Episode 2 Animated Preview - On the Road (Patreon)

The squad is on their way towards Hallon, where they'll rest up before heading on to Thalmia where the real mission will begin!
Hopefully none of the girl's personalities clash and make this trip awkward.

Apologies for the massive GIF file, but them's the breaks with Patreon posts.

Here's a bit of behind the scenes commentary on these shots:

I honestly love these walking side shots we pulled off in the game. These were one of those happy accidents where I was setting up the scenes and thought to myself: "Hey, what if I..." and it worked out wonderfully! Just bop the sprite back and forth a little, and voila! A nice walking scene.

Now getting it so characters didn't all walk in lock step and the game didn't lag itself into oblivion... that took a bit, but we pulled it off!

Hey, Cyber, what do you have to say about these super cool walking side shots?

Mmm. I don't like drawing sprites.

... Cool.
