Anne's earliest ideas 

The earliest of Anne's incredible and original ideas of this mod all started on the 14th of April, 2021, where she allegedly states that she was taking a shower when the idea came to her: A chill looking guy that has a magic cigarette or vape pod that smokes in between songs where every time he exhales, the smoke would share a similar art style to the flames in Promare.

After coming up with this idea, Anne came to her good friend called Clover, who is also known as Rageminer, to talk morea about her idea. That day, Anne and Clover discussed the mod idea, and turned it into a concept. Clover also agreed to be the voice actor of Garcello, and of course voiced the iconic "tight bars, little man" voice line in the song Nerves. This is the earliest of Anne's ideas, and Anne is still creating content in regards to Garcello and the mod to this day. Because Anne has experience in creating Funkin' mods (see page 12), she executed her idea and finally turned Smoke Em' Out Struggle into a public and playable mod.

An exclusive interview with the one and only Anne "Atsuover", the creator of Garcello, Annie, and her well known mods - "I suddenly have a very vivid mod idea."

Thats right! We were given the opportunity to have an exclusive interview with the one and only, craetor of Garcello, Smoke em’ out Struggle and vs Annie, Atsuover. Anne, also known as Atsuover, was originally a small content creator that would occasionally post gameplay videos and animations on her platforms. Although she was relatively small at the time, she still had quite a big audience. She did not imagine that she would be where she is today - millions of fans lining up to play her mods. 

The first question we asked was “How did you come up with the idea for Smoke em’ Out Struggle?”, and of course, she answered with “The idea suddenly came up when I was taking a shower on the 14th of April, 2021.”. Strange, right?! But for Anne, it was the root for her idea to become incredibly popular and favoured among many people and funkin’ fans. For more info on this interview, see page 2. 

Her inspirations

So, what were Anne’s inspirations to help her with the creation of mods? "It was more of a character idea at first, but then it turned into a funkin' mod idea with it" - As described earlier, Anne wanted Garcello to be a relatively chill and carefree character. She never intended the mod to necessarily be sad at all, but Garcello's calming and sweet personailty made the mod even more heartbreaking for players. Anne stuck to a basic design for simplistic purposes, and to emphasise his chill vibe. 

Anne had stated that the smoke and aesthetic had been inspired by the flames in the movie “Promare”, that has a cartony, neon and colourful feel to it. With Annie’s design, she had stated that her outfit was inspired by something Anne was wearing one night and decided to make it Annie’s official design.
