Oooooooookay. Well since we're still here, I guess I should be constructive for once and tell you exactly WHY (I think) that duplex fangame is one of the numerous fabled epitomes of cringe.
For one, the graphics look very half-bothered.
Also, it's yet another one of the endless stream of Baldi's Basics fangames where it's literally just BBIEAL, but the characters and textures are changed. It just feels like mockery on the characters' and Baldi's parts. I mean, some serious-as-all-hell people are joining the same league as a bunch of dumb characters probably six year olds drew since they're also being character swaps in BBIEAL. Are they seriously participating in such a silly...trend? I mean obviously, because they have no choice and they are pieces of automata trapped in a modification, but are they really deciding to be like the rest of the people out there who had no choice but to make awkward fools out of themselves by playing parts in Baldi's school?
It also feels notably like mockery on Viktor's part, for very obvious reasons.
By the way, we already know that if Viktor DID defeat Baldi (and then take over his school, as you suggest), it would take quite a lot of effort to defeat him, since Baldi, being a metapotent entity in his universe, is definitely a cursed force to be reckoned with, with his abilities to freely manipulate quantum physics and glitch his simulation of a universe. This may or may not really be a valid point, but it just bothers me in general. And all of that fighting just to be a kindergartener! Like, are you for real. You didn't even renovate his school or anything. I mean, even if Baldi just got out of the way and let Viktor do his thing, why would Viktor do that? That's kind of a dumb thing to do, just take over the school of someone lesser than you and just move your entire faculty there. Especially when you have a better school.
Also, why is Laura still a cat? That was supposed to get reverted this version but oh well. There should be like customisations or something in AEWVS.
I just wanted to say...if the people of AEWVS did see your little fangame, I can assure you with 99.999% certainty that they would cringe.
"if the people of AEWVS did see your little fangame, I can assure you with 99.999% certainty that they would cringe." How come does she have +6 upvotes and your comment has -10.
But while I never liked Baldi mods in the slightest, I think young people express themselves with them because they truly sometimes don't have a better alternative. Being put in a place where you are interested in such weird games like Baldi and AEwVS, being unaware of other works of art, of course it's amazing that so many people try to share their own art! Even if it is a retexture of Baldi.
Wow, whoever liked that comment must not be a...normie, I guess. Anyway, I was the one who did hundreds of cringy things in the past I wish I didn't do because I was an idiot and I just want to share my wisdom. Also every time I do anything...memorable, nowadays, I always think about if I'll think it's cringy in the future.
You know, I don't even think any of us know what the qualifications are for any game to officially be classified as a fangame.
Well I just looked it up on Wikipedia, so to be honest I think this actually is a fangame. It doesn't matter how different AEWVS is to BBIEAL or how far it branches away and becomes unique, if they share critical core mechanics and concepts, then AEWVS is officially a fangame. And the main thing to remember is that fangames shouldn't be judged by their status as a fangame. This one right here is a brilliant fangame that does totally different things aside from the notebook-collecting and interval-pursuing arithmetic teachers that are deterred from something as simple as soda, as well as everything else. SO WHO CARES IF THIS IS EVEN A FANGAME AT THIS POINT? GET OVER IT. BBIEAL and AEWVS are both great; enough said. Anyway.
I cant find that anywhere on my computer,also when I download it do I extract it or something? the game just brings up the error message everytime I click to open it.I really wanna play this game but for some reason I can't.
fluid movement, dark ambience, a remarkable level design and interesting survival horror mechanics, this game is really impressive! Keep up the good work, mrdrnose.
Oh boy, I have even MORE things to say (including more possible bugs), but first, let me try to see what's down the hole under the elevator by repeatedly trying to throw flash mines into it:
Oh come on! That was so close!
Yay, finally, hole in one hundred! Now can I please see what's actually down there now?
Dang it! No! You can't crouch or anything! It's so stupid! I don't like things that are totally in reach but still you can only stare and imagine what might lurk within! Anyway time for a bunch of weird things that are probably just oversights.
