Meet The Crew! Kenny Talks Animation Programs and Style.

Hey everyone! For today’s MTC we’ll be sharing two short questions with Kenny. Here we go! What programs do you use?      I prefer Flash’s library system to anything else I’ve tried. Makes swapping out symbols super easy. Really, it’s just a super quick program and gives some instant results. For something like this, I don’t really need much more. Now I’m learning how to work a bit in Unity, which is pretty scary haha. Kami Kami is heavily inspired by Japanese ink paintings and focuses on origami transformations as a primary game mechanic. In what ways has Kami … Continue reading Meet The Crew! Kenny Talks Animation Programs and Style.

What’s up everyone? We’ve got all sorts of stuff going on at Robotic Potato lately, including some major updates that are underway (like this site, for example).
