Not sure if this will go farther than tests, but I'm making my own little fangame! Tentatively called "Project GoldFinch", it would follow a small elsen from Zone 3, Finch, trying to escape from under the control of both Enoch and their addiction to sugar.
Here's pretty much everything I've made of this project so far. No promises I'll take it further, but I'm happy with what I've managed to make over these past few days. Please excuse the default chipsets. I just make facesprites and charsets lol
All of these are just screenshots of the files. I kinda want to keep fiddling with them, and I don't want to share files I'd be changing later. Plus I don't want people to use them since they're either mine or a friend's ocs..
Funny enough, but my first ever drawing based on Confinium was with Navigator and not the Pilot (who still is my favourite to this day ABSOLUTELY ISN'T OBVIOUS YEAH). So, this Navi drawing was made in the summer of 2018 in my first sketchbook. Damn, I was 15 at the time...
I loved every character in the game, but Pilot resonated with me more than anyone else. Maybe his character is just something that is closer to me personally. So, I liked Pilot so much that I made a felted toy after him. It's still one of my favourites (I also have felted Zacharie and Bad Batter's head, but I consider them ancient at this point, and they look like they have seen some shit) and I brought it with me to the Black Sea one time. Me and my family traveled there by the car, 3 000 km to the sea and then 3 000 km back to my hometown, so that lil' guy have seen a bunch of russian cities and beautiful landscapes on our way B)
I also made some of my drawings in not so pleasant periods of my life (specifically the two last ones). I guess I got some sense of relief from drawing certain scenes from the game, trying to put my feelings in the atmosphere of those pieces.
I still come back to the game from time to time. The first time I played Confinium was in 2018, but only a year ago I found this "Bendy and the Ink Machine" song reference when you make Pilot observe the sheeps for a couple of times. That's actually what I really like about the original OFF itself and It's fangames. You can come back to the game and still manage to find something new for yourself each time you visit it.
By the way, Penta (my fav OFF OC) was originally made to be a Confinium OC, BUT THEN SOMETHING WENT HORRIBLY WRONG and now he's a character of his own story, which I want to make real someday hopefully.
And for the last, I also still have some old cosplays on Pilot and Omni in Pony Town eheheh
So that concludes my expirience with the game and it's characters, I guess. Thank you Xin for making this amazing game. Even if it's not completed, It still brings joy and happy memories to me and a lot of people who played it. Thank you for leaving a print on my teenage years. When you ever feel down, I hope that you will remember that there are people from all around the globe that appreciate you and the things you do. You matter.
(If anyone wants to do something similar to this post, you're more than welcome! No need for tagging or anything, just make your fav creators feel appreciated by telling your own stories and some nice words to them!)
I'm happy to say that it looks like one of my new year wishes has come true! A new playthrough channel was made recently that aims to play any and all OFF fangames, completed or in demo! They're new to video making, but I'm just incredibly happy to see someone who wants to play more than just the most popular, well known fangames.
I was hesitant to make a post about it at first, mainly because I feared of this person getting hounded by demands to play certain fangames when they want to take things at their own pace. So the least I ask of people is not to dog pile them if possible. If they ask for recommendations, be nice about it and don't forget to be supportive!
A tiny "doodle" of an OFF fangame, made slapdash in about three days to combat a frustrated feeling. Can you get all three distinct endings? You just need to push. Push. Push. Push. Push.
