A game developer working on a 2D zombie open-world video game using Godot is seeking software recommendations for animating sprites more efficiently due to current frustrations with the animation process. The developer aims to create smooth animations for various movements like walking and shooting within an expansive, interactive environment. Currently, the developer uses Godot but encounters problems that make the development process frustratingly slow.

software recommendations for game animation

Excerpt

<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Hello everybody!<br /> So I’ve been working for about 2 weeks now on an 2d zombie open world video game, think open world of games like golden sun the level selection part of OG super Mario with expanded areas that the player can enter to loot for supplies, farm, fight off raids and bandits, trade with settlers, etc, like so much stuff! I’m currently using godot for development and working frustratingly with programs to develop the animations for walking and shooting and such I’m just running into annoying problems. I was wondering does anyone have a good software:website they can recommend for animating a sprite for various movements? Any help is appreciated!</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> &#32; submitted by &#32; <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Pigknuckle609"> /u/Pigknuckle609 </a> <br /> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/comments/1uoez5l/software_recommendations/">[link]</a></span> &#32; <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/comments/1uoez5l/software_recommendations/">[comments]</a></span>
