#wakfu interview

[cocogum]

Tot had a QnA today (Youtube). Idk if you understand/speak French, but if you do, did you get anything from it?

Hey Anon!!

Yeah I do speak and write French (given how it’s my first language)

But about the interview, yes I know about it but I haven’t watched it nor am I willing to see it.

The reason why I wouldn’t dare click on that video is because Tot is just…well he just can’t stop yapping and revealing too much. That’s always been an issue with him. When it came to doing interviews with people, Tot won’t stop spoiling and he WILL ruin the remaining episodes for you. That’s just how he has always been so I usually tend to avoid his interviews until I finish a season to see what he’s gotta say about it.

With the Ankama and Waven accounts, he obviously spoils because he’s talking about the game and the game is usually much more caught up than the show. But for the accounts it’s always easier to dodge them cuz all u gotta do is mute them or block them for a while.

When it comes to the interviews though, DO NOT WATCH THEM IF YOU HAVEN’T FINISHED THE SEASON (if you don’t like spoilers that is). Tot even said he’ll spoil a lot on that video (he said this in the description of the video but it was written in French). And even if you don’t understand French and you’re willing to watch the video, Tot WILL use scenes from the remaining episodes so you’re definitely not safe from visual spoilers.

But don’t worry once the season is finished, I’ll go take a look at it. Tot also usually talks about a lot of things that happen after a season in interviews so it would be really interesting to see what he’s gotta say for this one. I’ll talk about it if the video doesn’t have English subtitles 💖💖

where did love go? // when all is said and done? // hey now, put your hands in the air // i'ma go through your stuff // where did love go? // you put the running into run // you're asking me to stay // but I never met a man I could trust

the wrong kind of love etc etc.

LIVEBLOG: Wakfu Season 4, Episode 3

I'm glad that I waited for a while before liveblogging season 4, becuase in the time it took me to get here, Tot has apparently said on an interview that Eliatrope is inspired by a family member.

I think that she has that... "author is projecting something here" je ne sais quoi that I, a fan of Joris Jurgen and Kerubim Crepin, am totally supportive of.

Greetings reused art assets from Aux Tresors de Kerubim.

He carved an anime figurine collection of them... AND drew fanart. He's insane.

[sighs deeply] I need sticky rice puer so bad. My tea desires are just building up, and one of these days, I might do something I regret..

I hate Arpagone. She's a boring character whose only motivation is imaginary children and a Man she is in Love with. However, this is a rare moment that sort of endeared me to her slightly.

She might be a crazy yandere, but I too believe that money that just sits away hoarded in some unthinkably rich person's giant vault uselessly should be like... used for Bettering the Society.

Anyway.

[wearepurplejackets]

Just watched episode 8 of season 4 of Wakfu... Iop God, I'm so scared of episode 9.

Tot in the interviews: Well, Yugo is going to suffer and lose a lot in this season. I'm not kidding.

Me: Haha, well yeah man, as always. Not surprised. You have been traumatized him since the begginin-

Me, after watching episode 8 of season 4: ooooh, okay, I see now....

TURN BACK TURN BACK TURN BACK TURN BACK TURN BACK TURN BACK TURN BACK TURN BACK TURN BACK TURN BACK TURN BACK TURN BACK TURN BACK TURN BACK TURN BACK TURN BACK TURN BACK TURN BACK TURN BACK TURN BACK TURN BACK TURN BACK TURN BACK TURN BACK TURN BACK TURN BACK TURN BACK TURN BACK TURN BACK TURN BACK TURN BACK TURN BACK !!!!!!!!!!

He's alone in the enemy territory, like a f*cking candy for this wakfu vampires. He must be so afraid at this point of life. He's left alone again for god sakes, let this kid have a breath.

Yugo cannot return, unless someone risks their life for him. And I find that difficult, because the one who usually does that crazy thing to save others is always him.

How this will end with Yugo having a throne like in the trailer, an army of little ones and ending growing up like there is no tomorrow? (Hot older Yugo rise your ass baby!) Is he going to "live" there? He is trapped!!! How is he going to master the extasis??? Or... Survive????

Aren't they going to eat all of his powers in an instant??? Seriously I didn't expect ANYTHING of this episode. And wow, Qilby, wow. Respect, still hate you tho you're an idiot, but respect. AND ONLY 5 EPISODES TO GO. HOLD MY HAND. What a spring is coming.

The line between Yugo being executed and live is so thin right now. Poor boy...

Don't lose yourself Yugo!!

[amaliashiro]

New spoilers for Wakfu 4!!

I found these interesting footage from an interview with the writter and producer of Wakfu!

First, it looks like adult Yugo (like in the Kickstarter) giving a speech to Amalia, Ruel, Adamaï, Tristepin, Goultard, Joris and Armand.

