>what if le video game characters were self aware... again...Yawn! Don't we have two Wreck-it Ralph movies, Undertale, Deltarune, The Stanley Parable, and several other metafictional indie games for that?I'd said, I would absolutely dick down the cat girl.
>>153697559Yes also we should have never made any more capeshit after superman
What is this shit and why does it have like 6 ongoing threads
>>153697622some new indie cartoon with a goonbait main character.
>>153697622You msy not know the phenomenon these days but that's what happens when we get new cartoons
>>153697622New catwife just dropped
>>153697559>Undertale, DeltaruneI have never played either of these but so far ive never heard anything about the characters of undertale or undertale 2 actually being aware of the fact that theyre in a video game
>>153697559Please stop posting these garbage edits.
>>153697659Doesn't happen for every indie pilot.
>>153698109Find one where it didn't
Everything other than the animation was shit, but I don't think anyone should be surprised it was shit since it's literally made by the fucking Game Grumps guys trying to reach an autistic zoomer audience.
>>153697672>but so far ive never heard anything about the characters of undertale or undertale 2 actually being aware of the fact that theyre in a video gameThen you've never engaged in the discussion of them whatsoever, one of the main pivotal points of Undertale is that a handful of characters are blatantly aware they're in a video game and will directly tell the player to cut shit out if they perform certain actions.
>only 3 million views after 13 hoursGameoversebros it's so fucking over... game over perhaps
>>153697661kill yourself /v/tard
>>153698125It’s less that they’re aware they’re in a videogame and more that they’re mildly aware of (you) as an extra dimensional entity.
>>153698119LMAO this is fucking game grumps????
>>153698125Again ive never played either of those games and i dont really even care for them either. Undertale was over hyped shit just like all the other trendy meme vidya slop from the mid 2010s but at least it was less obnoxious then FNAF faggotry and had a hot goat milf in it but thats not to say undertale fandom wasnt obnoxious still cuz it fucking was.
>>153698186Some of the actions of Chara and Sans make no sense unless they're actually aware they're in a video game, Chara especially.
>>153698204I didn't suggest otherwise and I'm not really sure why you're replying to me with something I completely agree with, I was just pointing out that some of the most famous aspects of the game involve characters that are aware they're in a game so you must have completely skirted discussion about it altogether.
>>153697559>American copies Japanese media >Adds self aware elements that people like Japanese media for NOT having Every Single Time
Is every indie animation project some variation of "what if [media i grew up with] was subversive and/or fucked up??" now?
>>153698217Nope
>>153697559Animators will try and copy every anime before learning theres more to Western animation besides Disney, Family Guy or Steven Universe
>>153698119Like how Class of 09 was SoulBrothaNumbuh3 trying to reach the same people he mocked for being autistic?
>>153698213>I was just pointing out that some of the most famous aspects of the game involve characters that are aware they're in a game so you must have completely skirted discussion about it altogether.I will admit i too find it strange how that one seemingly important aspect of the lore completely escaped me even after all these years of hearing about people talk incessantly about the furry game that radiation from homosuck made. However keep in mind that most of the time i ever talked to anyone IRL about undertale it was either about how i thought it was overrated and lame or making jokes about sans and how tumblrites wanted to fuck the manlet skeleton.
>>153698204>ive never played either of those games>undertale was massively overhyped
>>153698206Sans perceives it solely as timeline fuckery, all the other aware of it as a form of magic available to human souls only, chara being one of them. No one sees it as a video game
>>153697622New indie animation (sponsored and financed by big corpo).
>>153698398Nice cope
>>153698303>>153698391
>>153698387Yes thats exactly what i said, your point?
Oh God you fags are actually getting into Undertale lore discussion, next you'll be saying that Chara was an actual human player because the only way to get a human soul is to be a real human playing the game which is how he's so aware of everything.
>>153697559>what if i make the dozenth thread for this pilot while several are still active?
