Hello weevils!
After 8 long months of drewbian not doing his work on the Bin Weevils YouTube channel, a new video has finally been uploaded and what is this video about? Well, it is of course the 'sneak peek' of their newest game 'Weevil World' which should surely get everyone excited... right? Let's find out shall we?

Ok, what did I just watch? Most of this video was showing nothing but the clueless, deluded staff that we already know who are playing the game pretending it is literally going to be like how genuine Bin Weevils players are going to play it. That's surely no sneak peek as we are all aware of who these people are - even Maybee who the players barely get to even see!
Speaking of the actual brief game footage they showed, 55Pixels seriously must have problems since the things they showed are nothing but re-creations of the passionately hated graphics that we currently see on Bin Weevils! But this time, they have taken it a step further by using a completely old-fashioned 2D layout which looks very similar to the other dying game 'Moshi Monsters' yet again! Do the staff at 55Pixels actually have no idea on how to come up with their own ideas and so they need to just sample ideas elsewhere when it comes to creating new things? Just in who in the right mind would think that using something as basic as 2D would actually work in the year of 2017? Plus, this isn't exactly the Weevil World we saw in 2015 was it?

But oh wait, this is Crater Craft which was supposed to be Weevil World but RENAMED but is now suddenly a different game? I'm just as confused as you are! Looking at this sneak peek photo published in 2015, doesn't it look so much more like a game you would find on your phone in the modern era? Indeed, the graphics and colouring look no good to a player like me who joined Bin Weevils in 2008 but it sure beats the horrendous 2D interface you can see in the 2017 Sneak Peek! Plus, the graphics on this photo aren't that babyish like the modern day Bin Weevils and at least it matches it's context of being a world since grass, rocks and plants and what not are the perfect things to add in that sort of game!
In one of the new issues of Weevil Weekly, Rigg said that the buildings are 'influenced by the 'old' Binscape' but as the sneak peek shows, the buildings are nothing but their own horrible art that nobody likes! I guess the only thing 'old' about this is that they have taken a big step back by making the game 2D just like how Bin Weevils was in 2003 when it started - which is a big middle finger up to the players!
For anybody that happens to be apart of the dying golden boy tribe, you'll be happy to know that this game is generally disliked by Bin Weevils players! I mean, just check out how many dislikes the sneak peek video got and just look at the comments on it! This game seems like it will have a bad start since 55Pixels seem to believe that their current players will somehow like their ugly baby graphics if it is displayed on a different game - which it clearly isn't.
But why on Earth would a video of Weevil World be uploaded on the Bin Weevils YouTube channel? Well of course, this is simply because 55Pixels are attempting to move their player base onto a new game as they close Bin Weevils and as things look, it doesn't seem to be working!
Weevil World looks like a pile of trash. I'll give them the benefit of the animation since they look nicely programmed (as also agreed by many other ex-Bin Weevils players) but the idea of them making it like a game that you find in 2005 is simply not going to sell well. This was not the Weevil World I saw in 2014 and 2015 but rather 55Pixels must have clearly re-made the entire thing behind the screen whilst making the players believe that Crater Craft was Weevil World the whole time. The logo of Weevil World seems to be yet another slight contradiction with their context since rather than designing a made up planet for the letter 'O' in the name, they simply just drew Earth which is a planet mostly consisting of Humans and not weevils!
It'll be worth a look around on the game when it comes out to see how bad it is and I might just write a more detailed rant after I have had a play on it.
That's it for this post!