2: It happened again, only at the bottom of the stairs this time, and even worse. It didn't even collapse after being sliced into solid strips of sections, which just goes to show how sturdy these doors really are. And what's more, doors are literally more than the sum of their parts. Once they're sliced, the strips mean nothing to barrier the door since Angell could always just step over them. Well, that's universal then, which means once a door is in strips, you can always pass through. Even if they're stacked into a door. Just saying. This bloody paragraph is too long, dang.
2.5: Speaking of doors and Erie, when I got kicked out of the library after slicing the entrance door, the door made the emergency deactivate noise and since the door was open, the absent door made an audible closing sound. I think that's a bug. Anyway,
3: I just threw a book at Erie while running straight past her, but she got me into her clutches anyway.
ahahaha look at how flat and broken she looks
4: I don't know why but the game files are calling stuff totally related to Alice about "Tiara" at some point. The more I think about it, I'm starting to get 25% sure that's going to be a name for Alice's alter-ego. Now that I think about it though, she still called herself Alice at some point while being taken over. Probably because Alice was still fighting it. Come to think of it, every line Alice says when she's taken over is red, except for the one below, which is the only one with that file name, and the subtitles are black. Boy, now I'm 33% sure about it now. Here, look at the directories.
Content > audio > alice > tiara > tiaraQuote1.ogg = "N0W Y0U W1|| UND3R574ND MY P41N!" (something like that)
The game is not canceled. MrDrNose said that they will continue working on the game once they are back from their vacation. There also were no updates, because they had finals. I don’t know why they set the game on cancelled though. 🤔
1: I have a question; does Alice still have all four arms and tentacles when she's fine and not troubled yet (and just has her hands behind her back (obviously they're too big for her pockets)), or does she just take a normal practically human form?
2: If you thought Viktor was scary, just you go in the BATHROOM!!!
3: I found what I believe to be yet another bug in the History Level. And considering how the door's hitboxes don't work anymore...it's very weird and probably should be fixed.
EDIT: Many of the times I tried that since then, the pieces actually fell to the ground properly.
Sigh. I found EVEN MORE bugs regarding Alice, Erie, clocks, magnets and doors. So, to make bug reports more interesting, I proudly present to you:
Automata Erosion with Valiant Strats, or A.E.W.V.S!
(yes I had to get creative)
Hopefully the picture explains everything already as it is. Erie stuck in place with a book, the clock motionless, the elevator stuck at the bottom floor, what more could you want out of life!? And even BETTER: softlocking the elevator is optional! That means you can complete the entire History Level with NO WORRIES!!! (ESPECIALLY if nobody reads this before the History Level is finished! TROLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!) No Alice, nothing! So here's what you do, in 10 easy steps.
Retrieve the neodymium magnet from the table.
Attach it to the entrance door of the Library.
Wait for Alice.
Vanquish Alice as quickly as she slices the door open.
Piss off Erie.
Patiently become escorted out of the Library.
Return to the Library via the broken entrance.
Find a book, any book to gain Erie's attention.
Give it to her.
Voilà! The clock will not move as Erie examines the book, so that Alice cannot catch you whilst Erie has you in her discipline. Neither will Erie, as she has already thrown you out of the library, which means there is nothing left for her. Therefore, Alice and Erie will both begone, lost forever in a personal softlock! Actually, I need to see what happens if I give Erie the book whilst Alice is present. Will she stop walking and glare at me with great creepy contempt as she waits for Erie's action which is never going to happen?
Anyway, as an optional bonus, here's how to trap yourself at the second storey, in THREE EASY STEPS:
Set the elevator to level 1.
Activate it.
Dash out of there before the doors shut.
As the world stands still, should Angell not choose to travel back in time, starvation will ravage her body as empty packets of chips, soda cans and chocolate crumbs lay on the floor, later followed by decomposition. Hahaha, everything is so brilliant! I'll get back to you about what if I did that in Alice's presence.