>>153698217> >Adds self aware elements that people like Japanese media for NOT having Its also just shallow. We've seen what Japan does when it does go self aware metanarraitive, and its frankly just more interesting than "Wow, imagine if your life was just a game to someone else? What if we don't, like, matter? Wouldn't that be fucked up?"Instead you have Re:Creators. > humanity creates fictional worlds without realizing it> fictional characters get pulled into the 'real' world by the antagonist. "Revolution for your world. Punishment to the land of the gods."> the creations find the real world overwhelming to be in not just because its unfamiliar, but because its so much more information dense. Someone who has a character trait of constantly drinking coffee only ever actually TASTES it for the first time in the real world, because the taste of coffee was never actually described in their book.> characters from stories in very different genres don't understand why the world doesn't run on the conventions they take for granted, like a magical girl from a children's show that cannot conceive of the power of friendship not working or that people can be hurt by collateral damage because thats literally never happened to her before> A character from a fucked up dark fantasy world kidnaps her author, locks him in a basement, and threatens to kill him if he doesn't write her world a happy ending right fucking now. Do you have any idea how many people have died for your entertainment?> a protagonist from a story thats about fighting against a foretold destiny realizes that even their 'defiance' of fate is itself predetermined by their author writing them that way, putting them in direct conflict with the central thesis of their character> NPC from a video game naturally speaks in giant expository infodumps because thats their role as The Sage. Their creator passed away already, so they play the game he made to see their world as he didAnd so on.
Undertale and Spiderverse made the whole world retarded.Nowadays everything is just "imagine a story where the characters know they're in a story and they try to escape the story" like fuck ooooooff.
>>153698876‘Spiderverse’ is about alternate universes.
>>153697559Just post the NON EDITED one next time, dumb OP it looks fine enough as it is
>>153697559Supposedly they've been trying to make this show for 13 years, so yeah no wonder the core concept feels dated as shit.
>>153699369That and stuff like Kit's Blonde "Friend" photo makes it feel like it was abandoned, re-started development when Pibby got popular, and added contemporary LGBTslop for a fake audience to make it easier to sell to higher-ups.
>>153697559>>153699365>No visible asscrack WTF is this shit? cats should stick their bare asses out!
>>153699395Agreed
>>153699365>>153699395>>153699413
>>153699431
>>153699395>>153699413
>>153697559It's the most "This was conceived in the mid 2000's for G4 and it shows" show in existence.>>153698204Anon is sorta incorrect.They don't know they're in a video-game but are "aware" of the player as some other entity pulling the strings.
>>153699463Easy there big boih
>>153699351"a story where the characters know they're in a story and they try to escape the story" describes Spiderverse 1 and 2 pretty perfectly.
I hope all the games they go to aren't knockoffs of old retro games. It'd be interesting to see them go to a more meta game, or one where there's no real ending. Something like The Stanley Parable, where the whole thing is that it never ends and there's not a hero or villain.
>>153699413I like brown girls and catgirls, but this episode doesn't do it for me, also it barely counts as "indie" given all the companies involved, the merch and Gay Grumps voice acting, I don't hate GLITCH, but it is time for them to stop pretending they're "indie"
>>153699365
>>153699557I really want them to go to a game where the setting sucks and the question is if "saving" it is worth it. Either >Post-apocalypse STALKER or Fallout rip-off game where everyone is suffering.or, and they will never have the guts to do this one but edginess aside I do think could be intresting: >Wolfenstien.
>>153699557Leaked model sheets from back when it was first announced had a FNAF parody.Also that of course means the show is "greenlit" already, but try to act surprised in four months when they think it's time to confirm it.
>>153699557I wonder how they'd handle a game like Civilization, where the default rules mean that a player "wins" after a certain allotted number of turns if no specific victory conditions are met.
>>1536993692009 actually. So 17 years.>no wonder the core concept feels dated as shit.Even by 2015 it was already dated. WIR, The Stanley Parable and Undertale were already out by then.>>153699557It does feel dated in that way too. "20 year old man feels nostalgic for games from the 90s" was a popular trend in the 2000s, and it makes feel old that I'm their age now and feeling nostalgic for the GameCube and Wii era.
