Developer Blog Dev Q&A: Katie Orcutt, Junior Animator

“I Make Deadpool flip out and kill people.”

So what’s your job, basically?

I’m an animator working on the “Heroes” team – creating and designing moves for all the playable characters in the game.

What are you working on today?

Today, I’m polishing up some of Spider-Man’s combat animations. Specifically his light 1, 2, and 3 attack combos. I’m trying to make him feel more acrobatic and bouncy. We get a lot of feedback on how each character is supposed to look and feel. Our lead might say, “I think Wolverine needs to feel more powerful, so when he wigs out he looks like a rabid mongoose about to attack an elephant.” As an animator it’s your job to interpret that and adjust the keys accordingly ("keys" is our shorthand for “key frames,” which dictate the position of a character at any given time).

What’s your favorite thing that you’ve worked on?

One of my favorite characters I worked on was Mr. Fantastic. His power set was challenging to animate – he has a really complex rig. He can move in any direction, so his character model’s “bone” structure (we call it a “rig”) has to accommodate that. Since his power is stretching, we really tried to push the limit on what kind of moves we could do with him. In the end, the hard work paid off – I think Mr. Fantastic is one of the more fun characters to play in the game.

Deadpool is another character that was great to work on. His ninja-like fighting style gave us some really creative ideas – if you hold down the B button + Right Trigger, he starts running around slashing people in a continuous rage. The best part is when you run towards a wall…

What’s the best part of the job?

It’s pretty awesome animating the characters you’ve grown up with – Spider-Man, Wolverine, Hulk. Making them come to life and having the ability to play them in the game is so exciting!

Worst part?

Too much spandex… One can only take looking at grown men in spandex for so long.

looks like you’re doing a great job. A truly stretchy, stretcho(Mr. F) will be a blast.

This is the first Dev to mention Reed! He has so much potential that an imaginative person can do just about whatever they want with him… I’m really looking forward to using him on my #1 team!

Hammy's avatar

Posted by: Hammy on 05/30/09

I know, although not one of my favorite characters he is one of my most anticipated for this game. I hope they get really creative with his moveset!

Jadryx's avatar

Posted by: Jadryx on 05/31/09

Yeah he’s not my favorite either but his powers can make for some unique moves.

APoorLittleSeal's avatar

Posted by: APoorLittleSeal on 06/23/09

I agree in that even though he is one of my lesser played characters (near the bottom), he could make for some fun times in this game.

The Might Thor's avatar

Posted by: The Might Thor on 07/12/09

I hope he has a move where he can wrap around opponents and squeeze ‘em like a python.

DarkAvengersRock's avatar

Posted by: DarkAvengersRock on 07/25/09

I only played Mr. F because of his moveset in MUA1. I hope this game doesn’t disappoint!

raideroutlaws's avatar

Posted by: raideroutlaws on 05/27/09

Can’t wait to play all these characters!!!

Rusty_26's avatar

Yeah, me too! I’m getting extra pumped for this game

iron24's avatar

Posted by: iron24 on 05/27/09

Deadpool going into a killing rage sounds like fun, great stuff and we need more of these little short blogs to keep us sated.

Captain Spidey's avatar

Posted by: Captain Spidey on 05/28/09

I’m actually on overload myself… CWO testing announced (check your email IRON!)… E3 Trailer… This… Wow, you’d think the game was coming out next month!!!

Jadryx's avatar

Posted by: Jadryx on 05/31/09

I wish it was!

DarkAvengersRock's avatar

Posted by: DarkAvengersRock on 07/25/09

hey, what about me? I’m nice! (for CWO testing!)

Another dev blog that gets me hyped to play this game! I’ll be running Deadpool into a wall the first chance I get. haha

Bob_The_Hero's avatar

Posted by: Bob_The_Hero on 05/27/09

Thank you devs for all the info today. Like the songbird video, Green Goblin and Venom in a new trailer confirming them playable, and a new dev diary all in one day!

Hawkeye's avatar

Posted by: Hawkeye on 05/27/09

Cool blog. Thanks for the update.

Jean_Grey's avatar

Posted by: Jean_Grey on 05/27/09

yay another dev diary, we want more

Jadryx's avatar

Posted by: Jadryx on 05/27/09

Thanks for the info - great stuff guys! Keep up the good work and keep the info coming!