EDIT: Nevermind, Alice still keeps moving. Also, every other time, I was always being too late. Well, this time, I got fed up with waiting and just gave her six wrong books. I don't know why, but I got quite scared when she swore at me. Lolololololololololololol. I was kind of in a rush. (What shocks me though is that she has low enough standards to read those terrible comics (and now makes librarian way too mature a position for a lunatic like her) but also higher enough standards than every other staff member to censor her own bloody profanity. Not only is she the only one able to physically censor herself, but she actively declined to swear at Viktor during the Christmas party.) By the way, I'm not sure why the bear traps appeared like this. I suppose it's to make them less visible.
First, I went and waited eight minutes for Phonty to emerge so I could see him breaking the walls around the doors. (I waited in the corridor that contains the equivalent of what the Head Teacher called "the closet" (I call it "the rack room") in AEWVS: CC.) But guess what? For some reason, he just crashed straight into a nearby wall in the corner and fell into Unreal Engine's void. I don't know why, but I suppose it was because the corner was so narrow. Also I didn't get to take a screenshot before I walked too far off the edge and fell into the void with Phonty.
I took this screenshot though. He emerges from the bottom, right? I always wondered about the way he did that straight on top of the pedestal, but I guess I know now. He just phases straight through it. To be honest, I would personally consider that a bit of an oversight...I mean, if I got Phonty to emerge, I would hoist him up on a stable platform that seperates into his legs on top of the pedestal.
Secondly, I got Alice to slice a door open and guess what? Not long after, a book just randomly inexplicably levitated in the air in front of the door parallel to the bookshelf it was supposed to be on. Also at some point another book quickly flickered next to it.
I'm so far behind on my blog post about every recorded idea, suggestion and bug for AEWVS... (._.) (even excluding the ones in Discord)
Look, people, even if it is actually a fangame and nobody's willing to accept that since the game is brilliant and the facts that Viktor moves at intervals like Baldi with notebooks, both of the headmasters are people in grey that like to discipline children that break the rules, the janitors both sweep the school trying to clean it up and move people, there are item slots and a green stamina bar, soda's detrimental to both of the math teachers and both of the brands of chocolate bar give you stamina fever seemingly aren't enough to make it qualify as just a fangame since it also has everything else, it's not just another dumb BBIEAL fangame. It actually has some deep meaning to it, and that's the point I want to get across. There's much more to it than "just being another (stupid) fangame". And that's all that should matter. Whether it's a fangame or not completely shouldn't, unless it's absolutely obviously just a reskin and mod of BBIEAL. Maybe it is a fangame, but it's branched out and gone on a very different path after the direct connections with AEWVS to BBIEAL, which a lot of fangames haven't done since they rather branched out and merged back with BBIEAL again, being just a mod or a remake. And besides, mrdrnose worked very hard on this. So hard he'd rather just muck around on Blender all the time than deal with all the Unreal Engine lagging blueprints, so, yeah.
First of all I'd like to say happy (late) anniversary to aewvs!
Now let's get to the bugs I found.
Mrdrnose, there are bugs that I found, and some are very old and they STILL work! Even in the latest versions!
1. When you put the magnet on a door and then take it off, the door gets completely stuck! Meaning you can get softlocked! Not you or any other NPC can open it forcing you to restart! (rare occurrence but very obnoxious)
2. Pressing G can spit out a lockpick for free
3. You can put a magnet on the side of a door while open (other people said this)
4. While having a door that's magnetized, Viktor's hitbox goes through the door while you're touching it! Meaning you can still get jumpscared while he's striking it down!
5. In a secret Mr.Mix minigame, you can't get out! Pressing Esc key doesn't let you leave. So the only way out is to press the windows key and close the game from there
6. While granny makes you lose sanity, the sanity bar can go lower than it's border without insanity death
7. In the language notebooks: Can you help with my homework? The game thinks the "y" in "you" has to be capitalized when it shouldn't be
8. Ever since the version 8 update, there is an unlucky glitch that makes you can't move thanks to the control bindings being empty. It only shows the bottom black line and the "DONE" key. Nothing else. Thanks to this, I can only play the versions 7c or below. This glitch is so luck based. This even happens in AEWVS Christmas Curse as well!
