I was left speechless, I remembered the game looking like an actually quality product in the old trailers so I went to check them out. And mind you this was me just watching someone play it, I couldn’t begin to imagine my thoughts if I actually played it. I thought it just needed time and that it would pick up from there but NOPE! I had to close the video 25 minutes in cause I physically couldn’t bare to watch any longer. The first 10 minutes were INCREDIBLY boring and clunky. The animation in the trailer seemed quite a bit worse than the animation from the kickstarter trailer, but I chalked that up to my foggy memory and gave it benefit of the doubt. And I am rather disappointed, but not surprised, that nobody seems to care about his opinion about this and basically speak on his behalf instead.Today, after hearing the news about the game’s release, I immediately looked up the official release trailer. Literally and legally speaking, mind you. So yes, as for me, I admit that the game looks too similar to Cuphead, perhaps more than needed, but ultimately, it is up to Cuphead's creator to decide whether or not to make a move about this being plagiarism or a faithful fan-inspired work. Long story short: a game inspired by Undertale, but it wanted to be its own thing and, as it turns out, Tobyfox himself came up to the public defense of the game on his Twitter account when people started treating it as either an Undertale clone or drawing too many comparisons with Undertale, even if well-intentioned, since it made it sound like the game existed on Undertale's shadow despite being its own, ambitious project. Not convinced.? Then look up "Heartbound" and the story behind it. In fact, has anyone even tried to ask him for his opinion about this, or did we just jump directly to the crucifixion part.? More importantly, what is the opinion of Cuphead's creator about this.? Because what we all bunch of randoms with pitchforks say is completely pointless compared to his opinion on this matter. So we’re trying to turn our attention more towards all those who are supporting us and sending their love for the game. That being said, along with all those negative responses, a lot of people have also reached out to us to say they adore the game and they would love to see it succeed. We were prepared for some backlash, but the trailer definitely reached way more people than we could ever anticipate, and all the hate and negativity coming our way has definitely had a huge impact on us. We’re both avid fans and we wanted to make something similar, but always from a place of respect and admiration for the original.
