That phenomenon is called "Motion Aftereffect". Basically your brain adapts to motion in one direction as a kind of new baseline, then takes some time to adapt back to normal.
I was a $1000 tier supporter on "The Candle" kickstarter but then Jerma marked the kickstarter as "completed" and then started a new one with the same name, he did this multiple times and I gave $1000 each time so now I'm out like $8000 and the game still hasn't been made, no concept art or anything :(
99% of kickstarter backers quit just before their openworld, metroidvania, sandbox, city builder, exploration based, Blockchain powered, surrealist, psychological horror, roguelike, rpg comes out.
Wait so it’s a four hour long experience with no items to equip besides a candle, but the candle only burns for one hour, and at the end you have to shoot a monster to kill it. But the monster comes out of your arm(?) and you need to shoot yourself to win? And he’s so zonked out of his mind that he’s sold on this idea? Because I think it’s flawless, honestly, no complaints.
I've heard people say it's a scam that you need a $500 peripheral that injects the piss into you. They're not "super paypig backer" tier so I know they're fake fans
Not really the same but about 4 years ago there was a student game called Wick which had to be renamed Flicker of Hope. It's free on steam and where you play as a candle that gets lower and getting to a checkpoint of a group of candles on the ground you get back to full size. It has horror elements as well and is mostly about sneaking around a dark castle.
the homemade hummus bit pissed me off so much i had to turn the video off and started crying thinking about the possibility that i actually didnt like jerma
I'm so gonna make a game demo based on the initial "The Candle" idea Jerma had. Ngl I think it would be cool to have some sort of game jam with "The Candle" as the subject
4:00 is an example of the only saving grace humanity has: when Jerma becomes self-aware, he immediately bluescreens. This failsafe protects us from Awakened Jeremy. For now.
the more I hear jerma talk about this "candle" game, the more I realize he's just building one of those scam games that wastes your time while it data-mines your computer while you're playing it
I once joked in the discord when he was playing "only up" that because the game was obviously such a cash-grab he would get to the top and bonzi buddy would be there at the top and say "YOU IDIOT" and then the game closes and all his data is stolen
20:00 Jeremy Elbertson, the infamous Candle Butcherer, trying to convince his voices that he is not your typical serial killer and that he doesnt eat dog food like every other killer (he does)
Jerma's game ideas legitimately sound like what a highschooler would think a cool game would be. Like on paper it sounds fine, but people would get bored with the concept after the first 5 minutes if there's no interesting ways the candle interacts with the actual game world.
There could be a situation where the candle can be used to light an obstacle on fire, at the risk of somehow accidentally extinguishing the candle instead
Jerma has been virtually absent for the entirety of Hawk Tuah's presence as a meme so hearing him say it is the equivalent of when a modern reboot of an old classic uses contemporary technology. It's like seeing Popeye use an iPhone.
16:46 The scene where he finally acknowledges the abuse he has been put through for all these years is so beautiful in how it's shot in how (sob) sorry... sorry... ... In how it is composed and (sob) (sniff) And in the song (full blown crying).
Watching Jerma absolutely ace a bullet hell game he's just loaded up for the first time whilst he does an entire bit on T H E C A N D L E and under the pressure of thousands of people really goes to show that he doesn't get enough credit for what he does :)
I feel like if you made The Candle you could get Jerma to pay you by guilting him going "Hey man you said this was gonna do numbers but it really hasn't and I sorta used up a lot of time making this so like..."
The Candle sounds exactly like the kind of game where certain video essayists would spend a lot of time explaining its "unrecognized genius" while anyone who actually played it beforehand would call it shit
it tries new things, like the dev gracing us with his narration and drip-feeding you an ambiguous message that you can't act upon also in reality, the difficulty isn't the game but... you?? like your expectations of a video game are so restrictive because you expect it to be good also you just don't understand because the meta-game is the community and if you think they're gassing each other up and discussing a complete nothing-burger then you _really_ don't understand art
i just sensed someone thinking "why doesn't the dev just write a book or a movie, or huff his own farts like he badly wants to?" HE'S STRETCHING THE MEDIUM OF VIDEO GAMING AND WHAT A GAME CAN BE OKAY!?? WHO CARES IF YOUR INTERACTIVE EXPERIENCE IS 2 HOURS OF HOLDING W?

