2023-05-19 18:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostHello! I've got an idea I'm curious to try out.
So the current video-in-progress, The Animation of Sonic Frontiers, is proceeding apace (that 4-day workweek is doing wonders), but I also want to start exploring some smaller and/or alternative video format ideas to see how they're received. One of those potential format ideas is to make shorter videos answering folks' questi...

2023-03-26 17:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostI hope you're having a lovely March! There have been some exciting developments around here, so let me catch you up:
We moved to Canada (again).
The reason things have been so quiet around here lately is that I've been juggling an international move for work. We're thrilled at the chance to reside in Canada again, but - as I'm sure some of you know all to...
2023-03-25 02:25:50 +0000 UTC View PostHey there! I hope you're having a lovely February.
Mine's been a little chaotic, largely because we're preparing for an international move. As I'm sure some of you are painfully aware, immigrating across a border tends to make moving house 10x more complicated and time-consuming, so I'll be happy if I have everything up and running in our new apartment this time next month.
All that...

I have looked at so many games.
This is easily the longest end-of-year roundup video I've made to date. That's partly due to there simply being a lot of games worth including, but it's also because I wanted to give these games some extra time in the spotlight. I wasn't able to release a lot of NFP videos this year (for a number of reasons), and I figure I can use this an...

Got it done! Still needs captions and whatnot, but I'm otherwise 99% sure this video is ready to ship (it will likely go live within the next couple days).

**Update: this video is now released!**
Still needs a better thumbnail (all of them do, frankly), but I'm 99% sure the video itself is finally ready. I'll write up a more detailed update post once the video has captions and goes live (probably in a few days), but I hope you enjoy the preview in the meantime!
Thank you all for your patience and support. <3

Next NFP episode: The Animation of Final Fantasy IV
This episode is coming together and is (I think) one of my best yet! It's taken longer than I hoped, but for a few good reasons.
The first reason is I've been trying to take sl...

Fair warning, this particular vod may be a lot less watchable than the rest. We experimented with our Q&A format a bit and I'm not sure the experiments were successful. :P

Making these Final Fantasy videos has required a surprising amount of sprite work! Though there are an abundance of fan-made sprite sheets for these games already available on the internet, I found those sheets often contained inconsistencies. Different approaches to outlining, inconsistent color palettes, sometimes even outright inaccurate (or completely missing) poses.
So I've spent qui...

Done at last! This one took a bit to pull together (especially with all the custom sprite art work I ended up needing to do), but this will finally conclude the 8-bit era of Final Fantasy's animation. I am already very, very excited to get started on the next one, because the 16-bit era is when things start to really get interesting. :D
I hope you enjoy! The episode will go live ...

What can I say, there were too many 2021 games with good animation.
This one will go live once I can get captions put together (probably in a day or two). I hope you enjoy, and maybe even discover a neat game you hadn't yet heard of!
