Hi.

I have a question. I made a big level with pixelart. Some objects in the level I have made animations for. Like trees moving about or some enemies running around.   Is there anyway to animate panning the level without programming the whole thing and capturing it with somethings like fraps?

Is there any program to make animated scenes where you can essentially tell how an object should move about, which animation it should play when and how the camera should pan through the scene?

If not. Is there at least a program where I can easily pann through a large gif scene, with objects that are not moving but animating and the camera moves along from left to right to show the level?

The only thing I have found is in photoshop to pann a large image, but static.

Very thankful for advice!

Hi!

I made a portrait of a friend but it looks really off...

I would like to get help to point out where I can change things.
Is it too many colours? are proportions wrong?

Im sorry,, in which program is that?
Could you explain a bit further?

Thank you in advance!

Hi guys.

I saw this clip - the work through of making a  pixel-art monk jump attack. It looks very nice.

In this animation the monk jumps across the screen. It presents itself very well, but is this a common way to make pixel-art for games?
The animation do serve a purpose of moving the object itself though, it would not make much sense doing the animation moving the object in another way than moving forward.
However in my experience, when using a tool like game maker, i program the sprite itself to move, and a certain  animation is played when the object is moving a certain way or doing a specific action.

I have seen many animations made this way though, "where the whole sprite moves across the scene", including from spriters for famous games such as shovel knight.

So is this a common way to make pixel art animations for games? Or is it mostly for show? Would you implement an animation like this directly into a game, or would you first have to redo it so that the sprite is somewhat static in his movement, i.e. changing his animation but not moving across the screen?

Thank you so much! for your help and advice!
