Are you all ready for Cuphead?
>>337302523
Yes, but no release date yet, right? Still estimated for 2016? Just making sure I didn't miss anything.
It's gonna be a bitch to solo isn't it

Give those animators an award.
>>337302689
Probably.
>>337302616
Confirmed for sometime this year. They said they will be making free DLC for more bosses.
>>337302523
a part of me ready alright
>>337302689
I played it at PAX and it's only marginally easier in co op. You have to hit the ghost of your partner before it flies off the screen or he's gone and even if you do he comes back with one health. I'm also pretty sure they adjust the damage/health in co op.
>>337302931
How many bosses were available to fight?
>>337303047
The three who were all in on stage at the garden. The potato, onion and carrot.
The water drop in the forest.
The transforming zeppelin woman where you fly planes and fight her.
The flower in a meadow level.
I feel like there may have been one more but I really can't think of what it would have been.
The shop was also in the game. You could buy passives and different shot types. One passive can be equipped and two different shot types can be equipped. The plane level overrode your shot type and made you shoot missles.
>>337303372
Sounds nice. Hopefully the final product comes out coherent.

Xbox is the only platform I don't own as of yet. Not because of fanboyism, just because I've been waiting for at least 3 games that I'd want on it before I grab it.
I really want to play Sunset Overdrive, and now Cuphead looks pretty slick.
That's only 2 games but I may take the plunge anyway because animation is my fetish.
I've been ready for 2 years.

This game uses chromatic aberration the best out of any other game. God, it looks fucking gorgeous, can't wait
>>337306750
It's nice because actual film being projected has chromatic aberration due to the light being refracted.
This game looks beautiful, and I'm going in with no expectations other than good animation. Everything else will just be a bonus.

There's still BB. Hopefully the PS4K isn't an overpriced piece of shit so I can finally decide if it's worth getting a PS4.

It's mostly boss rush with brief platforming segments between.

Why aren't these guys making cartoons? They could mop the floor with anything CN/Nick/Disney Channel produces
>>337309198
Because frame by frame animation is hyper expensive and no company wants to pay that since all the kids who grew up watching toons are used to nothing but tween puppet animation.
>>337309198
Animation requires a fuckload of work, each animation loop can take hours to days to draw, ink, and color. It's much less time consuming to make the assets for a video game where each character has a handful of loops and actions instead of 24 minute episodes of fluid animation.
>>337309198
>>337309282
>>337309357
they should make a movie instead
>>337309421
That would still cost a quadrillion dollars. Email them and suggest a kickstarter or something.
>>337309282
Really though? A Family Guy episode costs $2 million and 9 months to produce, and the animation in that show is near non-existent
Does anyone elses eyes hurt after looking at these screen shots? Not all of them but wherever the CA is at its heaviest my eyes cant handle it. It's like looking at a stereoscopic 3-D image without 3-D glasses for me.
>>337309645
That's completely wrong. If you look at the breakdown of that, a large portion of the money in that goes to the voice actor/director, with a far smaller budget for animation (which is done in korea). It doesn't take 9 months to make one episode, it takes 9 months to make one season and they work on all episodes during that 9 months at intervals.
>>337309554
and make a quadrillion and 1 back
they don't need a kick-starter, they need a job
look at Caroline the old techniques are ripe for a comeback
This isn't going to be W10 exclusive is it?
>>337309814
Well shit. So animation is just a money pit where nobody really appreciates the effort?

>>337303464
>>337303047
>>337302840
Legitimate Question:
Why go through the effort of hand-animating all of these like this? It looks cool but shit's gotta be taking lot of money and effort for something that can be done easier digitally, right? You can simulate artifacts that come with this style too. It's not like this style of animation can only be done on paper.
Why do it the hard way when the easier way can produce the exact same result?
>>337307034
Somebody reverse it
>>337310046
Yep, animators do it because they love it (unless you're working at pixar/disney you're not gonna make much money being an animator).
Japanese anime animators make less money than fast food workers and have 10x the hours.
>>337309980
if it is its another game i no longer care about
>>337310139
Because it's what they wanted to do.
>>337310139
Because they wanted to make a game in traditional animated way. And no, you can't simulate this kind of animation. Tweens are 2d based, you can't force a 3d complex perspective out of a 2d plane. Even if you use a 3d model as a base/reference and trace over, there are things that work in 2d frame by frame drawing like that , that technically don't make sense or "work" in a real 3d based perspective. It's a dying art but it should be something all animators do. It's why a lot of 3d games have these horrible shitty animations because the animators of that never learned to do frame by frame 2d animation/motion.
>>337305614
Don't go around giving people ideas, anon
>>337310169
damn man, normies are ruthless
>>337309980
>>337310236
No, pretty sure they plan on having it on Steam and GoG
>>337309025
>>337310526
You can draw literally every frame of these animations on a digital canvas and animate them frame-by-frame.
And I don't know where you're going with this 3D perspective talk. The same picture can be drawn in either medium.
>>337310930
It would probably be easier to do on a light board than on a shitty cheap tablet though. Just speaking from experience

