Hi Steemians!
Today I’d like to show you a small project I’m developing during weekends, it still doesn’t have a name, so if you want to contribute… you’re warmly welcome!
In the previous post I posted a small work about pixel art. This time I would love to show you how art comes to life in video games 😊
One of the thing I love about game development is animating things. In 2-dimensional games, developers create a particular image called spritesheet.
So, let’s suppose we would like to animate this little zombie here:
Its spritesheet will be something like this:
Then, the developer plugs it into its code and something magic happens:
The program basically shows all the images rapidly, one after the other. That’s how games are made.
If you’ve ever played Age of Empires, know you know that every character is made using this technique:

This last one is from Feudal Wars:
In the next post I’ll show another character, and maybe a special content if I have time 😊
