Chris Goodall @cgmation.net · 16/07/2026This is especially true in games where there's an extra layer of complexity. Working with performers that understand this process helps massively to achieve best results overall. 030
Chris Goodall @cgmation.net · 16/07/2026I've had the good fortune of working with some incredible performers over the years, and this rings true. As great as the performances are, there's always something that needs to be done to make it "right". 140

Chris Goodall @cgmation.net · 07/06/2026Looks great, I can really see your influence in the animation style! 120

Chris Goodall @cgmation.net · 18/09/2024Most of us will never finish our Steam backlogs, let alone spend any time on "generated" content. 040
Chris Goodall @cgmation.net · 18/09/2024I can share animation again! Here's an old one from Hellblade 29818
Chris Goodall @cgmation.net · 02/09/2023I know right? As an animator I'm literally powerless without them. 010
Chris Goodall @cgmation.net · 11/07/2023I appreciate that nobody is arguing about industry standard software over here. 040
Chris Goodall @cgmation.net · 09/07/2023It's hard to argue with that (at least from my perspective). I'd also be interested in the Why Nots? All I could think of is pursuit of mastery/specialisation in particular disciplines that I think only AAA allows. 100
Chris Goodall @cgmation.net · 09/07/2023Each of those seems to be a AAA tax. In keeping the team small, you have to unsubscribe from the bigger/better/more creep of subsequent games in order to avoid ending up back in the same situation. This conflicts with the endless growth model companies are a part of. 010
Chris Goodall @cgmation.net · 09/07/2023I agree, there is some magic to it that's hard to get across unless you've experienced it first hand. It also comes with other benefits: - smaller scope relative to team - things move faster - more autonomy - more individual accountability - quicker dev cycle 100
Chris Goodall @cgmation.net · 09/07/2023A common career path for game developers seems to be: - climb the ladder at multiple AAA studios - quit to start an indie studio - if successful, manage an indie/AAA studio - quit to start an indie studio... What drives this? Interested in any thoughts/pov's from those going through it. 390
