[kumori212]

[Ironscimitar]

I hope the music remains, its amazing!

[7TheNothing7]

Epically Beautiful

Congratz on ur he'ART 7 game

2D in 3D Odins Sphere

[manuelito1233]

I wanted to make a side scrolling DMC/Ninja Gaiden game :( i couldn't find any game like this, so congratulations on being first :D

[TraneXIV]

@manuelito1233 Another game like this if you want it darker is The Dishwasher Dead Samurai.

[corphish129]

Is this only coming out on XBLA?

[venuse898]

any chance this is going to be released for pc like on steam or something?

[TheNobleGoon]

1:28. LOL Ginger....cause she has red hair... Ba dum tish! Anyway sorry I couldn't resist that joke. ANYWAY this is deffinately one of the games I'm waiting to come out! Can't wait to see it when it's done. If this is how good it looks in development then it's going to look amazing when it's done.

[ragnaroktomorro]

my god...

[Mephaistus]

Dat Animation

[zenjiros]

Awesome music!

[Jeran7758]

kinda remind me of the hercules game in ps

[java2000]

Is Microsoft still giving this an xbla release? I hope they didn't have second thought's, as they would be snubbing what looks like a great game.

[MrSonicTHedgehog]

@java2000 Yeah, they said it's supposed to be coming out this year.

[Miensoludziec]

Comboses reminds me Rebelion Comboses from Devil May Cry 3!

[Kelohmello]

Looks amazing. Reminds me of Odin Sphere except furrier. Can't wait for this to come out.

[RedMage86]

WHEN DOES THIS COME OUT !!?

[MrSonicTHedgehog]

@RedMage86 This year. No specific date yet.

[leseanpayne]

So incredible. Your stealing a dream of mine! You know? To animate a beautiful game set in a beautiful world with beautiful music... And also good gameplay.

Aaaah, so cool, I can't stop re watching it!

[sonicdark189]

those graphics are awsome

[xXxCaterynaxXx]

This game looks awesome~ and on the site it said something about a movie, but it seems like the game is where most of your focus is right now~ Whenever this comes out, I will buy an Xbox 360 to play it, because it looks amazing! I like the character designs, too! Can't wait for this game to come out. 83

[SpiritMolecule1]

what console is this on?

[mouravision]

@NoogyToad From a programmer to a programer, is that skeletal Animation you are using? and the maps are they Draw or Transformed object placement? Like diferent Parts?

Really really great animation you have there, so smooth =)

[NoogyToad]

@mouravision Thanks :) I'm actually using a combination of fully animated frames and segmented body parts for various characters. I don't have a true skeletal system in place since I prefer the more organic approach to moving parts. This means more work in the end, but it lets me apply more traditional animation 'cheats' to create livelier animation.

As for maps, they are a series of segments, manually placed together. A bit of ground, a bush, a tree trunk... A palette of pieces.

[mouravision]

@NoogyToad I see, I must say you have one of the best artworks I have ever seen =), your animation is fluid, your effects top notch, I wish I could have such artistist skill on my team too ahah.

Yeah, about the animation, I was talking because it looked sometimes skeletal animation and some other times frame animation, so I was like (wth?) I just wanted to be sure. =)

About the map, It seems flawless, great job on it, I will be waiting for your game :D. Good luck on your project =)

[qaleta]

What console will this be on? When is it released? looks awsome

[Jeff1N]

my god, in the beggining of the trailer i thought "its looks as pretty as muramasa", but its actually way pretier, and looks more fun, congratulations

[pvjneji]

Looks really good, great textures and music that reminds me of Kingdom Hearts, gameplay from Devil May Cry also attacks from Castlevania (2:30) and as said below a bit Disney over it. But in short: Nice game.

[israfel33]

lastest video is AMAZING

[bleakAntiquity]

I will easily buy this game! There needs to be a good developer for the nostalgic market!!!

