!PLEASE WATCH THIS ON A FAST DEVICE! If you have a slow frame rate, then certain parts of the animation will get ahead of others. This project should be able to run well on any device, however, there are some devices that when in powersaver mode, will slow down the frame rate. To get around this, plug the device in to charge and turn off powersaver mode. This is one of my first animations, and I am pretty happy with it. Yes, there are a number of bugs and the whole thing doesn't look that good, but I am just starting. In future animations, I will try and make higher quality art, and get a better music selection. Anyway, I hope you enjoy! ___________________________________________ Q&A: WHAT HAPPENED AT THE END? Croman had killed the defender, but he didn't pay enough attention to his surroundings as he gloated over his victory. There was another defender nearby whom the first defender had called on his radio, and that second defender shot Croman. WHY IS CROMAN A DRONE? I needed a shot where a person walks out of the spaceship in the first scene. However, (if you have watched the animation) you can see that I am bad at walk cycles. So, to make it look as good as possible, I had a drone come out, and then the drone turns into Croman. I liked it a lot, and decided to use it in the other parts of the animation. By the way, the first scene was inspired by the movie "Dune", where the tribe lands on the new planet. WHY IS @huntedskelly IN THE CREDITS? Huntedskelly's "Unfamous" episodes have been an inspiration to me to make this animation. If it wasn't for "Void" in his animations, I wouldn't have "Croman". And in one of his "Immersion" platformers, there is a scene where a spaceship comes out, and shoots down another one. This inspired me to make the big circular spaceship that is flying around.
HEADPHONES RECOMENDED CREDITS: https://mixkit.co/ - for most of the free music and sound effects @huntedskelly - for the inspiration of some of the scenes @Robot732 - for all of the story @Robot732 - for all of the art @Robot732 - for all of the voice acting and choke sound effect ___________________________________________ WHAT I HAVE LEARNED FROM MAKING THIS: - Because the voice acting is done all by me, (with not the best voice changing software) a number of the talking segments sound like the speaker is not actually in the scene. This is a big problem in a large number of animations I have seen, and in the future, I plan to get more people involved in voice acting. - Animating a single scene takes a long time, even several days, and it's really hard to make it good quality. Doing more practice animations that are shorter, and learning more about art will help speed up the process, and make the end result better. - Audio is so hard to get right. For me, I didn't want to spend any money on SFX and music. So I found a free online website called mixkit.co. It was hard to find exactly what I wanted, so I made do with what I could find. In the future, it might be better to get music editing software, to tweak the music tracks and sound effects to make them more like what I want. ___________________________________________ WORK TIMELINE: March 14, 2023: - Shortened the wait time from 2 minutes and 41 seconds to 33 seconds.
