Let's study video game animation.

Why do 8-bit video games have so few frames?
Why do 2D fighting games use smears so much?
Why do some enemies have the exact same animation?
How can characters do more than one animation at once?
How to make your game animation look better?
How explosions are animated?

We're never done learning!

VGAS is run by Dan Root, a 2D animator, animation lecturer and game developer.
