sorry about the discussion that followed the first comment I made on this thread, I just didn't understand very well. But then again, I never really dojjrocks wrote:

the jp dub is pumping up quite a bit of hype there is even talk of reworking the songs only time will tell~
They're supposedly announcing the last two seiyuus this month, too. Wonder who they're gonna be~ (Rather, who's gonna be voicing Celestia, Luna, etc.?)
Also, if they do rework the songs, I hope they're still as catchy as the originals or better.

There's enough hype that a group's gonna sub it, right?ztrot wrote:

Screw subs, this'll be a legit reason to start watching something RAW
...In all seriousness though, I just hope the script for the dub isn't completely different.

i haven't into ponies as much recently just because this is a season transition, but THERE'S A MOVIE? EH?Blazevoir wrote:

Miracle Lotus
Well... considering Season 3 ended sooner compared to the past two AND Season 4 will have a full 26 epis...Starzd wrote:

Actually, the above probably doesn't have any relevance as to why there's gonna be a movie, but it was mentioned on EqD.
The spinoff is creepy. At first I was a bit jostled to see they're keeping their colours, so now you have blue and orange and pink humans, but they kept their horns/wings too. That's always struck me as odd. I'm not sure if the spinoff will have as much imagination or charm as FiM though
Just as long as it doesn't turn into "another teen show", I don't really care much about the spin-off; I'll just pass it off if it turns out bad. If it somehow ends up being just as good as the main series, Hasbro can have ALL myawp wrote:

Anyway... ANOTHER ANTHOLOGY IS COMING, WHOO!
Came across one of Ztrots maps. Saw ponies on it, wondered what the fuck was going on. Played map.
Fell in love <3

Super Metroid was the best Ponies anthology

They shouldn't have used the fandub, but other than that I really enjoyed that video
Anyway, I dunno if anyone's interested in this, but I'll just leave this here: http://www.equestriadaily.com/2013/03/h ... eport.html

are they going to nerf the framerate for the Japanese version?
If they're trying to lipsync, maybe. At any rate, I'm extremely excited for their version of the opening.
I already loved the Italian one
Turn on Captions (CC) for subs!
Well... so much for S4 being during Fall, but anyway....

Mane6 has revealed silhouettes of their new characters for the game that Lauren has designed.
They also released new information regarding the Skullgirls Engine and it's pretty fucking rad.

Although the indiegogo is still about 200k short and there's just a week left.

Emphasis on "finally"
it came...... with time
Congrats on getting that out
I was looking at the skullgirls kickstarter stuff and
It should not cost that much to develop a character for a game. It should cost that much to make a game.
$10,000 certification fee is fucking retarded and a clear indication you should take your business to a platform with less arcane distribution methods
and how does it cost 2 grand to develop a (presumably dynamic) hitbox I could do that in an afternoon

Considering Skullgirls' complex engine, I guess it'll involve a lot of testing and shiot to make sure that everything's balanced out and perfect.

Dear awp,

Sincerely,
WHEEEEEEEEE
That puts the cost of just getting the sprites done anywhere from 40k-60k USD. Keep in mind this will take time, and while you’re waiting for the art to get back from the outsourcer you’re still paying salaries, rent, internet, insurance, etc., so sunk cost for just the art itself is probably gonna net out to 90k USD.this "sunk cost" is "idle time we don't know how to budget activity for"
it's poor management is what it is
Fighting games are unique in that they require a fuckload of balance precision (this is where QA comes in). The rest of it is bloated.
Every studio has their own cost structure but you can safely assume each individual game developer costs their studio around 10k per month (including rent, insurance, etc.).Where the fuck are they getting these numbers? Developers do not get paid 120k a year unless they're seniors/managers (even that seems like a stretch to me) and video game developers get paid less than developers of high-risk high-skill things like the finance sector, where a "whoopsie" can cost millions of dollars.
And "including rent" - what kind of company pays its employees rent? I've never heard of a software development company doing that. I don't think Google even does that.
Are they talking about office rent? Because that has nothing to do with "each individual game developer"
that article reeks of bullshit
lol I'm still gasming over my TS skin still
Oh, the article doesn't explain it very well. Both of those people are related to Capcom, and Capcom is... yeaaaah. Let me try since they've elaborated on this quite a bit on another forum, since a lot of people had the same response as you.
First of all they are basically paying 8 staff members just above minimum wage for over 2 months. That's the first $48K. There's a list of their staff somewhere out there but IIRC it'd be really hard to call it bloated once you saw it.
The Animation Contracting is because due to the game's art style they need 1500+ separate, high quality drawings done in a timely fashion. Lab Zero's art people are either working with the contractors or contributing to the cause themselves. Or doing clean-up or whatever it is artists do.
For the hitboxes they're contracting the dude who did them for the past 8 characters. You have to do them by hand if you want them done right, and each frame in Skullgirls has quite a few hitboxes for accuracy. So that's 1500 frames where the dude has to go through and carefully add in all the hitboxes. Say it takes him two weeks to do a perfect job. That's $2k of wages right there.
'Course, then you have $7K eaten up for the voices - I have no explanation for that one - and another what, $60+K for QA, fees, and rewards?
So yeah, most of it is either miscellaneous stuff or art. Apparently they have more stuff to do than the DLC, too, like the PC version and other stuff. Thankfully they aren't charging for the DLC, which is good since we're more or less paying for their existence.

well as neat as that is skullgirls isn't really related to pony in anyway more than just a possible what if and connection from miss faust I.E Fighting is Magic atm still, interesting to hear about tho
