This sounds like the plot of a Christmas movie. Think about it, “ A young man rediscovers a precious childhood game of his, presumed lost for over a decade, has been found, only to find that it may soon be taken from him again; this time permanently. His only hope is to convince the game’s original creator to save it, and make it available to the public. But can a Christmas miracle save this little snowman?” Add in some forced drama between the team, and you’ve got “Chubby’s Special Christmas: Coming this holiday season”

Well, to be fair, your teacher must receive loads of emails from your classmate and has struggle answering to all of them, even sometimes forgetting some... (I'm a teacher, we are flawed, sorry :D) But here these game creators receive an email from someone who is genuinely interested in one of their first major games, one that disappeared and they believed no one care about anymore. It's obvious that they are really happy to talk about it again, they feel that they didn't work for nothing more than a decade ago, so I'm quite sure they were very happy to answer as soon as they could, however big they are today! It's always rewarding to feel that your work had some impact on someone, especially when you think no one cared anymore :)

Hey, everyone! Quick correction: During the section discussing the Flashpoint version of Mission in Snowdriftland, I mistakenly concluded that the Flashpoint version of MiS still tries to download the game from the original ExtraToxic servers. I was wrong about that: it turns out that Flashpoint backed up not only the original .SWF, but the level files, too - and the Flashpoint Infinity version actually points to a page on Flashpoint's own servers that has all the stages backed up! That's why, in the video, it didn't work when I disconnected my internet: the Flashpoint Infinity version of MiS was still trying and failing to download the stages - but it was trying to grab them from Flashpoint's servers, *NOT* ExtraToxic's. This is great, because it means the stages themselves are actually very safely preserved by Flashpoint. (Especially cool: once you've downloaded a stage once in the Flashpoint Infinity version of MiS, the level is saved locally and is, from that point on, playable completely offline!) TLDR: the Flashpoint version is actually WAY more robust than I thought, and the original version of Mission in Snowdriftland has officially been safely preserved. Sorry about the error!

About a year ago I had my first major surgery, I had to get my turbinites (which carry the mucus in your nose) reduced. The night before I wasn't very scared (and I'm a strong believer in Murphy's Law) but as I was in the car I just got SOOO nervous. I didn't know what to expect and I didn't know how the anesthesia would go. I decided to put this video on, and my nerves went away, I don't know how, but Nick helped me be less afraid, and the surgery went 100% swimmingly.

Okay this is soooo wholesome!!! I feel like Nick really brought a life changing project back into Steve’s life!

Glimpses of one's childhood are so precious. People don't realize just how important are the formative years and often dismiss children for their ignorance, when it's children who hold so much potential. If you remember something from your childhood like this, hold on to it and never let it go. Pursue it, keep dreaming on it. I'm so touched by Nick's stories, not only because he becomes so passionate about the various themes he covers in his videos, but because it's so genuine, so childlike in the best way. All of his adventures and stories are whimsical and majestic. He makes his dreams come true and cares about the darkest stuff on the internet. Stuff a few like become loved by millions. Thanks for bringing so much to the light.

Can we take a second to appreciate “do people care about it and enjoy it? Then I’m fine with it.” It’s so beautiful to see a game dev that actively wants their projects to give joy to others.

I think devs mainly care, it’s execs that are focused more on making money.

Im sure the developers never tought this game might get this type of return. An amazing story

Almost one year later I went and bought the game on Steam today and beat the first level with all of the snowflakes. Game feels like a really simple but fun platformer. Gonna try and beat one level a day and have it be my advent calendar this year. Thank you Nick for bringing light to this game!

Because he always tries to make connections. Had he not talked to the programmers of snowdriftland the game definitely would've pretty much disappeared. But nick seems to always be persistent when it comes to trying to make connections and finding or preserving any lost media. It would be nice if more people tried to dig and search as deep as nick, and few other lost media search tubers (such as kenny lauderdale, notelu, and red mango. {or his youtube name mangomation} All of whom have been helping find obscure anime) in some cases all it takes is asking the right person. Whether they were someone who worked closely on whichever media or if they're someone who does actually have a rare copy of something such as a dvd, game disk/cartridge, or vhs. Other times it takes more work to actually search but persistence *is* key. Too many people give up just because of a search taking longer than they want. And that's how media becomes lost forever.

Even in a video with almost zero connection to Japan (Nintendo is very briefly and not truly connected) there's still small traces. :')

You managed to give me emotional whiplash 5 separate times in the span of 38 minutes for a game that first released when I was a year old. GG.

Absolutely fantastic job there Nick, really proud to have you as part of our community. Watch the vid and went right onto steam and added it to my wishlist. Im so grateful for your work in game preservation. Keep up the awesome work!

It's not actually going to disappear though. It will continue to work on Flashpoint. Nick was wrong about how Flashpoint works, they have their own methods of making games like this work, which were apparently blocked by the kill switch thing he used. So, yeah, it will work forever with Flashpoint.

I always enjoy all sorts of forgotten and unique games like this. Some of the others that I know are Emeraldia, Success' Zoo Keeper (known in Japan (at least for the arcade and PS1 versions) as Zooo), Sumtori Deams, Soccer Physics (the original 2014 version) and Goofball Soccer.

Man, i never heard of this game till now and you can tell the devs are passionate about it. So i bought it on steam and will be playing it. I wish other companies like adult swim would do the same treatment for their flash titles. I remember playing house of dead ninjas constantly. If i had that ported over with controller support that would be fantastic.

Almost cried for like 6 or 7 time, i bought it instantly after watching this video, if this is some kind of advertisement for a game, i think its the correct one, avocating to the feeling of a startup developtment, the fear of losing it, the nostalgia of being on the moment it happened, the joy of reunion and the events that, with the effort of their creators, their fans and mutual dream of preserving this content that had give so much happiness led us to this miraculous reality that we are living right now about this game. I'm heartwarmingly thankful for you and everybody that help this to be real. Love you from the most sincere part of my heart. ♥

I love how just looking at the game it’s clear they had a lot of fun making it

Idk why but when you said they were literally going to remaster it I felt just so happy. I never played this flash game, but just the fact that you made possibly to get in contact with the devs of this tiny flash game and make them get the idea of remastering so the new generations could have it to play, it's all just so wonderful, this is what internet was made for damnit

Between the McDonalds and the Snowdriftland episodes being so close together, Nick’s life is like a constant, nerdy movie franchise. I love it

Love how his kid randomly walked in while he was explaining how painful it was to make the game lol

I love how before the developper got on the call, I was shouting how similar everything looked to Super Mario World. They really captured it well! A lot of the sprite animations and behaviours seem to allude to SMW.

Things like this make me think about ....just the impact we have on each other Some small group of people made a little game It impacts some kids lives so much that one day one kid reaches out a decade later The love he felt for the game impacts the creators so much the decide to bring it back And now the those same kids who loved this game so much all those years ago get to see it get revived Ya....humans are pretty cool sometimes