[Molagbal38]

Pardon my bluntness, but... This game looks so fucking cool. Why is it that anthropomorphic foxes (furries) are so much more awesome in games than real life and movies? I dunno, but they just are. This game has beautiful graphics, great character design, and fast paced action with amazingly and flowingly animated fighting.

[xRedStingx]

Dude, did you win??

[XoloFI]

Wow this is amazing

[foxtrotmp5]

It's been so long since there's been any new news about this game. I worry it will never see a public release. :(

[Falcovsleon21]

This reminds me of Muramasa actually. Not that that's a bad thing.

[AlllexL]

lol furfags. Will there be some yiff? Just joking. The game looks really good.

[maitlan]

Looks really cheesy. But there's also some really good idea's. The art is almost on par with Muramasa "the demon blade".

[sentient001]

looks nice good job.

[orkamera83]

Wow i am impressed! This looked really amazing =) I wanna play!

[Konstantinji]

Is it making it's way to PC somehow? Steam, maybe?

The artwork is great, haven't seen anything like that in years!

[0194D]

@dkc4475

Yeah its supposed to be an exclusive

[cerzzz]

I'm not gonna lie here, the only thing I don't like it's the game UI.

Other than that, it's a very powerful title, better than a lot of crappy stuff coming up.

Keep up the good work :D

[Lyrikalstylez]

looks great, too bad the music in the trailer seems rather dull

and the furries make it seem silly

[FishThePirate]

It's too bad it's full of furries. Looks like it could've been a decent game.

[Uhcip]

@FishThePirate Conkers bad fur day is one of the best games of all time though

[popotanlover3]

looks like blade kitten except ten times more kickass

[HecksVells]

are the chars sprites or models with crazy shaders etc? :)

[numb19029]

damn,when will it be out/if it will?

[SirusDiarota]

@numb19029 2011. Check the website and the rest of the videos in the channel.

And I cannot wait.

[runscapefreak123]

awesome dude is online? cd?

[fatacus501]

hope it comes out for PC id download it

[Charsept]

looks amazing :O

[ra5kit]

not fair, programmers aren't allowed to be able to code AND draw :P. Beautiful game.

[codeinjection]

you haven't by any chance watched "Rurouni Kenshin" have you? :P

[sidmax22]

Nice Work U beat it :)

[15551cue]

I must have this game NOW!!!

[Krondelo]

Chains are always good.

[Janosevic80]

When will this game be ready to play...many years have past..

[MattTheSpratt]

gee it sure is muramasa in here

[RaccoonSam]

dat runnan cycle

[sublemon25]

Why not make this availible on ps3? Damn Microsoft..........

[StclairZak]

LOL FURRIES

[luckytrifle]

@StclairZak LOL ASSHOLES

[tropelow]

That is one horrible running animation. What is he, sprinting, limping or flying?

[MidnightZeto]

@tropelow He's already redone the running animation. I'm not sure but the new one might show up on newer teaser's. This is the oldest one.

[Smoogle]

I wonder if you can find weapons and the actual weapon changes from his/her hand that would be a pretty neat feature and probably give the game tons of reply value if there was hidden weapons through the stage..but probably lots of work to design each weapons animation - maybe for part 2 cause we all know this game is going to sell more then a few thousand

[outubedimerda]

nice...but what is yuor character...a cat?

[NoName7467]

Is this like that fox character? Sly fox or something?

[Deoxysdog]

Side scrolling hack 'n slash

No thanks

[mitchelld8vies]

Did you use a tile engine to make the levels? If so what is it? I'm planning to make a 2D RPG as well but just can't seem to find a good tile engine.

[TwinComplex]

Awesome game ! It's pure pleasure to see an indie game like this.

Is it 2D or 3D? How did u make shadow like this? :o

[Lionalliance]

aww, I need this on the PSN for ps3 ; 3 ;

[evilvegagames]

Really Amazing Work, Really Beautiful Animations, characters, Music, all it's really Great, Day one buy/download on Xbla! :D

[GAMEMETAL666]

xbox live ?????????????

