Nice idle animations and a happy face can go quite the distance.
>>342199013
This just gives me flashbacks to all the shitty tweening in hentai images and gives me an angry boner. Selling your game as hand drawn and then making a whole boss nothing but tweening animations is pretty dumb. Especially when it's just the same animation over and over, it's not like she's fucking signing "let me out of this god damn contraption" or doing something that requires a shit ton of hand drawn frames. She's just wiggling the same way over and over and over again.
>>342197379
Showing side scrollers that are better than MN9 is kind of like picking on the retard at school.

Anon, the webm is two seconds long.
I agree with you, though.
Not many studios are willing to do frame-by-frame animation, though.
If it's tweening or more generic 3D I'll pick the tweening.
>>342201274

There needs to be more.

There is. It's all furry.
>>342201506
Nigga it overlaps where the hair grows from
>>342201660
final boss has to be the most epic
How much time did they really spend developing the game? It seems like a college single term project, two terms at best.
>>342202045
I wasn't saying it looked correct, just saying they probably wanted more overlapping elements and though the hair thing would work
This game shits on it, and it was made by 5 guys at a Japanese telecom company in 10 months.

You're making an assumption just liek I am, I don't give a fuck. I was just replying to the original comment about it
>>342201979
It always is.
Is there a reason that there's a lot of not-tan official art of Shantae in this game? Did they actually plan to remove one of her biggest selling points?
>>342203376
If you mean her sprite that was a shading fuckup.
>>342203376
iirc she was initially not tan and everyone rightly complained and they changed it, but there's still that initial art out there.
>>342202812
God, she's such an ugly fucking slut. Everyone's seen the picture of her naked, right? Holy christ, she's a disgusting little gremlin SJW cunt. I'd sooner get off to the lesser demons in Doom than her.
I wonder how big the fish they attached to this giant slut was
>>342197379

It's short for "in-between frames." Except in this case, you're creating the illusion of movement based on a set path of individual moving and altering parts.
The problem is that the movement looks "off" in some cases. Like it can be too choppy or floaty since the movement is decided by the computer even if the animator MIGHT have some extra touches (not much, just altering a few parts like changing a hand in one frame and reverting it in another or tweaking how much each part "swings").
It's convenient for production more than it is for the viewer.
>>342205669

>>342203376
Originally she wasn't tan because the night stages' lighting had her pretty hard to see originally while tan IIRC but the backlash had them re-optimize the lighting.
>>342199013
I don't get it.
The giant mermaid looks fine, the tweening isn't even that bad it looks pretty smooth. Unless there are bigger autists here than me that can perceive miliseconds or something and there's like one bad frame i'm not seeing here.
Do you mean shantae? Because in comparison her animation does seem a bit choppier.
Then again it could just be the people who are never satisfied in which case I feel kind of sorry...Because believe me, i've been there.

>>342210546
>Tfw there's a vore animation for the snek in the pot.
Mermaid vore when?But seriously someone asked a few threads ago why so many vore people enjoy shantae, it's because the monster girls. They're commonly associated with vore. So naturally put alot of monster girls in and you're gonna get a good bit of autists who are into that stuff.

Terrible art direction, mediocre boring gameplay, snore-fest music all combined with massive hype based on it being a "spiritual successor" to mega man based on "the creator" of megaman (he isn't). Massively overhyped and massively underdelivered. Did I mention it cost $4mil?
>>342211092
No one will talk about it, but Mn9 suffered because Inafune tried to do what Level-5 does; which is to release a franchise and not just a game. Unfortunately, Level-5 pours over research, has preestablished history with non-vidya studios, actually releases everything basically at once, and knows when to end a series. Hell, the president is so pissed that Yokai Watch didn't do so well in American that he's going to look into actually making America only YW games.
Inafune already had his huge amount of money and underestimated how much everything would cost and how long it would take to get the ball rolling. With no links to any other Studios and not letting people know that that's what he wanted to do, the game languished in development hell as its money was spent elsewhere.

All you need to do is watch the footage of the final boss.
That was the most boring thing I've ever seen. Imagine a bullet sponge with three very easily avoidable attacks. Now double it. Now take that second half, make its three attacks even easier to avoid, while giving it even more health.

He wasn't involved in any meaningful way, though, never mind being a creator.
Afaik, all he did were some doodles, not any programming or level or game or even sound design.

But it's two different genres of games so I guess you can't really compare them
>>342211765
>>Selling point is fap bait monster girls, and transformation fetish pandering.
You say that like it's a bad thing.
Plus the game looks fine, not anything brand new but a good platformer like it's always been.
I still kind of wish the belly dancing transformations were a minigame again. I know it sort of paused the action but I always loved doing it and teleportation dances were the shit.
>>342211525
Like most all games, 2D games come down to enemies with easily understood patterns, being placed in such a way that makes passing them complex, yet readable, and also swift.

