DevLog #15 – We Like to Move It! | Animations in Chinese Frontiers

Hello, Builders!

It’s time for another deep dive into the world of Chinese Frontiers! Today, we’re focusing on something that brings our game to life like no static image ever could – animations.

Whether it’s the precise strike of a hammer, the rhythmic sway of a worker carrying timber, or the effortless motion of a master builder at work, animations transform a collection of pixels into living, breathing characters.

Animations Matter

In Chinese Frontiers, we want every movement to feel as real as the structures you build.

Once you step into the world of the game, the way your character interacts with the environment should feel immersive and authentic. Each footstep, shift of weight, and careful placement of a brick is designed to reflect real-world motion – because details matter.

To achieve this, we’ve dedicated countless hours to refining how our characters move. Whether they’re lifting heavy materials, chiseling stone, or navigating the construction site, we’ve made sure that their actions look natural and true to life.

Bringing Motion to Life

Realism in animation doesn’t happen by accident – it needs precision, observation, and the right tools. That’s why we’ve turned to motion capture technology, allowing us to record actual human movements and transfer them directly into the game. Cause you know, capturing real-world actions brings fluidity and realism to every motion.

We’re not just talking about the big picture. The smallest details matter, too. The way a worker shifts his grip on a tool, the small misstep when carrying a heavy load, and even the subtle shift in posture – these are the moments that make the environment feel truly alive.

The Road to Realism

Animations in Chinese Frontiers aren’t just for show – they’re what make the game feel real. Our goal is to make sure that every movement tells a story, every action feels grounded, and every task carries a sense of weight and effort.

And we can’t wait to show you more!