[KimahriRonsoBraska]

@GAMEMETAL666 yup exclusive :3

[raelferreira]

wonderful... i really amazed about this game... i want to play really soon

[WaffleAfterHours]

Wow, this looks better than a Vanillaware game

[antokosic]

Reminds me of Dragonica O.o

[Ahmed2006]

I heard this game is gonna be at E3. Is it true?

[NarutoKirby165]

Looks like Ubisoft and VanillaWare had a baby. :')

[LeonJudas]

This is simply beautiful. D:

[mixmasterxp]

What game engine did you use?

[Swordmaster200]

Looks a lot like Odin Sphere and Muramasa

[shad0wx24]

@NoogyToad when we can buy this game on xbox live ? i hope for the finish of this year...

[omnimon64]

@NoogyToad Thats cool. Is this game a xbox exclusive? i mean i have an xbox but any chance we might see a PC version or PSN or wiiware?

[omnimon64]

When can we see a Teaser 2? Because its been quite a while since August 4th, 2009.

[DeathsChildX]

Damn, this game is epic! No wonder it won: I swear that if I showed this to my friends, they'd think a professional made this

[DMitsukirules]

Did you guys make the engine?

[breerex123]

muramasa ?

[essko]

@breerex123 A side scrolling wii game in the same style as Odin Sphere.

[rappytaffy1]

amazing work. When is it coming to live

[Kapryagos]

Thought "that music sounds so much like UNREAL"... and indeed! :D

[Kapryagos]

Well, rather meant Jazz Jackrabbit, I guess... ^^

... wait, it's the same guy who made the art of JJR, isn't he? o_o

This IS the JJR-Style! o_o w00t!!

[butterskutz]

holy sh!t!!! i want this game so badly!!! its got amazing graphics, great gameplay

and it has FURRIES!!!! LONG LIVE FRRIES!!! X3

[Thonydef]

this game is amazing my friend and I are currently working with xna to make a game but we needed a tile engine which we purchased torque to use with xna brings a bti more difficulty but the fact that we can see were we placed the tiles and make quick changes to the platforms helps out alot.

question did it take u long to make the collision boxes for an attack frame?

[NoogyToad]

@Thonydef Hi. Each frame actually spawns a series of points, placed in a character editor. Each point exists for only a frame, and during its life checks to see if it's within bounds of a target. Technically it's a particle.

[Thonydef]

@NoogyToad OH wow its soo simple its genius! thanks sorry for the late

reply this helps out alot. when is your game gonna appear on xbox?

[15551cue]

@NoogyToad when this game coming out pls reply thanx

[Rezorok7]

@NoogyToad

Did you make this?

I'm impressed. :J

Not many developers have imaginations anymore.

[AdmiralPotato]

@NoogyToad Wow, that's an approach I had not thought of before. From the perspective of an outsider of the games development community trying to become and insider, that's a really cool concept to think of.

One could extend that functionality so that each of the points could have an assignable 'damage' value, and even add up all of the points that land inside a target's bounds each frame to determine just how hard a foe was hit, each attack having different areas of intensity. Inspiring!

[drakonis8]

that looks so intense and fun to play

[Tinopa2]

will this game also allow you to use certain special like attacks after reaching a certain comb. number?

either way it looks awesome!

[shad0wx24]

noogy pleaseee release this game is wonderful !!!! i'am waiting this game from last year ! relase it for this summer :D

[XnaTutorial]

woow shit... you gotta be very good in C# XNA welldone :D

[magnaram]

The guy walking animation is exactly the same as i could see in Muramasa: Demon Blade for Wii.

LOL!!!

Could you explain us why??

[Linkishback2]

I think this is the best game project that I've seen done in XNA so far! Everything just works so smooth. This is something I would buy to play. Good job and keep it up!

[Cleth]

That spinning shit is the gayest move I've ever seen.

[hcig]

fucking sage for trace

[epicmudkipz]

Now even furries can play Muramasa!

