Yeah - the likeless goes way beyond the similar but lesser art-style. They borrowed elements from previous works, as all creators have done since the beginning of time. So why all that blatant "stealing" is totally OK in the case of Cuphead, and evil plagiarism in the case of Enchanted Portals? Just because the creators of Cuphead added one probably novel idea to a mix almost completely made up of borrowed ingredients?Īnd please understand that I'm not trying to attack the creators of Cuphead. The idea of using that animation and music style in a Contra clone? Well, that could be the only totally original aspect of Cuphead, as far as I know. And that's just an example off the top of my head. The idea of using those in a video game? I don't think that's true either, as the 2d segments in Epic Mickey already did something very similar. The art style? The creators of Cuphead "stole" it from old Max Fleischer cartoons. Thu 10th Oct And what precisely is unethical here? You're accusing the creators of this game of plagiarism, but what are they plagiarizing exactly?.We’re both avid fans and we wanted to make something similar, but always from a place of respect and admiration for the original. Yes, of course Cuphead was a huge inspiration for Enchanted Portals. Xixo has since confirmed Cuphead was a key source of inspiration and noted how it had a lot of "respect and admiration" for Studio MDHR's game: Viewers have so far accused it of being a "bootleg version" of Cuphead, a "clone" and a complete "ripoff" of the popular run and gun game, while others have said the developers behind it should expect "legal troubles" and asked the team to at least admit the game was "inspired by" StudioMDHR's title. We were prepared for some backlash, but the trailer definitely reached way more people than we could ever anticipate, and all the hate and negativity coming our way has definitely had a huge impact on us.
ENCHANTED PORTALS CUPHEAD RIPOFF PC
The Switch and PC project hasn't even made it to Kickstarter yet, but already the promotional trailer is causing quite a stir online.ĭuring an interview with Polygon, Xixo – the developer behind the game (comprised of just two individuals) – said it experienced a lot of negativity after the original tweet went viral: A new and "magical" 2D platformer titled Enchanted Portals has come under fire for its close resemblance to Cuphead.