Jadryx's avatar

Posted by: Jadryx on 05/27/09

The lightning strike by Storm in the first pic is great!

Boy Banshee's avatar

Posted by: Boy Banshee on 05/28/09

Yeah, looks very powerful, however I fear this indicates lack of creative thinking when it came to creating Storm’s four powers- as it looks fairly similar to the lightning strike move she had in XML, XML2 and MUA.

Empath fan's avatar

Posted by: Empath fan on 05/28/09

It looks similar, but I can see her in a position as if she was throwing the lightning bolt. I think we should actually play through the game and or wait for more info before making a final judgment, just my opinion however.

Jadryx's avatar

Posted by: Jadryx on 06/17/09

The powers will probably look similar since there’s only so many powers that each character has that will translate well to a game. Lightning happens to be one of those powers for Storm.

phoenix212's avatar

Posted by: phoenix212 on 05/28/09

hopfully they have made it more powerful than the one saw in the 1st trailer? but every thing sounds great so fingers crossed smile

The Might Thor's avatar

Posted by: The Might Thor on 05/28/09

Pfff, that should be Thor’s thunder strike rolleyes cheese

SpideyWolvie's avatar

Posted by: SpideyWolvie on 05/29/09

Agreed, he needs an ownage move smile

DarkAvengersRock's avatar

Posted by: DarkAvengersRock on 05/27/09

Sounds like you have fun doing your job. Thanks for the details!!

Deadpool28's avatar

Posted by: Deadpool28 on 05/27/09

Cant wait for the next character’s release!

FinlandMan's avatar

Posted by: FinlandMan on 05/30/09

Exactly. Now that Green Goblin and Venom have been officially confirmed, all future reveals will be complete surprises.

iron24's avatar

Posted by: iron24 on 05/30/09

You would hope so but then the trailer came out and unless a lot of those heroes are unlockables we might have seen the rest of the entire lineup or maybe they are just playing with our heads, ha.

Hawkeye's avatar

Posted by: Hawkeye on 05/30/09

I don’t know. I think outside of the confirmed characters most of the people in the trailer will be NPCs or bosses. Maybe a few (Cables) will be unlockable playable but I don’t think they’d spoil a reveal before they reveal them. (Outside of the whole GG and Venom sitch)

FinlandMan's avatar

Posted by: FinlandMan on 05/31/09

Nah, they’re probably just NPCs and cameos.

Captain Spidey's avatar

Posted by: Captain Spidey on 05/30/09

Well… A few of us are suspecting Psylock based on a very early clue… We will see though!

SpideyWolvie's avatar

Posted by: SpideyWolvie on 05/31/09

Yeah Psylocke could be in from the clue, also I think at least 4 shown in the trailer will be unlockables

Jadryx's avatar

Posted by: Jadryx on 05/31/09

I’m hoping at least a few are unlockable! (Cable mainly)

SuperHiepsi's avatar

Posted by: SuperHiepsi on 07/25/09

Cable, Cyclops, Bishop, Hercules, Black Panther. That’s what this game is missing so far.

SuperHiepsi's avatar

Posted by: SuperHiepsi on 07/25/09

not that there’s anything wrong with emma, either.

Guyver of War's avatar

Posted by: Guyver of War on 05/27/09

yes now show venom and green goblin they were new reveals today on spike they look amazing and it showed a venom (gargan) fusion

FroBoy11's avatar

Posted by: FroBoy11 on 05/27/09

So now I’m ready to see Deadpool run straight into a wall and fall over.

beastfromtheeast's avatar

Posted by: beastfromtheeast on 05/28/09

lol that would be funny! But hopefully they made the environments more interactive (aka wall flips)

theshredder39's avatar

Posted by: theshredder39 on 05/28/09

and since we’re gonna be in the streets this time tank characters shoul be able to lift up cars

DarkAvengersRock's avatar

Posted by: DarkAvengersRock on 07/25/09

That’s a great idea, BFE! I hope they use it in the game.

SuperHiepsi's avatar

Posted by: SuperHiepsi on 07/25/09

Wall flips DO sound awesome.

Empath fan's avatar

Posted by: Empath fan on 05/28/09

OMG, it’s Storm doing a lightning bolt in the first pic, hot damn! Lol.