Secobd interesting one is a full shot of adult Yugo.

A shot with Armand and his wife. Looks like the Brotherhood is back to the Sadida kingdom.

Dear Elely😍

[loryn-art]

I absolutely love your modern AU. Is it ok to ask how the lore works? I would love to hear it!

*takes a deep breath*

I don't know :)

But here's what I've done so far, (I only got the idea last week !) :

This idea popped into my head because of what ToT said in an interview. I think it was some kind of big misunderstanding, or something we'll only be able to get later or some kind of joke but whatever, it inspired me to make this note, and then everything escalated so quickly in my head.

Yeah, it had something to do with their hair colors at first but then I started thinking about the reasons the Goddess Eliatrope wanted her children and how. In this story I'd love to mix our own mythologies with the Lore of Wakfu, and bring famous Gods and Goddesses into the story ! I totally see a Greek father god for Yugo and Qilby, Nordic for Chibi Mina and Nora, I'm still not sure for Glip ( maybe an old Mesopotamian god ? ikd… ) I like to think that the great dragon only accepted the Eliatrope Goddess request under certain circumstances ? I'm still not sure if she had to make a deal with him or the gods she chose ? This is still very blurry but I'm working on it!

Here are a few things I'd like to include in the plot :

Qilby still remembers every detail of his past lifes. But he has never learned anything about the origin of his or his siblings' existence and that kind of obsesses him ? Especially when he and Yugo discover that famous information that tell they probably have different fathers (Not by Tot of course but like, in a kind of secret laboratory ? A hidden society in their world perhaps?)

Also, the dragons have to hide from this world, so for the ones who are actually in the story, they have animal forms; (I like to think that Adamai, Efrim and Phaeris had been stolen or lost during a certain event idk what but it would be a kind first plot to reunite them first ?)

I started thinking about their different lifes and I totally see Yugo going to the faculty with Amalia , Eva and Tristepin (What's his name in English already ? ^^) Glip is definitely the director of this academy. Qilby his working as a scientist/historical consultant ? I still don't know about the others but here are very very early drawings of their appearance :

BUT

I also have Qilby appartement in head and it looks like a Museum/Library/garden had mixed together and here is the very first draft I made this morning :

A big room a the top of a building with big ass windows a wall full of books with a mezzanine bed + small balcony.

MY DREAM.

I could speak about LOT of other details but this post would be way too long ! If you have any other specific question my mail box is open~

[wakfu-weekly]

Devblog: Necroworld interview

A devblog was published talking about the newly added Necroworld dungeon to the mmo.

You should read it for yourself if you are curious, but here are the bits I found interesting (and my thoughts on it):

(Text taken from the article colored in purple)

"Why did you specifically choose to create a 3-person dungeon for Toross Mordal?

In the 3-person dungeons, we try as much as possible to go with bosses that have a transmedia presence. Basically, these are bosses that players who've had experience with the Krosmoz universe will be eager to fight. So we want to make them more accessible to players who are playing with one character or one account. (…)”

I didn’t know they had this approach. This explains a lot of the other design choices like it being a single room that just goes straight to the boss and the more straightforward wakfu drain mechanic. Making the mmo more accessible to other Krosmoz fans is often a tricky task, which is especially highlighted here since you have to be at least level 215 to even be allowed inside of the Necroworld. At this level bracket you are already deep into the mmo trenches, which could be why I’ve seen the sentiment of the Toross fight being too easy echoed from some players. This is meant to be a fun, simpler fight that was placed at the highest level bracket of the game where the most dedicated players reside.

Was it hard to maintain story consistency with WAKFU S4 with the addition of the Necroworld?

I wouldn't say it was hard, but it was definitely an important issue as we were developing the quest. We had to implement the player's discovery of the Necroworld in the timeline of WAKFU MMO while also justifying the shared discovery of the Necroworld by all Twelvians in Season 4 of the WAKFU animated series.

I worked with [Sly] and [Siu] to write the quest. The narrative goal was to get the player into the Necroworld while involving as few characters as possible. Ultimately, we had the idea to use a little trick with Otomai and his links to the Eliatropes' story. But I won't reveal any more here, so that people can discover the quest for themselves.

Okay, so there is a quest! I was left under the erroneous impression that there wasn’t (since I’m not the right level yet, I’ve only gotten footage and glimpses from watching another friend play it on release day. They didn’t get a quest related to it. A bug maybe?)

I was particularly wondering about the story here. Hearing that they wrote it with “as few characters as possible” makes sense to avoid the continuity nightmares but also. Uh oh. That sounds… Pretty telling? Alas since I haven’t actually played through the quest, I cannot comment on it.

I’ve been enjoying the quests and story from the newest updates so far, so I’m willing to trust them on this one.

Where'd you get your inspiration for this new boss's equipment?

