## Franchise Methodolgy

### Types of Games:

The Scrimmy Bingus games usually stuck to a Point-and-Click Role Playing Game (RPG) format. Sometimes, this standard is broken in favor of whatever is popular amongst gamers at the time, such as Scrimmy Bingus II being a platformer. Despite this, the franchise usually sticks to some sort of RPG format with deep stories and complex lore.

### Cohesiveness:

At the start of the franchise, all of the lore was very put together (though bonkers), and it mostly stuck to a single world setting with a set roster of characters and locations. This didn't change until more and more sequels started being tacked on, with each new entry bringing something new to the franchise. However, it wasn't until Scrimmy Bingus 2000 when things would go off the rails. While no lore, characters, or locations were removed from the earlier entries, Scrimmy Bingus 2000 included some of the first pop-culture references that directly influenced the plot and also featured a much larger character list and location map, making it's plot very hard to understand. From that point onward, most installments of the franchise would continue to push the boundaries of the story and make plotlines that were extremely difficult to grasp in one, or even several playthroughs.

This all came to a head with the last game entry, Scrimmy Bingus Ultimate, which attempted to combine everything from every past RPG entry in the series, all into one game. The game has over 250 hours of content and is one of the longest video games ever made. It is nearly impossible to understand the entirety of the plot, evidenced by long-time fans of the franchise taking to forums in attempts to dissect the story, usually leading to heated arguments and egregiously long comment chains. Famously, a YouTuber recorded a Discord call that occurred between him and his friends, during which they attempted to explain the game. The call lasted more than 29 hours and ended in screaming.

### Developing Process:

Crogus Interactive never had a shortage of employees, given that the primary founders all had big families that were all nearly apart of the company. Additionally, as the popularity of Scrimmy Bingus rose, they constantly got job requests and usually accepted them. This meant that they had more than enough people to churn out 3 games a year and keep the company running. Additionally, most of the Scrimmy Bingus games used low-res assets and reused sprites and code for every installment, meaning that the developing time for a single entry in the series was cut in half by the time the details of the game were put together.