9. Sometimes Marzia can just kill you out of nowhere. One second you are walking, then the next you just get teleported to Marzia and game over.
There is probably lot's that I'm missing, but please fix them in the next update. Take the time you need.
YAYYYYYYYYYYY LOOK SOMEONE WHO CARES ABOUT BOTH GAMES (I think)
Well a lot of them are just oversights on his part
1: Just wanted to say that I only remember that occurring if you put the magnet on when the door is in motion.
2: mrdrnose was probably just using that for testing and forgot to undo it
3: That may or may not be intentional. After all it would make perfect sense for a door to get stuck either way, and it might even be useful for if you want to hold a locked door open once it's in access.
4: Doors don't cut off hitboxes, and also everyone has multiple hitboxes at once for different purposes.
6: mrdrnose recently scrapped the idea of sanity killing you, saying it wouldn't really make sense. Like, is Angell gonna get a stroke from being too insane and just die? Though, I don't really think that's totally the best idea, I mean you should just faint if you get too much insanity and automatically get killed by one of the staff members.
7: Seems like You don't even know mrdrnose well enough...which is ackchuyally suprising considering the fact all the characters talked with his grammar for entire game))
(BTW it's much more obvious on Discord and also I'm planning on making a version that would make Marzia slightly more content)
8: It's a bug, but it can be fixed by hacking into the save data and deleting a bunch of files. Though, I'll have to check which ones they are.
BY THE WAY. I think #9 happens when she's walking faster than you towards you straight behind you. So it's completely intentional. To demonstrate, put your speakers up to 100% so you can hear her walking...JK LOL, if you try that again you'll get treble boosted from the screamer, but seriously. She's a real quiet stalker.
(If you don't want to put your speakers up to 100% so you can hear her walking, constantly look back. If Marzia's within view though, she'll walk faster if you look at her.)
Also your angle always instantly changes when you're caught (except for in the ending of the Math Level). Probably to make it startling.
Honestly, I can't wait to know if you read any of this at all...
I'd actually be surprised if you did.
Okay. Whoever reads this sentence, right here, gets a free gold star. (Sat here for 2 straight minutes trying to think of a freebie, so don't be deceived by that sentence.)
Up to today, which is 9/6/2019 (HAPPY ANNIVERSARY), AEWVS has been etched SO deeply into my mind that I've had at least 15 dreams in my life involving multiple elements of AEWVS. And that's not counting the one I had today...
I don't think I can finish what I'm doing in time for AEWVS' anniversary
Also I have an opinion: every year, AEWVS should have a different event like the Christmas one since you obviously managed to pull that one off in just a month or two. Keep expanding the History Level's map though, that's the main thing.
Hear that, people? We all wanna chip in. Because we also have a bunch of requests and concepts lol and plus, even without them, screwing around on UE4 with the laggy blueprints is probably already going to be too much for him
...by the way, i'd imagined you'd think this is fanart. well no. it's not fanart. don't put it in the game as fanart, i mean. if you want fanart, i could make some much better fanart in a few.
I completely forget what I was supposed to say, but consider this a teaser for something, I suppose. I don't know. But it's definitely taking me way too long to do since I have limited access at totally random times.
Also, if you read this, pls tell me what the heck is going on right now.
i just did an update to this post so minor that if you read this AND find it I'll personally give you $10 in 4 years when I'm 18 LOL
9 more days until the anniversary of AEWVS!!! You know what I propose for a future build? RADAR MODE!!! It'll be a special reward cheat for beating the language level, and ONLY FOR BEATING THE LANGUAGE LEVEL. Radar mode is an optional mode available in all 3 levels where there will be a map of the current level the player is in, on the top right corner of the screen, showing the player where the characters currently are, in the form of identical red dots without specifying which dots are which characters to make it a little less obvious who each dot represents. Radar mode can be useful for better predicting Mr. Cleany-Clean and Marzia's paths and locations at different periods of time for when the player decides to scavenge for notebooks afterwards without the radar, as well as helping the player watch out for stupid jerk Head Teacher and silent stealth Viktor, especially in Braniac mode. It can also be used to locate the priest and die to him, at least when the death achievement or sanity mechanics are re-adjusted. Anyway, this cheat is just a reward for great progress and completion, not something available from the start. If it still seems too overpowering and easy to obtain and abuse, how about the player having to obtain a certain amount of achievements, probably 18 total, in order to unlock Radar Mode. I got the idea of Radar Mode from the radar cheat in Five Nights at Freddy's 4. Tell me what you all think of this special cheat reward down below. I hope Mrdrnose reads this and replies as well.
