I Turned the Backrooms into a VR Game... 

Ayyye, *sound & music guy for the game here!* First off, Fancy, I absolutely love how you put my little hound line at 4:51 lmao It's such an honor working hard with you since you're so chill, and I'm really excited to continue chipping away at more sfx and soundtracks! Even more excited to hear my voice chasing some more DE-vidrs. >:D (And thank you for letting me help with this vid's audio, it means the world!) Working in a game like this, especially on this _sheer scale,_ is nothing short of my dream job. I genuinely can't thank you enough for making this possible (and enjoyable at that!) for not only me, but every single player. 💙

Im surprised how he can develop and edit a game by himself so fast

Imagine just finishing a quick backrooms gaming session just to take off the headset and see moist carpet, bright yellow lights and never ending walls

this man really designed a virtual portal to the real backrooms and expected us to not notice

His motivation in making the updates for his game *AND* his devlogs would even make Vergil and Dani wanna work with him. Not Vergil but only Dani cuz he's been missing for a year and Fancy here constantly updates his game and channel every 2 or 3 months

You know you should make the thing on level 7 bigger. Because from what I know, the explorers who saw that creature have said that it's impossibly big and even it's head seems to be a few miles in terms of size. Now I know that making it unimaginably big would probably be hard, but at least make it 30 or 40 feet in size. That would be great you know. And also please make it big enough so that it can swallow the entire boat with the player on it

He develops a game update faster than Danny Gonzalez’s hair grows, which I thought was impossible.

Playing this in VR would be simply horrifying.

I was skeptical at first, but the amount of content you are pouring in this project is mindblowing. Thank you for your efforts.

Can we all just appreciate that Fancy makes the BEST Backrooms Game there could ever be? Every new level feels like a "found footage" video, as it´s so so well done in every aspect. - He puts in so much work and listens to the critics while constantly updating in an enormous speed. I truly love this game so much as it´s the only thing that ever gave me more than just jumpscares. It´s honestly dreadful and nothing ever filled me with so much angst before. (Kudos for that) Keep up the awesome work, I´ll love all future levels besides my constant heart attacks.

This is actually really cool, and it’s fun to see the development. You should make the fishy guy bigger and give it a swim animation! I think it would make it spookier

the small bit with the mention of " returning to what backrooms were always meant to be " gives me hope for a no entity mode . PLEASE make that happen , i adore liminal spaces and id love to explore them without the constant danger around

I honestly can’t wait until the full game comes out dude, keep working hard Fancy!!

This guys is the goat, he loves to hear feedback and his editing skills are too good to be true

One of the most enjoyable devlog content creators I've ever seen. I really love your videos and I'm excited to see how much your game develops! You're a great inspiration for me :)

I remember reading wiki, with all these cool levels and thought "Man, that would've been an amazing Vr experience. I wish there was a game like that" I'm so surprised to find out that you made my dream come true

Add a 'look back' button/option, so when your running you can see what or who's chasing you.

Fancy is like the best programmer I've ever seen

Imagine going underwater to find the cave and you hear "Detecting multiple leviathan class lifeforms in the region. Are you certain whatever you're doing is worth it?"

Fancy, when I first watched your first escape the backrooms video I was really surprised, seemed like a cool game then you added new levels, the pool rooms, giant levels so I asked myself why not try the game I bought it, completed it (until now) and I 100% recommend to play it. One of the best games I've ever played You're an amazing creator

It's crazy that this amazing game was made by one person someone give this man a raise yesterday! Or a hound will no clip into your room

I would love the idea of adding connected levels and many paths to choice. For example walking into X wall in X level makes you nocliped into X level instead of only going to X exit which was directly designated. I know its all about time and it would probably take so long time that u would do that for 2040 and 25th update but it would still be a cool idea. Thanks for the game tho surely cause its the best backrooms game ever made and it imrpooved really much from the beginning to nowadays and i hope you will make progression like that always.

the fact that escape the backrooms is still in early access and already has that much lvls is crazy

I really hope that the system of mimics will be reworked, they will behave more naturally, bunnyhop, appearing from the corner where the comrade has just entered. The unexpected appearance behind your backs of your friends and the imitation of their movements, so that you do not have time to realize that there are only two of you, but someone is standing behind him. Moreover, you can create them at a random moment in any room, the main thing is not to overdo it. I really like your game, thanks for everything you do!

I can’t believe that this man can manage to animate a buttload of commentary animations within 2 months

Personally, I would suggest making the entity of level 7 way way larger, the article mentions it is capable of swallowing a human whole, it doesn't state that it can't also swallow the boat the guy is on

imagine taking off the headset and you're still in the backrooms

A console port of this game would actually be amazing

I can't wait for the randomly generated rooms to be added. Love your game man.