Level design is more important, and before even that you need character movement and abilities that are simple and easy to understand, but multifaceted and allow for a high degree of skill in execution.

>>342211915
>You say that like it's a bad thing.
Something so superficial can't be the main reason to buy a game. It needs to be backed up with something substantial.
The last Shantae I played for GBC wasn't what I would call good. I won't call it bad either, as I never got very far. I ran into some moles, and their spawning points were cheap. That's when I was like "alright, enough of this shit". But the game had some interesting ideas, and I won't say it lacks charm. But I can't be charmed into playing a bullshit platformer.

Goddamn this game is boring, I guess you faggots really just play these games for the anime tiddies
>>342212396
What is level design without patterns though?
You can think of the most interesting theme, and complex layout. But what will that matter when the actual moving pieces are put into their place? Levels are built around the patterns of hazards and enemies. Not the other way around.
Player movement, doesn't need variety, so long as it's turned for precision. Players need precision before fluidity.

>>342211092
It became shitty because the devs and the one in charge if there ever was one, decided it would be a good idea to start up a bunch of unrelated projects related to MN9 before the game was even out. Completely misses the point of what makes a solid (or otherwise SUCCESSFUL) Kickstarter project really. You say you're going to do something, show people how you're going to do it (or show them something "tangible" or actually indicative of the bare minimum final product). Then when you get the money you go do what you said you were gonna do.

How is that not shoving the game out of the way of the gun, and taking the bullet yourself? You're making the issue personal, when it doesn't need to be.
>>342212983
>it looked like a slightly better SNES at most.
That's giving it a bit of extra credit. The SNES and GBA were essentially the game when it came to 2D graphics. The only real difference is the GBA's resolution was slightly smaller. Which is what always bothered me about the SNES ports. The screen was always shaved. That, plus the sound was always slightly worse.
>>342213071
I'm not even the same anon retardo.
But he never said exactly what you just said. He's teasing you because you're being a faggot.
>>342204135
So is this legit or some fan made thing? And for what purpose?
From what I understand, Shantae's boobs are smaller in 1/2 Genie Hero, but her ass is much bigger.
>>342213501
It's legit but it's not exactly what you think.
It's a "mermaid" factory except it's just shoving women into giant fish.Still implies they're getting perpetually eaten out though
>>342213501
If I remember right, they're from the demo. The level was called "Mermaid Factory" so they're fusing people and fish into mermaids somehow.
>>342213539
Well she is only 15.
>Shantaefags pretending like they never supported Mighty No. 2
Caught you redhanded.
>>342213496
I can tell he's teasing me. But the reason he thinks my position is retarded, is for the fact that he's taken personal offense. His dick is telling him to buy the game with the monster girls. And I attacked the game with the master girls. So to him, I attacked him, by attacking the thing that makes his dick happy. And only a faggot doesn't think with his dick, right?
>>342197379

>>342210414
Shantae was never that great.
Pirates Curse is pretty much Shantae without dancing in hopes of polishing up her adventure platform girl viability, which in all honesty is still clunky ass shit but at least it's greased up clunky ass shit.
>>342200118
>getting all this based off of a ONE SECOND looped video
>>342212748
>Levels are built around the patterns of hazards and enemies.
And there you have it.
By your own admission, enemies are but a single component of level design, right next to hazards.
And there's more than hazards. There are all sorts of things like minor collectibles, hard to reach rewards, secrets, etc. to consider.
Take a moment and look at Casino Night Zone in Sonic 2. It has a single enemy type you don't see often which slowly walks around and doesn't hurt you unless you walk into it, and yet it's one of the better levels in the game despite barely having enemies at all.
How is this possible?
>Player movement, doesn't need variety
I didn't say a single thing about variety in player movement or abilities.
>>342210920It's only okay when Vanillaware does it

I remember Shatae's kickstarter was floundering under MN9's shadow, before they began the cross-promotion.
Shantae fans were all love and hugs during that time. Then as soon as they got the money, they divorced MN9, and ran off to go hoing
Sort of like dealing with real women.
>>342214021
The same people that shit on this animation probably defend Dragons Crown.
Which is equally as flash tier animated
>>342214174
Vanillaware games are more easily carried thanks to the aesthetics.
>>342214174
I like Vanillaware a lot but yeah their animations lack frames, the actual art is 10/10 though.
>all those bait posts with no responses

>>342211063
I wish there was more vanilla monstergirl stuff in Shantae art. Regular brown Shantae is cool and all, but I'd like to see more Burd Shantae or Snek Shantae getting dicked.

