I like that this video doesn't just focus on the brothers and brings up the fact that Maja Moldenhauer quit her job and bet everything on this game *while she was raising two little kids* which is for me one of the most astounding parts of the entire story. That takes...COURAGE.
The brothers did the exact same thing and worked as hard and I mean I was their project but I will say yeah taking care of children during all of this is pretty outstanding and she did an *AMAZING* job at inking and art
Hell, I would say that all of this takes _stupidity_ rather than courage. I would never in a million years advise anyone to do what they did, because if just one little thing went wrong, they would be in a seriously horrible situation. Of course, I'm still glad they did it. If they just had that little bit of sense to go, "We have children to feed, we shouldn't be putting so much at stake for this", then this game would never have been made.
Imagine spending that many hours on a single project only to have it cancelled, or really negatively reviewed and forgotten... Indie developers really DO risk everything.
People shouldn't take this as a guide. Hundreds of games are released on steam every month that get < 1000 downloads. They are lucky not to have ended up like that but it is a reminder that 'success' is rare.
Imagine putting in this kind of Herculean effort into a game, the whole time not knowing whether it was even going to turn a profit? That's insane, all of these developers are incredible.
A fantastically passionate team. On their first attempt at making a game they made a borderline masterpiece. To see what their next game will be is genuinely interesting since most sequels surpass the first by a lot. If not a Cuphead 2 let's see what else they can make.
They keep implying that the DLC will be the final Cuphead adventure, yet they also said they'll continue to use traditional hand-drawn animation as long as it's financially possible. So I'm very curious to see what's next from MDHR!
@@BernatLunaMartinez Perhaps one day. For now I'm excited to see what else they can do with hand drawn games! Their first game has has sold 5 million by the end of September 2019. Sky's the limit!
@@Awsome2464 Heavy doubt since Cupheads getting a show! Garantees we'll at least see some spin-off games. If they do another non Cuphead 2D game, I suppose it'll be another 2D platformer since hand drawn 3D platformers aren't very common, Unless they do a Paper Mario type thing.
These 3 and Tina Nawrocki are my heroes. Cuphead is the reason i am currently in school for animation. I can’t thank these guys enough. It’s such a passionate and fun game.
How is that going? I am absolutely inspired as well and making an interactive musical story game. I have a 3 person team and I am looking for a passionate animator.
Cuphead is an example of developers being so dedicated to and focused on their work that it not only comes out as a great game, but a game that everyone will remember.
I'm glad Cuphead succeeded. I usually stick to fighting games exclusively, but out of my 24 years of living, Cuphead was the first "Adventure/Run & Gun" game I was really invested in (other than Pokemon up to Gen 4). Creating out of passion will always outdo creating solely for profit; that's why a lot of AAA games are flopping nowadays. I'm excited to see Studio MDHR's next big project.
Guys I thank you from the bottom of my heart for creating this amazing work of art. You guys gave me enough motivation to go after my dreams, You are the best!
No studio deserves more respect, or praise in recent years then the 2 brothers, wife, and rest of the team at MDHR... Chasing dreams, hard workers, who make quality hand crafted passion projects, and do it right.. Treating the workers right, taking time to make it top quality. They're incredibly inspirational, and motivating. Cant wait to see what they're making next... To all the big studios rushing games out every year, that are copy and paste like the past 10 they made (Assassins Creed, COD, Madden, etc.) be more like MDHR. You might learn something.
One of the most inspirational teams and video games in my opinion. Fell in love with the concept of Cuphead the first moment I saw it and waited with bated breath for its release. Congratulations on all the success and praise you guys and girls have received, all totally deserved! I hope one day to make video games myself and how you talked about your relationship as brothers mirrors mine and my brother's! Thank you for all your hard work and passion!
