Marko and Dusan Fajler, the duo behind indie studio Sverun Games, set out to build Crowned in Steel - a brutal action-adventure with its own unique identity. In our latest Indie Spotlight, they share how Cascadeur helped them create over 270 custom animations without prior animation experience, bringing their fluid, combo-based combat system to life with precision and control.

Our latest Indie Game Spotlight features Freerun AR, a parkour game that uses procedurally generated animations - drawing inspiration from Cascadeur’s physics engine. Developer Wray Burgess has been a longtime fan of our software and has incorporated some of its core principles into his own animation approach. While Cascadeur wasn’t directly used for Freerun AR, its influence can be seen in the game's character movement and animation systems. Learn more about Wray’s journey, his passion for action sports games, and how Cascadeur shaped his perspective on animation!

From zero to the hardest fighting game: Indie developer Daniil Lyubimov, the solo creator behind Wize Studios, set out to build a fighting game from scratch - without any prior experience in animation or game development. The result? Ninja Resurrection: A Tale of Kuro - now available on Steam. In his blog article, he shares how he brought his vision to life, the challenges he faced, and how Cascadeur became an essential tool in his creative process. With over 800 animations created in Cascadeur, he was able to bring dynamic, high-quality movement to his game in record time.

Animation gives us full control over movement, timing, and expression - but making motion look natural and dynamic is no easy task. One of the best ways to achieve this is by using references. In this three-part series, we’ll explore how to find and use references for action animation. Part 1 focuses on live-action scenes: what makes them useful, where their limitations lie, and how we can adapt them to create better animations.
