>Count Duckula confirmed>David Jason deconfirmedDoes that count as a monkey's paw?
I feel like every artist I see lately it's like>all my drawings are 100% real effort by hand, no AI, no shortcuts, I will never be replaced!>bros I just got fired, fuck AI, fuck everything! if anyone needs an animator please tell them about me
They have more stretchgoals added monday
>>151296040That popular reddit bird science youtube channel made an anti AI video purely to shill their art book with the "REAL art made by REAL people" routine
>>151295989I'm happy Dangey's getting new content but the chromatic aberration looks so weird.
>>151296067no idea what is that, only stupid bird I know is the duolingo thing who recently got an anime
>>151295989Not deconfirmed, doomer>but we'll have a larger update on Monday to talk about what is next now that all missions and the Count are in.

>>151295989This company's modus operandi appears to be as follows>pretend to be fans of some dated nostalgic /co/ property>beg for money from actual fans to create the "ultimate love letter" with "professional hand-drawn art">make low framerate jank recycling the exact same template every time with a fraction of the money>blow the rest of the budget on hookers and cocaine>repeat
Why's everyone here so negative? This looks so good, I'm hyped as hell
>>151297900>Series popular with Brits>On 4chanWhat were you expecting really, this is the recipe for negative nihilism
>>151296040Good. It's good to not be slop.
>>151297900>>151298267Your mistake was thinking anyone on /co/ would ever like and be positive about anything.
>>151295989judging from the designs, i think this is a continuation of the 2015 reboot, not the 1981 series(ngl i wonder if they're ever gonna broadcast it to nickelodeon in america this time)
>>151295989>David Jason Am I supposed to know who this is?
>>151300939He had nothing to do with the reboot so not really
>>151300939Very famous and beloved British actor who was the original voice of Danger Mouse and Duckula. Also Del Boy in Only Fools and Horses which while not /co/, you are genuinely missing out if you haven't watched.
david jason is almost 90he's too old to play the role
>>151302492To play DM and Duckula yeah, I don't think anyone is expecting that. But he could still potentially have a cameo.
>>151298267Did non-bongs get Danger Mouse and Duckula? I presume so but I'd be interested to know since there never seems to be much interest in either.
>>151295989I mean David Jason is old so I'm not surprised, but Duckula is a nice tradeoff.
>>151303051Danger Mouse actually was the biggest show on Nickelodeon in the USA before the Nicktoons fully took over, so is very connected with the 80s era of that channel.It was a weird period before original 90s content had long-term popularity and it never really aired anywhere after 1995 so it never was a long-term IP
>>151300939Zoomoid moment
>>151298429Ash Nicholls (who runs AoG) confirmed in an email before the Kickstarter that David Jason's involvement was planned as a stretch goal, he didn't say what for but it would probably be VAing for the classic form DM they showed in the trailer. That's why people are saying "deconfirmed" since there's no mention of him now. But there's still a chance they're saving it for Monday.
>>151295989SHIT I forgot about this. Was the mystery tier revealed yet?
>>151304563Yes, we get a shirt
>>151304563Mystery tier was a 2015 era shirt but they are revealing new stretch goals tomorrow since they already hit them all
>>151296040>>151296067>OMG I LOVE SLOPYou have a containment thread on multiple boards, and you STILL refuse to contain your cancer. Fuck off!
>>151304651That's it? THAT'S THE MYSTERY TIER?
>>151304492>But there's still a chance they're saving it for Monday.I don't understand why they wouldn't reveal that right away if they're banking on boomer nostalgiabux. I suspect they found out he's too expensive and quietly dropped the idea. Anons are saying he's too old but apparently he's still up for it:https://www.joe.co.uk/entertainment/sir-david-jason-says-hes-still-desperately-looking-for-work-aged-84-464814
>>151297694>low framerate jankWhoever said Penfold only had 3 frames of animation when he jumped in the trailer is such a brazen liar. I hate the state of the internet now where everyone takes every rando's post at face value as fact instead of as artistic works of fiction and falsehood.
Is it true that Calvin is working on this game?
>>151305705True, but also,
>>151305718no, tigers and mice don't get along too well.
>>151295989Why is Dangermouse skipping?
