I was hired to do some 2D animations for NPCs and some props in Ava, a platformer game for neurodivergent youth. https://www.socialciphergame.com/games
I needed to animate the main character entering a 'crafting mode', doing a looping idle animation, and then exiting the mode.
NPC idle states
This is a bounce platform for launching players to new heights!
On the right, Ava's old jump. The team needed a new jump animated that keeps her body more upright. On the left is my new version. Doing this would mean that I needed to build a brand new rig for this character as the original was not available.
[WIP] Sweeping NPC. I really enjoyed how the complicated motion of the broom + arms came together in this animation. Setting up the rig accordingly was key.
An old, rickety robot lurks inside the library for players to meet.
Various cauldron effects to be used during a cooking minigame.
Floating books, and laser barriers.
A few NPCs I created idle animations for.
A closer view of some merchants.
A shiny bit of currency.