>>342212421
How many dances will this new game have? It seemed like there was less dancing with each new game.
GBC Shantae - 6 dances (one for each direction on the directional pad, A button, and B button)
DS Shantae - 3 Dances (one each for monkey, elephant, and mermaid)
Pirate's Curse - One or two dances when you use the lamp to suck up evil magic
I hope Half Hero at least has lots of unique dances. Just copy the dances from the original for all I care.
>>342213462
Fuck no, dude. You couldn't possibly have run something like Gunstar Super Heroes on the SNES with all it's complex multipart sprites and tons of sprite scaling and rotation, let alone some of its few 3D games that ran without special chips, or shit like the Banjo Pilot alpha/beta/whatever which used voxels.
>Game made by an actual development team that produces decent quality games often
vs
>Game where a producer who hasn't done any game development at all other than drawing since 20 years, rakes all the money, hires a random guy for designer and director plus some "veterans" nobody knows much about, partners with another dev studio, starts making merchandise, kickstarts another game while in development which fails, targets every single platform including some chinese bootleg console. yadda yadda
Whou would have expected it?
>>342205680
Its only floaty if the people using tweening don't have enough keyframes and instead just have 2-3 keyframes and everything inbetween is the tween with an ease (which ends up robotic since human/animal potion acceleration/deceleration is not perfect).
But honestly growing up today grew up with tweened cartoons and doesn't know any better. Same reason why cuphead will sell like shit since very few people care about hand drawn frame by frame anymore.

Nope. Patterns are patterns, and levels are levels. For example, the classic spike trap. That is a common level hazard. However, on it's own, it's pretty unremarkable. You can make an entire game on still traps, and no one would give much of a fuck.
Now put a spike trap on say a piston type moving contraption that the player needs to cross, then you're on to something. Now you're being rewarded for you ability to detect the pattern, time your movement, and execute with precision.
>There are all sorts of things like minor collectibles, hard to reach rewards, secrets, etc. to consider.
The anon ask for the "essence" of a 2D platformer. All that stuff is tertiary.
Casino Night Zone is memorable level for two reasons. 1. It had moving block hazards, and while the other "hazards" were unmoving and unharmful, they still caused Sonic to move. And again, it was about attempting to move precisely, while the hazards thwarted your progress. It was hard to get around with everything bouncing you around. One of the most memorable bits from the level, is this one half pipe, with a perfectly placed bouncer, that kept pushing you back, every time you tried to get out. It look just the tiniest of care to get through, but if you were just running through without thinking, then you'd have a hard time getting out.
2. The level was such a huge relief after beating Aquatic Ruin Zone. Yeesh. It transitions from difficult water level with moving hazards everywhere, to fun play zone with most unmoving hazard and pinball.
>I didn't say a single thing about variety in player movement or abilities.
>you need character movement and abilities that are simple and easy to understand, but multifaceted and allow for a high degree of skill in execution.

Don't know why people care so much over >tweens.
All of 3d animaton is literally nothing but tweens.
>>342214174
No, I shit on the Shantae's animation and Dragon's Crown animation. I hate it when people say 2D looks better than 3D, and then they point to games like Dragon's crown. And it's like, sure, Dragon's crown looks rich in detail. But that shit is tween&warp animation. So not only are they shitting on good 3D stuff, they're also indirectly shitty on real 2D animation by putting this tween shit in the same category.
>>342214891
I would probably buy cuphead on principle if it wasn't held by the xbone
>>342197379
That game isn't awesome. I understand though anon. Awesome games that are awesome aren't for everyone.
>>342214519
I thought I made it clear that I was talking about 2D graphics.
SNES could rotate and scale. Look at Yoshi's Island. A bunch of enemy and boss animation is rotating and scaling.
I would need some time to think of an SNES game with "complex" multipart sprites. But I'm sure it must exist.
https://youtu.be/4GWIno0n-84
shantae/dragons crown all use spline, which lets you rig 2d images with bones like you would a 3d model, and allow basic pseudo 3d rotation with vertex deformers.
the great advantage of it outside of ease is it saves on memory/space as you're deforming only one image instead of needing seperate images for frame by frame
>>342197379
is that some sort of western weeaboo game?
>>342215546
They do exist. Final Fight is one.
>>342212983
The Game Boy Advance is not a Game Boy.
>>342215546
yoshi's island is more of an exception than a rule because it used the super fx 2 chip specifically to aid this kind of operations
without that, the best hardware rotation snes could do was mode 7 stuff
>>342215704
it definitely gives it a unique look
>>342198171
Holy, it's true. The new game look exactly like the gameboy version.
>>342215704
+ saves time, effort and money
- looks like cheap new grounds flash animation
Dragons Crown, Muramasa and Odin Sphere only ever get screenshots posted here. Barely ever webms because it looks janky as fuck in motion
>almost no art of this scene
What bullshit.
>>342216640
You should actually take a loot at old flash animation and compare. You are remembering flash animation a lot better than it actually it, it doesn't look anywhere close as good as spline.
>>342213539
I can live without huge tits for a swollenly, fat ass
>>342215546
>SNES could rotate and scale. Look at Yoshi's Island.
Yoshi's Island only has any of that because of the Super FX 2 chip, which was far more powerful than the console itself and actually allowed for things like sprite scaling and rotation.
Mode 7, the scaling and rotating feature the console itself is known for, for comparison, only allows you to scale and rotate a single background layer, and games that were all about this like Super Mario Kart and Pilotwings still needed special chips to help do the necessary processing fast enough for the games to be playable.
Regardless, not even Yoshi's Island has as complex multipart sprites or scaling and rotation as Gunstar Super Heroes.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jixZgLRKa8I&t=2m57s
Just look at this average boss.
Every part of it scales and rotates and does a special hit effect when shot, and just look at all those parts. A huge main body, a head, 4 arm parts, 8 finger parts, and 2 leg parts (16 total parts), plus it's waving another sprite around as a weapon, and all while a background does a special effect, never mind all the explosion effects everywhere in its second phase.
What does Yoshi's Island have?
Raphael the Raven where you have a static moon background rotating while a boss sprite/background layer rotates and stretches slightly at the same time?
Hookbill who has a body, head, tail, and 2 arms and legs (7 total parts)?
It's not even the same ballpark.
>>342216884
Spline gives this look like everything's made of jelly though. I'm not gonna sit here and shit on it like ti doesn't accomplish some cool stuff but it's still, imo, shit compared to traditional animation, even traditional 3D animation.
>>342216884
You do realize a lot of modern animation for cartoons is done with flash, right?
>>342217342
Not flash, toonboom.

