Does it provide code for specific engines?

Yes, it includes specialized code snippets for Unity using C# and Unreal Engine using C++ and Curves.

Does this skill support both 2D and 3D game engines?

Yes, the animation principles and implementation logic provided are applicable to both 2D sprite-based games and 3D skeletal animation systems.

Can I use this for combat frame data?

Absolutely. The skill includes a timing reference table for startup, active, and recovery frames to help you balance light and heavy attacks.

What is 'hit-stop' and does this skill cover it?

Hit-stop is a technique that briefly freezes time on impact to emphasize power. This skill provides implementation patterns for hit-stops to improve game feel.

Game Development

Implements Disney's 12 animation principles within game engines to create fluid character movement and responsive player feedback.

About

This skill provides specialized guidance for applying classic animation techniques to interactive game environments. It helps developers translate fundamental principles like squash and stretch, anticipation, and follow-through into engine-specific mechanics such as hit-stops, procedural secondary motion, and frame-perfect timing. By offering domain-specific patterns for Unity and Unreal Engine, it ensures that character movement, combat interactions, and environmental effects are both visually appealing and mechanically satisfying for players.
