Why?

>>149329754 (OP)
2 more characters.

>>149330474
A genderbend of that Adventure Time girl.

They literally did this but unironically

>>149330496
Some guest from The Amazing Digital Circus.

>>149330522
An obese La Muerte from The Book of Life.

>>149330565
A character designed to get lewd fanart.

lmao. they did the meme.

>>149330593
The other one that will be shipped with the computer dude in that lewd fanart.

Why are they pretending this shit is for kids?
Why are they pretending like kids are an under servered niche audience when damn near everything animated greenlit in the west is children's content in some form?
Why are they pretending like most indie project don't end up attracting kids anyway?

I'd be less cynical about this project if they were at least honest about it.

No, because this is the exact same as every other quirky faggot cartoon pitch that I see spammed here.

I Even pulled up the kick-starter and saw this gem
>Cartoons like Steven Universe, Wander Over Yonder, and Adventure Time, to name a few, are unique in the way that they immerse and interest their audience from adolescent to preteen to teenager.
Like literally there is nothing actually unique or impressive about any of this whatsoever because it's so blatantly derivative.

>>149330522
>Literally just a Helluva OC
The absolute STATE of animation

Kids aren't going to watch this, but plenty of teenagers and adults will.

Like I found this pitch off of this board a week or two ago and this already looks miles ahead of what OP is shilling but it's probably never going to make it's goal. Maybe it didn't get advertised enough or doesn't have enough quirky faggot LGBTQ characters but it still gets me pissed off that the people that shill "save animation" never actually make a product decent enough to warrant saving animation.

Wow, they literally took all the worst aspects of modern industry/indie cartoons and blended it all together into a boring pot of ugly shit.

The main girl.

>>149330849
>>149330512
Fuck me sideways, they really did do the meme

>>149330849
The porn probably won't even be good

>>149330759
Damn shame. It's kind of crazy the Kickstarter thread for adulting lasted longer than this one's thread. /co/ never acts towards what it says it wants

>>149331018
Even training an AI model of her for porn isn't worth it either.

>>149330849
Luz back at it again? Is that lip just going to denote Spanish ancestry now?

>>149329754 (OP)
>WHERE ARE ALL THE INDIE SHOWS FOR KIDS?!

Half the independent projects out right now are just blatant pilot pitches for mainstream kid studios. Nobody is out here making fucking Plymptoons or Joanna Quinn shorts just for the love of the art. Everything is just, "HEY AMAZON, PICK MY STUFF UP! LOOK HOW MUCH AUDIENCE APPEAL THERE IS!".

https://youtu.be/fYdaHaNRMKg?si=jwB1FtJFUQdzVfRK

Wake me up when shit like this is catching on. Because as of right now, I can STILL only find abstract independent cartoons in film festivals.

>>149331057
/co/ sometimes gives attention to projects that barely deserve it, mediocre shit like that youtuber's cat and mouse cartoon not so long ago, giving it more supporters and general attention which means more possible backing.
More deserving projects do not get that level of attention.

You faggots will shame this into validity just like wit bee & puppycat and boxtown then complain about the state of modern animation.

Everything about this feels very disingenuous to me.
What do you mean "where are all the kids/family shows"? That's literally the only kind of western animated show that major distributors pick up, WHY THE FUCK DO YOU THINK INDIE ANIMATION TOOK OFF IN THE FIRST PLACE!?

Just own it that this was made for you, instead of hiding behind a smokescreen of pretending to care about what children watch these days.

There IS a drought of indie kids cartoons, but we're talking about LITTLE kids, as in pre-school. But, I suppose it would make your self pandering harder wouldn't it?

>>149329754 (OP)
Voice in the trailer made me want to kill everyone involved, so no.

>>149330522
This is a really really really blatant Hazbin Hotel knockoff, not Digital Circus

>pronouns in characters bios
DOA

>>149329754 (OP)
What is it about?

>>149333918
Good question
That trailer didn't actually say anything about that.

>>149330474
Seven looks like Tsubasa from Kare Kano.
>Pronouns.
Avoiding it.

>>149330522
>>149330565
>>149330593
They really just wanted to make a show for their Hazbin Hotel ocs didn't they?

