Do you ever wonder what goes into making a simple attack animation in a game? This animation might be pretty, and only take a few seconds to watch, but making it is a lot more involved than you might think. First, you have to have a game designer go through and create the attack idea, putting in a design document. Then, an animator has to go through an animate the attack. A modeler and texture pass must be taken on any objects, like the net you see here. And, an effects pass must be taken on damage, and the glowing net effect. And a foley artist has to go through, come up with appropriate sounds and put them in engine. Even after that, we are not done. The attack must be playtested, and balanced through multiple difficulty levels. Nothing is ever simple in gamedev.
