Animation VS Stills in Games

[Deleted member 1963]

When it comes to making games, the creator only has so much time and energy to put into a scene. Animation is more difficult than still images so to have the same amount of scenes and same release schedule you'd have to have lower quality animation. So I'm curious what people prefer. I personally prefer really high quality stills both as a player and creator.

As for me, I would only do still image but people want animations. It takes me a whole night to make 100 images that will only make a second or two of animation. But in a week I can make 150 to 200 quality images that will advance the story and therefore the game. But people want animations, so we have to make them .