>>151305718Yes confirmed 100%, Shirakage is executive producer I heard
>>151305774You really think DM isn't the type to prance gaily
663% funded by 774 backers
>>151306614I’ll be interested to see the stretch goals this week.
Bump for waiting for the update tomorrow
>>151295989Does anyone care about Danger Mouse?
>>151308891I do. Especially the chicken.
>>151308912>Cartoon fag fixating on a garbage tier ugly waifuI blame myself for asking.
>>151308941>Uglyincel
>>151308891779 people do apparently
>>151295989if you use digital whatever, it looks like shit. this looks like flash. it looks bad. also danger mouse is for faggot britons
>>151303936Duckula was also on Nick for a while.
>>151309111 (check'd)My best guess for the cheap flash look is because they're not letting all the lines boil. It is frame by frame, but they didn't redraw the entire character each frame to give it that traditional look, they just copypaste then drag or warp tool the parts that stay mostly consistent and only redraw the more obvious moving parts. Ironically, perfect frame by frame animation comes from imperfection. Otherwise it makes them look stiff like rigs when they aren't. It might not even be their fault, they might be under strict orders to keep DM and Penfold as on-model as physically possible.Personally I wouldn't call it cheap flash at all. It's much higher effort than the reboot's animation in toon boom, which is just flash for industry people. The animations they showed off in the trailer were really cute. I like how it looks for the most part and I disagree with the anons accusing them of being lazy or fake fans who only care about money.
>>151295989I thought this was going to slow down around £20k, man wtf
how come only incels like AI slop?this is a pattern recognition I cannot excuse my autism from
>>151309923...Wrong thread? probably because incels are porn addicts and AI not only generates instant gratification for free but also means you don't have to socially interact to get a commission
>>151295989That filter looks so bad. Why are they so dark?
Playing as duckula is kinoMaybe give him a full game next
>>151311113Yeah. With the original design.
>>151304492mebbe he might play DM's long-lost father
2015 Danger Mouse was just Archer for kids
Nanny and Igor status?
>>151308891yeah idk danger mouse threads have always had that one crazy superfan/schizo stink to emI'm sure it's not just one guy but once you start seeing comp images that get reposted from thread to thread, you know there's one of the above posting like a third of the posts in a a thread
>>151312436I've seen my fair share of schizo/spam threads and nothing about DM threads stick out to me any worse than most other threads on this board. They're not frequent enough either, before this /co/'s barely had maybe one every few months if even that over the last few years and they died quickly, no super schizo autist fan was pushing them or keeping them afloat. These ones are only lasting because there's active news dropping and buzz about DM, even then I don't see any obnoxious or blatant samefaggotry unless you count you-know-who saying his own name again. I'm not denying there's noticeable regulars (though they come and go, there's some who I haven't seen in years) but eh, I doubt any one of them is a crazed spammer who rabidly obsesses over this show of all shows. The one single guy who I could absolutely believe would do that hasn't posted in nearly 7 years.
>>151312395If they acquired the rights to Count Duckula then they almost certainly can use them too. I predict cameos reusing old dialogue.
>grew up on the Nickelodeon DM>got the DVD set many years later > “WTF? Why does Stiletto talk different?”
>>151313317He was changed to cockney, right?
>>151296040real ART by real human beans!pls, support us!what do you mean you get better quality for free by AI chads???
>>151313317Fun fact: Stiletto’s full name is Stiletto Mafiosa.
>>151313317I hate his reboot voice so much it's unreal
>>151313360Why is it that I think most artists act like faggots yet I also laugh at the notion of an AIjeet prooompter being a "chad"
>>151313378Come Dine With Me guy is such a weird random choice I honestly kind of respect it. They had a vision.
Bump for monday
>>151314694If it's more clothes I swear to god. Nobody likes getting clothes as a gift.
This might be a good opportunity to bring something up related to Danger Mouse.Recently, it seems a channel named "Cartoon Classics" launched on Freeview that played various cartoons not currently on other channels, which include the original Danger Mouse and Count Duckula. However, it appears to have no signal for me (Freeview 214). Is it working for anyone else in the UK?
>>151314907Maybe it will be a vinyl. Honestly I’m just here for the pin and the coin.
>>151314694We are probably 6 1/2 hours off from new stretch goals if they put them up same time they started the campaign
>>151314907kek, danger mouse themed sock reveal
>>151317060
>>151295989Look, I'm happy for you and your detailed crestive process- truly beautiful things can be made with this detailed approach, the Cuphead game for example was stunning- but there's no need to put down other artists in some "holier than thou" way to sell your works.
