BACKPACK EVENT! Backpack guy is at a loss for words. EVIL BOON has included more speaking parts for him.
Which he considers the worst idea ever. He wants your help to write lines for him to say whenever Wally buys an item. To participate join our discord server and start submitting ideas for what voice lines you think would be a good fit for him to say.



Here is how the event works, whenever you buy something from Backpack guy, he'll say a voice line (like if you buy half an apple he'll say "I SWEAR IT HAD A BITE OUT OF IT WHEN I FOUND IT").

Rules for submitting,

1. Be in character! (Anything not in character will be rejected)
   
2. You can have him talk/think to himself by writing your submission in parentheses (), For example when buying an apple: (Oh no, did I wash that)
   
3. keep it short and sweet
   
4. Join discord and post in #submsissions !submit, name_of_item, your_submission
   

Backpack guy is inspired by the people I met who had anxiety but despite it, they still pushed through in life and never let their anxiety stop them from achieving their goals. So I thought it was ironic to create a salesperson that had crippling anxiety and pushed through regardless.


Once you're ready to start submitting here is the DISCORD.
