Also, why does the explorer even need a hoverchair in a setting where she could probably procure a pair of cybernetic legs with relative ease, outside of wanting a token disabled character? Can you share some background behind this design decision? Lanky bookworm guy looks pretty good, but that build makes him look more like a sprinter than a librarian. Good job on axe variety. Strange that you would post this here but not also the Starbound thread, though. You know we love seeing progress at work

These are really cool, I especially love that marine's walk cycle! You know, if you are looking for a project after Interstellaria finishes, you could do a Space Crusade revival. Just change the intellectual property into something original and you won't face GW's litigious side. The base concept behind Space Crusade was really fun and there hasn't been much in games like that for a long time!

Not done much beyond the usual plodding away: Updated archer animation; hopefully less weird/stiff looking:  Unsure of how to make the bow look less awkward when it's being moved. Tried revising some of my character designs for the dude's below because i felt they sucked and looked generic. Differentiated the size, clothing, etc.  Sorry if it's not much progress, been mainly agonising over how to make the units look different.

There's no arrow, either. He's just moving his hand from the quiver to the bow string and dry firing.

Aneurexorcyst posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XY5KTVA_2ys Really digging the last one, it's really readable for only four colours! It usually takes me days before i get something that i'd even consider submitting/putting up so i usually avoid the dailies. How long does it usually take for you to make/finish one of these? Do you find it helps, I imagine it's sort of like a practice? So here's some casting animations. I'm not sure if i will make mage casting animations unique from these ones, but my main goal is to make different animations for casting, depending on the faction to give them a bit more variety and make them looks less stock. As of yet, i haven't done the fourth/orange one and i am unsure of how i will differentiate that one from the others, but these are currently still rough ideas, which will be polished later on or changed depending on critique.    Any critique on them would be fantastic. I'm aware they're quite static at the moment and they may finish too quickly (I wanted to get the main frames and concept down first), unsure of how to move them without making them look like they're moving physically out of the spot they're standing. I'll give some insight into what im aiming for/want below: Blue: I wanted to go with a "God's giving energy/power from a lightning bolt" he-man sort of thing but it ended up just being easier to make it a straight beam. I'm considering changing it to make it a bigger beam that totally covers the caster, or possibly even a hand reaching down, sort of like a direct intervention by the gods. Purple: I really wanted to make it look like the caster is being surrounded by energy, but channeling it through the staff hence why he raises it. Was wanting to differentiate it from the blue one, as the concept is similar. Tried to go for a circle aura-like thing that surrounds him when casting, but the perspective doesn't allow for it, so the best i could do is at least indicate some sort of energy around him. Probably needs more movement beyond just lifting the staff, I tried making him lift it horizontally, so the staff goes sideways but it just didn't look as good or have the same impact as this version, to me at least. Green: Tried going with a druid/shamanist thing, with plants growing as he casts, they probably decay/disappear too fast, so will have to delay that most likely. I'll most likely add more stuff growing and vary what grows. I kind of want to show that he's growing these plants and then using their energy for a spell, if that makes any sense?

They don't move their lower bodies at all during the cast which makes them look statuesque. I could see the priest crouching slightly to gather his strength to thrust the cross upward, or the bottom two leaning back to "wind up the pitch" before throwing the charged energy.

Chipp Zanuff posted:-Animations- I know they're a bit bigger than what you're used to working on, but I strongly urge you to check out the SNES/GBA Fire Emblem games for turn-based attacking animations. ALL of the combat animation in that game, especially the magic casting ones, are absolutely wonderful and should be a benchmark for turn-based games. The critical animations especially. They're fluid, they're flashy, they've got incredible windup, and most importantly they all feel beautifully meaty. If you were to incorporate even a third of what they bring to the table you'd be really, really well off. Check 'em out.

I think they're pretty good--your palette is vibrant and your special effects flow really well. I've followed your progress and it's definitely been an inspiration. Some critiques (pardon the MSpaintery): This may just be a style thing, but the proportions of the limbs seem a bit off. They look like dwarves with long arms/humans with short legs, or bald gorillas:  They looked less 'off' when I shortened the arms and elongated the legs by a pixel:  Also, the animations of the red and green guys' left arms remind me of  This is where anatomical study or even just using some reference images will be a big help, especially when it comes to your characters' poses. As you said, they're pretty static at the moment. When you're moving them, consider the natural movements of the body, especially the torque of the torso and how the shoulders and hips change position based on movement--and then consider how this move the clothes they're wearing. I GIS'd some images of shoulder raising--a boxer who won a fight, a figurine of a viking raising his spear, and for that dynamic energy, Freddy Mercury raising his mic--and made a quick and dirty example in MSpaint. I'm definitely an amateur, but here's an example of what I mean.

One thing I noticed which doesn't have to do anything with the animation (sorry!  ) is about the feet of your figures: Since they're standing on top of the ground line with their own outline and they're all moon boots sized, it can look like a bunch of floating curling stones. I have no idea what the environment will eventually look like and how you're going to place them in it, but for a 2D sideview it doesn't work well.

I wasn't sure how to make the transition movement of the arms from falling by the side to going up look smooth unfortunately, didn't realise they looked bit like uh, that.  wayfinder posted:One thing I noticed which doesn't have to do anything with the animation (sorry!

Hey, I'm working on a sprite for a platformer, first time in this thread. It's essentially supposed to be an edgy, 90s style edutainment character, similar to Bubsy. Here's some of the works in progress, let me know what you think works from the restyles I've been working on.    and the most recent variation,  Any constructive criticism would be helpful. Sometimes I get so into details I forget what I'm looking at.
