It is when you are the type of person who cares about funding projects that appeal to you. You lacking that intuition and self interest to get better games that serve you is your own prerogative. It's fine if you feel you are being satisfied with what the games market can produce now but some of us will want a game like Cuphead to be polished and hope it has a stable development environment in order to get that polish.
I fully appreciate what you are saying here. However, as a consumer none of that is my problem.
This is an enthusiast forum, so if may seem a bit out of keeping to not really be bothered about the making of a game or the sacrifices the developer has to go through but It is what it is.
I see a game like Cuphead and I want to buy it. It screams quailty to me and I will reward the developers on release, even though its on a platform that I barely buy any content for.
Pixel art indie shooters/ platformer look like shit to me. I have no interest in them and wish that more developers would aspire to creating something visually impressive like cuphead. Of course the devs arent trying to show anyone up, but that doesn't change the fact that clearly they are.
I understand that for many that is not feasible and that is totally fine, but im not going to figuratively pat them on the back, say "there there, at least you tried" and buy their game anyway. Nope. It looks shit. I dont want it.
Thats all im getting at. If Cuphead is as successful as it deserves to be, then maybe indies that can afford to play with artsyles will feel emboldened to do so, rather than just follow the eaiser route of emulating a "retro" artstyle with pixel art. Thats all I meant when I said take note.
"pixel art is shit"
"ok"
"if you have a problem with me say it to my face"
"ok, I have a problem with you"
"no u"
Been hyped for this for a while. Still looking fantastic.
I mean, was it as bad as casually devaluing an entire art style that many people love?
How dare you.
graphics aren't everything. If that's all you care about then you are missing out on a lot of good games.
Yet, it's 99.9% of the appeal here.
I wish there was a behind the scenes documentary on the development of this game. It looks amazing.
Awesome, thank you.Time recently did a feature on us with a bunch of art development videos if you're interested:

I dont have to like things because other people do.
Im going to be as tactful as I possibly can in response to this.
I hope you find a audience for your project.
But it comes with a great game attached, I promise!
Not port begging but I also wish it would've come out for PS4
Not port begging
What on earth are you talking about?
I dont have to like things because other people do.
I think the majority of pixel art games look like crap. Maybe it was unfair to not specfically preface my comment with a disclaimer that it is my opinion only, but I feel that should go without saying.
You are just as free to disagree.

I'm not asking for it to be ported to ps4? Just wish it would've been mulriplat though I'm not particularly upset about it.lol then what do you call it
Which brother is Teeth?
I'm sure
I hope the game is mega successful for you guys; I'll be doing my part.
I was wondering, in fact..
Say cuphead is successful and you have the chance to work on a sequel with a much larger staff, how would you expand the IP ?
Would a sequel look more like Megaman or, say, Monster World IV in structure ?
That's hypothetical of course, I'd imagine you'd like to explore other genres and artstyles next.
holy shit they really changed the game since reveal havent they ? overworld,shop, upgrades ?
this looks incredible
I really want to work on this project, as it looks like an incredible experience.
Eh, it wouldn't be too different from my previous design & storyboard jobs, so long as I can learn, earn, and get new contacts. Of course, I always make sure the job is on the level, along with seeing the guy offering me the job doesn't weasel himself/herself out to not paying me for my work.Do you like extremely long hours and low pay?
the music is amazing as well
I wonder what the music in this game will be like.
As for sequel, we're not even sure if there will be one now. There's a chance the next game would just be something new.
