It sucks when these projects show so much potential and can tell a genuinely great story, but it's all in service of promoting an NFT. A year ago, I got really excited when I saw a short film promo for a new Small Soldiers "Movie", where a company was able to buy the copyright (Not the IP, the copyright) to Small Soldiers and made a beautiful short with new Soldiers and Monsters that were fighting inside a toy store. It was beautiful, the designs were fantastic, it's everything you could probably want in a spiritual sequel to Small Soldiers. But, the project is being run by a bunch of NFT bros, although admittedly I still can't find the actual NFTs that Small Soldiers was supposed to promote.

[@kaiserblizz3401]

16:43 the reason why that one suzy snacktime animation seemed a bit off (and also a few others here and there) seems to be because its not really animated, but actually motion captured. That infact seems to be something they use a lot and they mix with animating on top of it or just animating from zero. However that one "teaser" was poorly made with little to no added animation or cleanup (since motion capture isn't perfect and will always give a janky result that an animator has to correct)

Other than the faceplanta and being a story about murderous entertainment robots, is it really a ripoff?

@@unkindled6410 You're surely assuming a lot from what were just cinematics... Yes, the setting of the story is a theme park. This doesn't automatically mean that it would have been an "exploration horror": it just means that they decided to use a setting that would look good in cinematics, and would be removed far enough from FNAF to avoid to look like a "hilariously-inimaginative rip-off" (as opposed to "just a rip-off, but it has some novelty"). Remember, they weren't even planning to make a game by that point. And even if they were, a "different setting" doesn't make it automatically "its own thing". Oh, and, about that... you seem to have missed that it has _always_ been about NFTs. The Twitter following had been informed about this since the very beginning.

As someone who loved Golden Lane studio back in the day, I can say the reason I stopped watching him is he became more and more inconsistent over time. He'd start on a series... and then stop shortly after he started with long periods of time between episodes. You'll notice one of his series, he started to cut corners instead of making a full episode, he would do "parts" of entire episodes (Like Episode 4.1 and 4.2) before dropping it all together. Golden Lane Studio feels like a real life Finbarr Calamitous from Jimmy Neutron. "The guy who couldn't finish anything". So seeing a 1 minute, 26 second clip where at most Tooki just does a trick and walks off a stage... with no other staff around since he's just... ya know, an animatronic... and it cuts off before anything interesting happens feels very much up Golden Lane's... alley.

@@unkindled6410 Nah I think its just that men r attracted mostly to the same type of women but women don't care about looks as much as vibes and character, so the 'hear me outs' are able to be the most fugly creatures imaginable as long as there are salvageable traits to be found.

Speaking as an artist myself, unless your sure an artist can deliver on a project, never give them your money. This is why portfolios are important.

[@MeoKidoToons]

Amen

[@Belicure]

I sometimes think "why don't AAA video game devs make women pretty or attractive anymore? people would be all over it." But then when they lean too much into those cute/attractive female characters, it can get very insufferable real quick. I even thought about doing this kind of thing for my own projects, but then I'd make a deal with the devil. Seriosuly though, this stuff looks downright cinematic. It deserved a better direction.

[@dansmith1661]

That is why you avoid the animes.

[@PazuzuDeamon4horsemen]

The real story about is that they where trying to sell nfts to get want they need to make the game but they never made the money to make the game. So it became a failure and everyone started calling them a scam. We all got was the cut scenes of the game only with trailer of the game. They used all the money on the cut scenes of character voices. They only had half a demo with all the money gone and so little to show for it. You can't refund what already spent. It sad how they try to use nfts to get more money to make the game.

[@grummanschumann6475]

it is kinda a shame that the quality of the models they got their putrid hands on was so top notch tho if im gonna be honest. my fave is the bird. id really enjoy the look of the vids they made if it werent for the obvious motion capture they used instead of real animation. in general tho, we dont need a 20th fnaf fan game. and of course because its focused on nfts, i am all for it to watch them get torched to death

this had such potential. the animation is one of the most beautifull things i've seen in the industry and looks like a hyper realistic video game, and yet an animation.

[@Covrse]

This is really sad. When I first saw the firmware corruption short film I saw a lot of potential and I really thought that it would make a great game (and/or series), but it's just another mascot horror ripoff, an embarrassment. If devs and animators really enjoyed their work, they would try to make something enjoyable, not milk it for profit.

[@LokiMartin-i6s]

They're trying to cover their asses in case they can pull through and produce a game\show and try to salvage what's left of their fan base, so they're spouting lies. They think they'll be forgiven if they say they "sold NFTs to help pay their animators 😢" because people will be like, "oh, they were paying their animators 😢 so altruistic, here, take our money!"
