Art and Animation

zNiiC

I will be getting back into making my game (I have finals this week) and I am wondering how you guys make animations for a game. I need help making top down animations as well. Thanks!

i am wondering that too. Is is like .gif, or is it .avi and .mpeg?

Gamesalad doesn't support video, so it would have to be exported as a series of picture which are then animated in gs.

My wife is an assemblagist (artist) so my graphics are free.

That what animation is a series of still images. Get the free software pencil to do onion screen animation.
