I think they literally just draw it

I know, but how do theirs move like actual hand drawn animation when drawn images are usually Flash animated.

The fuck are you talking about?

That whole thing is nothing but a specific kind of art style. It's like asking "but how is pixel art possible since animation is usually done in flash?"

If that's an actual ingame screenshot, then clearly they add a bunch of post processing effects to make it look more authentic. Take away all the blur and chromatic aberration and noise and textures and it looks like digital flash drawings again.

Compare the frame by frame animation of Cuphead to the Flash animation of games like Shantae 1/2 Genie Hero and Guatamelee. Does Cuphead use a sprite sheet or a similar method to Flash?

Cuphead is drawn frame by frame, typical flash-like games use tweening to rotate and stretch and bend things to create smooth animation that's independent of framerate.

nigga

i think you need to look into animation in general first

>but how do theirs move like actual hand drawn animation

because it's actual, legit, drawn like the 1920's, inked like the 1920's, painted like the 1920's animation, that they then scanned.

But how do they program they scans into the game?

Same way as any game with 2d graphics? This is no different than, say, Earthworm Jim, except at a high enough res and with enough colours on screen it doesn't have to use pixel art.