1:13 got me laughing but also terrified at the same time, the way they just twist they're head like that- 😂

this guy started with a decently serviceable backrooms game, did well enough to probably live comfortably for a while, and decided "nah, we aint done" and is on track to making this BY FAR the best backrooms game

I recommend that for level 7, you make it so the player can possibly find the cave on the shallower deep parts, but you should definitely make the thing a ton larger, and make darker areas you can dive into that go almost pitch black as you go, like the actual level. And as you go deeper, you can find more human skeletons *That* is the fear called thalassophobia

I think "liminal" mode and the ability to select which levels are accessible in a save would be interesting 'mods' / 'advanced settings' "liminal mode" leans into the classic-backrooms style with no entities, more sparse decoration, etc. Limiting which levels are accessible would allow people to disable levels they don't like _or_ for that one guy, only allow level 0.

You should try to add your game to the oculus store to also let others try your amazing game

Dude! Absolutely amazing work on this game!! Me and a few of my friends just finished the game and are ready to try it in vr! One suggestion, though I absolutely loved thalassophobia, canonically the thing is much larger. While it’s still one of my favorite levels, that would be a great improvement! Also, by the way, while this game is an absolute masterpiece, if you want to stick to a canonically correct backrooms for the game, I recommend using the wikidot backrooms page as opposed to the wiki fandom. While some of the info on the fandom is correct, a lot of levels and entities have been drastically changed or even completely removed since anyone can change the fandom page. The wikidot is managed much better and major changes and new levels or entities have to be approved by the admins and creators of the page. It’s widely thought of as the canon wiki page for the backrooms as most levels have not been changed since they were created, and all levels are made carefully, making sure they do not interfere or contradict other levels’ physics or logic. The wikidot also has a lot more info on the lore and backstory to certain levels. Anyways good luck with development, love your game!!! Here is a link to the wikidot page: backrooms-wiki.wikidot.com

Your game is just beautiful, I have already passed it 4 times with friends and we are waiting for a new level :)

You have done such a great job on your game. You should try making it playable on console which may be hard so i would understand why you might not be able to do it. But yeah 👍

This mans just so underrated he updates his game a lot and also edits these videos Give this man some respect

Bought It for me and my friend , we had a blast playing it , loved the Maps and sound design , can't wait for the next updates as for now the game is pretty short 😊

Something that would be cool for the exits of level 0 is if he separated the level 0 exits into 3 different exits, the vent takes you to level 0.1, The door takes you to level 0.2, and the glitch wall takes you to level 1. But hopefully he makes something like this 😁

fancy is immortal he never dies by designing back rooms ☠💀

Keep on pushing! If you added vr for this game alone you should be able to add raytracing! Maybe even in the future add map randomizer seeds! You did all this yourself, Getting an entire company (not a greedy one like EA) working on it would be insane. Imagine a Triple A backrooms game. The potential is insane! You already surpassed the rest of the BR games.

I hope you dont leave this game to die out KEEP UPDATING this is one of my favorite games!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love how this guy is like teaching us how to make a game but also being funny

You’re on track to be a millionaire with this game if you keep up these updates. The potential is actually huge for this project

This Man Is Incredible He Makes Us Laugh So Much

Hey what if you added mod support? This will definitely boost the popularity of your game, and it would allow people to turn your game into something incredible

You should make it so there are multiple exits in each level and each can lead to a different level. Kinda like how in the lore you can get to the pool rooms through a slide in level one and some other ways

It started as a challenge of making backrooms in 1 week ..... And now it's a whole series

Man, this is INSANE! Incredible job on the game and the VR system looks great. Can’t wait to see this game when it’s done!

Your ideas are insane i love your work !!

As a VR enthusiast with a nice PC, I appreciate the effort to put your game into VR! I hadn't heard of the game til this video and probably wouldn't be interested in it if it didn't have VR support. I'll add it to my wishlist and see if my friends are interested in playing it.

jesus.. this game is gonna be gigantic isnt it? this easily is the most hype ive felt for a indie game, especially since its gonna be non linear eventually

Even though im not even into coding, I kept watching these videos on repeat. Absoloutely phenomonal story-telling. I do reccomend level 13, level 46 and level 606 to be in the game, since i feel like level 13 and level would be neat and dev-freindly since u already have a lot of the entities, and 606 just for more hellholes. Level 933 and level 6.1 would be amazing to see in the game, but it'd probably be at least a bit hard to work with. keep doing what u do

Man you should keep adding and adding to this game Because I absolutely love it's absolutely amazing So I hope you keep updating the game

this is probably the most accurate backrooms game I've ever seen, and it seems it's going to get even better with the idea of non-linear progression and canonical entrances and exits to different levels. I hate games that do it to where it's just make it to the end of one level and now you're in a completely different level for no reason, so I'm glad to see a change of pace with this one

Dude, me and my friends have been loving this game. They just tried the VR update, yeah has it's bugs but still fun as hell they said. Keep up the good work !

Can't wait to see Charlie, Ranboo, and Tommy play their 3rd episode on this game in vr

Man you're awesome, what do you think about using an AI's API to generate the backrooms levels randomly?

I recommend you make some real empty and liminal space levels. This is good idea!

