@confess_cuphead some things yeah, others not. i feel cuphead just got the main feel of rubberhose down, but at a closer inspection you can see a lot of stuff is off

"I feel like Cuphead is the only game that understands how the rubber hose style works, like have you seen other games that try to make it look like the rubber hose style lmao"

@theworld_ender @confess_cuphead i mean that kinda applies for the whole game, cartoons in the 30s used songs or arrangements that were based in the jazz age until about 1936. cuphead on the other side sounds like glenn miller/benny goodman 1940s baloney. but yeah the howling aces specially does sound too modern

@HenrysInkwell @confess_cuphead I agree with this assessment, the music in the DLC feels much newer as well. The music where you fight the howling aces straight up almost sounds 50’s in style, very starkly different from the music of the base game. It’s still probably set in the 40’s though

"What exact year do we think Cuphead is? The menu cards say 1930, Cuphead Club card says 1932, but the Howling Aces use Radiotelegraphy from 1939"

FANART OF SOME INSPIRING ARTISTS OC’s✨ (I might make more 🤔) @MisterGaspToons @InkwellInsanity @HenrysInkwell @ToonyCryptid @DanielBuenrost0

@caethecreature @confess_cuphead it's the same for me, the game is great and i love it, and the art is beautiful and it's made by amazingly talented artists, but it's just not the 1930s. the music is also 40s-50s swing, in contrast of the 20s-early 30s foxtrot that era cartoons actually used

@HenrysInkwell @confess_cuphead okay yeah as much as i love cuphead i do see your point

@caethecreature @confess_cuphead that's the thing tho, cuphead happens at some point of the 1930s, not the 40s. and the thing is that CH is inspired by many different aspects of the era, which results in a style salad as some things look 1920s, others look just fine, and others look like the 40s

@HenrysInkwell @confess_cuphead that's because some aspects of it are based on cartoons from the 40s, by which point animation techniques had advanced quite a bit

OpenAI is shutting down its AI video slop-making platform Sora.

@NullType @Silly_Inkblot @blinkledongle the damage cuphead and bendy have done to modern attempts at rubberhose

@blinkledongle Is there a so retro equivalent for old cartoon styles, because why do all the background characters have big pacman eyes this does not feel like old mickey style

How did they make this and not be a little embarassed

@ArthurRiverola @bendytwtconfess i also did a test by putting cuphead into snow white, big difference, i think CH is nowhere near snow white. also i think its funny the game is originally set in 3 strip techinicolor in 1930, while it wasnt implemented in cartoons until 1932. it should be on 2 strip or bnw

@HenrysInkwell @bendytwtconfess Fair enough. Yeah, it isn’t anything like swing you sinners. What I ment is that Cuphead is way closer to Cartoons like the Betty Boop Snow White, and that one is still early 30s. Or even (but not so much) Bimbo’s Initiation, but only in the way Bimbo is drawn.

"Bendy is just as time period accurate as cuphead, I will die on this hill"

@ArthurRiverola @bendytwtconfess yes but cuphead is set in the early 30s, cartoons were still raw. they didnt get smoother until the late 30s. they claim their main influence is swing you sinners, the roughest thing ever, yet it feels like a 40s WB short. also the music is 40s swing, it should be 1920s foxtrot

@HenrysInkwell @bendytwtconfess The 2014 trailer is specially accurate in my opinion. But, to be fair. The 30s were the time where Cartoon really started to get “professional” to say so. Way more clean and even Fleischer started to follow model sheets.

@ArthurRiverola @bendytwtconfess exactly!!! just watch any of the beta stuff and the 2013-2014 trailers and it feels so much in style. much more rough and dirty looking, like actual rubberhose does. although i can totally see the dlc being set in the 40s, but definetely not the 30s

@HenrysInkwell @bendytwtconfess Oh yes, I see and you are completely right. I would say Cuphead’s art and specially animation style draw more from 1940s to even a lot of modern 2010s ways of drawing and animating. It looks too clean and smooth, not as snappy and rough.

@2Blocko @FireSkulls4ever @bendytwtconfess but he hasnt, and he released a game that's supossed to be set in the 1930s with a 2000s corporate rubberhose style. all of the artists are incredibly talented, i just think the art direction should've been more era accurate

@FireSkulls4ever @HenrysInkwell @bendytwtconfess Unless the meatly hires different artists

@FireSkulls4ever @bendytwtconfess def, but still not quite it. what annoys me is how you can notice the changes in animation and how some look more fluid than others sometimes in the same boss fight. its just a style salad. the music kinda annoys me too, its literally 50s swing in the 1930s, the game is great tho

@HenrysInkwell @bendytwtconfess Cuphead will always be more accurate to 30s rubberhouse than Bendy tho.

@ArthurRiverola @bendytwtconfess the beta and unreleased content, take the 2013 trailers, cuphead's old design, etc. goopy is the only in-game remnant we have of thst era and he's probably the most era accurate character in the game. for instance i inked a concept sketch from that era and it fits really well!

@HenrysInkwell @bendytwtconfess I completely agree, but do you mean by “early stuff”? I am curious.

UNCLE! UNCLE! #Cuphead #fanart #1930cartoon #StudioMDHR

@Oblivibun @SomeRandomMale2 @DoofyDoofas yeah theyre quite fluid, but not as fluid as the cup de grace animations. the point of cuphead is to try to keep that 1930s cartoon feeling, ofc theyre not gonna make it extremely fluid

@munchanddcrunch the animation is great, but my personal complaint is that it's not only too fluid to be cuphead, but style-wise, none of the characters do their minimum to try to be a part of the cuphead (or any rubberhose style) universe

yeah maybeee its smoother and has more animation but it doesnt look better
