So, basically, back on November 24th of 2022, I had the crazy idea of making an interconnected universe of games, comics, and maybe even videos!
I called it the Guestaverse.
Thing is, this was actually my third time making the Guestaverse.
I had made two other versions before this.
The first version was more akin to a YouTube arg than a connected universe, yet I still called it the Guestaverse. The basic plot revolved around this kid who was named after me (I won't say the name bc I don't like my name being online) going on adventures and stuff.
The story seemed to consist of random one-off videos with no real story, until I introduced a character named G-Bot.
G-Bot was a robot my character made to help create videos, but at the end of his introduction video, he escaped and went rogue.
In a later episode, G-Bot would return, now heavily deformed and covered in parts that were stolen from other places. He would try to kill my character until he (idk why I wrote this part) had his arm chopped off because my character attacked him with an axe he kept under his bed. After this, he would be kicked into a lava pit that I just had in my room for some reason, and G-Bot would've been defeated.
Until...
A later video showed that his arm survived and that he hopped into a new body that was an EVIL and TWISTED version of my character...
(The white on his outfit was changed to black, and the blue on his outfit was changed to red. That's why he was evil.)
Eventually, I decided to can the idea and start work on a new Guestaverse.
The second Guestaverse was more like a connected universe than a single series.
It had Roblox videos, animated videos, and stop motion videos.
It told the story of my character, Guesty, going on simple adventures and talking about cool things.
However, in the LEGO series, there was a bit more of a story.
Lego Guesty (his official name) lived in a paradise called the Sanctuary. Guarded by his mother and a cast of fun characters like Ted the Dead, a water-logged zombie. Alex from Minecraft. Slick Nick, his crime-obsessed father. And finally, Emma, Guesty's sister.
One day, a mysterious all-black character named HIM would show up and try to kill all of them. Eventually, the creature ended up killing the mother of Guesty and Emma. Later, in a long video entitled Guesty's Adventure, Lego Guesty, Nick, Ted, and animated Guesty would team up to try and stop HIM.
Eventually, they would chase him throughout the multiverse, winding up back in animated Guesty's universe.
The two would duel, and it would be revealed that HIM is actually Guesty from the first Guestaverse. Morphed into a monster due to anger and jealousy.
He would be defeated and animated Guesty would fly out of the arena, only to then realize that... idk... something something dimension problems or smth causes the universe to implode on itself.
Guesty hits a button at the last minute, resetting everything. Leading to a new era for the channel.
Eventually, I just decided I wanted to make normal videos, not story-based ones. So, I finally switched from making the Guestaverse about YouTube... to being about video games.
And that's how I got here.
The third Guestaverse.
The Guestaverse I've been building for the last 3-4 years.
And now, that too... is coming to a close.
Why I'm Doing This:
I'll be honest with you.
I cared WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY too much about quantity over quality, and that caused a lot of my games to suffer.
My brain was overflowing with concepts and ideas for games that, I knew for a fact, would just be the same RPG Maker slop I've been making for the last 3 years.
Games like Thunderbird, The Enchanted Tamer, Miners Tale, A Date With Death, and possibly the biggest, Defend The Guestaverse.
All of these games I WANTED to make, but I knew would suffer because, EVENTUALLY, I'd run out of ideas.
So, what I did was cherry-pick the best game concepts I had. The ones with the deepest, richest, greatest stories, and stuck to those.
I was left with only three games.
I truly love the Guestaverse with all my heart, but I genuinely think it's time to put this series to an end.
To everyone who stuck with me throughout these years, thank you!
We had some laughs.
Some cries (if you cried at my bad writing).
And a whole lot of cringe I'm too lazy to go back and delete.
It's been an honor.
















Thank you and goodnight.