>>153699413Not bare, but close enough
>>153699465Should do like MahoAko and show the nipples during her transformation sequence
>>153699557>the gang fuck up again, and the hero beats the villain>cue despairing kit and celebrating baddies>nothing happens, the hero just loots the boss and walks off because it's a survival crafter with no set endingcould be a fun gag

>>153699579>>153699727There's a official Samurai Pizza Cats comic book coming out next month, still no date for the new game
>>153698217>Adds self aware elements that people like Japanese media for NOT havingGintama? Keroro?
I hope we get a few flashbacks about her.
Thought it was fine; animation's pretty good and I chuckled at a few of the jokes. It's nothing groundbreaking or generation-defining, but it's fine, and I've frankly I've never understood this kick /co/'s been on the last few years where every show either has to be the greatest thing since sliced bread or else it's irredeemable crap.
>>153699413Based Aisha enjoyer
>>153699540They’re not trying to escape it, just change it.
>>153698391>fall the other aware of it as a form of magic available to human souls onlyThat's not true, though. It's tied to your determination. Flowey had this ability at the start of the game, before you came along.
>>153697622It's just shills paid to spam
>>153700027It's anti--wokies crowing like this is a big victory because big fat cat tats and digital circus fujoshi melting down because the protag isn't a sad tube with body dysmorphia.
>>153698125it’s not that they’re aware they’re in a video game, it’s that the game mechanics are also things that exist in universe.for example, Frisk can make choices while every other character follows a script because Frisk is the only one with DETERMINATION, or the power to “change your destiny”.but in practice this makes very little difference. obfuscated meta is still meta.
More style over substance indie slop. Sigh.
>>153700116le sigh
>>153697622It’s the usual /co/ new-show thing where there’s only one or two actual genuinely made threads and a lot of very blatantly obvious bait threads to farm (you)‘s for attention. Usually calms down after a week or so when they get bored and move on.
>>153697654
>>153700258>furfagopinion discarded
>>153697622It's GAMEOVERSE! And it's being spammed because literally every person aware of the pilot wants to fuck the catgirl
>>153697659the indie scene must be absolute dogshit if this ugly cat is getting spam gooner threads
13 fucking Gameoverse threads in the catalog, btw.
>>153700357Go away /v/tard
>>153698779TADC got close to this kind of self-awareness when Gummigoo the NPC realized he couldn't remember what his mom looked like because she was only ever mentioned as part of his scripted backstory, never given a character model of her own. That opened the door to him realizing he couldn't remember anything in his past apart from a single childhood experience, and anything he did know was because he was scripted to know these things.
>>153700381And only like 2-3 are actually active, since 90% of them are just blatantly obvious bait threads farming for attention by people who almost certainly don’t care.
>>153697559I have a theory that a lot of webshows and indie games have a lot of faux anime, furries, cutesy characters etc because after cringe culture, people decided to "redefine" the concept of "sincerity"So to some people, anything that autistics might like automatically means "sincere" even if the product using those specific elements is still full of irony and self awarenessSame with people associating limited game graphics with "SOVL", so indie devs make intentionally ugly games to explain that conception
>>153697559is that anon still drawing the big evil guy with a huge cock?
>>153700460So that was her role in her game world, right? To be the intrusive instruction giver in the middle of the action? Because her name is "Miss Information".
>>153700558Almost certainly. She also looks really similar to Nell from Advance Wars, another tutorial character.
>>153699594do you have the leaked sheets on hand or a link to them?
>>153697559Why the fuck didn't you look at the fucking Catalog and post in an already made thread on the subject?