I never beat the Language Level with the math notebooks before, mainly because I thought it was overwhelming. Of course, I didn't wear any headphones to listen to Marzia with, so yeah. If you're going to have the Radar Mode, you should really complete the level(s) 100% first. That way you can't cheat, or make it just as worth it as completing the level genuinely. oopswaitholdon
OK, look. Having a Radar Mode for AEWVS would be inexplicably unnecessary. I mean, for one thing, why would Angell just have psychic powers for no reason? Sure, she can time travel (as far as she goes at saving and loading at "checkpoints" - the Belt's completely immune to it though), but why would she just suddenly get psychic powers to overcome the quantum-based RNG in the game? Also, if you had Radar Mode, that would make the level unnecessarily easy. AEWVS is all about strategy-planning, exploration, curiosity and problem-solving, and if you could suddenly just have a Watcher's-eye-view of the realmic vicinity for no reason, that would kinda ruin it. Besides, one cannot experience great reward without great suffering, and I'm pretty sure Angell's entire life is supposed to hold true to that. So if you're going to have Radar Mode, you need to 100% the game as it is first, having done absolutely everything and found every secret. Then you might be granted some developer perks such as screwing around with the console, watching the map and disabling a bunch of sounds, NPC's and scripts. If that sounds like too much, you can progressively get more privileges with a bunch of restrictions of course - like being unable to get achievements while cheat mode is on.
Just sat there for eight consecutive minutes waiting for Phonty and holy hell dude, it made my heart pound for some reason. Ah dang, forgot to take a screenshot! Look at all the rubble...
...wait a minute, why doesn't he just walk directly towards you breaking ALL the walls?
Anyway I have another glitch for you
This is what happens if you stick a magnet on the side of a broken door. Don't do that.

Congratulations! I know you aren't proud of it anymore, but you wil make better mods!
Literally no one:
People who think this is a fangame: STOP LYING TO ME, THIS IS A FANGAME
You know, I don't even think any of us know what the qualifications are for any game to officially be classified as a fangame.

ohkeh
Fangame or not it's a great game.
this always happens when I try to play the game
Oh.
Not enough context, see you later bye!!!
P.S. if that happened to me I would delete my AEWVS save files launch it again and give up after that
what save files?
Join the Discord server. I'm pretty sure someone can help you there.
The discord server has an invalid invite,I cant join,I would love to though just to see what is happening with the game
Oh. I thought we set the link so it never expires. Well, here’s another one: https://discord.gg/Ua3TDkx
The ones in C:\Users\(H0race)\AppData\Local\STROBOVSKY
I cant find that anywhere on my computer,also when I download it do I extract it or something? the game just brings up the error message everytime I click to open it.I really wanna play this game but for some reason I can't.
Well I think you're hopeless...best try another computer since I don't even know what the fatal error was about
You know what actually, nevermind...
Did it get fixed?
Everytime I try to download the game and open it,the game says there is a Fatal Error and crashes,pls help!
Can I have a screenshot?
fluid movement, dark ambience, a remarkable level design and interesting survival horror mechanics, this game is really impressive! Keep up the good work, mrdrnose.
Oh boy just you wait, that's just the start of it~
Great descriptory words, i fully agree.
Oh boy, I have even MORE things to say (including more possible bugs), but first, let me try to see what's down the hole under the elevator by repeatedly trying to throw flash mines into it:

In the small hole, there are 432-test tiles, they odn't work on the arcade machine (the green one) on third floor.
Yeah, duh, I just got like 47 dang notifications of you necroreplying and I already talked about this in a development log.

