What I do

I do most of everything here. As the Lead Animator on the project I aim to always improve the animation quality on everything we do.
Other than the gameplay-related things I've also been the animator on all the Career Trailers, working closely with our Cinematic director.

Company: Avalance Studios

 

Platforms: Playstation 4, Xbox One, PC

 

Engine: Apex


Release Date: May 14, 2019


My work: 2017-2019, 2½year


DCC: MotionBuilder 


What I did

I worked on bits of everything on this project. Mainly cinematics and in-game events but also enemy combat related animations, player interactions & hub-life.

Most of the work was editing MotionCapture, but also capturing the data (both myself in the suit and directing others) & pure handkeying. Other than this I also handled our animation outsourcing & assisted in the implementation.


This video is only a small part of what I did for the project.

Music: Barbara Keith - All Along The Watchtower

00:00 - 00:13: First Cutscene, rough blockin by Hampus Linton during *, edits & tweaks + polish by me. Also all for other wallrat inisde the room.
00:13 - 00:46: Fourth Cutscene, made everything in this shot, from acting the mocap to handkeying firstperson-related stuff.
00:46 - 00:53 Crusher intro, Motioncapture made by Francis. Edits, Camera & Polish by me. (Jump down at the end made by Francis)
00:53 - 01:55 Civilian & Enemy world events. Cleanup, edit, VO sync & polish by me.
01:55 - 01:59 Small player interaction, all handkey by me.
01:59 - 02:04 Audiolog in gut of dead NPC. Rough base for different setup by José Diaz. Edits for new setup + polish by me.
02:04 - 02:08 Planting bug interaction. Actually made with me acting it out in mocap and handkey edits afterwards. Not sure if it helped with mocap tho...
02:08 - 02:58 Enemy "Monster Closet" introductions. Edit & polish + implementation (for many of them).
02:58 - 03:08 Enemy sitting unaware to combat. For when you sneak up on enemies. Mocap acting, editing & polish by me.

Release Date: April, 2009


My work: 2016, 12 months


DCC: MotionBuilder 




What I did

I worked with First & Third person animations for the playable character and a couple of animals.

About: Skylar & Plux: Adventure on Clover Island is a vibrant 3D platformer, a homage to the beloved platformer genre of the previous decade. 


Title: Skylar & Plux: Adventure on Clover Island


Company: Right Nice Games


Platforms: PS4, XBOX, PC


Engine: Unreal Engine 4


Release Date: May 19, 2017


My work: 2015, 6 months


DCC: Maya / MotionBuilder


What I did

For this game I did all the turret animations and the base for the playable character.

The character went through 3 distinct phases each with their own animator, I did the second pass. Most of those animations are remade for the final character, but I didn't work on that transition so I can't say for sure which ones are mine.

About: This game was made for the 2022 Epic MegaJam. The theme was "As above, So below".


It is a Top down twin-stick shooter where you've picked up a mysterious soul-devovering artifact, and in so doing enraged the Cult of the Flying Frogs.

Team: Sleepy Snek Studios


Platforms: PC


Engine: Unreal Engine 5


Release Date: Sep 2, 2022


My work: 2022, 5~ days


DCC: MotionBuilder / Maya

What I did


This game was made by the same team setup as Forefax's Castle, Me on Animation and enemies, Daniel on Level Design and Oskar on Art and Sounds. This time we tried to scope smaller and finish the game over just the weekend, however as usual it bled over into the after-work hours during the week as well. I did all the rigging, skinning, animation, AI and any logic related to player/enemies.

Sadly no win this time - think we went to safe on the theme

About: This game was made for the 2021 Epic MegaJam.

The theme was "Running out of Space".


In the game you have to pick up ground-tiles to use as projectiles to defeat the enemies. And thus managing to not run out of space while still defeating your enemies.


Title: Reclaym the Kingdom


Team: Work Hard, Clay Hard


Platforms: PC


Engine: Unreal Engine 4


Release Date: Sep 2, 2021


My work: 2021, 5~ days.


DCC: MotionBuilder / Maya


What I did

This game was made by me (Animation), Oskar (Art), Daniel (Level Design), Josh (Audio) & Luke (Design) over a 7day period.

The new challenge with this game was that we went for a Claymation style of animation, so all my animations are stepped in 15FPS (figured that'd be roughly 2's). I made all the rigging, skinning, animations & implementations of animations. I also did the "VFX" where I geo-sculpted each individual frame in the effect to get that clay-feeling. 

This Jam won the special Category for best animations!

I made the trailer for the game, but if you want to see some gameplay there are some vids of people playing the game - this being one of my favourites.

Want to see BP-spaghetti?


Here is the Event Graph of the MainCharacter. I set most of this up but keep in mind: this was for a GameJam, if I would've had more time I would've tried to be more organized & optimized.

(though it is quite a niche-game as it requires 4 people on the same machine)

What I did

I made all the rigs and animations for this game. It was mainly 1 character-type with different clothes and building spawn-animations. Also the implementation of the animations in Unity.

About: Godling was a game made during my time at FutureGames. It is a strategy game where you play as a god that commands a devout minion to wander the lands and gospel to increase the religion. 


There's also a base building aspect in the game where you can place buildings in order to build a city for your minions.

About: Ever played a gmod  called Trouble In Terrorist Town? This is that same idea, with the goal to make it more polished & less flimsy gunplay.

Learning Replication in UE4

I set out to make a networked game in Unreal Engine, using only Blueprints. I haven't spent that much time on the art/animation yet, the focus has been on learning more about replication & the setup of a FirstPerson/ThidPerson character. Current set up is made for a listen server, but it shouldn't be too much work to make it work for a dedicated server instead. 


Currently in and working:

 - Lobby and finding server, over steam if connected - otherwise LAN.

 - Movement and Weapons.

 - SurveilanceCameras that can be interacted and destroyed (leaving the last rendered image on the screen)

 - LightSwitches.

 - Track Footprint ability. Interact with a footprint and all footprints placed at the time will light up, in order of when they were placed.

 - Dance Emotes.


(Gameplay with an emulated 150ms ping for more acurate scenario - also to more easily find bugs. Works fine over network, though I had to play over LAN with myself for this recording)


Character Blueprint

If you happen to actually look at the code I'd love to get some feedback on it!