>>153700558Consider what the Syntax faction has as their plan: to help heroes beat their villains. They do it for nefarious purposes, but their job is still to make heroes win the game. As a tutorial instructor, Miss Information might be working for the bad guys but she's still doing what her nature always was.Fold was likely also a helpful NPC in that same vein. Also: Fold helped Kit and Kaboodle beat their game. Thats why the camera keeps showing the paper that their plan to win was on during their fight, and why Fold recognizes Kit on sight: they've met before, Kit just doesn't know it.
>>153698779Is that anime worth a watch? I read what happens in the last episodes, and that end and villain looks looks rage inducing in a bad way.
>>153699557You bring up a good point, because there's definitely some games that don't end, like certain Roguelikes or arcade games. Given the age of the creators, I'd be surprised if they didn't have an episode in a score attack arcade game where the game ends because the programmers just put in a kill screen after a certain point.>>153699622I think it's fair to be nostalgic for both of those eras, since at least back then AAA games seemed to be improving. But they've been stagnant for about 10 years minimum. At least the indie scene is thriving and has the odd breakout hit.
>>153697559The company is named Glitch. There are required to make cartoons about video games, it is in the name!
Huehuehuehue
>>153697559>Wreck-it Ralph movies, Undertale, Deltarune, The Stanley ParableDidn't even name Reboot.(The first work of fiction to ever do that).

>>153699589>or, and they will never have the guts to do this one but edginess aside I do think could be intresting:>Wolfenstien.Arin would've totally done this if the show was made back in the 2000s. I could see them doing the same idea but for a Doom-like game. Instead of Nazis, you have demons, and when the game isn't being played they're polite and refined. Kinda like that scene in Conker's Bad Fur Day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoAwiyVQedE.
>>153698779>Instead you have Re:Creators.The overall lesson is about cyberbullying creators and the consequence from it. That's basically it; the Metanarrative is just window dressing.
in many ways wreck it ralph is better, it might be good enough but it doesn't have the edge to be spectacular.
>>153700852its fun but has a lot of annoying exposition girlevery time it does comedy bits or Magane is on the screen its great
>>153700896Technically that was Captain N
>>153697559>Yawn! Don't we have two Wreck-it Ralph movies, Undertale, Deltarune, The Stanley Parable, and several other metafictional indie games for that?Granted, the heroes aren't aware of the outside world, nor have a full grasp of the system as a whole; something that the villains have the leg up on. It's like with Viewtiful Joe, where the villains realized that their world is fictional, and were doomed to repeat itself should they remain in Movie land.
>>153700999the gay master
>>153699836Jesus fuck Kits bestie is so sexy
>>153700852Honest opinion? It full of really interesting ideas and characters, it looks great and the soundtrack is a bop. However, the second half is overly expository and the pacing suffers for it.Critically, its not a good show. Its got too many flaws for that. But its a show that I still think about quite often *years* later, because its something my mind kind of chews on and won't let go of.I even like the ending. The whole point of the final arc of the show is having to grapple with the puzzle that the villain has, in fact, become the protagonist of the story and thus cannot be beaten even when logically they should have been. Its rage inducing in the exact same way that Agent Smith is furious when Neo keeps getting back up, more bullshit powerful than before, we're just on the other side of it now. The ending then changes from "how do we kill the bad guy?" to "how can we let the villain 'win' in such a way that we still survive? What does that ending look like?" Its definitely not to everyone's tastes, but I think its worth giving a shot purely because there's really nothing else that does what it does. Its unique.

I never got the impression that the show expects you to think that Altair is actually the good guy here. Yes, she is motivated by her rage at the fact that the person who created her was cyberbullied into suicide. No, that doesn't justify all of the people she kills or the fact that she's willing to destroy the world over it. Her creator is a victim who you might pity, Altair herself very much is not. She is always clearly the bad guy, and the fact that the protagonists can't beat her no matter how hard they try is portrayed as horrifying and soulcrushing, not like some triumphant girlboss moment.

>>153700513Theory falls apart when you remember that 2000's shows had anime influences as well because the creators watched anime in the 90's
>>153701627it makes sense when you remember 99% of them are clout chasers and the other 1% are the corporate idols whose clout is being chased.you know things are fucked when the furries are looking dignified by comparison. mocapping as your fursona is a better use of the tech than fishing for attention from lonely men.

