  10. I’ve been asked how we’re doing the “animation” for Flight Rising’s baddies. These guys are not a true frame-by-frame animation.They’re generally made up of a single illustration that is cut, rotated, stretched, or squished.

    These are the sprite sheets look like before they’re plugged into the coliseum engine. Once they’re in the engine the sheets tick off at a pre-established rate and the enemies gain further liveliness as they jump forward and pounce for attacks, rock back and flash when hit, or fade out into a cloud of swirling smoke as they are vanquished.
