Another animation has taken form as we get a little more familiar with the new animation tools. We may revisit this scene and bring the background to life a little, but we are pretty happy with the rigging system now. It is relatively efficient to get a character rigged and animated now.

SunDagger Takes Shape
Having a goal of resurrecting a nearly dead game genre is no small feat. When thinking back to classics like Starflight and Star Control it is easy to remember how much we loved the games. It isn’t quite so easy to quantify exactly what made them cult classics. Was it the story, was it the […]
