NEW VIDEO: "ARCS - The 12 Principles of Animation in Games"

The video is complete and released today! I hope you enjoy!

https://youtu.be/lOzgxMgAnxQ

For a relatively short episode, this one actually proved quite challenging. I'm always very particular with these 12 Principles videos because I want them to be a good teaching resource, and Arcs can be a tricky principl...

EARLY ACCESS: "ARCS: The 12 Principles of Animation in Games

Barring any last minute fixes or additions, the next episode is complete! It'll go live once I've run it past a few peers for additional notes and gotten captions ready (probably tomorrow?).

I hope you enjoy!

That vote was way closer than I expected! But with the tiniest of leads, the winning topic is:


And, given how close the race was, I think it only makes sense for the runner-up to follow immediately after. So I guess we have our next two episodes picked!

POLL: What should the next episode be?

Help me choose the next video topic! I have several ideas in mind, but I leave the choice of which comes first to you. 

Your choices are:


The Animation of Final Fantasy VI

We're finally reaching the juiciest part of this retrospective series: one o...

NEW VIDEO: "The Best Game Animation of 2023" (and also updates)!

It took much longer than I hoped, but I've finally finished the annual roundup of great game animation for 2023 and I'm quite proud of it. I hope you enjoy, and maybe also learn about a neat game or two that escaped your notice last year!

But hey, while we're here, it's been a while since I gave a general update on things! Let's see...

EARLY ACCESS: "The Best Game Animation of 2023"

The thumbnail redesign is still very WIP and it still needs subtitles, but the 2023 roundup video is finally done and should release tomorrow!

Apologies for the longer-than-usual wait on this one. It's been a pretty chaotic time for anyone working in games right now, but I'm very proud of how this year's video turned out and I hope you enjoy!


Thanks as always to all of yo...

Q&A stream tomorrow!

It's almost time for our monthly hangout! Actually, it's well past time. I've had a hectic month, and I kept having to push the Q&A to next Sunday until - oops! - suddenly our November Q&A is happening in December. We'll just have to do two this month, I suppose!

NEW VIDEO: "The Animation of Final Fantasy V"

Finally done! The footage capture and sprite work for this particular episode took a good deal longer than usual (this game has so many sprites), but I think it's turned out quite well. I'm already excited to start tackling Final Fantasy VI, and even more excited to finally get to the 3D era afterward.

But first I've got a 2023 animation roundup video to start p...

EARLY ACCESS: "The Animation of Final Fantasy V"

I still might do some audio tweaks (and it still needs captions of course), but it's otherwise done I think!

Sorry for the lengthier wait on this one; footage capture and sprite work ended up being a doozy of a task this time around. 

Enjoy!

NEW VIDEO: "Link has more animations than you think"

The new video is live if you've not yet seen it!

I've spent a lot of time over the past months brainstorming ways to produce  videos more frequently, and this was my first attempt at actually putting some of those ideas into action. Overall, I think it was a mixed success.


What Went Right

**EARLY ACCESS** Link has more animations than you think

What's this? Two videos in less than a month? On New Frame Plus? That doesn't sound right.

It still needs subtitles (and a less garbage thumbnail) before going live, but the video itself should be done.

Enjoy!

If you didn't already see it, the new episode is out! I am quite proud of it and hope you enjoy.


Coming Up Next

The moving process slowed me down a bit over the first half of this year, but now I'm finally feeling like I've got momentum back. In fact, the next episode is already well underway.

In an effort to increase video release frequency, I've c...

It's about done, I think! I expect it'll go live in the next few days once I've got captions added, but I very much hope you enjoy this preview in the meantime.
