COMPANY PHILOSOPHY
The world's most powerful game animation team
We help refine the gameplay, the feel of the game, the AI, the character (role creation) that fits the game, and the emotional expression.
Game Animator
Before being a game animator, you should be a game creator. The animation section should be the section that plays a fundamental role in game creation.
In order to understand and realize the images envisioned by the director and planners, it is necessary to have repeated discussions with all other sections, make arrangements for production, unify intentions, and incorporate them into the game at a high level.
This is something that animators can do.
