Evolution of Cuphead 2010-2023

[@inertia179]

I absolutely love the cartoon style it adopted from cartoons before 1960s. So expressive, vibrant, and silly in a good way.

5:58 This is why mugman is blue and cuphead is red. While red is a warm color that pops out, blue does not pop out as much. And companies(like PayPal)use the color in their logo to appear trustworthy. While red is used by companies(like McDonalds) use the color in their logo to appear fun.

When I first saw a video about it on KZbin, I thought this game is based on an old cartoon already existing, but now I know all the artwork was made manually and so many characters and environments were developed for this masterpiece.

What a well structured and informative video. Great work! Love learning more about the game and the Moldenhauer bros!

Although I like cuphead I think other games with more copies deserved their own shows like bendy

[@michh.bsketbll]

cuphead doesnt seem like my type of game but i see why people could like it! its amazing how hard they worked on it!!

[@IanSonicGachaVA]

I find it very interesting how all the animations were done by hand it’s a good throw back to 1930’s cartoons but I never knew it took about 10 years for the game to come out due to that you could say it’s almost how Squid Game was made because the director had a 10 year journey being rejected by multiple Korean studios

[@TheCoolChocolate_Official]

Putting this into consideration, the DLC was probably worked on for 5 years, that’s why it released 5 years after the game came out

[@ladynikkie]

It's rare to see that form of art work anymore.

[@TheRealInvincibleFromTheShow]

Even if you’re a person who doesn’t rage at games, you’re still gonna rage at cuphead.

Another thing the Parry Slap can do (this is coming from someone who REALLY can’t beat the first dang level, even with 2 players): It can revive the other player if you make contact, yet the more you try revive your mug or cup sibling, the quicker the ghost rises.

If you play on the nintendo switch and you wanna get the black-and-white feature faster than to do all the levels as a pacifist just do this, go to your system settings go to change color and put it to grayscale or inverted you can get special effects color swaps

Ms. Chalice does give some great Elenor Powell vibes. She is one hell of a great female character

[@theonlybigsmoke]

She is actually pretty hot 😬😂😎🤠😹

[@smileyflamingo3676]

10:08 just wanted to give some context for this since it was just thrown out randomly. Her response to peasants running out of bread to eat was let them eat cake, but it isn’t even a real quote, it was made as propaganda to show how oblivious she was about the conditions of the peasants.

[@AlryFireBlade]

1 Tip: RENAME THE VIDEO! The Name let it seem like one of thousands of Videos that just shows about 10 sec of Gameplay from early Versions of the game. Videos that even I can make in about 1 or 2 hours. Closely I wouldn't have watched the video because of it. I just though OK, why not it kills 13min. But your video is way more then this.... way way more, and the title should reflect this. "The Creation history of Cuphead" would maybe fit.

[@volcano83]

I finished the game and DLC today. Was a truly excellent game and I loved every minute of it 😃

[@obaolade1232]

cuphead is one of the first indie games to have its own animated series which makes it like the god of indie games

I remember seeing it before E3 2015 and knowing everything was hand drawn and knowing that I had to have it. 2023 I finally have it because I was waiting for a physical release and the dlc included on switch. I came so close to buy it on pc in 2017.

[@BandLBestiebros]

Me and my brother have the same similarities to the creators of Cuphead. We both love 1930's cartoons, we love video games, and I love drawing! Also, we are too Canadian, which is purely coincidental. I ❤ Cuphead! 😊 🧚🏻‍♀️💥🪄🧸

It’s a nice touch that the narrator mentions the cake quote being attributed to Marie Antoinette and not said by her. While I do not believe that she did or didn’t say it, multiple sources state that she may not have said anything of the sort in her lifetime.

Cuphead wasn't the first one to actually use this style. Ducktales remastered used disney animation, a bit newer with mix of 3d, but duck tales remastered was the first attempt of doing something like that I think

[@JPI_RV]

Wow! It's such a lot of work to make this game. Thanks a lot for the video!

[@ladynikkie]

16:06 actually the first half of that fight was inspired by the silly symphony hells bells the second half was inspired by Fantasia. And when you beat the devil you get a trophy called swing you sinners which is a reference to the Max Fletcher cartoon

[@kimrand1088]

BTW in the 1920's to 1940's they used 12 frames per second they could still make the animation fluid while using less frames this would be cost-effective and less time consuming.

[@TheboyInPurple915]

I love how the game was inspired by 1930 cartoons, but the animated series completely deviated from that idea.

[@NotLadAnymore]

It didn’t really it just fit the 1940-1950 animation with the little lines and dot thingys that flash on screen and the fact that 98% of the series has one off stories like most shows at that time.
