Time to make some pins that aren’t enamel! :D

These are just basic introductions to different materials…there’s so much to each of these they really need their own guide OTL

These features will always, always immediately make your game better by a factor of at least three. Put them in if you want to experience transcendent exponentiation of your title. Leave them out if you’re a coward or a fool. 

Anyway the best things to always put in your game, without fail are:

-A train level (moving or Agatha Christie detective style)

-A party/ball/convention level

-Examine button and flavor text for every single thing in your game

-Cooking mini-game or quest (bonus points for faction that lets you work as a delivery boy/short-order cook

-Secret shop/merchant that sells the best items and has a distinct personality. Shop does not have to be secret per-say, just unique in its distinctiveness.

it wasn’t your fault.

1. Ah Fai was a chief animator for McDull’s animated features. He’s super cool. Ultimate senpai. 

2. Previous post on breakdowns right here 

Some thoughts on acceleration and force

I presented this in the order of how I slowly understood the trick of delivering force - first an abstract concept of impact taught by Ah Fai, then a more complicated discovery on the acceleration pattern, last back to a more abstract concept of breakdowns. 

Like I’ve previously stressed, 2D animation is everything but one single approach. There’s no one rule that rules them all, but interchangeable ideas with math, or physics, or music, etc. There’s no “perfect” animation either, but what is perceived as organic and dynamic. E.g., using the Fibonacci numbers to animate didn’t bring me a perfect animation! On the other hand, a tiny change in the pattern could already make the feeling of force so much more powerful.