The first source of inspiration was, of course, Toross and his army, the iconic characters from season 4 of WAKFU. What I like about these new monsters is the striking contrast between their desaturated colors and the pink Stasis, which allows us to establish a strong visual identity for the equipment.

they are right. The greys with the super saturated colors do go pretty hard.

[yourlocaldragonz]

this is just gonna be a huge eva rant btw

I love her character and honestly after getting my hopes up to roof above i honestly have doubts that tot is really going to actually fulfill her character in s4.

In s3 her whole character was just shoved aside fully, and one of the things about that is they're, you know, supposed to save or go get her and flopin or whatever but the thing is that happens 3 episodes before the end of the season, which I understand is because they couldn't get as many episodes as they needed and its sought of a final thing because its set as a goal but its not even when they make it to her back up to her fully because the tower gets wrecked basically putting everyone on an equal level and its not like she really got full on involved in the fight for obvious condition reasons but still she wasn't really given anything much except for the fact that that she's just there.

In a lot of season 4 trailers you won't really get much of her so I'm just hoping it's because they haven't put the good scenes of her in the trailers and not because they're gonna slack off on her character for the 100th time. Not to mention how in one old interview they proceed to say that they want to give the brotherhood more focus and not bring in too many characters to focus toward random characters but then proceed to have already brought in a shit ton already and even more returning back BUT some like qilby, nora, ect. are there as they're important to the lore and I get that and they're there to not leave plot holes and say as much as possible about the lore.

I'm literally just full on hoping that she's actually involved and they'll actually use a fucking ounce of budget on some cool scenes of her and separate some focus from characters that don't need that much of that huge amount focus that they've had plenty of to the point where even tot says they're basically a main character cough* cough* percedal. Plus one thing is it's kinda going to be a struggle for her to actually be involved when her fucking bow is destroyed and how the wakfu ability she has besides arrows for her bow that's broken is vision which I can respectfully say will not be very helpful to when it comes to more serious things, so one thing I would literally get down on all fours praying for is for her to get a bow repair and actually get some actual involvement without an excuse being shoved in the way each time and when i say involvement i mean with the actual backstory and depth that they don't give her. If they can squeeze in a whole ass backstory for a ton of random characters they can and should for a character that's quite literally a main character with potential that needs to be used.

anyways thnx for reading, luv eva and byeee!!! ^_^

plus please don't judge if anythings off it's like the middle of the night im tired and driven off of pure annoyance and no longer hot hot chocolate that got left to cool for too long

Totally Spies Interview - 20 Years Later

Totally Spies remains alive and well-loved thanks to its large fanbase; with a BRAND NEW 7th season coming soon, it's no wonder its currently trending! We got the amazing opportunity to interview voice actors Katie Leigh & Andrea Baker about their roles

Anime-Inspired cartoons Many cartoons of the day were an introduction to the world of anime, even if those series were not considered traditional anime. Wakfu, Martin Mystery, Code Lyoko & Totally Spies were all considered anime-influenced or anime-inspired cartoons, often produced in Italy or France. Some of us fondly remember these cartoons, even when we were unaware of what anime or cosplay…

My first interview!

This year, a lot has been happening “in the background”, now that things are getting published, I can finally talk about it. owo

Method is the last standing, and coincidentally, the best Wakfu fansite. I’ve been following it since the early days, and lately they asked if I can do a little interview. Of course I can. \o/

An Afterword: talking about Welsh and Shedar

While we are done with the movie and the show, it cannot be understated, just how much we still have to cover. Both in terms of canon, and things out of the realm of canon.

And this includes interviews, and things that never got made.

[source]

The thing that often bothers me, is that the creator of the franchise that my most favorite cartoon of all time is a part of, probably despises said cartoon.

I can't not think about that, when I see Simone and other Aux Tresors characters reused in Wakfu season 4 as background character assets, or when I think about how every show except Aux Tresors has had an OST released, or how the only Aux Tresors companion in Waven is Lou. Though I know, logically speaking, that it's more likely because it's just not very popular.

Funnily enough, I personally, and rather selfishly, think that Welsh & Shedar's demise is probably the greatest fortune to happen to this franchise. What was one of the worst things to ever happen to Tot was one of my greatest fortunes. (I would not care about Joris as a character, had Kerubim never existed. The cartoon, and their relationship, mean a lot to me, for personal reasons.)

To Tot, the thing that I love the very most has cannibalized one of his life's dreams. Starting with the resources, and ending with character designs themselves. Even the character design of a fucking cat??

As an artist myself, I can't even begin to imagine the horror of that, and yet... I feel nothing but joy. It's quite weird, how life works.

