Their animation looks like it was drawn freehand without reference guidelines. what I mean by that is each cell is drawn with respect to the previous frame order going one at a time. unlike the traditional method where lead animators establish key frames first and then send them off to the intern or lesser animators on the team to fill in the tween motions. if you want a better example of this kind of animation look at the animated series Superjail!
Here's a bit from someone who actually played it back in the day when it was new. Yes, a lot of the concerns you expressed are valid. This game isn't worth much more than a nostalgia trip now. However, a lot of what you expressed as a negative actually worked for me. As a kid, I absolutely loved mazes! This was a great game for explorers. There were tons of secrets to find, and if you paid attention, some of the grammar puzzles actually helped point you to them. It was long enough ago that I don't remember exactly how many, but there were plenty of puzzles that offered hints to secret rooms in the future. Also, again if you paid attention to the writing instead of just taking a test, there's a TON of lore here. It's extremely campy, and it eventually grew on me. Reading those stories is kind of like the Tek Jansen shorts that would occur on the Colbert Report. The author, obviously Meen himself, inserts himself in all sorts of adventures as a total Mary Sue. It's so over the top, and I adore it! The antagonist is both narcissistic & vengeful, almost like a "force of nature" villain. Kind of like the motivation of Monsters Inc., he hates smart children because they don't scare easily. That's why he runs a library, so he can capture children actually interested in reading that he can't scare. This is definitely not a story to be taken seriously in any way. Now yes, the interface is nothing special, but you can work around it. It's somewhat clunky to play. I eventually got used to it, and though it definitely doesn't play as smoothly as the Doom it hopes to replicate, it's still manageable. The fact that the controls are far from ideal means you actually have to play more tactically. You can't go guns blazing. Occasionally there's the large arena like the sewers level you showed, and I definitely had a lot of fun frantically running around the place dodging those projectiles. For the most part though, because you're usually in tight corridors without much maneuverability (and maybe you can attribute that to being a geeky, unathletic kid), the game teaches you patience. The focus is on exploration & careful navigation, as a maze should do. However, I will concede that I am personally an extremely patient person. Most people could be forgiven for passing on this game due to the clunky controls & "edutainmenty" switch from action to a grammar test. I'm probably in a very small minority that can appreciate the challenge of lackluster controls and forgive the pace-changing of the actual education part to really enjoy the joke it always was. Having been able to appreciate it, I think there's actual potential to make something out of this with a remake or sequel if you improve the controls. The license would obviously be cheap as free to pick up. It wouldn't be too hard to reimagine it with better game design and keep the joke. In the end, I'll agree it's a really hard game to recommend. It's got a super-niche audience, especially now. I recognize this is the internet and I'll get flamed hard for this, but I still have a place in my heart for Gnorris the Gnome.
+BlazeHedgehog I agree with you there. I particularly liked the way those reaper guys disintegrate whilst their boggle-eyed skulls float in mid-air for second, loony tunes style... :D
+BlazeHedgehog I was thinking exactly the same thing. The enemies are actually pretty cool, including the dragon with the old man's head and those owl/gargoyle things. And actually, the idea of using grammar as puzzles isn't so bad either. This game had potential, they just made some bad decisions.
My favorite is the grim reaper. Hes walking along like a happy cartoon and when he dies his skull has that stretched out falling animation that otherwise only cartoon used plus the surprised eyes, as well as the serious and badass design of him which adds to the comedy of his animation and eyes
I.M. Meen's sequel, Chill Manor, actually improves the inventory by giving you a Hexen-like bar at the bottom, as well as weapons with honest to God ammo. Losing all your stamina also leads to the game's antagonist, Ophelia Chill, erasing you from time completely rather than throwing you into a cell. Sadly, there's a lot less of the awesomely cheesy and weird animation. It was released some time in '96, so my guess is that the animation department was focusing more on Lord of the Clans at the time. Also, I.M. Meen got a sequel. That in itself still blows my mind a bit.
The sequel actually ends on a cliff hanger by having Meen free Chill and they both escape together, with the former saying he feels you will meet again soon. Sadly a third game never happened
I have to wonder what the subject for the third game would have been. Maybe science? They're both magic characters, so taking down science would make sense.
Honestly, I. M. Meen's voice actor definitely had fun voicing this guy you can tell, especially with his song in the beginning. I don't think this game is too bad, I had fun with it when I played it.
The CDi probably wouldn't be able to handle the raycasting engine used in the game. There was actually going to be a Sega CD version, but it was canceled pretty quickly.
Yeah the CDi REALLY wasn't designed as a "gaming" console (hence those broken controls in the Zelda games, was like their canary in the coal mine of staying power), that was really its death nail, if they wanted to focus on "educational" then why didn't any schools pick it up? We just had Macs with Math Blaster & Number Munchers installed
For a LONG time, I actually thought the cutsceenes from this were actually part of the CDi Zelda games! Now knowing that they were done by the same people it makes sense.
