Some design/animation work I did for Forest Below, a cute and challenging puzzle game where you control tree roots to grow the biggest, healthiest tree possible. For such an adorable game I got to experiment with some very nasty enemy concepts. It was great.

Aaaand the enemy animations for Wizards. They also like to bounce.

All character animations for Note Runners. The Runner’s job is to keep running, no matter what, while Buddy is the physical representation of the player voice that makes platforms solid and keeps Runner from careening into a pit. Sharp and Flat simply indicate the qualities of certain notes.

All player animations for Wizards. They like to bounce.

The wee baby found at the end of each level. I wanted to do something a little more complex with it, but a semester is a very short span of time to build a game.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Made some gifs of the raw animation of my last project. (Given how much tumblr dislikes gifs it may take a moment to load properly.)

...Even if I’m exhausted beyond belief.

A tiny eldritch child walks through a spooky forest. After a lot of importing, exporting, and general confusion, finally got this done. This animation was put together using a combination of Flash, Photoshop, and After Effects. (I never want to use that many programs on a single project ever again.)
