Hello to everyone reading. Some time ago we found a very good animation artist and decided to try adding animations to the game, starting from something relatively simple, the Main menu. 

The animation came out pretty good and we think is of high quality. Together with the artist we analyzed the game and pointed out some moments where his work would be relevant. In the future, we are hoping to be able to plan out scenes with the fact that we can animate them in our minds, so that we can make them truly EPIC! Though some scenes will still only contain still images.

Now, the main question: Do you want it? 

Animating scenes and optimizing the animations is a very hard job (ahem, and expensive...) and takes a lot of time, so we'll have to restructure our development process a bit so as not to slow it down in general. 

If the majority of our players decide that animation should be included in the game, we will set a new project goal which upon reaching it will enable us to actually hire the artist (we'll decide the goal's amount after consulting with the artist himself after you decide whether you want animations in the game or not). 

Time to vote! We need to know your opinions! Thank you for participating in the poll! See you all in the next post.

P.S. There are no animations in the game as of right now, we're still working on optimizing them.

P.S. For some reasons Patreon is compressing gifs in posts, here's the original file: Mainanimtion-with-dust

Yours,
Shadow Portal team.