[ThundahMunkee]

Yeah looks cool, loving the fluid animations and shit, but like someone's said before I'm sure, dem fuckin' portraits...

[IshidaTheQuincy]

I liked the music and most of the animations, but it looks way too much like Muramasa for my taste.

[Mudacham]

Muramasa with furries.

[Cathalon]

How can the models look that good and the actual character portraits look like absolute shit? Those faces look like a highschooler furry drew them.

[shad0wx24]

when we can bought this game on XBL Arcade ?

[JessicaIngmann]

Jesus criminy! Looket this awesomness!! Wow! This is kind of a big step up from some'a the guys who brought us Jazz Jackrabbit 2 and the ill-fated Jazz 3D... Lookin' forward ta it!

[EwwWTFLOL]

Fucking genius

[Fabio254]

The character designs suck, they look like a really bad attempt at anime on the level of Totally Spies, and the furryness just adds to the awkwardness. Otherwise the game is great looking.

[TMP3z]

@Fabio254 Agreed 100%

[StriCNYN3]

Wow this is looking really amazing. I would definitely buy this game first day. ( I heard from a friend that this is coming to XBL?)

I'm really getting sick of the generic "Modern Gears of Halo 4000" type games on my 360 as they are really getting old and played out. This game reminds me of the simpler times of gaming, with really artistic and creative value, and game-play that just pulls you right in.

Hope for the best man =D

[dragonwhelper8]

@StriCNYN3 you should start playing some half life 2 it never gets old. swear.

[ff8isfunlovedomo]

yes it des half life is reall dumb its like dumb i mena no point

[ff8isfunlovedomo]

its coming in then xbox arcade

[spideymayne]

This reminds me a lot of Muramasa and Odinsphere. Looks dope, tho.

[lorden95]

sheeeeeet when will this come and how many ms points will it cost??

[redoubt9000]

oo is this gonna be a pc version? If so you've got a prospecting customer along with 100,000 others I'd assume given the video count XD

[DavidXNewton]

This is looking amazing! And Alexander Brandon's music really completes it. It puts me in mind of a faster-paced version of the Windows 95 platformer "Claw".

[MrMelonBread]

So this was a 100% done in XNA?

[NoogyToad]

Correct. You can make any type of game in XNA.

[RoxasHikarino]

Awesome work, so beautiful!

[GOOB3000]

Wow that is bloody impressive! Artwork etc is fantastic. Programmed and Art all by you?

[slop101]

Looks fantastic - give us an ETA when you can!

[NoogyToad]

Thank you :) It might be a while before I can give an ETA, but I'll have some big news to share soon.

[slop101]

Hopefully when you CAN give an ETA it'll be along the lines of "it'll be available in just a week!". Now that I know of this game, I can't wait to play it! Just a note from a fellow artist (I'm a musician), your work will never be "done", it can only be "ready". Good luck!

[IKKIsama14]

@slop101

I read "sometime in 2011".

[Truechuser]

Looking good, reminds me of muramasa

I feel the lack of old style plataformers with well drawn sprites

[thetwentyfourth]

All the animations look great except the floaty walk\run cycle in which seems to defy gravity a little, though maybe that's the point.

[WhoWatchesVideos]

The game looks excellent. Looks like something that would be released to buy. I'm glad this game won the DreamBuildPlay contest. the $40000 prize would surely be used for furthering the progress of your game making and programming, right?

[mystrdat]

Why not female slaves and rubies instead?

[nylar4000]

looks like a great game, any possibility this might get ported to wii? I bet it would be a lot of fun if the attack control was mapped to the tilt/motion sensors and made use of the nunchuck for left right movement.

[Raveheart90]

Looks beautiful and solid. Simply excellent.

[OmegaGDS]

Nice graphics! Background kind of reminds me of Maple Story :), looks awesome

[CyrilCyberpunk]

Dean Dodrill, absolute master of all 2D animation.