EDIT: Nevermind, Alice still keeps moving. Also, every other time, I was always being too late. Well, this time, I got fed up with waiting and just gave her six wrong books. I don't know why, but I got quite scared when she swore at me. Lolololololololololololol. I was kind of in a rush. (What shocks me though is that she has low enough standards to read those terrible comics (and now makes librarian way too mature a position for a lunatic like her) but also higher enough standards than every other staff member to censor her own bloody profanity. Not only is she the only one able to physically censor herself, but she actively declined to swear at Viktor during the Christmas party.) By the way, I'm not sure why the bear traps appeared like this. I suppose it's to make them less visible.
Alright, I have a couple of bugs.
First, I went and waited eight minutes for Phonty to emerge so I could see him breaking the walls around the doors. (I waited in the corridor that contains the equivalent of what the Head Teacher called "the closet" (I call it "the rack room") in AEWVS: CC.) But guess what? For some reason, he just crashed straight into a nearby wall in the corner and fell into Unreal Engine's void. I don't know why, but I suppose it was because the corner was so narrow. Also I didn't get to take a screenshot before I walked too far off the edge and fell into the void with Phonty.
I took this screenshot though. He emerges from the bottom, right? I always wondered about the way he did that straight on top of the pedestal, but I guess I know now. He just phases straight through it. To be honest, I would personally consider that a bit of an oversight...I mean, if I got Phonty to emerge, I would hoist him up on a stable platform that seperates into his legs on top of the pedestal.
Secondly, I got Alice to slice a door open and guess what? Not long after, a book just randomly inexplicably levitated in the air in front of the door parallel to the bookshelf it was supposed to be on. Also at some point another book quickly flickered next to it.
I'm so far behind on my blog post about every recorded idea, suggestion and bug for AEWVS... (._.) (even excluding the ones in Discord)
"this is not a baldi fangame"
"Advanced Education With Viktor Strobovski"
*It's a mf baldi's basics fangame*
Plez stip lying to me
pls don't kill me mr. dr. nose I was just playingLook, people, even if it is actually a fangame and nobody's willing to accept that since the game is brilliant and the facts that Viktor moves at intervals like Baldi with notebooks, both of the headmasters are people in grey that like to discipline children that break the rules, the janitors both sweep the school trying to clean it up and move people, there are item slots and a green stamina bar, soda's detrimental to both of the math teachers and both of the brands of chocolate bar give you stamina fever seemingly aren't enough to make it qualify as just a fangame since it also has everything else, it's not just another dumb BBIEAL fangame. It actually has some deep meaning to it, and that's the point I want to get across. There's much more to it than "just being another (stupid) fangame". And that's all that should matter. Whether it's a fangame or not completely shouldn't, unless it's absolutely obviously just a reskin and mod of BBIEAL. Maybe it is a fangame, but it's branched out and gone on a very different path after the direct connections with AEWVS to BBIEAL, which a lot of fangames haven't done since they rather branched out and merged back with BBIEAL again, being just a mod or a remake. And besides, mrdrnose worked very hard on this. So hard he'd rather just muck around on Blender all the time than deal with all the Unreal Engine lagging blueprints, so, yeah.
understandable have a nice day
First of all I'd like to say happy (late) anniversary to aewvs!
Now let's get to the bugs I found.
Mrdrnose, there are bugs that I found, and some are very old and they STILL work! Even in the latest versions!
1. When you put the magnet on a door and then take it off, the door gets completely stuck! Meaning you can get softlocked! Not you or any other NPC can open it forcing you to restart! (rare occurrence but very obnoxious)
2. Pressing G can spit out a lockpick for free
3. You can put a magnet on the side of a door while open (other people said this)
4. While having a door that's magnetized, Viktor's hitbox goes through the door while you're touching it! Meaning you can still get jumpscared while he's striking it down!
