Gangnam Style in an Adventure Game?

[DBoyWheeler]

With the Gangnam Style Craze out there, wouldn't it be funny if the Gangnam Style dance were made as some sort of Easter egg in an adventure game... like maybe a future AGS game (if nothing else, as an inside joke)?

[Stupot]

It wouldn't really be much of an inside joke. More a cultural reference, since everyone and his gran knows about Gangnam Style.

[Ponch]

I put a caramelldansen easter egg in a Barn Runner game once, so I don't see why someone couldn't do the same for Gangam Style. However, the problem with such pop culture references is that they don't age well. The Macarena anyone?

However, if you want to pay homage to Psy and his eternal masterwork, then by all means do so. 

[Jaffles]

Hah, had some time on my hand, thought I'd whip up a little animated tribute to Psy. (Sorry about the white background... was too lazy to get rid of). Might try to make the rest of the dance, and make it an easter egg in a later episode of Reon Quest

Ayyyyyyyyyyyy, piles of laundry!

O-o-o-Oppa Dumbang Style!

I guess I must be old and hopelessly not-with-it.  I remember the Macarena... I have no idea what "Gangnam" is!!

Some of them do. The Macarena was made in 1993 and if you play it people still know the dance.

The feet should not be left-right-left-right; the dance goes left-right-left-left, right-left-right-right

Haha I'd love to do a animation of that... Though I think it would be a waste of time.

La Macarena and Gangam Style don't age bad, they were awful since the first day, even La Macarena was another Los del Río's scurfy song without relevance during two years (and not even original). Gangman is old today, do not put it in an adventure for the eternity.

Ahh! The shame! Psy would be so disappointed 

I'm afraid the gif maker I used only allows 10 frames, so I can't really fix it. But if I ever use it in a game, rest assured I will not fail!

[OG]

Jaffles, that gangnam style tribute is epic! You should put it in your game lol.

I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

view spread and fave it on DA pls.

[Crimson Wizard]

How do you do a smooth animation like that?

[selmiak]

just like the old prince of persia animations were done, by tracing videoframes. And then of course improving where needed. And with way too much time...

this was the original, with 20 frames and not so smooth looping (watch the right foot or his hands for example), so I added another frame in between and also changed movement a bit to fit to my likings.

[Crimson Wizard]

Haha, right. I thought maybe there's something other than using video... like quirky vector animation or something.

[selmiak]

vector animation... sounds interesting

btw, I hope to see this in future AGS games as an easter egg (or main character in Dance Dance AGSolution clones, or with an OSD head...), as this is the thread for it, so it is free to use in AGS games, just gimme some credit...

Sorry for a bump, but couldn't resist;)
