NPC Animations Suggestions Thread

Added 2019-03-22 16:17:49 +0000 UTC

Hello! This is a special thread about the upcoming Animated NPCS Bonus Pack.

First, I'm going to re-paste the description from the previous update about this set:

---

I'm imagining a collection of about 20 NPCs, doing different specialize actions. Some might be existing NPCs, some might be new characters-- notably, they'd use unique animations so that they can bring extra life to your game world.

We'll have characters sweeping, cleaning, working with tools, cutting hedges, singing, dancing, playing instruments, etc --

For a good example of what I have in mind, look at these previously-released sets: NPC Actions 1and NPC Actions 2 (I'll probably throw these into the pack as well, why not).

This set will be freely available as an incentive to patrons, and I'll probably also put it up for sale to a general audience. Similar to the arrangement that we have for the Ruined Dungeons and Beast Tribe packs.

---

Here are some ideas that I've been brainstorming:

Animations for these NPCs: chef cooking, maid dusting, butler with a tray of food
NPCs gardening: raking dirt, hedge-clipping, kneeling in a flower-bed, etc
Street musicians, tavern musicians, bards playing instruments
Singers and Dancers
People reading books
Tool-workers: Carpenters, etc
Soldiers sparring, or cleaning/sharpening weapons
Guards holding banners/fags
Guys carrying boxes or barrels
Snake charmer??
Children playing (ideas for this?)

If you have ideas, suggestions, or requests please share them in this thread. I'll be referring to your ideas as I build this pack.

I'll probably start on these animations sometime over the next couple of days, and do a little at a time for the next couple of weeks so we can have a release in early April.

OH and one more thing!!!

I noticed on twitter that National Puppy Day is trending. So I took some pictures of Human the Dog for you! It's a nice sunny day here, and he was happy to sit in the sun for a quick photo-shoot. LOL