5. In a secret Mr.Mix minigame, you can't get out! Pressing Esc key doesn't let you leave. So the only way out is to press the windows key and close the game from there
6. While granny makes you lose sanity, the sanity bar can go lower than it's border without insanity death
7. In the language notebooks: Can you help with my homework? The game thinks the "y" in "you" has to be capitalized when it shouldn't be
8. Ever since the version 8 update, there is an unlucky glitch that makes you can't move thanks to the control bindings being empty. It only shows the bottom black line and the "DONE" key. Nothing else. Thanks to this, I can only play the versions 7c or below. This glitch is so luck based. This even happens in AEWVS Christmas Curse as well!
9. Sometimes Marzia can just kill you out of nowhere. One second you are walking, then the next you just get teleported to Marzia and game over.
There is probably lot's that I'm missing, but please fix them in the next update. Take the time you need.
YAYYYYYYYYYYY LOOK SOMEONE WHO CARES ABOUT BOTH GAMES (I think)
Well a lot of them are just oversights on his part
1: Just wanted to say that I only remember that occurring if you put the magnet on when the door is in motion.
2: mrdrnose was probably just using that for testing and forgot to undo it
3: That may or may not be intentional. After all it would make perfect sense for a door to get stuck either way, and it might even be useful for if you want to hold a locked door open once it's in access.
4: Doors don't cut off hitboxes, and also everyone has multiple hitboxes at once for different purposes.
6: mrdrnose recently scrapped the idea of sanity killing you, saying it wouldn't really make sense. Like, is Angell gonna get a stroke from being too insane and just die? Though, I don't really think that's totally the best idea, I mean you should just faint if you get too much insanity and automatically get killed by one of the staff members.
7: Seems like You don't even know mrdrnose well enough...which is ackchuyally suprising considering the fact all the characters talked with his grammar for entire game))
(BTW it's much more obvious on Discord and also I'm planning on making a version that would make Marzia slightly more content)
8: It's a bug, but it can be fixed by hacking into the save data and deleting a bunch of files. Though, I'll have to check which ones they are.
BY THE WAY. I think #9 happens when she's walking faster than you towards you straight behind you. So it's completely intentional. To demonstrate, put your speakers up to 100% so you can hear her walking...JK LOL, if you try that again you'll get treble boosted from the screamer, but seriously. She's a real quiet stalker.
(If you don't want to put your speakers up to 100% so you can hear her walking, constantly look back. If Marzia's within view though, she'll walk faster if you look at her.)
Also your angle always instantly changes when you're caught (except for in the ending of the Math Level). Probably to make it startling.
Honestly, I can't wait to know if you read any of this at all...
I'd actually be surprised if you did.
Okay. Whoever reads this sentence, right here, gets a free gold star. (Sat here for 2 straight minutes trying to think of a freebie, so don't be deceived by that sentence.)
Hey I got a gold star, thank you very much!
*sigh* here you go
⭐
Cancelled?
dang
WAIT, WHAT!?!?!?!? How did I not notice what you actually meant until now!?!?
nvm im just being lost have a good day
Happy 1st Anniversary. Advanced Education with Viktor Strobovski is 1 year old now. Thanks Mr. Obvious.
Wow 3 years soon..
Don't bring me back into this community please. I want nothing to do with it anymore.
I apologize and I understand your frustrations. Godspeed.
Happy 1st Anniversary
Happy 1st anniversary, everynyan! https://youtu.be/h4SdVTBoFAk
Up to today, which is 9/6/2019 (HAPPY ANNIVERSARY), AEWVS has been etched SO deeply into my mind that I've had at least 15 dreams in my life involving multiple elements of AEWVS. And that's not counting the one I had today...
Oh, and yes, I counted. Kinda.
How dare you. BEGONE!
I have better things to do.
K. Whatever.
I don't think I can finish what I'm doing in time for AEWVS' anniversary
Also I have an opinion: every year, AEWVS should have a different event like the Christmas one since you obviously managed to pull that one off in just a month or two. Keep expanding the History Level's map though, that's the main thing.
im interested in developing the game for you
Hear that, people? We all wanna chip in. Because we also have a bunch of requests and concepts lol and plus, even without them, screwing around on UE4 with the laggy blueprints is probably already going to be too much for him
I'm done. I'm not doing this anymore.
