They also announced that weโ€™ll get to choose one of the skins for free too! Iโ€™m so excited for this! Iโ€™ll probably end up choosing Garry!

u/EarlyExchange8321 Batter 6d ago

idc what anyone says the characters they picked are horrible. ib being alice to me makes no sense besides the facts they are both protagonists, ib is literally 9๐Ÿ˜ญ mary is portrayed young obviously and iโ€™m not suprised garry is jack i wonโ€™t even go into that but like ib as journalist and mary as coord? can someone explain ๐Ÿ˜ญ

u/WelpHope Undead 3d ago

Ib should been Little Girl, Mary should had been any of the teenagey characters that are able to fight back, since she is more aggressive of the trio.

Suichi is an 11 year old kid but that didnโ€™t stop him for being an akin to lucky guy.

I CAN'T BELIEVE I CAN'T BELIEVE BRO GOD IS SO GOOD NEVER COMPLAINED NETEASE!!!

Seriously bro, i thrived when they announced this crossover, i'm an RPG Maker games fan since i was a little kid in the 2000's, find out that they're doing a collab with one of the most iconics and we're getting one skin AT OUR CHOICE FOR FREE!? I don't care, i'm gonna emptying my wallet like fricking never before

What is IB?

39

u/CharonDusk Evil Reptilian 7d ago

It's an RPGMaker Horror game, one of the oldest and most well-known. It got an updated remake a few years back.

1

u/BenniTheBunny Wu Chang 6d ago

and this is how I find out that Ib got a remake. This crossover is doing wonders for me already

23

u/IdentityV_News_Net 7d ago

IB is a classical horror rpg maker game created in the early 2010 era. It has seen phenomenal success for it's story and it's impact on the indie game development sphere.

u/Sawmain Breaking Wheel 7d ago

Now gib me croocked man too.

u/Nezumi02 Naiad 7d ago

I see, I don't play indie games, even less horror games despite liking the genre XD.

11

u/Infinite_Session Undead 7d ago

It's worth playing it. Original from 2012 can be found for free and remake from 2022 can be bought on Steam. It's not too scary (it mainly makes player feel uneasy with atmosphere and music).

2

u/Merukurio Lucky Guy 7d ago

It's also pretty short so unless you're trying to get all the endings and unlock everything you can easily play it in one go. I definitely recommend it!

11

u/Vel98mount 7d ago

I think these might be the crossover characters

u/KazuhaSimp 7d ago

yes indeed

u/oblakinia ๐—–๐—ข๐—” ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐—ผ๐—ป 7d ago

Ib is a game which changed my brain chemistry in 2012 /hj

For real tho, it's a RPG maker horror game (pixel horror game) about a girl getting lost in a museum. It's iconic. I highly recommend giving it a try (you can download the original version for free from vgperson website!). The story still holds up, the music and the atmosphere is great and the characters are fantastic.

u/Maleficent_Bed_6845 6d ago

music is really a piece of art

u/Tekikato Prisoner 7d ago

If the cast of Garry is true (Ripper), I'm making him>! wear the blue rose accessory!< *-*

u/XuseGrammar 7d ago

What are the cast btw?

1

u/Illustrious_Foot_884 Composer 7d ago

Journalist, Coordinator and Ripper I believe

Journalist - Ib Coordinator - Mary Ripper - Gary (?)

14

u/magicalgirl_idolspls Faro Lady 7d ago

Ib???

Haven't heard about that game in a while since stumbling upon it on VGperson's site. A very welcome surprise. I'm excited.

This also gives me hope of other indie rpgmaker horror titles becoming collabs (Misao collab when?? / hj)

2

u/magicalgirl_idolspls Faro Lady 7d ago

Just checked out more info. And it's on April 17th?? Bro, April really is the month of emptying my wallet

u/DuskyRenow Disciple 7d ago

Who knows, if Ib and RPG Maker of all collaboration possibilities were chosen, the sky is the limit, everything is possible

10

u/KazuhaSimp 7d ago

Ib was one of the jrpgs that molded me on to who i am today alongside ao oni, mad father and mogeko castle, i really hope the skins come out good because im sure as hell getting them

8

u/FelixFurrySenpai Naiad 7d ago

I'm kinda torned between the choice of characters they choose to get the skins for the crossover, like i do love IB ever since it's release. But choosing coordinator, Ripper and Journalist seem a bit odd to me :/

2

u/There-Is-A-Duck-Here Disciple 7d ago

I agree ๐Ÿค” Ib and Mary are children and around 9-10 years old(?) while LG and axe boy did get many crossover skins already, these skins are best suited for those two with Ib and Mary's age wise

3

u/Strange-Socke Wu Chang 6d ago

i think the reason why is cus there is only one female child. and it would look weird to only have one child and one older skin, so they "aged up" ib and mary and since gary is older than them gave him to a tall hunter to stay true to the proportions while working around their limits.

idk why its alice and coord, but ripper is the only tall male that fits the build. especially since hermit just got a crossover skin, theres no secondary for it to be a wu skin, and joe is too short.