>>149329754 (OP)
their first kickstarter failed and they're already doubling down on making a new one

>>149330672
It's a servicable pun.

>>149330759
>only lolis and shotas can defeat the monsters

>>149329754 (OP)
looks cute, mostly because of the Jock guy that is my type.

>>149329754 (OP)
I was really into it but this can't be for real. this is fucking Fizzarolli from hazbin hotel but as a furry lmaaaaao. please just change or tweak the designs, Give a diverse, more authentic and polished designs of the minor characters and then we can talk about it more.

>>149329754 (OP)
I like the guy on the right's design, but the animation in the actual campaign vid looks like said design will be wasted

>>149330604
Wait, are your brains seriously so meme-poisoned that you think that drawing invented the concept of "main characters standing in a group shot?"

Jesus, spend some time offline.

>>149330759
>ugly designs that wouldn't animate well
>title somehow manages to be TWO stale references
>all the kids have sameface
>so do all the adults

But there's no obviously gay character so let's pretend this looks good.

>>149334109
The first one failed because someone canceled their large donation at the last minute.
I hope someone does that again for this one

>>149329754 (OP)
Incredibly generic poster layout, they got the villain with his back turned and everything

>>149331424
I swear I've seen another failed kickstarter similar to this. Set in space, obviously inspired by Steven Universe, and the main character was some purple lizard.

>>149336492
It's not exactly just the visual layout they have in common
>awkward genius MC girl
>useless male sidekick
>nonhuman sidekick
>generic villain with their back turned

>>149330688
I feel like the problem with indie kickstarter space shows inspired by SU is that they want to capitalize on how Steven Universe never really delivered in the space adventure side of things but newsflash, sci-fi adventure shows don't really do all that well anymore. They struggle to maintain a popular following, and the ones that do become successful are really more grounded than anything else: think about how often Rick and Morty or Futurama have plots that either taken place on Earth or involve settings in space that heavily resemble Earth. Sci-fantasy pretty much dominates the space adventure scene, which is why it's the only genre that does big numbers (40k, Star Wars, etc).

Actual sci-fi space adventure is only something Japan really bothers to care about, but it also still is rarer than sci-fantasy or fantasy.

>>149330759
To be fair, the creator is kinda stupid and doesn't know how to advertise it, the only place where it has been posted outside of YouTube is a literally who subreddit with like 4000 members

>>149338062
He really needs to ask some guy with a bigger audience to shill it or just post it in a larger community where more people can see it

>>149336524
I think what really sells it is how it stands out from most other stuff being pitched right now. Yeah, it looks janky, but it doesn't seem to be like every other pitch where it's "quirky self-insert rainbow uwu goes on magical adventure." Substance and subtlety feels like a lost art in media nowadays, especially animation.
>>149338062
That genuinely sucks. You'd think that people in this industry would know by now that advertising your work is just as important as the work itself.

>>149330474
>46 and 7
Ugly bastard bros…

>>149338178
The problem with advertising for creatives is that they have an attitude of 'If you build it then they will come' but the problem is that is relying too much on luck. You do need to think about what audience will enjoy it, where do they frequent and you gotta spend some money on ads. Alot of people don't realize that some huge channels on YouTube or most social media isn't always advertising work out the goodness of their hearts, you gotta grease a few palms.

You got a be persistent, annoying and post EVERYWHERE but alot of them don't have the insight of that thinking if they just keep posting on Youtube it'll work when the algorithm is shit there.

>>149337831
I think I know the one you're thinking of. The full [animatic] pilot actually dropped a while back to little fanfare, but it looks like whoever's making this Zipped Up pilot missed the memo that indie cartoons don't need to have super-polished animation and color to go viral.

>>149330522
Well this better STAY indie now or else Vivzie's lawyers will get on their ass

>>149338337
I feel like all artists should be legally obligated to be partnered up with either a well-read person, or a person who has common sense when it comes to business/marketing/PR. It is disturbing how too many people with pencils are out of touch with reality

>>149329754 (OP)
I'll pass

>>149338374
Why is every indie cartoon Y2K-inspired now?

>>149330759
Did this ever get any threads? Don't think I saw it talked about before.
