Interviewing About My Animations

Q1 - What do you think of my walk cycle?

• I think its really smooth and i wouldn't change anything

• I think the walk could be more varied, maybe he can fall sometimes or trip over?

• really boring but it works 

Q2 - What do you think of my idle animation?

• When he goes up the belt changes colour which is really distracting

• I don't know what else could be done, maybe add a yoyo couple of frames for comedic effect?

• nothing happens, i would make him look around like you did for your other game 

Q3 - What do you think of my monster walk animation?

• good, I really like his foot rubbing the floor, its really creepy

• I don't like that it's nearly a full copy of the normal character but it looks relatively good anyways.

• its just the same as the normal character walking

Q4 - If you can think of a way to make the monster scarier, what is it?

• Id just make it roar or maybe throw up when it walks, that way it looks sick so it might infect the main character which would be good for the story

• Maybe add a full trail behind the shattered foot? That way you can see the monster actually change the surroundings

• i would make a new monster that's less like the player so it stands out

Q5 - Do you think the monster death is scary enough?

• I think the monster death is a bit over the top but I still like it because it made me laugh

• If you want your game to be a real horror, I would remove the death animation and remake it, it's too comedic to be in a real horror game and ruins the atmosphere.

• its actually perfect since its gory and makes sure the player knows the monster is dead

Conclusion -

Unfortunately, I don't really have the time to change anything anymore due to being slightly behind in my production. This means that despite having some really good feedback, I can't really implement any of the changes people suggest without sacrificing other parts of the project. Instead, I can use this feedback in future projects to ensure I don't make the same mistakes or can continue doing what people think is good.

Without this feedback, it's likely I would be repeating the same mistakes or missing out good parts of my animations in future projects.
