"We have cuphead at home."

honestly it's a shame that it's such a blatant knock off bc i really do like the character design

skillmer

@gremlincore

maybe if it was like a quirky rpg i would be 100% down for it

Like there’s inspired by and there is “we filed the serial numbers off out back”

Oh please how much of a knockoff can it be

@mister_inkwell

Wed, Oct 9, 2019 11:02 PM

I was like I mean the styles reminiscent but that's not necessarily-- ah no it's just a reskin

wedding rose??

@jisusushi

Wed, Oct 9, 2019 11:02 PM

It looks like they actually put a lot of thought and effort into this, but at the same time, it still looks like Cuphead.

Rindude

@Bluebomber

Wed, Oct 9, 2019 11:02 PM

...oh

Drizzmas

@lightdrizzel

Wed, Oct 9, 2019 11:03 PM

I'd even be like "more Cuphead is good, that game was delightful"

Rindude

@Bluebomber

Wed, Oct 9, 2019 11:03 PM

....at least its more Disney Silly symphony then MRM?

@Lizadow

There’s being inspired and there’s outright skins and rehashes in it

Drizzmas

@lightdrizzel

Wed, Oct 9, 2019 11:03 PM

but it's just..... it's so similar

fish deranged

@mister_inkwell

Wed, Oct 9, 2019 11:03 PM

but I mean. shooters used to be doom clones. maybe we're just being resistant to the new fingershooty runnyjumpy genre

@lightdrizzel

Wed, Oct 9, 2019 11:03 PM

right down to the jazz music too

skillmer

@gremlincore

Wed, Oct 9, 2019 11:03 PM

yeah i was thinking "jazz doesn't even really fit the theme and tone of this game"

fish deranged

@mister_inkwell

Wed, Oct 9, 2019 11:04 PM

the style itself looks great, if less hand-drawn since it's so smoothed out

Rindude

@Bluebomber

Wed, Oct 9, 2019 11:04 PM

....Is that doge

@mister_inkwell

Wed, Oct 9, 2019 11:05 PM

but yeah between the controls looking to be the exact same and other design choices being copied. oof

skillmer

@gremlincore

Wed, Oct 9, 2019 11:08 PM

yeah i really do wanna love this bc, as i said, the character designs are super fun but... h....

That's about my reaction...

Drizzmas

@lightdrizzel

Wed, Oct 9, 2019 11:31 PM

they've said they're avid fans of cuphead and were inspired by it to make something similar

Drizzmas

@lightdrizzel

Wed, Oct 9, 2019 11:31 PM

but guys...... you can distance yourself from the original work a little

Rindude

@Bluebomber

Wed, Oct 9, 2019 11:34 PM

Hrm watching this a few more times an there are some clear differences at least

Rindude

@Bluebomber

Wed, Oct 9, 2019 11:35 PM

Like changing from Land to air midbattle and Air battle not having a preset weapon no matter what

Drizzmas

@lightdrizzel

Wed, Oct 9, 2019 11:40 PM

there are some differences, like potentially those, and apparently status effects that can happen in battle

Drizzmas

@lightdrizzel

Wed, Oct 9, 2019 11:41 PM

but it's all very clearly directly inspired beyond that

fish deranged

@mister_inkwell

Wed, Oct 9, 2019 11:54 PM

if you look at it and say 'this looks like a reskin' i'd say a few smaller mechanic differences don't really change much

fish deranged

@mister_inkwell

Wed, Oct 9, 2019 11:54 PM

like right down to the attack posing, it looks the exact same. i'm not gonna say it's traced but it was at least Heavily Eyeballed

Drizzmas

@lightdrizzel

Wed, Oct 9, 2019 11:54 PM

yeah

fish deranged

@mister_inkwell

Wed, Oct 9, 2019 11:55 PM

which again stinks because the DESIGN is really cute

skillmer

@gremlincore

Wed, Oct 9, 2019 11:56 PM

i feel sorry for the poor character designers and animators

fish deranged

@mister_inkwell

Wed, Oct 9, 2019 11:57 PM

yeah this clearly had a ton of love put into it

fish deranged

@mister_inkwell

Wed, Oct 9, 2019 11:57 PM

it's not like a shitty xblig minecraft clone

fish deranged

@mister_inkwell

Wed, Oct 9, 2019 11:58 PM

imagine if the music was more orchestral and they'd differentiated the combat a little more

fish deranged

@mister_inkwell

Wed, Oct 9, 2019 11:58 PM

then it'd feel like a disney flavor companion piece

Drizzmas

@lightdrizzel

Wed, Oct 9, 2019 11:59 PM

yeah!!

Cuphead had problems as it was getting funding

if we can have a ton of "souls like" games, we can have "cuphead like" games too

fish deranged

@mister_inkwell

Thu, Oct 10, 2019 1:44 AM

i feel like there's a difference between 'this basic premise, goth fantasy but it's hard, again' and 'this very specific premise, right down to the visual and musical style, again'

Enchanted Portals - A Shockingly Brazen Cuphead Ripo...

jim sterling talked about it too and it sums up my feelings on it for the most part

@mister_inkwell

Thu, Oct 10, 2019 1:53 AM

i mean listen I hope it gets through and gets made, I think it'll be good, I just think it could have been better if they tried to make it more their own thing

@mister_inkwell

Thu, Oct 10, 2019 1:55 AM

I'm not saying OMG IT LOOKS THE SAME SHUT IT DOWN

@mister_inkwell

Thu, Oct 10, 2019 1:57 AM

the basic idea, a nostalgic run and gun boss rush game, is good
