Game animation is design in motion. Another week, another wicked animation. A Dragon fly kick designed to evade and attack in one move. Great combat isn’t just about cool motion, it’s about layered mechanics. #GameDev #Animation #combat

It's been 3 years working on No Rest for the Wicked with Moon Studios. 🌖 With the latest co-op update out and all the great feedback coming from players, it felt like a good moment to share a small reel of the project. Let’s go. Another year, another Wicked Animations ! 😁 #animation #gamedev

Why are so many studios anti remote for roles that do not need to be on site? Offer the option of flexibility it’s so much better for people! The cost of travel, relocation, unnecessary stress, it just does not add up in today’s climate..

When animator @mjednachowski.bsky.social and tech animator Dan O'Reilly were tasked with creating a ferocious creature piece, they could not have been more up for the challenge! When given nothing but a bunch of cubes to work with, they said - "Bring it on!" The results speak for themselves...

This anim I made is another one of those "useless" ones. During that chase in Ori there was nothing in the background, so lightning-fast I made a cheap pass (the one above), we put it in the game and we saw that although it did't add anything at a gameplay level, it does add atmosphere.

Another Past anim from 2009/2010! - There was meant to be a lot more to this which should be apparent in the animatic post (look in replies), but sadly I ran out of time.. I remember finding it really hard to constrain 2 hands to an object! #animation

Another blast from the past - This was my 3rd year character piece 2009/2010. I feel like my quality dipped here, we had a lot more to do in 3rd year! I put more focus on my final major project instead which I will post soon too :) #animation #cg #cganimation

Blast from the past - Another character animation piece from year 2 of university! This was around summer 2009! It's not very clear looking back on it now, but it was meant to be 2 homeless guys talking about selling a "box house" so that that one could go sailing..xD #animation #cg #cganimation