The good news is that Welsh and Shedar has been resurrected by Ankama (watch as it gets a full artbook and an OST release before Aux Tresors, an 11 year show that still doesn't have those, yes I am bitter), so, it is mostly water under the bridge. We will hopefully get to enjoy both, in a couple of years.

[source]

But I feel like it's very likely, that a lot of Aux Tresors and the way Tot may feel about it, was influenced by this disaster, and I couldn't begin this post without addressing that.

So, what was, or could be in the future, Welsh and Shedar?

A plot summary from the youtube trailer's description, just as filled with Tot's overwhelming sadness as everything else relating to W&S's cancellation, man, goes as follows: "Here is the trailer for an animated series project launched in 2012 which has very little chance of arriving on your screens. The story is that of Welsh, a young boy forced to fight for an inheritance he never knew existed: that of the throne of the Kingdom of Bonta. Ankama’s “animation” department has plenty of ideas behind its graphics tablets: series, special episodes, films, our brains are always buzzing! However, not all projects are lucky enough to reach you…"

So basically, it was/is/will be a story about a young man, or boy, who finds out he is the next in line for Bonta's throne, and is taken there by Joris. How all of this happens is rather murky, AKA:

Anyway,

Tot has reported that his idea for this series was quite similar to the anime "Ranking of Kings", which I had sadly not watched. Make of that what you will.

When does Welsh & Shedar take place?

Firstly, I will say that, because of how much Tot loves this series, for years it was in a state of vague canonicity. AKA "it did likely happen, but it has never been produced so we don't know WHAT it is, that happened there. There sure was a guy named Welsh at some point."

What points to this is 1. Khan's old man design still being canon,

And 2. This usage of Welsh & Shedar-era Joris in an official timeline. It says that Joris would have been 60 years old, in this series.

Obviously, this timeline is subject to change, if/when Welsh & Shedar becomes real, and there are a lot of things we don't know!

Some curiosities...

Funnily enough, there exists this image, which was leaked by a French site when Aux Tresors began airing, — mistakenly used as promo for the series.

It could be depicting some other draft of W&S where Joris is a kid. Or, it could be depicting something between Aux Tresors and W&S, from when Ankama had to make something new up to take W&S's place.

It yet again makes me yearn for an Aux Tresors art book. Because seriously. What does this even mean.

Anyway thank you france for killing W&S, making Aux Tresors (the PEAK.... the SLAY.....) real, and now resurrecting W&S. We truly do live in the kindest timeline 🙏

Points from ToT’s Ankama Pas Live interview

ToT has done an interview about Wakfu Season 4 as part of an Ankama Pas Live update. There was a lot covered, but it’s given me a lot of enthusiasm and confidence that Season 4 is going to happen! Here are the main points:

Season 4

-There are plenty of stories ToT wants to tell in Season 4 - so many, he doesn’t know where to start!

- Season 4 could see more exploration of our heroes’ pasts. ToT would like to explore more of Ruel and his wife, plus Amalia and also Eva (who we know very little about).

- ToT is working on the principle that this will be the last season.

- He wants to focus on the heroes, so the villain will not be as evil or bad as the ones before.

- Season 4 is Season 3 part 2 in his mind

Characters

-For previous seasons, he’s started with the villain, and that’s why people love the villains in the Wakfu series. They are often understandable, even if their acts are evil.

- He finds morally grey characters more exciting. Even someone who is 100% evil can be a good character if you ask yourself ‘when did they get that way? What happened to them?’

- Yugo is also a morally grey character in some ways. What he did to Qilby at the end of season 2 was awful, but you can understand why. “He put him in that prison because it’s easier, morally, than killing him. In reality, it’s worse.”

- The characters are based on real people in his life, which he says gives them more depth and nuance: His son is called Hugo (which definitely isn’t anything like Yugo 😉), Elely is a mix of his daughter Lily and her cousin Elena.

- He put a lot of himself into Nox. Where Nox spent his days obsessing over the Eliacube, Ankama was ToT’s Eliacube.

Kickstarter and Funding

- Netflix not renewing the series and France TV moving it to a less popular channel and then not renewing it hit him hard. 

- So many fans were asking him about Season 4, he eventually thought “why not, we can end on a high note”.

- Support for the Kickstarter will allow Ankama to go to distributors to say “we have all these people who will come to your channel to watch this”

- Ankama are committing to a number of episodes to be funded by them, but the rest depends on us!

- For 10 episodes, the cost is almost €4m, but there is funding available from the French government if you have a French TV distributor. The rest comes from overseas agreements.

- Whatever happens, Ankama will pay for the first three episodes.

- A year ago, ToT didn’t believe in it, but now with the fans behind it, he believes it will happen.

- Reaching the first target tier on Kickstarter (which isn’t that high) will mean they will go ahead and do something!

- No donation amount is insignificant. If you can’t afford much, even a token amount shows your support which they can take to distributors.
