Title: Creating a character's animation
Post by: aventurero on Tue 05/01/2010 19:00:19
Hi! I've made 3 games, and the first 2 were with the default roger's view. The third was made by me, but I made frame by frame with paint  ;D. Yes I know, I'm a jackass. I wanted to know if there's a quick way to make several animated characters. Thanks  :)

Use a program that supports layers and draw clothing, hair, face, etc. on separate layers.

Try this:

You draw your limbs in paint and it will animate them for you.

We all win with that program. It seems great, and was exactly what I had in mind (some program that makes everything for you  ;D) I'll try it tomorrow. Thanks a lot!

Yes.
Create a default game, then look at the existing Views and Sprites.
