Attached are some screenshots / teasers from The “Virtual” Gathering event. Along with a document offering more specific information about the event.
The game’s map is an exact replica of the Nelson Ledges Quarry Park, where the physical Gathering was scheduled to take place.
Players will be able to enjoy seeing ICP on stage (or jump right on the stage to join them), throw 2-liters of Faygo either at each other, off to the sky, or off the stage during a virtual Faygo-Gedden (something that’s done at the end of each and every ICP show).
Players will also be able to play games in a virtual fair, which will include a Tilt-A-Whirl, Ferris Wheel, House of Mirrors maze, along with an Arcade featuring two separate video games based on the final Joker’s card in the first deck: The Wrath.
Arcade Games:
Jump Into The Light: Shangri-La: This game is an obstacle course for players to jump their way through a story about reaching the Dark Carnival.
Who Can Survive Hell’s Pit: This game is a side scrolling platformer where players will run through the gauntlet of hell to save fellow Juggalos who were trapped in the Hell’s Pit arcade game itself.
Attendees will be able to compete against each other and show off their high scores on a leaderboard during the event.
This event is completely free to everyone on the Roblox platform. Roblox (https://www.roblox.com) is also free to use and only requires a user to create an account.
Why This Is Free:
The game has been left in alpha and is free to play due to a copywrite issue with playing ICPs music in-game. None of that has affected the games functionality, but most non-playable characters will be running around naked. I wasn’t able to include ICP songs, however, to circumvent that, I’ve created a YouTube playlist spanning the past 20 years of ICPs music (around 12 hours of music). I hope fans listen to this playlist, or their own playlist, while playing the game to have a better experience. In the end, this game serves as a glimpse into a different way to enjoy an artist’s music.
