Why your Game Animation Services isn't working
Stiff, floaty characters
Animations that look fine alone but feel wrong with controls and timing.
Effects that don't land
Hits, skills and rewards without the impact frames and VFX that sell them.
Heavy files
Sprite sheets too big for mobile memory and load times.
Animators who don't know engines
Beautiful files that need days of rework before they work in Unity or Unreal.

Questions
Straight answers
What does a game animation studio do?
It creates the motion in a game: character move sets, creature and boss animation, UI motion, visual effects and cutscenes, delivered in formats the game engine can use.
Do you work with Unity and Unreal?
Yes. We deliver Spine rigs, sprite sheets and PNG sequences set up for Unity, Unreal and other engines, with consistent naming, pivots and loops.
Can you match our existing art style?
Yes. We study your style guide and existing assets, then animate a test piece for approval before full production.
Can you animate for live-service games?
Yes. We can provide ongoing capacity for new characters, skins, events and seasonal content.
Spine or frame-by-frame?
Spine (skeletal) animation is efficient and reusable, ideal for many characters and mobile. Frame-by-frame gives a hand-drawn feel and suits effects and expressive moments. Many games use both.