>>151317206I'm not inherently against AI art itself, depends on how it's used, but people who generate it are not artists. At best they're clients commissioning the AI. If you mean the "cheap 3D" part, I agree, putting 3D artists down by implying their work is equal to cheap lazy AI slop is harsh.
Danger Mouse pinups stretch goal here we come!
>>151317686I fucking wish they were that brave. It would sell like hotcakes too.
>>151317317While I certainly was focusing on the 3d comment more because that's indisputably art, I do think there is a nuanced discussion to be had about thr merit of what creations are using AI. I certainly refute that AI generations using a tool that has trained parameter data off others' works is still expressing what the user wishes to convey>but you're not the one who actually drew or depicted it out, you cannot say your creative vision factored into the line desicions such as shape, thickness, etcTrue but as a perpetual unskilled novice artist myself, many times I have either failed to create the lines I envisioned or drew aimlessly and used what I had made INTO a purpose or meaning post-hoc. If I try to draw a square, accidentally make an unequal rectangle, and decide to use the botched rectangle for a purpose anyway, can you say my vision or expression through my haphazard untamed technique was any more utelized than generating an AI piece of my vision? If the answer is anything beyond a solid "yes" then the nuanced conversation is warrented.
>>151317877You almost pulled me into a debate but I see you're just using AI art as copium for insecurities and this has nothing to do with actual nuance or philosophy about artistic expression. Do whatever makes you happy, man. It's your life.
>>151295989THEY LOOK SO DANG CUTE
>>151317713It really is one of the biggest rewards for minimal expense you could do for a campaign Pay a few hundred for a days work of drawings and you’ll get thousands more then you otherwise would from people who want official horny art, on top of paying for it as an add-onNot necessarily for this one but surprised it is not more of a thing for kickstarters
>>151300939Stop reminding me I'm old
>>151317713>>151318263Are you guys retarded? That would be a PR liability. Danger Mouse is for kids, not fags and fujos
When's the next danger slop update
>>151318810Should be in a couple of hours.>>151318440Zoomers and their puritan culture wouldn't be able to comprehend the official raunchy shit that happened in the 80s and 90s.
>>151318440So is Pink Panther and he still has official pinups they sold
>>151295989It's unnatural seeing Penfold that big compared to DM. He should be a lot shorter.
>>151319409dm isn't standing upright
>more US backers than UK onesHow??
>>151319624Well in terms of total population share 367 Americans is smaller than 248 Brits
>>151319624There are americans who like danger mouse? i didn't think they'd heard of it
>>151319624>>151319727Dangermouse isn't euro-only. Most people who care about the original are American.
>>151319727It was a massive hit on nickelodeon in the states. When it stopped airing they made this unique promo for it that's unheard of for most shows unless they're extremely popular like family guyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unpVMjsuvFs>Nickelodeon was dead last in ratings on cable prior to Danger Mouse getting picked up in 1984. Even though YCDTOTV was their biggest hit up to that time, Danger Mouse marked the turning point for Nickelodeon.
>>151319963He just had to save Nick and give us zombie Spongebob. Gee thanks Danger Mouse.
>8 minutes past>No stretch goals addedIt is so fucking over Dangerbros Secret Squirrel won…
>>151320221Who?
>>151319727Yank here. Love DM. Haven't seen the new one yet. But the old was gold.
>>151319963I love reading people's opinions on Danger Mouse pre-reboot. Usually they argue the first few seasons were the best and everything after 1984 was downhill. Now post-reboot everyone says all 10 seasons of the original run are flawless and only the reboot sucks.
>>151320841Probably weapons grade nostalgia goggles
>>151320841I cannot think of a bad episode of the original show. I'm not saying there aren't any, but I've never watched an episode from the original and thought it was shit. Whereas there are definitely reboot episodes I would not bother watching a second time.
>>151321269>I cannot think of a bad episode of the original showThe Blue Flash episode
No updates?
Maybe the real updated stretch goal was the friends we made along the way
>>151321771>>151321878They're almost always late, like when they said they'd post the trailer at the weekend and posted it on tuesday. I don't know if it's a timezone thing.
