Just curious, will that also feature the mobile turret having opening/closing animations?
It sure will
however animating the sprites so that they transition smoothly from the right side of the screen to the center is not easy and very time consuming; so I decided to use motion blur to convey the transition:
Mobile Turret.gif
That looks pretty baller. Dare I make a suggestion? why not take the last sprite before the smear and make two versions of it: one slightly tilting to the right and another one tilting to the left in photoshop or gimp?
that way you'd end up with a more natural progression to the animation of the turret being fully deployed and wholly avoid the snappy appearance that just blurring the heck out of a single sprite being offset to the center gives you.
It'd also give the player that 'heavy machinery operating' feel the gun itself has in D4.
Just a heads up. It probably looks way better in actual motion I mind, just wanted to let that out.
I don't actually know if you fully understood what I even meant here, but hey im just sayin uvu
