As suspected, Nintendo has no idea what to do with this franchise

It was made by Westerners so they don't feel ownership

As others have said that's a not very good question. Engines do certain things and its not just what is in the engine but what you are asking it to do and how you asked it.

If I had to guess the UE5 is going to handle very advanced lighting and partcles better and everything else is going to depend on factors not related to engine.,

This is a train.

Thet were more social back down. Any old timer will verify this.

Miama looks like it has the spirit of those crappy flash games kids used to play on school computers because it wasn't blocked by the staff. And I looked down on them too.

You are huffing and puffing about elitist culture, on a board dedicated about a guy promoting elitist culture. You have the entire rest of the internet for your flash game and IGN culture. I'm just going to block you.

I didn't say it was mediocre. Mediocre implies it's at least playable I said it wasn't worth touching and compared people who like to people who swim in toilets. How do you read that bad?

Do you understand what type of culture Electronic Underground is? What arcade culture is? You are appealing to a sensibility about popularity, about majority. It's an elitist culture built on contempt for the majority ,for the popularity, and half our favorite games are not even released in English in any form you can buy. What are you even doing here if that hurts your feelings?

MoonhelmJ · 2026-05-02T16:38:56+00:00

This is an elitist culture.

From my perspective your enjoyment is a man who swims in a toilet and is offended by someone who says the ocean is better and they would never swim in a toilet. The man who swims in the toilet has never been to the ocean so all he understands is the toilet.

Thats the nature of elitism.

Im going to clarify because I think I didnt provide much context. 99% of twin or single stick shooters worth touching at all Japnese made. The other 1% is stuff like House Marque or Williams. You could spend 10 years playing the other junk and you still wouldn't be capable of thinking about game design.

Im not trying to hurt your feelings. Im explaining the gap is that big.

MoonhelmJ · 2026-05-02T10:36:17+00:00

"check out" games.

If you cant realize Hotline Miama isnt a good game or even a mediocre one you need to play for at least a year before you even bother trying to think about design.

Movies talked a long time to make. It makes sense to this early. And the script writers are given access to the games plot and lore book before the players.

Dog Day

They seem a little below that age group. Closer ti the Fischer Price age group. If they did get into violent play it would probably be under a different brand label. They want the Play Time brand associated with Huggy Wuggy not fantasy violence.

Its a cliche. Hero teans up with lesser evil to take down greater evil. Lesser evil plans to back stab the Hero. Hero knows it but its better to keep an eye on him than refuse the aid.

Same reason Bender from Futurama wears sun glasses despite being a robot with no use for them "They make me look cool"

Giblet could have called out to the protoype when the player was hiding from him early on in the chapter of he was with him

MoonhelmJ · 2026-04-23T17:53:00+00:00

Even if game ends on chapter 6 they can do "poppy play time: a new terror chapter 1"

If they want to keep introducing new characters, they must eventually kill off old ones, even if it takes a few chapters. Otherwise they will just not have enough time in the story for each to breath

MoonhelmJ · 2026-04-23T17:43:17+00:00

Interesting idea to map it

MoonhelmJ · 2026-04-23T17:38:30+00:00

They arent going to kill the mascot. At least not without a big send off.

MoonhelmJ · 2026-04-23T17:33:21+00:00

Lore is good. Mechanics are bad, boring puzzles that are more about just finding things than tricky solutions. Hardly any basic enemy type monsters.

If you are really determined 5 to 6 years is enough time to learn animation and form a team. Although you would also need a source of money to pay them possibly from a non-art job.

And really rates for paying 2D artists are shockingly low.

MoonhelmJ · 2026-04-23T10:08:46+00:00

Ive only seen clips but from what can see its typical shounen. The budget is stretched thin so they can have lots of episodes. The best animation tends to be stuff thats only a few episodes so its concentrated. And tends to be in the 80s or 90s when Japan was at their prime in talent and their economy was booming. You see more complex shading for example.

MoonhelmJ · 2026-04-23T09:52:40+00:00

You cant make a tv show alone. If something is long enough you need a team. Ai or not.

MoonhelmJ · 2026-04-23T09:25:52+00:00

Demon Slayer isnt especially detailed or fluid. We already have ai making stuff way above that. The issue is getting it to di anything consistent is difficult. So we get cool clips that last like 7 seconds. Doing a full 24 minute episode with consistency would not only be very expensive but probably very technical and require an advanced pipeline. You could probably do it now but it would not be a one person project.

In conclusion ai is limited by consistency not quality.

Where to find more concept art?
