Animation Idea for a gim

[TheCatIsCrazy]

Hello there, forumers.

I am here to ask for some ideas on this fine afternoon.
My question is:
See this beatiful little gim?

I have made this in-game with text, custom shapes, and barriers and I know that I want to add something animated, but the problem is that I can’t come up with anything for once.
That’s where you come in.
Please help me

The lore and stuff is in my bio

I could add a picture of it in game if you want though

So you want an animated/moving part? I have an idea.

You could have a symbol, or special character, like maybe this: ✦, and have it appear - disappear. Like a pulse. (Click here for similar symbols)

here’s a rushed visualization:

Have her eyes glance up, as if looking at the stars, waiting… (stargazer is a type of fish btw)

[TheCatIsCrazy]

this is it in-game:

also, @Blackjack (sorry for ping), my idea was to do something like this:
How to create animation (Zappy’s method)
But that is still a great idea

@ReDGh0st

Have his eyes glance up, as if looking at the stars, waiting… (stargazer is a type of fish btw)

good idea btw it’s her
Oh sorry @ReDGh0st I forgot to change the name on my bio her name is Stella

Well If you want to move the whole gim, you’ll need to copy and paste, and match up every barrier and shape again. Which, even for 10FPS like his guide shows, would be extremely memory and time consuming.

[TheCatIsCrazy]

yes but I was thinking that your idea was my plan, but like moving, and not the whole gim.
say you have two frames moving back and forth
that’s my idea but I don’t know what to do for it

Yeah the whole gim is 7% of memory

@TheCatIsCrazy

Yeah the whole gim is 7% of memory

Christ Josh..

@TheCatIsCrazy

say you have two frames moving back and forth

Just have a delayed trigger loop linked to the frames and have them go back and forth.

[Zappy_Zaptos]

It appears i have been summoned

so you need help deciding what to animate or how to do it?

[TheCatIsCrazy]

I want WHAT to animate
I totally didn’t read your guide like 3 times lol

[Zappy_Zaptos]

I see a moon in it
hear me out, add a day/night cycle

@TheCatIsCrazy

so um I’m not gonna do that because then it will kinda look like horizono

k

or make the branch move like in the wind

or just make the sparkle in the eyes rotate or appear/disappear

[TheCatIsCrazy]

okay…
(this is a thinking okay not a confused okay)

@Zappy_Zaptos

day/night cycle

so um I’m not gonna do that because then it will kinda look like horizono

one problem @Zappy_Zaptos
Uhhhhhh I didn’t exactly draw the shapes on-center

[Zappy_Zaptos]

@TheCatIsCrazy

Uhhhhhh I didn’t exactly draw the shapes on-center

explain


made an tiny example btw

@TheCatIsCrazy

they are drawn down and to the left

i literally never draw in the center lol
just move them so it looks good again

[TheCatIsCrazy]

so um they are drawn down and to the left so when I try to animate them its a little weird
and I don wanna use too much more memory for this

@TheCatIsCrazy

Yeah the whole gim is 7% of memory

I gtg for a bit, if y’all want to keep adding, I’ll be back