Jubilee's avatar

Posted by: Jubilee on 05/28/09

I see STORM!!
She needs her own Dev Diary! lol

Empath fan's avatar

Posted by: Empath fan on 05/28/09

Agreed, Jubilee!

KingStorm's avatar

Posted by: KingStorm on 05/28/09

I agree, Jubilee. <-- Wow that rhymed. I’m a poet, and didn’t know it. I rhymed again...lol. As Rogue would say, “How can I turn this thing off.” On a serious note, keep the pictures of Storm coming. grin.

Mr. Fantastic was awesome in MUA1. Good to know he is going to rock in this as well.

SpideyWolvie's avatar

Posted by: SpideyWolvie on 05/29/09

Yeah, he was fun to play as, loved his pinball move

Jadryx's avatar

Posted by: Jadryx on 06/17/09

Last was the move I used the least. I liked Fantastic Fists

iron24's avatar

Posted by: iron24 on 05/28/09

Hey did you guys see War Machine in the trailer or was that my imagination, if so I am even more psyched for the game. Loved Gobby and Venom, and the game looks so sweet! Deadpool looked amazing and I don’t even like his character but I wanted to pick up my controller and do that spin, jump, machine gun move that was awesome!

The Might Thor's avatar

Posted by: The Might Thor on 05/28/09

I’m hoping War Machine plays uniquely from Iron Man, even if he’s just a skin.

iron24's avatar

Posted by: iron24 on 05/28/09

Well since I love IM so much I love me some Rhodey and War Machine so I hope he is an unlockable character as I don’t think it would be fair to have IM and War Machine both in the 24 player roster as they are going to play somewhat similarly. But if I can play as War Machine too, very cool.

Deadpool vs Wolverine's avatar

Posted by: Deadpool vs Wolverine on 05/28/09

I saw war machine and she-hulk in the new trailer

iron24's avatar

Posted by: iron24 on 05/30/09

Yeah there was Firestar, Molecule Man, Hercules and a few others as well.

APoorLittleSeal's avatar

Posted by: APoorLittleSeal on 06/23/09

I doubt that will happen if he is a skin. It would be incredibly interesting if he did though.

Why else would anyone wear purple???

theshredder39's avatar

that reminds me, i’m starting to think if there’s a possibility that Hawkeye might be in the game

Excellent. Come to the Dark Side! Embrace Hawkeye! LOL

Jadryx's avatar

I’ve never been able to figure that out....and I think there’s a way to do more colors than what is listed in the regular forums

APoorLittleSeal's avatar

YAY! That seems like such an insignificant victory, but hey, what do I know?

Nexus's avatar

The more I see on the development blogs, the more psyched I get about playing the game. I can’t wait to get my hands on it.

Nexus, I completely agree with you, wholeheartedly and unreservedly!

I love seeing the progress that has been made on this game. Storm’s Lightning looks great. Seeing her lightning has made me very happy. I wish we could get more of her. At any rate, thanks for the dev diary. Keep up the good work! Go Storm!!!

SpideyWolvie's avatar

Posted by: SpideyWolvie on 05/29/09

Hope shes better than in MUA1

Hawkeye's avatar

Posted by: Hawkeye on 05/29/09

I’m more interested in seeing what other moves we get. Lightning is a given and we know how that’ll work but how about some hail, snow, or ice? If Bobbi isn’t in this game, like it doesn’t seem he will be, it opens the door for Storm to use more ice attacks.

Jadryx's avatar

Posted by: Jadryx on 06/17/09

Or at least a blizzard attack (mmmm I’m hungry for Dairy Queen now)

FireMadeFlesh's avatar

Posted by: FireMadeFlesh on 05/28/09

Great work! The latest video looks awesome! I can’t wait to see more X-Men in action. (Hint! Hint!)

Hawkeye's avatar

Posted by: Hawkeye on 05/29/09

You mean like Beak? raspberry

DarkAvengersRock's avatar

Posted by: DarkAvengersRock on 07/25/09

Then it would be called XML3, instead of MUA2. Duh!

theshredder39's avatar

of course, how can you have a marvel game without Storm ya know?

