In today's video, Elli and Julia talk about how we animate our characters in Inspector Schmidt - The Ebbing. Which programs do we work with? Why do we need to be careful not to get lost in detail? Why is efficiency the most important skill as an indie dev?

By the way, if you haven't wishlisted the game yet, now is the perfect time. The Steam algorithm pushes games that have a lot going on on the Steam page in the week before release.

Also: Have you heard about our release party on Discord yet? We'd love to celebrate our second game together with you!

When: 07.04.2025, 17:30 (UTC+1)
Where: On our Discord-Server in the Ebbing-Events channel
What: We'll play The Ebbing ourselves before we drop in on other streamers on Twitch and play a round of stream bingo (we'll explain what that is ;)).

We would be very happy if you join us!

This way to the release party

Best regards from the Active Fungus team