>Have to play this with only one hand
>You are now remembering that MN9 launched it's kickstarter right before Shantae's
>Shantae barely got any stretch goals because it was overshadowed by MN9 and people had already spent there money on that
>>342217678
Remember? I never fucking forgot, and I'll never not be mad.
>>342217504
as far as I know Dofus, which was originally a Flash game, still kept using Flash when it moved to being a cartoon.
>>342217678
people that can't tell the difference between "there" and "their" probably have little money indeed
Not enough Risky in this thread

Goddamn all that track needs is a more chunky bassline and you have a vocal psytrance track on your hands.

>>342213950
tweening is an animation technique, not something to be 100% avoided
if all of your animation is tweened it's gonna look like shit, but it's fine if used where appropriate
you know, like how vanillaware's animators do it
I want to fuck tiny pixel ladies.

Yeah, reminds me of this. (7 minutes in)
Will this actually be mechanically interesting to play or will it just be "pretty but ultimately boring to play" like Rayman Origins?
>>342219406
Rayman Origins is very fun to play though.
>>342219406
Judging by the previous Shantae games, it's the latter
>>342219406
>Origins
>boring to play
We can't be friends.
>>342219572
I don't understand you people. The Shantae games are enjoyable.
>>342197379
GIANT.

BOOBS.

>I don't understand you people.
The retouched up versions of the Risky's Revenge art pieces are nice but they don't nearly look as good as the originals.
I'm not even sure why I like this less than the original. Maybe the bit of grain made it feel more authentic or some dumb shit like that.
Wait, did RR even have Bubbles as enemies?
>>342219963
the spike ball spell in that game was too good
>>342201575
>that entire fight 13 god damn minutes
even blizzard knew that was stupid when they installed rage timers

what language is this, why is there a weird alphabet?

Shantae is cute
CUTE!
>>342210920
I was pausing the webm and couldnt find any tweening besides the hair during the attacks, and even that probably is not tweening.
Tweening would be inbetween frames, which would mean you had your main frames set, and then lower quality frames between those. Which is not the case in this. I think anon just had an autismo fit, might be because he backed a certain game that just came out and was shat on.
>>342220087
Geez don't you know that more longer = more hardcores

Any lewd of her yet?
>>342220581
Sadly no, just 2 or 3 well drawn images. But no actual lewds. Give it another day or two.
>>342197379
I wish they never hired Christina Vee to voice shantae
>>342220663
>just 2 or 3 well drawn images
Sounds good, care to post?
>>342220671
Who would you rather have voice her, if you don't mind me asking?
>>342220709
With pleasure.
>>342220671
How come? My dick was diamonds when she said RISKY and ROTTYYY!
Where is my demo, conman?
You said we would get the demo.
>>342214174
To be fair, Dragon's Crown has top tier art, for pretty much everything. Animating everything with that much detail would be a pain.
>>342220884
No bad, and the rest 2?
>>342197379
>>342197379
wow bad choice of music in the trailer..i was interested int his game until now but it just looks like snes gameplay
>>342220884
Are you the guy who did the Hyrule Warriors comics? Good work
>>342221212
I already posted 2 and the other one I had's already in the thread somewhere. Good luck finding it.

How is that a bad thing?
