Shantae Half-Genie Hero Kickstarter update - Costume vote, new animation engine

Let’s kick things off with another vote. And to vote properly, you’re going to need a little context. Remember that magic carpet race at Cape Crustacean? The chapter you all funded as a stretch goal? Well in that chapter, Shantae and friends need to infiltrate the race and identify the saboteur who’s been stealing carpets out from under everyone’s noses. Rottytops goes undercover posing as one of the Pit Crew, because hey -- why not? Here’s where you come in to flex your mighty voting muscles. Rather than a straight-up A, B, C vote like our previous ones, we’re going for a “two-fer”. You get to vote on a “Head Costume” and also a “Body Costume”. Then we’ll put the winning combination together, and BAM!! Instant Rottytops cosplay.

And here’s Shantae sporting her jammies! This is an example of our newly refined animation system which uses a combination of traditional hand drawn animation and custom created “Spine” rigs. Pretty dang awesome.