>>151322353It could be that they're waiting for Burger hours to post the update as that's where most of the pledges have come from.
>>151322443Good point. I'm still surprised at those numbers.
Bump while we wait for updates
>>151323837Thanks m8
>>151323861No problem. It's sad to see these threads die while there's an active kickstarter and so many of the threads that do get engagement are utter shite.
>>151321269There's many classic era episodes where Danger Mouse and Penfold spend the majority of the episode essentially walking in circles making no progress towards their goal and everything happening is narratively meaningless, only for them to succeed instantly at the last minute because Danger Mouse is a proud gary stu.
>>151324027That doesn't inherently make an episode bad to me, that premise can still be very entertaining to watch. DM being totally bullshitly ridiculously op actually enhances episodes for me, I prefer that over him being sidelined or causing problems. It's a silly cartoon at the end of the day so I don't care about the "narrative"
>>151313086true, I didn't mean it in the awful thread ruining sense like true schizos, more so the zealous obvious-who-they-are types that post kinda weirdharmless in the long run but you can tell threads on the subject in question are gonna be eh and a lot of a handful or maybe one anon talking with each other/themself
>>151324671I only ever see "calvin" do shit like that but he only cares about Squawk so eh. There's been recurring weirdos like the femme fatale anon and the secret squirrel anon but none of them gave off any zealously obsessed red flags, and my radar's pretty honed to sniff that out. You make it sound like it's common sense DM would have threads like that but I don't think that's true, that's kind of unfair.
>>151325375Hey genius, that's literally the SSfag trying to slander DM again. Ignore him. He's like if some autist took the Ben vs Hal meme seriously and held a grudge against anyone on /co/ who likes Ben 10.
They crossed the 800 backers line! Here's hoping for updates soon
They seem a bit unpreparedLike they read 4chan and presumed this kickstarter would bomb, or if they were lucky barely squeeze in their main Duckula stretch goal at the very end of the campaign.Now they got everything within a week and have no idea what to do for the rest of the time
>>151295989>shitty remake danger mouse>animation includes resize squashing>final version is digital, not painted cel>>151308891I sort of care about the original because it's culturally English unlike the international slop remake
>We're working on it. There's already a lot of cameos. Just none that needed additional contracts, licenses and accompanying fees like Duckie poos.Which characters will get cameos?
>>151326082Those posers. It's duckieBOOs.
Are they going to reveal Duckula's 80's mode animations?
>>151319963Was that the original VA of DM dubbing? It doesn’t sound like the original DM’s voice.
Bamp
>No AI>Real people>Real Art>REAL REAL REAL>PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR MONEY JESUS CHRIST I SAID I HATE AI PLEASEThese people know that 99% of the loudest AI haters are literal children, right? They have the power to cancel you and lie about shit but they don't have actual money.
>>151303051Grew up watching both in the US back in the 80s.
>>151326016>final version is digital, not painted celAcetate painting is basically a lost art in the US. Importing lineart into Harmony and doing clean up and coloring there or in Adobe is way faster and cheaper. Only the weirdest animators are still trying to do real cel animation.
>>151303051Dude, I thought everyone knew mexicans fucking love duckulaLike brazilians and woody woodpecker
>>151308912If she doesn't have a move of her big butt bumping/squashing enemies, I riot.
>>151295989>"hand drawn" and "hand painted">digitallyits worthless
>>151328107"no AI" is the "gluten free" for zillennials
>>151328107>>151329612>No! You can’t advertise the fact you’re not using AI so they can filter out the slop! That’s not fair! And it’s also WOKE. And KIDDIE.Sad. Doubly so if you’re not getting paid.
They released the next stretchgoalsYou can tell they were not expecting this much support this quick
>>151329800So what are they?
>>151329846Well presumably the second one is a cricket mini-game (like that Winnie the Pooh baseball game?) but it’s all extra game features.
>>151330378Am I the only one who's starting to feel like this is some unholy combination of pre-ordering and DLC?Why do we need to fund Jeopardy Mouse for £49k? She doesn't require rights negotiation and it would be weird as fuck if they released a game based on the reboot without her in it at all. They've either completely run out of ideas on what goals to set and are just setting basic features they were adding anyway and expect to be funded regardless, or they were going to make the most bare bones low effort shit but thanks to our generosity they can make mediocre average shit instead.
