An artist working on a pixel art game in early development with Godot seeks easier methods to implement complex animations, such as combining independent animations like blinking eyes onto a walking sprite. The artist currently uses Aseprite for creating animations and considers separating sprites into sections for more dynamic animation combinations.

Excerpt

<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Hi! I'm working with two friends on a game (really early development), and I'm the main artist. We chose a pixel art style, and I want to know if there is an easier way to implement animations. We're using Godot for programming.</p> <p>What I currently have in mind is basically separating the sprite in sections, to make independent animations on each part so you could maybe mash two different animations together.</p> <p>One example: making a blinking animation for the eyes, and making a walking animation, and somehow mapping the eyes onto the walking sprite. Is it possible to do something like that? I know there's always the option of making the animations directly on the art program (I'm using aseprite btw), but I wanted to maybe try something like I described, which I think will make the animations more interesting.</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> &#32; submitted by &#32; <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/cute_and_horny"> /u/cute_and_horny </a> <br /> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/comments/1updm8q/some_help_on_what_i_can_do_about_my_pixel_art/">[link]</a></span> &#32; <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/comments/1updm8q/some_help_on_what_i_can_do_about_my_pixel_art/">[comments]</a></span>