>>153701882Reboot, Kid Radd, and a bit of Viewtiful Joe.
>>153701820>Laimuwhat a stupid name. trying too hard to sound japanese. what was wrong with Limealicious/Limes?
>>153697559I thought it was okay. I might watch another episode, but if it's the same quality as the first, I don't think I'd watch a third. I guess I just wasn't a fan of the tone. They tried to lay the feels on a little too thick, and there was a real lack of subtlety on display. If you want emotional moments to land, you're almost always better off using restraint in the acting. You didn't need to show the flashback in the fish village, it was already extremely obvious it was a mirror of Kit's home. Just a subtle facial expression change or even a small musical cue would do the trick. I didn't resonate with any of the stakes they're trying to set up. It's both not grounded enough for me to care about these characters, nor funny enough for me to enjoy the moment to moment stuff. I don't think I can endure Arin doing his squeaky annoying voice for an entire show. It gets old real fast.I don't think it's a bad show at all, I just don't find it compelling, or fun.
>>153702100>trying too hard to sound japanese.That's the joke, you mong
I haven't thought about egoraptor in years but he really is the worst part of this. not that the pilot was great but his VA and the audio mix take it from a 6/10 to a 4/10

So, I don't get it... what does "success" even mean to Farcade/people like Kat?Sure, you can show up and make sure the hero loses TODAY, but the hero probably was already in a state of not being able to beat the same on their own. Otherwise they would have beaten the game before you even got there. But they seemingly get unlimited retries, like a video game, and they only need to win once. You can show up, sabotage the hero to make them lose, leave feeling good about yourself for "saving the world"... and they they beat the boss on their own 2 weeks later and the world ends anyway.Since you can't warn them, what other options are there? Induce absolute despair in the hero so they give up and stop fighting the villains at all? Freeze them into some sort of stasis/kidnap them so that they can't finish the game? What does a good outcome for them even look like?

>>153703544This is something that's never really explained. In Reboot, games were in danger only when a human player "appeared". But here, it just seems like the game goes on even if no human is playing them. So it really just seems like it's a matter of time before shit inevitably explodes. Maybe that's the point? Maybe the evil dude is sucking up Wakfu er-uh, "floats" so he can escape the GameOververse and exact revenge on his creators. Or at least stop the cycle from continuing.I doubt the show runners have thought that far ahead.
>>153701480She has a giant mouth for a stomach.
>>153697559Didn't their first series have this same premise as well?
>>>/trash/82860629People work fast>>153703576Dam how fast are people?Song?
>>153703608Yeah. It seems like they have engineered an unwinnable situation in their desire to force the premise. Its not even how video games work! I don't ask for much, but a show with a fantastical premise still needs to have some kind of internal logic to it or it just loses me. So much of this is just "because said so". Like, the game world actively monitors for and prevents outside interference? But ONLY when someone would be told their world is a game? Why don't Kit and the bad guys trigger the game world just by being there and fucking with the game in general? Whats running the game world to set up these rules in the first place? "The computer, probably" okay but WHY these specific rules that don't actually accomplish anything but to inconvenience the protagonists?
>>153703772Adding onto your points, there's also the glaring issue of multiple copies of the same game. Why would one copy of Super Metroid being beaten destroy all of the other ones? Does this happen to cartridge games, digital games, or both? How the fuck are they jumping from game to game? Wreck it Ralph had the cute premise that they shared the power bar surge protector thing. And yeah it's fantastical obviously, but your brain accepts it because there's a real physical connection there. I'm really trying to imagine where they're going with this. It feels like they liked the idea of game-hopping, but never thought about how that was achieved. I'm just gonna assume they're on some kind of server for now. I kind of wish the show was about going into old bust game cartridges, and saving who they could before a capacitor blows and ruins the board.