I can't even see the Kickstarter because Cloudflare died
>>151330478I'm willing to defend the campaign and I think the game does look good ("mediocre" is cruel when it is frame by frame drawn), but Jeopardy costing £10,000 more than Duckula has made me a little suspicious ngl. I assumed she was already in the game as some kinda helper character like in Danger Squad. She's not much of a hype character to campaign a huge goal with. Dawn and Crumhorn are much more liked and they haven't gotten any word of confirmation. If it needs to be an ally, shouldn't it be a non-major character like Cupcake or Coney? Characters like Jeopardy and Danger Moth should be no-brainers.
>>151331125>shouldn't it be a non-major character like Cupcake or Coney?nobody knows who they are
>>151330478My guess is that this is for paying the programmers for extra work to put in this content. Nothing to do with licensing, she was probably going to just be a background character. Remember this is a close to finished game regardless What I really think is that the main big goal was getting funding for the Duckula license, which actually made sense for a stretch goal, and they expected that to take them up to the deadline. They did not expect them to blast through all of them in 3 days and have a whole month of nothing else planned. This reads they asked their programmers for ideas they could do over the weekend Which it is great Danger Mouse still has a lot of interest and is doing really great, but these guys were not prepared for a successful kickstarter. Swat Kats kickstarter you can tell was more organized
>>151330378Robot Danger Mouse and Penfold?
I'm 70% sure the devs are posting ITT
>>151331329Not really. Most of the reception here has been negative. And the speculation about their decisions doesn't come across like anyone's in-the-know.
>>151331329no, we are not!
>>151331125Oh come on. If it was Coney or whatever then your autistic ass still wouldn't be satisfied and you'd still be like>this is too obvious, they should've already been in the game! why wasn't it yumpferdinker from season 312 episode 27?!
What are the chances this could get new episodes greenlit?
>>151331501Considering they've been overwhelmed with so much money so quickly they don't know what to do with it... maybe
>>151329209Oh ffs how many Calvins are there?
>>151331423Sure thing Billy
>>151313317And nobody complained about Boris Badenov's voice.

>>151331707Remember when that was going to be a thing in TMNT Shredder’s Revenge with April?
>>151331707She's in the game, it may be a possibility…>>151331735What?
>>151331204They're not obscure characters. They each had a dedicated episode. The reboot doesn't have many episodes, it's not hard to watch them all or most of them.>>151331482No, actually. I'm not snobby or elitist like that. I just think it's suspicious wording to say Jeopardy is a "new backup buddy" meaning they already had the buddy character system in place, but there's scarcely any other buddies for DM to use at a base level. Cupcake lives on another planet and Coney was implied to be a hallucination and they were both one-off, so they're not as obvious as Jeopardy who's just another secret agent and had multiple episodes of her working with DM before.
>>151331501I fully expect more Danger Mouse animated content for the 50thDon’t know if it’ll be a new season or a special, 2015 designs or 1980s designs or something else entirely, but I expect them to make something
>>151331789Are all Danger Mouse fans this spoiled and entitled? Fucking unreal.
>>151331876Calm down Billy, get back to work on Count Duckula
>>151331746>What?In the initial trailers for the game April had an attack where she would do the R Mika butt punch.https://youtu.be/_RfrrEF1VLo?si=pWJ70KaLCoPU-fQx&t=23This got changed to something else, though you can mod it in.https://www.nexusmods.com/tmntshreddersrevenge/mods/7?tab=files
>>151332225I SO need Squawk to do this in the game.

>>151335658If DM were to crossover with something, what's the most likely realistic candidate? Besides Duckula.
>>151295989Why do people care about Danger Mouse anyway?
>>151336780Because he's the greatest
>>151336780I have never known any other cartoon to constantly get its mere existence interrogated like Danger Mouse does. As if it needs justification for approval to be so much as mentioned.>Who cares? Who cares? Nobody cares. Who cares?Why don't you shut the fuck up? How about who asked? If we wanted the opinions of tremendous self-absorbed faggots we would've inquired. Even in the face of an undeniable tidal wave of people who do care, this flaming faggotry never ends. The Problem Solverz gets less "Who cares?" posts when it comes up than Danger Mouse does. What did Danger Mouse ever do to make it too implausible that anyone could like it or have something to say about it?
