08.08.2025 12:18 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I love this detail in the new #Shinobi game by @lizardcube.bsky.social that if you're close enough to an obstacle while rolling, you'll transition to a unique 'roll over obstacle' animation.

02.08.2025 07:27 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0It should probably be around that anyway for AAA games seeing how many people work on them and for how long. I think it's just because it feels like it's happening quite quickly.

Quick, rough movement study animation ~25 minutes

14.07.2025 10:10 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Well I went and made another video on game animation. This time it's Capcom Fighting Collection 2

I'm at Develop: Brighton!
Anyone here this week?
I wanna meet and talk game animation!
Ah how I enjoy the start of the video editing process.
I found this quite funny as I was just sorting everything out to begin the big edit.
Clicking to get the sound in sync, but funny that I just 'appear' as though summoning myself into existance.
I love video game animation.
Here's an example of when you have to be clever and effective with your resources in reusing animations in different places.
This is RoboCop: Rogue City. Many NPCs have this same "clip board writing" animation in various ways.
Oh man that looks great! Nice one!

Works pretty well, I'd say!
Bomb Chicken has some of the best animated explosions

13.06.2025 05:39 — 👍 3 🔁 1 💬 0 📌 0The Shepherdess and the Chimney Sweep (aka The King and the Mockingbird) is a French animated film based on a Hans Christian Andersen tale. A huge influence on Miyazaki and Takahata at Studio Ghibli, it’s technically unfinished but widely considered a masterpiece. GIFs: Animation Obsessive