[NoogyToad]

@CyrilCyberpunk More of a student than master, but I appreciate the comment ;)

[mystrdat]

It certainly looks that way. :)

[CyrilCyberpunk]

1:38

If you pay close attention to the crates here, you will see that their texture is very much the same as (or similar to) the crates from Jazz3D! Hah! Can't believe he still uses the old Jazz stuff, that's so awesome! The texture on the wooden platform seems to be from Jazz3D too.

[Guernicaman]

Any word on a release date yet?

[NoogyToad]

@Guernicaman No release date as of yet.

[TheAloneWay]

Шикарно... =)

[freiteez]

looks awesome! want it on my 360 or iphone now :)

[IrbisPL]

i am dying for PC version ;__;

[mayhemtv]

Yea a PC Version would be sooo awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[WhiteGravey]

@IrbisPL all the other pirates are too thats why pc gaming is dead

[Arukado93]

@IrbisPL Hell yeah!, me toh >w>

[YukiTheLaughingMan]

I'm quite impressed.

[Shodan117]

Did they use 3d models or sprites?

and why is there a korean title on it too?

[djsotos]

@Shodan117

I believe they used sprites and made the movement really smooth as to give the illusion of 3D animation.

[darkkenny71]

the creator is half Korean. although he was born and raised in America....for what i read

[RhysWood]

Kinda reminds me of Odin Sphere on the PS2, and that's a very good thing.

[davidoblue1]

games like these used to be the first to come out on platform. now its just gay shooting games. gotta give the people what they want right... atleast the majority.

[1serbus1]

Impressive

[Farthingale]

One man. One awesome platformer.

I reaaaaally hope this is released on a platform I play soon.

[zerorush]

@Farthingale Its being developed as an Xbox indie title using the tools that Microsoft provides. So 360 will be your only way to go.

[Pyritie]

...holy shit o__o

[RocMegamanX]

Does anyone know how long it took for him to create this game?

[hcig]

well, painting does take forever, and in that amount, it must have been amazingly long process, but the rest is pretty damn simple to do

i do wonder though, some of those animations look the exact same as muramasa's

[vulkein]

is that guy 3D or just high quality frame by frame 2D.

[rockeranimefreak]

Hi NoogyToad, I was wondering when this game is going to be released on the xbox marketplace? It looks wonderful and I would love to play it as soon as possible! =)

[randomuseronhere]

DUDE! You won the dream build play thing!

I'm sooo buying this game when it comes out!

[crissking2231]

looks like a bad ass furry verson of dante from devil may cry so...like lucario X dante = dust?

[heavymetalgandalf]

Anybody know the names of the songs in this video or if i can get the soundtrack anywhere?

[DrDrystal]

i dont know them, but i would like to know them too.

Maybe once the game is finished we will know :)

[HyperDuckMusic]

The first song (beautiful piano melody) is by Alex Brandon. The rest of the music is by Dan & I. As for song names, I don't know if they are titled in a creative manner :) More like, Level 1 & Boss Fight 1.

There's no information available on a soundtrack release at the moment.

[DrDrystal]

Its wonderfull..just like all of his current and previous works.

He is a great artist.

And i salute him for making it all by himself!

Some big game companies cannot come up with something similar like this, they lack the heart.

This game, seams to be full of heart. Made by someone who loves drawing and telling stories.

I would like to know what the music is called that plays in the trailer..its beautifull..

-Dr Drystal

Longtime JazzJackrabbit Fan

[odair96]

somehow the fighting remembers me of Guilty gear =P

[LingeringProfanity]

Looks pretty tight...

[TanJianWei92]

omg , is this an online game or offline game? it's look interesting !

[FireDragonDoL]

When this game will come out?

I'll buy it, for sure... beautiful gameplay, GREAT GRAPHIC

[Sylacs]

Congrats on winning, great looking game!

[Redonx]

Anyway, it's the only problem I have with this game. The rest of it is pretty much fantastic.
