I was watching the Arch Stream, and just thought it seemed like a perfectly reasonable dating sim.
I actually did not know it wasn't "Goodbye Volcano High", and that that was an entirely different game.
Cue my surprise when he started saying, that it was "way better". Then I assumed it was a pre-quel. It took me several hours to realize that it was a 4chan rebuke of the 1st game.
GVH had its reveal trailer a very long way from its release, with a lot of delays. Half of the joke of Snoot Game being started was that it would be created and released before GVH came out and completely eclipse by being the "original" that all art and discussion linked back to.
Which worked, nobody would even remember GVH if not for the constant dance around Snoot Game.
It appears that GVH was fully, or majority, animated, correct?
If so, considering Snoot Game is a traditional, 2D, mostly static picture, dating sim; I wouldn't be surprised if it did come out before GVH because it's much easier to make.
GVH is about half animated and half "2d models vaguely moving behind a text box" like all VNs are.
I think the joke was closer to "we will make an entire game from scratch before these yahoos stop delaying it and release it." And considering they did so with one guy and a bunch of random volunteers doing it for fun, compared to a founded studio with actual experience and history being funded partially by Sony, its still an impressive feat to do so.
Its a classic example of fans giving people what they actually wanted (a game where you can fuck the Snootgirl) while a developer spends hours huffing their own farts making some sort of "statement" in a game about high school dinosaurs.
