Animation | Notion

Animating is one of the new technical skills I had to learn in a short period of time. I wasn’t experienced with it and needed to watch several tutorials before I was confident in giving it a go. I kept my animations simple due to time constraints and being commitments to other tasks.

I wanted the animations to fit in with the cuteness of the tiger visuals, so I looked at multiple references of characters with similar stubby body structures to get a better understanding of how they would move.

Overall I am happy with how the animations turned out. I think they give the tiger a fun, light-hearted personality and allow the players to feel more engaged with their pet. They have received a lot of positive reactions, as seen in playtesting v5 and playtesting v7.