>>153703544It could be that those games have a self destruct mechanism as part of a "service" provided by the platform those are hosted on; meaning that it's a critique of games as a service than a product
I need a indie cartoon with actual ecchi scenes so Twitter collapses
>>153703772>Why don't Kit and the bad guys trigger the game world just by being there and fucking with the game in general?I assume it works similarly to the shared dreaming in Inception where the more you alter the world the quicker you get detected as a foreign entity.
>>153703899>Wreck it Ralph had the cute premise that they shared the power bar surge protector thing.it also took place in an arcade, and presumably all the characters we see walking around were from games in that specific arcade.
>>153703662fair enough. i will retract my snobbery.

>>153703899Once again, this is about the Games as Services as opposed to Products issue, when the game deletes itself when the consumer has completed it. This would prompt the player to repurchase the game so that they can play it again from the beginning. I bet that once they found that out at around episode 7, the following episode is about them making it like Kid Radd and escape the Gameoverse in its entirety, taking the remaining worlds with them. It will be less about the nature of the game than the critique on the Platforms that hosted them.
>>153703964But those games as a service type games virtually never have an ending. The whole point is they just go on forever to eat more of your money. If they wanted the concept to be "heroes save NPCs from dying games" they should've just had them hopping around to various games hosted on servers before they're taken down. Maybe the protagonist is even something of a supernatural entity, and can upload a copy of the game they saved to Archive.org so the NPCs can go on living. This idea that beating the game destroys its world feels extremely clunky and limiting to the stories they can tell.
It wasn't amazing, but a lot better than I was expecting. Enjoyed it far more than most of the recent TADC
>>153704249>when the game deletes itself when the consumer has completed it.What the fuck? Does any service actually do this? Services like gamepass just act as monthly rentals, where you get unlimited access to a game for that month. While I don't doubt the existence of games that delete themselves when completed, I've never heard of one, and that's definitely not the majority of games, mobile or otherwise.
>>153704252It could be that those games are on server that were programmed to delete them once the win condition is met; revealing that either that Gameoverse is Dying or that those games were old and primed to deletion to make room for new ones.
>>153704303>What the fuck? Does any service actually do this?So, funny story: a recurring feature of the Nier games is that the act of reaching the true ending of them involves your saves all getting wiped. When they did an online service Gachagame, and you reached the true ending in which you free all of the characters from the prison plane that they are trapped in between worlds (the very setting of the game itself) the game uninstalled itself from your phone and deleted your account. A couple weeks after the finale of the game was released, they took the servers offline so no one could re-install or play it. Yoko fucking Taro, man.
Etherway, it seems that the ultimate antagonist is the Gameoverse itself; and I could see them create a coalition to rescue sprites from dying games as opposed to either stoping the win condition form being fulfilled or siphoning their energy to break into the real world for revenge.
>>153704418Kino, to be honest
>>153704499Being killed by the sax is the least of your concerns when X parasites are lurking around, being a machine can't save you either.
>>153704423Hell, the second half of Kid Radd have our heroes being rescued from their game world by an organization that does exactly that.
>>153697559Gameoverse was drafted before Undertale, Deltarune, The Stanley Parable, the second Wreck-it Ralph movie, and many of those metafictional indie games. It's just late to the party because Ross didn't have a studio for the last 13 years.
>>153704608The reboot was a recent creation,You're taking about the original.Besides, Kid Radd predates even that.
>>153704608Well then, they should have updated the concept or scraped it in the meantime. You don't get points for claiming "if was original when I had the idea over a decade ago!" because audiences can't be expected to know or care who you are when sitting down to watch a thing.
>>153697559The show will be shit if he doesn't appear.>it already is shi-He can save it.
>>153704555There seemed to be some kind of barrier between characters of different universes, at the very least interlopers can't directly attack natives until the rules shatter. Otherwise Kit would just be an assassin killing heroes.It's very possible that natives can't attack interlopers either, though we didn't see it attempted.