Gotta say great work though if possible I would actually like that you could go to different levels like the fun level through natural means like an uneven wall transporting you there since in the backrooms you can go to multiple levels from different levels through different means like 4 to 6 and a way to go to 2 from 7

VRchat has a good locomotion method for avoiding motion sickness. They have normal smooth locomotion and snap rotation, but they also have an option that is effectively a teleport for the player's camera, while the character model moves at normal speed in whatever direction is pressed. Could be worth looking into something like that.

i wish more levels in the backrooms will have the ending

your levels are amazing fancy keep up the good work

On level zero a slightly damaged door takes you to level 444, which is a class 5 unsafe insecure entity infestation that has all entities from other back rooms levels. It changes it’s walls and floor appearance every 47-57 minutes. You should really add it though

I’m wondering, when more levels come by, will it be a story mode with an ending like most other games, or be how the actual back rooms work with no end, and you can just go to different levels. That will probably be too difficult, and a lot of problems will come with that, but I want to see someone who is skilled to be able to do that.

I think that level 144 would fit this game well and provide an interesting yet scary challenge 😎👍

I love when the developer is chill and joking with the community

Just bought this game and I've had a good time playing so far though I had a hard time on the electrical station. Keep it up!

Man this is the most exciting backrooms game and I love your videos where you show upcoming and new features keep up the good work you are really talented so excited to see where the game goes and what its like when its completed finished!

Keep up the great work man and make more levels for vr so I can scream like a lady about to be murdered in a horror movie

true respect for luke smith who made fancy add vr support into the game, what a legend

Scare factor just went up by 5 with vr 😳

Loving how this game is being rolled out on time despite how massive game companies take years to make worse

I have been really interested in back rooms lore for a while, but have been disappointed to see most games not follow the lore. You, on the other hand, follow the lore pretty close, and I am really excited to play this game, but I have to convince my 2 friends to play with me.

As someone with thalassophobia, I can confirm that is indeed scary

Best game dev, looking forward to the update already :D

How does he make it look so easy and not frustrating at all??

Make it so multiple players can be on 1 boat. If there are at least 2 onboard the ship can move faster. You can also add the saint mary into the level as a alternate exit.

i bought this game a while back and holy it is amazing the mechanics, the entities, the levels, the gameplay, and especcially the horror, everything about this level is just amazing

your dedication to your game and general silliness is appreciated

He has to add this to the quest, I know it’s gonna be hard to have it on a standalone version would be hard, but it’ll be fun asf.

it`s insane dude!!!! I will wait for the next update, I seriously love your game!

you need trim pieces for the walls to make it have a more realistic feel.

bro this developer just made a video that was really entertaining, he legit seem like a content creator

The amount of effort you put into not only the game itself but the videos you make is admirable

imagine how cool it would be if the game was compatible with the meta quest 2

You should make a co-op survival mode, with escape routes in backrooms levels that "supposedly" send you back to reality.

Hey, you should add retro graphics as a setting because I think it'll make the game scarier.

I LOVE THE GAME it is so fun to play with friends and i am very excited to see what comes next worth the money.

i played your magnificent game and i gotta tell you fancy, you really inspired me to make my own backrooms game, mine's more humor based and has a friendly robot named aiden. he beats up enemies so you can escape. There is also a frowner named Yancy who beats up entities for you if you give him candy. feel free to use either if you want and keep being awesome

You should make the skin stealers able to steal and hold your ID if they kill you while you're holding it out, to make it more interesting and also maybe punish players that decide "Let's all hold our ID's out constantly, then we'll never have any problems".

i dont think you can die from motion sickness lmao i love how u keep making videos about this journey, i enjoyed the game and honeslty found out about this after I finished it but still amazing job! edit: this is why i never comment before finishing a video this is like the only time I did it and yea.

I think it would be cool if the Skin Stealers could mimic the voice of players they've killed though, something similar to 939 from Secret Lab, where the last few seconds of the mic is recorded and played back. How would this help? Imagine a playing running towards you screaming and saying run, you'd obviously run but if you look behind you, you see the Skin Stealer instead of your friend

you should add party poopers,The Partypoopers were Entities that resided on Level 52 on Room #172. They were usually known for their polarity with the Partygoers and their peace-loving nature, The Partypoopers were entities that were very humanitarian. These creatures were willing to save human explorers and guide them into their base, "The Boredom Room". The Partypoopers used to be friends with their refugees and were very passive. However, if you tried to attack a Partypooper, They would grab you by your arms and legs, and sacrifice you to the Partygoers. A Partypooper appears as a man wearing a black jacket and jeans, a hood, and black sneakers. Their face is covered with a blue mask with a sad face on them. The true appearance of a Partypooper is unknown because they will refuse to take their jacket or hood off. And if someone says, "no no party poopers are extinct he cant add it to the game" well they were not extinct before the Fun war so look at the date at 4:13

Wow! What a cool game. I saw lots of players playing it! Gonna go install it right now. *Nevermind.*

This guy is legit like the son of dani, always making fire games by him self

Timestamps Levels: 2:57 Level 7 5:50 Level 8 7:38 Level 188 Entities: 3:47 The Thing on Level 7

You actually know how to make the video in good format. BUT Go up to 4K 60fps with HDR I will thank you very much

wait im actually surprised this game was made by 1 person, you did like crazy good for a single person
