seem to be (to me, at least) different expressions of this concept. This was a joy to watch. Thank you.

For people who enjoyed this video I can't recommend the video "a normal creepypasta retrospective" on the channel "hazel" enough. It's a perfect example of a lot of what is talked about in this video.

Edit: Changed representation to example for clarification

I remember that! Back in the day I was too much of a scaredy-cat to actually read creepypastas so I just accepted the entire video as objective truth and got completely mindblown by the big reveal. Probably not the intended effect but it was still a fun ride.

Fantastic stuff, as always. Vermis was one of my favorite discoveries of last year and it's so cool to see it and the overall concept covered in this way. I've come to realize that evocative writing and art is so good, stuff that doesn't need to describe every detail to feel rich with meaning, and all of this is a goldmine for that feeling

@@lavalambchops Ironically, sprites had more detail to them. They had a texture to each of the different pokemon through use of the limited palates and required more consideration of said color. Now they all have this sanitized plastic look to them, probably because its easier to recreate as figures that look look like the models they sell.

I actually have my own world that I have been building for 7 years but never have known how to capture it. This medium of fake videogames is so inspiring as a way to document niche elements and various concepts and such - thank you for bringing it to my attention

Whatchu mean your own world? For like a video game or something? Thats tight! Whats it like?

@GeezusMcGandhi

@@billblaski9523 It’s not for anything - I just create it because I like it. It’s a continent about the size of Russia called Kotharyd. Eventually I started running D&D in my world but only after it already existed for 5 years, and if I could never play D&D there again I’d still build it.

The west coast is a green and mountainous land comprised of 5 duchies, previously the Kingdom of Vestrn, which fell to the Empire of Shu on the east coast and the archipelago beyond. The majority of Kotharyd is a massive desert, the Great Desert of Wei, and dividing it in two is a collosal ancient wall which now houses the city of Myridian.

So the tension of the setting is that the duchies of Vestrn are by law satélite states of the Empire of Shu, yet they are far away and separated - so who is going to be the first to rebel. And the nomads of the dessert, the Bahaari, are mistreated by both sides, yet absolutely vital for either side to cross the desert. There is also Myridian kind of existing as a city-state as it’s the only go-between from the east to west

This was wonderful, I love this genre. Mystery Flesh Pit National Park isn't a fake video game, but it has the same energy and is one of my favorite pieces of media ever. It weaves a narrative along the edges of possibility and implication, telling a story through the blanks left between the words and pictures. And all of these do the exact same thing.
Thank you for making this video diving into even more of this type of content for me to experience.

@angelthingjenny

Honestly, this one was an interesting watch to me, because it's the first time you've made a video and I wasn't immediately sold on the tale you were spinning. This is largely because honestly, to me, the "mechanical context" thing really doesn't win me over very easily on its own; I've become too obsessed with the minor details for my brain to be captivated by just menus or HUD elements. That said, I'm glad I stuck around regardless, because the conclusions you arrive at, the incredible pieces you mention throughout, and honestly even the enlighteningly simple response from lumpytouch, are all really interesting things to me. I like this as a format a lot more now than I did at the opening when the examples were just "HUD elements on a piece of art". There's a lot of thought into these. Appreciate you making it.

As a video game developer myself, the first 17mins of this video is just filling my mind with so much ideas

@dabillyk

As a child i didnt really have access to zelda games, but i was obsessed wit the series. I loved the world building, the reoccurring characters in each game and the aesthetics. I remember i begged my pops to purchase me hyrule historia and he actually did 😂. For hours id flip through the pages looking at concept art and the context behind certain ideas conveyed in the games. I didnt know much about most games, but i would piece together certain scenarios from the context given. I really loved doing this and it sparked a passion that stuck with me creatively. I really didnt know how much i loved it until i experienced the same feeling being introduced to vermis and the concept being explored. I love this so much man it really reconnects me to a part of myself i missed.
