Had another question about how we animate our character! It's done procedurally and makes it more dynamic/time saving than animating each frame. #indiedev #indiegame #indiegamedev

How we made our character sprite with 2D procedural animation for some dynamic movement. Thinking of doing a slightly more in-depth post/video for this 🤔 (maybe more dev posts while we work on Rusted Moss' major content update) #indiedev #indiegame

Our character movement (and the grass) is animated with code to avoid painstaking hand animation. Heard there were some comments during bitsummit about our procedural animation so just posting this gif again to show how it was done ^___^ #gamemaker #indiedev #indiedeveloper

Most of our dev's (faxdoc) projects aren't made with a game in mind. They're made to learn for learning's sake. Though we've been working on our game for 1 year now, it ignores the years of experience gained from small projects like this. #indiedev #indiegame #indiegamedeveloper
