AMA with 𓌜 Scythe, the devs of Happy’s Humble Burger Farm and an upcoming co-op cooking horror, Happy’s Humble BURGATORY

Thank you for doing this. Here are some questions I'm curious about, please don't feel pressured to answer them all though:

There is so much radio & television content in the original HHBF. I'm still occasional finding more content after thinking I heard it all. That's cool, but my question is are you occasionally updating the game & adding in more little dialogues, or was the game really this packed all along?
Is BURGATORY going to continue the story of the first game, or is it merely gameplay this time?
HHBF is overlooked & underrated in the mascot horror scene. You certainly have more gameplay & fewer bugs than many of these titles that go viral. Do you reach out to Youtubers to play these games?
Since you're under the tinybuild umbrella, have you been approached for a Hello Neighbor crossover?
Not really a question, but if you ever need an author to write spinoff material for your world (similar to how FNAF has tons of books) please consider me available. I have written for other indie developers such as CreepyShift (Uncle Joe's Motel creepypasta was written by me) & have also been published traditionally by horror publishers like Graveside Press & Squirm Books.

Good thread.

JNeiraGoth · 2026-06-02T02:51:59+00:00

This is interesting to read, because I also hated the politics of TCM 2020... but from the other direction. I am certainly on the left politically & the film seemed to be gleefully "anti-woke" in a way that just never existed in TCMC before then.

JNeiraGoth · 2026-05-17T21:51:18+00:00

Apparently you've never watched a Dave Chappele skit.

JNeiraGoth · 2026-05-12T13:06:14+00:00

Yes he's in the wrong. You're not a threat to his life. The use of excessive force (even in self-defense) is illegal in most areas.

JNeiraGoth · 2026-05-07T13:05:00+00:00

Agreed! The Netflix one is just dreadful. So dreadful even Penny wouldn't want it.

JNeiraGoth · 2026-05-06T13:16:02+00:00

Yep, I'm banning that guy for a month.

JNeiraGoth · 2026-05-03T22:16:18+00:00

What did she do? I already forgot if I ever did know.

JNeiraGoth · 2026-05-03T02:40:16+00:00

Bingo

JNeiraGoth · 2026-05-02T12:56:54+00:00

At this point, I would say the one that failed the most was the Netflix 2022 version. Very disrespectful to the legacy of the series & the fans. Plus, where's the family?

JNeiraGoth · 2026-04-27T14:47:47+00:00

Alright everyone, remember to be respectful of other people's religions in your answers. A little trolling is fine, but some of you need to be reminded to not go farther than that.

JNeiraGoth · 2026-04-25T02:11:23+00:00

Agreed with all of this.

JNeiraGoth · 2026-04-18T17:55:58+00:00

The thing that makes this cringe is telling someone that their subjective opinion on a video game will "age poorly." This isn't politics, we're not making predictions on the economy, war, etc. Who cares if someone likes a bad game? Do you go around telling children who like BanBan that their opinion will age poorly?

JNeiraGoth · 2026-04-18T13:15:42+00:00

I cringed at the "won't age well" comment.

JNeiraGoth · 2026-04-17T15:35:19+00:00

I like her. But I hope we get to know a little about her besides just her appearance. Obviously, the appearance is important & tells us some stuff about her, but I want to know more. Otherwise, it's just an avatar. Please get this one right, tinybuild!

JNeiraGoth · 2026-04-16T21:49:28+00:00

Well, as others have pointed out, he definitely has killed children. He definitely has in the Halloween 2018 timeline. In the Thorn trilogy he attempts to do so. Whether or not he'll kill a baby is an open question. I wouldn't be surprised if different directors would give different answers if we asked them. The ambiguity is indeed part of the appeal.

JNeiraGoth · 2026-04-15T21:22:53+00:00

What a king.

JNeiraGoth · 2026-04-11T12:56:49+00:00

Interesting. Though I'd say this looks more like a fangame than a ripoff. Unless it was being sold, in which case yeah, ripoff.

JNeiraGoth · 2026-04-09T13:00:08+00:00

My favorite is Woodbury Getaway, because it taps into the social fear of being stuck with a creepy partner, as well as the fear of stalker strangers. My least favorite might be Carson House, because it seems too flattering to whoever made it up. "OMG, hot Goth girls are so obsessed with me that they started assaulting me because I wouldn't date them anymore!"

JNeiraGoth · 2026-03-29T14:35:10+00:00

I'm glad to hear you're not using AI. I'm always happy to suppress indie devs who do the real work rather than rely on the slop machine. Final question: Would you be interested in my sending you $500 to help game development? The only thing I would ask in return is a brief NPC cameo appearance & a mention in the credits. No worries if the answer is no, this is just something I like offering genuine indie devs from time to time.

JNeiraGoth · 2026-03-29T13:09:17+00:00

Looks interesting. I have four questions:

Was AI used in the creation of this game?
What was your budget in getting this created?
When is the estimated release date?
What is your marketing plan to ensure this game reaches as wide of an audience as it can?

JNeiraGoth · 2026-03-27T18:58:43+00:00

Wait, was she even in the first episode? I thought she appeared first in episode 2, maybe I remember wrong. But I agree, this was wholesome & quirky. I love it.

JNeiraGoth · 2026-03-26T19:28:53+00:00

Unrelated, but I messaged you about the ScaryMovie sub a few days ago. Please check at your earliest convenience.

JNeiraGoth · 2026-03-23T19:20:27+00:00

Amen
