Early Game Animation

In some of the earliest games sprite sheets where the main technique for creating game animations. Games such as “Super Mario Bros” and “Sonic the Hedgehog” used this 2D animation technique in order to animate the characters. This way of animating didn’t stick around for too long as it wasn’t able to truly capture a character's persona and actions in the same way that 3D more detailed animation can.

Where it’s at now:

In comparison to early game animation today's is far more advanced with games such as Rider's republic utilising motion capture and 3D software in order to achieve extremely high quality and high detail animations that allow for the most immersive player experience.
