Quite honestly if i had too much time on my hands i would learn Decker and make adventure games using nothing but that.

Okay, FINALLY back to this little adventure game i'm working on. I decided to do some rigs for the secondary characters to speed things up. The crazy cat is pretty much ready.
Moho luckily allows for aliased exports so i can integrate them quite seamlessly.

New Moho Script: "Select Animated Layers" makes the whole workflow of animating sub-layers of your rigs far easier and hopefully motivates more people to not just animate bones but points as well.
Give it a whirl, it's really great! mohoscripts.com/script/HS_Se...

I made a little King's Quest VII Fan Animation – a game that made me want to be an animator thinking games would always be hand-drawn... With much appreciation to Roberta Williams, Lorelei Shannon and Marc Hudgins.

Working on some tests to figure out some FBF workflows 2.0 for my traditional animator buddies...
Rulez:
No enclosed shape drawing
No shape re-ordering
Just drawing lines and filling it with color... i think i'm getting closer to two possible solutions... Probably new video.
