Sniper level was the first glimpse at a cool idea this game has had so far. Too bad the gimmick got boring after a few minutes.

Probably because all the tools are for full 3D and that's what the artists are used to working with.

I only Kickstart webcomic printing runs and movies from creative people I know is within their scope like the Charlie the Unicorn movie for these exact reasons of this game. Video game kickstarters always seem to disappoint and it seems easier to just wait for release and buy the good ones then.

Although Undertale was great and if I had a time machine I'd throw a gently caress ton of cash at it for an immortalized tumblr Fandom drawing porn of my kickstarter backing tier.

According to the megaman thread going for 2d instead of 3d would be omg impossible because there are like no 2d artists left in the world because everyone uses 3d. There's no way they could ever get good quality 2d on their meager budget because stuff like rayman or dragon's crown were totally made by aaa studios tras that had like infinite money and some guy with a super strong artistic vision and HOW DARE YOU question their all knowing decision to go with 3d instead of 2d !!!

the best part of this whole argument was the people pointedly ignoring the fuckin baller rear end teaser animations they did in 2d with no budget or backing to speak of

apparently they couldn't make 2d work anymore through the pile of money they were drowning in

There's plenty of 2D animation software out there. Flash being the main one. They did all the graphics for Skull Girls in Photoshop. There are also plenty of 2D animators as well. They go with 3D because it's relatively low effort to make it look good but it can look really really hokey if you don't have good art direction. The 3D in Mighty no. 9 looks like student work.

It can be. The initial cost of a fully rigged and skinned mesh is pretty high. Upwards of 12k USD for really good work. For a game the scope of mighty no9 it would more reasonably be closer to 4-5k. However once you have that mesh animation can be much, much faster and can be more iterative than 2D. As for environment assets, you get a lot more resuablitiy out of 3d meshes because you can rotate and light them on different angles which reduces asset fatigue.
There is more to it but those are the biggest cost savings.

After a while it felt like it was really just a social media thing kept alive by people that need a stream of outraged indignation to have some purpose. Doesn't matter about what, or how slight or perceived the problem is either.

The only people who still care about gamergate to any significant degree are the people who hate it, and that's funny.

I have heard words similar to this from numerous reliable sources. I have also seen video evidence to support said statements.
