Thanks for playing! And hey, I wasn't directly inspired by that, but one of my favorite animation creators online is Aaron Blaise, who worked on the Lion King, so maybe I've finally successfully absorbed 0.00001% of his immeasurable talent! I just love that people on his level make videos covering their process at all so we can learn from them.
And oh boy, the announcer was such a fun character to record. My game VO debut hahahaha, I've been hyping myself up to try getting over the fact that I don't really want to hear my own voice while I'm testing my games and finally gave it a go.