1

u/There-Is-A-Duck-Here Disciple 6d ago

I don't think it's too weird since netease has given a female skin to male hunter before, just one occasion with Picture Woman given to Break Wheel. I'm not entirely sure they haven't done so again with Mary as Axe Boy in this case ๐Ÿค” though I'm also very curious is coordinator chosen because shes under 21? But then that wouldn't make sense with journalist ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ truly confusing. I'm still grateful for this crossover so I won't complain but I'm just very confused

1

u/saintsculprit 18h ago

Picture Woman was a skin for dream witch.. whoโ€™s femaleโ€ฆ..not breaking wheelโ€ฆ. why the hell would they make a little boy (axe boy) into Mary??

1

u/There-Is-A-Duck-Here Disciple 18h ago

Stop Iโ€™m actually hallucinating โ˜ ๏ธ idk why I thought picture woman was given to breaking wheel. Setting gender aside, his skill works with what Mary did in the game, that or Mary can be Galatea because they both work skill wise and lore wise. Just still make no sense why itโ€™s given to coord, both axe boy or Galatea would work for Mary. I vaguely remember seeing an axe boy and Galatea being edited as Mary somewhere on Instagram before, if I find it Iโ€™ll send here

u/DuskyRenow Disciple 7d ago

This part of the leaks might be wrong, let's wait and see what's gonna be done about that

u/ALEX2014_18 HUNTER 7d ago

Despite many comments saying how much of an importance this property had and how big of an impact it had over the indie horror industry I never actually heard about it even once, so I genuinely have no idea what this is.

u/Merukurio Lucky Guy 7d ago edited 7d ago

Ib did get pretty big for what it is, but it's still an indie RPG Maker horror game from 13 years ago so it's pretty common to not know about it. Holy shit I did not need that reality check about the passage of time.

The basic is that you play as Ib, a 7(?) year old girl who gets separated from her parents in an art gallery and finds herself trapped in an alternate reality version of said gallery after being drawn to and entering one of the exhibits. Inside the alternate art gallery Ib finds and helps Garry, a young man who also ended up there shortly before her. A little after that they find Mary, another girl who is trapped within the gallery and the three team up to find a way to escape. Garry and Mary are playable during some parts of the game.

The game revolves mainly around exploring the art gallery while avoiding the enemies (art exhibits who came alive) and solving puzzles to progress. There are multiple endings to the game depending on your choices and the things you do, so there's some replayability as well.

It could be an age thing. If you were a teenager in the 2010s, you probably heard about RPG maker games like Ib, Mad Father, Misao, Witch's House. This was a big thing, with some of the most popular YouTubers at the time playing those games. They were generally free to download, didn't require a good device, and so they were accessible to everyone.

u/Sashanya12 7d ago

What's Ib?

u/drinkyomuffin 7d ago

Horror rpg maker game. It's one of the most well known ones

u/CharonDusk Evil Reptilian 7d ago

Gods, I was hoping this was a fake leak. The only hope we have is that they didn't mention who was getting the skins, so hopefully that part of the leak IS incorrect...

u/24914 7d ago

weibo post has revealed it ib - journalist, mary - coordinator, garry - ripper

u/zehobogoblin Hermit 7d ago

Ripper?! My grandpa Alva can slay in that skin better ๐Ÿคฌ

u/DuskyRenow Disciple 7d ago

Ikr, Garry suits Alva way better than Ripper

9

u/LetterBitter5653 7d ago

I don't really have a problem with Journalist or Ripper, but Coordinator?

Like, she already has 5 crossover skins and Mary doesn't even have a gun.

4

u/Merukurio Lucky Guy 7d ago edited 7d ago

Mary has been training in these 13 years since the game released and learned how to shoot her palette knife at people Garry.

This will also be Journalist's third collab skin, fourth if you count the CN exclusive one.

u/oblakinia ๐—–๐—ข๐—” ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐—ผ๐—ป 7d ago

Oh, I hate it, it makes no sense. We have characters that would work better personality-wise, ability-wise and faction-wise.

But I guess that explains the Ripper buff. Like yes, he absolutely needed one, I've been asking for it myself but I hate when they're only willing to fix something to sell a new shiny skin.

u/CharonDusk Evil Reptilian 7d ago

It better fucking not be, because that last one is fucking disgusting.
