VG, I gotta ask. You seem like a good person and you've always been level headed when it comes to addressing issues in your forums

So what's your secret? Huh?! :tinfoil: Are you the guy who always leaves the empty toilet paper roll in the bathroom? Do you use recipes by Simply Sarah like that 4 billion calorie macaroni salad? Do you refuse to call dogs "good boy?"

My secret is loving chili and playing video games! :)

Nowadays I just like to be as polite and helpful as possible. However Rarity is correct. I am Kirby and I am the fabled eater of worlds and one day in the far far future it shall be my calling to swallow the earth. :3:

Ugh, everybody dogpiling some indie developers because their game looks like cuphead really grinds my gears.

Most of these people probably don't even like cuphead but they're still gonna poo poo on these indie devs.

You have any idea how much effort animation like that takes??

I loathe the belief so many have that the "idea" means you deserve millions of dollars. Its so toxic. Ideas are cheap. Everybody has ideas. Implementation is everything!

All fps games used to be called doom clones.

Everything about the game is ripped shamelessly from Cuphead except the quality of the animations

Its really not that uncommon in games at all.

Mario, sonic. Doom, duke nukem. Gradius, R-Type, Silvergun, etc. etc.

Seriously

None of those examples are like this though?

Like Sonic isn't actually the same game as Mario with the same art style. Duke Nukem doesn't look anything like Doom. You could make the argument for generic 2D space shooters but that's about it.

An actual good comment for that video brings up a really salient point about how bad it is; it stole Cuphead's big band soundtrack when it doesn't even fit the magical setting of the game at all.

Sure, the heretic devs copied doom because making an fps was intimidating already.

If they stole any cuphead art I'd say gently caress em, but if they draw everything themselves by hand??? That's fine.

I am arguing in good faith, please kindly never suggest that again.

And I never said anything about candy crush, cowcaster. You're the one arguing in bad faith here.

Woof. The scene with the witch looks almost competent and somewhat Cuphead-esque, but the spaceship scene looks terrible and the cow boss looks like it could have come from a modern-day Matt Groening production. And why are they being so mean to Princess Peach?

30s style art matches big band in cuphead but another game with the same art style doesn't?

Its not like cuphead invented the 30s. Wonder how many of these people have never seen old cartoons.

There's nothing wrong with being a cuphead copycat but there's also nothing wrong with people going "oh so it's cuphead but worse" when they see it

It's one of those knockoffs made to sell to people without access to the actual Cuphead.

Unfortunately for the developer that doesn't include the Switch any more.

I'd be fine with a cuphead copycat, and for sure cuphead doesn't have a monopoly on 30s cartoons.

But the gameplay on display looks considerably worse than cuphead so

I think the copycat game looks fine, with pretty great visuals and honestly could care less that it's a copycat. It's not like it means they put that much less work into it.
