The character animation workflow for Awesomenauts

This is indeed a big and interesting topic, so today, I would like to discuss that in more detail! I have previously shown how we make characters aim in all directions and shoot in all directions, but that did not explain the workflow and tools that our artists use to actually make those animations and put them in the game.

The Parallax Scrolling Effect: 40 Examples and Tutorials. In this round up, we have some fantastic examples and uses of the parallax effect for you.

We no longer need to use Flash to do cool effects and, with the advent of the HTML5 Canvas element, creating snazzy looking web games and dynamic graphics is easier than ever before. One game, or game engine, I wanted to implement for some time was a psuedo-3D engine such as the one used in the old Wolfenstein 3D game by iD Software. 50 Great Parallax Scrolling Examples, Plugins and Tutorials in Web Design.

The Aesthetics of Game Art and Game Design. This section explores game design from a gameplay perspective, in the sense of games as systems of rules.

The Aesthetics of Game Art and Game Design

Gameplay also has aesthetic qualities if we conceptualize games as shapes. Key to this conceptual view is the understanding that games are vehicles for activating stories. Even traditional games like chess give players a purpose to act upon, and construct their personal narrative within the play area. Today's video games are capable of activating stories with infinitely more complex narrative structures, on account of the medium's dynamic and interactive properties.

We've seen through the above example of dynamic composition that classical art, and video game art is linked by a common visual grammar. The above illustration features three games -- piñata, hide and seek, and baseball. Piñata plants a single person in the middle of a circle defined by friends, family, and acquaintances.

16 Infographic Resumes, A Visual Trend

A number of designers have attempted to design a visual, infographic resume, and while this is certainly not mainstream (yet), it is gaining some momentum. I wanted to highlight some of the great examples available on the web, but the line between an infographic resume and a designer resume is tough not to cross. I’ve tried to stay true to only infographic versions here, and didn’t include many good illustrated resumes that didn’t include any visualizations.

Michael Anderson’s 2008 concept on an infographic resume (above) is probably the most well known. Video Library. Aiguillon - Awesomenauts Wiki.