Go listen to your record collection gramps. I bet you're still using dialup because it's nostalgic.
But for real. I haven't really looked into this game much but I've just been wondering about it. A lot of criticisms I'm hearing about this game is a seemingly low amount of content and the fact that it's apparently taking forever to come out. It could be possible that manually animating everything on paper could be a hindrance in the game's production.
>>337311625
maybe
>>337303860
Its Xboner and Windows 10 exclusive. I haven'T seen anything about Steam. It's like they actually want to crash and burn. Fuck whoever is developping this game for such shitty decisions.
>>337312438
It would probably be out already except that they're taking time to address the lack of content complaint by creating actual levels like most people seemed to want.
>>337312530
It says steam on their website.
I keep forgetting this game exists, but i'm always happy to be reminded. I just really want to play it at this point. They fucking nailed the style.
>>337312530
Oh? So what's this then?

>>337302523
>>337302840
They did the animation on paper?
>>337309198
Animating a bunch of sprites for a game is waaaaay less expensive than making twelve 21 minute-long fully-animated episodes for a show.
>>337310169
Fuck Japan for that, that's the reason Super is looking like SHIT, that one scene on episode 41 or something where the super shenron appears, the literally just increased it's size in after effects or something, wtf?
Animation takes A LOT of effort, and it pains me that a scrub VA (no matter how good they are) win MORE than animators, voice acting an episode can literally be done in one day, animating just one minute can take an entire week or even more depending on how complex it is.
I have animated in paper before, and it took me 5 months to animate 5 minutes, I love it, but it sure is under appreciated.

The post literally making it "love and effort" vs "unenthusiastic and lazy"
Or does the phrase "phone it in" mean something different in your region?
>>337308492
The steam version doesn't get local co-op. Only online I believe.
>>337314030
The creators love old cartoons, and are taking great pains to give their game the exact aesthetic of old cartoons.
Doing it digitally would not work, no matter how much simpler, cheaper, and easier it may be. This is not because digital is shit, but because it simply would not quite achieve the desired result of looking like an old cartoon.
As a result, doing this digitally would be phoning it in.
Do you understand?
>>337314030
The question asked was to the effect of "why did they spend their time making this with hand drawn art when they could've done it easier digitally"
The poster responded with saying that doing it easier, "phoning it in," would be the exact opposite of one of the key reasons the game is being made. Your butthurt is your own damn fault.
>>337312829

>>337314483
Finding an easier way that's easier on the budget isn't phoning it in. Cutting corners and being lazy is phoning it in. They're purposefully making it harder on themselves for what? A bullet point on the game case? It doesn't matter anyway since they're covering it all with blur and chromatic aberration.
>>337314481
I guess I really don't understand. I'm no artist but how is drawing something on paper so magically distinct from drawing digitally? Not like it's gonna come out as a different picture if it's not from a pencil.
>>337315124
I'm glad that you understand that you don't understand.
>They're purposefully making it harder on themselves for what?
They might not see it as harder, some people just prefer to animate on paper.
>I'm no artist but how is drawing something on paper so magically distinct from drawing digitally?
It feels different and many people prefer paper. The bite of your pencil meeting the paper is totally different to plastic on plastic, there's the fact you drawing is right in front of you and being able to flip your animation by hand. These may seem like small things but comfort is comfort.
>Not like it's gonna come out as a different picture if it's not from a pencil.
Not massively but just using a pen makes you draw differently from a pencil. Different processes.
People that have never animated anything don't realize that it's actually easier to animate on paper than it is to do it entirely digital. Especially for this style of animation.
>>337315124
>how is drawing something on paper so magically distinct from drawing digitally? Not like it's gonna come out as a different picture if it's not from a pencil.
Depending on the illustrator it's preference. While those cintiq tablets are fine in their own right, they can sometimes be a bit janky and you still get artifacts all the time.
They're much cleaner and more useful for less detailed animation like the shit you see on youtube or newgrounds where there isn't as much fluid motion, but animating every single frame on one of them would be a pain in the ass for someone who doesn't use them and would probably take longer for these guys to use anyway.
There's also the issue of the pen not actually ever touching the 'paper' on those tablets, which fucks a lot of people over, and that they cost a fortune.
>>337315845
I dunno man, I've done both and both have their ups and downs.
"Digital vs. paper" is a stupid question anyway because neither is inherently worse than the other. It's all about who's doing it.
Tweens however, fuck them.
