Emotion in games is often underestimated, but it plays a massive role in how we connect with characters and stories. In this video, we explore how animation brings these emotions to life, turning a good game into an unforgettable experience. From facial expressions to body language and even pacing, animation gives players a way to feel the highs and lows of a story in ways that other elements can't. Learn why emotional depth is often the unsung hero behind games like The Last of Us and Horizon Zero Dawn, and how the lack of emotional attention can break immersion. We'll also discuss practical animation techniques, like facial animations and timing, that ensure your game characters feel relatable and real. If you're a game developer or animator, these insights will help you elevate your game design and create more emotionally resonant experiences.