My dad is actually a senior level artist for TT games who make the LEGO games, he’s been working there since 2005/6 when I was 4/5 years old and still does to this day as I’m currently 18 years of age. My dads first game was the first Indiana Jones game and I remember when he cane home and gave me a box of Lego, and being a big Lego fan, I ended created some things for him and still do now in which he puts into his levels, the first one was Lego Batman (which also started my obsession with Mark hamill’s Joker and batman in general) when I made jokers hand buzzer machine when you play as him in free play, in Lego Batman 3 my dads level was the the joker and Harley DLC and he Asked me to make jokers cake which you transform and build from the Batman one, and recently my dads level in dc supervillains was the position ivy level and I built the vines for him which again he then created in game. My dad still to this day has a drawing I did of Indiana Jones that I remember drawing for him of a scrap piece of red cardboard and he keeps it on his desk at work, and he brought me in to test his levels out for any bugs before they finalised it. I can’t tell you how much I relate to this and I absolutely love cup head, I myself am a huge fan on ppl the 1920’s -40’s in America and especially with cartoons from the 30’s/40’s (who framed roger rabbit and looney tunes being my favourite alongside Tom and Jerry and tex Avery cartoons), and just seeing this really hit me as this combines both my love for video games and 30’s/40’s cartoons. I actually draw and create props myself, but I’ve always drawn and created my own 30’s cartoon characters from since I was 4/5 playing my dads Lego games and still do now as we get them early, and I just love how these guys have worked so hard and invested so much into it and truly stuck to a traditional animation 30’s/40’s style to do it, I love the game so much guys and it truly hit home and relate so much to this. ❤️😊
The two brothers in the game represent the two brothers who made the game thats why i like indie devs they really make a game and put love in it they bassist make a game they’d like
Cuphead has become a video game that has managed to reach the hearts of many people, and has called many people to the world of animation, among them me. This is a very good video that shows us that long but beautiful work that is Cuphead. Excuse me, but the animated gif that appears at minute 1:08 of Cuphead and Mugman was made by me. Could you please give me credit for that animated gif in the description?
this entire game is the sole reason ive put some much time and dedication into my passion of art and comic books. it just touched me on a level nothing else ever has, the amount of time and effort these people put into this game is incredible, they really put in all they had, they knew there was the possibility of it flopping or being negatively viewed, but they took a chance. seriously, thank you studio mdhr, you really inspired me
Studio MDHR thank you for making Cuphead look awesome you guys deserve the spotlight Chad and Jared You two are the gods of video games. and Old cartoons jazzy music especially the designs and animation style too. And to my favorite designers Tina nawrocki Joseph Coleman and Jack Clark you guys are heroes real true heroes. So overall thank you guys for everything congratulations! You guys deserve Love and respect.
Not only is the game a masterpiece, but these people are truly amazing. this success couldn't have happened to better people. cant wait for the "epic" DLC
I just bought and discovered this on Switch. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I grew up the same way, watching the same things. Now almost 40, this brings nostalgia to me. Thank you!
All of this was the result of a lot of work and love for art/games. Now, imagine what artists and developers could do if we lived in a production model where we didn't have to depend on running the risk of living on the streets if something went wrong? Where profit is not the important thing, in an economy based on resources. How many dormant geniuses could emerge?
I really don't understand Switch owners, they argue they have the best console and the best games on the market, but yet they are begging for games everywhere, Im starting to think that system doesnt have games just like the Vita.
Victor Kruger LOL not begging. Cuphead just fits with the type of games Switch owners like. 2D, retro, cute. I can live without it, though. My Switch backlog is crazy. I have over 100 games. The system has over 1000 games. It’s nothing like Vita. Does Vita have anything a Zelda, Mario, Mario Kart, Splatoon, ARMS, etc?
I was thrilled with the story! I am gratified when I see people doing what they love as their work, as this creates a better world. I want to buy a copy once I get a job! kkkkk God bless you all
I love the fact that you did this, Cuphead is my favorite game of 2017. And this family seems absolutely wonderful, makes me wanna buy three more copies. But the editing in this feature is nauseating.
Beautiful. I really do wish they showed the coding process as well. Coding those animations to trigger when they should not to mention the other 90% of stingy coding patience it takes to build a proper Game Controller is video worthy too. Though I do understand the main focus of the game is the traditional artwork in general just as a coder myself I would have loved to see a small bit of the nerd staring at computer monitors with those bloodshot eyeballs at 3am. ☺ Im just nitpicking.. Brillian work! Gives the rest of us Indies hope for our bleeding fingertips 😆💝 I'm actually in the early stages of designing my own classic influenced game..🤞