No clue how he thought 'meat extension' was a good thing to say. Even more baffled he didn't get embarrassed when chat inevitably called him out for it.
28:06 apparently we were NOT made for Guggita-Guggita, but he WAS MADE FOR idle coin-tapping games, that's his true purpose in life. What an insight into the meaning of life itself
Jerma so clearly wants to keep creating, all we gotta do is convince him to make Jerm Inc. with AT LEAST 3 grotto beasts spin off games and other ideas he's had for stream content turned into games.
Unironically I think the main premise for The Candle could make a really cool indie game if you cut the game time down to like, 30 minutes or so. It could also benefit from some way to extend the candles life, like maybe instead of a candle it could be an oil latern and you have to be looking for oil to refuel it for the whole game while you're also looking for other stuff, or maybe you can collect other unlit candles that you can transfer the flame to if the original candle is almost out. It also would make things interesting if you could set the candle down on tables so you can use other items, but maybe there are enemies that are drawn to the candles light and will try to put it out if you leave it unprotected. It would also be cool if you could use the candle in puzzles, like using it to light lanterns that activate secret passages Legend of Zelda style, or setting something flammable on fire. It could also be used in combat, like maybe you can find the materials to make a Molotov cocktail in a kitchen, and you have to choose wisely when to use it because you can only find one or a couple throughout the whole game. Some roguelike elements may also be good to avoid repetitiveness when you inevitably have to start over multiple times; you could have it take place in a castle where you awaken in a dungeon with just the candle and your bed, and each time you restart the rooms shift so you'll get different areas and items each time. There could be some spooky lore about why that happens but im not smart enough to come up with that right now. tl;dr i know it was basically just a bit but also I think the candle idea is not a terrible premise for a game if it was fleshed out more.

That phenomenon is called "Motion Aftereffect". Basically your brain adapts to motion in one direction as a kind of new baseline, then takes some time to adapt back to normal.
you CAN sprint in the candle, but if you hold sprint for more than a second or two the candle goes out and you die
fuckin half life two dot exe crashes to desktop
3-4 seconds MAX and you can see the flame sputtering and going out as you sprint
@@jacobg2662 its put in purely for immersion's sake and to punish the player for trying to finish the experience faster.
No, not die, you have to play the rest of the game in the dark. Dying defeats the purpose because then the candle is just a health bar.
@SolaireIntensifies if the candle goes out you DIE

He opened a new one lets gooo bro lets donate again
He's almost there bro next time for sure
There's like 10 different jerma fans that know how to work unity working on The Candle right now I guarantee it.
if anyone's started, i know unity and im mediocre at pixel art
7% dont forget
God I hope this story arc continues until we see those games
Might end up making it in Godot as a joke project lmao

When Jerma started on his dog food rant, I was seriously expecting him to admit he's eaten it on more than two occasions.
Jerma has been virtually absent for the entirety of Hawk Tuah's presence as a meme so hearing him say it is the equivalent of when a modern reboot of an old classic uses contemporary technology. It's like seeing Popeye use an iPhone.
okay so he wants to make a mix of Pathologic and Fear & Hunger in a "way too hard and a pain to play" type of game
A clicker game AND a gambling game? Surprised Jerma didn't kill anyone in his excitement.

Of course Jerma gets hooked on the Family-Guy-The-Quest-For-Stuff-like
Takes him back to his roots
I love how easy he thinks it would be to make a 4 hour long game that everyone completes in exactly 4 hours
It's an on-rails shooter like those dinosaur games you'll see in arcades except it lasts four hours and you only get two bullets
I think part of the experience is that you might not
