I was just absolutely stunned watching the trailer. Genuinely, one of my biggest moments of shock from 2018’s E3 (besides that Elder Scrolls VI trailer, which I wrote about here) was the announcement of The Delicious Last Course. And as someone who has gotten all the achievements for Cuphead and S-ranked all the bosses, I am absolutely head-over-heels excited for more of this game to play! But beyond the gameplay, I might be even more excited to see more of that amazing artwork and animation.Ĭan we all just take a moment to say bless the Moldenhauer brothers and their whole crew for getting back to the sometimes agonizing grind that is hand-drawn, hand-inked animation? From what I know about the difficulty of animation, the light sense of finality in the DLC’s title doesn’t come as much of a surprise. Then there’s The Delicious Last Course, the upcoming DLC announced at Microsoft’s 2018 E3 conference (more about it at the end of this article). The music in this game has so much attention to detail, there’s even a freaking tap dancer in some of the tracks to add to the authenticity of the 1930s’ jazz-inspired score. This game has over two and a half hours of awesome, period-accurate music - all recorded live in studio. In doing so, I will knowingly give its music (and its gameplay, to an extent) the short end of the stick in terms of the praise it really, truly deserves. I mention this event because I am about to gush about this game - its animation in particular. According to a tweet from the game’s composer, Kristofer Maddigan, the concert will feature the original band along with “a few surprises!” You can only get tickets with cash at the door, and regrettably, I’ll be in the wrong part of Canada to be able to attend. Those Sweet, Sweet JamsĢ018’s Kensington Market Jazz Festival in Toronto will be the first live-concert performance of Cuphead music. Next up from the makers of Cuphead - a couple really cool things. Released just under a year ago, it’s almost needless to say that going triple platinum is a huge triumph for this beautifully animated boss-rush bash. Studio MDHR’s hit, hand-hewn, hellishly hard indie title Cuphead recently surpassed 3 million copies sold across Xbox One and PC.

(Editor’s note: A pencil test in animation usually means compiling animation frames into a gif or similar format to test if they create the right motion before inking/clean-up and coloring.) A Great Slam and Then Some! Cuphead Animation-the Good, the Great, and the Amazingīefore we begin, I need to give a huge thank you to Cuphead animator Jake Clark for posting some of his wonderful pencil tests of the game’s animation found throughout this article! Here’s his Tumblr, and he’s on Twitter.