Congrats to MDHR on the records and being the subject of the first episode!

GIVE CREDIT !!!
Intellectual theft but okay
Hola Vicky
Did you know that this game was entirely built by hand?
Who would be crazy enough to make a game like that?!?!
Remarkable achievement
I did but you never know how crazy it is till the devs talk about it. Why I love these kind of documentaries.
Actually, the colors were made with computer
Only on some models. What about the water colour backgrounds?
this entire game is the sole reason ive put some much time and dedication into my passion of art and comic books. it just touched me on a level nothing else ever has, the amount of time and effort these people put into this game is incredible, they really put in all they had, they knew there was the possibility of it flopping or being negatively viewed, but they took a chance. seriously, thank you studio mdhr, you really inspired me
And now it’s coming for the Switch.
What a time to be alive.

Whoa, I did not know.

Off topic...but damn, Chad and his wife are incredible looking people.
Hes the Chad all the incels are scared of :P
@@russellmasc Well, he is a Chad.
@@WarningBFG-isHiring lol..the Cuphead Chad vs the virginal Fortniter
Love you MDHR! One of the best studios in the biz to work with :D
This was amazing, thank you, Red Bull, for making this min doc.
Ai will never be able to create the love and passion for projects like these. Mad respect to the brothers!
Very cool, I love Cuppers.
I'm so excited for the DLC!!♡♡♡♡
♡w♡
Edit: I saw the 7:12 clip and It melted my heart!!♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
Chad: Aaaaannd you're a creep.
Me: NO SHE'S NOT SHE'S A MOM
(🤣)

What is Chad doing at 7:12 🤨
The cuphead book is REAL. I would pay thousands just to have a copy of it
This Makes Me Wanna Cry, I Love The Game So Much
You guys are wonderful.
I just bought and discovered this on Switch. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I grew up the same way, watching the same things. Now almost 40, this brings nostalgia to me. Thank you!
So creative. they hit the ball out of the park with this game.
Marija's rotating lightbox is blowing my mind right now.
Wow... not a normal dev team at all. I have so much respect for them. Love these people!
We need buyable versions of the physical props, especially the book.
YES
So excited for the upcoming dlc! Instant purchase!
Yup!
Where’s the Fourth World Record? “Most Times To Throw Your Controller Into The Wall”
LOL COMEDY
More than deserved, played and beat with my wife, literally a lifetime experience, one of the best games i've ever played.
@OctagonalSM64 Well said sir, it's THE game my daughter love too!
Those kids are gonna do incredible things when they grow up. I just know it.
Let's here it for Studio MDHR!

So much hard work and passion went into making Cuphead, masterpiece game 👏
Have idea, put in pot, stir without end in sight. Success!! Awesome work!!
My baby is going to be 29 by the time I finish this game 😂 it’s so hard but I’ll never stop trying because I adore the animation and music so much ❤
Their families must be so freaking proud of their boys.
So. Many. Cuts. I love that this series is happening, but please don't cut your docs like it's one long trailer.
Ikr
if you have a Xbox One or a PC you have to buy this beauty. I Love you Cuphead
You guys beat Wario Land SHAKE IT!
Bro, the editor of this video slammed like 2 cases of Red Bull before cutting all these 2 second shots together....
7:11 até 7:27 é minha parte favorita.
É simplesmente adorável.
I wonder what artstyle theyll go for, for their next ip! If not that oldschool style then maybe some retro 80/90’s anime and animation style
7:12 like please
How much you guys bet there's going to be a cup head 2 because of the success of this amazing masterpiece
9:26 ok, yup, the devs are definitely Canadian
Just completed the game. Felt great but also sad it was ending
"I never wanna work that hard again"
Me: *Aww man*
It's the only game I'd consider getting an Xbox for ....buuuuut still holding out hope they'll port it to Switch eventually. :)

you can play it on the pc too
Cody Ledbetter PC’s are for email, porn, and breaking in a week. Consoles are for games. :) :) :)
PacDork bullshit! I finished Cuphead on steam with steam controller on TV screen.
This inspires me to become both an animator and game designer
The game is great and I’m totally content with the dlc delays , I know studio mdhr has good intentions. I bet the Netflix show will be good
I love how indie devs are outpacing (most) major studios in terms of quality.
Why is there any dislikes on this video?
Everything about this game is out there
A shout out to the animators by name would have been nice. I know they put a lot of hard work in.
Just perfect.
Geez I hope they gave all thanks to God for letting this game be successful because what they did financial wise was really risky
That was so heartwarming
It's just amazing! Thank you!
Mabye they can make some cartoons to entertain people and their children
Or make a hole show
I was thrilled with the story! I am gratified when I see people doing what they love as their work, as this creates a better world. I want to buy a copy once I get a job! kkkkk God bless you all
I'm melting. That was great.
I wonder if chad and Jared is cuphead and mugman and Maja is ms. Chalice
Shout out to Rossatron for the recommendation.
Im waitingvfor the next game that studio mhdr make
Fantastic Game cube head is my favourite favorite game

I encourage you to buy the game and appreciate their hard work to make this come true
*IT GIVES YOU WINGS!*
Still hoping for some Switch love XD would fit perfect on it,.
Love sometimes takes a while. But it arrives all the same.
The editing is giving me a bit of a headache since there are so many cuts
