Hey there! I recently joined the Nordic Game Jam (2017) and my team made a "abusive construction simulator" which in Italy happens way more than it should. Here's Mr. Calcestruzzi, who gets progressively angrier if you place the houses wrong:







And here he's happy for selling the house:


Here he pretends he knows nothing about why the house fell:


And here's the link to the (buggy of course, we made it in 40h) game:

I feel like I could have refined the animations more but it was a jam so I did everything in very few hours S:
Let me know if you want to see the skeleton, I don't mind sharing (:

Badlogic can voice it for sure

But wasn't he from Austria?
It'd be still very funny though...

Also he could start with Mamma mia and then go bad with creative-freestyle-swearing like (way too) many Italian men lol

[Mario]

My real name is Mario, and I can do a super mean Nintendo Mario impression if that works for you folks!

[Erika]

Ahahah but! Super Mario's accent is an accent invented by Japanese people I suppose because that's nowhere near Italian. Still if you DO record some audio I'll convince the folks that worked with me to add it to the game no matter what hahah.
My voice has a pitch too high anyway.

[Pharan]

Are you a saying that's not a how real Italian people a talk?

By the way, a neat trick to make image swaps look seamless is to key the image swap where the limb is moving fast.
It's also a good idea to just add those sharply-eased movements for the specific purpose of hiding that swap. Makes for a more lively movement too.

I guess you already did that on some of these. They look nice.

[Erika]

Hahahha no! Oh but maybe I'm not objective, I'm pretty sure I do have a heavy accent too...

Yeah you're right I could totally improve the swaps, I'll mind this for the future thank you (:

[Mario]

Give me lines and I'll record them.

[Nate]

She did! Cussing probably needs to be freestyle to feel authentic.

Also he could start with Mamma mia and then go bad with creative-freestyle-swearing like (way too) many Italian men lol
