@cgmation Looks sick! Great stuff. These shots got me more stoked than anything else in the trailer (besides the chicken kick)

God of War Ragnarök

[Darren Bartley @fightpunch]

Gave myself 2 weeks to mess around with this new world / idea. Was a lot of fun!

[Jack Ebensteiner @AnimJack]

@Art_of_Oakley @dlongfish Dude we have to team up on some realistic Pokémon sometime. Those are so dope. I would love to animate one of those guys.

Can we bring back deep cherry red/maroon technology?

Thank you for making me love games even more and here's to the next 5 years being even better.
Now enjoy this goofy picture 🤣 what was 2018 Rajul thinking 🙄

@Redruck @SonnyBurge @JackTondeur @ElliotMaren Hell yeah! Prime example of using unrelated reference while maintaining personality. And props for making the tentacles look so natural while not colliding or getting in their own way.

@AnimationMerc buffer wastes time and dilutes the message. All about balance. And maybe balance looks like 80-20. It also depends on the individual.

[Jack Ebensteiner @AnimJack]

@AnimationMerc Imo any instance of feedback needs to be considered in the broader context. Direct feedback is fantastic, but if the ongoing trend is only ever hearing about changes w/ no positive notes or callouts to what is working, then it can be an issue. And the opposite, too much constant-

@Teanah Congratulations!!

@richard_oud Between this and not knowing when it’s safe to delete a shelf, some p4 mysteries will never be solved

[Jack Ebensteiner @AnimJack]

I've used P4 for over a decade and this still feels like a coin flip every time
