Like many fandoms, BATIM had a special Tumblr tag for NSFW content before the Tumblr Purge. This voice was not heard in any of the previous uploads before Dec 2018. However, there is a high pitched singing voice at the beginning of all the Bendy shorts (except Cookie Cookin) that were re-uploaded by Joey Drew Studios on Youtube, staring December 24, 2018. Though fans write Bendy as talking, he never actually speaks in any of the canon material. In the game itself, the personality of Bendy's skeletal and beast forms are unknown.

This contrasts Bendy's canonical personality, as in Bendy's shorts, he is seen to be rather timid and dense. There is a common theme among BATIM fans, in which they write Bendy as cocky and with a Boston accent. Other fan character designs are wholly original, and may be human, animal, or supernatural. It's not unheard of to simply take Bendy's design and re-name him. Frequently, fan characters take on the appearance of cartoon Bendy himself, with or without a few adjustments. Numerous fan characters have been created. A majority of fan art is created by minors, while fan music is usually composed and sung by adults. The ending has caused much confusion and theorizing among fans.īendy and the Ink Machine is popular with children and teenagers, like games such as Hello Neighbor or Five Nights at Freddy's. However, after Bendy seems to die in a flash of light, Henry is suddenly thrown into what looks like the "real world" and meets up with Joey Drew. From there the trio makes their way through the bowels of the studio and puts an end to Bendy. Evil Alice dies directly after at the hands of the good Alice and her own Boris. After chapter 2 Henry becomes friends with Boris the wolf, however Alice corrupts him and Henry ultimately has to kill him. In chapter 2 he meets Sammy Lawrence, who was the old music director, and in chapter 3 he meets the evil Alice Angel. The game is split into 5 chapters, with each chapter having Henry move through a specific part of the studio and usually meeting a new character. This machine has the ability to bring cartoons to life, but as Henry comes to find, with a price. The building is falling apart, and Joey Drew had a giant "ink machine" installed. Once he arrives, he quickly realizes that major changes took place after he'd quit. Henry Stein, a former animator, was asked to return via letter by his ex-boss Joey Drew.
#BENDY AND THE INK MACHINE CHAPTER 5 STORY BOARDS UPDATE#
The final model update took his guts away, making him an inky skeletal figure with a constant drip, and slight chromatic aberration around the mouth.īendy and the Ink Machine takes place roughly in the 1960s, 30 years after the events at Joey Drew Studios. Then, he was updated to be a walking humanoid with a limp, and strands of ink stuck on parts of his body. He did not have to move past the jump scare at the beginning, so this wasn't a major issue. In the original demo, Bendy's model was nothing but a torso and head, described as being "bird poop" by its creators. The most notable updates that took place were to the Bendy model itself. These include visual updates, such as new models and animations, to improved optimization, as well as a new form of game play after chapter 5's release.

Game Updatesĭuring the two years in which chapters were released, Bendy and the Ink Machine took on a number of updates. He then hired on a second staff member, Mike Mood, to fix the coding and help with modeling. Quickly after release, he changed 'demo' to 'chapter one,' spawning a fan base eagerly awaiting updates. TheMeatly, who is a living, breathing puppet, conjured up the original demo alone. The popularity of the game encouraged him to expand on it, resulting in a 5 chapter series. Its creator is theMeatly, who originally released the first chapter as a demo. Bendy and the Ink Machine is a episodic video game released for PC, before being ported to Xbox One, Android, and iOS.