+WesleyB Crowen In hindsight I'm being needlessly cruel, their work on Warcraft Adventures was their best (relatively) and the game was most likely cancelled due to not meeting deadlines and adventure game decline (and starting to look dated when compared to Grim Fandango)
I think the problem with Animation Magic's animation is that it looks like it was composed directly as pixel art, rather than using the more common method of drawing traditional cels and then scanning them in. So there's far less detail in the artwork than in traditional animation, making it look sloppy and cheap.
"...although why someone who hates children and learning would become a librarian is beyond me." Well, maybe he wanted to destroy the system from the inside.
+Zxzero36 And in your head, as you're having your flash backs, you hear a fade echo. You can't quite make it out at first, but once you clear your mind it becomes clear of what it is, and it is the only word terrifying enough to give you nightmares: *"Dinner."* You start to feel dizzy.
I remember watching a report on my local news station about the DooM craze when I was little and it talked about a "Doom for kids" and showed a few seconds of a fps where youre killing giant spiders and Ive wondered what game they were showing ever since, this must be it?!
Wait WHAT?! DODGE a bullet?? Warcraft adventures looked and sounded amazing! The gameplay on youtube has amazing atmosphere, calm drawn out notes combined with the environment sounds that really shape and paint the world through you hearing. The animation looked fun and simple yet unique and I loved it. Small things like the goblin pilot giving a thumbs up while saying: Oh no, oh no it's worse than we thought, this design is brilliant! And the two headed ogre's fabulous pose when in front of a piece of meat you place over a fire, also the goblin in the tinkerer shop who I love a lot. I couldn't guess they made that animation at all, sad these guys and the humungus entertainment animators never got to do more :,(
Whenever I saw clips from this game I always assumed I M Mean was just some character from one of the Zelda CDi games. Little did I know he had an entire game made about him
Re: the engine, raycasting is a really easy algorithm to implement (and fun too - I wrote a raycaster in a few days a couple years ago for kicks) so I. M. Meen very likely doesn't use a licensed engine.
Finally, I get to watch your video! I was working on a review of this, but I didn't want to get influenced. Which was hard to do, cause I love your channel. Looks like you didn't enjoy the game too much. LOL, yeah it's pretty rough going. I dragged myself to the finish line and was able to beat it after much personal convincing. You didn't miss much, aside from new levels, recycled bad guys, and more scroll reading material. I will say that the scrolls get better and better the further you play. There's a lot of backstory to pick up on that fleshes out our evil little friend, Meen. Reading all the scrolls is fun, and it's the only thing I'd recommend out of this game aside from the glorious animations. I played some of Chill Manor but the game crashed on me at level two... so yeah, hard to say if that game is any better. It certainly feels like they tried to improve things! The sleepy kids crack me up. Thanks for giving Meen some love with the video! DOS games always need more attention!
1:16 why’s the villain so disconnected from the idea of evil and reality, why’s the singing just some one screaming, why’s the animation downscaled then zoomed in like they couldn’t get it to be in the correct resolution and needed to fix it but weren’t allowed to, and WHY IS THE WIRD HATE FROM A DIFFERENT TAKE dur to its different voice and tone, did the actor mess up or something.
I didn't know anything about this game prior, but the moment I saw the animations I just KNEW this was from the folks behind CD-I Zeldas. It's just unmistakable.
Honestly, the cut scenes are quite the improvement on the Zelda CD-i games. I. M. Meen himself isn't nearly as amorphous as Ganon, and he's not doing gross stuff like wiping his nose with his knee, or doing that ugly fish-eye lens mugging that Morshu does which makes him look like he should be singing some horrible rap about the items he has for sale.
+Lazy Game Reviews I have a copy of that from a charity shop. Meen only shows up at the end but Ophelia Chill is an entertainingly strange librarian person as well
When Meen opens up his book we're sucked into the most unpleasant place we've ever seen. A world without chairs is likely to be Clint's biggest nightmare.
I wonder how many 90s kids have played this game when they were children and rediscovered this game through RUclips Poops and laughed at the humorous edits of the cutscenes from this game they may have had to play after school, or may have even played in school during English Language Arts class on the school computers.
"Something is off with their animated style" No shading. All there images, in every game, had bright palettes and no shading so you would look at the images and you would know what they are supposed to be but your mind knows something is wrong (like uncanny valley) and its the lack of shadows, ANYWHERE. Even when he is stepping on the books his feet cast no shadows and its noticable on a subconcious level.
How would you compare this to Super 3D Noah's Ark? I know they are clones of two different early 90s shooters from id Software, but I still thought I ask anyway!
My grandma’s computer (Windows 95 maybe) had one of those castle maze games. I don’t remember if it had enemies. I wonder if it was this. I usually played Arkanoid and Space Pinball anyway.
If Animation Magic just stopped making games and started making a full length cartoon instead, it would have been the best thing ever.
it would be an absolute GOLD MINE for ytp sources.
Some workers from Animation magic created cartoons in russia, like Melnitsa studio and Saint Petersburg created KiKoriki or GoGoRiki
A whole season's worth of YTP material to meme out!
