How can one game have so many 10/10 character designs?

>in development for 4 years
>had an enormous archive of old cartoons to source inspiration from
>people involved in making the game aren't retarded
It was inevitable really

feels so good to enjoy a game like I'm a kid again

This vid literally answers your question

It's the head animator giving a talk at some stupid ass video game conference. He's a little antsy onstage but it gives a great overview of the kind of workflow led to his animations.

Because thats all they focused on. Its not even that interesting of a game gameplay wise

>10/10 character designs
>posts 12/10 waifu
Boi you give her the respect she deserves

you're right, I'm sorry user. I want to marry cala maria

>4 years

Nope, 7 years. Cuphead began development in 2010.

she's so qt

That was a completely different project, wasn't it? It was just a "retro game" idea back then, as far as I know.

haha imagine if the giant mermaid put you in her mouth

It would be very warm and slimy. So?

haha just imagine sliding around on her tongue
it'd be so funny

The game really should have stayed a Boss Rush. Maybe it would have saved them a bit of time and money.

I like the platforming levels, I wish there were more of them.

In 500 Cuphead threads posted over the past week this has got to be the worst opinion.

Why did she turn into a Gorgon?

What's wrong with them? I enjoyed them a ton.

They aren't the focus of the game and were just added last minute because people thought they knew what they wanted.

Fair enough. I still enjoy them, though. It's not like they're designed poorly. It's still fun.

> That shake

Oh man. I haven't felt this much shake lust since...

This statement has no bearing on the quality of their assets of level design.

I wonder what her breath smells like haha im just curious for laughs haha i would like to smell it

We are of one mind user

I love the creativity in this game, but did anyone find some of the bosses a little too random?
>Frogs turn into a slot machine
>Pirate ship shoots laser from it's uvula
>Bee turns into an airplane with saws on its wings

Probably Psychedelics, and years of hard work.

Mein negro

>>Bee turns into an airplane with saws on its wings

That's pretty standard.

Yeah, it still manages to be charming in my eyes though. Don't really see it as a bad thing, necessarily.

BvBB has the best design though.

This is the wonders of being in a cartoon. When they said you can grow up to be anything, you can be ANYTHING. And so frog bros wanted to become slots.

*or level design

The game has many good designs, but I find the art style too charming to fap to.

I feel sorry for you.

>>Bee turns into an airplane with saws on its wings

Didn't that boss have a big part in the games' promos? In any case I'm sure it generated a lot of buzz.

>it generated a lot of buzz

Is there a point to going for A+ ranks? Should I just beat the game once then go for S ranks?

How much does hard mode actually change the game?

Beat it in 15 minutes

>only seeing now that her hat is an ice cream cone and her head is strawberry scoop on top of chocolate scoop

It's the little things.

I, too, am wondering this.

Those are BUZZsaws on the wings, user

Actual love and care without an agenda to push or sales to worry about?

The pirate ship turns into a whale

Important Question:
Gorgon Cala or Mermaid Cala?

>Everyone posting fat mermaid
>not Baroness von Bon Bon

You put an extra 1 in there, OP.

>0/10

There we go.
>Fuck you!
No, fuck you - her name is the Splatoon 1 pun and her design is goddamn Giga Mermaid. None of this shit is original or groundbreaking, you're just ignorant, shit-flinging children.

Fuck you!

i love you man

>Artstyle

When will people stop using this buzzword to try and prop up a shitty game higher than it deserves?

>None of this shit is original or groundbreaking
Nobody said it was.
It is literally emulating something that is almost 100 years old. That is the point.

Because all the characters are stolen from pre-existing characters.

When you stop using buzzword as a buzzword

>Fat mermaid

Those proportions were the fucking SHIT back then. My favorite body type on a woman. 'Thicc' is cancer though as it gives women WAY too much leeway to be fat sacks of shit as long as they have some of the fat on their asses and thighs and thus you end up with stuck up cunts who all have the same ridiculous eyebrows and shitty personality posting their subpar asses on Instagram to crowds of horny men showering them with sexual praise and ego boosts in a vain attempt to get laid.

How the heck is that a buzzword. Every dang game in existence has a certain artstyle.

Betty Boop curviness > Olive Oyl spaghetti limbs desu

...

i'm not as autistic as you but i agree.
the designs are the most basic cartoon characters you can have, doesn't mean they're bad just boring.

>Make shitty diet Contra platform shooter
>Know it isn't gonna sell on the gamelplay whatsoever
>Watch some old cartoons and emulate the art and animations
>Suddenly a game that is easily a 4/10 indieshit shovelware is showered with praise by people who just want to get tattoos of the characters and post about how groundbreaking it is rather than play it

>Avatarfagging on Sup Forums of all places

Wow

So what's the lore on Cala Maria anyways
Is she naturally an evil sea witch, or was it just the evil eels changing her? Maybe she's just a misguided siren until you messed with her?

Was Betty Boop the original butterface?
That mug looks like a fucking basset hound.

...

>go on Sup Forums
>make up shit to support my bullshit opinion
>sit back and wait for somebody to reply to me
what's the next part of your master plan

Nah, she was an evil cunt the whole time.
The eels bite her because she's a submissive slut and she always has one wriggling around in her pussy and one deep in her butthole stimulating her.

It's a reaction image. Lighten up.

Baited for this exact response.

I like Cuphead, it's just not on a platform that I want to play it on.

...

>show up in most cuphead threads
>compare it to contra for some fucking reason
>people will surely take me seriously!

You can hide the threads if you don't like them. It's not hard.

...

...

Baited for this exact response.

Your next response will be

>I was just pretending to be retarded

I'm 4 moves ahead of you, kiddo.
I am the fucking OP of this thread, I made it specifically so I could make my posts, and I'll be making the next one too. And the next one, and the next one. And if I don't make them, I'll be there, and I will always be there, because I am a timeless, formless personification of shitposting and rage.

lighten up will ya

I almost want to know why you took my response seriously.

OP here. You're a deeply damaged individual.

>cuphead r34 sites almost reaching 3 digits now
Anytime soon lads

She’s got a sweet ass.

What does her ass taste like?

This artist needs to learn how to draw faces

doesn't kimochi mean feeling? don't get this reaction pic

OP here. I am a huge faget. Pls rape my face.

strawberry mochi

>a western animated waifu
never thought I'd see the day

It's simple, it wasn't designed by weebs or Tolkein fans with their cookie cutter designs.

Well user these styles are what eventually gave birth to anime in the first place

2 words
>hip
>sway

Ok one more
>HHHNNNNNNNNNNNG

You know they ripped off literally every piece of art in the game, right?

Honestly, the lawsuits are going to be flying once Cuphead racks up enough dough. Fucking EVERYONE has a fair shot of getting a piece of this, the guys who own Sinbad, the guys who own Olivia, goddamn.

kimochi ii
kimochi - feeling
ii - good
kimochi ii - feels good
usually just shortened to "kimochiiー" because it rolls off the tongue

God i hate chromatic aberration so much
