I wanted to share with y'all one fun project I've been working on recently, called The Banner Saga.  The developers at Stoic have crafted a really awesome and unique art style for their game, which had made it an absolute treat to work on.  If you haven't seen the game, check out their website here: [link] ... and also, check out Stoic's panel at Fantastic Arcade here in Austin:  [link] ... There's a number of clips of the in-game animation we've been making, as well as the 2D traditionally animated cutscenes that will appear in the game.

It's always a treat to work on a project where we get to go all out and animate frame-by-frame realistically proportioned characters like this.  Often times when we are working with more "mature" projects, the developers end up going with motion comics to cut development time down.  But we were delighted to hear Stoic wanted to go for full-on traditional animation, and while it's been difficult to pull off, it's very, very worth it for these results.  Again, check it out if you haven't already!

Oo. I remember seeing the Kickstarter for that and thinking that it looked pretty stinkin' awesome. :) It's nice to see a dev that's so concerned with craftsmanship during a time when everyone seems to want to cut corners wherever they can, usually starting with the art budget.

What parts did you get to work on, if you're able to say?

I've mostly been working on cinematics, while only overseeing the game assets to a degree. On the cinematics, though, I've done a little of everything. :)
