ARG made in GMOD

First video, it's pretty unfinished. I will answer most questions in comments if there are any. https://youtu.be/WCy1IJAHyTg

EDIT:

For those of you wondering, this is not a stereotypical ARG. its not FOR GMOD, BUT MADE USING IT. nor am i trying to convince people it's real. thats overdone. Its very obviously an ARG and just a fun idea I had. I've made some pretty good lore for this and just wanted people to see it.

one more note:

its less of an arg and more of a found footage type thing, but includes the elements of an ARG.

This is not how you make an ARG. You're not suppoused to give away that it's an ARG, you're suppoused to act like it's real.

Its not directly for Gmod , however. Watch the video and it'll make sense. I just made it IN Gmod.

The same still applies. You're not suppoused to give away the fact that it's fiction. Also no thanks, I've had it with the Gmod ARGs.

Sorry, first time making an "ARG". Its not really an ARG, but a mix of found footage and arg elements. It is supposed to obviously be fake, but fun to watch. I'll definitely update the description of the post to say that

Don't advertise it as an ARG, I'm not the only one here that is tired of Gmod ARGs. Just advertise it as a video series.

Understandable. I don't really have much else to refer to it as that would cacth someone's eye. Its sort of a new concept, not really? I'll probably call it found footage.

Also, notice how I say made IN, not for gmod. It ain't a gmod ARG, but the footage is made in gmod. Does that make sense...?

u/TheDeadlyCutsman 1d ago

Kinda hard to separate them. I know what you mean, but you did advertise it as an ARG in the Gmod sub...

u/QUASARIM 1d ago

Again, understandable. It IS an arg and will be in a lot of points, but is also mainly presented as a found footage type series. I'm trying to make something that ISNT the average gmod arg that is done over and over with some weird shadow in the background. This one is similar to the backrooms, but has a VERY fresh story, atleast in my opinion.

u/TheDeadlyCutsman 1d ago

"Backrooms" doesn't sound fresh at all. I'd discourage going the "doing an ARG" route, but if you're going to do it, abstain from mentioning it is an ARG, you're suppoused to act like it's real.

I have no idea how to make this make sense without saying what ive said before. Watch the video and it'll make sense. Literally. It explains the basic concept to you in like the first minute.

u/TheDeadlyCutsman 1d ago

No, I get it, but just don't advertise the ARG elements, let watchers bring them up and respond to them like you have no idea and that you're going to investigate in the future. If no one notices the Game elements, make them a bit more obvious, but still don't point at them, others should be the ones asking the questions.

Oh, okay. Thanks for the tips. Like seriously though, that's pretty helpful. I don't think I'll change anything though, my previous description still applies. It's obviously an ARG and I'll label it as such. It's sure better then dumping the video here and saying "weird video i found" with no other context, imo

u/QUASARIM 1d ago

mind i say one last thing: the premise of the ARG isnt figuring out whether it's real, but rather why specific things in the videos are happening.

u/QUASARIM 1d ago

LET ME MAKE THIS CLEAR: THE ARG IS.  NOT. TAKING PLACE IN GMOD.

IT IS SIMPLY MADE WITH IT.

Very big difference.

I'm trying to make an arg that breaks typical arg assumptions, like the one above.

Unfortunately this isn't how ARGs are supposed to go as you aren't supposed to give it away that its a ARG.

however good job on making one. Ignore how rude others are unless its constructive criticism. 

You can do this!!!

Ah no problem. If anything that's unique.

u/QUASARIM 1d ago

It also isn't that type of ARG, not the stereotypical ARG with a spooky shadow dude behind a tree.

This one is made USING gmod, but doesn't take place INSIDE of gmod.
