How to draw animation for games?

Question

Mobile development

There is an idea for a game, an artist and a programmer who only worked with the web.
How to draw in photochope or illustrator?
Preferably from Adobe

Answer 1

In 3D editors, if the toy is 3D. Even flat animations, if they are part of the gameplay.
In a two-dimensional toy, animations can be implemented by the developer, in which case the designer's task is to explain how the elements interact. To do this, he can use any means of animation that are convenient for him.
The question is very general, a specific development solution cannot be suggested, there are a lot of options. But not photo s ho p or illustrator. In Photoshop, of course, there are means for implementing animations, but they are very clumsy and what do you get at the output? It seems only GIF, maybe there is some kind of MOV export. In the chandelier, I'm not sure if there are animation tools at all (have they already appeared?). Adobe's animation tool is After Effects, but it's a very cumbersome tool.
I recommend not to immerse yourself in game dev without a team leader and developers who are competent in this topic. Expensive entertainment :)
In general, take an experienced person to the team, or go to an experienced team to gain experience :) I do completely different things and for one single order I chose the first option. And if this is the dream of a lifetime, then you should definitely go the second way.

Answer 2

The question is very general. In fact, it all depends on two important inputs, what kind of engine will be used and what is the graphical style of the game.
It is important to understand that in any case, animation can be of different types:
In any case, animation is not a simple discipline, animators are specially trained people who not only know how everything moves in the world and how to reproduce it, but also have the appropriate technical skills.
Before you take on the graphics, build a prototype of the game, I don't know, even on a flash, or in a blender, or in any engine for beginners. You don't need graphics or animation until your prototype is playable and interesting. At the stage of "we-have-never-made-games-but-really-want" all these questions about animation, it's too early for them. Read and look at game design first.

Answer 3

in illustrator it is harder to draw a complex drawing, but the vector does not depend on resolution. But it will need to be overtaken to a raster, during loading, before being used, otherwise the performance will rush to zero, but photoshop is the opposite of everything
