Why are there only like 2 stop motion video games?

And Skullmonkeys.

what happened to the claymation kickstarter? i think it was the same devs

There's the Clayfighters series.

Not following. What are you asking me?

My guess is because it's difficult as shit. Something like Hylics seemed like a huge undertaking, and each character only had a few sprites each. This wouldn't pass in a non-indie game. Hylics 2 is just 3D models with a clay shader, probably much simpler.

For sure, Clayfighter 2's graphics consisted of at least 90% pictures of clay models that were then digitized.

I assume you're referring to Armikrog. It just sorta came out back in 2015, and it was short, buggy and not very good. It felt like a pale imitation of The Neverhood instead of a spiritual successor, pretty much just like how Yooka-Laylee felt like a pale imitation of Banjo.

imagine making a game from hand drawn animation only it's like 10 times harder and gameplay is limited to only what you can make the clay puppets do

that's why

but clay look cool

What is it about this game that misses so hard?

cant you just make it LOOK like it was stop motion instead of making it actual stop motion?

Yes the idea of actually modeling each and every frame of animation is an insane waste of time when the effect could be faked instead

You don't model each frame, you model the first one and then reposition the model.

Do you really want more garbage floating around?

This sold a few hundred thousand copies didn't it?

What is it with clay games having dream in the title?

It really does sound like tomaties and potaties, doesn't it?

I have no idea, both are kino games.

Because 75% of the claymation games are made by Doug TenNapel.
Skull Monkeys, Neverhood, Armikorg, Boombots

Trailer for this was hilariously bad

Because it's fucking difficult to do.

The people of planet Ixen
Are surely going to die
Without the power of P-tonium
On planet Spiro-5.

Our hope's in brother astronauts
Vognaut, Numnaut and Tommynaut.
Two are dead, Tom's all we've got.
This kid is green, do we have a shot?

ARMIKROG!
ARMIKROG!

no (You)

It's a lot of work for little payoff, though I guess they could just emulate the look like how Kirby did

I thought this was just cg that looked like clay
