CastleVille
Zynga acquired our Dallas based studio, Bonfire, and we set out on an ambitious journey to make Castleville. Due to Farmville’s wild success, Zynga wanted our studio to push the levels of art and add depth to crafting with Castleville. For the animation team, this meant some difficult challenges, but a great opportunity to come up with creative solutions. These are just a handful of characters I had the pleasure of animating before becoming Lead Animator. After taking on this role, my responsibilities circled around training a couple of satellite studios, coordinating with Zynga HQ, and training the next Lead Animator.
​
Unlike most games, animators worked directly with the concept art team instead of modelers. This allowed the charm of the concept itself to be directly animated on. As a studio, we came up with a render to front camera style using layered alpha’d polys as shown in this chicken run cycle. With each character asset, we worked closely together on what would move and ensured that any upgrades to the character would be able to utilize the existing skeletons and animations.
The avatar system would set forth the tone of our pipeline and export flow. The player was allowed to customize several components of their avatar ranging from heads, torso, waist, and even headgear. Not only were the outfits interchangeable, the player was granted access to change color themes on 2 fronts. All the components, mask definition, export, and implementation were funneled through animation.
