@@Weirdo_Studios775 As soon as I saw a throwback to the early Resident Evil games and their clones/ripoffs with that old-school lower polygon artstyle and pixelated 'crunch' in a competition starting with "Memento Mori" as a theme, I knew it was going to win. The combination of that style with creepy mysterious biolabs crawling with zombies is an absolute killer mix for anyone who played those games back in the day. I will say, it was a very good execution on the concept, unlike a lot of shovelware stuff that tries to capture that nostalgia. I'm interested to see where the dev takes the project from there.

I don't think it was planned or "backstage stuff" that happened, I think there is one very obvious reason why Lixen won this. The judges were in favor of Dryden winning, so it all came up to the people's vote, who is Lixen to "the people"? He is Markipliers editor and is very well known, who is Dryden to "the people"? Nobody really knows him like they do Lixen. This just became a popularity contest when it went to the public...

Don’t get me wrong, Lixian’s game was cool, but Dryden was absolutely robbed of this win. The man literally composed his own music for this game. He made such an original and unique game and I am dying to see him expand upon it. I think it was a mistake including the community in the vote. Most average community members are not experienced with the time and effort that goes into creating these games, or what makes a good game. Plus, Lixian has a much larger audience than Dryden, so of course he is going to win the community vote. It turned into a popularity contest for people not games and that’s honestly so disappointing.

I'm surprised the judges let Lixian through to the end honestly. I feel like there was popularity bias and the community voted for their favorite person rather than their favorite game for sure. Not to mention, Lixian's bias with Markiplier and Momento Mori just felt unfair in his favor too. I mean, Lixian's game has no replayability, was unfinished, unpolished, and there were multiple complaints about it... Whereas everyone seemed to genuinely enjoy DisInherited and everyone, especially the dev, seemed stoked about that game whereas Lixian wasn't even excited or even sure if he'd finish the game...

I tend to agree, but I will say that the theme doesn't really benefit Lixian at all. Was it a nod toward Markiplier...who knows.

Maybe that wasn't the point you were trying to make with that piece.

**Spoilers in this comment** I think lixian had a great game and I'll be upfront about my bias toward Dreyden's game, because the fact that community vote decided the winner rubs me the wrong way a little. Lixian is an established presence on the internet and it makes me wonder if clout had a lot to do with the community vote, over the actual games. Either way all devs in this competition did an amazing job and I'm no professional critic so maybe lixian's really did have more appeal to the masses I am unaware of. Still if community votes happen in the future I feel that the devs behind each should remain anonymous until after the voting period so clout doesn't have any sort of effect on the results.

You guys should really consider making voting anonymous for the devs especially if you're going to include the community, and I think the rest the comments explain why. Lixian has been seen by TENS OF MILLIONS of people through Markiplier. He is a recognizable creator just through that alone. So if you're allowing to put the community to put in not one, but two votes, there is a HUGE chance of community bias. It would also be more fair for Lixian because then he would be judged for his dev chops alone. That said, I absolutely ADORE Lixian as a person, as an editor, and as a developer. I would love to see more of him on here. I cheered seeing him. He's hilarious and he did hold his own. But I don't think the voting was entirely fair.

Dryden's game looks like something I would actually try playing. My favorite games are open-world RPGs and action roguelites/likes and when the dev of a game openly admits there's ample opportunity to become completely broken from a combat perspective, I'm immediately interest. As well done as Lyxian's game is, it's too reminiscent of 10000 other Under $10 horror games. And given that it's Lyxian, he could probably publish his game for $5 and make the prize money off sales just due to his following.

I am absolutely baffled, it was such a unique concept with a an extremely clear vision. Sure the other one was great as a one time experience horror, but Disinherited was so much more than that. Their story wasn't even comparable, the use of the themes was better, SPECIALLY the computer one. It had a really cool aesthetics and a variety of different settings. Like am I crazy? The horror game was good, but Disinherited feels like something that could become a roguelike classic in the right hands.

I'm not sure, but I don't think they told them who made the game, they just asked them to vote on one of them.

@@bricked2557 Check the poll again while the names aren't listed I doubt they put them labeled as game 1 and game 2. also Lixian used his iconic figure in the video and hes a creator with over a million subs. If they made the vote based off the dev presentation videos then there is a clear biased displayed. If they blindly gave them the games to download and play and they voted off that then that could be a fair polling. Bottom line tho popularity contests leave a bad taste in everyones mouth and should not be applicable in a game dev competition

GGs to Lixian and Dryden, but honestly Dryden won in my books. I'm a sucker for roguelikes!

There were very special people in highschool that God just blessed with these amazing attitudes, humility, and buoyancy. It is very rare that i see one nowadays but Dryden is one.

Lixian's game leans way more towards what I usually like in videogames but in their current state it was an absolute joke that Dryden didn't win, thing was more polished than other games I've actually paid money for, what a beast

I feel like Lixian's Game could be really awesome, if it would had a better movement and inventory mechanics. Also the Gameplay seems to get boring really fast. So i don't understand how Dryden didn't won. His game had it all and more! Kinda sad to see Lixian only winning, because he has a bigger fanbase.

I think this group of makers all did a good job, my final vote would have gone to Dryden though, his feels more like a fully fleshed game with a concept, and just needs added levels, Lixian's still needs a lot of work, and he didn't address the concern about how straight forward the combat is. (adding a shotgun isn't enough) , heck it doesn't even have as many unique enemies as Dryden, which is something that is more needed in a fps, nor a level boss or anything to really trigger progression. The game absolutely has potential, but it's not really locked down into anything yet.

Dryden’s game should’ve won imo. I’m glad he decided to continue development on Disinherited. I’m interested in it and anything he does in the future

WHAT❓‼️ this has to be the biggest robbery in yourube contests history aint no way, im sorry but dryden teally REALLY deserved that win its not fair to do a community poll it just turns into a popularity contest, here is the thing both games are good but tbh as a indie horror gamer I’ve grown very tired of them psx1 style horror games with comically large items that arn’t realistic meanwhile drydens game had so much depth, original composed music so much replayability and insane character/map design, the boss were dome so great, so next time leave the devs name out of the poll so its not a popularity contest, WOW BIGGEST ROB EVER DAMN…

I feel like horror games are just a free "pass on to the finals" in these types of videos, even when it feels like other games are so much more interesting. Would be nice to see some variation in the future, or just make the game theme straight up "horror games" so we can get on without the horror game bias..

An observation I probably should've realised sooner, but did this channel just go full reality show? Not sure how I feel about that… Edit: Regardless of what many might think, “winner takes all” is a terrible prize distribution.

The intentional timing of Dryden being up a vote only to have it taken away by a popularity contest is the trash tv that I wanted to escape by watching these videos. Really a shame

WTFFF, I feel so bad for dryden. He was obviously robbed. Both games were good, but Dryden seems more complete, more lore, and had a better plot and fighting system. Lixian game was good for a one time play thru, but Dryden's had way more replayability and seemed overall more fun with the different builds and ways you could defeat enemies, not to mention the lore for each boss. I am shocked Dryden lost.
