The nature of something going viral on the internet is really weird. Honestly, I don't know what to make of it anymore. I did this as a basic fan project, and it's spiraled out of control now. I really don't know what to do from here...

Perhaps make additional environments as levels, alternatives to the first map. Perhaps inspired by scenes from other Slendervlogs.

I know what we can do. Let's REALLY ACT like we REALLY WANT this mainstream exposure, and then everyone will be like... meh.

Theory: AgentParsec IS Slendy.
He inserted himself into a viral video game, and now he has infected computers and television sets across America. No twenty-something is safe.

You know, Parsec? At this rate, I won't be surprised if you start getting emails from game development companies offering you jobs.

Although, I have to admit, the thought of Slender Man going mainstream is unsettling.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the game only blew up because of PDP's coverage...

So weird hearing TOM get scared.

All of the publicity aside, here are some improvements you can make that I can think of:
*Make the SM less goofy looking; the way his limbs are spread out kinda ruins the tension since it looks like he's in the middle of jumping jacks.
*Give an option to turn off the ambience that plays when you pick up the notes, in case the player wants it to be extra scary.

how about adding new maps that you can select to play in? an urbanised one, an enclosed warehouse, etc.

You know what? Forget all this nitpicking, if the game wasn't quality material, it wouldn't be getting all the press. Is it perfect? No. It is supposed to be an AAA game? Helltotheno.

I'd be interested in seeing what changes or polishes are put on any 0.9.5, but honestly I think some of the recent suggestions are outside of the boundaries of what can be reasonably expected in a fan work being done pro bono distributed as freeware. I'd rather parsec do one more pass and set it down than him go nuts over everyone either nitpicking things or making recommendations which require more time by orders of magnitude.
