Fun Fact! The "Frog" is actually Laika, a 3D model of a Monkey's Head that's used for testing materials and light rendering. Laika is essentially the younger sibling of the Utah Teapot which is well known in 3D Software development as a default object.
Weird, i tought this is strictly Blender (3d modeling, sculpting and animating software) inside joke. I don't recall hearing it being called Laika, but Susan
@@crusaderanimation6967 It is indeed called Suzanne, and originates in blender (though now it's more popular). I don't know where the above commenter got "Laika" from, especially since "Laika" is a dog name that translates approximately as "barker".
Wait the bit about Orbo being a Poltergeist could be true. It said when a Poltergeist interacts with Zoetrope, Cherenkov Radiation is produced, which is formed as a bright blue glow in real life, the same type of glow going on with Orbo once he enters
31:50 - I'm pretty sure this boss is a reference to a recurring boss fight in game developer Treasure's works called Melon Bread. It showed up as far back as their Genesis games as a disembodied set of teeth, eyes and nose, looking *very* similar to the Smiler boss in Nowhere, MI.
Great video. I'm bad with names so it's always interesting to see that a number of games I like were actually by the same person. Turgor Pressure stuck in my head along with a couple of other underwater horror games that I think were bundled together in a demo pack thingy so I was super surprised it was by Johnny since Peeb was so well know by me. Honestly loved Nowhere MI's demo so I've been waiting for that patiently for a good long while. Orbo's Odyssey kinda surprised me with how good it's platforming and movement is although he has history with 3D platforming so I guess I shouldn't be.
I don't know if this is intentional, but the talking gun in 'nowhere, michigan' is very similar to the one from middens. I can see a lot of John Clowder's fever-dream-like influence here.