What are you talking about?
something
Looks like Angell's going on a big adventure! :D
I completely forget what I was supposed to say, but consider this a teaser for something, I suppose. I don't know. But it's definitely taking me way too long to do since I have limited access at totally random times.
Also, if you read this, pls tell me what the heck is going on right now.
i just did an update to this post so minor that if you read this AND find it I'll personally give you $10 in 4 years when I'm 18 LOL
LOL at Albert (Einstein) and Lays
Angel looks like a dinosaur in the best way possible
is it just because of the feet or something
also dang I nearly have to give you 10 bucks in two years
Aaaaaaaaaand I've forgotten why
Wait NVM
it's been 7 months since i last played this game x.x there are so many new characters, i'm so confused. i hope i will have time to explore all
Soooooo...(checks version history) Version 0.0.9?
Also since Version 0.1.1 is listed, I recommend you play that before going to Version 0.1.3...
Amazing fanart. Reminds me of Christopher Robin in the beset way possible.
9 more days until the anniversary of AEWVS!!! You know what I propose for a future build? RADAR MODE!!! It'll be a special reward cheat for beating the language level, and ONLY FOR BEATING THE LANGUAGE LEVEL. Radar mode is an optional mode available in all 3 levels where there will be a map of the current level the player is in, on the top right corner of the screen, showing the player where the characters currently are, in the form of identical red dots without specifying which dots are which characters to make it a little less obvious who each dot represents. Radar mode can be useful for better predicting Mr. Cleany-Clean and Marzia's paths and locations at different periods of time for when the player decides to scavenge for notebooks afterwards without the radar, as well as helping the player watch out for stupid jerk Head Teacher and silent stealth Viktor, especially in Braniac mode. It can also be used to locate the priest and die to him, at least when the death achievement or sanity mechanics are re-adjusted. Anyway, this cheat is just a reward for great progress and completion, not something available from the start. If it still seems too overpowering and easy to obtain and abuse, how about the player having to obtain a certain amount of achievements, probably 18 total, in order to unlock Radar Mode. I got the idea of Radar Mode from the radar cheat in Five Nights at Freddy's 4. Tell me what you all think of this special cheat reward down below. I hope Mrdrnose reads this and replies as well.
I never beat the Language Level with the math notebooks before, mainly because I thought it was overwhelming. Of course, I didn't wear any headphones to listen to Marzia with, so yeah. If you're going to have the Radar Mode, you should really complete the level(s) 100% first. That way you can't cheat, or make it just as worth it as completing the level genuinely. oopswaitholdon
OK, look. Having a Radar Mode for AEWVS would be inexplicably unnecessary. I mean, for one thing, why would Angell just have psychic powers for no reason? Sure, she can time travel (as far as she goes at saving and loading at "checkpoints" - the Belt's completely immune to it though), but why would she just suddenly get psychic powers to overcome the quantum-based RNG in the game? Also, if you had Radar Mode, that would make the level unnecessarily easy. AEWVS is all about strategy-planning, exploration, curiosity and problem-solving, and if you could suddenly just have a Watcher's-eye-view of the realmic vicinity for no reason, that would kinda ruin it. Besides, one cannot experience great reward without great suffering, and I'm pretty sure Angell's entire life is supposed to hold true to that. So if you're going to have Radar Mode, you need to 100% the game as it is first, having done absolutely everything and found every secret. Then you might be granted some developer perks such as screwing around with the console, watching the map and disabling a bunch of sounds, NPC's and scripts. If that sounds like too much, you can progressively get more privileges with a bunch of restrictions of course - like being unable to get achievements while cheat mode is on.
now exists, kinda.
Just sat there for eight consecutive minutes waiting for Phonty and holy hell dude, it made my heart pound for some reason. Ah dang, forgot to take a screenshot! Look at all the rubble...
...wait a minute, why doesn't he just walk directly towards you breaking ALL the walls?
Anyway I have another glitch for you
This is what happens if you stick a magnet on the side of a broken door.
Don't do that.
