@fide I love games! Always played a lot of games, still do, even though I suck at them (I die a lot haha). I love the interaction with another world and getting lost in the story, being able to experience it through playing myself. It gives me joy and relaxation.
As for choosing game animation over animating a (short) film, I like that it’s not static. You make a lots of animations and blend them together to something the player can actually use. I like that you have to think about the player experience, responsiveness and the challenge of making it work for the gameplay. Also, things like combat animation just look wickedly cool 😀
Ever since I joined CG Cookie I can’t seem to shut up about it having a Game Dev section and how cool it would be to make my own game (was driving some people insane with it haha). It was Game Animation that inspired idea for the Cyber Forge game level, but making a game was already part my passion for CG 🙂
