Although a sprite does exist of Meat Boy outside the Pre-Release collage, it is currently unknown about Team Meat's thoughts on his inclusion. Due to Trevor later stating he would personally thinking that Dr. Fetus would be overall easier to make a moveset for, the chances for Meat Boy as a playable character is less likely.

''Castle Crashers'' is a 2008 beat 'em up sidescroller by The Behemoth. A pitch for the game's knights was released, revealing that the playable representative from the game was going to be "Green Knight" brandishing what appears to be the game's "Thin Sword" (the knight's starting weapon).

Revision as of 16:27, 9 October 2019

This article is about the various pitches made for Indie Pogo, successful or not.

DISCLAIMER: Please remember that content pitches made by anyone outside of Lowe Bros. Studios is not advised, as it may deter certain studios. More often than not, these end up failing.

Successful Pitches

In 2019, Bit unofficially created artwork of Brad, the protagonist of LISA: The Painful RPG in Indie Pogo's aesthetic, which was officially approved by the game's creator. Official confirmation by Austin Jorgensen can be found here.

Main article : Octodad

KidIndiePogo

On October 9th, 2019, Bit created artwork of The Kid, the protagonist of I Wanna Be The Guy in Indie Pogo's aesthetic, which like the Brad pitch, was successful. Official confirmation by Kayin can be found here.

Unsuccessful Pitches

Pre-Release

DGO5EFtXUAAs7qx

A handful of pitches have been made to several different studios throughout the game's development.

Beginning in the game's pre-release period, several characters were illustrated as pitches. Those with a star present above their portraits were to be included in the final game, although some of these characters have yet to appear in any form.

Meat Boy

Meat Boy

"Bc tbh, I feel like it’d be easier to make a moveset for Dr. Fetus. And that’s not a weakness of your skills. It’s just Dr. Fetus has more to pull from than Meatboy does unfortunately." ― Trevor's thoughts on Meat Boy and Dr. Fetus.

Originally a 2008 Flash game, the Meat Boy series is a infamously hard platformer, where you control the titular Meat Boy to navigate through very danger-ridden areas to save Bandage Girl from the clutches of Dr. Fetus. The game later gained sequels in the form of Super Meat Boy and the upcoming Super Meat Boy Forever, developed by Team Meat.

Although a sprite does exist of Meat Boy outside the Pre-Release collage, it is currently unknown about Team Meat's thoughts on his inclusion. Due to Trevor later stating he would personally thinking that Dr. Fetus would be overall easier to make a moveset for, the chances for Meat Boy as a playable character is less likely.

DKliHjFWAAAPHTl

Castle Crashers

Castle Crashers is a 2008 beat 'em up sidescroller by The Behemoth. A pitch for the game's knights was released, revealing that the playable representative from the game was going to be "Green Knight" brandishing what appears to be the game's "Thin Sword" (the knight's starting weapon).

It was revealed by Lowe Bros. that the characters' inclusion was neither supported nor dismissed by The Behemoth. This is possibly due to the game's character designs and music tracks being developed by several different people from the Newgrounds community, several of whom no longer have any web presence.

Octane

Octane

Rocket League is a game by Psyonix, with gameplay that can be described as "soccer with cars". A pitch for the game's default car (known as Octane) was made, likely in response to a meme started by the YouTuber Alpharad in regards to the indie platform fighter, Rivals of Aether (which is represented in Indie Pogo).

Although Octane has been neither confirmed nor deconfirmed, it is unlikely it will make it into Indie Pogo at this point, due to Psyonix being bought by Epic Games.

Spelunker

Spelunker

Spelunky is a 2008 platformer developed by Derek Yu. A pitch for the game's protagonist, Spelunker, was made. It is unclear what its developer thought about the pitch, though it appears to have been unsuccessful.

Nicalis Cameos

Nicalis

A official collaboration between Lowe Bros. and Bit, several characters owned by Nicalis were displayed in an Indie Pogo aesthetic. Though met with great enthusiasm by fans, this pitch appears to have been unsuccessful.

Although not directly deconfirmed, due to controversies surrounding Nicalis in late 2019, it is unlikely that any franchise owned directly by Nicalis will appear in Indie Pogo currently.
