Personal Success Definition
I define success as someone who creates something that means something to them or to a wider audience
The brothers are successful because they revived a long-forgotten style of animation that could be seen as both game design and film achievements but also were the first company to try making a game in the rubber hose style and even succeeded in doing so.
Skills for Success
The Moldenhauer brother’s skills include 1) experience with graphic design 2) a clear understanding of games and what makes them work 3) knowledge and love for old Fleischer studios films and cartoons. although the development of Cuphead was a team effort it could not have been achieved without chad Moldenhauer whos experience with graphic design allowed them to capture the look that they wanted. Mia Moldenhauer has been cited as saying that the brothers were often down in their basement with friends and family dissecting their games figuring out what made them work and what didn’t. Chad Moldenhauer has been cited as saying that their parents are who showed them old Fleischer films and that it was the fact that they were exposed to that at an early age that leads to their love of the rubber hose style that Cuphead would adopt.
How They Used These Skills
The Moldenhauer brothers as well as their team made of friends and family used their abilities as programmers, graphic designers, and a whole host of other talents to build a game that looks like it was ripped right out of a 1930s cartoon.
Challenges Overcome
The brothers had to overcome many challenges mainly being financial and life-based. In order to overcome these challenges, the remortgaged their homes and even brought on people they knew to fill certain roles such as composing the music since they knew that those people could create what they wanted with the same level of passion.
Significant Work
Some of their significant work of course includes Cuphead but also much more in development. DLC for the game is currently in development as well as a comedy series that will be streaming off of Netflix
the cuphead show being drawn by the Moldenhauer brothers coming soon to Netflix
The Delicious last course DLC that is currently in development