Songboy's avatar

Posted by: Songboy on 05/28/09

Yeah, Storm is one of my fav characters

Naxohh's avatar

Posted by: Naxohh on 05/28/09

Yeap storm is my favorite character in MUA2!

KingStorm's avatar

Posted by: KingStorm on 05/29/09

Yeah, Storm is my favorite character too. She was the best in XML1. And I can’t wait to put her on my team in MUA2.

Good call. The bosses are the fun bit too.

DarkAvengersRock's avatar

Posted by: DarkAvengersRock on 07/25/09

Yeah, about that, Dr. T. Please get on the Devs and the Mods to help us ACTUALLY hear a bit more on 1-number of levels, 2-number of Boss battles, 3-Number of minibosses, 4-number of NPCs in game. We need some info! How many characters are playable (outside of 1st 24 characters) that are unlockable before being playable?

SuperHiepsi's avatar

Posted by: SuperHiepsi on 07/25/09

I sort of thought the ‘bosses’ were going to be opposing heroes… Is there going to be a bad guy behind it all?

SuperHiepsi's avatar

Posted by: SuperHiepsi on 07/25/09

this too.

Hawkeye's avatar

Posted by: Hawkeye on 05/29/09

And Hercules and that big spider-y robot in the new trailer but I agree, let’s see more bosses!

theshredder39's avatar

Posted by: theshredder39 on 05/29/09

Omega Red and Lady Deathstrike will make decent bosses

iron24's avatar

Posted by: iron24 on 05/30/09

If you read one of the reviews, at IGN I think Electro is a boss.

theshredder39's avatar

Posted by: theshredder39 on 05/30/09

well, that’s an ok choice for a boss, i’d expect mystique to be confermed before Electro (if she is a boss) but this works too, Juggernaut can probably step on Electro lol

DarkAvengersRock's avatar

Posted by: DarkAvengersRock on 07/25/09

I hear ya! That was the best in the last game. And, I just heard from SDCC that they’re actually doing side conversations with characters that have backstory and know eachother, both playable and NPC alike, I think.

Hopefully we can get a lot more short blogs like this. Storm looked great in the trailer and it will be interesting to see her other powers in the game.

Captain Spidey's avatar

Posted by: Captain Spidey on 05/30/09

There are still a lot of characters that we need to hear more about… Thing, Human Torch, and Cap (minus the voice work) I want to know how their gameplay is going to be…

I thought Cap was the most true to form character in the first game, I am curious to see how they alter him for this one… He is one character that I am afraid that they can actually mess up by changing him up…

Hawkeye's avatar

Posted by: Hawkeye on 05/30/09

They better not get rid of the shield throw. I love that move.

Jadryx's avatar

Posted by: Jadryx on 05/31/09

That was my favorite move for Cap. I’m betting it will make a return! (upgraded somehow?)

Oh no… tell us what happens when Deadpool runs into a wall?!

Captain Spidey's avatar

I’m guessing that he falls down… and says, “ouch!”

SpideyWolvie's avatar

Posted by: SpideyWolvie on 05/31/09

lol he may run up it, meaning spidey can crawl?

ya know? it’s would be kinda cool if you could use your superpower moves during a combo, like in Mortal Kombat vs DC ya know? it’d make fighting alot more fun (please nobody flame me for mentioning DC on the website of a Marvel video game)

Deadpool was my favourite character in MUA 1, I heard he breaks the fourth wall in MUA 2 which means Deadpool will be even more hilarious, while blowing stuff up

I agree deadpool is 1 of the cooler characters also my fav because of his fighting skill with his hands but he will also use guns, knives, bomds, and swords to get the job bone. Lets not forget the wise cracks.

animating sounds like a blast! I wonder how closely the animators work with the artists?

floydix's avatar

Posted by: floydix on 07/26/09

Good question juicebeast...have no idea, though..

SuperHiepsi's avatar

Posted by: SuperHiepsi on 07/26/09

When I worked in CRPG design as an art director, my sketches were given to the 3D artist to make 3D models out of them, which were then given to the animators. Sometimes the head of production would call me to give my input on how the final animations looked, but not always, and my input at that stage was not considered authoritative. We worked no closer than that, even though we all sat three cubicles away from each other. But perhaps that was a flaw of OUR studio; perhaps they work more interactively elsewhere.

Hmm interesting tidbit, thanks for the input, JC!
