How I Turned An Indie Game into an Anime

[@BenStoneking]

Benny boy just vibing in the background. Probably hiding out in that geodesic dome.

[@G33X]

I don't fit

[@HopDodge]

The level of skill on display here is unlike anything I've ever seen in gamedev youtube. You really make some next level quality stuff. Not just the animation, but this video explaining too. Keep on keeping on Addy.

[@AddyValentine]

Hey man! I really appreciate it! I work real hard on my shit so it means a lot

[@digis_monkey_king]

Don’t know why, but the lyrics at the end definitely sounded like “become a baby man!” Had to listen a second time before I heard it correctly.

[@Xiimo_]

I didnt remember the game but i did remember that trailer, you are an extremely talented person. Amazing job!

[@AddyValentine]

Thank you so much!

[@UncleBurrito15]

Good stuff, I'd personally not reduced the base resolution and then upscaled because of how unreals TAA makes it smeary at low fps + low res (why would you use temporal solutions at these settings at all?). I think keeping it at 60, 90 or 120 at 2x res and then using frame blending + offset subsampling would probably create an image that is more accurate looking with less temporal artifacting oh and some motion jpg compression for good measure

[@RugbugRedfern]

The animation adds so much compared to the original gameplay trailer! Are you planning on doing more animations in the future? 👀

[@AddyValentine]

It's just another tool added to the tool box so there's no saying what I'll do next!

[@ElickFlash]

Nicely Done Lads. Also still need to Thank Benny Properly for the additional Animation advice on Discord back during the Jam.

[@AddyValentine]

It'll make his day!

[@gamingdebugged]

Now THAT was a video! A slice of fried gold! Funny, educational and slightly unhinged! Subbed!

[@AddyValentine]

Welcome to the most unhinged game development channel on the internet!

[@CupOhJoe]

Still gotta pick up Berserk Boy, but you guys killed it on the trailer! Awesome breakdown on everything too, looking forward to catching more stuff!

[@AddyValentine]

Thanks a million!

[@ninkotop]

Looks just like the boy and the heron!!

[@AddyValentine]

I am the true successor. Goro, eat your heart out.

[@Aftermathz]

How do you only have 360 likes after posting a day ago when you make great content and have 4.34K subscribers?

[@AddyValentine]

I know! I would have expected less

[@KajunoHodunan]

Bro , i want to make manga because games are things you play not watch soo i cant apply my story fully on a game but i cant do manga either bechause i dont draw and i dont think an other drawer cant make the same as i thinked in my head or better.

[@JuhoSprite]

How do I get a sixpack

[@AddyValentine]

I don't think thats within the realm of possibility

[@JuhoSprite]

@@AddyValentine one can dream

[@G33X]

They sell 'em at grocery stores, but sometimes the burden of choice is too heavy to find the best drink you want 6 of.

[@veryunslay]

thank you for sharing your workflow!! the final trailer looks so good o: really captured that anime feel

[@AddyValentine]

No problem! And the song at the end is a silly ai song I made in honor of the berserk boy himself.

[@veryunslay]

@@AddyValentine DAMNNN thats why i got no results when i shazamed and googled the lyrics and everything 😭i need a full version on spotify or sumn

[@burnheart2965]

You got some massive balls taking on such a project without a lot of prior experience. The end product is really good! Did you share the vulture paycheck with Benny equally?

[@AddyValentine]

No balls required! I procreate via pollination. And yes, Benny got his fair share. The greedy jerk

[@shamusmoore]

holy shit nice animations bro

[@AddyValentine]

Thanks bro!

[@Blekoh]

Awesome dewd! The end result looks sick! I also have that same book hah

[@AddyValentine]

It's a good one! The production diary is probably the best part for me

[@ieJoMaFlo]

9:05 looks like some pretty advance animation… Or at least that’s the impression that I get

[@AddyValentine]

I'm sure it isn't good. That's the impression that I get

[@robertcopp2411]

Is the song at the end a real song associated with the game? because it's cool as shit

[@rmanthorp]

Berserk Boy whips 👏

[@THEKHAYYYAM]

HOLY SHIT BERSERK BOY MENTIONED WTF LETS GOOO

[@meme_machine6817]

Is Benny a man of culture?

[@AddyValentine]

If you consider Digimon culture

[@ImOmerAhmed]

i fw addy valnetine hard

[@jackguhl8649]

Real asf

[@PinoPrime]

BENNYYYYYYYYY

[@mutantshrimp168]

HE IS YOUR BROTHER?!

[@AM-IDIR]

When are u gonna fight jake paul?

[@AddyValentine]

Not until he can square up like a real flower-man

[@Enite]

Kirbopher?

[@AddyValentine]

Who?

[@Enite]

@@AddyValentine Animation style looks exactly like Kirbopher, which has a very distinct style! Check out T.O.M.E. by Chris Niosi indie web anime about a virtual MMO. I'd be very surprised if your animator hasn't heard of his work!

[@AddyValentine]

@@Enite Oh interesting! Yeah I checked it out. Can't say I've ever seen any of his work before

[@Enite]

@@AddyValentine Fun coincidence! Genuinely shocked your channel hasn't caught on as much as I'd expect. Do you use a VR headset to vTube? We gotta get you a better marketing strat! Great stuff and glad to see you getting into animation.

[@MeowsyDancer]

bruh leave some skills for the rest of us

[@AddyValentine]

I'm coming for welding next. Watch out
